Creep Learning Curve
One has to feel a kind of sympathy for wingnuts like Donald Douglas. It took the Right five long decades of trial-and-error to conclude that publicly trading in racial slurs was a self-defeating strategy … only to discover that the goalposts have been moved. That even when you scrupulously avoid using the word ‘nigger’ in the course of instructing Teh Blacks as to what’s good for them … it does not automatically immunize your argument in the marketplace of ideas.
And now, to add insult to injury, the very same people who invented the single, non-negotiable criterion for determining the inherent racism of a given sentiment — whether it references watermelons or not — flout that very rule with impunity.
It’s just not fair.
It’s downright vexing, to be honest. You humored the black hive mind when it indicated a certain hostility to Confederate flags and Sambo jokes. You spent long, thankless years purging your vocabulary of epithets that would directly offend, developing instead a second-order language of codes and inferences that would simultaneously protect the simple-minded collective from verbal injury while communicating important matters to your peers.
And that’s not all. You’ve worked very hard to hone your value proposition to the dusky vertical, to persuade that demographic that its interests better synergize with your conservative outlook than with the liberal agenda. Take fags … please! We conservatives hate ’em too, you patiently explain. Also, Larry Elder! Thomas Sowell! Bill Cosby! Star Parker! Does the Left have an equivalent roster of genuine African-American scolds who so tirelessly browbeat blacks as a class with such naked relish? Hardly! And how, you wonder, is this not a winning formula for wooing those same blacks to your cause?
Yet somehow, beyond all earthly reason, it is not. And that hurts.

Hey PeeJ: Wanna talk about racism in baseball?
Now let me see… what’s this new thread about, I wonder.
I see what you’re doing here, D. You’re trying to get me to click through on that link! Good try but I’m not doing it. Nope, I …willl….not….
Click on Roy’s link at the end … he sums it all up better than me anyway.

That wasn’t bad at all! It’s fun to watch them venting their noxious fumes in impotent rage. Fun as in fun. And funny.
BWAHAHAHA

I have to say I sure am glad I didn’t click on the link and see the big picture of Sambo with a piece of watermelon. You know, I had never really thought about racism on the Left before Donald pointed it out, but now that he mentions it, even though I’m a left-winger, I still hate and fear coons, dinks, zipperheads, spics, wetbacks, flips, nips, japs, chinks, and dagos. But only because of the fags.
Clearly some self-examination is in order. I’ll go find my latex gloves.
it does not automatically immunize your argument in the marketplace of ideas.
So there is one of those mobile clinics that administers vaccines, and sometimes it’s there in the marketplace offering the flu shots… but other times you find a different mobile clinic there, the one that offers your argument a free mammogram? OK.
Zwitterion.
Donald Douglas is totally disbigoted in pointing out that the bigots are bigotting the debigotted and beracisized rebigotted exbigots!
And the homos!
Creeps never learn.
the one that offers your argument a free mammogram
It’s just a guess, but I bet you have lots of people who find those arguments interesting and want to subscribe to your newsletter.
Also, the Wikipedia article on the NSDAP is clearly racist. It has a big swastika right up top.
“One has to feel a kind of sympathy…”
Does this kind include braying laughter and thrown tomatoes?
Sez D. McDonnell Douglas to alla youse:
You have no class, sir, with all the due respect that can possibly be afforded to someone of your denialist nihilist licentiousness and intolerance of difference.
Oh, snap!
The fact is, follow my tweets you stupid liberals, maybe you will learn something
What they seem to want is an army of Black and Latino Michelle Malkins. Are they still unfamiliar with the concept of blowback?
While we’re on the subject of race,isn’t it kind of interesting that the hippies were all peace and love and the brotherhood of man and never had a racist branch of their subculture, but the stoopid punk bitchiz, on the other hand, were all aggro and spawned the racist skinheads?
No one could have anticipated…
…the hippies were all…the stoopid punk bitchiz, on the other hand, were all…
20th century music history fail.
The fact is, the fags and blacks do not need special rights.
What they seem to want is an army of Black and Latino Michelle Malkins.
I think it’s more that they’re seeking a new reliable base of voters they can send off to the polls; a new faction to go along with their evangelists and their populists that’ll push them past the 50%+1 they need again.
And that’s not all.
Oh, no.
That is not all…
Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have to know how.

