Incidentally, sorry for light posting on my part lately. I’ve been working on Something Big that’s taken me a while to write, but should hopefully be published on Monday! Will keep y’all posted!

Heh, I had no idea what that was about, but after wasting about half an hour, I am fully up to speed on the latest internet meme. Huzzah! At least it’s a pretty funny one.

I am aware of all of your human internet traditions, but I don’t know who this Ben is, though Righteous Bubba says he’s a plagiarist.

A sonnet:

Ode On Van Der Loon’s Tradixions (with sincere apologies to Milton)

This Interweb with o’ so many memes
its always shifting parlance makes me glad
to see a noob like Vanderleun sad;
unfit to understand its many themes.
A “shorter” concept ain’t that hard to ken
unless your angry, little mind is weak.
Teh kidz these days have learned the techno speak
a language needing brains to comprehend.
Although you feel a sense of moral right,
it’s certain that you can not even start
to understand what decent people feel.
You and your ilk should really start to fight
to find compassion in your shriveled heart
And learn a better, kinder way to deal.

I haven’t written a sonnet since 8th grade, can you tell? (and I guess Meme can be pronounced a bunch of ways.)
Dragon-King Wangchuck said,

June 27, 2008 at 22:10

Here’s the BenDo resignation post from Jim Brady. Suspiciously missing is any admission of wrongdoing on the part of anyone other than Box Turtle Ben. Covering this administration has certainly taught people about the use of passive voice, as this is the closest he gets:

When we hired Domenech, we were not aware of any allegations that he had plagiarized any of his past writings. In any cases where allegations such as these are made, we will continue to investigate those charges thoroughly in order to maintain our journalistic integrity.

Also note that RedAmerica was created to present the views of conservatives in the WashPostOnline. Because Jim Brady thought they weren’t being presented.

I think Brady’s past the point of firing, and well into the Massive Diffuse Thrombotic Microangiopathy stage.

Already that much less at least but at what cost. Soon to be foreseen save unforeseen two black blanks. Fit ventholes of the soul that jakes. Here reappearance of the skylights opaque to no purpose henceforward. Seeing the black night or better blackness pure and simple that limpid they would shed. Blackness in its might at last.

The eye will return to the scene of its betrayals. On centennial leave from where tears freeze. Free again an instant to shed them scalding. On the blest tears once shed.

Eye-sex
Waits for me
Like a mongrel waits
Downwind on a tight rope leash

Eye-sex
Is a fragile acrobat
Sometimes I’m a novocaine shot
Sometimes I’m an automat

Eye-sex
Is often solo
Sometimes it short circuits then
Sometimes it’s a golden glow

Eye-sex
Is invested in
Suburban photographs
Skyscraper shadows on a carcrash overpass

Eye-sex
Is savage, tender
It wears no future faces
Owns just random gender

Eye-sex
Has a wanting wardrobe
I still explore
Of all the bodies I knew and those I want to know

Eye-sex
Is a spark of electro flesh
Leased from the tick of time
And geared for synchromesh

Eye-sex
Is an image lost in faded films
A neon outline
On a high-rise overspill.

Not possible any longer except as figment. Not endurable. Nothing for it but to close the eye for good and see her. Her and the rest. Close it for good and all and see her to death. Unremittent. In the shack. Over the stones, In the pastures. The haze. At the tomb. And back. And the rest. For good and all. To death. Be shut of it all. On to the next. Next figment. Close it for good this filthy eye of flesh. What forbids? Careful.

The latest crap with Arroyo was pretty funny.

Best part of the article:

But one must give Bush credit when he wore a barong during a visit to the Philippines five years ago. He was also following a family tradition. More than 20 years before, in June 1981, his father, then-Vice President George H.W. Bush arrived in Manila, put on a barong and met with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos.

Then again, that wasn’t exactly a visit many Filipinos remember fondly.

“We stand with the Philippines,” the elder Bush told the dictator. “We love your adherence to democratic principles and democratic processes. We will not leave you in isolation.”

Two decades after Bush the elder’s controversial remarks, it was the younger Bush’s turn to make a statement that left many scratching their heads.

“America is proud of its part in the great story of the Filipino people,” he said.

But it quickly became pretty clear that he didn’t really completely get that story.

For Bush also declared before his Filipino hosts that the United States “liberated the Philippines from colonial rule” — conveniently forgetting that our homeland was once an American colony.

D’oh!

I’m shocked, I tell you - SHOCKED!!1!11!

Oh well … I’m sure by now there’s some kind of rephrasing-software to keep him from having to face the music twice … I just hope it’s one-click. Wouldn’t want to strain his poor overworked porn-hand, after all.

We at Eye Gazing Parties are so sure that you are going to LOVE eye gazing that we are going to give you this ROCK-SOLID GUARANTEE: If you don’t meet at least one amazing person who you’d like to see again, we will give you a 100% refund on your money or get you into 2 subsequent eye gazing parties for free.

Thanks for the link, Blue Buddha. I don’t understand this, though. Once you’ve stared into someone’s eyes and made eye babies, what’s there to talk about? My friend Bob in Seattle had eye babies he didn’t even know about. The girl swore she was wearing contacts, but 9 months later BAM! Opthalamony payments.

OK, I’ll give away the game: it’s a massive Alternet article commemorating the 10 Worst Moments of the Bush Presidency!

If you change the heading slightly, you can reduce the number to two:

1. The day Bush first came to power.
2. 2000-present

Of course, those who are unfamiliar with Bush might need more information.

(Speaking of Bens, this one got a bad review)

Meanwhile, over at W-o’-C, Scott reports that Michael Medved is asking for an exact explanation of what constitutes “gay virginity”.
If only there were a sub-section of the WWW, or a written genre, where he could satisfy his fervid curiosity with all the exhaustive descriptive detail he could possibly ask for.

More groovy times at Pensacola Christian:
One student told of how a group of men and a group of women from the college happened to meet at a McDonald’s last spring. Both groups were returning from the beach (they had gone to separate beaches; men and women are not allowed to be at the beach together). The administration found out, and all 15 students were expelled.

That campus really needs to be overrun by a battalion of highly disciplined Latex Vibro-Commando Sexbots.

OT, but I would like to propose Medved’s Law, as follows:

When posting a bleg for details about the concepts of anal and oral virginity, and what it is like to lose them, one should not begin with the word exactly, for fear that one’s interest should appear prurient or obsessive.

I am sure that gay marriage and gay itself will soon be outlawed in our constutition. It threatens our nation with moral decay and ruin. I am so sick of Christians with Moral Values always being picked on, and we have to give special rights to muslims and fags.

Major points to Smut Clyde for the original Ultravox reference. (They were dead to me after John Foxx left and Midge Ure came in. Was there ever anyone who wanted to be the love child of David Bowie and Brian Eno more than John Foxx?)

Whoa, and a Residents reference too? Dude, GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!!!!!

He’s now “answering” questions from the audience. Obama will be up shortly.

I just looked at the Chris Muir cartoon you liberals referenced. I thought it was very humorous and I don’t think you are aware of the internet traditions of conservative homor, which is much more funnier than the liberal, especially since we always follow economic laws.

The fact is, left is wrong, right is right. We have history on our side, and are aware of the constant failure of the left to take over our lives, which we refute with freedom and USA power. Here in the Heartland, we do not tolerate gay marriage, special rights for minorities, or anti-Bushism. We do not tolerate those who say they are tolerant but do not tolerate Christians, who ARE the majority and DID found this nation despite your atheist revisionism. Get used to it. McCain is better than Obama, but the best would be Bush/Chenery forever or at least until the emergency of terror is over. Liberals can whine away and suck it.
