THREE BEERS LATER EXCLUSIVE: Spunky Kentucky Dems Rally Around Exciting NEW candidate!

2013-03-27T17:30:00.001-07:00

You would think that the withdrawal of deep thinker and outspoken progressive Ashley Judd from the 2014 Kentucky senatorial contest would have convinced the Democrats of that state of the futility of fielding a dynamic, charismatic challenger to encrusted GOP Mitch McConnell.

But you'd be wrong. The Democrats have already found an absolutely thrilling young hopeful who is everything a progressive, liberal Dem could want in a candidate.

Three Beers Later is proud to introduce America to the next great hope of the Kentucky Democratic Party:

KWAME MUSTAFA X!

Only available picture of dynamic

new candidate, courtesy

NYPD

What is Kwame's background? No one knows! What are his positions on the issues? Not a clue! His past associations? A complete mystery! His career accomplishments? An enigma wrapped in, in — another mystery!

And the neat thing is, there's no way anybody can challenge him on any of these, because the Federal Witness Protection Program isn't letting anybody talk to him, or even know where he currently is! So any embarrassing revelations or questions are completely off the table!

"This is just fucking brilliant," said David Axelrod, former Obama puppeteer. "When I think of all the time and trouble it would have saved us, seriously, I could fucking kick myself. Fuck!" His MSNBC program then went to an early commercial.

However, in the tradition of shoeleather journalists everywhere, TBL was not about to be put off by a passel of over-gunned government flunkies. We were not able to contact Kwame Mustafa X directly, but we did manage to get in touch with his sister, Chlamydia Shabazz X, dedicated community organizer, National Spokeswoman, Congress Of Racial Iniquity, East Coast Director, Southern Christian Organization for Retributionist Extortion,Regional Liaison, Surly Pack of Lesbian Combatants, at her current position as Diversity Supervisor at UC Berkeley:

"Ain't nobody got nothin' bad to say about my baby brother.

No, Mistah Man, I don't think you do understand.

Ain't nobody got nothin' bad to say about my baby

brother, you good with that...?You have a nice election now."

Californians Cock Snook, Fist at Feinstein!

Mickey "Scraps" Mikowski
CSM 2nd Michigan Citizens' Militia (Ret.)
is Three Beers Later's Special Guest

Military Affairs Correspondent

Even as Harry Reid was scurrying away from the kitchen light and killing Dianne Feinstein's proposed Assault Weapons Ban as fast as his underworked gavel would let him, thousands of Californians were flocking to the Crossroads of the West Orange County Gun Show in Costa Mesa, at the famous Orange County Fairgrounds.

The doors opened early and the lines started long as citizens showed up to grab every single bullet DHS hadn't optioned yet.

People Like Bullets

Although the lines were long and the buying was heavy, there were signs that the hoard buying and fast and furious gun buys (get 'em while you still can) have peaked. Ammo was available in quantities and a wide variety of calibers at the ammo tents and inside the halls the tables had an abundance of rifles little and big, old and new, brown, black and shiny, although oddly very few people seemed threatened by them. The tables were full of high-cap magazines (in CA?!) and other accessories, while word from the ammo manufacturers was that things might start opening up as soon as April.

The show even offered an exciting new commute option for people who read the news:

THE SURVIVAL TRUCK! This armor-plated angel is the ultimate ride for the good citizen who wants to get gone and stay gone in style!

"Can I get that in a hybrid?"

"Why no, Sparky, no you can't..."

There were other odds and ends available at the show, from appropriately offensive T-Shirts and caps

to larimar, a gemstone so rare that it is only mined one place on earth, in one square mile of the Dominican Republic. I witnessed one gentleman as his girlfriend tried on a larimar piece and he didn't once mumble that she'd just hung the price of a perfectly good Smith and Wesson around her neck. Good for him!

The gunshow crowd carries proudly on, undaunted. You can sneer, and you can snort, but they'll still show up, with a ballot or a range card, whichever the world makes necessary.

