Oh, Would That It Were Not So!
Posted on January 7th, 2009 by HTML Mencken
Can’t you just feel the regret and sorrow of glennocidal tendencies thwarted — thwarted, I tell you! Alas…
Shorter Verbatim Debbie Schlussel:
I’ve concluded that the only way this war can be “won” is if most of the Palestinians in Gaza–and the so-called “West Bank,” too, where HAMAS has a lot of support–are decimated, which the world will never allow Israel to do, and which Livni and Barak (and Olmert) don’t have the guts to do.
Shorter Verbatim Patrick Bateman Tony Hadley of Spandau Ballet Stephen Green:
The only process towards peace is the kind of war one side can’t commit, and the other side won’t.
Fun pedantic fact — “decimate” means to kill a tenth of, so that sentence makes no sense on any level.
It’s a damned shame to be living in such an enlightened age. Our founding fathers would be ashamed to let an opportunity like this slip by. Whatever happened to “winning is everything”? Are we not Americans!?
Well, yeah, but I know what she means, and you know what I mean… right?
It’s truly bizarre, but apparently all other negotiated treaties ending wars, civil wars, rebellions, international disputes, and the like, have only been able to be conducted and concluded because the parties involved were totally the most admirable, peaceful, committed, honorable states and rebel groups etc. on Earth.
It’s Israeli militarists’ pure misfortune that they check and find each and every representative of the Palestinians to be either insufficient, immoral, or terrorist.
It’s almost like some people think negotiations are to be conducted by the parties in dispute, particularly when there’s, like, an illegal occupation or something, even when the parties don’t like each other and kill each other.
Ah, the opposite of a tithe.
Or you could just make light of the dead Palestinians and claim that a donkey killed in the attacks is worth more than the above mentioned dead Palestinians.
Silly me, that’s almost nothing compared to what’s being posted at Atlas Shrugs. No, wait, it is actually worse. Gotta love LGF2.
Never been a shortage of bloodthirsty hacks in this world, has there?
Markus–rofl! Exactly. Apparently especially if you’re Mormon, I hear they insist on taking that exact 10%. More magic underwear production or something.
The only process towards peace is the kind of war one side can’t commit, and the other side won’t.
I think I speak for all of us when I say: “What?!?!”
Just to make sure:
Debbie Schlussel thinks it takes guts to call for genocide?
Um, ok.
Forp Yksmohc has observed on many occasions that the best thing about a ‘peace process’ is that as long as you’ve got a process, you don’t actually have to make peace…
Bateman means a total extermination which is what the Palestinians supposedly want to do but can’t and what the Israelis should do but won’t.
Maybe she’s on to something here. Have you ever seen a graveyard? Very peaceful places. Or how about hiked in some desolate desert with few signs of life? No wars there.
Oh, K-Mart Coulter, try that in so-called East St Louis and sol-called North Augusta sometime.
Shorter Glennocidalists: if only Israel could gas all the sand-n*gg*rs without it looking slightly inappropriate. We’d give them a free pass!
I’d like a side of freedom fries with my order of fake blond nuts.
Can’t have freedom without freeing the living from their temporary corporeal stasis.
The Aunschlussel strikes again. Israel should just annex the Palestinian territories, round up all the Palestinians and put them in ghettos or camps, restrict their rights and movements, and….oh wait. That is what they’ve been doing, and it hasn’t worked. No choice but the final solution, says Debbie.
Just to make sure:
Debbie Schlussel thinks it takes guts to call for genocide?
Um, ok.
You bet it does! You know violent the Liberal Nazis get about teh genocide. The LZ’s will post unflatering pictures of her with photoshopped giant sandwiches, mock or even-GASP- point out logical or moral fallacies to pro-genocide arguments.
I feel faint just thinking about what poor Debbie is going though!
Calls for extermination of an entire people by a Jewish woman.
Spot the irony.