Facts, liberals. New concept for, I know
I don’t know why those silly black people can’t see that the party that actively tries to block them from voting only has their best interests at heart.
AH IZ GUILTY TOO
oh the shame
fags and blacks do not need special rights.
The fact is, we’re getting more special rights every day. SUCK IT BEOTCH!
And Pere dint neven get cited by Donny Douglas. Oh the perfidy!
Repeated from the end of the Buckley-in-the-Pooper mega-thread. Why? Because SHUT UP, that’s why!
I think it’s more that they’re seeking a new reliable base of voters they can send off to the polls…
Right, but to get there, they need Malkin-types who will reliably say despicable shit about how it’s Liberal America that’s responsible for generational crimes committed by White Conservative men.
Here’s Pantload applying the concept to building the “ideal Republican candidate.”

ooooh, according to the ad on that page I can turn my “fiat money” into gold! Wheee! Transform your paycheck into a form that no one outside of money cranks like you will accept! Hoard gold for the collapse of society that never seems to come no matter how much we predict it!
“ok, I see. Your bosses won’t give you health care, and you want to make sure no one else does, either. Ok, then, have a nice day!”
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
that warms the cockles of my cold leftist racist heart
ooooh, according to the ad on that page I can turn my “fiat money” into gold!
I thought that said “flat money,” and I wondered why that was a problem? Fits real nice in my wallet.
Can someone please explain to me what a “special right” is? It strikes me as a meaningless phrase that it would be fun to see a wingnut try to explain, a la “Islamofascism”.
Jennifer, what kind of reaction do you get from people when you say you’re with ACORN? Anyone tried to threaten you with bodily harm for the massive voter fraud that got that usurper Obongo “elected” president?
A special right, in Republican world, means that fags, darkies, and other non-whites are spared oppression, violence against their persons, and institutional discrimination.
Not allowed to burn a cross on your black neighbor’s lawn? Well, clearly that means black people have special rights.
From the Wingnut and Fried Food Lexicon:
Special right [spesh-uhl rahyt], noun, any state-sanctioned exemption to mandatory execution as required by the Holy Bible.
commie atheist – depends on who I’m talking to as to how I introduce myself. With white folks, particularly in this particular part of town, I say I’m with the Health Care for America Now (HCAN) coalition. Which is true – ACORN is a part of that coalition. With black folks and Hispanics, I just say I’m out doing work for ACORN. Some of them know us and have positive past experiences with us, and the rest pretty much have never heard of how we’re the evil anti-Christ, because they don’t listen to nutty radio talkshows or watch FOX news. No threats of any type of harm from anyone, but after just yesterday, I know that when working in this part of town, if it’s a middle-aged white guy running the store, 9 times out of 10 they’re going to be wingnut. It’s a total Archie Bunker syndrome going on there.
A robber breaks in to your home and steals your TV. A criminal act.
An armed robber takes money from a bank. A criminal act.

You ask a lot of stupid questions. Sub-normal intelligence?
No and no.

It’s been said before, many times, many ways, but that Jonah Goldberg (as linked above) is as dumb as a sack of rocks that have been smashed into tiny pieces by a bag of hammers.
Such typical illusions held by people who blame their own lack of self actualization on a conspiracy of power to keep them down. Sadly, it’s fostered by a conspiracy of power to keep them down – by the left. Those on the right believe that with less interference by government, we can all achieve more. Those on the left think that most cannot achieve on their own, and must have help from them which they use to justify taking property from those who have achieved in order to do so. Thus, they make the underachievers dependent on them, so they can continue to hold power. The folks on the right are trying to stop a conspiracy from taking power, those on the left are trying to take power and hold it. Those on the right can identify the people that are trying to take away freedom. Those on the left usually blame faceless groups and corporations.
So, wake up and smell the coffee.

