My Name Is Jonah, I’m Carrying The Weight

Come sit next to me, pour yourself some Dew

The greatest book ever written by Yellow #6-stained fingers has its very own blog!

And it’s a lot better-written than the book!

If I click on it, am I a liberal fascist? Or is the fact that I clicked on it proof that I’m not a liberal fascist?

 
 

Here’s a comment

 
 

Those are some thought-provoking entries.

 
 

I guess the world has turned and left him there, or is that only in dreams? Say it ain’t so!

I’ll stop now.

 
 

Here’s the fourth comment.

 
 

Hah! This book is ranked #4 in the Conservatism category at Amazon.

You know your philosophy has failed, when…

 
 

I couldn’t find any written content there at all, so I guess your saying in your inimitable snarky SadlyNo! way is that nothing from DoughBoy PantloadsFull is better then something…

Or did I miss something?

 
 

Like Johan’s pants, the page takes a very long time to load…

[Wait, wait, wait.]

What’s this? Do my eyes deceive me?

Oh. My God. What a masterpiece of blahging. Note the use of the active voice and extended metaphor to better convey the author’s position on… um … well, I’m too overcome with admiration to continue. I just hope the staff of S,N! is taking notes.

 
 

Here’s a better graphic for his blog and book.

caption: You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor… and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.

 
 

My comment will differ from classical comments, I don’t deny this. Indeed, I don’t even have a point.

 
 

The fact that my comment makes no sense is, indeed, central to my point.

 
 

The analysis on that blog made me ponder the deeper meaning of patronage and cheetohs. I almost picked up my copy of War and Peace to match the terrific art that is Jonah bar Lucianne, one of the finest and most generous-of-heart families America has ever produced.

Just brilliant commentary everywhere out there. Jonah is a an underappreciated genius.

I swear I don’t know how you folks wallow in this crap, but I sure am happy you do. I’d be tying a rope around my neck that was hooked to the garage-door opener while swallowing a bottle of pills and sitting in my running car with the garage door closed and the safety blocked, trying to slash my wrists vertically, not horizontally, which is only proper.

I’m not good at snark, either, because I’m just plain too pissed off about it.

 
 

I believe others have made this comment before, but never with such detail and such care.

 
 

I wonder how long it will take Todd Seavey and Tom Wolf to pen admiring reviews of these deeply serious Pantload ponderings.

 
 

Wolcott at Vanity Fair reviews a review of “Liberal Fascism: From Lincoln to Laugh-In”

He writes:

“There’s no accounting for humor, which is why I find Oshinsky’s praise for Goldberg’s “witty intelligence” and “deliciously amusing” jibes (which makes Goldberg sound like the Lucky Charms leprechaun)….”

 
 

Gotta wonder since when is “NYA-NYA” and “SssPfffft!” witty? Amusing, yes, but not exactly original.

 
 

This comment here? This comment is another comment.

 
 

Publisher- Jonah, can you do something on your site to promote your book?
you could set up a blog, and discuss your book tour events, feedback, etc.
I’m thinking it would be an easy synergy to our efforts to sell your book.

jonah- Sure! (crunch crunch), I’ll have an intern to all the computer stuff and it’ll up in a couple days!(looks at preorders from scaife, dobson etc, giggles)

 
 

That was yet another comment.

 
 

Jesus, I didn’t look at it long enough to see if they even ACCEPTED comments.

The lack of them made me (prematurely?) assume they don’t.

Like I said, it is unhealthy for me to spend too much time on the well-off moron patronage-beneficiaries who run our country.

If they DO accept comments, well, that’s just priceless. I guess all the wingnuts are still hung over from their festival of Baby Jesus. Screen shots are in order.

 
 

To not comment on a no-comment will reveal your Buddha nature.

 
 

I found Doughy’s points in the third posting to be deeply insightful, penetrating, and to the point. SN! pales, in comparison.

 
 

I tried searching the blog’s archives… it said “Forbidden”.

 
 

If there were any substance there, it might be accused of being, hypocritically, a fascist blog.

Better to play it safe.

 
 

I read that blog, and realized that these are deep topics for such a shallow mind as Jonah’s.

 
 

Glorious.