We need a new term for American Jews who think Zionism is too moderate. Neo-conservative works, but I want something along the lines of Chickenhawk. If only I knew Yiddish…
Wow, she’s really on to something. I can’t believe in the history of humankind that no one else has ever tried this novel idea of winning wars by trying to kill every single living being on the other side.
which the world will never allow Israel to do, and which Livni and Barak (and Olmert) don’t have the guts to do
Thank goodness for the world eh? Debbie is welcome to leave it any time she likes.
If only I knew Yiddish…
??????? is a good all-purpose word.
Schvantz ( fool, cock, prick, dick, asshole )
Or there’s schmendrik, but I was thinking something more inventive. I dunno, the Kosher Klan or summin.
Well it is a solution. A rather final one, at that.
YUMMY!!!
I like how these Rightwing clowns are suggesting genocide and yet we Lefties are still the Nazis some how.
Oh the joy they must feel and the pride knowing that their Bush cheerleading has exiled them to the fringe. Yet even now they can’t stop themselves from spewing craziness at every turn of the news cycle.
These people think they’re pundits when they’re actually Public Sociopaths. Who should be, at the very least, shunned.
I’m old enough to remember when Public Sociopaths who screamed for genocide were not invited to opine on the telly or in columns with bylines (unless it was a publication by the John Birch Society or Teh National Review). If you saw them on the news it was clips of them shrieking and gibbering in the street outside of public buildings, accompanied by disgust and horror from passers-by and viewers. They also appeared occasionally on the editorial page of the local paper in the form of rambling and revolting letters to the editor which often served as a wake-up call to those relatives who had not realized how deranged Grannie or Uncle Ned had actually become and perhaps it was time to Do Something.
But then, I’m old enough to remember wearing a hat and gloves to church. No, I did not get there on a dinosaur.
I feel certain that tonight I will have nightmares about living in the same apartment building as Debbie Schussel. Since it’s bad enough sharing the planet with her, I don’t believe there are enough drugs in the world…
Kosher Klan… How about Kashres Komande?
Holy fuck. If there were such a thing as a just God such people would choke on their own foul tongues
Just out of curiosity, what about “West Bank” is “so-called”? Isn’t, you know, the west bank of the Jordan River? It seems that Kosher Klan thinks the Palestinians are such non-people that the places that they mostly live in have become non-places and cannot actually have a name. It’s an interesting metaphysics, and a really terrible ethics.
A diff Brad;
How about “The Mossadumb”
The only process towards peace is the kind of war one side can’t commit, and the other side won’t.
I think I speak for all of us when I say: “What?!?!”
I think she means a dance-off, like in Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Oh, please, let her mean a dance-off.
You bet it does! You know violent the Liberal Nazis get about teh genocide.
It’s so silly. The right screams about something, the left screams about something.
Lots of genocide? No genocide?
Obviously, the answer is some genocide. Just the right amount.
(and so on for torture, spying on citizens without a warrant, etc. etc.)
/sensible moderate
I’m surprised Debbie doesn’t call on the IDF to get it all get it all over with and buried before Dubya officially leaves office in 14 days. That way he could exit on an upbeat.
Nitpick: Wikipedia does not support the characterization of Tony Hadley as a mass-murdering maniac.
So, is the United States the side that can’t or the side that won’t? Because neither position shows us in a particularly good light, if you think about it….
AIIIIEEEEEEEE–

From Debbie’s thread
FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!
Most bizarre commenter over there
Not juggling with a full deck, evidently.
It seems very crazy that the Western Countries all choose to commit suicide instead of fighting with
honorCheetos &dignityfear-mongering. Very Sad.Fixed!
Calls for extermination of an entire people by a Jewish woman.
Spot the irony.
Hey there Sphinxy! Um, yeah. Actually it’s rather a cacophany of irony if you look at the whole range of anti-Muslim bloggers out there. Hmmm…Pamela Geller lost almost entire family in the Holocaust. Robert Spencer lost family in Turkey. Ditto over at the IBA in terms of the Jewish posters. I don’t know about Daniel Pipes, perhaps lost family when he morphed into Ming the Merciless?
