Don’t know much about industry
Over at RenewMyVows, Kristia Cavere has got it going on:
The list of industries which have failed is alarming: textiles, automobile, production, agricultural, energy, healthcare, banking, education. This is the logical outcome of the ever-growing Democratic control of American industry, which has, during the course of the past fifty years, accomplished their ideal form of socialism. The government now controls the innovation of business, and while commerce is floundering Washington is giving taxpayer-funded subsidies to their comrades.
Let us concede, right from the start, that we don’t care about the production industry. We don’t even know why anyone would even want to go into the producting industry. As for the rest Kristia is totally right: if there is one reason why the textiles industry has failed (alarming us in the process), it’s the government. It’s not competition from low-wage countries coupled with free trade agreements. No, no, no: instead the Democrats have achieved their goal of socialism which is to take control of an industry in order to ensure that it fails. (Or is the ideal form of socialism the goal of American industry? It’s hard to tell.)
And we do miss the energy industry — indeed, we’re glad we live in Germany and, unlike our US-based readers, can access Sadly, No! on electricity-powered computers rather than those that rely scurrying hamsters.
In 1993, Congress passed the Budget Reconciliation Act (now Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) due to their belief that financial executives weren’t taking enough risks. Instead of allowing salary to reward the performance of directors Congress favored stock options as executive compensation, which they believed would increase risk and which they allowed to qualify for limitless corporate tax deductions. Now Congress is blaming the very risk taking that they forced on the financial industry, as the reason for the current economic crisis.
Because in the old days, (short-term) performance-based compensation didn’t encourage risks, whereas stock options do, because the evolution of a company’s shares is totally unrelated to its performance. And when something is tax-deductible, it means that the ideal of socialism has been achieved. Along with the production industry. Also, management is typically made up of liberals:
The Democrats destroyed our industries, and those that were most controlled by the Democrats are the industries which are the most damaged through unions and left-leaning management.
Yet no introduction of a new wingnut would be complete without an Amazing Wingnut Fact:
It is a façade that Republicans control Wall Street and big business. Most of those who contributed to Obama’s campaign were from large businesses in the financial industry.
Well, we’d like to close with something innovative here but seeing as how the government controls the innovation business, to which we belong, we’ll offer this: Kristia has come here to chew bubblegum and make a total ass of herself. And she’s all out of bubblegum.
Yeah, but Hollywood movies kick ass all over the world!
Yeah, but Hollywood movies kick ass all over the world!
That’s because Hollywood is controlled by Republicans, as you will often hear at Big Hollywood. Or maybe it’s the opposite, I can’t remember.
Well, the Democrat-controlled abortion industry is doing quite well, but does Miss Cavegirl give the party its props?
Sweet jeebus, save us from republican kewpie dolls trying to do economic analysis.
“Well, the Democrat-controlled abortion industry is doing quite well”
This soon will be outsourced to India. Damned Hindifascists!!
fix my screen name dammit.
Wait — past 50 years? Democrats have been in charge the past 50 years?
Holy fuck — the Republicans had the Congress from 1994 to 2000-fucking-6.
Have they gotten to the point that they truly believe no one else will remember as far as 3 fucking years ago?
Democrats have been in charge the past 50 years?
Yes. Including the entire span of the war with Iran which has been going on since 1979, and during which Democrat President Reagan sold arms to the enemy.
Have they gotten to the point that they truly believe no one else will remember as far as 3 fucking years ago?
Since they don’t, why should anyone else? Putting themselves in the place of others ain’t exactly their wheelhouse.
Have they gotten to the point that they truly believe no one else will remember as far as 3 fucking years ago?
Three years ago, when President Clinton melted down the statue of the bull on Wall Street and used the bronze to cast humorless dildos for man-hating lesbians? You mean that 3 years ago?
What are you? Some bottom-feeding, scum-sucking algae eater?
someone doesn’t know what “facade” means.
So democratic control started unabated 50 years ago? Oh where are brave GOP leaders like FDR and Truman when you need them?
I used to work in the industry industry. Now I work in the business business. Now I’m going to get the papers get the papers.
That whole Iran/Contra thing, fucking liberals.
Looking at her picture, it looks like the Facebook school of cropping- ” I love this picture but I need to crop out the loser behind me, no one will notice my arm at this weird angle and the half hand under it.”
The building industry has been hamstrung by unnecessary government regulations on façades and Potemkin villages.
I used to work in the industry industry.
Then you got beri-beri and had to go to Baden-Baden for the cure-cure.

