The Honda V65 is a shit bike and encourages its owners to be wild overcompensators with bullshit reasons about why it’s actually great.

Just to be clear, it warn't actually O'keefe who wrote that passage on Bigblartblart. Actually, it was that one other guy who went to jail. The one who was disappointed in the White Moderate.

“privileged white daddy’s boys”

I think the term you’re looking for is “Trustafarian”.

Confidant now? I’m just curious, will it officially be Peak Wingnut when William Ayers retroactively becomes Obama’s ex-lover? Or is there more room for wingnut growth after that?

You know, at first I thought that James O’Keefe bit where he was comparing himself to Paul of Tarsus was a bit self-aggrandizing. But then I realised that James O’Keefe is more than likely also a misogynist, fucked-up, power-hungry, lying sack of shit who fucks up everything he touches and loves to make people miserable. So there’s actually probably something to that. Too bad it’s not as, uh, flattering as he thinks.

Breitbart is pissed that Shuster used deception to get Breitbart to appear on MSNBC:

Breitbart: “Irony? I don’t know the meaning of that word.”

I love that he puts MLK “on our side.” So much of the efforts of those dozens of conservative ‘intellectuals’ who’ve spent the last twenty years patiently explaining that MLK was really on OUR side because he was against racism and black people are racist and, and, and…

It’s funny watching the discrepancy between the ‘intellectuals’ who love to claim the mantle of liberals gone, and the base which is still running on the same kool aid as they were in 1964.

someone mentioned cider with port the other day.

I mentioned cider with dark rum, but your mad-scientist experimentation intrigues me.

Hey, since when is absinthe (or Everclear) legal in Kull-ee-fern-yuh? Asking for a friend.

Here, and they send it in a wrapped up little bag:

Good review over at Modern Drunkard too…

Yallen, sorry not to respond sooner but I was suiting action to word… What absinthe does is it’s about 300 proof, so it gets you shitfaced, but the thujone keeps you from zonking out — basically you can save a lot of money by drinking Everclear and Red Bull, but you’ll look like an asshole, whereas with absinthe people will think you read Shelley.

and if you drink the right unsanitized stuff (i.e. with the tree bark and shit), you start to think your Shelley….

btw, someone mentioned cider with port the other day. Tried it last night, I’m found my brand….

“Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their “thus saith the Lord” far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco-Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.”

If there is any justice in this world, O’Keefe’s cellmate’s name will be Balaam.

I think there was only one scientific study ever done on Thujone (back in the 1960s?) and it concluded that thujone didn’t have any groovy psychadelic effects. So what made all those painters and poets (i.e., Van Gogh) so Romantically Mad at the turn of the last century? Probably the cheap alcohol (something akin to bathtub gin) used by distillers eager to cash in on absinthe’s wild success.

Still, absinthe does seem to have a different effect than other liquors (including its cousins like ouzo): your tongue seems to thicken, making conversation a little problematic well before you get drunk; and, yes, even as the buzz hits, you feel curiously alert and awake.

But, no, no Green Fairy. If you do see one, you may want to check out whether alcohol poisoning is involved…

The take away quote from Jonah’s defense:

That book had a single intention: provide an excuse for Conservatives to call Liberals both Commies AND Nazis.

And by that measure it was a complete success.

Where does “truth” or “reality” come into the picture? It doesn’t. He doesn’t need to defend anything.

Yeah, if I cared enough and had time to waste (and I mean literally waste) I would try to map out the history of Jonah’s defense of his “book,” specifically those places where he states he “already responded” to see how many of them lead back to no response at all, or Jonah simply reprinting passages from his book, as if that proves anything.