Don’t know, at least Schlussel tries to actually write about her genocidal tendencies instead of simply posting the more pathetic “YAY! They’re all DEAD!! Kill em all” shite that’s coming out of LGF 2, and just think, I haven’t even checked “The Jawa Report”. Those guys must be foaming at the mouth by now.
I just need to stay here safely at Sadly, No! where people aren’t cheering for dead Gazans. Make me stay and enjoy the wingnuttery from here…..I can’t take the idiocy anymore….
I am wrong. Mr. Juggles comes in second place.
“Ramrod” snort. Another Stroke Force member?
What did Patrick Bateman every do to hurt anyone?! Sure, “Arrested Development” got canceled but I don’t think we can really blame that on him. “Teen Wolf” and “Howard the Duck” weren’t great but everyone makes mistakes.
“We need a new term for American Jews who think Zionism is too moderate. Neo-conservative works, but I want something along the lines of Chickenhawk. If only I knew Yiddish…”
Meshuganah. It’s a noun. Crazy person. (Meshugeh is the adjective.)
Gentlewoman–
Pre-zactly. As I said a couple weeks ago, what until the Internet would have arrived written in crayon on paper bags to the editorial offices of some magazine now arrives online, looking as “official” and “published” as anything else.
If the contest is still open, I’m voting for Schmuck Troopers. But really, what they’re advocating is what I believe moderate/liberal Israelis might call Sharonism, (after the always-militant Ariel Sharon), so American Sharonists could be the non-snark term.
The only process towards peace is the kind of war one side can’t commit, and the other side won’t.
Oh really. I have yet to see any restraint on the part of the Israelis, nor any indication that the world might actually stand up and say “that’s pretty much enough war crimes and crimes against humanity for one little country to commit – time to take a time out”.
Firing tank rounds and dropping 2000 pound bombs in densely packed residential communities full of women and children you have systematically starved, with a non-functional municipal infrastructure is to me, an indication that precisely the opposite is in effect.
Israel IS committing genocide, collective punishment and plenty of other war crimes, without restraint nor without significant complaint from the rest of the world.
If this can honestly be a justifiable response to the firing of tiny, homebuilt unaimed rockets that have killed twenty people in a decade, then there is no credible basis to call what we have become “civilization”.
It is a shameful, appalling horror, the worst and most obvious case of government sponsored terrorism in the world today, and the American Government’s response is sickening…
mikey
The only problem with Schmuck Troopers is schmuck means “big dick”. Schmendrik Troopers would fit better, but leave too many lost. There’s always Kowardly Kosher Klan, or maybe diasporahawks.
Yeah, but you have to be pretty fucked up to name your band after such a boring part of Berlin. It’s twinned with Boca Raton, for godsakes.
-You can never make peace with an enemy (HAMAS) who’s only goal is the complete destruction of the Jewish State
-There is only one way for “peace in the Middle East”. Choose a side (Israel), arm it to the teeth, and them to the teeth and let them destroy the other side. There can only be one side left when all is said and done.
So, the Palestinians are bad because they want to completely destroy the other side, but Israel is right to want to completely destroy the other side?
Somebody linked an Orwell quote the other day that suits these folks down to the ground: “All nationalists have the power of not seeing resemblances between similar sets of facts. A British Tory will defend self-determination in Europe and oppose it in India with no feeling of inconsistency. Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage – torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians – which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by ‘our’ side.”
“Big dick” kind of fits with my idea that most wars are just violent measuring contests, with tiny men overcompensating for their lack of size by acting like they have the Biggest Penis in the History of Penises. Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney are probable examples.
Why does the Costco Coulter always write “HAMAS” in LOUD, SHOUTING CAPITAL LETTERS? She doesn’t write “HEZBOLLAH” or “FATAH.”