The government takes money from your paycheck by force.
Yes. And if you don’t believe it, I haz photos. Stupit paycheck forcers.
Also, another cool thing about the ACORN job is that it sends me to a lot of places that I as a single middle aged, middle class white woman would never go. I can’t tell you how many black barbershops I’ve been in over the past several weeks. It’s a bit of a mind freak because first of all, you go in and you’re the only female in the place. And then, you’re the only white person in the place, and everyone is looking at you like “what is this white girl doing in here?” I mean, I really stick out like a sore thumb in a lot of the places I go, sorer in some than others. I signed up several barbershops and a tattoo parlor yesterday – the tattoo parlor was fun, the guys were really cool.
A white guy wearing a suit ruins millions of people’s retirement funds, puts thousands out of work, & gets his political allies in the gov’t. to bail him out. Capital crime?
Yes, in both senses.
“A white guy”
Yet another liberal loser plays the race card. I believe that’s record time, too!
*applause*
So, wake up and smell the coffee.
Sorry, that’s not coffee; that’s Charles Dickens’ corpse. He’s been dead for about 150 years now, and did such a frightfully good job of illustrating the fruits of rapacious capitalism that for all smart people and most literate ones, the idea of that type of society as the ideal died with him.
And you bit right at it.
Now that you’ve performed your act, thanks, we’ll call you.

Keep Crying to Daddy Government said,
On behalf of all nanny-state big-spending fascist libruls everywhere, I wish to thank the Republican party for mainstreaming enormous spending, ridiculously expanding state surveillance powers, and – last but by no means least – being so dumb as to hand it all to us once it was built.
If I said “a black man robbed me” I’d hear howls of “racism” from liberal losers, moochers, and other assorted “progressives”.
How many of you are on welfare or live in your mommies basement?
I get all my welfare from ACORN. It’s my payoff for helping them make your butt hurt.
I mean, did a black guy actually rob you?
I think Ryan’s stumbled on to the next rightwing meme:
Obama’s the guy in the alley mugging them.
What happened to disemvoweling? BRING BACK THE DISEMVOWLER!
If you got robbed, clearly you were asking for it by flaunting your wealth.
“I mean, did a black guy actually rob you?”
Yes. And so will Obama when he raises taxes. It’s just a mugging.
Crying, isn’t it tiresome trying to cloak your racism behind all that bloated rhetoric? Isn’t it hard remembering all the code words?
Just put on the white robes and be done with it.
Yes.

S,N! needs better trolls. Slapping down these low-end models is a bit too much like Cheney’s pampered Yuppie “clip the wings first so I don’t have to work so hard” version of “hunting”.
I guess he doesn’t like baseball.
Further proof that it hates America, & all she stands for.

At least Cheney knew how to hunt and didn’t ask for “spicy french mustard” with a hamburger.
So, how bout them Red Sox?
You’re welcome to list for us the non-white…
Well, to be honest, the guy at Citi has a brownish hue.
So, how bout them Red Sox?
Adorable, especially the ones with separate little different-color toes.
Slapping down these low-end models is a bit too much like Cheney’s pampered Yuppie “clip the wings first so I don’t have to work so hard” version of “hunting”.
In our defense, our aim is much better than Cheney’s. And also, we don’t keep the trolls caged and release them to shoot at them – they just show up. Kind of like the animals do in real hunting. Granted, they aren’t really smart animals, so it’s still not anything like a fair fight – more like the extinction of the dodo, which didn’t know any better than to be afraid of people and get away from them rather than walking up to them.
“Keep Crying to Daddy Government”. THAT rolls off the tongue. Troofus is to SN as Glenn Beck is to alcohol, and I suspect both are off the wagon.
Isn’t Citi owned by some of those Saudi fellers who are already stealing our oil by living atop it & making us pay for it?

