It’s worse than that. He’s complaining that in official health documents they are to use the term ‘intellectual disability’ instead of having doctors and hospitals make notations about their patients being, I dunno, ‘fucking retards’ or something.

‘Mrs. Johnson, we do have a range of specialists who can help your fucking retard child enjoy a fuller, more satisfying life, because in the last few decades we have truly advanced our understanding and therapy and social integration practices to help fucking retards like yours.’

Presumably he wishes to also complain about people with physical disabilities such as wheelchair-using patients as ‘god-damned gimp cripples’ aren’t described as such in the medical literature, or those with visual impairments as ‘all screwy eyed’.

Why does he hate Trig???

‘Mrs. Johnson, we do have a range of specialists who can help your fucking retard child enjoy a fuller, more satisfying life, because in the last few decades we have truly advanced our understanding and therapy and social integration practices to help fucking retards like yours.’

I snorted coffee a little.

Maybe this is crap, but I only feel a slight twinge of guilt using the word “retard” to make fun of people because I would never, ever call someone with an actual mental disability a retard.

I’m staying in the boat, but I find it unfathomable that anyone should have a problem with this.

Then again, I’m just a weak-lunged hysterical lunatic with a pussy-ass immune system, so I’m obviously biased.

Somebody shoved a euphemism down Todd’s throat when he specifically ordered a hoagie.

pussy-ass

I draw the line at cat/donkey slash fic.

I got out, was promptly driven insane, and return hurling mangoes like the Cat Lady.

Me, I’d like to know when they will officially classify liberalism as a mental disease? Maybe instead of saying they suffer from liberalism, we should say they suffer from “Intellectual Disassociation Disorder.” Because they certainly can’t seriously imagine that their lies and schemes comport with reality in any way.

Still, I am glad that Congress has taken the time away from spending us into oblivion and indulging its plans to materially destroy the USA to make it a less powerful member of the European Union to alter our mental health definitions to fit the UN’s needs. God knows we can’t help the UN out enough.

Oh, I see. FUCK YOU.

Whhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

You wish. No way we’ll take all of you. California is a shoo-in, but the rest of the states will have to provide us with a damn good reasons.

So.. Changing “mentally retarded” to “intellectually disabled; liberal lie or liberal scheme? Discuss with evidence.

In my day, we had to retard the spark of our piston engines. Nevertheless, I’ll agree not to use “retard” when discussing Trig and his cohort of upstanding intellectually disabled siblithren. However, I reserve the right to use ‘retard’ to slur those roving gangs of layabout backtalking dummies that we see these days. I swear it seems sometimes that they’re not even trying to think. Put your backs into it!

Gee, Warner Todd, you sure are a retard.

And stop drooling on yourself.

Whaddya know – the word still works! What was it that retard Huston was bitching about again?

Idiot. After Sarah Palin’s foot-stomping tantrums about the word, now he’s complaining because when European faggity fag fags make the same objection it’s suddenly socialist and faggy?

FUCK YOU!!!

You wish. No way we’ll take all of you. California is a shoo-in, but the rest of the states will have to provide us with a damn good reasons.

The Frenchman in me agrees.

We have enough problems with the National Front, the BNP, and the rest of these clowns. I’m not interested in providing them with another few million dedicated racists for them to seize power with; one Third Reich was quite enough, thanks.

If you can leave the South behind (not just the Deep South but the entire region all the way up to the Potomac, I’m not taking any chances) – then maybe.

New Yorkers have shown the intelligence to locate our abattoirs and oil refineries in New Jersey. I believe that puts us above the national average.

Good for you. Really.

I just thought for one moment that we knew each other, but you’re not who I was think of.

What I can’t understand is how European pols are still able to pretend that the Republicans are a respectable party, indeed a sister-party to the UK Tories, as opposed to the kind of goons who’d be political pariahs on this side of the water. (Of course, I wish I lived in a world where Tories were pariahs, but hey.) I have a standard challenge to any Tory acquaintance who speaks well of them: name one GOP Congressperson, Senator, or Governor, who hasn’t in the past two years said something that a Tory MP would have been forced to apologise for, and a Tory frontbencher would have lost their job over. There isn’t one. There is no elected Republican today whom David “Son-of-Thatcher” Cameron would tolerate in his party.

Sounds like your parents already did that.

Less a matter of deeply held conviction and more of a “damn it, there goes my fallback!”

I suspect it’s because Europe relies on the U.S. for defense. Occasionally (like the missile shield for the Poles), Republican militarism even coincides with what the European countries want.

Plus you need to give deference to politicians from a world power even if it wasn’t your ally. Heck, both our pols pretend the CCP is a respectable party.

Addendum; actually, I think most of the “why does Europe/the rest of the free world put up with our bullshit?” questions can be answered with “because they rely on us for defense.”

CCP ????

What I can’t understand is how European pols are still able to pretend that the Republicans are a respectable party, indeed a sister-party to the UK Tories

I’ve found that the easiest way to explain this to Brits is to say that the Dems cover such a wide swath of the political spectrum that all three major UK parties fit within the Dem range…meaning that the Rs are the equivalent to the National Front.

“because they rely on us for defense.”

And very often for foreign aid or trade.

meaning that the Rs are the equivalent to the National Front.

Now that is just mean. Whatever did those nice boys at the National Front ever do to you?

CCP ????

Chinese Communist Party (technically Communist Party of China = CPC, but for some reason everyone uses the other abbreviation).

I agree. Don’t know as much about the UK, but in France, the UMP (center right), UDF (center) and Socialist Party (center left) would all fit comfortably under a Democratic umbrella. The National Front (anti immigrant, xenophobic, phony populist) would be the modern day GOP.

