Didn’t Al Franken do the whole “Conservatives love america” snark like, 5 years ago? In a book?

Ayup.

And just like love, it can be faked.
Talking stupid CANNOT BE FAKED.

One of the surest signs of love is it makes you talk stupid.

And just like love, it can be faked.

I support the idea of talking walks, but after a few kilometres the Frau Doktorin tells me to shut up.

Hey, don’t blame me. That was all bayville. I think.

Actually, I really don’t know how this thread went from Joel Stein’s expertise at ~~blowjobs~~ wanking to the political philosophy of lettuce. I blame America, because I am a liberal and I hate freedom. (And I miss Norbizness.)

Genius. The negro president part too, but that one was just beautiful.
RyrRy, do you have to bring poor old lettuce into this?

Comrade Trotsky,

I believe your logic is impeccable by theological standards:

A. You are a leftist.
B. You hate lettuce.
C. Leftists hate lettuce.

I am shocked and disillusioned to see that someone is commenting under the nym and URL of IMDB, without actually being a movie database. Is there no end to the perfidy of the intertubes?

Strangely, leftists *hate* lettuce.

Well, I do.

And I think that from an anecdotal standpoint, me hating lettuce means all leftists hate lettuce. Unless someone disagrees, in which case my central point will only be strengthened.

Stay tuned for tomorrow when Jonah discusses why lettuce on hamburgers is so Anti-American

Spoiler alert–It’s because liberals love lettuce, and use it to oppress white men, who are the only group left that has to suffer from oppression.

Bet nobody saw that coming.

Joel Stein is a mildly funny humorist. He used to be funnier when he was writing about Hollywood for Entertainment Weekly (narcissistic humor goes over better when snarking on The Industry than when discussing serious matter), and he’s generally OK on the “I Love the [Insert Decade Here]” stuff on VH1. Whether he deserves the scorn piled on him in comments here or not, I think Clif missed the boat in the original post.

Only the “before you die” bits saved this thread from utter suckitude.

You found the puns unbearable?

Okay we start with the joke going completely over the OP’s head, then almost immediately devolve into tedious grammar-nazii-ism.

i don’t like to say this, as a long time listener first time caller to sadly no radio,

but clif, you fucked up. your post needed to address stein’s underlying claim to a sarcastic pretense, a la your cohen posts (richard, in re unfunnyness [sp?]). to not have done so is to be risible and dopey, and clif, you ain’t that.

either pull this post or correct it to make the deeper point, which is that stein’s sarcasm is lame milquetoast middlebrow horseshit for the rubes, sarcasm that makes wrong assumptions about that which it lampoons (as you have accurately pointed out in your post abov).

if you don’t do so, you are no better than gateway pundit, dude.

I am not the right person to be handing out sex advice, but I am reasonably confident that you’re doing it wrong; unless you are the victim of a post-hypnotic suggestion gone horribly, horribly awry.

It was very kind of you to let my imprecise writing lead you to believe that I’m the victim rather than the cause of the nausea in these intimate instances.

Because it’s always a good idea to make a second attempt when a joke falls flat:

The best thing about fucking a girl on mushrooms is that all ~~the~~ her vomiting doesn’t threaten my ego as much as it usually does. Those things taste nasty so I understand.