What is it with these ijits and gold? Let me tell you something, maroons: when you succeed in bringing on the Mad Max Libertarian utopia you want so much, you’ll discover that since you can’t eat, fuck, or get drunk on gold, it’s going to be abso-fucking-lutely worthless to you.
I know no one on this blog will care in the slightest, but our close ally, the conservative Colombia that is the good anti-Venezuela has been and will continue to be our largest recipient of military aid in the hemisphere.
And we love, love their conservative President Alvaro Uribe. We (i.e., the good people who count like Washington Post editors) compare him to the evil Hugo Chavez, who once acted brusquely to a TV broadcasting station which encouraged the overthrow of the elected government which replaced Chavez with the head of the Chamber of Commerce.
Okay.
Like, 1/3 of their conservative Congress is in jail or under investigation for being linked to the right wing narco-paramilitary death squads.
Uribe’s re-election campaign manager, who then became the head of their equivalent of ‘Homeland Security’ in the middle of a still-raging civil war, was then arrested for directly working with the narco-paramilitaries.
Now, Uribe’s former re-election manager and head of the national security regime is under investigation for directly ordering the paramilitary murder of a professor and two union leaders, while every day the newspapers publish stories about people killed by the military whom the military then falsely claimed were left-wing guerrillas so that the military could (a) up their kill count and (b) kill the street poor.
And our fucktards in the U.S. establishment go around moaning because Hugo Fucking Chavez nationalizes industries by actually buying out the owners?
What the fucking fuck is wrong with us that we put up with this shit from our god damned idiot ‘establishment’?
God damn it, if Evo Morales (Bolivia) or Rafael Correa (Ecuador), much less Hugo Chavez, were anywhere near these kinds of charges we’d be bombing already. Instead, we’re happy to keep giving Colombia money, weapons, training, and even electronic surveillance equipment that was used by the security agency to spy on politicians, businessmen, journalists, and rights workers.
I get so tired of this shit. Not as much as the 2+ million internal refugees in Colombia. But tired of it.
Muslin mustard wave!!1 Google it, libs.
Muslin Mustard
Is that the scarf that Rachael Ray wore and got the wingnuts all head-assplodey?
Keep Crying to Daddy Government – spent the tax cut Obama sent you already?
Yes. On a black male prostitute. Hence certain of my obsessions.

Face it, when you are a member of a political group that has such stellar leaders as Cheney, Limbaugh, Cantor, Boehner, and Bush, it’s pretty difficult to find others to look down upon.
didn’t ask for “spicy french mustard” with a hamburger
Could you imagine what the wingnuts would be saying if President Obama had asked for cock sauce on his burger?
El Cid:
But, but, but!
Supporting Colombia is a Reaganite tradition! By supporting right-wing Latin American fascists with their fingers thick and deep within the bowels of the drug cartels, we can insure the war on drugs continues *forever*! The DEA will never be out of work and our prison system will be forever filled with a sizable percentage of people who aren’t even American citizens.
And should we ever need to face the fact that we’re backing up the cartels that we’re “fighting”, well, we’ll just blast Van Halen at the Colombian president’s office until he gives up, we arrest *him*, and let the cartels just continue.
It’s a perfect plan!
Clearly you’re too wrapped up in supporting Hugo Chavez and the Moscow U. Players to see the wisdom and cunning in this. It’s people like you who think the fact that we’re supporting the people in Afghanistan with the drug rings, while broadcasting commercials about pot sellers in Napa being responsible for financing 9/11 is somehow hypocritical.
I’m sure if George W. Bush had asked for salsa on his hamburger they would have told us it was proof of his Texan manliness and rugged cowboy individualism.
I got a huge kick out of the mustard kerfuffle.
I was born next door to Illinois, and grew up eating mustard on cheeseburgers; it’s delightful. When I moved to New York City, I found this was considered strange; so bizarre, in fact, that when I asked a server for mustard with my burger, I had to ask several times. The request would simply drop out of their heads.
Funny thing is, in Texas, you have to ask for your burger without mustard iffen you doan want none.
If only I could taste that yummy man right back.
mustard kerfuffle
I usually put garlic-infused olive oil and balsamic onegar on my kerfuffle.
In Soviet Russia, the kerfuffle mustards you!
(Well, speaking of self-abuse … last time I posted was after working all night – which sucked an unusually tremendous boatload of dog-dick – & THAT failed, so now I’m posting before my first coffee of the day … what could possibly go wrpng?)
Damn you good-time-charlie liberals for keeping teh black man down with your elitist Affirmative Action, integration, legal aid & social housing – damn you all to hell!
When will those naive deluded ni-, um, er, blacks see that the people caging their votes, telling them what libidinous lazy thieves they are & strapping them to gurneys in record numbers are their REAL friends & only want what’s BEST for them?
Oh the inanity!
what could possibly go wrpng?
Pwned!
(actually I assume that was intentional, but I couldn’t resist.)