Instead of allowing salary to reward the performance of directors Congress favored stock options as executive compensation, which they believed would increase risk and which they allowed to qualify for limitless corporate tax deductions.
Oh bullshit. The rationale at the time was that the outrageous salaries people were awarding themselves and their buddies were not related to job performance at all, while stock options were totally performance-based because the worth of the stock depends on how the company’s actually doing. Who takes bigger risks, someone whose salary is insulated from bad results or someone whose pay takes a big hit when s/he gambles on something stupid?
I used to work in the industry industry.
Hey I worked in the Walla Wall office of industry industry! Do you know Bob?
Walla WALLA
Also, apparently stock options as part of executive compensation became widespread in the 50’s according to Donald P. Delves.
I’m used to the “who’s GW Bush?” routine, but the “what Reagan?” bit is new to me. I need to go collect my brain from the splatter on the wall behind me.
The “education industry” has failed?
Maybe “past fifty years” is just a fancy way of saying “some time in the past that I don’t know and frankly am too lazy to look up or whatever”.
Note that what’s-her-face has a master’s degree, so yeah.
The “education industry” has failed?
In at least one case, evidently.
Luckily for Ms Cavere, the “Making Shit Up” industry has never been more lucrative.
Go back to your own blog, Mr Gravitino.
The beating-Smut-to-the-joke industry is doing swell.
Eight million years ago, when George W. Bush was elected, the economic was successfuller. Now that Obama has been President for the last 300 million years, America has lost its spirit of innovation that Ronald Reagan gave to Adam Smith 200 billion years ago, and we may never get it back.
Also, there are vegetables on that sandwich. Also.
Kristia Cavere
Has thoughts she’d like to share.
She can’t maintain her bonhomie
Since Democrats trashed the economy.
So this is socialism?
Okay, okay. Mustering all of my sympathy, here’s my theory of this bit of nuttiness: Cavere can see that the economy isn’t working. It’s full of a corrupt union between corporate executives and politicians. But in her universe, bad politicians are called Democrats and corporatism is socialism. Maybe it’s all just a poverty of vocabulary on Ms. Cavere’s part.
as always a grain of truth. she’s right that the same interests, families, and businesses stand at the whip handle end of both putative wings of the american property party. beyond that, of course, the poor girl child has made a regular pig’s breakfast of her own talking points.
TORTURE THE KULAKS!!!
Link for the foregoing.
I dress the neighborhood children up in costumes so that they may learn from recent historical events, but they never know what I’m talking about, and the parents are getting better with their restraining orders.
Maybe it’s all just a poverty of vocabulary on Ms. Cavere’s part.
And I suppose you just want to redistribute vocabulary from those of us who happen to have earned ourselves more words?! You socialists are all the same.
Sweet jeebus, save us from republican kewpie dolls trying to do economic analysis.
She’s worse than McMegan.
I dress my kid up as a Kenyan birth certificate registrar and OFF WE GO!
And the libruls do not care what sort of inflation crisis they are endangerating by spending our vocabulary into debt.
I coulda picked other quotes. Any other quotes of hers. Randomly. And has the same thing to say to any or all of them.
“These words do mean what you think they mean. None of them. Nor in any order you place them.”
Or “had.”
Three years ago, when President Clinton melted down the statue of the bull on Wall Street and used the bronze to cast humorless dildos for man-hating lesbians?
Boy, y’know, just sayin’, but those would be COLD, wouldn’t they?
Or maybe man-hating humorless-dildo-using lesbians LIKE cold. Hell if I know.
It is a façade that Republicans control Wall Street and big business.
well, YEAH, other than the fact that
a) corporations are inherently conservative by their very nature, and
b) she doesn’t know what the fuck “façade ” means, but boy, did she do that “funny c” thing. How can you argue with high-ANSI, after all?
KICK AÇÇ!!!
I notice there’s been very little coverage of the Stupak debacle on this blog. Keep carrying water for the Democrats, folks. We told you Progressives would be thrown under the Hope™ and Change™ sooner or later. Looks like Obama and his party chose “sooner”.
Told you so! The biggest restrictions on abortion rights in a quarter century–passed under the party you voted for. Just goes to show what I said was right, that we have one party in this country with two right wings.
Meant to say thrown under the Hope™ and Change™ Bus etc.
There was a comprehensive article between the sports section and the op-ed page.
And you all are still going to vote for the Democrats next time, aren’t you? And volunteer for them. And give them money.
Talk about battered wife syndrome…

The fact is, this just proves that LIEberaals are the real homephobes.

Hey, does the Nanny State really wear those green and white striped socks, or was that just a creative liberty by the show?

Writes of homophones.
And don’t call me surely.
The episode where Simon was beaten senseless by a chalk football hooligan was a little dark.
I want to know where that poster who said the only reason I didn’t support Democrats is because I am a white male, and that we needed to keep Democrats in office instead of voting for the Green Party because Republicans would mean abortion restrictions, and I just COULDN’T understand that because I was a white male.
That argument looks kind of fucking dumb now, doesn’t it? You know, given the fact the Democrats just passed major restrictions on abortion rights.

their mother dressed up Kristia and Jon in historical period costumes, and had them act out the historical events as she narrated the tale.
Examples include “The Rape of Lucretia,” “The Rape if the Sabine Women” and “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (with an emphasis on Rape).”
a) corporations are inherently conservative by their very nature, and
As is the Democratic party, as it turns out.
At least one other person on this blog doesn’t have Battered Progressive Syndrome.
Vote for my shitty eighth-party candidates and thus get Republicans elected! Otherwise someone in power might restrict abortion access!
Buzz off.
Come out in the open and debate me instead of engaging in cowardly nym-jacking, cobag.
Hey Progressive Voice, are you suggesting that this would have turned out better under McCain?
What we need is a new goddamn Constitution, folks. We’ve rules-lawyered this one into uselessness.
Stupak amendment
Democratic – 64 yes, 194 no
Republican – 176 yes, 1 present
Everybody vote Republican, the party that supports abortion rights!
“Progressive Voice” is your real name? Are you one of Jason Lee’s kids?
I’m saying it would have made zero difference, octopod. The Democrats and Republicans are the right wing and far-right wing, respectively, of the Property Party.
We need to send a message that the Democrats need to move further to the left, and maybe after they lose a few times due to third party leftist candidates they’ll learn their lesson.
I mean, Jesus, even the wingnuts understand this. They’re effectively pushing the Republican Party to the right (witness NY-23).
It’s time to duel!
When looking for serious debate, I always head for wherever the snark and sniggering are loudest — because I am Wile E. Coyote, SUPER GENIUS!
I’d rather have thirty Democratic Senators that are to the left of Bernie Sanders than sixty Harry Reids.
Examples include “The Rape of Lucretia,” “The Rape if the Sabine Women” and “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (with an emphasis on Rape).”
The re-enactment of The Rape of the Lock was less successful, as the hair-costume tended to chafe.
We need to emulate the wingnuts’ strategy! Because we all saw how well it’s been working for them!
I’d rather have a full bottle in front of me than listen to Purity Troll jerk off into his sweat sock, take a deep inhale and call it “serious debate”.
Come on guys, be patient. Someday the Democratic Party will love us–we just have to vote for them more. Give them more money. Support them. ONE day we will be loved–its usually our fault, anyway.
I’d rather have thirty Democratic Senators that are to the left of Bernie Sanders than sixty Harry Reids.

I had those once, but I got oneathem Brazilian waxing things I saw on a teevee infomercial and it cleared right up.

Of course, some ladies prefer Nads.
But, then again, whadoIknow.
I dunno if that dumbshit cartoon only had Obama smoking to make him look like Don Draper, but either way it mystifies me how the wingnuts have decided to go after him for smoking, while not pausing for a second in their insistence that only a commufascist would want to regulate the tobacco industry, and that any proof that smoking is detrimental to your health is just “junk science” (which is apparently defined by wingnuts as “science that might result in CEOs making less”).
“Of course, some ladies prefer Nads. “
The Teabaggers are especially fond of it, I hear.

As opposed to the last 8 years, when the GOP platform of reducing taxes, reduce more taxes, repeal regulation and oversight, and repeal taxes, went on to make the US economy the greatest rainbow majick ponie in the 7 universes.
well it does make a kind of sense for a progressive voice in the desert to wander here in order to better proselytize the meaty part of the curve. the writers at s,n (gavin in particular, natch) are top notch but most of the regular commenters are pretty run of the mill (no no, not you. you’re a special unique snowflake of unique uniqueness…i’m talking about the others. why you’ve said the same thing about them yourself, from time to time.). i mean there are already nuanced debates taking place in some places–why not minister also to the prostitutes and the money changers, ya know?
I’m more popular than Jesus!
Oh, hey, what a coincidence this Progressive Troll sounds a whole lot like those other trolls!
I showed up coz somebody just called “troll! troll! troll!” and it’s about to get all Spirit of the Beehivey all up in here, y’all.

