Kyrie Eliason
Mildly line-editing an Atrios item, etc. (Dep’t of Corrections):
WaPo:
Randall D. Eliason, who headed public corruption prosecutions in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington, said Fitzgerald would not go through the trouble of repeating information to a new grand jury unless he is considering criminal charges or there are significant, potentially criminal matters he wants to resolve.
“The fact that Fitzgerald is going through the effort to re-present is certainly a sign that the investigation is active,” Eliason said.
Sub: “‘The fact that Fitzgerald is going through the effort to re-present [hi-hats, cue wicked beat] …ta re-prazent Jus-tice, front o’ tha G-O-P/ Sayin’ f*ck obstruction and per-jury/ You wanna step ta someone, then step ta me/ I got a grand jury or maybe three/ I’m US-legal like a bald eagle, rappin’ law-Creole, got a eye on the keyhole for Valerie P./ An’ indictments pre-drafted for Rove and Che-ney/ An’ if you think ya [record scratch] …is certainly a sign that the investigation is active,’ Eliason said.”
Yep, it certainly seemed too quiet for awhile there.
“Witness The Whiteness”
Not to bait Rowan, or any of the neo-Nazis, but is the “color” of his skin (or lack thereof) one of the things you guys want him to apologize for?
Aha, I was changing the placeholder pic to a Photoshop thing when you wrote.
Nope, but Rove on the mic would be a disastrous thing. He’s white like THAT.
Yo, Gavin, I know there’s not a prejudiced bone in your body, and for all I know, you may even be white yourself, but isn’t “white like THAT,” a euphemism for what may seem to some white folk to represent the equivalent of the “N” word?
Well, I’m actually a mutt of white and polar-indigenous.
So Eskimo Pies — yes, that could be ‘offensive,’ perhaps.
The ‘n-word’ is ‘nigger,’ right? There’s that whole slavery thing to consider. I think that’s pretty major.
Okay, Gavin, I’ll let you slip and slide all over that polar ice this time, but only because I’m from Canada, the Great White (no pun intended) North, myself.
Well, in terms of slipping and sliding on ice, there’s a phrase in the old ancestral home-tongue that’s something like, “Suksi vittuun, kusip??!”
Vernacular Finnish is a language extraordinarily rich in vulgarity. It’s sort of the national treasure, unless you count Sibelius.
Daaaaaaaaaamn!
Gavin, what do you think about me doing a a cover of Paul Simon’s 1978 hit, “Slip Slidin’ Away,” but call it “Suksi vittuun, kusipaa!”? Do you think I could do the song, and your people justice? Wait, maybe before I go ahead and record it, you could provide a rough translation. No, on second thought, maybe its better that I didn’t know.
“You know, the nearer your destination, the more you suksi vittuun, kusip??…”
Sure, yeah. Well, the expression doubles as something like, “Have great luck.”
You know, Gavin, I think some folks around here would rather I recorded another Paul Simon parody, one that incorporated words:
“There must be 50 ways to leave this blog site!”

Well, there’s one sure-fire way.
But what would we do without you, Doc? No, you can’t migrate. We’d be getting nineteen-hundred-million emails asking where you’d gone!
Yeah, I guess it’s because RightWingRoadKill is such a fun game to play. It’s kind of like Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner, where the Road Runner is always ordering new, fangled gear to try to get rid of Bugs Bunny. He never succeeds, but it doesn’t seem to phase him, he just moves on to the next plan of attack.

Someone’s misrememberin’ things. 😀
Well, it did happen that way in Republican Loony Tunes!
Allow me to clarify that: It was the coyote who was trying to get the road runner, and it was the False Prophet, and his side kick, Marq, who just made RightWingRoadKill out of me. Congratulations!
How many times are you going to leave and come back to dominate a thread, sandwich dude?
You remind of that Cake song where John McCrea proclaims: “He’s callin’ me dude!” Gus, dude, you’ve really given me a lot of power, here. You mean I really have the power to dominate a thread? Well, with that very question, haven’t you invited me right back?
It was friendly and hospitable of you to invite me back with that question, gus, so I’m going to go easy on you. My point is this:
The powers that be at “Sadly, no!” have put out a huge welcome mat, with no restrictions, at least none that I have come up against so far. While I loathe much of the irreverence at this site to values I hold dear to my heart, and consider sacred, and while I am loath to admit it, this site is the greatest example of good old American free speech that I have ever come across. And there are no differential opportunity structures hereeveryone, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, (even the band, Creed) sexual orientation or trollness, is allowed an equal opportunity to blog and blather on as much as they want. That includes you, dude! Further more, if everyone just agreed with me, like you’re supposed to, there would not be so much of a demand for me to attempt to explain myself. So, gus, that’s the short answer to your question. Would you like the long one?
Doc, seriously, you need to recheck the dosage on your prescription.
I don’t know if BLT’s announced leaving and returning ad nauseum is more funny, or just sad…
How have you been, Timmah?
The way I would suggest determining that, is to reflect upon the phenomenon, and then pay attention to whether you find yourself laughing or crying.