Perhaps she thinks it’s an acronym:
Hell’s Army – Muslims Are Shit
Or something…
mikey
OT, but, you know, I just remembered another reason why Senator Al Franken will be TEH AWESUM. From his book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, “I Meet Former First Lady Barbara Bush and It Doesn’t Go Well”:
I have to think that the words “Senator Al Franken” really stick in Barbara Bush’s craw (and she’s got a really big one), and that can’t be other than a good thing.
I understand Dubya is considered the child who most takes after his mother.
…
Uh huh.
We need a new term for American Jews who think Zionism is too moderate. Neo-conservative works, but I want something along the lines of Chickenhawk. If only I knew Yiddish…
How about Schmaltzwankers?

Masadabators.
Jennifer, are you taking the position you have unequivocal data regarding the size of Barbara Bush’s craw?
Have you SEEN her craw?
From how close?
Anything else we should know about you and her? Does she go around with her craw out? Are you one to examine the craw of perfect strangers?
Uh, you don’t, um, like have any PHOTOS, do you?
mikey
…
Fuck it, I can’t follow Mentis Fugit.
Have you SEEN her craw?
From how close?
Well, when the rest of the package is supersized, you gotta figure the craw is as well.
Arky said,
It’s the miasma of flatulence I trail behind me isn’t it?
Oh, give Debbie a break. The literal meaning of “decimate” is to reduce a population by 10%. So maybe that’s what she wants done–shoot every randomly selected tenth Palestinian in the head. That’s reasonable, isn’t it?
Heck, if you asked her nicely, she’d probably even make an exception for children under 10.
Mencken’s so smokin’ that I almost hesitate to bring this up, but here’s a jewel from little Megan:
Apres les faggots, le deluge!!!
Megan’s so cute when she pretends she knows what all those words mean.
…
Aw hell, all those people who use that detached econo-speak always struck me as sub-par intellects trying to sound smart.
In other words, libertarians.
The Craw?
Masadabators wins, yes.
Jennifer, that’s a good example of why I’m both happy and sad I started FMM. I’m not going to lack for material, not this year.

P.S.

70-year events like the current mess
This language, this passive voice here, is exactly why I loathe economists of a certain stripe and libertarians who try to imitate them.
This is how these fuckwits get away with this shit, is because so deeply embedded in the language that they use to discuss it is a disclaimer of all responsibility for their stupidity. And it’s just that much harder to call them out on it.
Barbra Bush Craw. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of these arguments could be applied just as well to gay marriage or abortion law or universal health care, if you lean that way–it’s no good just saying that it hasn’t hurt Sweden, because the deluge might still await.
And this is the kind of thing that really gets up my nose … it seems to be a common libertarian affliction, applying principles where they really obviously don’t apply, in a playing-dumb sort of way (though they might be actually dumb), usually in order to try to brush off being caught in some big lie or contradiction.
Srsly. Gay marriage might hurt society as much as unrestrained looting by financial companies, it just hasn’t yet? That’s just rampaging idiocy.
This is how these fuckwits get away with this shit, is because so deeply embedded in the language that they use to discuss it is a disclaimer of all responsibility for their stupidity.
Yup. Another one I keep hearing lately, in the context of walking back the disaster with the Big 3 automakers, is that “the market demanded bigger cars and SUVs.” This is usually spoken by industry flacks, and always accepted unquestioningly.
How exactly does the market demand things? Do people go to the showroom, notice a disappointing lack of ugly fuel-gobbling pigmobiles, and write to the car companies asking for them? I think not! That construction is a total misrepresentation of how commerce works, and it’s gospel. Argh.
That Megan thing is beyond the pale.

How about “Meshuggestapo”?
Calling the government of Israel cowards makes you “pro-Israel”. Saying you’re concerned that this operation will make Israel less safe in the long term makes you “anti-Israel”.