Yell “faggot” in my face as I left a pub in east London.

A pub in East London, hmm. Technically, I don’t think we’re talking about the same National Front. And yet in all the ways that matter, seems like we are…

They were not in the pub, they were walking down the street randomly lashing out.

And I was talking about the BNP while suffering from a brain spasm.

Hmm. I’ll bet this guy is one of Ayn Rand’s useful idiots.

I.e., intellectually disabled.

True dat.

In fact, the BNP was a splinter group from Britain’s National Front. The latter seems to have been largely squeezed out by the former, but still exists.

Did Warner TODD Huston find his bukkit?

I guess he prefers to be called a “retard” – it’s easier for him to understand. He gets confused on “intellectually” – too many syllables. We can still agree to call him “retarded” if it will make him feel better.

Hell, I predict the Republicans (whatever they’ve been rebranded as by then) will nominate a mentally retarded person to national office within ten years.

Which is central to Warner Todd’s point (and life).

Maybe instead of saying they suffer from liberalism, we should say they suffer from “Intellectual Disassociation Disorder.” Because they certainly can’t seriously imagine that their lies and schemes comport with reality in any way.

How much projection can someone have and not notice how exactly it pertains to their own worldview?? Seriously, how much??

If you have ever tried to convince a conservative of one of their factless positions, you are dealing EXACTLY with intellectual dissociation. Any time you close in on a point they *immediately* switch to some inflammatory position that’s also based on something factless.

And even more morbidly interesting – they literally have trouble understanding argument by metaphor. They don’t like connecting things of different type but similar relationship. If you say something like Seth McFarlane said on Bill Maher’s show last night, “Cheney said if there’s a %1 chance of terrorism we should invade a country. If that’s the case, if there’s a 95% chance that global warming is real shouldn’t we act?” – like Breitbart and that Amy creature, they **freak out** and start yelling irrelevant stuff as quickly as possible.

The person who cracks the treatment of this literal emotional/intellectual disorder will greatly help the republic.

Having trouble letting go of this. I literally couldn’t believe the bs flying on Maher’s show last night. He kept his patience, to his credit; I didn’t.

I just don’t understand why conservatives can say this bullshit and believe it at the same time. Literal doublethink. How is it possible??

If you have to say things that aren’t true to support an ideology – wouldn’t it be better to just change to a different ideology? One that required less lies, and thus is more likely to accurately reflect reality?

I know we are all capable of self-delusion and seeking emotional comfort – or paid comfort, which causes pundits like Brooks to have their perpetual Magoo views. It just seems so widespread. Even among my relatives, who I’m going to have to visit for Thanksgiving which I’m kind of dreading.

If you have to say things that aren’t true to support an ideology – wouldn’t it be better to just change to a different ideology? One that required less lies, and thus is more likely to accurately reflect reality?

Their ideology tells them that they are superior beings, bound like Gulliver by midgets. Why should they trade that for the unfortunate reality?

I got out of the boat for some reason and managed to win Wingnut Pundit Bingo in the very first paragraph. Between “Big Labor” and “Democrat Party,” this guy established his crazy cred before he even got to his main point. Impressive.

If you have to say things that aren’t true to support an ideology – wouldn’t it be better to just change to a different ideology?

The problem is that the wingnuts you’ve heard of (Toddbukkit) get paid to tell these lies, while the wingnuts you haven’t heard of (the guy who hit the woman at the Angle/Reid “debate”) don’t know that they’re lies. It’s a twofer on the bias scale: vested interest and entrenched belief, working together for as long as the rest of us let them.

” this guy established his crazy cred before he even got to his main point.

The farce is strong in that one.

Literal doublethink. How is it possible??

Well since you eliminate the self delusion that we are all prone to from time to time I’m going with early childhood trauma. Being dropped repeatedly on the head does things to you I’d guess.

That’s not quite fair as many of the winger commentariat, especially when you get down to the level of toaddbukkit or lower, are also drunk on the Koolaid and know not that of what they speak.

Being dropped repeatedly on the head does things to you I’d guess.

Especially from the third floor window.

If you have ever tried to convince a conservative of one of their factless positions, you are dealing EXACTLY with intellectual dissociation. Any time you close in on a point they *immediately* switch to some inflammatory position that’s also based on something factless.

Nah. Usually, they’ll just complain that you’re being mean, dissolve into tears and run off to post about it on RedState or PJM. Next thing you know there’s an erudite article out about “how should we deal with the left’s disrespect and lack of empathy?”

My version of T&U’s evil coworker, the one I mentioned a few days back… fancies herself a national security expert, and a little while ago, actually met a real live Iraqi (refugee from Basra). She tried to engage her in conversation about what the situation back in Iraq was; immediately had all of her preconceptions shot down; and incredibly, came out sullen, bitter and resentful and complained that “who does she think she is talking like that? It’s not like she has any access to classified information.”

It’s a state of mind I just can’t wrap my head around, but it runs through the entire conservative base.

He’s got a point, you know.

For example: when Bush made “Republican” into the new “baby-fucker,” many wingnuts quickly jumped to the newer, sexier “Teabagger” brand, only to then modify their label of choice yet again to “Tea Party Patriot” once their epic fail became unavoidable … for all the difference it’ll make, they can call themselves “Einsteins” next – but the eau d’ dipshit will always come reeking through.

That’s not quite fair

Yeah, I know. It’s an injustice to buy into the false dilemma of stupid vs. evil when clearly many teabuglicans are capable of operating on both levels.