If he is unsatisfied with our snark, I suggest he wrap the unused portion carefully in tissue paper and return it to us for a full refund.
Or he could sit & rotate – that works, too.
Well, at least this troll has an intriguing new flavor to it. I mean, Gary Ruppert is delicious and satisfying and all, but occasionally one wants to cleanse the palate with the taste of an exotic species of troll. Otherwise, internet ennui is liable to set in, and you know what that means; actually getting some work done.
Well, at least this troll has an intriguing new flavor to it.
Nah, it’s just tw00fie in “Purity Troll” mode- nothing new under the sun.
“occasionally one wants to cleanse the palate with the taste of an exotic species of troll”
That’s swell and all and I understand the urge but really, this is just a recycled purity troll and thus…

zzzzZZZZZzzz.
We hates the BBBB, precious! Yes we does! He’s tricksy and types too fast.

In other words, “‘Scuze mah fin-GAHS!”
That argument looks kind of fucking dumb now, doesn’t it? You know, given the fact the Democrats just passed major restrictions on abortion rights.
What looks really fucking dumb is some troll blathering on about how the Democrats “passed major restrictions on abortion rights” in a bill that isn’t even halfway towards becoming a law. “Passing” when it comes to legislating means it became the law. Perhaps it flew right over your head, Shecky, that the Senate is making clear that they won’t accept the Stupak amendment. So who am I supposed to find more credible, the men and women who will, you know, actually be voting on the final bill, or some dipshit who shows up here under a stupid handle and spends hours screeching about how the sky is falling?
I bow to your superior tastes.
you shouldn’t take it so personally when someone shows up and wants to play. the occasional slap can bring that lost luster back to your pallid cheeks.
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down you’re rocking the boat.

As far as I can recall, our choices weren’t between John McCain & Sarah Palin, Barack Obama & Joe Biden, and OUR TRUE LEFTIST REVOLUTIONARY FUTURE.
Our choices in this world, the real world, the one which exists, as opposed to the one comprised entirely of people talking about their consciences, were between letting the Palintide completely destroy everything or let some moderately sane representatives of the business classes run things.
I’m certainly happier that we chose the latter; I’m sad that I wasn’t on the ballot box to be elected Master of the Universe and Instant Winner of Every Big Lottery EVAR, but, you know, that’s because I live in the actual world, instead of the one made up of atoms of attitude.

I don’t think I have to agree with everything Obama does to prefer him, still, to the Republican seeders of Reaganite destruction. Our choices aren’t simply between leftist rebellion fantasy, libertard teabagger blargling, and Obama worship. This is a modern society with complex structures of power typically dominated by the uppermost economic classes. Any sort of change favorable to the majority of the population is, by design, difficult to achieve.
“Kristia is committed to serving and protecting her country in every way she can, thus ensuring her brother’s memory is honored and remembered.
After college, Kristia worked as a senior financial analyst in the healthcare field for five years until September 2007, when she began graduate school full-time.
In May 2009, Kristia received a Masters in Science degree in “Defense and Strategic Studies” from Missouri State University, which is located in Fairfax, Virginia right outside our nation’s Capitol. During the spring 2009 semester, she had an internship at the Pentagon in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.”
So Kristina, being committed to serving and protecting her country in every way she can, works for an insurance company, and then gets some weird degree from Missouri State University in Fairfax Virginia (?) and goes on the wingnut welfare circuit. Instead of say, enlisting?

So, the troll’s not only dumb, it’s repetitive. Great. Even better. The troops from the Revolutionary Naderite Front, Quitter Division, have assembled in the dark since Nader betrayed every single one of his promises that he was really running to build up the infrastructure of a national Green Party. Like most egoists, it turns out to have all been about him, and not the sort of institution building that people generally older than the 4-11 year range realize must occur in order to push for real change. Or maybe atavistic screams have more of a world-historic revolutionary effect that that idiot Karl Mark envisioned.
That fucking bourgie pussy Karl Marx said that it was urgent that workers use what power they had in the democratically achieved vote to attempt to tame the more dangerous and exploitative powers of the bourgeois state, but then he was some old fag who had never learned the anarchic power of the collage.

I hope these crazies keep manufacturing crazy bullshit any moron can see through for as long as it takes for them to lose the next election and the election after that.
It’s not as if they are bothered by losses anyway since their crazy extends to turning every loss into a victory dance.

Funny how Cavere leaves out the part where companies just outright shipped massive numbers of jobs overseas, & even dismantled the fucking factories themselves & shipped them off to either the Third World or the Maquilladora Econo-Orgy-Zone, once they had enough Deregulation Moonshine under their unborn-iguana-skin belts to pull it off without having to worry about any penalty – I bet that kind of thing can put a real cramp in your industry industry.

