@ DKW :the turnout of more than 17,000 people seemed to be a "friendly crowd." I think they loved JFK in Dallas, too. Anyone else feeling queasy?

Yeah, a couple of fanatics with pissant weapons and meth are no threat! Hell, there’s dozens of box cutters in my local Piggly Wiggly. No way they could vuck up a new president’s administration. They’re WAY too busy with the weighty responsibility of helping Americans despite Reagan’s proclamation that “Government IS the problem.” And no WAY that they would ever harsh the buzz by making money on arms or oil trading because that isn’t the American way.

Speaking of assasination plots, does anybody remember the movie “Bob Roberts” with Tim Robbins. when i saw it I thought it was satire, but it turned out to be prophesy.

Jim, I doubt it’s much worse anyone’s time to go over there and gen houzi bi diou shi when he’s just going to moderate comments (to say nothing of the creepy, creepy commentariat and their disturbing-in-context firearms enthusiasm). Speaking of which, when did Sadly, No!’s spam filter become such a prude?

But that man, identified as Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, who was wanted on numerous warrants, jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window. Law enforcement sources say Adolph broke an ankle in the fall and was captured moments later.

Yeah, but did he yell “Sic semper tyrannis“?

Sorry. Already done. Plenty O’Toole in “Diamonds are Forever”. Won my heart *and* the gold medal in the Zaftig Platform competition.

That was a movie. Keith Moon did it for real.

Further research reveals that there is also a dearth of comment threads or use-groups devoted to the capabilities of Heidelberg platen letterpress printing presses. Hmmph. Gun fetishists get all the love.

mikey: that was two words. Gomer likes drawn-out gun erotica.

And (shudder) I see that TIDOS and his buds are doing just that.

Meth can be pretty brutal on a persons appetite . Around here Meth fella’s , and you ladies too , are always dropping out of windows . Depending on the updraft it can take two coffee breaks to check their ankles .

Look, folks. You have to admit, this whole 'scumbag white supremacists plot to murder a widely despised liberal public figure' thing would carry a lot more weight if only there was some kind of precedent for it. In Denver.

D-K W is on the right track with the made-for-teevee movie angle … gotta put a prescient dog or kid that everyone ignores in there somehow. Not to mention a superstar/pundit/celebrity cameo, i.e., Oprah, Dan Rather, Stephen Colbert or (your pick here).

I know it’s petty of me, but I just love how incoherent CY’s writing is in the post and comments. He gets downright illiterate when he’s excited.

Hey, given the subject matter, I’d say he’s doing phenomenally WELL – for a man typing with one hand, I mean.

Now CY is sharing his JFK wisdom – which is downright freaky, coming from someone that looks exactly like the illegitimate son of Lee Harvey Oswald – & thus, I hereby award 1,000 free internets to anyone that goes there & replies with “Back, & to the left. Back, & to the left. Back, & to the left. Back …”

Yikes, I used to date a man who looked exactly like that Adolph guy (minus the Nazi-themed jewelry and tattoos, thankfully). Since he was good in bed, I tolerated his freeloading and eating all my food. But I had to kick him to the curb when I realized he had been stealing cash out of my wallet while I was asleep. He was from South Carolina, so my secret nickname for him was “Southern Poverty”.

it’s acid that lets you fly, not meth.
A couple of double espressos from the Algerian Coffee Shop in Soho used to work for me.

Meth heads aren’t exactly known for being a member of any reality-based community

So. CY is a meth head? Or just a fellow traveler?