Why does Warner Todd Huston want to make Baby Trig cry?

“If you have ever tried to convince a conservative of one of their factless positions, you are dealing EXACTLY with intellectual dissociation.”

Where I live, which is HUD site based housing, I have several conservatives of various stripes to contend with. First is the classic paranoiac reactionary who is convinced that fluoride is part of a government plot and he buys into most of the political conspiracies out there.

Then is the “free energy and alien tech is being suppressed” guy who buys into the belief that aliens are real, the Illuminati secretly control our government and coincidentally also believes that fluoride is being used to control people but he is a Vegan also.

What both of these guys have in common is that they are little men with big dreams. Bursting their delusional belief system would force them to see themselves as they are. Poor uneducated middle aged men with no money and no power over their lives. I think that would be too much for them to bear.

The third is a bit different. He is a dark skinned black man from (I think) Nigeria who works at the front as receptionist and watches a LOT of Fox News and always dresses up like he thinks he’s a businessman or something. He is not as insane as the others. I can joke and kid around with him. But he also has that “I am somebody who is going somewhere” air about him even though he’s just a receptionist and a HUD financed section eight apartment building.

I think that is what all these dude have in common.

incredibly, came out sullen, bitter and resentful and complained that “who does she think she is talking like that? It’s not like she has any access to classified information.”

That’s the key issue. For them, it isn’t about what is said, it’s about who is saying it. Al Gore will never convince them they’re wrong, no matter how ironclad his argument, because Al Gore is not an authority they trust. On the other hand, Beck and Limbaugh can spew whatever fact-free bullshit they like and be confident that their people will just lap it up.

The new, fascinating (and not just a little scary) part of it is that if somebody they used to trust says something against the tribe, they immediately turn against him because he’s now a RINO and somebody you can’t trust (see Frum, David). It is almost exactly like the scene in 1984 when the mob tears down all the anti-Eurasia signs in a rage when it is revealed that Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

I can spot you one better; Bruce Bartlett.

In the 2005, the man wrote a book accusing Bush of not being a true conservative. He was fired from his think tank (the National Center for Policy Analysis) immediately.

In 2008, just three years later, Bruce Bartlett’s belief became conventional wisdom as conservatives decided that Bush, after all, wasn’t a true conservative (still the party line).

You think they welcomed back Bartlett with open arms? Nope. He remains excommunicated and will be for the rest of his life, because even though he believes the exact same thing they now do, he believed it three years too soon, and it’s not okay to be right before The Movement says so.

That’s why I call them a totalitarian movement. The complete surrender of thought to the movement, and the commitment to goose-stepping everywhere exactly in tandem; move too soon, or too slow, and you’ll be trampled mercilessly.

He remains excommunicated and will be for the rest of his life, because even though he believes the exact same thing they now do, he believed it three years too soon, and it’s not okay to be right before The Movement says so.

And I vote we call Bukkit-boy “Warner ReTodd” from now on. It’s what he’d want.

Look up “premature anti-fascist” for the worst US example of this crap.

Oh, I’ve heard of that too.

Also look up HUAC’s activities during the war. Not only did they continue to focus their investigations on communism (though a little more attention was paid to fascists like the Bund), but they actually refused to investigate the Ku Klux Klan on the grounds that it was “an old American institution” – even after the KKK had proclaimed its sympathy for the Nazis loud and clear.

Are we talking film or book?

Frank Miller’s graphic novel. Winston Smith is a scarred, heroic loner; Emmanuel Goldstein has lobster claws for hands; the Anit-sex League depilate 100% and wear leather bikinis.

No offense, but I don’t remember that scene. Are we talking film or book?

Book. There’s some kind of rally going on, like “We Hate Eurasia Week” or something, with banners and signs all over the place about the war with Eurasia. Then somebody announces that we are at war with Eastasia, and have always been at war with Eastasia.

This happens when Smith is still sane, and he’s astonished to find that not only does the crowd accept the change, they immediately and spontaneously decide that all the anti-Eurasia propaganda they can see around them must have been planted by…the fake boogeyman guy. Goldstein?

I’m sure I didn’t make this up. 🙂 I’d go and look up page numbers, but my copy of 1984 is very close to where my son is sleeping, the stairs creak, and the first commandment in this house is Thou Shalt Not Wake The Boy.

I don’t know if the numbers are accurate or not – seems incredible. However, the simple fact that someone has finally released a poll asking the public “why didn’t you like the health care law?” is worth something. Woulda been nice if they’d done this back during the debate, wouldn’t it?

Cripes.

I had no idea, but there’s outbreaks of Mooslophobia all over the damn country right now:

It’s time to add Florence, Kentucky to the list of controversial Islamic construction projects stretching from Temecula, California to Murfreesboro, Tennessee to, of course, lower Manhattan.

and of course, this is being done by Teabaggers who are not nohow nuh-huh prejudiced or bigoted but just want to stave off the inevitable Shania Law that will be imposed on America if we let the Green Menace build any more mosques. *SIGH*

Mooslophobia – a bottomless cup of stupid.

I just got out of ACL surgery three days ago and I’m hooked up to a water pump thing to pump ice water around the wound on my knee. I conned my adult kids to change shifts to come and “change my water”.

I invited my son to bring dinner and he said, “Just the sound of coming over to change your water mom, is making me lose my appetite.”

Damn kids. I went through twenty years of hell for them to make up sad ass excuses to not come over and whip me up dinner, listen to my brilliant political views (all from Sadly No geniuses) and change my water!

What is this world coming to?

Would Todd change his mama’s water or just let her sit and suffer the Randian way?