How about “Meshuggestapo”?
HA! Beautiful.
Are you referring to Megatron herself as an objectified thing, you sexist pig, or just her latest spew as a thing?
Either way, they’re both beyond the pale.
And The Craw. We used to have hours (well, it seemed like, but it couldn’t have been) of reefer-inspired amusement in college saying “Not craw, craw!” to each other. Thanks for the (troubling) memories.
I understand Dubya is considered the child who most takes after his mother.
Nonsense, Bar’s gaffes are well spoken diatribes against those who aren’t as wealthy as her whereas, well, W just can’t even say “nuclear”.
If that Whistle Test vid is from 1979 Ron Asheton isn’t there.
From Schluss:
Well, why doesn’t Israel stand up for itself, stop depending on AmeriKKKa & “the international community” (thought they all hated Israel & spent all their spare time condemning the Israelis for their war crimes) make some money for themselves & buy enough weapons to get the job done?
Or what about those nukes Israel “doesn’t” have? Can’t they use those on the Palestinians who are “all HAMAS?”
At this point, maybe we should be taking up a collection to ship the Snack Cake to Israel & run her for premier on the Extermination Party ticket.
No, no. The Claw. Son.

I think this impression comes from Al Franken as well. Seems like in one of his books he says W got his meanness from his momma.
Well, G,. W. certainly didn’t get his meanness from Poppy, who I’ve heard recently on the radio discussing Jeb, & how swell it would be if he were President or a Senator. Poppy sounds like Mr. Fucking Rogers. It may just be old age testosterone depletion, but I’m thinking Babs relieved most of the men in her family of their testosterone production facilities long ago.
Bitch.
You Zionist BASTARDS!
Come back here, I’ll bite your nose off!

I’m picturing a younger Barbara (difficult, but possible) out by the back pond teaching little George how to blow up frogs.

George W ruined any other Bush’s chances of becoming president for the next ten thousand years. At least I hope he has.
At least I hope he has.
If he hasn’t, we truly are the kind of country that deserves a Bush at the helm.
The literal meaning of “decimate” is to reduce a population by 10%. So maybe that’s what she wants done–shoot every randomly selected tenth Palestinian in the head. That’s reasonable, isn’t it?
Well, what she actually said was
So i guess that means she’s advocating killing a tenth of each individual Palestinian — or at least most of them. Which I guess means chopping off a couple of hands or something. Would you do that by height, body weight, volume, or what?
The confluence (heh heh) of “most of the Palestinians” with “decimated” indicates that bargain-basement Coulter does not know the definition of the word.
But it sounds like annihilate, so close enough for rightwing rabble-garble.
I’m old enough to remember when Public Sociopaths who screamed for genocide were not invited to opine on the telly or in columns with bylines
Gentlewoman, I’m with you on that, and it is one of the curses on the internets. Pre internet days, nutters like this were reduced to selling poorly worded panphlets and railways stations, while the general public ignored them. Now they can spout venom from the conform of there won room, while naked, sipping a mai thai!!!!
Loneoak, re the ‘so called’ west bank, the true believers refer to it as Judea & Samaria, or some such thing. paraphrasing a friend of mine (while discussing Corwallian freedom); “If your basing your political views on a 2000+ year old book, then its time to take a long, hard look at yourself.
On the other hand, there IS something to be said for killing people who scare you or piss you off.
Simplifies shit, dontcha know…
mikey
Decimate
Decimation was a form of collective punishment in the Roman army, whereby every tenth man in a mutinous or demoralised party of soldiers was executed, so to decimate in English was used to mean “destroy a small but noticeable part of”. Most people would say they know some of that, and yet that useful word has been irreversibly corrupted into just one more synonym for “damage beyond repair, virtually destroy”, but with the advantage of looking rather classy and learned. Not to be used even in the original sense on grounds of ambiguity.
