Just to get it out of the way, that should be “Are you smarter than I?” To which I respond, “You’re damn right I am!”

I too joined Mensa many years ago. After a handful of meetings and socials with cab drivers, slackers and underachieving gamesters, I ran away and never admitted membership til this day.
Reading her post, she seems well suited for the rabble populates Mensa. Loozerati.

Isn’t Debbie Schlemazl, oops, I mean Schlussel, also a Mensan?

I love the t-shirt on that East Valley student, Brandon Miller, that read, “Hitler gave good speeches, too.”

Well, are you smarter than Hitler, Alicia?

It looks like the folks in her comments have gone Galt on us with their IQ’s.

Back in the day, even before teh Intertoobz, there was a group called Densa which I joined once I realized that I should trust my intuitive sense that Mensa members were all nuts, right-wingers, libertarians, and/or idiots. Wish I still had their badge but I think it got lost in a move.

You can still find the “Densa quiz” at http://www.pressanykey.com/cgi-bin/jquiz.cgi, and there’s a web site (http://home.comcast.net/~czell/densa.htm), but I don’t know if it’s the same people … obviously, since as an old member I don’t know anything.

“Besides how can you conclude that the planet is undergoing rapid climate change when we’ve only been documenting those records for a few hundred years?”

I know. Tell me about it.

Today you get all these gay ass scientists with their stupid lab coats doing ‘tests’ and ‘theories’ and ‘equations’ and sh*t instead of just asking people who say they have high IQ’s to tell them what will happen to the Earth.

If the world’s supposedly ‘best’ and ‘smartest’ scientists do all their so-called ‘work’ and come up with some stupid sh*t about how increased CO2 at higher levels of the atmosphere slow the release of outgoing longwave infrared photons and thus slow the Earth’s cooling mechanism, then you should just look at them and laugh and say, “No, stupid, Al Gore is FAT and has a BIG HOUSE.”

I am smarter than all these so-called scientists because I figgered out immediately that this so-called global warming stuff is fake because we cannot time travel into the future to see what will happen, therefore we don’t know what will happen, and any idjit can see that Al Gore just made everything up to sell books and make money.

Another shorter Alicia: Arafat was rich, therefore, Palestinians should die!

My brain, hurt it is.

By the way, all you libruls are toast now that Glenn Beck has launched The 9/12 Project which is aimed at making all his billions of followers feel just as enraged and threatened as they did on 9/12/2001, which of course can only be good for our country.

The fact is, the 912 Project is awesome patriotism from the Heartland. You liberals are nothing but haters. Obama is as bad as Hitler.

Someone named Thomas Lifson in comments, in response to grammar complaints:

Relax, all you grammarians. Alicia and I both know the proper grammar. We also know colloquial patterns of speech and the necessities of headline writing.

Vilify the intelligent, get down on knees to the wealthy. Hail the virtues of war; destroy those for peace. Bury honesty; extol greed. Celebrate hatred; mock love. Blaze education; comfort ignorance. Deny self-worth; idolize the famous and influential. Worship an invisible adult friend; abuse those who are close. Scoff at trust; believe in treachery. Accept hypocrisy, back-stabbing, and ass-kissing; deny the existence of human dignity. Laugh like a fool; embrace harm. Imagination is for dreamers; dreamers are lame. The self-sacrificing are insane; the envious know. Friendship is phony; phony is real. Never forgive, never forget, and never forsake vengeance. – Jesus Christ

The fact is, Jesus loves the heartland more than the coastal eleites, and He will protect us. He didn’t protect you on 9-11.

Just one more commenter:

Re: “Hitler gave good speeches, too.” Actually, Hitler gave better speeches. If he had said, “The automobile was invented in Germany,” he would have been correct, but the point is he never would have said it without knowing it was true. Hitler, as far as I have read (and I’ve read a lot about the intra-war period), did not pull stuff straight out of his rectum and throw it out on massive audiences.

Shorter: All that stuff about bolsheviks & Jews was right.

Mensa: Outstanding proof that smarts and wisdom are not the same thing.

Hey Alicia, three words for ya hon, ‘garbage in, garbage out’…

The fact is, liberals and Obama pull fact out of their rectum and not true ones like conservatives do.

Gary, didn’t you get the fax-blast? From now on, they’re to be known as “the Coastal Intellects vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard.”

Look.

Alicia. the very folks cheering you on at American Thinker would be demanding proof of your citizenship if they met you on the street. Sleep well, dear.

Ah, the old canards like “Obama didn’t write his autobiography” and “I’m in Mensa”.

Why is it that all the people that I am aware of who say they are in Mensa are idiots? Not the drooling on the floor when they are awake kind, but the kind who lack any amount of reasoning or critical thinking skills. The more I see of these people, the more I think that Mensa is a tool to assuage people’s egos. It’s the exclusive club that let’s it’s members say “I’m smarter than you, neener neener neener!”

It is true that some of the most educated or “intelligent” people are easy to fool because they think they can’t be. Randi and others have proven that time and time again. Maybe these people, like her, are so sure of their own superiority that they know for a fact that what they believe is true, regardless of the facts.

Idiots.