Did anybody else see the wingnut meltdown caused by the Colbert appearance in Congress?

The newspaper I work for had a very indignant editorial, calling Colbert’s antics a new low for Congress. And the dingbat-ty Christian I sit next to – who hadn’t even heard of the incident before she came to work – took her cues from the editiorial like the good, little authoritarian she is and called Colbert “disrespectful and insulting.”

A new low? Disrespectful and insulting? Do any of these people actually watch the behavior of the Repugs in Congress? But I guess treating the American people like a bunch of retards is perfectly acceptable.

I know nobody will get the reference, but I must say it:

Save the cankle for the reccos. They love it.

Would Todd change his mama’s water or just let her sit and suffer the Randian way?

He would come and change the water, but charge her time and a half since it is a weekend, because that is the free market solution.

I think I might see if I can sell it when I’m all done with it, as an automatic cold enema thing on some wingnut/tea bagger classified service, it should move pretty quickly, especially if I can get someone to put a fake Palin signature on it.

I gotta do something to get the rent in.

I mean, really. It’s hard to be amused at the thought of all those trees giving their lives for a real Frank Miller “1984.”

Hey, now, I loved Frank Miller’s Charlie Brown.

And to get Alan Moore to do the retcon of the Powerpuff Girls.

WANT.

I second that!

(If you look real close, you can see them in the background in a panel of “Top Ten.”)

“But I guess treating the American people like a bunch of retards is perfectly acceptable.”

Well, Todd for one is fighting hard to preserve the right of the rest of us to call them retards, we know that.

Do any of these people actually watch the behavior of the Repugs in Congress?

Compared to John Boehner, Michelle Bachmann, Tom Coburn, and James Imhoff, he is the soul of propriety and decorum.

Crise, now I gotta go look up Alan Moore and Frank Miller. Curiosity, what a pain to have it.

Did anybody else see the wingnut meltdown caused by the Colbert appearance in Congress?

“My great grandfather did not cross four thousand miles of the Atlantic to watch this country be taken over by immigrants!”

Oh, comic books.

But I guess treating the American people like a bunch of retards is perfectly acceptable.

If you go by the Republican definition of who gets to be “the American people,” they are a bunch of retards.

Frank Miller’s Charlie Brown

That is funny.

“That’s right, Thumbsucker – I see you…”

Also too stop making fun of Trig congratulations for standing up to political correctness!

Chris, was that Colbert’s line? That is fucking awesome!

well, it was good anyway, I need another percocet.

The “always been at war with Eastasia” bit is mentioned in the Wikipedia article:

That alliance[between Oceania and Eastasia] ends and Oceania allied with Eurasia fights Eastasia, a change which occurred during the Hate Week dedicated to creating patriotic fervour for the Party’s perpetual war. The public are blind to the change; in mid-sentence an orator changes the name of the enemy from “Eurasia” to “Eastasia” without pause. When the public are enraged at noticing that the wrong flags and posters are displayed they tear them down—thus the origin of the idiom “We’ve always been at war with Eastasia”; later the Party claims to have captured Africa.

Two girls are on drugs with a leg cut-up? What is this, Planet Terror?

On Yahoo News last night, they had an article about it that had a few clips of Colbert in Congress, including that one. The full quote was something like,

“My great grandfather did not cross four thousand miles of the Atlantic to watch this country get taken over by immigrants! He did it because he killed a man in Ireland. That’s the rumor, at least, I don’t know if it’s true. Actually, I’d like to have that stricken from the record.”

No, one’s got a cankle.

almost zombies

Frank Miller – Wrote and drew the comic books “Sin City” and “300.” Miller also directed the movie version of “The Spirit” from a couple of years ago.

Alan Moore – Writer of some other comics that were made into movies recently, notably “The Watchmen” and “V for Vendetta.” (Less notably, “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.”)

I need another percocet

Uh huh

I’ve met wingnuts…e.i., retards, who watch Colbert without catching one bit of the satire, I haven’t had the chance to ask them what they think now.

Two girls are on drugs with a leg cut-up? What is this, Planet Terror?

I’m not on drugs. That kind, anyway. And I’m pretty much healed, cut-wise.

I just cain’t walk.

Errr, I haven’t read “Lost Girls” but I’d still be afraid of a Moore retcon of Powerpuff Girls.

oh, kate, I hope the son is coming over for dinner and water-changing anyway. I’m assuming he doesn’t have kids? Because you could probably reduce him to a whimpering bitty boy by describing in graphic detail just how he arrived in this world. Then remind him that after all that, you didn’t lose your appetite. I will tell him myself: “Son of Kate, gather all your strength and act like a woman. Get over there and change the damn water”.

Also? They told us years ago that they were creating their own reality. They mock our community for being so reality-based. I grew up with people who were all the time altering reality, bending, shaping, or even just abandoning it, as they needed. Now it is loosed upon the world. Sorry.

Errr, I haven’t read “Lost Girls” but I’d still be afraid of a Moore retcon of Powerpuff Girls.

Lost Girls is a hoot as long as (a) you’re okay with having your childhood’s stories run through a blender, and (b) you’re okay with cartoon pr0n.

Thank you Hoosier, I just saw comic book draw dudes and left it at that, didn’t bother to realize their true fame, I mean not that I dislike comic books. I used to find my big brother’s collection quite fascinating back in 1966 when I was just a wee one learning to read.

Does though seem like the teenage comic book fan just morphed into the 14 year old “gaming” fan of today.

