Taming of the Slut

1. You’re a Slut. 2. Your slutty sluttiness. 3-10. SLUT! WHY ISN’T THIS MAKING YOU GO MAKE MENFOLK SAMMICHES AS IS YOUR PLACE?!?

Jeannie DeAngelis, American UnghUnghUNNNNH!!!:
Sextra Credit and the Rehabilitation of Sluts*

Oi. This election season. I mean, every time the Smiler opens his mouth is a wonderful gift from Snark Heaven, but boy howdy is it tanking the usual output from the psychotics and the sociopaths. So many endless reams of run-of-the-mill IT’S ALWAYS PROJECTION as the right wing loses any and all hope of convincing themselves that they are going to stop the endless gulags of our Nigger in Chief.

It’s not that these posts aren’t still insane. It’s just that they are so very defeated, not bothering with the interesting novelty that makes right-wing dementia so… unique to behold. Where is that old can-do moxie?

Oh, hey, what’s that? It’s our old reliable friends at American Thinker with some fine aged wisdom for us.

Shorter (or the second to last port before Jungle):

  • Slut slut slut slut. Slut slut slut slut. Sluttity slut, sluttity slut!

Alternate Shorter (or the last port before Jungle):

  • Ignorance is the best defense against unwanted pregnancies and STDs. P.S. Every single woman who admits sex exists is a dirty filthy slut who must be climbing into every rubbish bin she can find to sate her insatiable thirst for cum.

So I see Republican outreach to women voters is going strong.

So what’s the origin of this week’s crusade against the vagina-wielding infidels?

Once again the left has inadvertently vindicated Rush Limbaugh.

Of course it is. King Rushbo helped lead everyone off the cliff in the first place by trying to Michelle Malkin Sandra Fluke in service to declaring the Pill an enemy of the People. And now that the drug-addled pederast has won himself… attention for declaring that feminazis are responsible for his tiny penis, we apparently get a repeat of dimwitted C-listers following their hero into the What the Fuck singularity.

All right, take us down the rabbit hole, cap’n!

On the Facebook page “Planned Parenthood Info for Teens,” there is a link to a Planned Parenthood site with a page called “Info for Teens.” In the “Ask the Expert” section, our tax dollars are used to school kiddies on after-school activities like masturbation, oral sex, and “blue waffles” (more commonly known as sexually transmitted diseases). For visual learners, there are also links to colorful roadmap-type “diagrams” of male and female genitalia.

So if you’re a sane person, you might see a description like that and think “huh, that sounds suspiciously like a run-of-the-mill sex-education FAQ**, which wouldn’t at all be out of place on the website of a sexual health service like Planned Parenthood”.

If you’re sane and not boringly pragmatic, you’re probably stuck on the “blue waffle” line with your mouth permanently stuck in “what the fucking shit” mode.

If you’re sane, not boringly pragmatic, and too curious for your own good, I don’t need to tell you the context cause you’ve already clicked over. For those of you with functioning survival instincts, it turns out “Ask the Experts” is far from the porno holocaust promised and the “blue waffle” question referenced is a question from a scared teenager asking about it and Planned Parenthood calmly explaining that it’s an urban myth created mostly due to kids not having much access to sex education resources that aren’t complete fundie crap.

Apparently, our genius in residence here couldn’t make it through an entire FAQ entry intended for children and thus mistakenly categorizes the debunked myth as not only real, but a euphemism for all STDs everywhere.

But really, I see no evidence that we’re woefully lacking sex education resources in this country.

Obviously, PP should be ashamed of themselves for admitting sex exists and providing some small outreach for scared kids trying to understand what’s happening to their bodies and what to watch out for as they explore romantic relationships for the first time.

One Facebook post asks the question: “Why are girls who have sex with a lot of guys called sluts and guys called players?” In response, the unofficial guide to Savage U, MTV Extras Sextra Credit teacher Francisco Ramirez, obliges truth-seeking high school students by providing answers to questions on the fine art of sluttery. Francisco reminds confused teens that “there is a little bit of slut in all of us,” so why not just embrace our inner sluttiness?

(flip flip flip)

I’m sorry, but did I skip a page somewhere in here? We were just ranting about Planned Parenthood’s sex education site and now we’re suddenly talking about a random MTV show***. What’s go-

Wait…Sonuvabitch!

This is just a random enemy’s list Jeannie threw up on behalf of her fellow sexphobes so they can react like the market audience for the “Movies movies” (“Durr, I recognize that reference. Iz funny!”)!

Okay, let’s see if we can predict the list of dog-whistle targets for our Two Minute Hate.

Well, first up’s gotta be Sandra Fluke.

Speaking of Sandra Fluke,

Yup, no credit there. But bonus points to Jeannie for trying to invent a joke so devoid of humor that it nearly formed an anti-joke destroying all humor which might come near.

Let’s see next… hmmm, I’m going to go with “slutty co-eds” or something else from porno land.

instead of attending Class 6 — “The Reproduction Right” — in the Statutory Rights of Copyright Owners fall series at Georgetown Law School

I’mma count it for half credit. Also I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that the link she provided goes to a class on copyright law. “Reproduction right” is on the legal right to reproduce a work with and/or without consent. I’d call it an attempt at humor, but frankly that would be too low a blow even for me.

the reproductive rights advocate should have played hooky and joined the kids in Sextra Credit w/ Francisco. If only the War on Women’s Joan of Arc had done what the Facebook teaser suggests and occupied “a seat in the class and let Francisco school [her] with his lecture on slutty slander!,”

Jeannie has an odd medical condition where she is apparently so utterly tormented by her life-long dry spell that she is unable to read any sentence but in raw sexual single entendre. So copyright law becomes Impregnation 101 and a random MTV bonus video on why the word “slut” has no real meaning other than sexphobic abuse becomes… some sort of S&M thing, I guess. Honestly, I’m used to traversing the damaged sexual psyches of many a wingnut, but this one is a whole new entity entirely.

I’d say she’s got a mind like a sex-obsessed Labyrinth, but I’m afraid she’d use it as an excuse to post Minotaur hentai.

the entire Rush Limbaugh slut imbroglio could have been avoided.

Of course. If she… learned that slut-shaming existed (or maybe Jeannie honestly believes that “slutty slander” was some sort of endless gangbang sex dungeon)… she surely wouldn’t have told congress basic facts in counter to an attack on women by clueless old white men in funny hats and thus wouldn’t have earned a permanent place in the “Women we must destroy at all costs” penalty box.

Cause it’s just not quite victim blamey enough unless you can feel Logic’s spine snap in your jaws.

For the record, the sexpert/provost of Savage U is Dan Savage,

NO, really? I thought you meant Michael Savage or one of the many other men with the last name Savage who are high enough on the sexphobe hate list to get second-billing Satan to Planned Parenthood.

the gay activist who, at an anti-bullying speech, told students in the audience to “learn to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about gay people.” Savage then bullied the offended Christian students who walked out by calling them “pansy-asses.”

Yeah, how dare he try to reduce teen suicide rates among young queers and stand against cowardly bullies who hide behind religion and children to commit their hate crimes. Truly he is the Darth Maul to Planned Parenthood’s Darth Sidious.

Sandra Fluke, who took on the pansy-assed Catholic hierarchy on abortion and contraception, would likely accept as gospel Dan Savage’s faculty member Francisco’s evolved definition of the true meaning of the word “slut.”

Hey, you said it, not me. But yeah, while she was whipping the butt of the Child Molester Crime Syndicate and their attempt to try and claim ownership and complete dominance of every employee everywhere, she probably was fully aware of how the word “slut” is used to try and dismiss any woman in public who gets on the bad side of sexist men.

And if not then, she probably found out immediately afterwards when the entire right-wing decided that their only response to the liberal bias of facts was calling her a slut over and over in the hopes that would make her decide to give up her lady-bits to the Stepford Men’s Association.

Apparently the right-wing is still baffled that this strategy didn’t work.

In Ramirez’s S.L.U.T. class, the sexpert stresses that “people who feel judged, isolated and weird about their bodies and about sex” are usually the ones who interpret being called a slut in a negative way. If Ms. Fluke felt “vilified by Limbaugh’s” comments, it could mean that Sandra’s view of her own sexuality is in dire need of positive reinforcement.

The story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Monday, September 24. It was cold in Los Angeles. We were working the Logic slaying case out near the La Brea Tar Pits. I was on my way to work, 11:18 PM, when I got the call. The final missing pieces were found. Corner of Main and 4th, the 12th dumping ground in less than a week.

Seriously, I’m surprised she didn’t pull something trying to strain her brain like that.

During his slut class, Mr. Ramirez says that calling girls who have a lot of sex sluts “makes zero sense” and lacks “fairness,” and that sluts everywhere should “stand up for equality [and] stop the slut-shaming.” Francisco also provides context by teaching a chapter on the history of sluts. If Ms. Fluke had been up to date on her slut history, the feminist would have known that “400 years ago [slut] was an affectionate term for a housemaid.”

Considering all this new information on sluts, it could be that Sandra Fluke and the whole “war on women” contingency misunderstood what Rush Limbaugh actually meant. It may be that Limbaugh’s reaction to Sandra’s demand for truckloads of free contraceptives wasn’t an insult at all, but rather a complimentary acknowledgement of Fluke’s healthy proclivity for playful promiscuity. Wasn’t it Ramirez who pointed out that “[c]alling someone a slut is good”?.

Well of course, in much the same way as a white-hooded redneck yelling “Nigger” at the President is easily understood as a commiseration on the role hip-hop has played in African-American musical expression…

Or maybe, we, unlike you, are not mentally 12 and understand what reclaiming something means and we understand the difference between a bigot being a douchecanoe and an attempt by minority members to blunt a historical weapon against said minority group.

But then, that might be hard to grasp for a group that is still bristling at the injustice of Lil’ Wayne being allowed to use the word nigger when they are no longer allowed to lynch any black person who dares earn themselves a middle class lifestyle even though they are totally “ruining the neighborhood”.

Furthermore, even President Obama could tone down his “slut-shaming” a bit. After Rush Limbaugh insulted Fluke, Obama took time out of his busy day to call the law school grad. The president praised Ms. Fluke on her commitment to citizenship and mentioned to her that her parents should be proud their daughter demanded free contraceptives on national TV.

If only America’s most ardent Planned Parenthood president had attended Francisco Ramirez’s class prior to making that call, maybe he would have shared how proud he would be to have his own young daughters referred to in similar terms. And for reasons other than “speaking out about the concerns of American women,” he could have congratulated the Fluke family on having a daughter associated with a word some liberals apparently feel “should only be used for good.”

And so, after a nationwide hullabaloo over calling Sandra Fluke a slut, we come to find out that the insightful conservative radio talk show host may have actually complimented the Georgetown coed — which leaves Rush once again being vindicated by the very progressives who consider him their arch-nemesis.

If Planned Parenthood, Barack Obama’s beloved abortion provider, approves of the word “slut” being used as a tribute to sexually liberated women, it’s Rush Limbaugh who deserves the public apology, not Sandra Fluke.

Naturally. By not being gullible morons who are unable to handle linguistic complexity harder than “See Dick… rule over Jane his entire life with an iron fist”, it is truly liberals who are the facists of Liberal Slut Shaming.

See what I mean about the wingnuts not bringing their A-game? A mere couple of months ago, there’d be an angry treatise on Slutwalk and how only slut-shaming can stop the gay abortion welfare queens calling the New Black Panthers to take away everyone’s guns.

Now they can’t even be bothered to finish their reflexive women-hatred and Rush-worship with anything other than a pathetic “nuh uh, you” retread.

While I may have drunk deep of the bounty that has been The Smiler’s implosion, I fear it may only signal a coming fallow season for the next month and a half as the syphilitic in-breds of the right come to terms with just how utterly alone their band of malcontents are in this country.

Pray for rain, people. We’re going to need it.


‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. Seriously, though, it’s spooky out there. You can tell that there’s not a wingnut welfare recipient out there who isn’t feeling like a complete chump at the moment. I think getting marching orders to claim a 1998 inoffensive video about a no-duh beat a couple month video declaring nearly half of America untermenschen has broken most of them. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™


*Someone desperately needs to get laid.

**Every time I read a wingnut melting down with regards to our already weak standards of sex education in this country and claiming it’s all how-to guides to performing triple anal in the bathroom stalls, I find myself wishing their nightmare world was real. Imagine a world where teens actually got comprehensive education resources on how sex works and how to safely explore things. Something to allow them to experiment and see what they like and don’t without having to wade through internet misinformation like “blue waffle disease” or “rinsing your vag with coke will totally prevent pregnancy”.

Actually?

Fuck imagining things. Send every teen and pre-teen you know a link to the Midwest Teen Sex Show instead. It provides comprehensive real sex education information about actual sex topics in a snarky informative way that understands kids and doesn’t think that keeping them ignorant and afraid will prevent hormones from existing. Cause fuck the fucking prudes and their denial-based approach to sex education.

*** It’s Dan Savage. It’s MTV. And oddly enough, the only thing she could find to freak out about was a random other guy on an extras vid explaining why “slut” is kind of a meaningless insult because there is no real definition of what is a “slut” or why being a “slut” should be so shame-ridden. But then, given the freakout over Slutwalk… and hell, the freakout over every reclamation effort ever, I guess there’s nothing that winds up bullies more than having one of their favorite toys yanked away by their victims and turned into a badge of pride.

DOH!! Foiled again! When will we ever learn?

 
 

It’s no question that people like this DeAngelis character are likely mentally ill, and I suppose I should be a bit appreciative that the Republican party has given them a place to feel at home, but I can’t help wondering of the party is somehow enabling their psychoses.

I mean, it’s very kind of the party to abandon any hope of political future just to comfort the mentally ill, but they need to follow through and help them with treatment, as well. Otherwise, it’s one of those paths to hell paved with good intentions.

Just saying.

 
 

If all the mentally ill were to recieve proper treatment, it would mean the end of the Republican party.

 
 

On the Facebook page “Planned Parenthood Info for Teens,” there is a link to a Planned Parenthood site with a page called “Info for Teens.” In the “Ask the Expert” section,

so, jeannie has actually seen this with her own eyes…not that that matters because, you know, she’s doing it wrong…do you suppose that any of her wingnutteers also boldly waded through the slutty waters to check it out for themselves? and once they get there, do their brains sleepily remember once being useful while it dimly registers that what they are seeing is not what was promised by jeannie? or does their facts denying ability kick in to over drive?

yeah, i’m guessing neither of them…i’m betting they just take jeannie’s words at face value and make clucking noises to themselves about the sluttiness of the slutty left making everybodie’s children into the sluttiest sluts ever and then crank up the volume on the old teevee and settle into more fox news viewing…

 
 

Reading the comments there is always distressing, but oy veh. Months after the Sandra Fluke imbroglio and apparently not a single conservative in the country has actually read her testimony or an accurate summary thereof.

 
 

“Bullied”.

So, calling a bunch of oversensitive Bible-fappers “pussy-asses” like the pussy-asses the indeed are is JUST EXACTLY LIKE the bullying Dan Savage talks about, which is physical and mental abuse to the point of driving kids to suicide.

EXACTLY THE SAME. Gosh, I’m so glad we could clear that up.

 
 

Haven’t finished reading Cerb, but it’s worth getting off the boat -or at least hanging over the side- for DeAngelo’s bonus photomango: Rush showing off the size of his boner.

zomg…the comments over there are literally amazing…it’s just breathtaking to take in all the crazy over there…here’s a few mangos, but really, you gotta go see them all…

Don’t hold your breath waiting for liberals to acknowledge their own hypocrisy

???

All this talk about immoral women and homosexuals (or as an old friend of mine used to say to a group of young Christians, “Edify, you idiot!”) causes one to wonder about the fate of Monica Lewinsky. She is preparing to release a “tell-all” book about her relationship with Mr. Bill. Why? Apparantly Monica can’t get a real job and is probably destined to remain single the rest of her life. She does need to make a living, doesn’t she? All of this talk about how great it is to be a loose women is just that, talk. If it is so great being a Democrat “slut,” then why is Monica forced to wear The Scarlet Letter? If this is all true, she should be celebrated, not shunned. This treatment is far above mere hypocrisy. Hopefully Monica will find faith someday and a gracious man who will look beyond her past.

jeez…thanks mr. prehistoric!

I hope I never become so jaded that I am no longer shocked. Ever since this despicable treasonous excuse for a human being took occupancy of our White House aided and abetted by liberal/progressive/Democrats/racists/immoral LOSERS, disbelief that this has happened and utter fury that this nation is disintegrating into a cesspool sanctioned by the “pRezident” and his disgusting followers has caused such anger, frustration, and heartache that it is unbelieveable. Only here at AT and with family and friends and other like-minded and AWARE people do I not feel like a stranger in my own country which is increasingly harder and harder for me to recognize. Just his having not been impeached for treason is both sobering and WRONG. A vote for him is an act of treason. Those who vote for him are his accomplices in this destruction and in the murders of the unborn and the suffering promised the elderly via rationing and denial of health care. I cannot comprehend it sometimes and, yet, here it is.

nancy tannebaum=full on crazy…one can only imagine the family reunions…

here comes dj jazzymixedmetaphor:

this from facebook, who consistently censors the posts of males who speak their minds. it’s amazing that there are any men left, dumb enough to even get married anymore. it says a lot about how stupid men really are that they allow themselves to be treated in such a manner. our society is like a frog in slowly warming water. when the end comes, who will do the heavy lifting?

i can only wish that fb censors the posts of males who speak their minds because unfortunately, most of them are dumbassess…

keeping it classy:

I’m surprised that no one has thought of this because it’s so obvious: a PR suggestion to Ms. Fluke. Changer her last name by dropping out the L, insert a C between the U and the K, and drop the E; and there you have it.

hayseed:
… Or maybe a simple calling card for Ms Fluke:

Sandra Fluke, Nymphomaniac
Have condoms. Will travel.

Pul+from+SA:

Nymphomaniac? No, different definition.
She should adverstise that she has sex only with strange, poor, irresponsible boys.

then after a bunch of ‘now they are going to make sex with animals legal…i read it somewhere’ that quickly moves into some hillary bashing, we are presented with rush limbaugh…american heero:

You know what? It wouldn’t surprise me one bit to learn that Rush Limbaugh considers himself the Hummer who sets off IED’s for the protection of conservative politicians everywhere. He says it before one of them can, and then he takes the heat.

and i will leave you with ‘how do these here intertubes work?’

…Such intolerant behavior by the left or the right makes my skin crawl, so I came up with a way to expose this supremacist as the little girly man he truly is: Someone should edit his YouTube speech by replacing every instance of the word “Bible” with “Koran” and repost it.

After all, the Koran has even more strident opposition to homosexuality, so we’ll be doing Mr. Savage a favor by helping him fight for his beliefs. He should thank us for spreading his message beyond just the passive Christian audiences.

He’s a big shot when he’s mocking and ridiculing Christians; let’s see whether he’ll stand by his principles when we help him mock and ridicule Muslims too. Remember, we’re just helping to spread his views to a wider audience, so it would be cowardly and hypocritical for him to object to such posting.

I hope someone with the technical know-how does this. No need to conceal the fact that the word Bible was replaced by the word Koran. Pointing it out would just reinforce the hypocrisy.

Chris Garr:
Awesome idea! Imagine the squirming by this (removed). But, how would you get it out to the public? You-Tube? About five minutes after it was put up they’d just take it down. It’s said that the wheels of justice turn slowly, but I’ll bet they’d lay rubber for a quarter-mile to issue an injunction against something like this.

yeah! and then obummer will send the brownshirts to arrest you!

 
 

For visual learners, there are also links to colorful roadmap-type “diagrams” of male and female genitalia.

This is a shocking thing? These diagrams were a standard element – if not the ONLY graphic element – of my “learn about menstruation” classes in 1965.

“Running around loose”? I bet the guy who posted that hasn’t left his house in six months. That’s my impression of most of the people over there – why would you comment on American Thinker if you had regular contact with other human beings?

and commentater nancy really bears the truth on that, doesn’t she…she readily admits that she only associates with like minded people who will grasp at the ‘our white house and government’ till long after they die…

 
 

“Which exit do I take to get to the Isles of Langerhans?”

I believe you want the map at the front of Bored of the Rings; that classic novel of high-fantasy and low-humor by the Harvard Lampoon of treasured memory. That should set you straight. So to speak.
As an aside, I’m not sure how these leaping lemurs would explain that my wife (a former slutty sluttish slut who out-slutted even slutty Sandra Fluke) and I (a former Republican) have been married reasonably happily for coming up on a quarter-century. We have nothing in common other than a real enthusiasm for slutty sluttishness, but it turns out that’s all you need if you’re slutty enough. I have to figure that these folks who leap about, hooting and shrieking and throwing their poop, are really, really warped about sex. Same as they have been for millennia.

Anyone else really really hoping Election Day isn’t as exciting as I worry it might be with folks like this running around loose?

I’m a little worried about ’em, ’cause they’ll find some screwloose ex-vets to go shoot up a post office or bomb a federal building. And after that, the usual suspects will get pumped up hooting about the upcoming Glorious Republican Revolution of Killing Everyone Who’s Brown.

And immediately after that, when they realize that 99.9% of the rest of the country actually takes a really dim view on violent douchemooks and if they keep up with the hooting, they’re not going to be able to visit the local Scooter Store without someone beating them down with a portable toilet, we’ll be witness to the Grand Shutting-Up of the Wingnutosphere.

Maybe I’m a little optimistic, but I remember how fast the militias vanished after the OKC bombing didn’t win them the acclaim they’d hoped for. And the current crop of wingnuts is a LOT more cowardly and a LOT less able to contribute to any revolutionary movement. I mean, you can’t beat the whole country with three dozen military vets and ten million basement dwellers/elderly cranks.

 
 

People becoming unhinged by a young woman openly admitting that she is sexually active is nothing new. Google “Linda LeClair.”

(Oddly, when you do, the first thing that comes up is something from Althouse. Apparently Ann can’t get over the fact that a college kid lived with her boyfriend forty-four years ago.)

 
 

the entire Rush Limbaugh slut imbroglio could have been avoided.

Yeah, if he’d kept his useless piehole shut.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for liberals to acknowledge their own hypocrisy

“One person is insulted by someone saying something meant to be taken as an insult while another completely different person said we should work to rob the word of it’s insulting power! HYPOCRISY!!!” HELLO I ARE DUM.

when the end comes, who will do the heavy lifting?

I’mma invent a combo winch/vibrator/bug stomper/lid opener…

 
 

Months after the Sandra Fluke imbroglio and apparently not a single conservative in the country has actually read her testimony or an accurate summary thereof.

Tell me about it. A few weeks ago a friend on FB posted a picture of Fluke with the caption along the lines of her spending something like a hundred bucks a month for smart phone apps but can’t afford her own birth control pills. I responded that it was a total distortion of what Fluke was advocating, which was that women who pay a portion of their salary towards their medical insurance plan which is part of their benefits package should receive contraception coverage. Fluke wasn’t crying poverty about how she personally could not afford it.

 
 

A vote for him is an act of treason. Those who vote for him are his accomplices in this destruction and in the murders of the unborn and the suffering promised the elderly via rationing and denial of health care.

So be a patriot and vote for Stericycle totally-for-choice-before-he-was-against-it Romney and Ice Floe Ryan.

 
 

I think the point that Cerb is trying to make is not that “People getting unhinged by a young woman admitting that she is sexually active” is new, but rather that it is old, deprecated, tired out and over, and that the only people still flogging that particular dead horse have issues about which it would be irresponsible not to speculate.