I’m sure they’ll fix it soon enough. Here is a mirror of what it looks like now.

 
 

Building on the unending critical praise of his opus, I suggest a counter-text called “Cannibal Conservativism: The rise of riitualistic anthophagia from Ayn Rand to Idi Amin”

 
 

Mo-o-o-o-om!!! Would you get somebody to write my blog for meeeeeee?

 
 

the RSS stream doesn’t work either – the only things that work are the search, “about the author” and buy links, all of which
drumroll
go offsite (well, of subdomain, anyway).

 
 

Will Jonah become embarrassed?

Nah.

Always getting picked last for teams and being doughy has it’s long-term psychological impacts. But wouldn’t you try to hide them better?

 
 

Oh, and I just love the logo:

Hitlersmileyface, and directly below that that: Jonah Goldberg.

 
 

I am at work and it looks like our IT guys have installed a BS filter on my computer over X-mas…

 
 

Considering how long it took Pantload to shit out the book, you can’t expect him to launch a blog and write an entry all in one year for Gosh sakes.

 
 

“its” I hate when I do that.

Sleepy time. Officially. Unofficially, I’m staying up and eating a pizza and making sure I don’t miss any more Jonah hilarity.

And having another run and Diet. No work until NYE! WOOHOO!

Plus, for the first time in a long time, I have plans for NYE. Four of my best friends piled in a Nissan Sentra of ’79 vintage with 10 days of luggage to drive from Chicago to Pasadena, via Austin (long story) for the last time the Illini made the Rose Bowl. We pioneered the air bag concept on that trip, with all the pillows and blankets in the cabin.

We’re recreating it this year, only using money instead. Hotel rooms, tix for Poi Dog Pondering at a famous old Chicago dive-bar, an excellent dinner; then sleeping in, eating a decadent breakfast, and watching the Illini get creamed again…life is good.

 
 

I’ve got Kitty Pride
and Nightcrawler too
waiting there for me
yes I do, I do…

 
"Oh Stewardess, I Speak 'Nut"
 

Oh good lord, do you mean to tell me this is actually a real book, whose actual cover has a Hitler Smiley Face? I thought you were all having great fun making up this nonsense, trying to see just how ridiculous you could be.

What does it mean when parody of the Thousand Year GOP Majority becomes reality?

Yikes.

 
 

Why do I expect the first commenter to be Bernhard “You don’t look too bad; here’s another” Goetz?

 
 

The fact is, somebody managed to delete all of Jonah’s brilliant, insightful comments.

You Liberal Fascists should all be ashamed of yourselves.

 
 

“its.” I hate when I do that.

Time for bed. But am I going? No way. Can’t miss anymore Jonah the Doughmeister hilarity.

And I still have some rum left.

AND I don’t work until NYE, which night I will be spending doing something for the first time in several years. Four of my best friends and I will be recreating our legendary (for us, certainly) Rose Bowl trip of 1982, packed into a ’79 Nissan Sentra with 10 days of luggage (we were the original air bag experiment, though not many people are aware of this), stopping in Austin, TX on the way (long story) only this time we’re just going to see Poi Dog Pondering at an ancient and famous Chicago dive-bar, eating a decadent breakfast the next morning, and watching the Illini get creamed again in the Rose Bowl, as befits tradition.

It will be great fun.

 
 

Testing. My last two have not displayed.

 
 

Please tell me he’s just kidding.

This is an attempt at irony, right?

 
 

My only comment is to wonder if I allowed to comment by the spam filter yet.

 
 

You know, as much as Christmas sucks, I got a really cool thing this year…you plug a turntable or tape deck into it, and run a line into your sound card, and it records your albums into digital files. And since I have about 900 albums (the legacy of working at the used record store while in grad school), there’s an awful lot of really good music I have that I don’t listen to that often because it’s on LP.

Soon, I will be ripping P-Funk discs, bitches.

 
 

Dang, have the comments gremlins got to me, too?

 
 

Dear S,N! spam filter,

FUCK YOU.

 
 

The third entry is the best by far.

 
 

Just in case it disappears:

A third one

Here’s the third

 
 

Testing squared.

 
 

Pithy, that’s for certain.

 
Worst. President. Ever.
 