God, T&U, you have leftover Percocets? I never heard of such a thing. You know, they do have an expiration date, after which there’s a distinct danger of explosion, if the humidity and barometric pressure are just right. You’d better send them to me. I have a special containment case.

Alan Moore – Writer of some other comics that were made into movies recently, notably “The Watchmen” and “V for Vendetta.”

I used to get up early on Saturdays to watch “The Watchmen”.

Oh, comic books.

They’re graphic novels! (not that I care actually)

I’ll harness his cooking skills (which are admittedly limited) when he gets here, believe me.

I really wish these drugs were stronger, you know, to provide a little kick with the kick-in on the pain because there’s no better time to hallucinate than now I figger.

Lost Girls is a hoot as long as (a) you’re okay with having your childhood’s stories run through a blender, and (b) you’re okay with cartoon pr0n.

I imagine Lewis Carroll would be quite upset at the sexualization of young girls. I believe I shall faint.

Then again I always found it odd that Professor was trying to make “perfect little girls”.

Two girls are on drugs with a leg cut-up?

Two girls, one percocet

I’m seeing an Alan Moore/Frank Miller collaboration: Cankle and ACL on Revenge: A Liberal Girl’s Got To Do Something

and we cut up a bunch of wingnuts and bake them on rocks in the blazing Arizona desert or something.

I grew up with people who were all the time altering reality, bending, shaping, or even just abandoning it, as they needed. Now it is loosed upon the world. Sorry.

Uhm,……..

you might be grabbing a bit more guilt than is entirely warranted.

T&U can outfit her scooter with blades on the wheel hubs, and you can rig your water circulator to squirt wingnuts with killer bee pheromones, resulting in sting-y doom.

“graphic novels” like those picture/comic book versions of the New Testament that I’d end up getting from some well meaning little old lady who ran the bible school program at church.

I needed more instruction than most of the bible school pupils. I was evil incarnate apparently.

you can rig your water circulator to squirt wingnuts with killer bee pheromones

Or, for the Bioshock fans, all you need to do is splice so that you can shoot bees out of your left hand.

I was evil incarnate apparently.

I thought that was my job.

“T&U can outfit her scooter with blades on the wheel hubs, and you can rig your water circulator to squirt wingnuts with killer bee pheromones, resulting in sting-y doom.”

yes and both T & U and I have bodies like goddesses, wearing inconvenient and non-OSHA compliant scanty loin cloths and bras that barely hold our over endowments together, but somehow we manage to come out unscathed and T & U’s blond hair shines a brilliant yellow while my dark locks have a band of blue just below the part on top.

Our muscles are taught and tense under our alabaster white skin and if you look closely enough you can see little red dots in a uniform pattern all over everything…

yes and both T & U and I have bodies like goddesses, wearing inconvenient and non-OSHA compliant scanty loin cloths and bras that barely hold our over endowments together

Completely unrealistic unless you’re wearing a chain-mail bikini.

SO HAWT!

The newspaper I work for had a very indignant editorial, calling Colbert’s antics a new low for Congress.

It’s outrageous having a comedian waste time in the People’s House!

On the other hand:

Wolfowitz’s testimony before Congress on February 28, 2003, a mere three weeks before the invasion of Iraq:

….In his testimony, Mr. Wolfowitz ticked off several reasons why he believed a much smaller coalition peacekeeping force than General Shinseki envisioned would be sufficient to police and rebuild postwar Iraq. He said there was no history of ethnic strife in Iraq, as there was in Bosnia or Kosovo.

Who are the real clowns?
~

Uh, kate, I’ll be over to change the water ASAP.

Who are the real clowns?

Send in the Republicans!

Make sure you bring your comic book glasses, reality is a bitch without ’em.

oh wait, or was it my reference to red dots that has you wanting to catch the next flight north?

yes and both T & U and I have bodies like goddesses, wearing inconvenient and non-OSHA compliant scanty loin cloths and bras that barely hold our over endowments together, but somehow we manage to come out unscathed and T & U’s blond hair shines a brilliant yellow

TOTALLY UNTRUE.

I am a brunette.

I am a brunette.

Don’t question kate, just grab the peroxide and MAKE IT SO.

Sheesh.

TOTALLY UNTRUE.

Fine: “Your brunette hair shines a brilliant yellow. Because you’re jaundiced.”

Satisfied?

I knew you’d say that, I just knew it.

So we’ll revise, “…and T & U’s brunette hair shines in the sun with red highlights that contrast with her vivid green eyes….”

I am a brunette.

Your hair, it’s like a halo of mouse-brown fire.

Yeah yeah you don’t have vivid green eyes either.

Well there’s some features in that description that I don’t have either but I’m not going to broadcast it here.

Well there’s some features in that description that I don’t have either but I’m not going to broadcast it here.

No loincloth?

Your scanty loincloth is OSHA-compliant?

I got out of the boat, and now I can’t get clean.

Yeah yeah you don’t have vivid green eyes either.

Well, they’re hazel, so I was gonna let it slide…

Fine: “Your brunette hair shines a brilliant yellow. Because you’re jaundiced.”

I knew I shouldn’t have washed down all those Percocet with a bottle of wine.

“I knew I shouldn’t have washed down all those Percocet with a bottle of wine.” said T & U with a wry smile across her face as she arose from her chair and balanced on her one good ankle.

But at least it was red wine, good for your heart” said Kate with a tone of confidence in T & U’s stamina.

The wind blew and T & U’s chain-mail bikini glistened in the sun while they both listened intently, they could hear the faint rumble of Rascal Scooters in the distance…

Hey, now, I loved Frank Miller’s Charlie Brown.