 
 

the only people still flogging that particular dead horse

Hey, I don’t care what their sexual fetishes are, I just don’t want to hear about it.

our society is like a frog in slowly warming water. when the end comes, who will do the heavy lifting?

And you thought flogging horses was a weird sexual fetish.

 
 

America’s sluttiness is intregal to it’s exceptionalism. Why do these fucks hate America????

 
 

A Republican coming from Kissamee
Whose family values are weapons-free
Was caught in a dragnet
With the hooker and pimp set
He quit ’cause “My family is pissed at me.”

Limerick contest?

There once was a Repub from Kissimmee
Who’d slapped and tickled a miss or three
Which he’d paid for in cash, but now said, abashed
“I’ll go, but you’re all gonna missa-me.”

 
 

Who’d slapped and tickled a miss or three

This tickles me.

 
 

This tickles me.

Tickling is fine as long as you don’t pay for it.

(Loved the “My family is pissed at me” line, BTW)

 
 

Mike Horner, R-Fla out of Kissimmee
Left office in riddly mystery
Was he just a straight John?
Or was more going on?
Did he open his mouth and say “Piss in me”?

 
 

So…I read it. And aside from it being an unreadable jumble of random idiotic thoughts, her whole argument boils down to “Even liberals know that the word slut has slightly less offensive anachronistic meanings…so ha ha!–Rush was right!”

 
 

The fact is, Sandra Fluke. I have to say no more, the liberal shame and failure stench follows you. When you use someone like her as an example of a feminist, no wonder only the dregs of society will vote for you tax and spend agenda.

 
 

He’s a big shot when he’s mocking and ridiculing Christians; let’s see whether he’ll stand by his principles when we help him mock and ridicule Muslims too.

It’s been a long time since I’ve listened to Dan Savage, but he does criticise Islam.

 
 

Little Mike Horner
Went to the corner
Noticed a piece of pie
He partook of a slice
Said “how very nice!”
And now he regrets your concern.

P.S. Horner earned a 100 percent rating from the Christian Coalition in 2009, its most recent legislative scorecard.

Little Mike Horner
Sat in a corner
Licking a hooker’s thigh.
Caught by the cops

I’ve said this a million times but – during the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, the sole voice in the Washington wilderness crying out against them was the women’s rights lobby. Enough to sink an oil pipeline deal that was supposed to go through Afghanistan and that the Clinton administration had its heart set on.

Needless to say, the GOP and religious right were absolutely nowhere to be seen until 09/11/2001.

Sandra Fluke, who took on the pansy-assed Catholic hierarchy on abortion and contraception, would likely accept as gospel Dan Savage’s faculty member Francisco’s evolved definition of the true meaning of the word “slut.”

I just love the confidence with which Jeannie just knows what Sandra Fluke thinks of Francisco’s definition of “slut.” The whole article is shot through with these speculative leaps used to tie the dog’s breakfast of “ideas” together.

I’m sure Jeannie agrees with Mahmoud Amidinijad’s holocaust denial, and given her agreement with his homophobia, would gladly wear the moniker of Nazi Islamic Fundamentalist since he’s worked so hard to rehabilitate the term.

Hey, I kinda like this trend.

I think the point that Cerb is trying to make is not that “People getting unhinged by a young woman admitting that she is sexually active” is new, but rather that it is old, deprecated, tired out and over, and that the only people still flogging that particular dead horse have issues about which it would be irresponsible not to speculate

i think this dude sums them up nicely…the dichotomy of what they really do compared to what they think…not that he does any pearl clutching here about sluts being sluts, but he’s an american stinker adherent, so i gotta believe he is apalled that slutty sluts are slutting around…just not with him…

I have enjoyed a few ‘sluts’ during my lifetime, but never was I asked to provide birth control for them. They assumed and checked, perhaps wrongly that I would not want to father a child out of wedlock.

“Hey guy, are you wearing protection?” If not, get some or no sex.

Most of the single women I know voted for Obama and may do so again. Women are in love with his mesmerising voice, his magic smile, and big teeth. What have Chicago Democrats done for American women? The poor things are working two jobs and their out-of work fathers and sons( read Ivan Turgeniev’s masterwork novel when you have time) are hiding whiskey bottles in the attic.
American construction workers are living out of their cars and feeding their kids dogfood.
Obama and Moochlle are living like French Bourbon Kings, shooting too much golf, and Moochlle is eating too many fine steaks and gaining weight were it shows the most.

i like how american construction workers living out of theirs cars and feeding their kids dogfood=bad but poor people living on the streets or having no feed their kids=a okay…

and ladiez…did you know big teeth* are appealing to us? and his voice is nothing close to ‘mesmerising’…

Even before that. Way back in the 1980s I recall women’s rights groups arguing against arming the Afghan “freedom fighters” because of their radical islamist view towards women.

Back when me and my Air Force buddies thought it was cool to donate to the “Afghan Freedom Fighters Fund” because they were fighting those evil Ruskies.

Which I totally understand. But I totally do not understand why we kept funding them after the Russians left. I realize they did all the heavy lifting, but as events have shown, they were the last people that should have been allowed to run the place. Leaving the marxists and Soviets have their fun would have had one giant advantage, namely that it would have then been their problem.

Plus, why did anyone imagine that our little trick of “give the violent extremists tons of cash and munitions and turn a blind eye to their herbal extract export business” would be just as easy for someone to do to us as it was for us to do to the Soviets?

Which I totally understand. But I totally do not understand why we kept funding them after the Russians left. I realize they did all the heavy lifting, but as events have shown, they were the last people that should have been allowed to run the place. Leaving the marxists and Soviets have their fun would have had one giant advantage, namely that it would have then been their problem.

I wasn’t at all aware that we’d continued to fund them after the Russians left – I thought we’d just pulled out of the area altogether.

Why did so much of our aid go to fanatics like Hekmatyar and other nice folks who would eventually become the Taliban? That’s easy; because the entire operation was being closely coordinated with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, and they made sure all the aid was going to their closest pals – namely, fucking nutjobs. For Pakistan, Afghan and Afghan-trained terrorists (the more religious the better) are worthwhile because they can be pointed at India without too much trouble (or at worst, provide training, safehavens, etc for the India-centric terrorists). For Saudi Arabia, supporting a religious crusade in Afghanistan was a way of reclaiming their own God-cred at a time when Iran was trying to make itself the leader of the Islamic world – and also a way to get Saudi fanatics (the Bin Ladens of the world) out of the kingdom and point them at a foreign enemy rather than their own government.

I don’t think the U.S. government ever really knew what it was supporting, not that ignorance is a defense. It was probably just “well, there’s all these tribes of angry Russia-haters, let’s just support the tribes that make our allies happy.”

I’m really not sure what I think about the whole mess. In principle, allying with a godawful enemy to fight another godawful enemy is something I can get behind in some circumstances – no one complains that we allied with Stalin against Hitler, for instance. I’m not sure there were any groups we could have supported that would have been much better than the Taliban – most of the other options were other fucked up warlords (when they rose to power in the mid-nineties, the Taliban were very popular for a brief, shining moment, because people figured “at least they’re bringing order after half a decade of gangsters running the place.”) And the Saudis and Pakistanis would probably have funneled tons and tons of money to the Salafis regardless of what we did.

With all those caveats in mind… I got nothing. I don’t find it as clear-cut a “we were wrong” moment as Iran-contra – for one thing, no one lied to Congress, and for another, what we were undermining in Nicaragua actually shaped up into a working democracy – not true of the government in Afghanistan, which came to power in a military coup and quickly turned into a Soviet client state, Eastern Europe style.

Theoretically, I can see one way that could make sense – support anti-Iranian terrorists, then when Iran whines, tell them “fine, we’ll stop supporting them, if you stop supporting Hamas and/or Hezbollah.” Then see if they take the deal.

In practice, I don’t think that’s what’s happening… because that would imply our government being allowed to cut any deals at all with Iran, which in the current climate just doesn’t seem possible.

By the way, anybody catch this thing? (If so, I will humbly accept the inevitable “ahem”). Apparently, the Senate voted 90-1 (Rand Paul was the lone dissenting voice, fucking Christ, what a world it is when Rand Paul has a better grip on things than most Democrats) to “insist” that the U.S. government should do everything it can to prevent a nuclear Iran, and “would not rely on containment of a nuclear weapons-capable Iran.”

Apparently, “all options are on the table” doesn’t include the option that worked perfectly well for forty fucking years against a country with vastly more power than Iran.

I’m really not sure what I think about the whole mess.

It’s always the same dilemma in the parts of the world that were colonized and left with autocratic scumbags to run the places. Oppressed societies aren’t resisted by moderates. The moderates keep their heads down and try to stay alive. The ones brave enough to put up resistance are sort of put-upon to be violent, since tyrannical states leave no method for redress of grievances outside of armed insurgence. It takes multiple generations, a functioning government and economy, security, and education to produce a population of people that use democratic methods to instigate change–things we tend to take for granted here in the US while we snidely consider the whole Middle East to be some sort of third world bedowan hell hole.

So who are we supposed to do? Stand by and let the Soviets turn Afghanistan into yet another satellite, or fund a particularly vicious resistance group that are known to be backwards, oppressive zealots, or let the backwards, oppressive authoritarians take over and do it all over again a few years later? Or maybe just sit it out and deal with the resentment over that and try to answer questions about why we intervene in certain places to prevent genocide and completely ignore it other places?

This is why I don’t run for president. That and my less than stellar past. And I still have a soul and like it.

I was just saying to my co-worker today that the fix is in. I feel the same way I did in the run up to the Iraq invasion. When every news outlet and prominent talking head agrees that operation “Mess up Iran’s Shit” is a go, whatever Iran does, or doesn’t do is irrelevant. If Romney is elected, the only delay will be however long it takes to stage things for an opening night bigger than “Gulf War 2: Electric Boogaloo” (tag line: “this time our president assures us it’s personal, and totally not like daddy issues or something” which would work in Iran too I guess) If Obama is reelected i think it’s down to like a mere 85% chance American troops will be on the ground there this time next year.

that, my friend, is the million dollar question…

The crazy religious nuts would have gotten their funding from the Saudis anyway. Bin Laden was there and remained rich.

 
 

We weren’t all buddy buddy with Stalin, either. We did that out of pure necessity. If it weren’t for that 2 front war, the invasion in France could well have been repelled. We had our own 2 front war going at the time.

It’s been speculated that the atomic bomb drops had a dual intent: End the war with Japan, and send a message to Stalin. As I understand it (via my history teacher in college), some historians believe that the atomic bombs were meant to be a bit of deterrent to the Soviets, as they had already expressed their intentions for Eastern Europe.

 
 

So who are we supposed to do? Stand by and let the Soviets turn Afghanistan into yet another satellite, or fund a particularly vicious resistance group

I’m probably about to step in it here but…what choices did we really have in terms of Afghanistan? They weren’t going to give up Al Qaeda and we couldn’t let them stay under Taliban protection so…what?

What alternative was there? Economic sanctions? Like we were already doing? Yeah, not so much.

Taliban providing aid and protection to AQ really did amount to an act of war against the US.

Granted, we fucked up literally everything after the overthrow but still.

 
 

So who are we supposed to do?

Not Karl Rove, certainly.

 
 

Well well well. Off to search for ‘noncupatory’ as the only word I know of that’s close is ‘nuncupatory.” And what do I find? A post about Dafydd ab Huge http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/008683.html

Yeah, pretty much not doing that would’ve been swell.

 
 

It’s hard to pick a military intervention that we haven’t fucked up literally everything after.

I have no idea. I don’t know what our capabilities are/were and I don’t pretend to. Really, isn’t that the kind of thing we used to keep the CIA around for, instead of sending in tens of thousands of National Guard troops?