(This is not to say that all Mensa members are like that, but everyone I have heard of so far seem to be far right conservetards. I’m sure that some members are not fools or idiots, just I am unaware of them. Perhaps they don’t go around bragging that they are in Mensa using that to try to argue from authority they otherwise lack.)

Hello, Jack Epcot here, bringing you news of the future. The latest report from leading intellimetricians (people who measure the smartness of other people) indicates that deniers of climate change evidence, or so-called ‘global warming’, are classifiable Morons. Those people responsible for policing the orthodoxy, commonly known as the Orthodoxy Police, are heaping abuse, in spite of their snazzy uniforms and powerful tasers, upon farsighted individuals who dare to look more than ten years into the future. We look forward to repairing the holes in the ozone layer using Rustoleum Corporation Varathane™.

Adolf Hitler gave good speeches. Alicia Colon, not so much.

Alicia Colon.

Heh.

It’s the exclusive club that let’s it’s members say “I’m smarter than you,“I passed a test! neener neener neener!”

foxed.

The only thing George W. Bush ever wrote on his own was that note to Condi at the U.N. asking if it was okay to get up and go to the john.

Wow. That column was a hoot. A hoot and a half. First, I’m a Yankees fan and on several of the Yankees blogs I read you see the same ads. Things like “Derek Jeter’s IQ is [number between 110-180]”. If it shows that Jeter’s totally made up IQ is higher than Giambi’s totally made up IQ that doesn’t mean that political correctness is making them make up a higher IQ for the minority than for the Italian dude.

Second she says over and over “There’s no way to know Obama’s IQ” and then, based on her own Mensa membership she says “Theoretically this means I have to be smarter than Obama”. Wow.

Goes to show you can be on the right side of issues and still be a dizzy bitch.

I’m a MENSA member, I just joined to prove to myself I could. Didn’t change my life any. I went to a couple of meetings, the talks were interesting but there were a lot of people who thought their opinions mattered more than others because they are members. I know I don’t know everything, I am just able to reason things out for myself rather well. I guess that’s why I’m not a conservative.

She was born Alicia Sphincter.

I didn’t invest with Bernie Madoff, and my mortgage is a straight line 5.95% and I never voted for GW Bush. Excuse me while I go translate haiku into Esperanto.

Gotta love a column disputing Obama’s intelligence that excludes the fact that he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. I doubt the Colon could pull that off.

Alica Colon, filling your shit moats and thinking deep thoughts since 1971.

Shorter Alicia Colon nee Sphincter:

“I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T!”

Mensa: Outstanding proof that smarts and wisdom are not the same thing.

Sad, innit? Finding that out is like finding out that “beautiful” and “attractive” aren’t the same thing, although I can imagine cases where finding that out would be fun.

Oh, and is a Shorter Colon a semicolon? Or maybe a cloaca?

Ficksed.

“Besides how can you conclude that the planet is undergoing rapid climate change when we’ve only been documenting those records for a few hundred years?”

Someone please tell me that this is a parodic comment, rather than quoted from the original post. It reads so well as a shorter in its own right. The sentence structure has the internal logic of that old sitting-on-the-wrong-end-of-the-tree-limb-one’s-sawing-through cartoon trope. “How can you conclude that change is rapid when we only have the evidence that would detect rapid change?”

From comments, FRS on 3/12 @ 11:14 am FTW:

That is really the problem with Obama. It does not matter how smart he may or may not be; he is proving that he lacks the depth of experience to make critical decisions. I can cite many examples, not the least of which was his clear absence of knowledge in the primary season of the role of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Individuals cannot have the breadth of knowledge to know everything, but they should at least have proved experience as a CEO before attempting to run a company or a state before running the largest government in the world. One of the most bothersome of Obama facts that argue his IQ is his complete lack of history and geography. I remember when Bush was running against McCain in 2000 that the press made a big deal of his not knowing the names of obscure foreign leaders or his utter mispronunciation of their names, but when it came down to it Bush knew how to run a company and knew how to manage crisis. I have no faith that Obama has a clue.

Uh oh. Hey libs, word of warning…this column was indeed asinine. But before you begin to appeal to Obama’s academic credentials, keep in mind that a certain ex Prez whose intelligence you spent 8 years attacking also had some absolutely first rate schools on his CV.

My academic credentials are without taint.

That should have been: Bush knew how to run a company and knew how to manage crisis.

FYWP

You may think the conservative cause is blocked and our ideals stubbornly hardened, but I have complete faith in our movement.

I keep seeing these “books” that state unequivocally that there used to be megafauna called “Mammoths” that roamed large swaths of what would come to be North America millions of years ago.

This is just patently silly. I’ve never seen one, not even in a ZOO! And I LIVE in North America!

And I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a photograph of one, or read an interview with a person that had seen them. Frankly, there seems to be NO evidence that these “Mammoths” ever existed other than some claims around some completely ambiguous “fossils”. That is some weak sauce, my friend.

These people are not only frauds, they are objectively less intelligent than I…

Yes, caution is necessary after all a ‘Gentleman’s C’ and ‘Magna Cum Laude’ are almost the same thing.

Megafauna may be charismatic, but they’re clearly not intelligent, or else they would have joined Mensa.*

“Jack Cashill wrote an intriguing piece or two for American Thinker that presented enough shadows of doubt for legitimate journalists to pursue.”
i. e., we couldn’t find any rel evidence beyond rank speculation that the writing styles were somewhat alike.