Totally off topic I know, but you guys do realize your asses are totally getting whupped by a PUMA blog in the Weblog awards? http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-liberal-blog/ So sad.
Thank you, Mr. Amis. Quite informative.
How’s that after-life working out for ya?
C.mon, if there’s one belief we humans have held dear throughout our recorded history, it’s not in god or money or whatever — it’s in killing. Killing will solve all of our problems. All we need do is to find the correct people, and kill them. All of them. (If we leave any alive, that’s just more killing we’ll have to do later.) Sure, we’ll argue long and hard over who the right people are, and how best to kill them, but these are just details.
Of course, some losers claim we could find other solutions to our problems. We should kill them first, just to be sure.
tensor’s got it. Killer apes, no more, no less.
Speaking of these web log awards, the categories in which sites are placed seem arbitrary. Wonkette & S,N! may be “liberal” but the funny is what brings me. And why’s TBogg in humor but S,N! is in “lib?” Or something.
That & previous bitter resentful comments concerning the nominating committee aside, provide a link & I’ll follow & click whatever I’m told, every 24 hrs.
Now that I’m clued in to the meaning and origin of “decimate”, I gladly volunteer to decimate most of Debbie SchtrokeForsel, starting with the parts that wag, blather and type.
Zionist BASTARDS!!!!
I hate you!!!!
“most of” should be in quotes.
Another total psychotic meltdown.You’re on a roll Toots-if I was there I’d give you a thrilling slap on the ass to show you my appreciation-then you could fetch me a Beer.You’d enjoy that-I’m quite certain.
FWIW, Hamas is an acronym. Sorta. But only wingnuts do the all-caps thing.
I believe the quote (mentioned by Molly Ivins, too) was along the lines of “that woman knows how to hate”. The speaker? Dick Nixon.
I’m picturing a younger Barbara (difficult, but possible)
She was surprisingly good-looking once upon a time.
Good looking Pish! Have ya seen the Hot Sarah Palin 2009 Calendar
Hubba Hubba she could decimate some HAMAS’s with that shottie.
Juggs,
you bastard, I was expecting some soft core porn, but its just a tame old calender.
However, i was intrigued by the “Ronald Regan Laughs CD” those sick rethug bastards.
But I’m more than just a little curious
How you’re plannin’ to go about makin’ your amends
To the dead
Just curious.
@mikey:
In fact, Hamas is an acronym.
Holy young Bar….it’s like a young W in drag. WEEEEIIIIRRRRRRD
Brandi, wow, thanks for that.
It is surprising.
Ya know, if they didn’t have all that money, they’d be completely miserable, I imagine.
Richard Nixon supposedly said this about Barbara Bush:
“I like her. She really knows how to hate.”
And since when is Wonkette a “liberal blog”? Pfft.
Al Franken, quoted at Democratic Underground 9/03:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104×261404
“I kept hearing things like ‘Oh no, she’s a horrible bitch.’ ‘Omigod, she’s the worst bitch on earth.’ ‘She can be very charming, but Barbara Bush is the Queen Bitch.’
“Understand. This was absolutely universal. And not always said in an unadmiring way. ‘She’s the enforcer.’ ‘Barbara’s the tough one.’ ‘She’s mean, but she keeps everyone in line.’
“But another, even more interesting insight came from everyone who knew the Bushes. They all agreed. ‘Dubya is her son.’ He’s mean…It’s because he’s his mother’s son. I think he’s mean. I think we’re all too ready to blame Karl Rove or Dick Cheney, or Ari Fleischer or Donald Rumsfeld or John Ashcroft when this administration does something despicable…But it’s really Bush.”
Till: Wonkette has been a “liberal” blog as long as I can remember.
Wonkette is at war with the PUMAs.
It’s lots of fun, because only one side thinks it’s funny.
How’s that after-life working out for ya?
Eh, can’t complain. Except Harold Pinter’s just showed up and he keeps throwing peanuts at me.