But of course then there’s the fact that the eeediots who went in weren’t really interested in doing anything but blowing up what little hadn’t been blown up already, declaring “victory” and then moving on to Iraq, “because Afghanistan went so well how difficult could Iraq possibly be?”.

Well, Eisenhower figured it out when he put a stop to Korea. Then we seem to have forgotten about it since. It’s hard to learn from this shit when you have a bunch of fucking chickenhawks and John Wayne wannabe assholes running the government. And a propaganda channel that spends lots of time scaring the living daylights out of its viewers.

 
 

But of course then there’s the fact that the eeediots who went in weren’t really interested in doing anything but blowing up what little hadn’t been blown up already, declaring “victory” and then moving on to Iraq, “because Afghanistan went so well how difficult could Iraq possibly be?”.

The invasion of Afghanistan shouldn’t have happened, but that requires believing that every politician in America who agreed with that would sacrifice their political career.

 
 

We really need a Hippocratic Oath of foreign policy: “First, do no fucking it up”.

 
 

It’s hard to pick a military intervention that we haven’t fucked up literally everything after.

At least since that big one in WWII.

It’s not the whole story, but it probably helps a great deal that during World War Two, we not only supported democracy but did so with a fuckton of economic aid (Marshall Plan) AND the countries we were rebuilding adopted the economic theories that dominated the United States at the time.

Which they still do today. The difference is, back then the American economic consensus was New Deal Keynesianism, so it actually worked. Nowadays, the consensus is still Thatcher/Reagan. The adepts of that shit like to see the non-Western world as a testing ground for their little theories, hence “shock therapy” in Russia, implementing the flat tax in Iraq, etc – and surprise surprise, it’s always a fucking disaster. No idea if we did something similar in Afghanistan, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we had.

More generally, I don’t think the government these days even thinks much about instruments of state power other than the military and intelligence community. Certainly Republican governments don’t. Probably explains a lot of the fuckups.

 
 

Well, Eisenhower figured it out when he put a stop to Korea.

U.S. reluctance to overthrow Prime Minister Mossadegh in 1951, when he was elected, faded 28 months later when Dwight D. Eisenhower was in the White House and John Foster Dulles took the helm at the State Department. “Anglo-American cooperation on that occasion brought down the Iranian prime minister and reinstated a U.S.-backed shah.”

That worked out great for some people, but not most of the planet.

I’m seriously interested in hearing what options short of invasion were available. Because I sure didn’t see any at the time but I’m willing to concede that someone else had clearer vision.

 
 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, apart from doing nothing – which might have worked out better for millions of people around the world! – shooting rockets at them, which had been done before.

Pupienus is objectively anti-linkist.

I don’t think the government these days even thinks much about instruments of state power other than the military and intelligence community.
And of those two, there’s been an effort to degrade the intelligence services and refocus them on internal surveillance.

 
 

Doing nothing is always my first choice and it’s surprising how often it works out.
Wanna get high and make out, the fallback position, is not to be discounted.

Related from Andrew McCarthy:

In his U.N. speech, President Obama declared:

The attacks of the last two weeks are not simply an assault on America. They are also an assault on the very ideals upon which the United Nations was founded — the notion that people can resolve their differences peacefully; that diplomacy can take the place of war; that in an interdependent world, all of us have a stake in working towards greater opportunity and security for our citizens.

Put aside the first two fallacies — people cannot always resolve their differences peacefully; when war is necessary, because what it is fought over is worse, diplomacy is not an effective and just substitute.

The list of things that are worse than war may be short, but I guess I can concede arugula.

In the “Ask the Expert” section, our tax dollars are used to school kiddies on after-school activities like masturbation, oral sex, and “blue waffles” (more commonly known as sexually transmitted diseases).

If she’d bother to read the article about the unfortunate breakfast pastry, she’d find out 1) that Blue Waffles is and has always referred to a specific female condition, and certainly not all STDs, and 2) it’s a mythical disease, not even a real condition.

And just five more minutes of research would have further revealed, 3) the myth started a juvenile internet in-joke, always linking back to the same picture of a rather distressed vulva… if I may say, a female variant of the goatse meme, and 4) that the myth itself is laden with slut-shaming connotations and implications:

Never having heard of this disease (although, I did know “waffle” is slang for vagina), I asked my students to tell me what they knew of the “Blue Waffles.” They answered that it was a sexually transmitted disease that:

* Could only be passed from females to males
* Can develop in a female after “not washing her vagina” enough

So, I may be jumping the gun here but I believe that this is a perfect example of how we as a society take pleasure in objectifying and vilifying women. Meaning, according to teenagers, “Blue Waffles Disease” is the result of an overly sexual (pardon my French) “slut,” who has no respect for herself or others. By googling this, you will be inundated hateful, vile, and harmful comments towards women – and it’s supposed to be funny.

The invasion of Afghanistan shouldn’t have happened, but that requires believing that every politician in America who agreed with that would sacrifice their political career.

The invasion of Afghanistan became inevitable with the advent, in 1996, of the Shanghai Five, which heralded a new, and hitherto unimagined, era of military co-operation between Russia and China, ostensibly to prevent the rise of terrorism in Central Asia. With that, the Great Game was on again, and the idea of the U.S. allowing themselves to be snookered out of the world’s most important geopolitical sphere by the Chinks and the Russkies, well, you can imagine.

So who are we supposed to do? Stand by and let the Soviets turn Afghanistan into yet another satellite, or fund a particularly vicious resistance group that are known to be backwards, oppressive zealots …

Or, perhaps, the U.S. could have forced Pakistan (and to a much lesser extent, Saudi Arabia) to cease funding the Taliban, by the simple expedient of withdrawing all her ‘aid’, while at the same time funding the resistance of Ahmad Shah Massoud who was neither backwards, oppressive, nor a zealot.

Massoud fought the Red Army for ten years, and was hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “the man who won the Cold War”. He then fought the Taliban for five years, famously claiming that as long as he controlled a territory the size of his hat he would never surrender. With the demise of the Taliban, which Massoud told the European Parliament in April 2001 would happen within a year of its Pakstani funding having ceased, he would then have no doubt assumed legitimate political leadership of Afghanistan.

But history had other ideas, and he didn’t. Anyone know why?

 
 

I’m seriously interested in hearing what options short of invasion were available.

On the day after 9/11, Rumsfeld argued against going after Afghanistan – not because of his Ghandian love of peace, but because he wanted to immediately attack Iraq. The rationale he gave was that Iraq had many more suitable targets for us to bomb than Afghanistan did.

 
 

Papyrus on Belgian beer labels makes Smut a sad thing.

Aw, I’ll be glad to make all the bad bottles go away.

 
 

I’m afraid that the US would have had a hard time funding Massoud after 9/11, since Massoud was assassinated by al-Qaeda on September 9.

 
 

Funding dead men is remarkably cheap.

 
 

Those trying to defuse a hateful word by reclaiming it vindicate the haters that use it hatefully?

Does this process by any chance involve magic flying ponies?

That Fluke’s testimony had absolutely nothing to do with empowering “sluts” to mate with everything in sight & everything to do with the efficacy of The Pill in preventing precancerous ovarian cysts is surely central to DeAngellis’ point.

The ongoing spin to avoid the real subject of Fluke’s testimony could power an aircraft carrier. Angry that you’re not getting the medical services that you already paid for? Don’t want others’ religious views dictating what care options you get for your H.I. premium payments? That must be because you’re a slut!

Of course, addressing the subject itself in depth wouldn’t get nearly as many page views, lacking the Google-appeal of having “SLUT” in the post title – & even worse, it would take both intelligence & effort.

Sheesh. What’ll frat boys think of next. I had heard of meth addicts using turkey basters to administer a solution of speed in the form of an enema, but they had valid excuses: used-up veins and noses.

WRT ethanol enemas, my mother told me a story (30-40 years ago) about some Med School students and a party. Seems they’d been invited to a party, but some necessary part of their education would ensure they’d be late. Knowing how deadly dull it is to be the sober person at a party where everyone else is drunk, and knowing just enough to be dangerous, they gave themselves ethanol enemas right before jumping into a cab to the party. By the time they got there, they’d passed out. I assume they did not die of alcohol poisoning, or Mom would’ve mentioned it.

“Buttchugger” is a word that deserves a long life. Mind you I have a thing for assonance.

 
 

it is core political speech,” expressing a “pro-Israel perspective on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict” and implicitly calling “for a pro-Israel U.S. foreign policy with regard to that conflict.”

Oh, so, yeah, the finely nuanced political argument involved in calling 1 billion plus people “savages” is EXACTLY the kind of thing the Founders had in mind. Obviously.

 
 

Telling them to wear seat belts only encourages them to drive places!

It also encourages them to crash their cars! WHY NOT, as long as there’s safety devices there to ensure you don’t get hurt? IRRESPONSIBILITY!!!

 
 

Crazy thought: Obama should strongly denounce boxwine enemas just to see how how Romney will manage to endorse it. That is all.

 
 

Cars should be designed to blow up if driven past the speed limit. This will encourage more responsible driving.

Saw it. Loved it. Recommended it to friends. Joe’s going have a flask on his show before Election Day.

However, there seems to be a split on why Romney interrupted: was it because he was trying to charge up the base for the ticket, or was he a wee bit jealous that the people were chanting Ryan’s name and not his?

Ten years ago there was some suggesting that Colin Powell could be the first black president. Bob Rivers wrote a parody song at the time to the tune of Paint It Black. Here’s a slightly updated version of A President Who’s Black:

We need a leader who will get us back on track
Maybe it’s time we had a president who’s black

I seen him on TV dressed up in his politician clothes
I heard his running mate might just be James Earl Jones

His name is Obama and he happens to be black
The latest polls say he’s the leader of the pack

Some folks used to close their minds they say there ain’t no way
But the times they change, who knows our next one could be gay

 
 

Absitively Rmoney was miffed. I live the we said “that’s enough” when no one was chanting his name.

I believe to the soul you’re the devil and now I know

A boxwine enema review:

Endowed, jaunty yet funky with every part smelling and tasting provocative, flamboyant and blooming. Its gorgeous, vaunting style is burning, mantling and amorous with an extravagant softness that is grandiose, exotic and purse-lipped. There is an edginess, sophistication and dominating air that questions whether your rectum has the true aptitude to handle the complete clutch of this much worldliness. The body is chasmal, bounteous and a little drippy. You will never find the true heart of this scandalous wine so just enjoy your x-rated time together. Be aware you will be left lauding, lost, and leaking when you awake.

Only slightly altered from an actual wine review.

 
 

See, OBS, that’s the way you chase off the commentariat.

I wasn’t chased off, I was just searching for “pompous wine reviews” — I’ve been known to wax a bit profound about certain beers, but by jeebus’s buttwine-bong, those wine people are crazy!

 
 

Any scheme to GET DRUNK FASTER! puzzles me. I never have trouble getting drunk fast enough, and I enjoy the process too much to take shortcuts. Is half an hour too slow? I don’t get it. What does one gain by throwing away all control — a high BAC? You can get that one drink at a time.

Oh, and American Frat Boys got nuthin’ on Kiwi Rugby Teams.

VULGARIAN NIGHTS
By Mark Abernathy
Reprinted without permission from Penthouse (Australian edition)

There are only two rules for membership of The Southern Cross Vulgarians RFC–“No Trainers” and “No Sippers.” You have to keep this philosophy in mind if you want to play rugby in this team. You’ll have to keep a lot more in mind if you want to party with them.

[skip ahead a bit, brother]

Half an hour later, Abbo approaches again and tells me to prepare for something that no self- respecting journalist should ever have to witness. “Just don’t come too close–they’re cool about photographs, but don’t become a victim of convenience.”