You kid, but check out this rather jaw-dropping webcomic:

Weapon Brown

This has turned into Thelma & Louise by way of Red Sonja, hasn’t it?

Weapon Brown — riding on a giant dick on tracks, I can incorporate that into my comic yes I can. He submits to the will of T & U and Kate.

You kid, but check out this rather jaw-dropping webcomic:

Weapon Brown

YESH!!

This has turned into Thelma & Louise by way of Red Sonja, hasn’t it?

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my bunk.

I got out of the boat, and now I can’t get clean.

Never get out of the boat in the fetid sewer swamps of Greater Wingnuttia.

Kate turned toward T & U and said, “Guess we killed the thread.”

“Yeah, guess so.” said T & U while still balancing on one leg and looking over the horizon at the approaching Rascal Scooters.

Please, go on.

Over the rise, they spied orange flags first. Then the large padded helmets, two signature items of the Red State Trike Force. The squeaking of the tricycle axles grew louder, accompanied by a faint ‘Blargh, Blart Fleagh’.

‘It’s time to hobble’, said kate.

The squeaking of the tricycle axles grew louder, accompanied by a faint ‘Blargh, Blart Fleagh’.

It must have been a good day; the RSTF was more eloquent than usual.

I always thought the Shithouse Troll could be made into a great graphic novel. I mean, I can picture it quite clearly in my mind’s eye; I just can’t draw it. But I know exactly what it should look like.

There are trolls in the shithouse? Anywhere but the shithouse!

Let me jump right in with an on-topic comment before I catch up…

One might be retarded due to a learning disability or an intellectual disability. (That’s assuming of course you tried to learn something but couldn’t; not always the case with some of these willful idiots.) The point is, being retarded is a symptom.

The problem here is the word retarded has a meaning, and it should be pretty clear from its Latin roots what that meaning is. So, you might say that if you haven’t studied any Latin your education was retarded. It’s really not surprising that doctors — and the scientists they rely on — KNOW SOME FUCKING SHIT ABOUT WHAT WORDS MEAN AFTER ALL THAT EDUCATION.

T & U grabbed her wheelchair by both sides and slumped back into it. She sighed, “Its just that damn Trike Force Again.” as she fumbled with some of the controls on the side of her chair.

The setting sun cast a red glow over the wide Arizona desert, Kate adjusted the bandages on her leg and proceeded to move forward, the bottoms of her crutches scratching the desert sand. “Fuckin’ crise, my water gun is empty!”

“Blargh, Blart Fleagh’.

The sound grew louder.

T & U adjusted her guns as one by one the Trike Force began to descend down the far hill beyond them.

Blargh, Blart Fleagh’, constitutional powers, freedom loving…

The noise was deafening, a garbled kind of murmer that grew louder and louder, both T & U grimaced as the sound increased and their leader approached them.

Sheesh, thank you for that astute observation, but since you are a liberal you are probably retarded like all those retarded liberal doctors who try to doctor up our precious anglo english language with their new-math, retarded ebonics.

Just saying.

The noise was deafening, a garbled kind of murmer that sounded remarkably like a never-ending series of wet farts finding release from rippling, morbidly-obese buttocks, and grew louder and louder…

Fixed for Moar Teh Buttocks.

T&U dug around in her bag and found what she was looking for.

‘Here. Ok.’

‘What’s that?’ asked kate.

‘See this’. She tore open a small yellow plastic bag and threw a device over the roof of a house. It bounced off into the alley behind. She showed the plastic bag to kate.

‘Nut-B-gone? Smells like generic cheese-flavoured puffed snacks..’

The wheels screeched and momentarily fell silent.

‘Bleagh! That way!’ The Trike Force squeaked and squelched off in the direction of the device, now giving off pale orange smoke.

excellent exlegs

I mean exford legs

Kate sighed relief “T & U I gotta hand it to ya, your skill with chemistry is amazing, that Cheetoh-bomb did the trick.”

“Yeah,” she agreed, “…but I still haven’t figured out the formula to deal with that O’Donnell bitch.”

Flying monkeys for O’Donnell. Get the ones that can talk.

Ambushed.

Behind them, the Trike Force, angered, wheel out of the alley. Their fingers and faces orange with decoy dust.

O’Donnell steps out into the street in front of the two girls, blocking their escape. She glares.

T&U grabs the rims of her wheelchair. It skids to a halt inches from O’Donnell’s toes.

‘We’re fucked. What do we do? Are we gonna.. have to..?’

‘No.’ kate pulls out a copy of the latest issue of ‘Armed Forces Journal’. She tosses it over her shoulder to the feet of the Trike Force, never breaking eye contact with O’Donnell.

Each member the of Trike Force forgets their pursuit and stare lovingly at the glossy magazine.

O’Donnell screams at the horror of seeing each member of the Trike Force indulging in what she hates the most.

ok I admit it that’s gross.

Flying monkeys for O’Donnell. Get the ones that can talk.

The moneky speaks his mind.

Visual aids.

Visual aids.

We are so going to have to take up a collection to buy those for Kate and T&U.

That’s how you get respect at the orthopaedic clinic, arriving in one of those.

Synchronicity:

Installations
There are a total of 20 installations. Eleven are mobility-device accessible. For the other nine installations located on the beach, complimentary All-Terrain Wheelchairs are available to check-out from the Information booth in the parking lot north of the Pier, and in the parking lot adjacent to Crescent Bay Park.

Not sure if they’re the same ATWs.

Warner Todd Huston, Guest Post at Gateway Dumbshit St Louis Retard

Well, there’s at least ONE acceptable usage!

yes and both T & U and I have bodies like goddesses

Vulcan and Bacchanal?