Special Personal Message from CSM "Scraps": People have asked me why I retired from the 2MCM. Well, the fact is, with the Feds claiming veterans, Tea Partiers, gun owners, bloggers, Tweeters,Fox employees, small business owners, home schoolers, Christians, farmers who use water, people who breathe out CO2 and private practice physicians as right wing extremists whether they want to be or not, we're pretty much all in the militia again now, just like the Founding Fathers defined it... if not for quite the reasons they had in mind. So the 2MCM is a bit redundant at this point.

People have also asked me whatever happened to the 1MCM. To the best of my knowledge, he's still doing 90 days on that parking ticket warrant.

An Unrevisionist History of Ireland, Annual Repost!

2013-03-17T08:45:00.001-07:00

95% of Irish history ends in the words: "And then he was betrayed by..." This covers everybody from Finn mac Cool to the Men of '98 to Michael Collins.

3% of Irish history ends in the words: "And then success went to his head and turned his brains to shite..." This covers everyone from Conn of the Hundred Battles to the Kennedies and Michael Flatley.

And 2% of Irish history ends with the words "And then he made something of himself, but he had to leave Ireland to do it." This covers everyone from St. Brendan to the Duke of Wellington to George Bernard Shaw and John Ford and, well, ALL of our ancestors...

Another Eurosocialist Success Story -- Paddy Goes A-Begging!

2013-03-17T08:45:00.000-07:00

The Irish, who once described themselves with bitter defiance as "the niggers of Europe", have decided to up their game. Now they want to be Europe's Mexicans, as Ireland, once the economic success story of the new Europe in the 80's, is reduced to begging its 70 million emigrés to send money back to the mother country impoverished by its statist, collectivist government policies.

"Welcome to my world, amigo..."

Now sure and one's heart is warmed, achushla, by the notion of shamrock-bedecked cambios springing up around the world, offering Erse Gaelic international phone cards and easy money transfers to the Gaeltacht, just as the dear little NORAID boxes littered the tops of every Mick bar from New York to Boston and all the rednosed sots would gladly chip in a few bucks for 'the lads', er, the distressed folk of Belfast back in the 70's, yet it's hoping I am that the Irish Goverment has something in the way of a plan with more meat to it.

And Jesus, Mary and Joseph set a flower upon my head if they do not indeed. It's a grand meeting they've hosted, and wasn't it chaired by the Taoiseach himself, Brian Cowen, and Minister for Foreign Affairs Michael Martin. Out of the 70 million expatriates in the Irish Diaspora, they've gone and summoned home no less than 180 of them, all "leading figures" in philanthropy, education, arts and "culture"... oh, and about 20 men of business... to solve the Old Sod's financial woes.

And while true it is that the grand affair was closed to the press, it's nevertheless known that some of those grubby-handed tradesmen, the likes of Intel's blackhearted former Chief Executive Craig Barrett, missed the point entire so they did with their complaints about Ireland's levels of education and investment in research and development, didn't the rest of them come up with some grand plans!

Ireland must build a website! The Irish around the world are sorely needing reminding of their Irish culture in the minds of these great men (and a whole 20 women, such a grand ornament the little dears made), as though the Irish were not the only people in the world Deadheads and Trekkies can say need to broaden their interests more.

Ireland must build the world's greatest university of the arts! cried International Investment and Underwriting Chair Dermot Desmond, for sure and all it's true there's nought in more demand in the world's job markets than art majors. And after all, it's not as though the bards weren't having the bankrupting and ruining of Irish culture the last time they were in power.

We should sell Irish bonds, as the Israelis do! was the cry, but Minister Martin demurred, on the grounds that Israel had an economy that could actually pay bonds back, and, after all, weren't they Israelis? Surely we had to keep up some standards!

We must monetize Irish culture! cried Dermot Desmond, and doesn't that just conjure up marvelous visions of Michael Flatley leading a line of stepdancers past the carbombs down to the police station where they can inform on each other?