Then Red fills up a jug and drops it down his gob so fast it looks like a trick. He works his stomach muscles in and out and points to Abbo. “Recieveth,” he commands, and the crowd at the table starts cheering, but keeps its distance. Abbo goes down on one knee and seems to be praying. He holds his hands together in front of his chest and tilts his head back, mouth open. Red is in a trance, his stomach heaving in and out at speed. Then he takes a step forward so that he’s just over a metre from the praying press secretary and there’s this awful noise like the toilets on the Achille Lauro, and this tawny stream of vomit flies from Red’s mouth and gracefully arcs a few feet through the air and lands in his team mate’s mouth.

This is pelican drinking. And this is Saturday night, Kiwi style.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

The good citizens of Massachusetts used to refer to Governor Romney as Fifi. Since he had promised in his campaign that he would not raise taxes (he did slightly anyway) he had to make up for it by raising or attempting to raise all kinds of fees. Including a $400 fee if you tested positive for tuberculosis. He also quadrupled the fee for a gun permit, so you’d think he’d be on the NRA’s hit list.

 
 

I’mma invent a combo winch/vibrator/bug stomper/lid opener…

While your idea intrigues me, the usual request for a newsletter, web site, or suchlike will instead be replaced by an offer to help you write any patent application(s) resulting from your work.

(Although your self-produced video “user’s guide” would certainly be valuable in that effort, wink wink nudge nudge,)

He also quadrupled the fee for a gun permit, so you’d think he’d be on the NRA’s hit list.

Silly liberal. Every NRA member knows the GOP is the party of guns, god, guns, family, guns, liberty, guns, freedom, guns, independence, guns, manhood, guns, guns, guns, and more guns. The Democrat Party wants to drain your precious bodily fluids ban your fully-automatic Friend of Freedom. Evidence to the contrary is doubleplus notreal:

The administration of George H.W. Bush saw the initial push for a ban on assault weapons. President Bill Clinton signed the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban into law, while President George W. Bush drew criticism from advocates of both gun rights and gun control when he announced he would sign a renewal of the AWB in 2004 but didn’t push Congress to authorize the renewal. President Obama’s administration has witnessed renewed calls for a ban on assault weapons, though they have gone largely unheeded.

 
 

I dunno, maybe it’s me. Lately there’s a lot of people making stupid remarks and then claiming they were joking. Either I’m getting slower or these people are just really bad at telling jokes.

Or something.

 
 

There’s a fratboy who’s sure, all that boxwine is gold

With a tube he can get what he came for,

Quote from a relative:

Yup two of my friends did this with tampons on a beach in san diego. Hooray for higher education. Sticking tampons full of vodka up your butt actually makes sense as the culmination of an undergraduate career.

One’s in AA now and the other is probably dead, not really sure.

 
 

None! Frat boys don’t do acid, you fucking hippy!

They do at Lambda Sigma Delta!

Depends on your major. The philosophy students I’ve known would probably go more for butt-absinthe.

 
 

I see a marketing opportunity here. A butt-chug delivery system. It could very well just be tampons or surgical tubing, but with fancier packaging and re-labeling you could probably triple the price on them.

 
 

Regardless of what frats do in particular, I thought I might get points for having done something reckless and stupid. Then again, I was fine the next day (or was I?) and didn’t end up hospitalized.

From tsad’s link:

“Sorry my friend, but there’s no time to snore. An out of touch millionaire has just declared war. On schools, the environment, unions, fair pay. We’re all on our own if Romney has his way. And he’s against safety nets. If you fall, tough luck. So I strongly suggest that you wake the fuck up,”

(note, I put the proper word in there, the WSJ is too upstanding to use such a horrible word. It might offend all their bigoted, hateful, warmongering readers. Or something.)

 
 

You can still get Tab?

What would we do without teh wackypedia:

After the introduction of Diet Coke in 1982, it quickly replaced Tab as the Coca-Cola Company’s most popular diet cola. However, Tab is still available in some areas. Typically, it is now usually found in supermarkets and convenience stores in 12-ounce cans, by 12-pack or 6-pack. It is also available in some places in two-liter bottles.

You learn something new every day. Often that learning is not very useful.

Especially since being seen with a TAB in your dickbeater is “so retro, bro” and totally hipsterville. But there is an element of awesomeness to being an older hipster who can truthfully claim that he/she liked TAB way back before it was cool to like TAB.

One of our docs, the only person here who’s older than I am, still drinks that stuff. Trust me — there’s absolutely NOTHING hipster about him. Or hip either, for that matter. There’s always a 12-pack of cans of Tab in the fridge in the break room… [shudder]

Looking at the conservative comments at the WSJ/Samuel L. Jackson piece (not that they’re unusually bad) …

Open commenting at news sites has gotta be hurting the conservative movement. Setting aside partisan differences, one side is burdened with a disproportionate number of cretins. If I were a smart Republican, I’d be dispirited. It’s obviously a movement of gimps, not Galts.

 
 

Jeff Jacoby:

Millions of voters believed him. They took to heart his vow to transfigure American public life. They looked forward to the uplifting leadership he promised. What they got instead was the most polarizing and divisive presidency in modern times.

In what must have been an editorial mistake the number “47” appears nowhere in the column.

 
 

Not as good as the SamJax one, but still worth a “tee-hee”.

 
 

The totally non-partisan 40 days to save America from the blah dude: All around us, we see economic decline, immorality, corruption, growing secular humanism and attacks on religious liberty.

There was a Moxie festival in Maine some time this summer before I gave up listening to the Red Sox, and the announcers were talking around the promo spots about drinking Moxie mixed with milk growing up. One game they talked about how disgusting it was, the very next game they were talking about how much they’d liked it. Obviously the Moxia had gotten to them in between.

Careful, there… Early on she flat out tells us that whatever it is that she’s smoking/drinking/shooting/buttchugging leads to “a jumble of thoughts.” Getting hammered is one thing, but voluntarily getting Republican stoopid is something completely different.

There was a Moxie festival in Maine some time this summer before I gave up listening to the Red Sox

First weekend in July, Lisbon Falls… I’ve never had a chance to attend it, but I did have a good long talk with the world-renowned Moxie Ambassador, who owns the Kennebec Fruit Store (he sells more Moxie than fruit these days). Damn, I should grab a truckload of the stuff and sell it in Williamsburg to make a killing.

Moxie’s just not the same since they took that accusatory, Mitt Romney lookin’ motherfucker off the can.

 
 

Among the latest in the “poll sample truthers” reverberations:

The Democrats want to convince [these anti-Obama voters] falsely that Romney will lose to discourage them from voting. So they lobby the pollsters to weight their surveys to emulate the 2008 Democrat-heavy models. They are lobbying them now to affect early voting. IVR [Interactive Voice Response] polls are heavily weighted. You can weight to whatever result you want.

So, they’re clearly setting up for a Romney loss now. On November 7, when the Smiler has officially lost, the narrative will not be “gee, maybe we should tone down our bigoted zealotry a bit.” No, it will be “the liberal media conspiracy deceived the undecideds into breaking for Obama and the conservatives into staying home, using their biased polling numbers.” And peak wingnut will move further to the right…

 
 

Jeff Jacoby:
Millions of voters believed him.

When the 47% video came out, I was thinking “Ha! That will make it hard for any rightwing hack with a vestigial sense of shame, decency or self-respect to go on complaining about Obama’s ‘divisiveness’.”
My theory still stands.

Butt chug wine, it’s up to you
All I can do I’ve done
Memories won’t go, memories won’t go

Life is fine every time,
Thoughts of you leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine, stay close to me
Don’t let me be alone
It’s tearing apart my blue heart

Butt chug wine, you make me feel so fine,
You keep me rockin’ all of the time
Butt chug wine, you make me feel so numb,
I feel a million dollar when you’re just up my bum
Butt chug wine, you make me feel so sad,
Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad
Butt chug wine, you make me feel so fine,
Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline

“My account is overdrawn? Maybe, according to your skewed numbers. Based on my age and education, I should be making 22% more than I do, and if you increase my account total by 22%, I’ll have more than enough to cover that check.”

“The cover article was due last week? Your calendar is skewed. If you apply a Retroactive Procrastination Index of 0.58 to today’s date, you get a date from last week, so I still have another week to finish it.”

“I was speeding? I’m sorry, officer, but your radar gun is skewed. If we reduce the reading by 17%, based on a number I just pulled out of my ass, you’ll find I was only going 54.”

Why don’t you drink behind your nuts?
Chuggin’ in the butt.
Different types who wear a frat shirt, chaps with stripes
And cut away jeans, doing what?
Chuggin’ in the butt.

 
 

When it comes to the poll sample truthers… well, It’s Always Projection.

Republicans, who buy and bribe manufacturers of electronic voting machines… who conduct voter purges… who pass barely-disguised poll taxes as “Voter ID Laws” to disenfranchise democrats… who restrict voting hours and withhold polling equipment in poor and minority precincts… who threaten and browbeat ballot examiners in recounts… who needed the Supreme Court to stop a recount to get their last president into the White House… who intentionally distort quotes and take people out of context for their criticisms… who think one of their biggest heroes is a man who intentionally edited video in order to lie and take down his liberal targets… these are their standard methods, therefore, they CANNOT imagine ANYONE taking any kind of un-influenced sample or letting any data go un-cherrypicked, or not twisting or coloring the facts to fit their worldview.

It’s no wonder they never accept the election of a Democrat as legitimate. Given their whim, they’d never conduct a legitimate poll or take an unbiased sample themselves so naturally they are convinced that the media is doing the same thing.

Like I said, it’s always projection.

An excerpt:

when Kesler begins his book by dismissing those who portray the president as “a third-world daddy’s boy, Alinskyist agitator, deep-cover Muslim or undocumented alien” the reader is relieved to know that “I Am the Change” won’t be another cheap, deflationary takedown.

Instead, it is that rarest of things, a cheap inflationary takedown — a book that so exaggerates the historical significance of this four-year senator from Illinois, who’s been at his new job even less time, that he becomes both Alien and Predator. Granted, there is something about Obama that invites psychological projection, notably by Scandinavians bearing gifts. But Kesler outdoes the Nobel Prize committee by raising the Obama presidency to world-historical significance, constructing a fanciful genealogy of modern liberalism that begins just after the French Revolution in the works of the German philosopher G. W. F. Hegel; passes through Karl Marx and Charles Darwin and Oswald Spengler; and culminates in . . . “The Audacity of Hope” and 2,000-plus pages of technical jargon in the Affordable Care Act.

Uh, thanks? Agreed on the Guinness thing too.

I came up with the haiku instead.

 
 

Way, way OT: On my lunchtime run today I saw a bald eagle.

Flying right above my house.

In town.

I do not remember ever seeing a bald eagle here before, and I’ve lived here my whole life.

I thought that was kinda neat.

 
 

It just isn’t a euphonious phrase.

I say again: ASSONANCE.

Buttchugging away
With my beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world’s a nicer place with my beautiful balloon
I get totally shitfaced my beautiful balloon
I can run the tube straight up my ass and squeeze it dry
And I get high, I get high
Buttchugging away
With my beautiful, my beautiful balloon

 
 

Ahh, one of my favorite Fifth Dimension songs, marred by the steady hand of a true poet. I see what you mean about assonance.

The two “ups” in “Up, Up and Away” are not rendered legato, and the reader of Substance’s version should apply the same principle: “Butt! Chugging away,” etc.

 
 

Chuggin’ in the butt.

thank you for the iced coffee that just came out my nose…

I envy your enema set

Buttchug love it’s drivin’ me mad

Buttchug love it’s drivin’ me mad

From Pupienus’ book-review linkage:
Though all the bad stuff in 20th-century European history derives from Hegel’s idea, according to Kesler, servile Europeans still hold to it.