Ehhh, I mean, de gustibus and stuff, and she has that long horsey face that I actually kinda like (shut up, so I’m a mutant, so what) but she just doesn’t do it for me, much less button-ish and all that.
Ooooh, purity trolls: http://xkcd.com/661/
Now Billy needs to make a poster of her with a Hitler mustache and walk the school halls wielding an AR-15 and talking about Trees of Liberty and watering roots with blood.
‘Cause apparently that’s perfectly rational political discourse according to Teh Intrartubes here, as well.
(pardon me, Wingnut Boss-man and Crazy Anti-Health Reform Lady had a “consultation” at work last night. I didn’t hear any of it, but I somehow get the impression they were discussing THE EVIL BLACK USURPER and his nefarious socialistic plot to kill all the old people. Yeesh, just what I need – Wolverines in the pharmacy.)
I am deeply concerned that Democrats have not learned their lessons after two consecutive massive electoral victories
the democrats can raise money and win elections, in order to raise more money to win more elections, so that more money can be raised and more elections can be won. naturally, pursuing issues like gay rights, significant environmental reforms, significant reforms in the regulation of the financial sector, any health-care package
running dogsblue dogs don’t support–well all these threaten the sacred cycle of raising money and winning elections.but yeah, dissenting points of view are trolling, and all trolls are troofie, and as a last resort point out in serious, self-important, somber tones that this is after all a comedy blog. which is true enough–the main page posts are often intentionally funny, whereas the comments often descend into a riotous circle jerk. last one to finish eats the cracker. ready, steady, go!
there’s probably a simpsons quote that addresses this, or an achewood. stay hip, my friends.
Teh Intrartubes here, as well.
omg rofl internet spelling! hey man did you catch adult swim last night? totally edgy.
The list of industries which have failed is alarming: textiles, automobile, production, agricultural, energy, healthcare, banking, education.
Let’s deconstruct this:
Textiles — have been failing for decades, ever since basically slavery was abolished, because it’s a lot cheaper to pay a Messican (and even they have an illegal immigration problem from Guatamelans taking those jobs over, which is forcing them El Norte) $5 a day than it is to pay an American even sub-minimum wage.
And that’s before you consider how much cheaper everything else, from transportation to raw materials, is in Mexico.
Automobiles — It’s not the governments fault that for twenty years the US auto industry has sat on its ass pumping out the same shitty designs using the same shitty materials and charging an arm and a leg for them. Toyota and Honda BOTH make cars here in the US in union factories, so you can’t blame the unions.
Oh. Wait. You CAN blame the government! The Republicans have consistently sided with the auto industry intiatives to sell bigger more profitable cars by offering tax credits for buying, say, a Hummer.
A tax credit of $100,000, essentially making the Hummer cost nothing.
Agricultural — Here, I’m afraid, she has a point: the government farm subsidies have allowed corporate farmers to become bloated and complacent and to not utilize their resources efficiently. When it’s cheaper to import straberries from Chile than grow them in California, there’s a real problem.
Energy — Dick Cheney. Nuff said.
Healthcare — Isn’t this precisely the debate we’re having now? When under our current system it’s cheaper to fly me over to Mumbai for open heart surgery than for me to go down the street to arguably the best teaching hospital in the world (Columbia Presbyterian), then the current insurance system is wacked. Period.
Banking — Well, SOMEone had to take the fall for lending to GM, Conagra, JP Stevens, et al!
Education — Excuse me, there’s an industry????
If you’re blaming the school system, how about looking at the culture as a whole, where we don’t value education except when it fails us. We deny science in favor of a promise by some nebulous being who says we can live forever after we’re dead (which is iffy at best), we tell mathematicians they’re fuzzy, and poetry and writing is a dying art, as evidenced by the death of newspapers and magazines that don’t feature Paris Hilton or Carrie Prejean on their cover.
Who the fuck is this nimrod????
The rationale at the time was that the outrageous salaries people were awarding themselves and their buddies were not related to job performance at all, while stock options were totally performance-based because the worth of the stock depends on how the company’s actually doing
And there was a failure from inception in that logic as well. This scheme rewarded immediate and increasing quarterly profits as opposed to the long-term health of the company. The stock options should have come with at least a ten year lock-up, and perhaps should not have been vested until the recipient retired from the company, thus creating an incentive for loyalty and stopping the bungie-cord executive management style.
dissenting points of view are trolling, and all trolls are troofie, and as a last resort point out in serious, self-important, somber tones that this is after all a comedy blog
awwwww, I think we bwoke his lil’ heart.
No, “dissent” does not make you a troll. Coming on to a comments thread where you then proceed to work yourself into a fine froth about X Big Issue Of The Day and why we are not all talking about it in properly “somber tones”, well, that’s different.
And no, this is a comedy blog. Or at least a snark blog, which is kind of like comedy but darker. But as Emma Goldman said, “If I can’t snark I don’t want to be part of your revolution”. Or something like that.
omg rofl internet spelling! hey man did you catch adult swim last night? totally edgy.
Tut, tut, my good man! Might I offer you my great pink gluteal surfaces to bite?
No, “game shows touch our lives,” dissenting views aren’t trolling. Assholery of your type is trolling. We’re not politically aware enough for you? Then go elsewhere where you and the other people who see everything we miss can sit around and discuss the utopia you’ll build once you convince everyone else that you’re right.
Speaking only for myself, I believe the regular commenters come here for mostly for laughs. We occasionally have arguments among ourselves because we disagree. I apologize that we don’t spend ever day in sackcloth because of the state of political affairs; I apologize that our humor doesn’t meet your standards; I apologize that we repeat jokes; I apologize that you haven’t been treated with the respect – no, grovelling respect – that your astute observations have earned you.
You fucking tool. Why don’t you kill yourself and simultaneously make the world a better place and end your horrible disappointment with a bunch of people you don’t know and obviously have no interest in knowing?
Who left their humorless dildo lying around?
Pere –
While I was typing away you both beat me to the punch and said it better than me. DAMN YOU TO HELL.

ooh. irreverent. HEY LOOK EVERYONE SOMEONE CALLING HIMSELF “PERE UBU” IS BEING IRREVERENT ON THE INTERNET!!!
I really don’t think Purity Troll is Troofie. Even Soft Centred Growl probably isn’t. The thing I’ve always noticed about Troofie’s sockpuppets is that they all sound exactly like the original. He’s much too dumb to even attempt a different voice. So when we do hear different voices, the chances are we’ve got different trolls.

I concur. We met this jackass a couple of weeks ago, didn’t we? And we directed him to a totally unfunny blog, like AmericaBlog or Eschaton, right?

so many humorless dildos lying around here one more would hardly make a difference. YA BURNT
or did you mean “humorless dodo”. because there are plenty of those, too. DOUBLE BURN.

You don’t know me and you’re a liar. Show me where I posted “glib indifference.” I come here to be amused and you are not only not amusing, you’re intentionally insulting to almost everyone here for no reason at all. It won’t convince us of anything, but of course you don’t care because we’re not worthy of your opinions, right?
If I needed any more evidence that you’re nothing more than a troll composed of used asswipe, it’s the fact that you’re nym-switching every post so that we can’t even use killfile on you. You won’t be ignored!
Congrats, little man, you win. I will ignore you, so you can run the table with your so-clever come-back.
And we directed him to a totally unfunny blog,
you mean http://simplyleftbehind.blogspot.com ?
oh man. you walked right into that one!

Personally I’d recommend he go hang out with the Spartacists or someone like that. I’m sure they’re not only serious enough and politically pure enough, but I’m equally sure their commenters are much more insightful and never make silly offensive pop culture references. And there’s a total lack of Photoshops involving toilets.

There really is a disconnect on the part of some of the trolls. This place (to me, anyway) is like a local bar. There are regulars, semi-regulars, and a bunch of people that drop in from time to time to add their two cents to the ongoing conversations. The proprietors keep folks (usually) well-fed on consumable material and everyone comes and goes as they please. Like a bar, however, when someone comes in and starts annoying the staff or hassling the regulars, they are shunned or asked to leave or simply told to shut up.
What’s so hard to understand about this? I mean, huh?

to me, it’s more like that old fable about the grasshopper and the giant isopod. and the isopod harvested kelp all summer to stock up for the winter, but the grasshopper spent all his time playing video games and watching rockford files reruns. then, when winter came, the isopod was fine because he lived in the ocean anyway so the winter didn’t matter, but the grasshopper got caught by a 5th grader in a gifted science class and then dissected. then someone quoted that hilarious thing grampa simpson said once, and a few other people said really edgy things about religion.