In the end, the artists said we must give more money to the artists, and the educators said we must give more money to the educators, the men of "culture" said we must have more money for "culture," and the men of business, the black thieves and the back of my hand to them, were excoriated for not making more money for the artists and educators and the men of "culture".

And in the end, the grand government and intellectuals were left with some idea of asking the Irish in the rest of the world to pay for their mistakes.

The only problem with that grand plan, do you see now, is that thanks to the grandest Irishman of them all, Barack O'Bama, there's no more money to be had...

Oh, well, no doubt the EU will bail the wee lads out. It's strange they didn't ask them first...

A Mainstream Conservative Pundit Dares the Heart of Gun-Owning Darkness

2013-02-24T09:26:00.003-08:00

A special guest editorial by Frumley Brooks, Esq., Mainstream Conservative Pundit

Acting in accordance with yet another Brooks family motto, "manibus vacuis, et ad imbecillum spinam," ("empty hands and a weak spine")* mainstream conservative pundit Frumley Brooks sets forth into the dark conservative heart of redstate California.

*Honestly, old boy, your family line seems to have more cadets than the Citadel. — TBL

This past Saturday, February 23rd, (or '.223' as they are inexplicably euphemizing it) was declared by the "commontariat" to be a National Day of Resistance to our Esteemed President Obama and his far-sighted and reasonable proposals that the American people should put their trust in the wise management of the public safety and order in the hands of a man who has so clearly shown his mettle in the management of the public fisc.

In order to demonstrate his "rad street cred" as the young people would express

it, on this issue, the author offers up this photographic representation of himself

exercising the lawful and appropriate use of arms with a firearm sufficient to any

individual's lawful pursuits: an exercise his family has pursued ever since the

first Brooks was ~~transported~~ emigrated to the vigorous "New World."

Donning attire appropriate to his assessment of the event, your correspondent ventured forth into the rustic confines of Bakersfield, California, where a firm named Bear Mountain Sporting Goods, devoted to the retailing of numerous implements available in any color as long as you wanted them in scary black, had organized the First Kern County Day of Resistance, although to your correspondent's perception it seemed the only thing Bakersfield was resisting was the shoveling-up of excess fertilizer. (Seriously, people, we do appreciate the vegetables, but the ungodly pong...)

An earnest young lady manning the gate with clipboard and tally sheet informed your correspondent that some 1400 people had already arrived. Unconfirmed reports later in the day would put the crowd as high as 2000, as parking overflowed the local streets, supervised by local Sheriff's Deputies and the California Highway Patrol (one loves the boots, you know, simply dashing).

Two gentlemen in black suits with name tags and earpieces circulated, largely ignored but objecting to being photographed, through the largely Caucasian and Hispanic crowd, which remained cheerful and in good order as they were harangued by Republican politicians from Sacramento (apparently there still are some), conservative activists and a gentleman from Cuba who claimed to see the same political tactics and practices his family fled there taking place here. (My good fellow: simply because one sees the same practices being employed, to the same ends, with the same result, is no good reason to assume any commonality of intent, as any graduate of a decent Ivy League humanities program can explain to you at length).

An earnest gentleman of substantial girth and excessive hair explained to a local newswoman that the Second Amendment was a civil right every bit as valid and important as those granted by the First, Fourth, and Fifth. Inexplicably he neglected the Third, which provides a valuable opportunity for our Esteemed President Obama to further advance his dynamic social experiments. Elsewhere, other individuals offered suggestion for the managing the intractable problem of gun violence.

In addition there were musical stylings by what your correspondent was assured is a very good country band, that brought back noisome remembrances of similar encounters with a Mr. Charles Daniel and one Leonard Skinner, who could not even spell the name of his band properly, at Mr. Sean Hannity's "Freedom Concerts".

But the most amazing spectacle of the day was watching firearms being simply given away, raffled off, including some rather alarming black rifles and shotguns. In spite of Our Esteemed President Obama's earnest efforts to reduce crime by making firearms too expensive to afford, your correspondent witnessed one such rifle being sold for over thirty-two hundred dollars, which must have put the price of these deadly prizes in five figures. Indeed, many people there seemed determined to make their most of a day at this event.