Sounds like Kesler is riffing on Popper’s “Open Society & its Enemies”.
Now I am as happy as anyone to join the queue and put the boot into Hegel, but post-Popper historians seem to have moved on from this idea that Hegel was the foundational arch-enemy of Freedom. At least Popper had the excuse that when he was writing The Open Society he was exiled in New Zealand, separated from his books, and distracted by the demands of trying to teach philosophy to an uninterested class full of cow-cockies.

 
 

It was probably the Angel of Death.

And I have it on good word that David Hume could outconsume William Freiderich Hegel.

However I suspect it was because Hegel was a buttchugger.

There is no joy in the kingdom of man so great as the joy of seeing bullies and hucksters laid low, and watching people who have arrogantly spent years assuming they were right about the world living to see all those haughty assumptions die before their eyes. Watching them squirm is more fun than watching Romney and Paul Ryan flail away.

I’m gonna wait for election night myself. These buttchuggers aren’t just deluded, they’re also corrupt, dishonest, and mean… it ain’t over yet.

 
 

Oh, joy, speaking of buttchuggers, I see the VDARE troll is back.

 
 

I was in Detroit in the summer of 1967, just as I was there for a week or two every year before and would be for many years following. We always stayed with my mom’s sister out by Nine Mile a half-mile or so west of Gratiot so I didn’t see anything that wasn’t on tv. As I recall the riots were sparked by the all-white police force arresting like a hundred black people at an unlicensed drinking establishment. IIRC, it was a party for some returning Vietnam war vets. One thing I remember clearly was Willie Horton – not that one, the Tigers player – standing on the corner, in his Tigers uniform trying to calm things down. Unsuccessfully, as it turned out but props to him.

While the spark was the police action, the tension had been long been building with an all-white city hall and an almost or nearly all white constabulary.

 
 

Now I have the “Shop steward, shop shop steward” refrain from “Miss Shapiro” going through my mind, but changed to “Butt chugging, butt butt chugging”. You people have ruined 801 for me. I hope you’re satisfied.

I see the VDARE troll is back.
Noticed the other day that Ann Coulter had gone full White Supremacist. I guess she knows what her readers want.

We’ve only just buttchugged
Wine laced with promises
A fist for luck and we’re on our way
We’ve only just buttchugged

Before the reisling runs, we cry
So many roads to choose
We start butt-chugging
And earn the runs
And yes! We’ve just buttchugged

Sharin’ box wine ingested through our butts
Whooshin’ the wines along their way
Tubin’ shit ov-au jus le deux anus
Chuggin’ together day to day …

I have some skill with words, but I have trouble with paragraphs. I blame acid. Seriously. What’s the main idea? I just find associations and relationships, on and on like a kaleidoscope. That’s not all due to acid, but the acid didn’t help one bit.

Well I never kept a bottle past sunset,
It always burned a hole in my pants.
Never made me feel less than crappy,

Baby, baby keep me happy.

One might argue for different methods in the platform to address the needs of the poor, to feed the hungry and to solve the challenges of immigration, but these are prudential judgments about the most effective means of achieving morally desirable ends, not intrinsic evils.

Of course not, abandoning 47% of the American public as useless parasites and making things miserable enough for immigrants that they “self-deport” isn’t intrinsically evil.

sarah silverman’s voter ID video is really funny.

I thought it was good. Not a big Sarah Silverman fan. It catches the viewer’s attention early on (“they want to fuck you in the ass”) in a way that seems self-indulgent. The metaphor is apt — voter suppression efforts will fuck you over pretty good — but a swath of the people she’s trying to help might be jarred. I see no problem in the “yellow discharge” joke, contra some viewers … Sarah being Sarah is not important to me, compared to the election. But anyhow, I’m glad she did the video, and it’s well-done.

 
 

omg, guys…this is totally rich…and hypocrital…and full of it’s always projection! from time to time i’ve regaled y’all to the ramblings of our local paper’s insane and chief obama hater…many letters to the editor have been written regarding his continual printing of chain emails from his buddies…the latest being that snopes is full of shite and they are lefties funded by soros…here’s his response (sorry it’s long, but oh my it’s worth it (but you may want to wear a neck brace because your head WILL snap back and forth a few times)):

We’d like to clarify ourselves to our readers as to what this column is all about. Reason why is tat as evident by some letters to the editors of late…..namely XXXXXX and XXXXXX, both long-time friends of Hooterville…. we have been accused of using non-factual material from readers. Let it be known that many of the articles we have run have been submitted to us by readers we know and who we feel are of high integrity, and we run them out of courtesy to the person(s) submitting. Most of the material is the opinion of the submitter. We have been criticized that we should check out the opion-material is factual….both GXXX and BXXX giving us organizations “they say” are the “real true” checkers of the facts, such as SNOPES and the latest being one called FactCheck.ORG. And who is to say those “fact checkers” are so almighty honest? We asked BXXX if he knew for a fact that material from either organization was TRUE. We never got an answer! For example, the organization called SNOPES has for many moons been “considered” as THE SOURCE BEYOND ANY DOUBT OF HONEST-TO-GOODNESS FACT! Now it’s been “proven” by some group….factual or not….that Snopes has not always been FACTUAL. So…we ask…who is one to believe?? Just last week, BXXXX, at our request, for which we exxtend thanks, submitted to us yet another “fact-checking” froup, called FactCheck.org. We again asked BXXX if he could PROVE to us that they were not just as “un-trustworthy” as the great SNOPES! His reply was that “because SNOPES is only run by two people, a mand and wife, whereas FactCheck has a large staff of 19 highly regarded persons, the odds are they would be more accurate.” Sw, we asked of BXXX, “are we to think that the larger staff can be more trusted just because of their size??” If so, to that reasoning, we say HOG-WASH! We know a newspaper, in its news columns, should be certain that facts are true. But, by the very title of our columns, it is not necessarily meant to be only news….it’s full of “ODDS AND ENDS,” which we have always tried to keep entertaining and enlightening, and RESPECTFUL of readers who wish we publish their copy that they (in our opinion and knowledge of the reader’s integrity )merely wish to share with our readers. As in all opinion columns, som readers may agree, some may not…which is their right…but we respect their right under the First Amendment of our Constitution, that they are entitled to freedom of speech and press….so long, agin in our opinion, profane language is not used, and if so, we have the right and duty to delete such profanity. We conclude here by saying we never intend to harm or offend anyone in this column. As always, we invite your opinions from one and all, and thank you all for your support in the past, present, and certainly future. God Bless.

in another tid-bit, he again rakes BXXX over the coals regarding “what has been accepted as factual since 2008, that Obama, shortly after elected to office, toured several countries throughout the world…..and all at taxpayer expense, we assume…….apologizing for our nation on various subjects. We couldn’t believe, and still to this day, can’t believe the response from BXXX: “I can’t answer that for I have never seen the facts!” Really???? The President’s “apology action” is pretty much an accepted fact world-wide, in that his action was and has been reported by ever news agency world-wide. It’s obvious to us now that BXXX refuses to believe “it” or anything unless it comes from a “fact” agency that he considers his ONLY TRUE FACT SOURCE. We wonder if he would believe that the recent Colorado Theater massacre actually took place…unless it came from BXXX’s “fact agency that he considers his ONLY TRUE FACT SOURCE.”

what i really find humorous is that later on, he points out that in material given to him by both GXXX and BXXX from FactCheck that ‘the word Koran was incorrectly spelled Quran. True, it could be a typo, but is that FACTUAL??’

jeez? number one, aren’t there many widely accepted spelling of some foreign words regionally? and number two, his entire paper is completely unfactual based on that criteria since one of the games that most readers play every week is ‘find the typos!’

the man is clearly insane and i am sorely, sorely tempted to urge all you sadlies to deluge the offices of the ‘hooterville indigestion’ with letters pointing out that a)chain emails generally are NOT factual and as such, snopes is usually asked to check them out because they fall under the purview of urban legends, which is what they do. and further that b)you cannot claim to be quoting someone when you are clearly not quoting them verbatim and that c)your obtuseness regarding their replies to you do not mean that they suffer the same delusions as you regarding the “facts” and realities that make up your wingnut world.

again, sorry for the length, but bobdammit, i shouldn’t have to suffer these things alone…

also, too…re: catlick bishop and demoncrats…true story that just happened last night:

a portly gentleman and a lady came in to the club last night. he was dressed in black and i thought i caught a glimpse of a clerical collar…when i went over to their table, i saw he was wearing a short sleeved black dress shirt with a white t-shirt underneath…i was all like, ‘oh ha…when you first walked in, i thought you were a minister!’ and he was all like, ‘oh, ha! i am one!’ and then he made a joke about how people always mistake him for johnny cash and i made a joke about how that was going to be my next question for him…so anyhoo, he and the lady had supper and they really sat at the most unfortunate table because we had a couple of potty mouth guys sitting at the bar which is close to that table…anyhoo, the ‘minister’ handled it with aplomb…when they were done and came up to the bar to pay their bill, i asked him where his church was, etc. since we hadn’t seen him before…he said he was father bryan and had three churches in small towns to the southeast of us…i asked him what brought him this way and he said he and the lady (who my dimbulb cohort thought was his wife even though he gave us ‘get out of jail free’ cards that had ‘father bryan’ and his catholic church affiliation on them) had been out deliving bread and breadstuffs to families in need…and by that he meant moms who are working not well paying jobs who have kids and are having an increasinly harder time making ends meet…so we thought this was pretty cool. he was leaving and dimbulb’s husband who hadn’t been paying attention and had a pretty good tune on, called him back and asked what it was he was doing, which father bryan explaned again about the bread and stuff. dimbulb’s husband who is a big dude who drinks, smokes and swears like a sailor but has one of the most generous heart, promptly hands him a hondo…and then i dug in my tip jar and gave him a twenty…he seemed quite surprised and touched. so, we were visiting a bit more and he said that he is really, really worried about the coming election and when he heard rmoney say that in seven years the medicatre program will be gone, it really struck him because his dad has the beginnings of alzheimers and his mom has cancer…even though dimbulb is a republican and completely racist, he and i continued on with our conversation…he was really pretty interesting and his small outreach i found to be awesome…out here in the sticks, we are the first to get cuts in funding for highways, infrastructure and social programs…so, to that catholic bishop, i join n_b in a hearty fuck you you sack of garbage…not all your brethren feel the way you do, so stfu…

 
 

interesting note to lengthy comment on insane newspaper guy…i called up bXXX this morning and told him he had my full support and that the way dumbass took him to task was terrible and that i had been composing my own letter but wanted to be very, very careful with it so as not to piss off any donors…he told me not to because dumbass not only misquoted him, but called him twice…and he said those phone calls were NOT nice at all…and he didn’t want me to receive the same treatment…and he appreciated my call….between last night’s incident and that, my faith in humanity has revived a tish…

Also, too &c: Here’s a small update to the UT buttchugger frat. The kid survived and is now denying buttchugging, but “Investigators didn’t buy it, particularly given injuries to Broughton’s rectum and a bloody mess found in the Pike house restroom.”

You know, the early post-mortems for Romney are pretty hilarious. They all chock it up to him being a bad candidate. He’s probably not the greatest candidate ever, but that’s not his problem. What happened to him is the same thing that’s happening to Tommy Thompson. They all ran primaries against stupid motherfuckers and now they’re stuck all the stupid motherfucking shit they said to make stupid motherfuckers vote for them. Romney is no exception. When you have to crawl in the sewer with rats like Bachmann, Cain, Santorum and Gingrich, you’re going to come out stinking like them.

OK, I’ll stop now.

I really wish this was all happening about 3 days before voting day (yes, I know early voting has started some places). But like I (think) I’ve said before — I will not feel “safe” about this election until I hear rMoney’s reluctant concession speech the night of the election. Or maybe a couple days later the way things are going so ape-shit crazy. I always kinda thought that there would be a real “peak” wingnut. Now? Nope, the crazy is infinite.

 
 

[ot F1 news]

Holy shit! Schumacher is out at Mercedes and will be replaced by Hamilton.