Cue troll telling anyone who’ll listen that Hitler, Bull Connor, George Wallace, Jesse Helms, Bill the Butcher and Sauron were far left in three… two…
Dammit, I was just starting to think they’d let me get some rest.
They left my “down with coons!” comment over there on American Power. I think that’s kind of fun.
Anybody notice how very, very long and didactic a lot of the comments are on right-wing blogs? These guys must be a nightmare to deal with at family gatherings.

In NZ we like our kerfuffle sprinkled with realgar. Tourists just have to get used to this.
The owner of an expensive kerfuffle-sniffing dog says Kapiti Coast District Council is threatening to seize her highly trained canine after a single barking complaint.
Are truffles indigenous to your antipodean homeland, or were they introduced?
I got a huge kick out of the mustard kerfuffle.
What I find striking is how very hamfisted their delivery has gotten. Until quite recently they were very deft at delivering stupid memes in a way that was palatable to at least a respectable percentage of the electorate. But it’s really quite amazing how often their messaging instincts are failing them these days. Yes, by all means, do try and convince Americans that the very affordable, fucking delicious condiment that rests on the shelves of probably the majority of refrigerators nationwide is a very bad thing indeed. Good luck with that.
born beautiful, not rich
Hey, so was I!
If only I could recapture those heady days of having cute young lassies fawning over my thermonuclear levels of cuteness, back when I lacked the hormones to enjoy it (LOL, irony).
Too bad I lost the “beautiful” at puberty & am too greed-challenged for the “rich” … hell’s bunions, what with the null-set social life, recurring rage & latent schadenfreude-fetish, if it wasn’t for my persnickety aversion to having an icepick scrape away my neocortex, I’d make a dandy wingnut.
Hey, I just noticed that Josh Trevino, aka Tacitus, aka Lightsaber Boy, is blogging again.
http://joshuatrevino.com/
Are truffles indigenous to your antipodean homeland…?
They were introduced by the Ministry for Taking Metaphors Literally, so that the blind pig population would have something to find.
Here we eat our burgers with Naked Relish, and we do not understand why anyone would use it to “tirelessly browbeat blacks as a class”.
There’s no telling the idiotic things wingnuts with no useful skills* complain about on any given day.

Smut, on re-reading that article, I would suggest that the dog went Galt.
I see Treviño has constructed a new lightsaber. His skills are complete.
The line about a grassroots surge is telling. In any event, I think I’d prefer to go with Ari Fleischer Sports Communications, even if my future marketing needs may not be sports related.
I can’t quite remember why the Ministry for Taking Metaphors Literally introduced pigs into NZ. It was either so we could make their ears into silk purses, or so we could give them pearl necklaces.
No it was the Offensive Nicknames department because ‘Rozzers’ just sounded weird.
Can one make a truffle trifle, add mustard and convert it to a kerfuffle?

Thank you, Mr. Justice Clarence the Clown Thomas for clarifying this whole civil rights thing.
Are we seriously talking politics, or are we just gabbing now? I had a thing happen to me today, I wrote about it on my blog. Fer now, only – limited time offer – I’m linking to my blog.
Ha ha.
Clarence Thomas takes something told to a child to keep the child from losing all hope, or even, in the case of a clever child, helping him see through the syupidity, & the child isn’t one of the clever ones, & yet, after allegedly becoming an adult, still takes the happy, child-like view of Jim Crow.
And that child today? A Supreme Court Justice.
Proving once again that “empathy” has nothing to do w/ one’s skin tone.
Conservatives constantly whine about how Affirmative Action results in mediocre black people being given jobs they aren’t qualified for just because they’re black. And yet, the only mediocre black person I can name that got a job just because he was black is Clarence Thomas, and conservatives gave him his job.