Oh. Wait. Goddesses…

O’Donnell screams at the horror of seeing each member of the Trike Force indulging in what she hates the most.

Do you MIND?

I’m eating here!

Maybe instead of saying they suffer from liberalism, we should say they suffer from “Intellectual Disassociation Disorder.”

That sounds more like someone who doesn’t trust government but puts their faith in a huckstrix and a shyster…

Of course, you could take it as the other thing O’Donnell hates most, i.e. independent thought, but I realize that’s way too much to ask of the RSTF.

Of course, you could take it as the other thing O’Donnell hates most, i.e. independent thought

No, I’m pretty sure she’s cool with that, because it will distract you while she pays the rent with your contribution.

ok I admit it that’s gross.

At least you realize it. *shudder*

This is like the hawtest thread evar, if you ignore all the stuff about Mah Bukkit and wanking Trike Forcers and concentrate on the chain mail bikinis and ACL scars.

…I had no idea stuff like big lurid surgery scars would be attractive but they’re an amazing accessory for a nice knee. Discovering that I had that reaction made me feel really weird.

This too is a “read JG Ballard” thread.

The fact is, I fuck scars. But I am not gay.

The fact is, any liberal crisicitism of Christine O’Donnelll is biased and not to be trusted, she is a True American Tea Bag Patriot and you are haters. We are taking are country back and you will take several humilating kicks in the crotch liberals as will your Boy Wonder Hopey Changy…… you can keap the change we’ll take America USA and the Consitution back

Gary, what happened to your Twitter feed?

Crisicitism?

When you say that word slowly out loud, it becomes almost beautiful.

Of course, it helps if you’re stoned.

The fact is, liberal hippys are always getting stoned and cashing welfare checks well we the people are working hard, well enough mooching from you leftiwsts and enough domestic terrorists! Taking USA back now

Mr Wattles with the mustache looks like one of those school counselors with which you would never have a closed door meeting. And one that would probably have no qualms about convincing “some retard” to do things that might seem a bit unsavory to decent society.

And, he looks like a fucking retard, too.

What had been booked as a major “tea party” event has been canceled. But does that mean the political insurgency that’s got both major parties rattled is somehow slipping?

Not at all. If anything, it may indicate the strength and vastness of a diverse movement that has a strong grass-roots element while also enjoying the financial backing of special interests, conservative billionaires, and longtime GOP operatives. Like Democrats and Republicans, tea partyers are numerous enough to justify infighting.

I’d like to know when they will officially classify liberalism as a mental disease? Maybe instead of saying they suffer from liberalism, we should say they suffer from “Intellectual Disassociation Disorder.”

This sentiment would be enthusiastically applauded by any Komissar under Beria – Soviet dissidents were routinely “diagnosed” as insane (since only a lunatic would oppose the loving embrace of the Politburo) – & then chained to their beds & subjected to such delights as massive injections of insulin or electroshock “therapy” to cure them. But I’m sure their sudden passion about The Ruling Class As Parasite & newfound love for decrying the elite’s “class war” against them are all just a freaky coincidence.

Somewhere, the few reamaining Trotskyites are laughing their asses off.

This too is a “read JG Ballard” thread.

This world is becoming a JG Ballard world. And I don’t mean that in a good way.

Something tells me that Warner Todd Huston wouldn’t last long at a Huey Lewis concert, if you know what I mean. He would probably be outsmarted by some dudes wearing t-shirts saying “I’m retarted, what’s your excuse?” or “I may be retard, but you’re just dumb”.

But does that mean the political insurgency that’s got both major parties rattled is somehow slipping?

Not at all. If anything, it may indicate the strength blah blah blah

This, too, is central to someone’s point.

I really want to bang my head against the wall every time someone talks about Republicans and Tea Partiers as if they’re two separate things.

For Christ’s sake – they’re the same people. The teabaggers are what the GOP was for decades, up until 2008 when the “Republican” label became too hot to hold. The ideology is the same, the voters are the same, the money’s coming from the same place, and every candidate the teabaggers have supported has been a Republican. They’re the same people, and everyone knows it. Only the media makes a show of pretending they’re two separate movements.

Thank you in advance.

And O’Donnell screams and screams, suffused with a fury that eclipses the demonic luminosity of the two ineffably beautiful scarred and scary young women. O’Donnell screams and screams. Above her shoulder-pad, a faint glow hums, seeking a purchase on this reality: a vortex. A vortex which will suck everything she and the Trike Force and the Scary Girls have ever known into a hell dimension so hideous – but then O’Donnell reaches into her Hermès Birkin bag and whips out her secret weapon: the dreaded steel-edged ruler. The vortex fizzles. O’Donnell does not. Quickly she turns; step by step she approaches the enemy: she will bring the Trike Force Boys back from the brink of hell, even if it takes a hundred dozen bruised and bloodied sets of Cheeto-stained knuckles. And then: horror, horror, oh dear god. She steps over the sodden yet still fluttering pages of the Armed Forces Journal…and her elegant red crocodile Jimmy Choos betray her, struggling for purchase on the slick and slimy street, failing. And she slides. Oh god.

You can’t stop me. Don’t even try. I will take you down with me. To hell….

Oh come on. It’s no fun if nobody tries to stop me.

Feh. I leave you now.

It’s obviously too late to stop you, we can only hope to contain the horror.

Oooh, bless your heart, M.Bouffant. I am grabbing you by your shoulders and kissing you; our hearts beat as one. Was there life before this moment? I careth not. Wait. What? You are adorable. Would you like some lemonade? It is icy cold and jingly, and adorned with a sprig of mint.