I evidently haven’t been paying attention, ’cause that was a surprise to me.
[/F1]

Carry on.

 
 

I will not feel “safe” about this election until I hear rMoney’s reluctant concession speech the night of the election.

Me either. I’m half thinking that this “woe is us” bullshit all these supergenius columnists are writing is meant to energize the base. They’re already saying that polls are all totally liberal and full of shit, and that BO & MR are actually tied, rather than BO having MR in a tentative arm bar.

 
 

Right now the crazy is being hashed out between LGM and Crooked Timber. It’s a weird bloodbath. In this thread Brad DeLong keeps pointing at an “inspiring” speech by Al Gore that he thinks proves Gore wouldn’t have invaded Iraq, while in the speech itself Gore talks about how you should invade Iraq with international consensus.

 
 

Hey, quick OT question for those of you know about or have experience with this stuff…

I finally broke down and went to the doctor and got treatment for my worsening depression/anxiety. I was prescribed Celexa. Like most anti-depressants it says not to drink while taking it. But since you take it every day, what does that mean? Does that mean I can never have a glass of wine or two when I go out to eat or watch a movie? What?

 
 

Right now the crazy is being hashed out between LGM and Crooked Timber.

Yeah, I saw the LGM threads. I posted a link to this timely article in response to one of them. The author summed up most of my ideas on the whole thing way more coherently than I could.

 
 

Does that mean I can never have a glass of wine or two when I go out to eat or watch a movie? What?

Depends on the drug, and alcohol is a depressant. In my experience I got a little more headachy mixing some SSRIs with alcohol, but not with others, but it’s not like you’re gonna poison yourself unless you buttchug too much.

 
 

I was prescribed Celexa.

No personal experience, but a family friend is a heavy drinker and continued to be while on that drug. He experienced some pretty severe mental side effects (e.g. becoming a violent psychotic) until he quit the drug…

 
 

Things change fast. Reagan was a vapid fringe-right-wing idiot, until he wasn’t.

A big difference is that Reagan did well in the debates because he was a professional performer. Mitt isn’t; those speeches in front of terrified employees whose companies Bain just bought don’t count.

 
 

Thanks, Sub, OBS…sounds like very conservative moderation may be the key.

But I’d love more info from others who’ve taken depression meds.

 
 

VS–

I’m on Sertraline, which is another SSRI like Celexa.

I do drink while I’m on it, and all it has 2 side effects:

1) A bit of depression the day following anymore than about 5 or 6 beers

2) Complete blackouts if I really hit it hard.

If I have a beer with dinner or a couple while I’m watching the game or something, it has no discernable effect.

 
 

Note that all people respond differently, but here is what I recommend.

Stay away from alcohol for the first month or so, then start with one glass of wine and see what it does. Work your way up to 3 or 4, and just see. It isn’t going to do anything really bad (except maybe make you insanely horny, like it does to me…;).

But do give it some time for the drug to level out and your seratonin levels to stabilize.

 
 

I’ve also mixed the Sertraline with quite a few other…um…things. Nothing has proven to be a problem yet.

 
 

But do give it some time for the drug to level out and your seratonin levels to stabilize.

Yes. You’re gonna feel weird for a couple of weeks. Then you may find a more cheerful level of weirdness.

 
 

Yeah, I saw the LGM threads. I posted a link to this timely article in response to one of them. The author summed up most of my ideas on the whole thing way more coherently than I could.

You must have seen that Erik liked that.

 
 

Schumacher is out at Mercedes and will be replaced by Hamilton.

Yeah, not particularly surprising. That move was one of the core rumors of silly season over the last couple of races.

You may not be aware that Lewis tweeted performance graphs as well as other dirty laundry that pretty well hacked off the team. At one point (Monza?) there was speculation that he’d be fired outright.

Good thing he’s an outstanding shoe because otherwise nobody’d have him.

And Schumi is past his sell-by date. It’s too bad but on the other hand he’s earned more money than God over a record long career so I don’t feel all that sorry for him.

I do feel kind of bad for Massa. He’s just never been the same since he got clonked by that spring a couple years ago and he’s going to be out of F1 without ever winning a championship.

 
 

Nope, the crazy is infinite.

Occasionally it self-corrects.

(I wonder what kind of horrible wingnut screeds will be spun from this?)

 
 

Thanks, tsam!. I think a.) giving the drug time to work and b.) going tr moderation route sounds prudent. /

 
 

I finally broke down and went to the doctor and got treatment for my worsening depression/anxiety. I was prescribed Celexa. Like most anti-depressants it says not to drink while taking it. But since you take it every day, what does that mean? Does that mean I can never have a glass of wine or two when I go out to eat or watch a movie? What?

oh, sweetie, i’m with you!!! in my experience, that is what they are hoping for, since the consensus is that depressed/anxious people should not be drinking…i take zoloft for depression and fibro related stuff and i drink copiously…and i usually don’t take it if i’ve drank a shit ton, it’s late and i have to get to work in the morning, because i will be GROGGY…but my pharmacists laffs at me because i worry about drinking and taking it and not waking up ever…anyhoo, hubbkf is and has at various other times been on more potent stuff for depression/anxiety…he can drink NOW on it, but when he was building up his tolerance for it, holy shit was he a freaking mad man on it…upshot, a glass of wine or two will not make you freak the fuck out, but you might want to give yourself some time before you hit the hard stuff…and then remember my two mottos: everything in moderation and safety first! and also, always have a good base before you hit the hooch…imma hook up with you on your blahg so we can have a chat…

 
 

i see that since i was interrupted in the midst of my last comment that others have gotten there before me 🙂

But do give it some time for the drug to level out and your seratonin levels to stabilize.

Yes. You’re gonna feel weird for a couple of weeks. Then you may find a more cheerful level of weirdness.

so true…also, i’ve tried just about every depression drug out there and none of them worked without side effects i was NOT willing to live with re: the opposite of tsams drug induced insane horniness…the zoloft works wonders for me with really no side effects…

 
 

Also I have no experience of it VS but I reckon easing into it would be the key.

 
 

Oh, thank you, bbkf! The idea of cutting back–even significantly–didn’t bother me…but never ever being to kick back with a nightcap or two made me, well, DEPRESSED.

right? that’s part of the reason i didn’t stick with lyrica for the fibromyalgia…cuz, sometimes a girl just has to get her drink on!

But since you take it every day, what does that mean? Does that mean I can never have a glass of wine or two when I go out to eat or watch a movie? What?

I was on Celexa while sober, with an occasional binge toward the tail end of the prescription. I could not get a straight answer from my psychiatrist about the “do not drink” business. Pissed me off, that.

 
 

AK – the cover photograph is downtown Brooklyn. Oops.

 
 

Well it’s a big world ya know

 
 

Thanks for weighing in everybody. I feel loads better.

 
tsam is not a sexist, he just really loves sammiches and has no tact
 

There’s nothing to be scared of. After about a month or so, you feel pretty much same, with far less of the negativity that depression is giving you. For me, it came out in inappropriate anger and anxiety. I’m doing MUCH better now, and I drink fairly often.

 
 

I’m really happy to hear that, tsam. Awesome!

 
 

There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold
And she’s buttchugging gallons of malbec.

Couldn’t get anywhere with that. Tried this:

Buttchug
You don’t have to pour out the red wine
Those days are over
You don’t have to seal your buttocks all that tight
Buttchug
You don’t have to wear that dress tonight
Better stay in the apartment
You don’t want to wade around in shite.
Buttchug
You don’t have to shit on the bed, right?
Buttchug
You don’t have to shit on the bed, right?

Then I realized there was no hope, so I decided to work on my book instead.

 
 

Also, too, VS — I’ve had a couple massive bouts of depression and didn’t get treated for it. Lasted an average of 18 extra months, I suspect, because I was too much of a man to deal with it.

Good on your for being proactive.

 
 

I decided to work on my book instead.

Yeah, quit fucking around on the innertoobs and get ta writin’ ya bastid.

 
 

You must have seen that Erik liked that.

Yeah, and nobody even noticed when I linked to it. I tried commenting again but it’s not working. I think Loomis doesn’t like me. Oh well, no big loss.

 
 

VS -tsam is right; keep off alcohol for a while, then slowly get back to it and see how it affects you. I’ve been on SSRIs and SSNRIs for ages and while my ETOH intake is like one glass of wine with dinner and a beer every three months or so, I’ve never noticed any drawbacks. YMMV, though.

And I got fired last month for being a horrible nasty rude pharmacy tech, so what the fuck do I know.

 
 

From Nym’s link:

A history of mental illness, the loss of a dear uncle, and a growing fear of Obama winning a second term in the White House took its toll on the mind of Mr Peterson, a wealthy defense contractor, the friend said.

Mr Peterson was a defense contractor and Mrs Peterson worked at Blackbird Technologies, a company that specializes in defense, law enforcement and intelligence work.

The right-wing nuts will turn this into a ridiculous conspiracy in 3… 2…..

Any odds on who will be first? Glenn Beck? Malkin? Hoft?

 
 

Oh jeebus’ butt bong, I hadn’t gotten to this part:

Explaining his increasingly erratic behavior, she said: ‘He said he wanted to expose something at work. He also got the impression at work, that if they didn’t vote for Obama and get him elected, they would lose their jobs,’

‘When Al was here last time, he was pretty worked up,’ Maggie said. ‘They were very well off people and they saved a lot of money. He couldn’t understand how the government could be so irresponsible and he thought it would be on the backs of his boys.’

So yeah, that little “expose something at work” thing will definitely make it to Beck’s chalkboard.

But what really gets me is that the guy was a fucking defense contractor and he was complaining about government irresponsibility?

Irony’s rotting corpse is really starting to stink up the place.

 
 

Get the dang gubmit outa ma defense contracting bidness!

 
 

“Government irresponsibility” in this instance means not starting enough goddam wars.

“How’m I supposed to move these goddam flamethrowers with this goddam Kenyan peace freak in there for another four goddam years? AARRGGHHHH…….”

 
 

very conservative moderation may be the key

What do you think this drug is going to turn you into? An American Thinker columnist?

 
 

You all are aware that this guy murdered his poor wife and kids before “self-correcting” nearly three years ago, right?

If the wingnutosphere was going to make a trope out of it, you’d have heard of it before now.

PUBLISHED: 20:51 EST, 27 September 2012 | UPDATED: 09:49 EST, 28 September 2012

Albert Peterson shot dead his wife and two sons hours after going to church because he dreaded the thought of Obama winning the election, a family friend has revealed.

Albert, 57, Kathleen, 52, Matthew, 16, and Christopher, 13, were found Tuesday just after noon inside their home in Herndon, Virgina. Co-workers reported to police that they were concerned that Mr and Mrs Peterson had not reported to work for the past two days.

Where do you get it happened 3 years ago? One of the photos is indicated as being from January 2010…

 
 

Pere Ubu –

That sucks. Any prospects?

 
 

Holy shit! Schumacher is out at Mercedes and will be replaced by Hamilton.

They (McLaren) already announced a deal with Segio Perez (which surprised me – I figured Paul DiResta for the seat) earlier or maybe even yesterday.

At one point (Monza?) there was speculation that he’d be fired outright

Yeah, but McLaren reportedly matched the $100M deal from Mercedes to keep him. :-/

I do feel kind of bad for Massa. He’s just never been the same since he got clonked by that spring a couple years ago and he’s going to be out of F1 without ever winning a championship.

And he was SO CLOSE!

 
 

Albert, 57, Kathleen, 52, Matthew, 16, and Christopher, 13, were found Tuesday just after noon inside their home in Herndon, Virgina.

4 down, 27,999, 996 to go!

 
 

Yeah, the wingnut murder/suicide thing just happened. Here’s another article about it in the WaPoop.

 
 

I see news of the hijinx at the UT PKA house has reached here. To be honest, I was relieved when I learned the details – from the headline I was afraid that the boys had started drinking Blackwater-style.

