Stupid Republican idea of the day

You mean King Kong isn’t in the Book of Kings? Did King Vitamin and Burger King make the cut?

That was a beautiful thing that brought a tear to my eye and made my heart swell two sizes. If only I could be sure that Mr. Sanders would not go the way of the dodo and the Waltons, but continue grilling sleazeballs like Mulvaney on TV until the very end of time itself.

Of course he is. How could King King (since Kong means ‘King’) NOT be mentioned in the Book of Kings? The damned ape is so kingly he’s literally named King twice!

“Kong” doesn’t mean “King”
IIRC, in the movies they suggest that “Kong” is a word that means “ape” or “monkey”. The Wikipedia page explains differently:

In any event, in no explanation I’ve come agross does “Kong” mean “King”.

Although Famous Monsters of Filmland, back in the 1960s, ran an article about him entitled “Kong of Kongs”, riffing on the film King of Kings. So does the title of the 2007 documentary film The King of Kong

Noun[edit]
kong

king, used as a title before the name of a king
Kong Lars var en konge.
King Lars was a king.

Danish.

Can I get on the record stating that Guccifer is a pretty clever handle ?

It really seems like there should be a crime here somewhere. Receiving stolen property perhaps?

Should be GRUciffer.

“kong” has a variety of meanings in the Cantonese dialect, several of which seem appropriate for the big ape.

Who knew King Kong was Danish?

He doesn’t look it.

That’s a really interesting point. IANAL, so I have no idea, but I agree it sounds like there should be some law against accepting stolen data. I think something like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act would apply to the initial compromise of the data, but I dunno if it would apply to the guy who accepted it.

After bragging on Fox news about how he had been tapped by Trump to come up with a legal cover for his Muslim ban, Giuliani is now telling a federal court that he had no involvement.

The long tradition of elected pols posing for photos with visiting students is not exactly a SRI, but I feel compelled to mention that approx. 100 in a group of New Jersey eighth-graders in DC on a field trip declined to have their picture taken with House Speaker Paul Ryan, apparently saying they “didn’t want to be associated with him”.

Which reminds me of two excellent bands (though both quite different from one another): Norwegian hard rockers Gluecifer and sludge metal two-piece from Athens, GA Jucifer. Both bands come highly recommended to those who like it hard and loud (and everyone should).

Whew! Good thing they’re too young to vote.

Gosh darn it, that reply was supposed to be to this post:

Besides being a bigot and a fascist, he’s also a coward. Fuck him.
Yes Giuliani, this ex New Yorker says “FUCK YOU”.

Good for them.

So did this New York band. Way back in 1999 too!

Congressman Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin says you don’t need Planned Parenthood, you can just go to your local supermarket to buy birth control.