“Vanessa Redgrave can be a Palestinian sympathizer without questioning why Yasser Arafat was a multimillionaire while his people starved in camps.”
More wingnut fantasy. It is easily researched and well known that Arafat was a millionaire from his work as a civil engineer in the petroleum industry well before he became the leader of Fatah He always lived a meager existence, residing in sparse quarters with a wardrobe mainly of fatigues. While he controlled billions, personally he had nothing. Even his detractors admitted this, at least the ones that bothered to actually allow themselves to be informed.

Now, now. That’s her married name.

She was born Alicia Sphincter.

So she married up?

I defy you to find a hole in my reasoning.

the most exciting chapter in our species’ evolution.
I have to confess that I haven’t actually read that chapter yet, since I skipped ahead to see how the story ends.

mikey

I defy you to point out your reasoning.

It’s right over … oh wait, that’s my elbow.

Skipping to the end of the PJTV video (like any human could bear 25 minutes of that), one of the angry giants scoffs at the previous giant’s comment that the ‘gubmit’ had failed in some stem cell research, and he does his best sarcastic shaky head voice and says “Gee, imagine that, the government tries to do something and does it wrong,” and presumably all viewers nod their heads in agreement because clearly all our current stem cell research comes from the Tobacco Institute and the Cato Institute and the Estee Lauder Institute and not those damn knucklehead gubmit and gubmit skool scientists who think that you can predict what’s going to happen to the Earth given that we cannot time travel to the future and see.

Oh wait it’s over here! Oops, nope. That’s a hole in the ground.

“…an intriguing piece or two for American Thinker that presented enough shadows of doubt…”
“Our product is doubt”. I think I’ve heard that before somewhere.

a ‘Gentleman’s C’ and ‘Magna Cum Laude’ are almost the same thing.
I disagree. The former movie had characters and a plot that were almost plausible, if you’re after that sort of thing…
Sorry. Thought you said “Loudly”.

Megafauna may be charismatic, but they’re clearly not intelligent, or else they would have joined Mensa

Besides megafauna, you know who else was charismatic? Hitler.

Many admire me for my probing intellect, but I am most proud of my intestinal fortitude.

Hey, Alicia Colon: It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing… doo wa, doo wa, doo wa, doo wa, duodenum.

Our society needs to be irrigated with conservative ideas and cleansed from the bottom up.

“Besides how can you conclude that the planet is undergoing rapid climate change when we’ve only been documenting those records for a few hundred years?”

It’s a philosophical dilemma when one is asked to find the ‘hole’ in such an ‘argument,’ given that the assumption when looking for a hole is that there is some sort of non-hole substance surrounding it.

“Besides how can you conclude that the planet is undergoing rapid climate change women have the right to vote when we’ve only been documenting those records for a few less than a hundred years?”

How come all them damn ‘scientists’ say that the Universe is expanding real quick when we’ve only had telescopes for a couple hunnert years?

The sentence structure is absolutely horrible. Right from the off, in fact:

Well, I am and I can prove it unlike all these so-called claims of how smart our newly elected president is.

Then there’s the weird insistence that she’s a hard-headed evidence-based rationalist:

…the media elite were too busy feeling tinglings up their legs to break from the Obama spell and investigate and separate fact from wishful thinking … I can think thoroughly about many issues that interest me. I tend to question statements that are furnished without evidence.

…alongside a little spray of yellow journalism about the authorship of Obama’s memoirs, based entirely on

an intriguing piece or two for American Thinker that presented enough shadows of doubt for legitimate journalists to pursue.

Of course, we know how that turned out.

How can we say the Moon isn’t made of Green cheese since we’ve only been there 6 times?

the media elite were too busy feeling tinglings up their legs to break from the Obama spell and investigate and separate fact from wishful thinking

I just want to boast that I can feel tinglings up my legs, AND separate fact from wishful thinking, AT THE SAME TIME.
In fact, right now the tingling
Wait
No, that’s just wishful thinking.

Colon is full of shit. Literally and figuratively.

They say the Sun is made up of Hydrogen and Helium but I don’t see any balloons.

I love how the rightards will make some really, really stupid argument and then sit and smirk as if they just thought of something brilliant. Creationists do it all the time: “if we evolved from monkeys, WHY ARE THERE STILL MONEYS!” (smirk, smirk) Watching them try to debate real scientists is like watching a team of obese 12 year-old little-league washouts try to play baseball against a team of major-leaguers.

they say “I’m more of the Libertarian kind of Republican”

A distinct & to be hoped for possibility is the division (amœba-like) of the R party into clinging, bitter culture warriors & “let the kids smoke heavily-taxed dope so I won’t have to pay taxes, no regulation, drowned gummint glibertarian” parts. W/ a probable increase in independents (whatever they are).

NB: Where the period belongs outside the parens.

Given the insufficient scientific proof of our existence, you may all now feel free to fly around the room.

Actually, I feel a great sense of inner relief when liberals try to dump on my ideas. It’s a load off my mind.

“Americans need to exercise their brain cells by questioning everything spoken by politicians and written in the media. That means wondering if I really belonged to Mensa at all.”

