> “You just made the Right Brothers’ point for them.”

That’s pretty much universally acknowledged as the “I know you are but what am I?” of the internet.

Seriously. You can use it anywhere, and it serves no purpose other than to shut someone up. “By refuting my ill-conceived argument, you just made my point for me! Who’s the smart guy now? Ha ha ha!!!1!”

It’s a classic Keane-eyed wingnut plaint for civility, like they always do when they’ve screamed Yee-haa! and shot at you until the ammo ran out, and now at long last you’re about to clock them in the nuts.

Yeah, it’s like ’04 all over again! Wingnuts never learn, huh?

For what it’s worth, that Crucifix song was actually “Prejudice”, not “How When Where”.

Sothira and Jimmy from Crucifix now have a band called Proudflesh. Sothira’s timing has definitely improved two decades on. Of course, few of us could sing as fast as Crucifix played anyway.

We won!

…um, the sandbox. Now someone is supposed to say, “I two the sandbox,” and we’ll be like, “Uh, we three the sandbox.” And I’m not going to tell you how it all turns out in the end, except somebody…

I didn’t notice you gunning down Green Day’s American Idiot with the same panache, even though it was a poor man’s toy-politicized rendition of the Clash’s “Lost in the Supermarket.”

You just made the Right Brothers’ point for them. God forbid you talk about the issues.

Thanks, Gavin, for putting the Ribot after the wankers. It was a great antidote.

wow, those guys SUCK. I mean if you are going to rip off a famous song for your pro-bush propaganda tune, why choose a lame, cheesy, dated late-80s pop song?

I guess if you are just going to pack it to the brim with tired wingnut cliches, you might as well be as transparently derivative as possible, but Gawd. They make BLT sound like the second coming of Miles Davis with that dreck.

I noticed one of the tags was ‘mush.’ That is perfect. Just exactly perfect.

Is the contract to do the Right Brothers’ Configuration Management for Lyrical Validity a T&M deal? I tell you, a man could get very rich indeed keeping those tendentious assertions up to date.

I can see an enormously complex relational database, updated twice daily, in which such highly debatable assertions as “freedom in Afghanistan” and “Al Qaeda is finding now America won’t turn and run” are checked against the day’s headlines and “adjusted.”

Imagine the versioning system:

03.31.06 Bush Was Right 3.0.12.145.86
04.01.06 Bush Was Right 3.0.12.145.87
04.02.06 Bush Was Right 3.0.12.145.88 …