I was away when most of the previous postings were made about Jonah’s Magnum Wankus, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question… but here goes anyway:

Did Jonah ever bother to define the actual meaning of word “fascism”, prior to accusing liberals of this sin?

Presumably, this definition would have taken place somewhere around page one or two.

Anyone?

 
 

Did Jonah ever bother to define the actual meaning of word “fascism”, prior to accusing liberals of this sin?

Although I confess that I have not actually read said opus, I’ve gathered that Jonah’s definition of fascist is implied, rather than stated, to wit: A fascist is anything or anyone of which I, Jonah, do not approve.

 
 

My carefully crafted comment vanished. Stoopid hamsters.

 
 

Worst. President.Ever –

Sadly, No!

The Pantload Opus is in its entirety a 400 some odd page attempt to change the definition of “fascism”. Acknowledging the actual meaning of the word would have been counterproductive to the intent.

 
Worst. President. Ever.
 

Thanks, Jennifer… but what I meant was, does Jonah ever suggest his own definition of the word?

 
 

Anyone else notice the 3 crescents on the NRO logo?
I’ve worked it out and all three happen to be pointing to within +/- 3 degrees from Mecca.

 
 

Sadly, Yes!

Jonah’s definition is that basically anyone liberal or with a (D) next to their name is a fascist. Though why 400 plus pages are needed to convey this nonsense is anyone’s guess. I suppose in wingnut circles, the number of pages scrawled determines the quality of the argument. Much as back in 2000, their argument was that empty acres somehow should be a factor in determining who won the presidency.

 
 

Dammit! Stop eating posts, you mother!

 
 

One last try before I give up. Maybe no url will help.

 
 

Holy crap, it worked.
For any others getting janked by the spam filter from hell, try logging out and/or deleting anything in your url box.

 
 

To reconstruct my carefully crafted and callously consumed comment:

Sadly, Yes!

Jonah’s suggested definition of fascism is that it is whatever liberals or anyone with a (D) next to their name believe in. Though why it takes 400 plus pages to pin down what I just laid out in one simple sentence is anyone’s guess. I suppose in wingnut circles, more pages = a serious winning argument. Kind of like how in 2000 they argued that somehow, empty acres should help determine who would be president.

 
 

When I submitted my doctorbal thesis, I accidentally included an entire section that I’d forgotten to add footnotes to (well, really endnotes I guess). My way of reminding myself that the section wasn’t finished was to italicize about six or seven pages, much of which said things like “this transcription factor is activated under these circumstances (INCLUDE REFERENCES HERE)”. Since my advising committee had grown tired of reading it, they approved this version and it was very nearly “published” like that. And by “published”, I mean two copies were nearly made and stuck in the warehouse part of the university library. I’m still glad that never happened.

 
 

No Worst.President.Ever, Jonah’s definition is implied rather than stated, and the implication is that a fascist is anyone with whom Jonah disagrees, philosophically, politically, or economically.

 
 

They also comment who only post filler text.

 
 

My doctorbal thesis almost got published (and by “published” I mean “copied twice and stuck in the back of the library warehouse”) with an entire section italicized because I hadn’t finished putting in the endnotes. The italics were to remind me to do that. Had I known I could just write “HERE IS ONE ARGUMENT” it really would have made things a lot less stressful.

 
Worst. President. Ever.
 

Thanks, Jennifer and Candy, for clarifying,

Such dishonesty was pretty much what I expected,but I was hoping that I would be wrong. Sigh.

 
 

I swear to The Jesus that I thought that was a parody. I guess it’s funnier that it’s not, but still…

 
 

A clearly pernicious threat from the HSA.

So, anyway, I actually have PLANS for NYE, which is a bit of an upset. Four friends plus a newly added wife (of 17 years) are going to recreate our legendary trip to the Rose Bowl the last time Illinios was in it, 1982.

The four of us piled into a ’79 Nissan Sentra with 10 days’ worth of luggage. We were the original airbag experiment, given the blankets and pillows and sleeping material we had to bring.

Anyway, this year, 25 years and one day short of two of the four’s anniversary, we’re going to rent some hotel space in downtown Chicago, eat a wonderful dinner someplace, and go see Poi Dog Pondering at an ancient and famous Chicago venue, The Double Door.

