Blew Flamer Babe Magnet

What can we possibly say about this excellent example of Babe Magnetage that isn’t intuitively obvious to the casual observer? More than you might think.

If I’m not mistaken, this Vehicle of Vapidity is a 1989 Nissan Saturn 4-dork that was originally silver, until Bonnie Phumph’s little brother Dirk took over the ride when Bonnie left for animal husbandry school in Middlevale last year. Dirk went on a yellow spray paint rampage.

Puke Yellow Bile is not an attractive color for any Japanese import, so Dirk took it a step further with the LameFlame job. But of course, just like any proud owner of a newly created Babe Magnet, he couldn’t stop there. Nope. He used the rest of the blue dork-spray paint to stencil “Dirk is King,” “Dirk Rules” and “Dirk Rocks” in Tolkien runes on the door panels just underneath the windows.

But he didn’t stop there either. Enter a poor rendition of Marvin the Martian on the left rear quarter panel. This work o fart just screams “Dirk is a complete moron!” And just so anyone missed the message, Dork managed to knock off his rearview mirror in the Dairy Queen drive-thru and repaired it with, yep, you guessed it, duct tape.

Pure efficient genius, previously posted elsewhere, yet appropriate enough for an Overnight Open Thread.

[Updated vehicle make as a Saturn S series per comments below.]

White House Philosophy Stoked Mortgage Bonfire

WASHINGTON — The global financial system was teetering on the edge of collapse when President Bush and his economics team huddled in the Roosevelt Room of the White House for a briefing that, in the words of one participant, “scared the hell out of everybody.”

It was Sept. 18. Lehman Brothers had just gone belly-up, overwhelmed by toxic mortgages. Bank of America had swallowed Merrill Lynch in a hastily arranged sale. Two days earlier, Mr. Bush had agreed to pump $85 billion into the failing insurance giant American International Group.

The president listened as Ben S. Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, laid out the latest terrifying news: The credit markets, gripped by panic, had frozen overnight, and banks were refusing to lend money.

Then his Treasury secretary, Henry M. Paulson Jr., told him that to stave off disaster, he would have to sign off on the biggest government bailout in history.

Mr. Bush, according to several people in the room, paused for a single, stunned moment to take it all in.

“How,” he wondered aloud, “did we get here?”

Read the whole thing

President Bush had no fucking clue as to anything about this.

Idiotic Parents Of The Year Award

I nominate Heath and Deborah Campbell for naming their son “Adolf Hitler.” If a person wants to admire someone – even someone as horrible as Hitler – that’s one thing. But to stigmatize your children for the rest of their lives by naming them after the dictator, that’s just disgusting…

EASTON, Pennsylvania  —  The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child’s full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance.

This stupid couple has two daughters as well, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell.

As you consider this outrage, keep in mind Muhammadans by the millions have also named their sons after a vile subhuman as well. So, any expression of disgust to this story by Muslims will be discarded as sheer hypocrisy.