Your personal hygiene is not at issue here. We know you rot.
paul mantarakis is stealing my schtick! he’s so schticky! like a frat boy’s cumsock in the august sun!
More to the point, more than once yours truly has said some things that other regulars, semi-regulars, and drop-in guests disagreed with (foreskin holocaust? humorless dildos? I’m sure I’m forgetting a few), but because I could actually defend my opinion as being not-totally-unreasonable, some or most of the others here could recognize that I wasn’t just trolling, because they agreed that my stated reasons for advancing my POV, and/or the POV itself, were actually more logical or rational than the reasons advanced by those whom I had upset or disagreed with.
A lack of personal attacks helps in that regard. Also.
So whenever I see someone such as our challenged friend here claiming that we “just don’t get it” because we’re all in imaginary lockstop, or we’re not pure enough, or smart enough, or whatever, I detect an overpowering aroma of bullshit.
And it comes down to what it usually comes down to in the end: some people just need to get the fuck over themselves.

not really. actor, xecky, and tigrisimus are usually the most entertaining posters. doctor missus etc is the most likable. sometimes you’re pretty funny, although the zombie stuff sometimes gets out of hand (several regulars have confided this to me, privately, though i have been sworn to secrecy as to which ones). some of the older posters were also good, though many of them have disappeared. so it goes.

What do Zombies disagree with among themselves?
We’re mostly in agreement. Oh, sure, we often debate lurching vs. shambling, and whether a diet of brains is better than one that includes flesh and other organs, but mostly, we find ourselves simply looking to assuage the existential ache of post-existence… by eating branes.
Oh, and there’s the occasional zombie asshole who supported Nader.
One thing for sure is, when I was in Italy, the industry there was power and inspired by democracy, and unpolluted by filthy diseased cocksucking Somalians. The seafood was awesome, also.

If you blanched branes, couldn’t you disguise cauliflower in them and get some much-needed veggies? It might help with the shambling.

It is totally Obama’s fault that in his first few months in office the intelligence agencies and the army didn’t detect the growing threat that Nidal Hasan represented, but it was totally Bill Clinton’s fault that George W.

Agreed, Pere. Lileks never got over pooping himself crazy on 9/11 though.

I am reminded of those lame-ass Christian “humor and common-sense wisdom” books by that lady, whassername. Anyone who’s seen ‘em ‘ll know, Barbara something I think.
That could only be Barbara Johson. That woman has had the most hilarious problems. For example, one time her panty hose tore and she dragged a piece for a whole block without even realizing! Ahhhh…. but isn’t God great?

And before you say it Mr. Purity, yes it’s all so five years ago.
Whatever happened to the guy who made those clown videos about Gavin on YouTube? That guy ruled.
The terror attack at Ford Hood has made it clear there can be no middle ground between Islam and the West. One must prevail, or the other. We need to get serious about the Muslim threat.
Of course libs probably popped little stiffies when they heard about the shooting, hoping it would be a member of the TEA party movement, but went flaccid as soon as the said terrorist was Muslim. Then they started making excuses for his terrorist act. Just goes to show who are the violent ones.
Here’s an idea: how about we start treating Muslims in the west exactly who, say, Saudi Arabia and Iran treat non-Muslims? Fair is fair!
FORT Hood, before you start making fun of a typo rather than talk about the point of my post.
Yes! Let’s imitate the tactics of theocratic dictatorships, for….FREEDOM!
We can start by only allowing non-Muslims to live or even visit New York and Washington, just like Saudi Arabia bans non-Muslims from Mecca and Medina.
It’s Ford hood, not Ford Hood.
Great idea, WWS–let’s do declare war on Islam. I mean, that’s only about a third of the Earth’s population, and the ruling majority of most of the oil-exporting nations in the world. What could possibly go wrong with a brilliant plan like yours?
Next troll, please.
Will the West Submit?
The deadline is this Friday! We will not accept any late submissions.
Steerpike, Israel is at war with essentailly the whole Muslim world and seems to do just fine.
After all, they’ve already declared war on us. And the whole of the West is about a third of the Earth’s population, too, and contains nearly all developed countries.
Here’s an idea: how about we start treating Muslims in the west exactly who, say, Saudi Arabia and Iran treat non-Muslims?
But what you really want to do is submit, to be probed in every orifice by the throbbing, uncirmcumsized members of faceless, swarthy manbeasts.
Here’s a deal conservatives could make with at least patriotic libs–we allow gays to serve openly in the military if you agree to ban Muslims from serving in the military.
Great idea, WWS–let’s do declare war on Islam.
I’m still wondering why he thought a teabagger would be on a military base.
Is our hypothetical teabagger lost?
No, I’m agreeing with you, WWS! Let’s declare war on all Muslims right now, and finish the job we’ve already started of garrisoning all of their countries. I think it’s a great idea! I’m assuming you have already enlisted, naturally–when do you report for duty?
I’m not talking about an active, shooting war, I’m talking about treating Muslims in the west as complete second class citizens, the same way non-Muslims are treated as second-class citizens in Muslim lands. Ban them from proselytizing Islam under pain of death, ban construction of new mosques, put current mosques under government survelliance, ban Islamic schools, etc. Make life very painful for them until they leave Europe and America, or give up practicing Islam.
I’m assuming you have already enlisted, naturally–when do you report for duty?
He’s already made it clear that he has to wait for the appeal of DADT.
Yep, that’d be Goober. One of the finest examples of Address my point, libs! you’ll ever see.
I like how it takes Troofy a few hours to change from one sockpuppet to another. It’s like he keeps putting on his costume backwards or something.
Jeez, what is it, the weather?
We got Dan Poop over on the other thread who’s being Mr. Borey McBoringpants, and some douchenozzle over here who’s being all boring Islamophobic.
Better, or at least more riff-able trolls, bitte!
BTW, speaking of Teh Stupide, did Gun Counter Gomer ever pop off the inevitable “if only people were armed!” w/r/t Fort Hood?
Glenn Reynolds did.
if hassan is executed he will be the first soldier to be executed since 1961. god what a spectacle that will be!
hoping it would be a member of the TEA party movement
Yeah, us crazy people, thinking that folks who carry assault rifles to political protests and talk openly about “watering the Tree Of Liberty” just might possibly produce a fucking loony who’d open fire on innocent people.
Just like those nice Christians in the anti-abortion campaign and how they’ve been all peaceful and shit all this time.
Step 1 – Collect underpants
Step 2 – ???
Step 3 – Profit!
(I think Step #2 may have something to do with the Japanese, and profit can be maximized in Step #3 if surfboards are somehow involved)
it’s ironic that the conservatives, who pray at the altar of mammon, don’t realize that the notion of nation is passe’, times being what they are (brutal). capital has flown the coop and its new high priests know no national boundaries. it is no accident that goldman sachs execs have taken to giving their sermons in churches lately (see taibbi for discussion). just a matter of time before they stand in scarlet robes and thunder at masses in a church in eastern europe where the altar is made of bones (it’s real) and the hymnals are made of human flesh that we are all, after all, nothing more than creditors and debtors in the hands of an angry godlessness.