Shucks. Just drinking some iced tea, actually. But I’d love some lemonade.

In my day, we went ‘full retard’ if we went at all. Not like these modern dillettante retards with their snivelling “I can’t learn this” and “I can’t figure out that” and wanting patience from your passersby. In my day we would climb up on wall and in no time at all we’d fall off it. Right off! After several years of falling off, onto gravel mind you, I became ready to move to The City and become a merchant banker and vote Conservative.

Luxury. In my day, we’d dream of fallin’ off wall. When we was young retards, each day our doctors would start the day by chopping our heads off, and grinding them up in a gristle machine, and then burn the rest of our bodies. And we were grateful for it.

YOU had PEOPLE to chop your heads off. Once we was done pullin’ our own heads off, we had to grind them ourselves under the hoofs of a team of pack mules that we had to rent from a neighbour. But you didn’t hear us complainin’, oh no.

Sorry I wasn’t hooked up to my S,N IV line last night, I did catch bits of last night’s SNL and it had some good moments. Particulary two musical numbers by Katy Perry (if you call that music) and a joke musical number, spoof of Oscar-type musical numbers, that she sang for, very goofy.

Fred Armisen is still very versatile.

Zillions of cameos. No Snoop Dog, though, merely the Timberlake.

YOU had HEADS to chop off?

We were too poor to afford bodies! We were just mere wefts of thought drifting on the breeze, just DREAMING of having physical bodies!

We were too poor to afford bodies! We were just mere wefts of thought drifting on the breeze, just DREAMING of having physical bodies!

Ah, breezes. And dreams. In my day we couldn’t afford to have concepts, or meanings. We had to remain as completely unformed particle probabilities, simple potential collapses of waveforms into something which might in a billion years resemble matter, or energy in any usable form. And even yet Dad used to beat the shit out of us every night, in no way we could comprehend or even one day see the possibility of conceptualizing this. And we were grateful for’t.

YOU had PEOPLE to chop your heads off. Once we was done pullin’ our own heads off, we had to grind them ourselves under the hoofs of a team of pack mules that we had to rent from a neighbour.

Perhaps the single most out of place word in there, and I didn’t even spot it.

I do love how the teabaggers pretend to be a movement of the people against the elites in Washington and Wall Street, yet this guy’s boasting about all the “special interests, conservative billionaires, and longtime GOP operatives” keeping it afloat.

Methinks somebody’s crotchless see-through Frederick’s Of Hollywood astroturf is showing.

I see London, I see France, I see dipshits in a trance.

I do love how the teabaggers pretend to be a movement of the people against the elites in Washington and Wall Street, yet this guy’s boasting about all the “special interests, conservative billionaires, and longtime GOP operatives” keeping it afloat.

Funny that not a single person among that diverse group of white, undereducated, selfish, hateful malcontents has been able to connect these two obvious dots.

It is difficult for a man to connect the dots when his image and his sense of self-worth depend on his not connecting them.

(paraphrasing somebody…)

It is difficult for a man to connect the dots when his image and his sense of self-worth depend on his not connecting them. when he is distracted by thoughts of what waits nearby.

Fiqqst for cartoony goodness.

Their ideology tells them that they are superior beings, bound like Gulliver by midgets. Why should they trade that for the unfortunate reality?

There’s also the demonization of their political opponents to consider. With anything to the left of the One True Conservatism described in such lovely terms as “treason” and “sedition,” asking them to give up their whacky wingnut beliefs is essentially asking them to join the enemy.

Alan Moore – Writer of some other comics that were made into movies recently, notably “The Watchmen” and “V for Vendetta.” (Less notably, “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.”)

Sadly, of the three of those films, I enjoyed the last the most. Watchmen was revolting, and V for Vendetta was dull. If I just ignore the fact that LXG was supposed to be based on the Moore comic, it was a perfectly good ridiculous popcorn flick.

I’d like to know when they will officially classify liberalism as a mental disease? Maybe instead of saying they suffer from liberalism, we should say they suffer from “Intellectual Disassociation Disorder.”

Was it just me, or was the response to this in this thread basically “how dare Bukkit say liberals are insane? It’s conservatives who are insane!”

This world is becoming a JG Ballard world.
Ballard? Luxury. In my day the world was becoming a Samuel Beckett world.

The canister cleans better anyway.

In my day the world was becoming a Samuel Beckett world.

Little known fact: Samuel Beckett used to chauffeur Andre the Giant to school.

We used to dream of a Samuel Beckett world. All we had was an Edwin Abbott Abbott world and we liked it.

Mrs. Johnson, we do have a range of specialists who can help your fucking retard child enjoy a fuller, more satisfying life, because in the last few decades we have truly advanced our understanding and therapy and social integration practices to help fucking retards like yours.’

Sigh. If only Warner Todd Huston’s mother had been the beneficiary of such counseling, he might be doing something productive with his life right now.

The fact is, any liberal crisicitism of Christine O’Donnelll is biased and not to be trusted, she is a True American Tea Bag Patriot and you are haters. We are taking are country back and you will take several humilating kicks in the crotch liberals as will your Boy Wonder Hopey Changy…… you can keap the change we’ll take America USA and the Consitution back

Not bad, but you forgot to throw in the word “socialist” about 20 times.

I once did a presentation for a History of Psychology course which incorporated a poster on which I had written all the synonyms for “person with an intellectual disability” I could find in the literature. Most of them had since entered the popular speech as epithets: “Moron”, “Idiot”, “Imbecile”, “Retard”, “Special”….
