It’s Family Picture time! (Just Saying Hi!)
Title and image from ‘Sadly, Yes’
The brief, glorious transit of “Sadly, Yes,” the evil Sadly, No! doppelganger site commissioned by our right-wing Fundamentalist colleagues at PeoplePolitical.org, is at an end. The site has been yanked from the Internet, leaving only a funny animation to fill the hole in our hearts.
And unfortunately, we forgot to archive it while it was around. No wait, I mean fortunately, we totally remembered to archive every last iteration of the site while it was around. So, in memoriam, and just to share the luv, here’s the text by the bizarro, evil ‘Brad R.’ that goes with the title and image above:
We though we’d pull out some family photos for all of our fans out in the internet land.
Here we are celebrating something or other. I can’t really remember. I was way too busy taking care of the family dog (if you know what I mean). Fluffy and I are very close and he has needs. Later we went shooting off our guns and stuff. It’s alright though. We were only shooting at cans. Mexicans and Africans. It was a real hoot.Posted by Brad R. at 10:46 PM | Comments (3) | TrackBack (0)
It’s amazing how the link from the PP site and the entire S,Y disappeared almost simultaneously. Of course we know there was no coordination between the two so it must have been kismet.
Marantha!
Marantha!
Gesundheit!
Yes, there was certainly no connection between Marie and the site whose existence she announced here before it even went up. Perhaps God does play dice with the universe?
BTW, I caught ol’ Marie ghosting around here earlier, sort of like how she said, just last night, that she was going away and wouldn’t be back.
She yanked it w/o seeing how hitcount would pan out over a month? Is she nuts? I would bet that if she had bothered to update it every so often the adspace she could have sold on it would have been double the value of that on peepo.org.
Well, that’s the biggest irony of all: Since they did the site on the cheap, leaving most of the comments and images hosted on our server…WE GOT THE HITS!
“BTW, I caught ol’ Marie ghosting around here earlier…”
I see her everywhere; I hear her name whispered in the wind as it passes through the trees…
Please, please, please, do whatever you can…just get her back!! I have to find out if she wears the PP-thong!
According to an exploratory Google search, back in the heady ‘Sadly, Yes’ days, ol’ Marie was careful to list herself as ‘single’ in a recent column bio.
Of course that could just mean that her medication for ‘multiple’ disorder was effective that week, so I wouldn’t be buying that ring just yet.
Google search indicates that one of her nom de plume’s may have been Margaret Marie Marsala. There’s a christian-inspirational essay she wrote (although I seriously doubt she came up with it, it looks like one of those inspirational peices that have been passed down over the years) called ‘The Quilt’ that’s all over the web from 2000, as well as some anti-Kerry screeds for christian teen-mags.
There’s also a Novel “Disappearance of Pegeen” that was published under that name in 2000 (amazon), but if it’s the same lass, she must have one hell of a patient editor.
Yosef, I’m sure, has already found all this; still I thought the book was pretty surprising.
Gone?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! L’homage est fini? I refuse to accept it. Never. You MUST get Marie back, no matter the cost. She was the best troll on the internets, and she was OURS, dammit! Gavin, I don’t think I can live with the mere memories of her comments about this bog, where there is no spirit except contempt for God and the USA; the paranoid fantasies, the threats from the false law firm. Oh, who could forget her spelling? Her grammar? Her plagarism? And of course, the piece de resistance, ‘Sadly, Yes!’ Those were heady times indeed. We must find a way to rekindle the magic with our beloved troll. I WANT MARIE JON'(UH!)!!!!!!!
The going theory is that Marie is the daughter of Kerry Marsala and an extremely attractive man with a family history of bipolar disorder.
In fact, if you look at the columns where Kerry mentions her daughter…
Well, it can be established with something close to certainty that Marie Jon did at one time write as Margaret Marie Marsala, Marie Marsala, Marie Jon Marsala, etc. How many wing-nutty Marsala’s are there in one family? I dunno.
I thought PP said that Marie’s family were all demon-rats that had seen the light and joined her, though. Surely she’s not lying about her momma on the internets.
No more MJ? Well I won’t be back either. Until next time.

My mind quickly leaves the thought of those suffering under the Governmental Insurance Program-to my granddaughter, she is on ACCHS. Her mom is a single parent and her daughter has to utilize a system that gives poor care.
???

Ok, ok, I’ll try to think of something.
No more MJ? Well I won’t be back either. Until next time.
Wait, no, don’t…
For God’s sake, why do we have such a hard time keeping trolls around here?
“For God’s sake, why do we have such a hard time keeping trolls around here?”
