Vague Ass Baby

I’m back from Netroots Nation at the Rio in Las Vegas, where I didn’t have a laptop due to recent difficulties (and dropping $5 a minute to get online at the Rio business center or whatever it cost was less appealing than losing twice that much in half the time on the blackjack tables).

So I wound up spending most of my time by the pool, drunk courtesy of the cheap, shitty vodka in my ‘suite’ that I managed to transport via suitcase without breaking the bottle and ruining my inappropriately master class ensemble. Roy’s got some poignant takes on the NN10 happenings, starting here.

My impressions:

– Brad Reed is tall! He would have kicked my ass in basketball if we could have ever got that theoretical pickup game organized. Of course, it was supposed to happen in 115-degree Vegas weather, so probably a good thing it never happened.

– I am shit at karaoke. Epic fail. Brad’s pretty fucking good at it, btw.

– Our panel went pretty well. Amanda Marcotte advertised it as ‘funnier than Harry Reid’ – he was speaking at the same time. Seemed like a fairly safe prediction until we learned that he was telling dick jokes in the other room. Apparently, he hit a high note with a bit about Barack Obama, David Axelrod and Timothy Geithner all mashing the heads of their penises together, because that’s the only thing they still had left to do.

– The most incisive statement of the panel came from ‘The Price of Right’ author Alicia Morgan — who wasn’t even on the panel! Sort of like the S,N comment threads. The shorter is something like, ‘Making fun of wingnuts kept lots of people sane from 2000 to 2006.’ But much better than that.

– Pamela Mays McDonald of Cultural Cross Currents and Aimee Allison of KPFA (both of many more things, besides) are hella awesome.

– Roy Edroso and Michael Bêrübæ are both charming, dapper and very, very depraved.

– The Catholic Church and other arch-conservative, misogynist forces are killing women in The Philippines (and elsewhere) with their twisted policies on abortion. This is not exactly news, but just talk to Amanda’s partner Marc Faletti and his crew to discover again just how bad it is.

– Chris Chrisenberry has a money-generating platform for blogs that you may want to check out.

– Todd Heywood of The Michigan Messenger is kicking racist teabagger ass and taking names.

– It is possible to escape from Vegas with $100 still in your wallet (but just barely).

– Miraculously, I didn’t run into a single one of these people.

– I got called out for having too big of a suitcase on BART on the way home from SFO! People were like, ‘Were you packing a prom dress?’ and I was totally going to explain that it was the only suitcase I own, but that seemed like it would take too long, so then I was all, ‘I have a lot of video equipment’ … and now in the minds of a handful of people, I’m not just an overpacker, I’m a possible creep!

Awww, you didn’t get to meet any of the Kewl Kids? How disappointing.

 
 

Actually, I did hang out with Bêrübæ, but they misspelled his name on that list.

It doesn’t need to be better than that. It’s true.

Damn, Bêrübæ’s name just gets more and more of a pain in the ass to type.

BTW, I didn’t notice it before (probably because I didn’t care to look), but Journolist is a fucking sausage party, yo.

Yeah, I mean, it wasn’t like it was a surprise, it was more like, “Oh, of course!” filtering up to conscious thought.

 
 

Wait a minute, Harry Fucking Reid was telling dick jokes? Cuz that’s the awesomest.

And as for making fun of wingnuts, it’s all fun and games until Poland gets invaded. Or Iran. Or Iraq.

 
 

What happens in vague ass stays in vague ass, or so the rest of us likely hope.

Well, there’s a couple of good names on that list, but it seems to be about 1:8 with the 8 being New Villagery types, conventional wisdom hacks, and dull centrists who only look liberal in today’s climate. What’s all the fuss about again?

Heh, yup. It doesn’t make sense unless you realize the fuss is the point – you can never stop screaming about how librul everything is, no matter how much people cave to your insane rightie ranting.

By then Republicans were shooting themselves in the foot, so we could focus on winning.

*delurks* DA’s panel was great. Yes, making fun of wingnuts is excellent for one’s mental health. (mine, at least!) For a few years now S,N! has contributed to keeping me out of a tub of red water. Y’all rock.

And, ladies – just let me add that DA is fine as a frog hair!

The 1972 interview with Saul Alinsky makes me wonder how he’d fit in with “The Netroots”, despite the fact that Glen Beck thinks we’ve all memorized Rules for Racials.

People don’t get opportunity or freedom or equality or dignity as an act of charity; they have to fight for it, force it out of the establishment. This liberal cliche about reconciliation of opposing forces is a load of crap. Reconciliation means just one thing: When one side gets enough power, then the other side gets reconciled to it. That’s where you need organization — first to compel concessions and then to make sure the other side delivers. If you’re too delicate to exert the necessary pressures on the power structure, then you might as well get out of the ball park. This was the fatal mistake the white liberals made, relying on altruism as an instrument of social change. That’s just self-delusion. No issue can be negotiated unless you first have the clout to compel negotiation.