Forgive me if someone already pointed this out, but with that last sentence she seems to be saying that she was lying when she said she was a member of mensa. Judging by her writing skills, I’d say it’s highly unlikely that she’s probably incapable of even completing a mensa submission form.

How do you know that carbon dioxide causes a green house effect? Have you ever seen a carbon dioxide?

My reasoning is perfect.

Er, I mean…”highly unlikely that she’s even capable of completing a mensa submission form.”

The laws of gravity said,
Given the insufficient scientific proof of our existence, you may all now feel free to fly around the room.

“Just because we don’t understand ‘what’ [you] are, doesn’t mean we can’t predict ‘what’ [you’ll] do”, so get your ass off the ceiling!

Since I’m on a roll here, I’ll add this appendix: I’ve got omentum.

“That’s why I never understood how people fell for Al Gore’s global warming panic. He’s not a scientist. He flunked out of Divinity School.”
Maybe because Al Gore referenced the work of legions of climate scientists instead of relying on anecdotal weather occurrences?

‘Mensa admits members whose IQ’s are in the top two percent of the country. When I joined in 1984, mine was in the top one percent so theoretically I’m smarter than Obama.”
No, it means that your performance on an I.Q. test qualified you for MENSA membership. As you said, you don’t know what Obama’s IQ is. And scoring higher on an IQ test doesn’t necessarily mean you are more intelligent or “smarter” than another person, especially one who graduated magna cum laude from the most competitive law school in the nation. (I’m qualified for MENSA, and I couldn’t get near Harvard Law) And oh, yes, rose from a non-privileged background to the presidency.

“This does not qualify me to be elected anything but it does mean I can think thoroughly about many issues that interest me. I tend to question statements that are furnished without evidence.”
It also apparently doesn’t qualify you to think analytically. You have arrived at a conclusion (global warming is not happening) without any evidence or expertise (“we’ve only been studying it for a few hundred years”) But apparently conclude, on the basis of your score on an IQ test that you are better equipped to evaluate climate change and that your opinion is more valid than the thousands of scientists who have have been gathering and analyzing data from the earth and space for the past several decades.

“Americans need to exercise their brain cells by questioning everything spoken by politicians and written in the media. That means wondering if I really belonged to Mensa at all.”
With MENSA, the gods themselves labor in vain.

My academic credentials are without taint.

Funny – my taint is without academic credentials.

You have to google fish puns and poop jokes?

Clicked, read the post – & one word immediately sprang to mind: enema … enema … enema …

I tend to question statements that are furnished without evidence.

Unless it’s a weak-ass rumor that some 60s radical ghost-wrote Obama’s memoir (because hey now, surely he’d be stumped when it comes to telling his own life-story, amirite?) – in which case, questions are for pussies: KICK OUT THE MOTHERFUCKIN’ JAMS! FUCK EVIDENCE – SMEARING PEOPLE WITHOUT HAVING ANY TOTALLY ROCKS!!!1!

“The planet was warmer before there were human beings on it” is a real pip, too. False analogy fail, lady. The fact that Earth was once a ball of flaming lava proves that Al Gore is FAT FAT FAT?!?

Someone who’s dead-set on sticking a crutch under their maimed ideology by believing that Harvard Law School is some affirmative-action-loving hippie commune (& scoffs at centuries of hard data, not to mention millions of years’ worth of geological data) may be bright but they’re sure as hell not smart.

Mensa exists to part fools with their $60 per annum (in Canada – your fleecing rates may vary) for nothing more substantial than bragging rights … no refunds. If your insecurity is that much of an issue, there ARE alternatives – soothers are much cheaper, & less psychologically crippling to boot. Most members appear to use their Mensa Card as a permit to be a hubristic snob (see “Are You Smarter Than Me?” link above for details).
A dipshit with a large IQ is still a dipshit.

godammit, jim beat me to enema.

I think it would be cool if alicia commented here and got disemvowelled.

the enema of my enema is my frenum.

Or de-colonized.

Man, that comment thread over at AT is a real MENSA party. One guy wants to know how common it is to seal academic records, (since Obama hasn’t released his) and says he knows it’s rare. The shit-for-brains doesn’t realize that all academic records are kept confidential. In fact, anybody with kid in college knows that these days, parents can’t get their children’s grades without the student’s permission.

The liberal media needs to vet that magna cum laude thing right away. That they just accept Harvard’s word for it shows they’re in the tank for our socialist muslim president.

Wait a minute – this woman writing in The American Stinker wants us to believe she’s smart?

That doesn’t make any sense.

I think it would be cool if alicia commented here and got disemvowelled.

I was commenting here earlier, but the whole experience just made me feel so soiled.

So I evacuated.

You ever been to Kansas?

Do you still believe the Earth is round?

“Scientists.” Meh.

I have to take issue with this post. The stupidity of the Colon piece is such that it deserves more than a “shorter” summary.

I dream of the day when voters pick their candidate based on substantial
evidence rather than oratorical prowess. I love the t-shirt on that East Valley student, Brandon Miller, that read, “Hitler gave good speeches, too.”

Didn’t Reagan give good speeches?