Then we’re going to sleep in, eat a decadent breakfast/brunch, and watch the Illini get creamed again, as befits tradition.

Ain’t life grand?

Oh, also, Jonah Goldberg ought to try working for a living.

 
 

I suppose in wingnut circles, more pages = a serious winning argument.

My theory: Doublewide/Random Crap Publishing Co. paid Johan by the word with a hefty bonus every time he put the words “fascist,” or “fascism” on the same page more than ten times.

Once DWRCP Co coughs up some cash for his blahg, you’ll see some actual content.

“I’m working on a blog which requires me to read a lot about and by bloggers. There’s simply no way I can read all of it, nor do I really need to. But if there are any real experts on bloggers out there — regardless of ideological affiliation — I’d love to ask you a few questions in case I’m missing something.”

 
 

At last, something his whole family can be proud of!

 
Worst. President. Ever.
 

Well, here’s a question for Jonah: what word would be correct to describe an FBI director who wanted to detain 12,000 Americans without charges upon suspicion of “disloyalty”… but was prevented from doing so by Liberal Fascist President Harry Truman?

Would you call that person an “anti-fascist”?

Just for the record, no money was spent on the copy I gave S,N! in any way, shape, or form.

 
 

Bah-bye SN! cretins! I have finally found the Nirvana of blogs!

And, for the record, the appropriate Weezer song would be “Island in the Sun”, Mr. Eebil Librul blogmaster d00d. Bleh!

 
 

*SPIT*

Dishonest literary buggeryfuckery.

Which qualifies as “literary” only in that it’s ink on pages bound between covers, the very existence of which is hard to fathom.

But in my less than educated perspective, it deserves to be ignored, not even mocked. It is nothing but a political screed, dishonesty piled upon falsehood stacked above manipulation. It’s not funny. It will not change a single mind, nor convince even one questing thinker, except to the extent that it makes a few dozen less than committed right wing thugs realize that their entire worldview is constructed wholly out of hot air and pantloads….

mikey

 
 

Oh, and I’d just like to add:

El Scorcho!!

mikey

 
 

mikey, you know I luv yah, but I think you’re missing something on this one. The beauty of Liberal Fascism is that no one, anywhere, (outside Jonah’s most mediocre team first political allies) is taking it the least bit seriously. Even someone as stupid as Chris Matthews won’t deign to pay it any attention.
That Jonah is actually, incredible as it is to say, more mediocre and a worse writer than the malkin thing or Coulter and not even pretend telegenic shouldn’t obscure the fact this is a sign of a small bit of progress. In 2003, 2004, this shit might have been taken seriously. The Overton window is shifting in a happy way, just a little. I’m not saying it’s a sign of anything big or meaningful, but I think it’s cause to smile a little, like the thought of Mark Noonan running against Harry Reid. Read the snippet Wolcott posted from the forthcoming Times Book Review piece, and.. well, someone from here is dragging their feet on it, but going to submit a very negative review to the Guardian Online.

 
 

“does Jonah ever suggest his own definition of the word?”

Yes. Anything which he declares to be conservative is not fascist. Everything else is fascist.

That’s an entirely fair reading of what he’s saying, by the way. Seriously, it’s that bad.

 
 

I’m still trying to figure out whether the Mister who penned this blawg actually likes Weezer or not.
This could either be a grand insult to t3h =w= or a laughably apt comparison, depending on that answer. hmmmmmmm.

 
 

…though either way, WEEZER IS TEH FASCIST because LIEberal young people listen to them!!!!11one!!

I just glanced over your blog Random0, you really need to get a sense of humour.
Unless you are fabulously wealthy and or worked yourself up into the corridors of power, you, like the rest of us, are about to get screwed really hard in the coming great depression. Might as well grab a smile and enjoy it as it goes down.

 
 

Because you can’t give everybody benefits especially when there are space elevators to build and stupid wars that need funding:

U.S. Ruling Backs Benefit Cut at 65 in Retiree Plans

WASHINGTON — The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Wednesday that employers could reduce or eliminate health benefits for retirees when they turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare.