Yeah they wanted E$ to show up at that thing but when I asked about an appearance fee they started stuttering and stammering and it turns out they wanted the best blogger alive to just show up for free like some kind of chump. I was all “Homey, E$ doesn’t walk across the room to take a piss unless there’s a four figure appearance fee on the table, and that’s just to start with.” Besides I made some phonecalls and it turned out Rach Rach Maddow wasn’t gonna be there, neither was Brooksy, neither was K.O,, neither was Chuckles Rose so basically what was the point?

(and dropping $5 a minute to get online at the Rio business center or whatever it cost was less appealing than losing twice that much in half the time on the blackjack tables).

Blackjack: You’re doin’ it wrong.

(* At least at a multi-deck table. Single deck is a bit more difficult.)

That’s OK, actor – I’ve been called worse. And, T&U, I probably could crash through walls if I had a good running start.

Thank you, DA! I know I could never aspire to the journalistic rigor and integrity that is Regnery, but one must start somewhere.

This maketh sense.

Sure, FDR and the rest were able to impose a “consensus” that was equal parts capitalist and populist – but only because the populists had been going after Wall Street louder and louder for the last forty years and after the Great Depression, it was “reconciliation” or death.

I wouldn’t negotiate with any of these fucking free market assholes. When the balance of power comes partly back into the hands of the people, then maybe we’ll talk. Maybe. Until then, it’s reconciliation, rewritten to mean, you’ll fucking obey orders and like it, you motherfuckers.

 
 

I was talking about actual work emails. Yes, I “work.”

That happens to me constantly at work too. In the construction biz, there’s a general contractor and 20 to 30 subcontractors, suppliers, and field personnel, who are “teamed up” on the project. So the general will send correspondence to the whole “team”, and invariably, one stupid motherfucker will reply-all with a message to the general contractor about his/her particular scope. So everyone gets his reply on the whole list. It’s quite irritating. Those people should have to run laps or something.

Ha! I have access to my boss’s email and she subscribes to all these fucking professional listservs. I LOVE IT when people keep hitting “reply all” when they’re just asking to be taken off the list or whatever…and then people hit “reply all” and yell at them for hitting “reply all,” and then more people hit “reply all” and ask to be taken off the listserv because they’re getting too many emails…there are people with, like, 10 years of education.

“dropping $5 a minute to get online at the Rio business center or whatever it cost”

I found the same, as much as $10/ hour, $30 a day or something crazy like that to get a wi-fi pasword,and they are all the same. Big $$ for internet keeps you in the casino where you belong.

I found that crappy net zero is so crapy in any other application, but for Las Vegas it is a hit. Dial Up can be a friend.

Ellis Island is a local favorite, and you can met many locals there. Industry people get discount drinks, and the pints of Micros they brew there are only a buck and a half to start with. It’s behind Balleys off the strip conected to the largest super 8 motel in the world. Karaoke in the bar starts after 9 or 10, lasts until 4 or 5 am. Awesome ribs, good pizza by the slice or whole, and another full menu restraunt. An excellent atmosphere for a reasonably priced drinking episode.

Daniel Foster is slowly becoming my favourite Cornerite:

I know that this is remedial for Cornerites, but the electoral college is one of the last vestiges of federalism we have left. It reflects the Founders’ conviction that the method of choosing the Executive should reflect the will of the several states qua states — he’s called the President of the United States, not the President of America. The desire to protect the integrity and discreteness of the states, and to prevent the most populace states from running up the score in the popular vote, was the essence of the Connecticut Compromise. Do away with the college and you might as well abolish the Senate. Not that many on the Left would shed too many tears over that prospect.

“It’s easy to say something sucks without offering a replacement.”


Unbeknown to Hitler,
Himmler had spent the last months of the war trying to negotiate a peace settlement with the western Allies through a Swedish intermediary, Count Bernadotte. He informed the Allies that with Hitler holed up in Berlin he was the effective ruler of the Reich. He offered to surrender the German armies in the west but insisted on being able to continue the war against the Russians in the east. He even released some Jewish prisoners to show his good faith. Whatever made Himmler believe that the Allies would be willing to negotiate with him is unknown, but it is perhaps an example of the unreality of the world he had been living in for so long.

 
 

Fa, a measure of distance, and not one of the smallest ones.

 
 

Man, Himmler went out like a bitch. At least Hitler had the dignity to kill himself.

“Man, Himmler went out like a bitch. At least Hitler had the dignity to kill himself.”