Or this, I just feel sorry for her:

My best friend is a highly intelligent woman who nonetheless fell for Obama because years ago he had come to her niece’s house in Chicago to thank her for her support in a local election. “He seemed very nice,” she told me. A good reason to vote for him to be the most powerful man in the world, right?

I have not spoken to her or to any of my other acquaintances who admitted that they had voted for “change” and “hope.” They certainly don’t want to be reminded that I had asked them in vain for concrete evidence that Barack Obama had ever done anything in his life besides run for president. I have lost patience with people who have lost the ability to think deeply about important issues.

Piteous.

Hell, babe, I give good speeches.

And I’m a certified loony with addiction issues…

yee hah!

mikey

Imagine- choosing a candidate because of the principles and vision articulated in his speeches. It really shows a decline in our public culture to pick a leader this way. After all, you never saw Churchill or Lincoln or Roosevelt or, say Ronald Reagan sway anybody with rhetoric.

I put “MENSA” AND “Aspberger’s Syndrome” in a search engine and got 2,220 hits.

Didn’t Reagan give good speeches?</I.

No, he provided us with inspiring oratory. That’s very different. You obviously are not a member of Mensa.

Stupid tags.

Honus, very true. I can’t believe I missed that.

Shorter Colon: Obama spoke to large groups of people and persuaded many of them to vote for him. This is truly frightening and Hitleresque for reasons so obvious I will not spell them out.

First return:

To quote Ron Low in the article: “Foreskin feels really good.” October 2007 – TLC Tugger presents Foreskin Restoration Speech to Mensa Convention …

Knowing a bunch of Mensa dweebs over the years has convinced me that the lion’s share of them believe the syllogism: “A: the smarter you are, the better a person you are; B: we’re smarter than everyone else; therefore C: we’re better than everyone else”. The only problem is that A and B are patently false.

By far, the most important quality necessary for membership in Mensa is insecurity. Membership enables one to believe that being marginally intelligent makes them a Nietzschean Ubermensch, and therefore, as much a pompous, clueless douchebag as they like.

IQ is a measure of the relative pace of childhood mental development. Anyone who thinks it’s a measure of adult intelligence is grasping at straws (and that’s putting it kindly).

Colon is a perfect example of all of this.

“When I joined in 1984, mine was in the top one percent so theoretically I’m smarter than Obama.”

It seems that in Colon World, it is mandatory to apply for Mensa membership and the membership lists are publicly available, so she can be certain that (a) Obama is not a member, and (b) he failed to make the cut.
Fortunately I live in Bimler World, where my monkey butler fills in the membership applications on my behalf.

Funny, PeeJ. Neat trick.

you don’t know what Obama’s IQ is.

Well, I know what it is because I saw it on a pop-up ad on the InterTubes. It’s like 135, which means Obama is dumber than I am because mine is 146, according to that same pop-up ad quiz. Therefore, I should be president, and in conclusion, EAT IT, COLON!!!11!!

She knows there’s one of those IQ test things at the bottom of the page her article is on, right? Well?

PeeJ’s “mind control” link is astounding. Every rumor in one place.

Allegedly.

“He flunked out of Divinity School.”

Al Gore attended classes in divinity school at Vanderbilt for a year prior to admittance to law school, according to Wikipedia, because of spiritual distress over having been in VIETNAM.

Gore attended Vanderbilt Divinity School on a yearlong Rockefeller Foundation scholarship for people planning secular careers; he had never intended to become a minister and later said that “he had hoped to make sense of the social injustices that seemed to challenge his religious beliefs.”[37] Gore left divinity school to work full time at the The Tennessean. His first child, Karenna Aitcheson Gore[38], was born on August 6, 1973.[35] A year later, he took a leave of absence from the The Tennessean and returned to graduate study, attending Vanderbilt University Law School from 1974 to 1976.

Don’t knock Mensa. According to their website, one of the benefits is a 20% discount for members when they stay at EconoLodge. Makes those yearly meetings so much more affordable.

You have just got to LOVE the Orwellian name of that site. If they are “thinkers,” I’mm Miss America.

(Note to wingtards; that was a joke. Please don’t start dropping me lines asking if I am looking for a good Christian man.)

I believe what this thread demonstrates is that if you’re cursed with “large intestine” for a surname, it’s best to go through life being not douchey.

The answer is clear – she just needs to get more fiber.
Or Ex-Lax.
“Shorter Colon” = WIN!

You know, I get a real laugh out of how passionate these Conservo-Idiots are about the whole very distant and vague connection between President Obama and Bill Ayers. I personally like Bill Ayers and wish Obama was more like him, but despite that wish, the fact remains that Obama is certainly no radical and his every move is as choreographed as a proper ballet; whereas the Bill Ayers and Ward Churchills’ of the world are real people who actually believe what they say and let their passions manipulate their tongues beyond the boundaries of prudence. Shit happens when you actually feel a passionate attachment to your cause, which makes for great people, but bad politicians.I love that this Colon[oscopy bag] has decided to imply that Obama has copied Ayers’ biography – if only that were true I might actually move back to the US. [My exit strategy: http://www.deport-a-commie.com LOL]

Don’t knock Mensa. According to their website, one of the benefits is a 20% discount for members when they stay at EconoLodge.

Do they offer health insurance?

So lemme get this straight.

