In yesterday's mid-day open thread, I noted the Heritage Foundation's ridiculous "FISA Overtime Clock," with which the nutters were hoping to play the fear card once again, only to find out the card's as much expired as the PAA.
The joke of it all was that their first attempt at fear mongering didn't work. It was the countdown to our certain deaths, once the PAA expired:
After the PAA expired and everybody was killed in their heavily duct-taped beds, the sweaty-palmed folks at Heritage swapped The Clock the World Didn't Give a Crap About for this version:
And it quickly became known as The Clock The Spell-Checker Didn't Give a Crap About.
But the crack staff at Heritage was on the case! They now bring you this:
Yep. The spelling is correct, but the friggin' clock doesn't work. Now it's The Clock that Was So Full of Shit, It Was Even Disgusted With Itself, and Refused to Count Right.
The PAA expired, as Heritage breathlessly reminded us, at midnight Saturday. So it's been 01 Day, 14 Hours, yadda yadda yadda.
But Islamofascists have kidnapped the Days column! Aiiiieeeee! It is surely but Step One in the establishment of the Caliphate!
All of which suggests: 1) that even the people who work at Heritage don't read their own crap, and; 2) that the imperative of the PAA in reality means so little to the nutters that nobody's even noticed that the damn thing doesn't work. You'd think they'd be tripping over themselves to cite the Crazy Clock every chance they get, pointing out how long it's been down to the millisecond since [insert your favorite defeat fantasy here].
It's like a clown car filled with an endless stream of goofball ideas over there. The site should just play circus music when your browser lands on it.