I think it may have something to do with exposing their plagarism. Maybe if you promised her that we’ll only correct her grammar and punctuation, and never question the originality of her work?
Then again, the apple don’t fall far from the tree…maybe someone should be checking Kerry Marsala’s ‘original work’. (Just kidding, Marie – JUST KIDDING – PLEASE COME BACK!!!).
…I forgot to mention in my earlier post: the cross-dressing….the dog-fucking. GENIUS! Gavin, for the love of God, DO SOMETHING!
What if we go to the guestbook at PP and ask her to please, please come back?
No wait, she’d do the opposite. She’s like that.
What if we go to the guestbook at PP and tell her how much nicer it is since she went away and stopped making us feel bad and guilty all the time?
I TOLD you they were lazy
Some choice passages from a Kerry Marsala essay on parenthood (not that that has/has not anything to do with Marie Jon’) from ‘The American Thinker’ May 02, 2005:
“Children gain knowledge and follow by example. We as adults have been setting pitiful examples.”
“When the leaders of the insane asylum cannot control their own emotions, desires, and bodies, what emotional feeling is left to those who live in the asylum. Have we left our children only angst?” (I’m not sure what this means, but references to the asylum explain a lot).
“Our world depends on our ability to reign in the stupidity and hypocrisies we have been so freely demonstrating…Adults must stop the confusion, our children are sitting in a pool of bewildered insensible muck, and many of our youth, if you look at today?s headlines, are paying the ultimate price for our idiocy.”
Truer words never spoken, Ms. Marsala (Sr.).
I never actually guessed that she was Kerry nor related to Kerry, just that her writing was close. Of course I have another theory, but it might be tinfoil hat territory. I don’t know whether it has any basis in reality, but I’ll just say a few words to insinuate what this might be:
Stanton Carlisle
Mr. Smith
The as yet unclaimed prize from S,N! for their contest…
Maybe if you started a new bog in her honor she might come back: PeopleApolitical.org?
What does “peoplea” mean?
Yosef:
You should trust your intuition more, then. I thought someone else had already done this, too:
Google “Marie Jon Masala” and “Marie Marsala” also “Margaret Marie Marsala” and you get a number of chritian/wingnut essays, sites, etc. Look at the emails, there is one that is common in several of them; also, there is at least one link in an old essay that takes you to PeePo.org (called something else on that site, but takes you to PeePo).
It’s her, baby…it’s her.
Stanton Carlisle
Mr. Smith
The as yet unclaimed prize from S,N! for their contest…
I thought Stanton Carlisle was still publishing? He emails sometimes when he’s about to have a new column out.
I don’t think that Margaret Marie Marsala is the same person as Marie Jon’ or Marie Jon’ Marsala. Marie Jon’ Marsala lists her age as 25 in 2004 and Margaret Marie Marsala’s work is copyrighted in 2000. It seems a bit young to be publishing even for God’s chosen one. Also it doesn’t look like her writing to me.
Well, I haven’t gone to the Rant lately so I don’t know if he is or not.
Greg – maybe they’re sisters or something.
No, he definitely would have emailed. Carlisle isn’t prolific, but he likes to stir things up when he does emit a column.
Sisters? Sounds hot!
I, too, am skeptical about “Margaret Marie Marsala”. She managed to put together a whole novel, and our beloved Marie Jon’??? Well, I’m just skeptical.
As for Marie Marsala and Marie Jon Marsala, I’m pretty sure it’s a lock. The part of the essay that says “I have another site” and takes you to peepo kind of gives it away. (That essay would be “Why John Kerry Doesn’t Get It” or something like that.
“Adults must stop the confusion, our children are sitting in a pool of bewildered insensible muck…”
From Marie?
Isn’t that like Preznit Alfred E. Newman-lookin’, chimp-boy Bush calling someone else dumb?
And, please do NOT bewilder the muck.
She doesn’t look a DAY over 22.
Adults must stop the confusion, our children are sitting in a pool of bewildered insensible muck…”
From Marie?
No, that’s from Kerry Marsala, who may or may not be related to Marie Marsala a.k.a Marie Jon Marsala a.k.a Marie Jon’.
But who cares? Marsala, Jon’, Smith, Jones or Podehertz, I love her no matter what her name or family connections are. She doesn’t need to hide her past from me. I don’t care about HER past; I care about OUR future. Marie! COME BACK!!
wha?- you and I might have to have a duel over Marie.
As I was taking your advice and googling her, I found a lot of Finnish sites that said this:
“Marie-Jon kaksi rakastajaa”
I think it’s a movie or something, but I can’t be sure. Anyone know? Maybe it’s how our Marie got her name.