Al Gore came back from combat in vietnam and tried to make sense of what he saw, and what he did, and what they said was right and what was wrong.

And he tried to get answers in a place of spirituality.

And some piece of shit who never had to bet it all on one spin of the wheel, who never had to see her friends die hard and slow and try to decide if the right answer was to lay down and die WITH them or to fight on and tell somebody, anyfuckingbody the story of what happened here this night?

Ahh. We live in fucked up times, my friends…

mikey

MzNicky: Facts? Really? I appreciate the optimism here, but these are people who think that Obama used mind control to hypnotize millions of Americans into voting for him. You couldn’t convince them water was wet if you had a firehose handy.

JollyRoger: Same as Fox “News”. They have to tell you they’re smart because it wouldn’t be evident any other way.

The obvious question-

If A. Colon is so smart, why isn’t she President?

From Conservatardia:

Charitable Giving

In the years 2000 through 2004, before becoming a United States Senator and being in the public spotlight, Obama gave 1% of his earnings to charity even though he made $250,000 per year. Since becoming a national figure, that amount has jumped to 6%. Obama’s small donations are consistent with atheism and were perhaps influenced by his nonbelieving mother. According to a study by the Barna Group, atheists give less per capita in donations than religious Americans.

Gaah, who writes this crap? Who even thinks of it, let alone toddles to Conservapedia to type it?

If A. Colon is so smart, why isn’t she President?

Because she’s an asshole?

mikey

Isn’t that job one as prez?

What happened with Colon and the New York Sun? Her last article there is from September 16, 2008. Did they can her?

Even better than the conservapedia page on Obama is the talk page where the finest minds in outer wingnuttia try to reconcile insanity with completeness:

Why no family section?

The Obama article has no family section. Neither does Clinton’s or Carter’s. However, Reagan’s, Bush the elder’s and W.Bush’s articles have them. Why none on the democratic presidents’? JohnKite 11:42, 28 January 2009 (EST)

There’s a simple answer: Obama, Clinton, and Carter are Democrats. They belong to an anti-family party, therefore their family is irrelevant to their political existence. Family is central to Republican policy, and so it is impossible to understand President Bush without mentioning his family. User:LatinScholar 1:36, 30 January 2009 (EST)

He has a family though, doesn’t he? JohnKite 13:47, 30 January 2009 (EST)

Yes, but a Democrat family, which is something entirely different. LatinScholar 2:22, 30 January 2009 (EST)

How about adding a family section now mentioning his half brother in Kenya who was arrested for drug possession? Shouldn’t there be something about him on the page? JohnKite 08:02, 1 February 2009 (EST)

This argument doesn’t make sense. If he’s “anti-family,” he wouldn’t have a family. I suppose by “anti-family,” you mean pro-abortion. That has nothing do to with whether to include his own family. A good encyclopedia doesn’t leave out information for reasons like this. It’s relevant and it should be here.Dantès 17:09, 2 March 2009 (EST)

Despite Dantes appeal to relative sanity, neither Obama nor Biden’s articles mention their families. I would have thought the bit about his half-brother would have made it in.

OT:

Unnnggghhh!
I sense a disturbance in the Force … a sound like that of multitudes of skinheads screaming in mortal anguish as they witness the very cornerstrone of their zeitgeist annihilated forever … & it sort of tickles.

According to a study by the Barna Group, atheists give less per capita in donations than religious Americans.

FYI, if one discounts giving to churches, atheists and “secular humanists” and whoever actually give more to charity than the superstitious (aka religionist) types.

If ya make me, I’ll dig up citations but until someone makes an issue out of it, poop off.

Her schedule was all backed up.

Sounds like it could use some pruning.

Just curious, was I banned for some reason? If so, that is fine (I still enjoy the blog), but I am wondering why precisely. My earlier post – the on topic one, about Bill Ayers vs. Obama – just vanished into space apparently. Peace, John S.

Relax, all you grammarians. Alicia and I both know the proper grammar. We also know colloquial patterns of speech and the necessities of headline writing.

But, is he aware of all Internet Traditions?!?!

Oh PeeJ, Churches are the only real charities, everything else is just a Scurrilous Sorosian Scam by greedy Globo-loving tree-huggers.

Ah, yes: Tell the pretty ones they’re smart, the smart ones they’re pretty, and the ones who are neither that they’re both. But when necessary to choose just one, go for the…pretty??

I’m a MENSA member, I just joined to prove to myself I could. Didn’t change my life any. I went to a couple of meetings, the talks were interesting but there were a lot of people who thought their opinions mattered more than others because they are members. I know I don’t know everything, I am just able to reason things out for myself rather well. I guess that’s why I’m not a conservative.

Same here. Plus the fact that when they hiked my dues, I realized I was too smart to pay $50/year just for a minor-league ego-boost and the occasional pub crawl that invariably ended in either some drunken old skeeze (admittedly with a better than average vocabulary, but still) trying to paw me, or else just plain old lonely awkwardness. Didn’t meet the love of my life there; didn’t launch a brilliant career; didn’t make a lifelong friend; nada. About all I gained was the searing insight that (a) I’m a frightfully good test-taker (duh!), and (b) scoring 98th percentile or better (in my case, 99th percentile) on the SCAT-II* doesn’t change a thing. You can get it all just as easily among the non-Mensans, and you’ll have $50 more to spend on beer to boot.