…that is central to their point?
Oh.
Are you talking about Unitary Executive here, to whom you have surrounded all your rights so that it could keep you safe of evil terrists that go bump in the night and make you soil your diapers?
That’s a good question. As long as Giuliani started as governor of New York building an army of death squads to fight alongside the army, which did indeed manage to stabilize crime in the cities but left millions of farmers displaced in the countryside as large rural New York landowners paid the death squad armies to run off peasants? ‘Cause that would be pretty similar.
And also if earlier Giuliani happened to be the official responsible for approving civilian plane licensing & operation during a time when the narcotraffickers depended on flights to ship their products.
And sorry you had to see that accident, g. Hopefully the girl is all right.
Tax is theft! How dare anyone allow us to elect officials to represent us who then jointly decide how it is our government will pay for itself! That’s unfair! Somebody needs to stop letting us elect people! Clearly we’re unresponsible types.
I suck.
…justify taking property from those who have achieved…
In 1830 there were 23 miles of railroad in the U.S.
Clearly we’re unresponsible types.
Well, yeah, this is central to their point, that poor folks are bought off by gummint cheese or something, & we’ll all vote ourselves the treasury in “entitlements” rather than drift off on that ice floe first time we get a cold & we’re over 60.
It really is central to their (increasingly anti-democratic) point.
M. Bouffant: If only we could all be crusading Galtian capitalists who had achieved success and riches purely by the exertion of our awesomeness without ever having had to parasitize off of a society built and constructed and supported by types who recognized that shitty, cheap, unconstructed societies don’t really go anywhere.
On the other hand, G.W. Bush’s path through life was the epitome of meritocracy.
If I was really motivated I would log into Dread State and point out in a reply how they are supporting a SOCIALIST program and knocking Obama for NOT being a socialist. Also they make these two statements in the post.
The latter statement implying that if Obama cuts the program child number 1701 loses out. Which ignores the fact that the former statement already tells us that child number 1701 along with children 1702 through 6800 have already lost out. I guess if you can’t make them 3/5ths of a citizen the next best thing is to only educate 1/4 of them.
But, but, but!
Supporting Colombia is a Reaganite tradition!
So is supporting Saddam Hussein.
And ketchup as a vegetable.
And ketchup as a vegetable.
But is spicy brown mustard a vegetable?
christ. It just hit me this morning – mustard is what the Right is all in a panty-twist about?
That’s… that’s just pitiful.
No, unfortunately, the right wing is not all upset about mustard.
Rather, it’s another one of those weird minor insults that they will harbor for years as some insider joke to pull out, just like the way they say “Naaaancy Peh-LOH-si!!!” like the name in itself is some terror-bringing scare word.
If you don’t get it, you’re not one of them.
For which most of us can be grateful.
But not just any mustard. It’s anti-American pro-terremist Dijon (see a FRENCH word) mustard. Or even worse anti-American, pro-terremist and elitist Grey Poupon. (see another FRENCH word) If Obama were not a secrit Mooslim socialist commie abortionator he would use good old
French’sFreedom’s mustardQ: Will sales in dijon mustard climb significantly, as it has become apparent that the current popular President prefers it?
We should rename that statue the cheese eating surrender monkeys gave us (you know, the one in the middle of the New York Harbor) something more Amurkan sounding.
How about the Statue of Freedom™?
It just occured to me that since I don’t like dijon mustard I must be a (shudder) secret Republican. Although, I also don’t like yellow mustard so maybe I’m actually a secret Libertarian. Oh my, what am I doing on this liberal blog? Am I really a secret troll? I need to go and try to think this through. (My theory being-if I CAN think it through I am definitely not a secret Republican.)
I am intrigued by M. Bouffant’s idea about handling our Social Security crisis with ice floes.
I can hear the wingnut take echoing through the blogosphere (Skippy!) right now:
Hypothermia is a very peaceful death. They will be happy to know that instead of being mired in a pill-popping, non-Galtean existence with a drawn-out and expensive final illness, they will be whisked to Alaska, fed early, and allowed to choose any ice flow they want.
Of course, with wingnuts in charge, we will have a shortage of ice floes. Better pay contractors billions of dollars to make them.
Excellent post, D. Aristotle No!-nassis. Last two grafs especially.
Wasn’t it just a few years ago the Heinz Ketchup was some kinda Wingnut ZOMGWTF? Evidently, distributing condiments (IN SCHOOLS!!!) is weakening our moral fiber… or something?

I find this is a mobius of neologistic meaning. I can’t stop laughing.
Don’t mind me.

And you kiss your mother with that mouth, mister?
When wingnuts go to the stores and discover that the best-selling, all-American yellow mustard in the country is named French’s, will their heads explode?
Wyatt, we are all hoping for it but no one is holding their breath.
I ran across an interesting mustard story the other day.