Read Further:

Disguised as an army sergeant, with his moustache shaved off, and wearing an eye-patch, he was looking to get back to Bavaria. It never happened. Soon after, he was arrested near Flensburg, ironically because, as is befitting a former Police Chief, his papers were considered to be in too good an order. Recognised as Heinrich Himmler he was placed under armed guard. Moved to Luneburg in northern Germany he was examined by British doctor who failed to spot the concealed cyanide tablet. Just prior to his formal interrogation he bit into it and committed suicide. His last words were, ” I am, Heinrich Himmler.”

But yeah, kindo’ of Beotch.

Gay Pat Bruce sez:

As I noted at the time, this was a very complex story and I had a pretty good hunch that Mrs. Sherrod was not the angel she appeared to be. I am correct. She is a picture perfect product of the liberal policies that make African-Americans dependent on the Federal Government and foster a victimization mentality.

It wasn’t the lynchers, or the guy who killed her father & got away w/ it, or hundreds of yrs. of slavery, it (of course) was Obama & his socialist minions who’ve made black people think they’re some sort of victim.

“By invoking this grotesque, toxic stereotype, Oliver Stone has outed himself as an anti-Semite,” said AJC executive director David Harris said in a statement. “For all of Stone’s progressive pretensions, “his remark is no different from one of the drunken, Jew-hating rants of his fellow Hollywood celebrity, Mel Gibson.”

“We are deeply offended,” Elan Steinberg, vice president of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivor, said in another statement. “These are words of hate and a disgraceful evocation of anti-Semitism. Shame on Oliver Stone.”

Mornin’ T&U. I’m just waiting for some fresh thread, feed me Tintin! However I see that Talking Points Memo has picked up the Jeffery Lord fucknozzle story.

Sherrod Critic: She Used ‘Lynching’ To Gin Up Democratic Voters

The only way to improve that story would be if it was all in that cock font.

 
 

Lord:
“”I have felt for a long time that my friends on the American left, in the Democratic party have just had this atrocious history with racial issue,” Lord said. “I mean it just can’t possibly be any worse.”

I am reduced to merely quoting him as there simply are no words. I got nothin’

 
 

And more:

“Barraged by criticism Monday, Lord later expanded his critique of Sherrod by arguing that Hall wasn’t beaten to death by enough people to constituted a mob, and therefore it couldn’t have been a lynching in two different ways. He stands by that assessment.

“Certainly the image in my head of a lynching is rope around the neck,” Lord told me. “And when we really got into this, it was quite apparent to me that there was all sorts of other things. That there has to be a mob — mob action. Well what is a mob? Is it two people? Is it three people?”

Lord says he doesn’t want Sherrod to lose her job, and urges his fellow conservatives to work toward winning over black voters. “Get out there and engage on race,” Lord said. “There’s no reason in the world that we can’t be getting the black vote. But it’s our job to separate black from left and talk about left and right.””

JESUS. “Mob” is not a requirement any more than “by hanging” is, otherwise “lynch mob” would be redundant rather than specific. And I’d like to point out that these (INCORRECT AS USUAL)hair-splitting word quibbles are in defense of Breitbart, whose framing of the Sherrod story was filled with blatant falsehoods. Apply your vocabulary purity tests to Breitbart, Lord, and see how he fares. AND BUY A FUCKING DICTIONARY.

My father, who is (1) an intelligent man and (2) has not been interested in using a computer at any time in the last 82 years, dislikes Microsoft not because of exposure to their products but because he instinctively cheers for the underdog. When I told him that MS had trademarked “Bob,” which happens to be his name, his response was “Can you find Gates’s address for me so I can mail him a ‘screw you.'” I gave him the MS campus address, but I never asked if he sent a letter.

Transcript for those behind firewalls:

SAGAL: But on the occasion of his departure, some people found this 2003 email; it was revealed in some court documents from the antitrust case. In it, Gates complains at great length, with the most bitter frustration and anger – much like any of his customers – about his experience trying to use the Microsoft website to download software. Gates said, quote: This site is so slow, it is unusable. Others pointed to his even more angry, 1999 memo, titled simply, “Clippy Must Die.”

Mr. ADAM FELBER (Writer; Blogger): I’ve seen that video of them putting Clippy in a car. “Hey, where are we going?”

Ms. PAULA POUNDSTONE (Comedienne): Who’s Clippy?

SAGAL: One day the engineers at Microsoft said, “You know, the people using our products, they’re frustrated, they’re angry, but they’re not insane with rage. How can we focus their rage? How about if just in the middle of doing something, an animated paperclip pops up on the screen and says: ‘Can I help you? What are you doing? Oh, can I see?’ ”

Mr. FELBER: “Geez, there’s a lot of trees out here.”

SAGAL: Tell…

Mr. FELBER: “I don’t think we’re anywhere near Redmond anymore.”

Mr. PROVENZA: “What is that, cannoli?”

Mr. FELBER: “What are you digging? What are you digging? Can I help you dig?”