*yes, there really IS such a test; it stands for School and College Aptitude Test. You don’t have to be a Mensan to see the Colon-esque pun potential in that, eh?

I like how nowadays right wingers think it makes them sound better and more independent less crazy if they say “I’m more of the Libertarian kind of Republican”.

Fixed.

FTFY.

Well, after reading her column, I am stupider than I was before.

I am still smarter than Alicia Colon.

Dan D, I think LatinScholar is a troll. He only comments on two talk pages: Obama and George Washington. On both pages, he argues for more bullshit.

Behold!

He could just be an extra-strength wingnut, though. Getting harder to tell the difference.

Alicia Colon should realize that those with truly high IQs usually preface their comments with “ding dong dilly”. If she would adhere to this policy, she’d be taken more seriously.

And now for something completely different, a sausage horse.

You’ve seen those youtube clips of cats riding around on the back of a Roomba while it blunders blindly around the lounge, bouncing off the walls and furniture? That’s a reasonable depiction of Smut, on the average Sunday morning here at Maison d’Etre.

As an America-hating librul, I have to admit to relishing a bistecca di cavallo in Treviso. This would horrify many right-thinking ‘Murkins.

I won’t eat no horse, but I’ll eat me some steak tartare any ol’ day.

What is this, a ghost town?

The fact is, Obamas fans are just like with Hitler, they are brain washed and cannot think for themselves, but think they are so smart. Well here in the Heartland, we have authentic USA values.

What is this, a ghost town?

I was expecting something more like
this.

I think all the commenters have gone Galt. Except for Gary.

Tell me, Sadlynauts, how are you liking your Prezzy-dent so far?

Lessee, Obama lifts the ban on federally-funded stem cell research, only to reinstate the ban two days later and betray his leftwing base.

Wow. Obama sounds like your typical, pandering, duplicitous banana-republic Chicago politician. Whoda thunk it?

Of course there’s the Vivek Kundra bribery scandal, not to mention all the nominees who have been booted or withdrawn because they (as all rich Democrats) didn’t believe in paying taxes.

And don’t forget his reaffirming of FISA, his promise to “review” Gitmo instead of closing it immediately, his refusal to leave Iraq en masse, etc etc etc etc and on and on and on it goes. Your guy’s quite a piece of work, ain’t he?

So, are any of you Sadlynauts going to admit to this mocking wingnut troll that you regret voting for him? No no, of course not; pride dictates that you continue to voice your support publicly while you deride him privately. Behind closed doors. With the water running. But deride him you will.

So what tired internet cliche sums this up? Oh, here it is:

“Schadenfreude: It’s What’s For Dinner!”

4XB, that was exactly my first thought, but I’ve entirely too much time on my hands.

I took the Mensa exam back in grad school. Did well enough to apply. Decided that doing OK on the test was enough of an ego boost. Besides, I remembered that Issac Asimov wrote that he quite Mensa when he realized there were as many stupid people in Mensa as in real life. (paraphrase)

As for grades, hell, my university won’t even let me email a student to tell them their own grade, let alone tell somebody else. PRESIDENT Obama was chosen to be head of the Harvard Law Review, that says enough about how well he did in school for me. When one of Bush’s old professors came out in 2004 and recalled how shallow, reactionary and stupid Bush was in school, that the other students laughed at his comments because he was such an idiot and an asshole, the wingers all poo-poo’d it and said “who cares.” Now they’re up in arms because PRESIDENT Obama maybe got a B- in a class 20 years ago?

Lessee, Obama lifts the ban on federally-funded stem cell research, only to reinstate the ban two days later and betray his leftwing base.

Except of course, he did no such thing. Seriously, plug in the terms “Obama Reinstates Stem Cell” and you find nothing at all in Google.

But if you eventually widen your search terms to include all the dribblingly retarded Right Wing buzzwords, eventually using “flip flop” I did manage to find what is possibly The Truth’s original source. Are you ready for this? It’s “CNS”, or “The Conservative News Serivce: The Right News. Right Now.” And even their article states the following:

…. a law that explicilty bans federal funding of any “research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death.”

The provision was buried in the 465-page omnibus appropriations bill that Obama signed Wednesday. Known as the Dickey-Wicker amendment, it has been included in the annual appropriations bill for the Department of Health and Human Services every fiscal year since 1996.

Got that? So it’s an amendment to the law. By Dickey-Wicker. Which by it’s definition only targets embryos, which are something quite different from Stem Cells, indeed the research Obama has allowed may eventually lead to the complete cessation of usage of embryos at all as alternative sources are investigated.

But our obsessional, hate filled troll was hoping you wouldn’t spend the 1 minute it takes to educate yourself… just like he doesn’t. So rather than bother checking out just how honest the rest of his claims are, let’s just bask in the fact that his racist, ignorant ass is going to be forced to spend another 8 years lying about the liberal black man, who has achieved more than even the failed ideology he subsumed his identity into, to try and avoid the crippling sense of personal worthlessness he suffers from ever will.

