Did I misunderstand the Siegel joke then?

Kind of a joke on him from me. I love that guy’s work and I used to comment at his site far more than I do now.

Well, that was supposed to be OMG!!! SPREZZATURA SELF-PRAISE and then you notice that the URL was to elsewhere and blah blah. I used to comment at his site a bunch so a small joke from me to him. I comment less at alicublog now because Roy’s so good at saying what needs to be said.

God no. He is a much better writer than I will ever be.

I honoured Roy’s new gig by thumping alicublog into my Bookmarks, a meaningless gesture, since so many fine websites in the Reality-Based Community already have him prominently linked.

Whoa, that V.V.
Their trolls are quite the bunch.
Yet to see a “snipe conservative” so I guess I’ll have to just keep hunting for one … but it sure gets tiresome turning over all those big flat rocks all day long.

Arky H8r:

Apropros of nothing in particular, I started re-reading On Stranger Tides this morning. The last time I read it I was unaware of Johan LoadedHosen’s existence.

I sympathize, especially because I love that book. But please, Arky, it’s JoNaH — not JoHaN. There’s only one Johan — Johan Santana — even if you hate the Mets!

Just curious. Is there a column where a snipe conservative makes fun of the unhinged Bush haters on the nutroot blogs? Is there such a thing as “equal time” here? You tell, me. I don’t do a Village Voice much. After all, I don’t do drugs.

LOL. No, because that would take talent and brains.

Are Righteous Bubba and Roy Edroso the same guy?

God no. He is a much better writer than I will ever be.

Well, live without hope, then, like your forefathers did.

Extra bonus points to Roy for calling Der Lodenpantzentroopers hobbits, although I fear the reference will go over their lowbrowed skulls even if it did get used in the movie. As for the second part of that quote, this time it will be us liberal moonbats searching for vengeance!

Thanks for the great link to the Voice leading to their guide to the right-wing blogosphere, written by none other than Roy who having produced the expressions suburbative, Fratboytarian, and “undeclared, leaning toward George Wallace” has a new fan.

Yeah. If they’re fresh out of nickels.

Ya mean plug nickels?

Oh, and tons of congratulations and felicitations to Roy! Yay, Roy!

Wonderful writing as usual.
I’m confused. Are Righteous Bubba and Roy Edroso the same guy?

Be like the boy?

Precisely. That headline cracked me up.

Nice to see El DoPa repeating the “An MIT study says that American homeless have a massive carbon footprint” bullshit. Good job, genius.

My second try- So, when Jonah-boy refers to the political elites, does he mean “those who were elected to act after due consultation with the constituency, and who can be replaced in a few months if they displease us” or does he mean “those who land great gigs despite no discernible talents and who answer to no one?” Because there’s a difference between earned status and wing nut welfare. How long before these folks start dribbling away?

pedestrian,

quarters, meaning money. that was an unfortunate choice

I believe the canonical coin of choice for plutocratic largesse to the less fortunate is the shiny new dime.

Apropros of nothing in particular, I started re-reading On Stranger Tides this morning. The last time I read it I was unaware of Johan LoadedHosen’s existence. (Oh, for the sweet innocence of five years ago). Now when I visualize Leo Friend he looks like Johan in 18th century finery.

And Ben Hurwood is a cross between Larry Craig and Rev. Phred Felch.

Make it stop!

Jonah’s comparison of Yucca Mountain to Gitmo is only apt if you think that we will lock up in Yucca Mountain substances that are actually NOT radioactive waste, because we paid someone to collect it for us.

A Yucca Mountain full of tin cans and plastic bags that have become radioactive due to contamination with actual radioactive waste, and a Gitmo full of non-terrorists driven mad by torture who now hate the US with the heat of a thousand suns.

Catalog right-wing stupidity? Herculean task.

Perhaps Roy should practice by counting the Hydrogen Atoms in the Universe first?

You know, start small and work your way up to the impossible?