HILARIOUS! dude that construction is timeless. it never gets old. keep using it forever.
I notice no lib here has a good answer to my question about how come we shouldn’t treat Muslims in the West like non-Muslims are treated in Muslim lands? Hmmmm?
The only thing better than stale catchphrases? People who love to point out all those stale catchphrases and endlessly bitch about the losers who aren’t on the avant-garde of comedy. I LOVE IT. CAN’T GET ENOUGH.

hey homeskillet, i totally agree that tolerance is overrated. fuck pluralism, i say. i also say we do the same thing with christians, jews, and anybody else who worships some bizarre moon god formed of impotent rage and vestigial that lingers in the nerves and neurons from too many years in too many deserts. down with monotheism. down with death cults and the mortification of the flesh.

The US is a democratic republic, so such actions would require amending our Constitution. Knock yourself out.
And if the Muzzies wouldn’t like that, well, then they can change their laws about non-Muslims.
an active shooting war as opposed to passive shooting wars.
cha ching.
I notice no lib here has a good answer to my question about how come we shouldn’t treat Muslims in the West like non-Muslims are treated in Muslim lands? Hmmmm?
Because we wrote down our principles in big fancy documents using quill pens and calligraphy and damn it, it’s expensive finding a scribe these days who can edit on parchment so we’re stuck with the whole “equality under the law” and “all men are created equal” nonsense whether we like it or not.
if i see someone praying when i’m waiting to board a plane, like being really obnoxious about it (muslim, christian, jew) i do find myself worried they have a suicide-related agenda.
Tigrismus, the Constitution is NOT a suicide pact.
Having large Muslim minorities living in our country, breeding, is going to bring about a future catastrophe. Ask the Egyptian Christians how it worked out for them.
umm, West Bozo, the argument “He started it!” ceases to be effective after third grade.
Also, bigotry. But I guess we knew that, didn’t we?
I notice no lib here has a good answer to my question about how come we shouldn’t treat Muslims in the West like non-Muslims are treated in Muslim lands?

muzzies? really dude?
Or why don’t you ask the Serbs what having a large Muslim minority leads to? Hmmm?
And if the Muzzies wouldn’t like that, well, then they can change their laws about non-Muslims.
Because nothing says “Clash of Civilizations” like letting the other guy dictate to you what your principles are.

and so it goes.
I’m talking about treating Muslims in the west as complete second class citizens,

d00d – “your mom” jokes? Really? Isn’t that a bit over the line?
We can start by only allowing non-Muslims to live or even visit New York and Washington, just like Saudi Arabia bans non-Muslims from Mecca and Medina.
Gee, that’s weird. I’ve been to both…
Or why don’t you ask the Serbs what having a large Muslim minority leads to?
Nothing, actually. At least not until foreign investors decided to start carving up Bosnian and Kosovar coal deposits and clear a pipeline route. Then it’s all “Mehmet the Conquer” this and “Ustashia clubbing competition” that and pretty soon Eastern Europe starts looking like it has for most of its history.
Hmmm……Hmmmm?
So how about it, libs? Homos can serve openly in the military if we ban Muslims from the military in exchange?
i think your mom is a bit over the line.
the Constitution is NOT a suicide pact.,
Whew, I forgot that the founders included a “these rules don’t apply whenever you are actively soiling yourself in cowardly snivelling terror” clause.
What, is that like the zeroth Amendment or something?
So how about it, libs? Homos can serve openly in the military if we ban Muslims from the military in exchange?
FINALLY!
Troofie wants to enlist!

On this Veterans’ Day:
So of course WWS wouldn’t die for these principles. They aren’t his principles, after all.
wws has his principles. if you don’t like them, he has others.
Tigrismus, the Constitution is NOT a suicide pact.
It contains a method to alter itself. Like I said, knock yourself out.

Oh right. All niggers/spicks/towelheads/women/Chinks must die. Forgot.
So how about it, libs? Homos can serve openly in the military if we ban Muslims from the military in exchange?
I really, really like how you assume the authority to make such a deal. You da man!
say what you will about muslims, there is something about a girl wearing kohl that is hot upon hot.
wws has his principles. if you don’t like them, he has others.
Hee.
Homos can serve openly in the military if we ban Muslims from the military in exchange?
No deal. How about this compromise: Gays will serve openly, and people who call them “homos” will be banned for being homophobic because that is detrimental to unit cohesion.
And the conservative wailing and gnashing of teeth over this will be gentle music to our ears.
wws has his principles. if you don’t like them, he has others.
Gets them at the iFwap store.
Gays will serve openly, and people who call them “homos” …
… are the gays who are not serving so openly.
So how about it, libs? Homos can serve openly in the military if we ban Muslims from the military in exchange?
sounds like a good start. but only if we can also draft pretty little methodist girls into the infantry and have them serve on the front lines in their pretty little sundresses with pretty little bows in their hair. deal?

Personally, I’d prefer if we had to beat it into submission and then collar it and degrade it by making it blow all the other hemispheres at the bar.
I love the way troofie/goober/who cares? elevates Hasan to be the sole representative of all Muslims everywhere.
Because Hasan went crazy and killed a bunch of people, all billion plus Muslims will inevitably do the same thing and therefore must be collectively punished by the world’s policemans, Teh United Stateses of America!!one! Long may it wave!
Logic FAIL, again.
So the trolls are now yelling at each other? Huh.
I love the way troofie/goober/who cares? elevates Hasan to be the sole representative of all Muslims everywhere.
Nevermind that hundreds of millions of Muslims have never even heard of the United States or that a billion Muslims would wish us well.
No no! In their world, all Muslims must die because of one deranged killer.
So what to make of Timothy McVeigh or Eric Rudolph…
i’m willing to bet that less of substance and meaning has been said, in more posts, in this thread than ever before.

I didn’t see any quotes in there about Barney Frank agreeing to a “no muslims” compromise in order to get this through! Oh well, maybe next Constitution, right bigots?
Homos can serve openly in the military if we ban Muslims from the military in exchange?
May I presume to answer for most everybody here?
No. How about if everybody of any stripe or persuasion who has served in our military in any capacity kick your ass?
This would include GWB (but he would have to lose interest before actually delivering a blow), but not Dick Cheney.
Is Mr. Fightypants still here?
Cripes, I’d figure’d he’d gotten bored and gone off to wank with his buddies at Gates of Vagina Vienna.