How about “Meshuggestapo”?
“Meshugenazis”?
But really, what they’re advocating is what I believe moderate/liberal Israelis might call Sharonism, (after the always-militant Ariel Sharon), so American Sharonists could be the non-snark term.
Ooh my little angry ones, angry ones.
When you gonna give me some time, Sharonists?
Ooh you make the children run, the children run.
Gun ’em comin’ off the line Sharonists
Never gonna stop, shoot it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of bloodthirsty kind. My my my i yi woo. M-M-M-My Sharonists…
Fun pedantic fact — “decimate” means to kill a tenth of, so that sentence makes no sense on any level.
The Romans were actually not entirely sure of this. Etymologically, “decimate” should, in theory, mean to leave a tenth remaining. Some Roman historians reported that the practice of decimation originally meant 9/10 of a unit disobeying orders was killed, but that that was later changed to 1/10, as a more merciful approach. This is probably made up after the fact, but is worth pointing out.
Killing will solve all of our problems. All we need do is to find the correct people, and kill them. All of them. (If we leave any alive, that’s just more killing we’ll have to do later.) Sure, we’ll argue long and hard over who the right people are, and how best to kill them, but these are just details.
Baron Munchausen: What’s this?
Vulcan: Oh, this is our prototype. RX, uh, Intercontinental, radar-sneaky, multi-warheaded nuclear missile.
Baron Munchausen: Ah! What does it do?
Vulcan: Do? Kills the enemy.
Baron Munchausen: All the enemy?
Vulcan: Aye, all of them. All their wives, and all their children, and all their sheep, and all their cattle, and all their cats and dogs. All of them. All of them gone for good.
Sally: That’s horrible.
Vulcan: Ahh. Well, you see, the advantage is you don’t have to see one single one of them die. You just sit comfortably thousands of miles away from the battlefield and simply press the button.
Berthold: Well, where’s the fun in that?
‘She’s mean, but she keeps everyone in line.’
What, kinda like Saddam Hussein?
I really don’t see why liberals take the Weblog Awards seriously. They’re run by Wizbang, right? Wasn’t Sadly’s main competition last year for Humor, uh, those hydrocephalics at IMAO and some imbecile who made cartoons making fun of DU posters in between bouts of harassing a guy dying of cancer with accusations of fraud?
And now this year you have the fucking Effluence in the running for “Best Liberal Blog?” Heh.
PUMA HAKA!!!!!! ROAR!!!!
I really don’t see why liberals take the Weblog Awards seriously.
Yeah. I keep forgetting about them, even when I’m being reminded to VOTE! EVERY! DAY!
It was hard to choose between DUmmie Funnies’ cancer-patient harrassment and the Fred Thompson Facts guys, for sure.
The “when in doubt, wipe them out” school of foreign-affairs.
Way to go, Schlussel – BRILLIANT idea.
Martin Bormann would be so proud!
Yeah, slaughter Palestinians in the West Bank … because that’s the only place on Earth they ever live … it’s not like there’s any Palestinian diaspora that might be a mite irate at having their entire family / neighbourhood obliterated or anything.
Barbara Bush? Personally, I prefer not to have my beautiful mind sullied by such awful things.
Vote for Simply Left Behind in the Weblog Awards
Sorry…couldn’t resist. 😀
I saw that Claw Matt!
I spent an afternoon going through Jerry Reed videos a while back so I’ve seen both of those and I approve.
Blog awards, schmlog awards. Here, this’ll put things in perspective: Tennessee Guerilla Women won a Koufax award a few years ago. Of course that was when =ahem= I was with them, and before they all turned into insane PUMAs.
So in conclusion, perhaps blog awards are indeed like hemorrhoids: Sooner or later every a*hole gets one.

Thanks rather a lot for show reasonably useful informations. Your site is great.I’m impressed by the data that you have on this blog. It shows how very properly you realize this subject.