The policy, set forth in a new regulation, allows employers to establish two classes of retirees, with more comprehensive benefits for those under 65 and more limited benefits — or none at all — for those older. (New York Times)

 
 

Lesley,
the ruling actually lets private private pension funds off the hook and transfers the liabilities onto Medicare, which is bankrupt anyway…
I and others have written about this, it’s a multitrillion dollar disaster that nobody talks about. Basically, most pension funds, as well as many college endowments are severely underfunded. The money that was put there from employee contributions and alumni donations respectively has gone to enrich the financiers who manage them via generous fees that are not tied to performance and excessive participation in profits. If you ever happen to be around people who invest, you would often hear the expression “dumb money” and that’s what these funds are.
A well-written book on that is “The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism” by Jack Bogle. We don’t live in an “owner’s society”, nor in a “citizen’s society”, but rather in a “manager’s society”…

 
 

Thanks for the info Krassen. The timing isn’t coincidental, I’m sure. Baby boomers (who account for a majority of the labour force) are being encouraged to continue working and delay retirement. How convenient it will be for employers not to pay them benefits other workers enjoy.

 
 

Oh for the love of fuck, Medicare is not bankrupt. Get a grip, do some reading and stop with the Prophet of D00M routine.

Please keep in mind who is “running” this administration right now and then ask yourself if you’re really surprised by any administrative ruling that benefits large corporations. Could it be that people are still sulking over the less than enthusiastic reception of Bush’s plan to Save Social Security? Could it be that forcing people into Medicare would benefit the companies that own Medicare Advantage plans?

 
 

It’s being reported that the Virgin Ironpants has been killed in a suicide bombing in Pakistan.

 
 

How long before the spawn of Lucianne blegs someone to write a blog post for him?

 
 

Heeeheheheee.
The Corner is selling copies of Liberal Fascism “signed and inscribed” by Jonah himself.

Make that the “long-awaited, critically acclaimed,” and “nervy” Liberal Fascism.

Jonah can get through the autograph part, but the inscription is going to be over his head.

It makes me so sad that I can’t even get a damn short story published in my college literary magazine but Pantload gets paid to screw around. Is that blog real? Jonah is really that lazy?

 
 

Ceci n’est pas un commentaire.

 
 

I think someone mentioned this elsewhere, but James Wolcott has a post about the Pantload Opus:
http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/blogs/wolcott/2007/12/jonah-goldbergs.html

He notes the NYT will review the “book” this Sunday and gives a short excerpt. It’s reviewed by David Oshinsky. I’m not familiar with his name, but this should be fun.

 
 

Haw! Pulitzer-Prize winner David Oshinsky is an actual, what do you call it, historian. He’s written, among other books, A Conspiracy So Immense: The World of Joe McCarthy and American Passages: A History of the United States Since 1863.

 
 

How much you want to bet that after the review is printed, Jonah and the folks at NRO pull the “witty intelligence” and “deliciously amusing” quotes from it for ads and throw the actual review part away?

 
 

???? ?? ???????? ????????????.

 
 

Dan Someone: You seem to be suggesting that Pantload and the NROsians would behave dishonestly.

 
 

Apparently WordPress has no use for the Cyrilic alphabet. (That started out as “This is not a comment.” in Russian.)

 
Arky - Fascitanata
 

MzNicky, surely you know “historian” is French for “fascist.” And Pulitzer Prize winners are all notorious islahomoterrorists.

 
Worst. President. Ever.
 

Shorter Jonah: Although I can’t actually define the word “fascist”, I know one when I see one, and they look amazingly like liberals.

 
 

Ye Ole Professor, promoting the latest edition of the Ye Ole Professor and Ye Ole Dr. Mrs. Professor Show:

It’s sure to make a splash, and it’s already got some left bloggers in a tizzy even though it doesn’t come out until next week. It’s Jonah Goldberg’s new book, Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning. The title comes from H.G. Wells, and the history won’t be news to people who’ve paid attention — which means it will be news to a lot of people — but Goldberg has a lot to say about the “progressive” roots of both socialism and fascism and the way they’re reflected in contemporary politics. (He goes out of his way to make clear, though, that he’s not saying liberals are fascists.)

Gracious emphasis is his.