I don’t know what your problem is with the Muslim fundamentalists. They hate gays, want to subjugate women, love brutal punishments and they worship the same sky fairy as you. They should blend right in with the 30% of Americans who are already incompatible with the western way of life.

I don’t know why you libs love Muslim fundamentalists so much. They hate gays, treat women as property, and worship a God. so why do you defend them? hmmm?
Read some Mark Steyn and get enlightened, Actor.
Google “America Alone”.
so why do you defend them?
OK, now he’s arguing with imaginary people.
Doods! We broked the trool!
Read some Mark Steyn and get enlightened, Actor.
Non-sequitor, Troofie. Mark Steyn is to enlightenment as Torquemada is to compassion.
Every Muslim on the fucking planet = “Muslim fundamentalists”
Tolerance for other belief systems = “love so much”.
Pointing out the idiocy of your racist arguments = “defending them”.
Right.
the Constitution is NOT a suicide pact.
First of all: SEZ WHO? The thing was written on a blank sheet of paper. If they wanted to include an Article that said, “Thif is not a suicide pact”, they bloody well could have. They didn’t. Instead, they included an Article to the effect of “Thif is the supreme law of the land, and if you don’t like it, MOVE”. The Constitution is the United States of America. Why do you hate America?
Second of all: suicide pact? Can you do basic arithmetic? Let us assume you can. Go and read sometime about Bomber Command’s joint strategic bombing campaign against Germany during 1942-1945. You will find that they did to Germany the rough equivalent of one 9/11 every two weeks for four years. To this day, historians are divided about whether or not this offensive had any effect on the war, with the most positive analyses suggesting that it probably made it marginally easier for the Red Army to flatten Berlin, and maybe shortened the war by a few months or so.
The massed “muzzie” hordes that cause you to wet your pants so frequently have managed one 9/11 scale catastrophe in nine years (well, actually, in ever). Why do you think (bigger, richer) America is weaker than Nazi Germany? Perhaps you think Americans, unlike Germans, are cowards who are unwilling to put up a fight? Perhaps you are a coward who is unwilling to put up a fight?
Again, why do you hate America?
nah, we hate ALL fundamentalists. we just hate Christian fundamentalists more.
because they’ve done more damage to our country, you know.
we do, however, defend all of their rights to be crazy sky-fairy bottoms as much as they want in this country, as long as they do it quietly and don’t scare the horses.
To be specific, nobody has yet demonstrated that Hasan is a fundamentalist of any stripe. Of course, Fox has said that he is, but that’s kinda the same as Troofy making an election prediction.

I had the same reaction. I wondered if this was more or less sillier than listening to Elmo lecture on interplanetary gas.
There are many fine Canadians like Robbie Robertson, Leonard Cohen, and Neil Young, who have produced fresh, enlightening commentary about the U.S. in song form. Then there are the Mark Steyns and Adam Yoshidas, who are an embarrassment to both countries and should really shut the hell up.
I agree with the previous common sense poster. Muslims should not be allowed to serve in the military, the same way that homos are not allowed to serve.
The only so-called “acts of valor” that Muslim soldiers have committed is opening fire on their own comrades. This is just one of many incidents involving Muslim soldiers committing acts of treason. Remember a few years ago the Muslim soldier in Iraq who threw a grenade into the tent of his fellow soldiers?
If they adhere to a religion that calls for the murder or forced conversion of “unbelievers” then they shouldn’t be allowed in our country never mind our armed forces!
And just in case you accuse me of being a spineless “chickenhawk” I’m a pfc in the Army National Guard. My company will be deploying to Afghanistan in a year.
What do those two clauses have to do with each other?
The only so-called “acts of valor” that Muslim soldiers have committed is opening fire on their own comrades.
So the people who killed Pat Tillman are Muslims?
And you say this on Veterans Day….shame on you, soldier.

Says the guy who would like to see a policy of murdering or forced conversion of those who believe differently than he does.
How come the trolls never bring up people like Daniel Larison? Do they have some innate aversion to conservatives who actually know how to craft arguments? Not wingnutty enough for them?
I was going to say something about Troofie’s consistency issues (one Muslim shoots people, all Muslims are bad; one Christian shoots/blows people up, eh, he was just a lone radical), but then I read the Mark Steyn comment and was rendered completely unable to function for a good minute because I was laughing so hard.
He can’t be serious and, yet, I think he is.
If they adhere to a religion that calls for the murder or forced conversion of “unbelievers” then they shouldn’t be allowed in our country never mind our armed forces!

Heaven knows, I am no expert on decent behaviour. But I suspect that if I were trying the Parody Troll shtik and found myself typing something as contemptible and easily refuted as that, I would change to some other hobby that involved less self-loathing afterwards.

He panicked. It’s Veteran’s Day.
In theory, homos are allowed to serve if they are not open about their sexual orientation. In practice very few actually serve at all. Everyone knows those drama queens would have a hard time hiding their ways. They wouldn’t last two seconds in the barracks. Speaking as a soldier, I wouldn’t tolerate a homo in my barracks, and none of the other soldiers I know would either.
Besides, who would want to be in a fox hole next to a queer? Could you expect them to back you up in a firefight? More likely they would duck and scream like the queens they are.
The English language version of the 11th Article of the Treaty of Tripoli (“Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary”), ending the fist Barbary war, as unanimously approved by the U.S. Senate:

“Wheee! A military of nothing but pagans, Wiccans and atheists.”

Besides, a lot of soldiers realize that you can fuck your fellow male comrades and not be one of them faggots. Especially if you’re giving and not receiving.