Has a bit of Grey Poopoo history.
Rather, it’s another one of those weird minor insults that they will harbor for years as some insider joke to pull out, just like the way they say “Naaaancy Peh-LOH-si!!!” like the name in itself is some terror-bringing scare word.
I had a co-worker/friend during the mid-80s, around when Ferdinand Marcos and his wife were deposed, and the story of Imelda’s collection of shoes came out.
We did a lot of work with various ethnic communities, among which was the Filipino-American community. And everytime we talked about them, he came out with these totally off the wall jokes about shoes.
Totally inappropriate then, but years later, he was still doing it – literally, anytime anyone mentioned the Phillipines he’d talk about shoes – even the slender thread that once linked the joke had totally broken. He was in the beginning stages of Alzheimers, which I didn’t realize until later. But anytime I hear things like the teleprompter jokes, I remember Larry and his Filipino shoe jokes, and how anyone who heard them would get a WTF? look on their face.
Speaking of shoes, ever notice that only stoopid bitchiz wear Doc Martens?
ever notice that only stoopid bitchiz wear Doc Martens?
Well, orange water given bucket of plaster and magenta on your upside crate.
Translation: all those hot punkette chicks wearing Docs refuse to fuck me, and they laugh in my face when I hit on them. So they’re all soopid bitchiz.
So they’re all soopid bitchiz.
Or maybe they’re soooooper geeenyouses.
Maybe concerned citizen can give The Fool lessons on how to be an alpha male so he can finally score himself a hot punk chick.

During the big “Old Europe” wingnut foam-flecked frenzy of ’04, French’s ran some very submissive ads about how “There’s nothing more American than French’s!” for that very reason. I can’t exactly blame them; I’m sure they were getting the usual torrent of death threats and all, but it was kind of icky.
Bland bright yellow mustard IS icky.
In other news, cat fight!
I’d say the average hippie chick is a lot hotter than the average punk chick so I’ll stay with my own kind. Besides those punk chicks have too many diseases. On the other hand its a lot easier to get the punk chicks in bed so I guess I’ll just go with whatever targets of opportunity arise.
Lawnguylander:
Dude, I think you need to take one of those self-esteem promotion classes. If you have to outsource the schooling to concerned citizen what does that say about you, bro? lol
Blart! Also.
I find this is a mobius of neologistic meaning. I can’t stop laughing.
But are you laughing WITH the “wrpng” … or are you laughing AT the “wrpng”?
Consider your answer carefully – our very future as a species may depend upon it.
I want to be fucked in the ass by a punk chick with a strap-on.
Sexist dumbasses?
Sexist dumbasses?
Closet power bottoms.
The Fool’s told you before about his up on the backstroke style. But that’s not favourite sexual technique. The Fool doesn’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say it involves a ten-pound zucchini, a jar of KY, and The Fool’s asshole.

I’d say beetle jimmy waiting bother yellow ungulant viper Saturday!
Listen to yourselves! You’re not listening to them, they are telling you to listen to them. They have listened to American blacks/Black Americans/African Americans/Canadians wants and desires and they have determined what’s wrong with all of the aforementioned. Now they are ready for you to listen to them directly, and to not listen to liberals tell you who to listen to. They are explaining to you, in slow measured tones with short words, things they have thought of that you should listen. To. Listen to them tell you what is wrong with you, because that’s what true friends do. That’s also what jerk-off assholes do, but these guys are true friends and not jerk-off assholes. That’s what they say. Listen to me, I’m telling you what they’re saying instead of letting you listen to what they’re saying. Don’t listen to me telling you to listen to them. Listen to them!
Indeed. I suggest a listening tour.
The Fool doesn’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say it involves a ten-pound zucchini, a jar of KY, and The Fool’s asshole.
And a running start……

Ah yes. A listening tour! Oh, but not a mundane listening tour where we go around listening to you. Oh no no no, that won’t do. This will be a marvelous listening tour where we go around so you can listen to us. But we will not bore you with our own mundane ideas. Certainly not! We will regale you with the wisdom of Our Lord Limbaugh. Won’t that just be devine!