 
 

Oshinsky says this:

This allows him to dispose of the politics of the 1920s in a single sentence. “After the Great War,” he writes, “the country slowly regained its sanity.” What Goldberg may not know–or is afraid to tell us–is that the 1920s were anything but sane. This was the decade, after all, that contained the largest state-sponsored social experiment in the nation’s history–Prohibition–and it lasted through three Republican administrations before Franklin Roosevelt ended it in 1933. The 1920s also saw the explosive spread of the Ku Klux Klan in the Republican Midwest, a virtual halt to legal immigration under the repressive National Origins Act and an angry grass-roots backlash against the teaching of evolution in public schools.

failing to realize that to Jonah and the other true fascists of his ilk, this type of culture is sanity itself.

Let’s see. Rampant racism and bigotry? Check.

Xenophobia and calls to seal the borders from “others”? Check.
An angry grass-roots backlash against the teaching of evolution in public schools? Check.

Yup, it’s all good as far as they can tell.

 
 

The funniest part of the Amazon link, for me, was what people went on to buy after seeing Goldberg’s book:

12% buy
Gastroanomalies: Questionable Culinary Creations from the Golden Age of American Cookery

2% buy
The Gallery of Regrettable Food

I’m guessing that the instestinal discomfort they felt reminded them to purchase those books about bad cooking?

 
 

counter-coulter: It’s because James Lileks is a fellow wingnut.

 
 

The beauty of Liberal Fascism is that no one, anywhere, (outside Jonah’s most mediocre team first political allies) is taking it the least bit seriously. Even someone as stupid as Chris Matthews won’t deign to pay it any attention.

Perhaps, but I don’t buy it yet. I’ve spent the last six years watching these asshats put ideology ahead of reality every single time.

More likely is that, for every wingnut pundit or talking head who ignores or disses this pathetic tripe there will be ten who willingly put whatever integrity they have in their back pocket in order to join the chorus of raves for this epic blend of scholarship and humor.

Yay Jonah.

I hope Jon Stewart interviews him about the book. Soon. Hey, assholes, PAY THE FUCKING WRITERS.

 
 

More Ye Ole Professor and Ye Ole Dr. Mrs. Professor Show promotion, this time by the Dr. Mrs.

Today, we interview Jonah Goldberg on his controversial new book, Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning. He talks about how people throw the word fascism around without really understanding its meaning, why so many liberals want to turn America into a college campus with free food, shelter and recreation, and why the upcoming election is about collective vs. individual rights.

They left out the piles of Hershey’s chocolates and latex condoms. Did Mussolini like chocolate?

 
 

He talks about how people throw the word fascism around without really understanding its meaning

Yeah, sometimes they even write 400-page books about it without really understanding its meaning.

 
Worst. President. Ever.
 

It just occured to me:

Let’s accept, for three seconds, Jonah’s idiotic concept that the “Mussolini-FDR-Hitler-Stalin Liberal Fascist Mutual Admiration Society” was to blame for WWII…

How could he possibly blame WWI and the Great Depression on Liberal Fascists?

 
Arky - Fascitanata
 

He talks about how people throw the word fascism around without really understanding its meaning

Bwahahaha! [wipes away tears of mirth.]

 
 

He talks about how people throw the word fascism around without really understanding its meaning,

I do want to thank S,N!ers for their ongoing exegesis of Codex Pantload. Breathing in that much stupidity will almost certainly leave these brave souls with terminal Cheetohs-lung.

 
 

Master Goldberg himself:

Todd Seavey Catches My Arrows

Todd Seavey’s getting a taste of what’s been directed at me. His crime? Reviewing my book.

This one’s a doozy. Now Seavey is really, really done with this particular dialogue.

In considering Johah’s seminal work, I’d like to paraphrase a towering fountain of wisdom. I speak, of course, about the movie “Animal House”

“Fat, drunk (with GOP Kool-Aid), and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”

 
 

J–
Well, yes, but those health-conscious fascists, like Mussolini, only appreciate dark chocolate, since it actually has health benefits.

 
 

Golly…

 
 

Well, here’s a question for Jonah: what word would be correct to describe an FBI director who wanted to detain 12,000 Americans without charges upon suspicion of “disloyalty”… but was prevented from doing so by Liberal Fascist President Harry Truman?