And let’s just remind ourselves of that all time classic example of his political “wisdom”;

It is not going to happen, liberals. Your echo chamber is reverberating now with your shouts of victory before you’ve won a single state. I almost feel badly for you, because when McCain wins, your astonishment will be overwhelming. I say “almost” because your ideology is nasty, anti-free speech, and absolutist, and every decent person will sigh in relief when it goes down to defeat once more.

Here is how it will go down next week. First, the results from Virginia and North Carolina will come in, and they’ll be declared for McCain. You’ll be disappointed, but “no big deal, change can’t come overnight” will be your comment. Florida will go red, and a little nervousness will creep in. The usual suspects will fall into the usual categories. As the night drags on, Ohio, Colorado, and (much to your horror) Pennsylvania will be too close to call.

My advice at this point to you will be to go to bed. You will wake up to a McCain presidency and the Great Liberal Freakout will be on.

Bookmark this, liberals, as this is exactly how it is going to go down. You will be wonder how the hell I was able to call this.

http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/16107.html

Notice he’s so driven by rage he doesn’t even stop to think how pathetic it makes him look when everyone goes back to the same idiotic comment he originally made and which still torments him, and then spots he’s even obsessionally repeating the same words back at us to this date. Why, if he wasn’t so genuinely mentally ill, it would be schadenfreudelicious!

Ouch, remind me never to piss off whoever “The Authentic Truth Before His Dishonor” is…..

I’m listening to a real idiot parade on C-Span this morning. The call-in topic is “Do you trust TV business news?”

The end.

Without our deliberate annihilation at Stalingrad the entire history of the world would be different.

The whole of our Army were awarded the Order Of Lenin for our defence of the City of Stalingrad and the destruction of von Paulus’ 6th Army.

Every soldier who ever served in 62nd Army, from the almost 1 million soldiers assigned to Stalingrad in May 1942 to the mere hundreds remaining alive to celebrate victory in Feb 1943 were awarded the second highest decoration of the Soviet Union.

We won. They lost. You live your lives because we gave ours.

Ms. Colon, please post your SAT scores.

(Yes, I am aware of all Internet traditions.)

I’m listening to a real idiot parade on C-Span this morning.

The question being, “How do these wrongos still get on the air”?

Peeking in to cautiously inquire – – are the trolls all gone? Are they on vacation? Have the payments dried up or has Management figured out how to keep ’em out?

“Colon” means imbecile or rube in Canadian French.

…are the trolls all gone?

Well, Truthie still pops up (late to the party this time, but so am I), and his M.O. is still the same – spreading discontent and fear. After repeating the idiotic assertion that the President’s signing of the budget which included re-authorization of a ban on embryo research that’s been included in the budget since the mid-1990s negates the lifting of the ban on stem cell research, he reads off a litany of things Obama has done (or just talked about) that liberals may disagree with. He seems to think that the Left had some illusion of Obama being Dennis Kucinich, and since he’s NOT Kucinich after all, we should “go Galt” or something. The wingnut hordes can’t bring Obama down as long as his popularity remains high. So step one is to undermine that popularity, and that’s why Truthie is here.

Otherwise, Truthie and his ilk would be singing Obama’s praises for “negating” his own executive order, not going “blar-blar-blar stupid libs got PWNED!”

The whole point of the exercise is to soften support for Obama by liberals, so that we “regret voting for him!” What, were we supposed to vote for McSenile and Mooseburgers instead because Obama voted for FISA?

I didn’t vote for Obama in the primary. I did vote for him in the general, because we’re only offered two choices, and the choice was abundantly clear. In that light, I certainly don’t regret my vote.

Excuse me while I go translate haiku into Esperanto.

Worthy addition….

Of course, The Authentic Truth Before His Dishonor failed to address the other half-dozen shames that have befallen Obama (which things are just the tip of the iceberg).

Of course, he projects when he calls me mentally ill because it is he (and others) who insist that I am The Truth when I most assuredly am not.

Authentic, Paranoid Delusional Disorder can be treated, you know.

The fact is, I like to play in my own filth.

Are there any MENSA members out there who are actually smart? I have yet to read anything from one.

Isaac Asimov was Honorary Vice President of Mensa for saveral years

He never actually applied for membership, though.They contacted him and offered him the VP spot on the basis of his writing. He was a little embarrassed by the whole thing and felt that many Mensans were: “brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs”.

Gotta love a column disputing Obama’s intelligence that excludes the fact that he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. I doubt the Colon could pull that off.

But he’s black, which automatically means he benefited from affirmative action, rendering everything he does utterly worthless. Just ask Clarence Thomas.

Oops. Sorry about the double post. I never claimed to be a Mensa member.

I joined Mensa back when I was in my twenties, for the sole reason that I thought it would be a good way to meet smart, attractive women. I don’t think I’ve ever made a more severe miscalculation in my entire life.

I did learn one important thing, though– anybody who touts his Mensa membership is a grade-A asshole.

I’m always tickled by the knowledge that Mensa members never see the irony in the fact that they people hundreds of dollars a year to tell them how smart they are.

Beyond that, my mother has spent much of her career in gifted education, and people in that field, many of whom have high IQs themselves, absolutely hate Mensa because it’s largely pointless aside from facilitating mental masturbation for the not-really-so-smart members in the club for the sake of their own neuroses.