“ATM is no way to go through life, son”

 
 

“He said he wanted to expose something at work. He also got the impression at work, that if they didn’t vote for Obama and get him elected, they would lose their jobs”

I bet that this impression will be taken very seriously by the Right. There will be “research” into whether defense contractors are being pressured by the administration to influence their workers’ votes. These lemons (textbook paranoia inflamed by the Right) can be made into lemonade (a new anti-Obama conspiracy theory with a lurid hook). This gambit will require studiously ignoring whether Albert Peterson was merely imagining the “vote (d) or you’re fired” element …

But how easy will it be to depict this element as a credible thread in an otherwise delusional tapestry? Ah, but the tapestry is woven of views and fears that wingnuts commonly hold, and state freely. From a wingnut perspective, then, Peterson’s error was to kill himself and his family, nothing more. To make a case that his political fears were delusional is to indict movement conservatism as paranoid, divorced from reality, etc.

 
 

Nobody could’ve predicted airing car chases live on the “news” could possibly end badly in any way.

 
 

Yeah, but McLaren reportedly matched the $100M deal from Mercedes to keep him. :-/

Jeez, I’ll drive for them for free!

Oh, wait, they want somebody good

 
 

Jeez, I’ll drive for them for free!

I won’t do it for free but I’d certainly do it for a million dollars a race.

 
 

N_B – no worries, the bastards who fired me undoubtedly will earn proper karma and I have a new job as we speak, so it’s not as bad as it might be.

Though I am shopping now at Wal-Mart instead of my former employers, and if you knew how I feel about Wal-Mart you’d know exactly how much contempt that expresses for a certain swinish Southern grocery store chain.

 
 

I suspect I know how you feel about Walmart. As far as the bastards go, have you considered aerial spraying of Agent Orange?

 
 

Where do you get it happened 3 years ago? One of the photos is indicated as being from January 2010…

Yep. That’s where I got it.

Gone: Albert Peterson, left, shot dead his wife Kathleen, right, and two sons hours after going to church. The couple is pictured on January 4, 2010.

On first scan, I parsed the caption as indicating the picture being taken hours before their deaths.

I really feel for those kids… they look so happy in those photos.

I’d prefer a Predator drone strike on the Home Office, but the Pentagon keeps refusing my debit card as payment.

 
 

I finally broke down and went to the doctor and got treatment for my worsening depression/anxiety.

Good luck, kiddo. I’m one of those freaks who is preternaturally even-keeled (I chalk a lot of it up to liking my job, and being able to blow off steam periodically through fighting) and I have a lot of empathy for people who suffer from depression.

N_B – no worries, the bastards who fired me undoubtedly will earn proper karma and I have a new job as we speak, so it’s not as bad as it might be.

Good to hear this. I sometimes worry about people.

A few more years and they’ll be advertising with late-noght informercials. “Call 900-Rent-Drone” NOW!”

We’d take a 3-ship of bombers, two of them carrying 51 750-pound bombs each and the third carrying 51 1000-pound cluster bombs. All that would go into a roughly one square mile “box” – basically turning a square mile of the planet into a waffle.

Sure, drones are “surgically” precise, but sometimes a scalpel isn’t the best tool for the job. Sometimes you need a big freakin’ sledgehammer.

No wait, you’re serious. Let me laugh louder. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

(It probably can, but it requires a Tuesday during a full moon in an El Nino cycle)

 
 

This is probably not the right thread to mention ‘semicolons’, but you need one after the unicode number.

 
 

What I really, really would like is a couple of those DU kinetic rod things that they drop from orbit. That’d wipe the smile off their faces.

Invariably, according to the T.S.A., travelers at airports with guns in their carry-on bags say they simply forgot they had them.

What about Orlando, the gender-bending hero/heroine from Virginia Woolf’s novel of the same name?

those hands kind of remind me of this incident where a family member went in for what they thought was appendicitis and the doc ended up taking out most of her small intestine for a bit of a massage before putting it back in. seemed a bit dodgy at the time (kind of like “lets go in there dr stein style!”)

 
 

To a sufficiently determined omnivore, *anything* is “pre-poop material”.
More colon facts here.

 
 

Am I a bad person for imagining that message in 1930s Fraktur typeface?

No. That shit could have come straight out of a treatise on Manifest Destiny as well.

 
 

There is a web site devoted to jenkem.

I’m not sure whether to be impressed or frightened.

Of course, that quandary describes 90% of the Intertubes.

 
 

<i.No. That shit could have come straight out of a treatise on Manifest Destiny as well.

The source was Ayn Rand’s apologia for genocide, was it not?

 
 

Checked. OK. Pam Gellar says it’s a quote from Ayn Rand, FWIW. Of course these sociopathic genocide apologists all run together in my mind. Anyway, she is literally citing a rationale for extermination as a reason for backing Israel’s government’s policies.

 
 

I don’t understand how these Ayn Rand enthusiasts can also be nationalists of any kind. Oh, I’m sure there’s some Objectivist rationale that I don’t care to hear. Probably makes as much sense as Paul Ryan being Catholic, too.

 
 

I think Objectivism is more about nativism than nationalism, but I’m sure there’s something about how non-Slavic Europeans have all the culture and wisdom and all the altruist collectivist parasite races stole everything the know from the white Europeans and blah blah argle bargle. Probably makes more sense in the original Austrian.

 
 

“everything THEY know”, dammit.

Cheap goddamn Mittens outsourced laptop keyboard.

 
 

I found a jenkem group on Facebook, which made me think two things:

1.) I don’t want to live anymore*

2.) Now we know where all Young Republicans hang out

*kidding

 
 

Ayn Rand’s life coincided with the Cold War, and because she was anti-communist, I’d say her radicalism was treated as harmless, as little more than a spirited defense of capitalism. But this is the sort of anti-nationalist thinking I associate with Objectivism. It can’t be squared with our conservatives’ jingoism or their stance on Israel. It can be read as offering a fig leaf of support for the U.S. insomuch as that nation embodies freedom as they see it. Needless to say, in a leftist, anti-nationalist views this strong would be considered threatening.

 
 

Has Pam Gellar always been a Randian or is this a recent acquisition to her portfolio of crazy?
The convergence between Objectivism and “religious state with a strong collectivist tradition” is not an obvious one but whatev.

 
 

Was that quote from Rand’s infamous West Point “fuck the indigenes” speech?

 
 

Apparently not. I have somehow been misinformed, or something.

 
 

well, thats not the whole job of the colon but I’ll cut some slack cause the graphic is so full of win.

Well, I dunno much about Gellar, but naming your blog “Atlas Shrugs” is a pretty Randian thing to do.

“In 2010, there were 270 kibbutzim in Israel. Their factories and farms account for 9% of Israel’s industrial output, worth US $8 billion, and 40% of its agricultural output, worth over $1.7 billion.[2]”–Wikipedia, which goes on to describe quite a bit of privatization and change in what “began as utopian communities, a combination of socialism and Zionism.” But yeah, seems like Israel was and is strongly collectivist.

 
 

Ah, it was in the post-rant Q&A, per this poker site(?) but the chance of my (or anyone) listening to 26:59 of that witch talking to cadets is zero. Maybe Geller is paraphrasing.

 
 

But yeah, seems like Israel was and is strongly collectivist.
Maybe, maybe not.

 
 

My one funny story from Tel Aviv –

The hotel we lay over at had a young female security guard posted in front of the hotel. She didn’t speak much English, but I gathered she had been in the IDF at one point.

Later that evening, I’m in the lobby listening to a very loud, rude American (sounded like he was from New York) who’s yelling at the desk clerk “Hey! I need to get a cab out here so we can go to dinner! I asked the girl out front and she looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language.”

As I’m cringing and trying to figure out how to pass myself off as Canadian, the desk clerk admonished him – “Sir, it IS a foreign language”.

 
 

Imagine how the reviewers would have criticised Gellar if she had been a fictional character. A Randian neo-Nazi Likudnik? Yeah right.

 
 

That was an interesting and pithy article, M. Bouffant. I know very little about Israel. I do know that here in the U.S., Israeli-style socialized medicine and something like what’s left of their communes would be demonized as collectivist– bad enough for a civil war, if the current mood and rhetoric means anything. Not to mention the idea of a Jewish state, which I’d say is collectivist at its core, in the first place because of the nature of Judaism (no objections here), secondly because of how Israel is defined. I don’t object to its degree of collectivism, but to the whole idea of any nation-state with a firm religious or ethnic basis.

 
 

Imagine how the reviewers would have criticised Gellar if she had been a fictional character.

“If”?

 
 

Has Pam Gellar always been a Randian or is this a recent acquisition to her portfolio of crazy?
The convergence between Objectivism and “religious state with a strong collectivist tradition” is not an obvious one but whatev.

There doesn’t have a be a convergence. It’s the same sort of situational ethics that leads a pro-life Xtian to also beat the war drums and support the death penalty. That’s the whole rub with the right wing worldview–when critical thought interferes with their primalistic reaction to anything they don’t understand, they fall back on mysticism and have no problem sleeping at night.

Shorter: Pammy doesn’t have the brainpower to build any sort of logical creed. Occupational hazard for stupid assholes.

 
 

Present for nerdlicious Jack Vance fans– I’m looking at you, Smut Clyde and Pere Ubu.

 
 

but to the whole idea of any nation-state with a firm religious or ethnic basis.

What could possibly go wrong with this?

 
 

Are religions categorized in the same manner as stool? “Firm, well-formed, compact…”

 
 

BBBB–hereby add me to your list of Vance fans. Thanks.

 
 

Also, I sort of view Ayn Rand as the poster child for Mary Shelley’s thesis in Frankenstien.

I never knew… obviously you’re a Sea-Dragon Conqueror type of man.

 
 

Vance fans may already have read all these, but I’ll share anyway.

 
 

I had a long-dormant interest in Jack Vance, then recently bought and greatly enjoyed a Dying Earth compilation. Looking forward to more.

 
 

Also, Mrs. David Frum on butt-tamponing.

I’m not keen on duplicating her findings, but they seem to quash the business nicely … butt-chugging, on the other hand, is all too real, as far as I’m concerned.

 
 

Earlier today I made a fake FaceBook account in order to comment on Charles Pierce’s blog. It worked, for a hot minute– Esquire quickly deleted to post. Strange (I thought), it was unobjectionable, but I admit that my FaceBook name and profile was nonsense, and fresh.

Seeing the deletion made me mad, so I perma-deleted that account, and dug up my old long-inactive one and perma-deleted it too. I really detest Zuckerberg. His public comments have shown me that we don’t see eye-to-eye. I love anonymity on the ‘net, and would at least try to thwart data-gathering. He wants unitary identities, and more billions. The vision is the billions. Unitary web identities has no other real selling point except easy correlation of personal info. Fuck the civility angle.

Everything which has FORM — literally or metaphorically — is like a turd.

 
 

Everything’s made of shit, & we’re all dying.

I’ve long loved Vance. His use of language is so gorgeous… even when he loads up his prose with tons of adjectives, it never bogs down. For sheer reading enjoyment, he’s hard to beat.

 
 

New post up, except not.

 
 

Put me down as “First!” anyway.

 
 

I didn’t see it before you MB!

 
 

New post up now.

 
 

I think Objectivism is more about nativism than nationalism, but I’m sure there’s something about how non-Slavic Europeans have all the culture and wisdom

Turns out that Pam Gellar likes Serbs, at least, on account of them never mass-murdering anyone… And if they did, the victims deserved it by breathing their oxygen and such as.
Genocide apologists and denialists are not my favourite people.

Yes. Only formlessness is unturdlike. That is the origin of the expression “I don’t give a shit,” which is to say, “I cannot find meaning in that which is inchoate.” Things are shitty, or they are unreal to us; meanwhile, our deaths are taking on shapes.