Mr. FELBER: “Oh, you got a baseball bat. Do you want to learn how to play baseball? Maybe I could help you with that?”

Mr. PROVENZA: “It looks like you’re digging a grave. Is this a business grave or a personal grave?”

Ms. POUNDSTONE: So he’s an animated character that you didn’t like?

SAGAL: Yeah, basically.

Have you ever been in the backseat of a ’65 Mustang fastback? ‘Cause it ain’t exactly a 1952 Cadillac back there … and neither is the backseat of a ’70 Mustang (not fastback), a ’79 Mustang (still not a fastback), or a ’78 Cutlass (no fastback offered).

Trust me on this information.

Have you ever been in the backseat of a ’65 Mustang fastback?

As for fastback, it’s where the roof line curves down to the tail in one sweep, like in the classic Mustang line. Think “Porsche Carrera” for a more esaggerated example.

As for fastback, it’s where the roof line curves down to the tail in one sweep, like in the classic Mustang line. Think “Porsche Carrera” for a more esaggerated example.

You anti-American scum are going to pay dearly for the treasonous ruling by Moobat pig Judge Susan Bolton, this November. Hardworking Americans such as myself are outraged by this illegal usurpation states rights. 74% of Americans according to a recent gallop poll either support the Arizona law and dont think it goes far enough. This is a major issue with most Americans and it has a direct bearing on the appaling state of the economy that Obozo has failed to adress.

Book mark this libs, Conservative Republicans will clean house in both the GOP primaries and the general election. And Obama will serve the remainder of his one term as a lame duck President.

Determining who is a legal US resident is delineated in the Constitution as a FUCKING FEDERAL RESPONSIBILITY, you motherfucking bigot.

Also outraged by Assachusetts liberal activist judges who overturned DOMA.

 
 

Seriously, up your game, you were SO close!

 
 

It is also in the laws of ALL fifty states. The Arizona law mirrors the Federal law in all respects. All Arizona is doing is simply enforcing the law that is already on the books. The states have the right to enforce their internal laws and to defend its own territory and provide for the security of its citizens. Immigration laws falls within all of those categories. And since the Socialist Federal government refuses to enforce Our Nation’s immigration laws, it is up to the states to act to defend Our Nation.

Thirteen states led by Michigan have already declared that they will support Arizona in any action undertaken by the Federal government. The American people are outraged over the Federal government’s inaction on the illegal immigration issue, and it is going to show this November.

No. It’s not. The only laws in that regard that states may pass is eligibility for RESIDENCY in that state.

I realize you are a product of the Reagan education era, and therefore never had to, you know, study, but please do try to keep up with those of us who stayed awake during civics class.

 
 

I personally think it’s an excellent electioneering strategy to come to a liberal snark blog to spout off about how you’re going to clean up at the next election.

Will you still feel outraged if you manage to elect the people who are telling you that they will fix the problem but in the end do nothing of any real substance to do so? The consevatives have used this issue many times before and have many opportunities to address the issue and yet, the issue has still not been addressed.

That is because most Conservatives are hardworkers. I drive a delivery truck for the Fleet Pride corporation. And I DO NOT want my hard earned tax dollars going to support illegal alien scum!

 
 

Oh, of course. Should have known there was a racist angle.

As are liberals and immigrants. The scum you speak of work harder than you could fathom.

When I was a kid, I picked strawberries (and raspberries and cucumbers) for a summer job. I can promise you that every migrant worker in those fields, from the oldest to the 8-year-olds, worked ten times as hard and as fast as any of us white kids.

I have incredible respect for migrants’ work ethic. I’ve seen it firsthand.

Re gold frauds:
If the rubes ever get their heads out of their asses, a hard rain is gonna fall. Hopefully, they’ll wait until GB is hosting one of his “take back America” type rallies, so they’ll be able to keelhaul him.

Come now. Whom are people going to believe once they’ve lost all their money in a transparent fraud — the reasonable explanation that it was their own fault for being stupid and greedy, or Glenn Beck blaming it all on a secret government intervention?

Remember the Lottery Uprising in Albania, when 2/3 of the population lost their money in blatantly obvious pyramid schemes run by various forms of organised crime, then blamed the government in preference to themselves? Results: 2000 deaths, a new government, and (ultimately) an opportunity for the criminal groups to set up their own country, in the form of Kosovo

 
 

And since the Socialist Federal government refuses to enforce Our Nation’s immigration laws, it is up to the states to act to defend Our Nation.

By “Our Nation” you’re apparently talking about one that wasn’t largely populated by immigrants? (If you, like me, have been fighting your whole life to get those dirty Irish people to go back to sorry-ass potatoland, then I apologize. If not, what exactly is your major malfunction?

Ah, Socialist! Because you know who also liked immigrants? Hitler, who was a National Socialist, which is just like regular Socialism but concerns the whole Nation.