These are, we are assured both rarer than hen's teeth and more

precious than rubies, and the gentlemen who obtained two boxes

of them seemed to think he had had a good day.

One only hopes their satisfaction at their successful assembly comforts them as it inspires Our Esteemed President Obama to redouble his efforts to bring this nation to ~~heel~~ gether under one ~~boot~~ benevolent hand.

Note: Several typographical errors in this manuscript have been deliberately preserved, to present the reader with a sense of how hard it is to be a mainstream conservative pundit these days. You can almost feel sorry for them. — TBL

Frumley Brooks amends: It has been brought to my attention that certain other gentlemen (and women) of the broadcast "press" also attended this event. The gentle reader will forgive me my lapse; it is not, after all as though they were from PBS...

Che Guevara Deploys to Amazon!

2013-02-14T20:54:00.000-08:00

UPDATE

New inventory has shipped to Amazon! You may now resume your buying frenzy!

NOTICE: THERE IS INVENTORY AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY TO AMAZON. GO AHEAD AND PLACE ORDERS, YOU WILL GET TIMELY DELIVERY.

The first book from my new publishing imprint is finally available!

CHE! The Lost Diaries by David Carter, debuts today on Amazon.com!

THE FACE THAT LAUNCHED A MILLION T-SHIRTS...

Che Guevara, revolutionary icon! Idol of college professors and rebellious adolescents of all ages! Master of women and the battlefield! Steely-eyed executioner of prisoners and economies! The Argentinian firebrand who traveled to Cuba, to Africa, and to South America to help the downtrodden peoples of the world throw off foreign intruders like... um... himself. Best-selling books have been written about him, award-winning movies have been made but trust us, this is a Che Guevara you've never seen before.

Che's treatment in history and culture was a pioneering case in the mainstreaming of evil: Hannah Arendt talked about the 'banality of evil' when she described Adolf Eichmann at his war crimes trial; But that banality doesn't just arise naturally. It has be manufactured.

As a military leader Che was an incompetent, as we see particularly in his African "campaign" and at the Bay of Pigs, where the CIA kept him and his troops out of the battle by means of a fireworks display set off on a small boat. Much more important to guard against that than rush off to where all those cannon and machine guns were firing.

(One might also mention that the African fiasco was so off-putting to Castro that Cuba did not meddle outside the western hemisphere again for nearly two decades, until the Soviets basically hired them to campaign in Angola and Rhodesia.)

As a political leader, he was lost. As minister of finance, he managed to bankrupt a country that was one of the world centers for gambling. He went broke with an island full of casinos and brothels to skim.

Che was, a best, a thug. An inept thug. But give him an enemy on his knees, and he was a tiger. Che personally oversaw hundreds of political prisoners heroically executed after the revolution.

Yet most people, with the assistance of a compliant western media and intelligentsia, never saw the bodies. In love with the glamorized Cuban Revolution, Errol Flynn's melodramatic Cuban Rebel Girl come to life, not to mention Time and Look, what they saw were the photographs of the triumphant procession into Havana and the glamorous Korda photographs of Che looking off into an undefined future like a homicidal extra in another Korda's Shape of Things to Come.

Now, years later, you have kids running around in Che t-shirts who have no idea who the hell the guy they're wearing was. His real evil and the greater evil he represents have been diluted into inconsequentiality and social acceptability.

As David Carter writes in his introduction, "...while the devil would no doubt swell with pride if he were to be confronted with a mere recitation of his iniquities, it is said that he hates laughter, particularly laughter at his own expense. Ridicule is a powerful weapon, sometimes more powerful than a thundering denunciation, and there is a dimension to Che’s characterthat invites mockery, to wit, his sheer incompetence..."

So read this book and laugh, and while your laughter is marinating Che's roasting soul in hell, give some thought to some other contemporary figures worthy of your scorn, and indulge yourself there as well.

And if that's not enough...