The last time I had sex, Giuliani (*) was the Republican front-runner, so take my advice… please! I’m a normal looking overeducated liberal who can’t even get laid in Seattle. If you are taking girl advice from me, your life has taken a seriously wrong turn somewhere. But I hear punk chicks like those “rocker” bracelets. You know, with the spikes on them.
Let me point out that that stupid thread about alpha maleness was possibly the first in this blog’s history to get to 500 posts without significant trolling. And all it took was to get people riled up about one of the left’s own. (And BTW, despite the fact I wish she would never ever use the word “choad” again, that Amanda Marcotte is one classy lady.)
When was the last time we had a really great circular firing squad? I vaguely recall some flapdoodle and kerfuffle about Kevin Drum or Matt Yglesias a few years back, but other than that, maybe Dean taught us too well. (PUMAs don’t count, obviously.) We’ll be out of power some day, so we need to not forget how to do it. Seeing the Republicans try to pull it off is a stark reminder of just how good we libtards used to be at it.

(*) Yes, El Cid, I know about Uribe. Giuliani seems cut from the same cloth as him in my mind. There are no death squads in the US, silly. It was a metaphor, not an allegory. If Giuliani and Uribe changed bodies, Freaky Friday style, what do you think would change?
What if Ayn Rand wrote Into the Wild?
Don’t forget about being chewed apart by the polar bear.
The end.
concerned citizen: Giuliana might very well have been an Uribe had he been in Colombia.
@Faux Fool:
You know, just knowing that you’re having an impact is it’s own reward, and clearly I have had an impact on you. And a profound one at that.
Not only have you entered my whole rap about the up-on-the-backstroke technique into long term memory and retrieved it long after I had forgotten about it, you can’t seem to stop thinking about my johnson and penetrating my asshole. It’s kind of creepy how obsessed you are. But at the same time it’s very flattering.
Thank you Faux Fool. Thanks again for reminding me about the whole up-on-the-backstroke thing, because I’d forgotten how much people around here needed some foolish sex-ed.
And remember, Faux Fool: abstinence is not realistic! But even abstinence will work better for you than fantasizing about my johnson all the time.
later bitchez!
While we’re reprising golden oldies, here’s a blast from the past when I using “Feste” as my nom de guerre to avoid erasure:
Still more tired nonsense
That Faux Feste done wrote
Has got me thinkin’
He’s a johnny one-note
Faux Feste ain’t got nothin’ of his own to say
Except hatin’ on those who love to play
The Real Feste’s busy
carving out a niche
While Faux Feste ain’t nothing…
but a stoopid punk bitch
And another:
So many people
wanna try to be me
But Feste’s no molesta
He’s just tryin’ to be free
Lots of jealous sadlynauts
be hatin’ his playin’
But they just stoopid punk bitchiz
if you know what I’m sayin’
Awww, two lovely little songs you wrote for me! That’s sweet. Not that I’m getting to you, no, not at all…
By the way, I still really hate women! Just so everyone remembers that, too.
This is a true story, no shit, intended to teach the punk bitchiz here an important life lesson:
Once, I met this chick at a punk bar I used to hang out at when it was like Tuesday night and nothing much was going on anywhere else. You know — bottom feeding for some skanky punk chicks. Anyway, she wanted it real bad. So we went back to my house and, after she read me a bunch of her bad punk poetry, I introduced her to my patented up-on-the-backstroke technique.
I had her buns-up kneelin’
I was wheelin’ and dealin’
She surrendered to the feelin’
And she started into squealin’
Anyway, to make a long story short, I only had 2 rubbers. We rolled aruond for a few hours but 2 rubbers was all I had. At that point she was beggin’ me — and I mean begging me — to do her bareback.
And herein lies the moral of the story for all you stoopid punk bitchiz: I wouldn’t do it.
Here’s the takeaway:
1) NEVER bang a punk chick without a rubber. If you do that, you might as well share her needle too.
2) Stock up on rubbers
3) Learn the up-on-the-backstroke technique and make the world a happier place.
That’s all. Later stoopid punk bitchesses.
“Wingnut foam-flecked frenzy of ‘04?. Win.
I got the year wrong for that particular frenzy – “Old Europe” was ’03 – but they were just as rabid about other stuff in ’04 so it only reinforces my point.
Thankyew.