The animation is actually pretty funny. Just going off of the total byte count, you’d think I only had a ten megabyte drive. I’m pretty sure it’s bigger than that, though.
Have you ever tried googling e-mail addresses? It can be pretty enlightening, for instance I learned that the Marsala girls are into music; especially, the Charlie Daniels Band (Marie), David Bowie (?!?!? Kerry – Wow), and Billy Idol (Kerry).
Also I found this cute little post:
Dear APFN & Calbdro1,
You are falling on deaf ears. We are a group that does not want, nor believe in your Moveon,org type conspiracy Bull Fit. We are patriots. Most all on this list are service personal and born again Christians. We are conservative in our political thoughts even within our Democratic party members. You were removed weeks ago as complaints were coming from our mailing list. Do not send threads to us. We are not interested. We are very familiar with people as your self and such organizations that are self loathing America bashing in content. You have the freedom here in America to feel whatever. We have the freedom not to see this in our mail box. Our Constitution is in place. Our group however is not impressed with your world eye views. Thank you for a continued respect of the sacrifice so many on this list have made for such as yourselves. I’ll take one or two of your points and post it on our Forum Board. That way all can read. You have my word. I’ ll send you the Forum link when it is up. It will be included in our Sunday Newsletter as well. You are to please continue to not send threads to our people.
Sincerely,
Marie J. Marsala

I noticed that both Kerry’s latest column (which is linked to on Peepo) and the current poll on Peepo are both about border security. Wonder if MJ chose that subject for her because of the relations.
Of course the most interesting thing I found looking at that was KLMarsala.com – Kerry’s art website. Seems to be mostly calligraphy on the front page. I didn’t look around too much in there because I wanted to report back.
Yosef –
Pistols at dawn. You’ll know me – I’ll be the one in the PeePo thong with the gun.
Her Father? Perhaps the swanksta? I’ve noticed that they are both fond of turtle necks.
I hadn’t noticed the turtle-neck thing….Kerry H + Swanksta. An unholy union indeed.
“Marie-Jon kaksi rakastajaa”
I think it’s a movie or something, but I can’t be sure. Anyone know? Maybe it’s how our Marie got her name.
I’d officially call this spooky. ‘Kaksi’ means ‘two,’ and ‘rakasta’ means ‘love.’ Inflect it and you get, ‘Marie-Jon has two boyfriends.’
Oooooo! Who might that be?
Well, it’s obviously wha? and I. Haven’t you been reading any of these threads?
Of course, that’s how you translated it. It might have something to do with Marie and Seb – you know, the 2 loves thing might be a euphemism.
Of course it’s you guys. It’s clearly a prophecy!
Of course, that’s how you translated it.
Hey, if someone wants to translate a Finnish word around here, chances are I’m the only idiot who can do it. I wait and wait and wait for these opportunities.
It’s one language that I never learned any words of. I figure I never had to because almost everyone from Finland speaks about 10 different languages, so surely I’ll understand one of them.
I’m not fluent in Finnish, but I don’t think Gavin is bullshitting us here. The phrase “kaksi rakastajaa” does get at something about two lovers.
Min? puhun v?h?n suomea. Not much, though. And it’s not like one gets the opportunity to use it very often.
Most all on this list are service personal and born again Christians.
Uh, isn’t it a sin for born again Christians to perform “service personal”?
You speak a little Finn, which is more than I can. My grandparents spoke Finnish, but I only pick up a few nouns and phrases here and there. Did you live in Finland or anything?
Considering your status here as a bog, isn’t it ironic that you know a little of the only language that can be translated to mean a “marshland”?
Has anybody been keeping an eye on that poll (about sending letters to the White House) over at PeePo.org? It has consistently been about 65% No and 30% Yes. Almost overnight it went to 20% No and 70% Yes.
Geez…she can’t even conduct a poll honestly.
You speak a little Finn, which is more than I can. My grandparents spoke Finnish, but I only pick up a few nouns and phrases here and there. Did you live in Finland or anything?
My grandmother was Saami, and I went through a phase a few years back where I tried to learn the language. It didn’t come to much, because Finnish is so inflected and twisty, but I can conjugate simple verbs and pronounce things fairly well.
so which one of you forgot to wear your hood in that picture?
From what I’ve read, Kerry’ son is in the military, she seems proud of that fact, but as a Christian, she should realize that killing is a sin. I wonder if she reads her bible. How could a Christian woman condone murder? Something doesn’t add up here.