That last comment was meant for the pitiful closet case who fantasizes about being in the Army having hot sex with a “screaming queen” in a foxhole.
Do you want to know just HOW sad our little Troober is?
As I’ve said before, I’m pretty certain it’s the same obsessional who used to do this at Eschaton as far back (at least) as 2002 as well… he’d start out claiming to be a Naderite, with an obsession about being “namejacked”, and then as the hours of trolling went by, get angrier and angrier that people weren’t falling for it; and so he’d escalate into swapping to multiple nymns himself from multiple proxied browser windows, trying to just swamp the conversation with them… of course, he’d get confused and post the wrong personality in the wrong window, often giving the game away completely, and so, when he really started to lose control, he’d set up a fake blog to try and take incoming I.P. addresses from it… from which he’d try and trace real life details and call up to vent his fury, also under a false name; “This is Atrios, stop posting at Eschaton, fuck you!” was the call I most remember him making… “fuck you!” was always the final line though, whether people got it at work, or what ever number he’d managed to connect with a stable IP…
The fake blog here by the way, with just one entry made (and made today), under what he thinks is a witty and subtle name that he thinks you’ll assume is a satire of himself, comes from “Romance” and “Angels” above… Monsieur Psychosis eh? Bound to be a satire of Troobus! But wait, there’s no actual satire of Troobus on the blog. And of course, his posting exactly as he started out as “battered progressive”, mocking posters here and their ironic use of memes, under that Angel name 2 minutes later rather gives the game away that it’s him fishing for hits again too.
Yup, we knew him as, amongst other things, America’s Memory then. Whether Truth is the same as Goober, as other’s have stated, who cares? They are both as fucked up and impotent as each other. But I’d bet that the person who made the Sadly No videos is absolutely this current troll, and the one who I gather nearly 8 years down the line, is still doing it at Eschaton too… he had the exact same obsession with trying to satirize the hated liberals in ways that just seem too infantile for words; half a decade later, I still laugh my fucking ass off at the fake Hesiod blog he set up, that spoofed the address and the format, but just consisted of what was literally a ham fisted child’s attempt to draw a human being, in crayons no less. But perhaps, because it had a distended nose, it was supposed to represent lying? Or god knows what was going through that diseased mind at the time? But the first thought any sane person had on seeing it was; “We’re dealing with a seriously fucked up individual here!” And they still thought that after the “this is Hesiod! Stop posting! Fuck you!” calls too…
My my my, what a small world, and what a small sad, SAD little man you are, creepy internet liberal stalker! Not that I’d admit you to ever admit it’s you… you’ve wasted too much of your life for there to be a “you” that you are even aware of any more I expect. But if you just follow the same recipe for hate again, maybe this time it’ll work, and you’ll prove your worth by humbling your liberal demons, eh??
He he he. Fucknozzle!
Speaking as a soldier, I wouldn’t tolerate a homo in my barracks, and none of the other soldiers I know would either.
They’d interfere with the group showers.
Well, it is a reasonable defense mechanism. Usually, the people who are quickest to point fingers do it for the fear, that if they won’t someone will point the finger at them.
It is the group instinct. The easiest way to avoid being prayed upon by group is to make the group prey upon someone else first, and join it.

Thank you. I appreciate that. I’m in the mountain infantry. It’s gonna be tough, Afghanistan is no cake walk.
Since almost the entire nation of Afghanistan is mountains, I reckon we’re needed there pretty badly.

Speaking as a soldier, I wouldn’t tolerate a homo in my barracks, and none of the other soldiers I know would either – unless it was John Wayne
Speaking as a soldier, I wouldn’t tolerate a homo in my barracks, and none of the other soldiers I know would either.
Apparently most soldiers don’t have a problem with it: “A 2006 Zogby International poll of military members found that 26% were in favor of gays and lesbians serving in the military, 37% opposed gays and lesbians serving, and 37% expressed no preference or were unsure. 72% of respondents who had experience with gays or lesbians in their unit said that the presence of gay or lesbian unit members had either no impact or a positive impact on their personal morale, while 67% said as much for overall unit morale. Of those respondents uncertain whether they had served with gay or lesbian personnel, 51% thought that such unit members would have a neutral or positive effect on personal morale, while 48% thought that they would have a negative effect on unit morale. 73% of respondents said that they felt comfortable in the presence of gay and lesbian personnel.” (wikipedia, which links the poll)

You, Sir should be ashamed of yourself.
It is Veteran’s Day. Have some respect for those who have actually seen combat. A planned deployment is nothing- nothing at all- compared to those who have actually fought, been wounded and died in combat. That you would use your status as a reservist as a beatstick in an online comedy blog, and then proceed to denigrate the service of those who fought and died for this country on the day that we should honor them shows what a pathetic and shallow commitment you have to the ideals and values of this country.
You should not be allowed to serve.
And what about our daily DASH, dammit!
Young Dash deserves better than to have his photograph appear in the same thread as the troll-player’s current incarnation.
I don’t buy it. Why would someone join the National Guard if they wanted to “serve their country”? Why wouldn’t they join the real Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard?

I don’t buy it. Why would someone join the National Guard if they wanted to “serve their country”?
In an effort to minimize the cost of the war, which was presumed to be only a few months, “President” Bush called up the Guard for the war, not the regular military.
Which eventually he had to deploy anyway…

There’s no need to debate the bigoted Private First Class. He’ll learn next year when Congress repeals DADT and the world doesn’t end for US forces, just like it didn’t end for Canadian or British troops when they let their gay soliders come out of the closet and serve openly.
As he notes, he doesn’t know any gay soldiers, so it’s easy to make up a bunch of bullshit about how terrible it would be it they served. Then a good Army friend of his will come out, and he’ll either start hating the person or change his beliefs about gays. Most people choose the latter.

Y’all are giving Paulie too much credit. He’s as likely to be in the military as my dog is. And his homophobic comments are so laughably over the top that they must be parody.
Much as I dislike Graham – I do like this quote:
“Only in America can you make that much money crying,” said Graham, mocking Beck in early October.
He’s as likely to be in the military as my dog is.
Yeah, I thought the same thing, but decided to hold off because of Veteran’s Day, or even Armistice Day. benefit of the doubt, liberal, zombie, you know.
Of course, if he’s a troll, spoofing his service, than he’s a total egregious squeezebag who deserves to have dung beetles forcibly inserted into his nostrils and cnadiru fish introduced into his urethra. Of course, since trolls are, for the most part, subhuman, he is likely to be incapable of recognizing the inherent repulsiveness doing that spoofing on this day, of all….

I’ve got a better idea: why don’t we just jam our civil liberties down your throat while we’ve got you pinned to the ground helplessly, and you’ll just sit there and fucking DEAL?
Liberals have tried compromising rationally with conservatives for four decades and we’ve been told we’re shrill, unpatriotic, and unAmerican.
So I have a suggestion: drop the “patriotic” shit right now. You are NOT more American than I am.
After that, I have another suggestion: get used to liberals whose idea of compromise is this:
I admit, currently we’ve got too many spineless Dems in the Congress to implement this program wholesale, but the times they are a changin’ and you’re not the future. You’re the past. I suggest you get used to being ignored because the majority of Americans do not give a fuck what you think.

Similarly, you can bring a faggot home and throw it into the fireplace anywhere in Europe and it’s OK but just try that in Seattle.
I don’t think the troll is getting deployed anywhere. I don’t think it’s serving, either. Sure, it may have done some homework, but I would think given the troll character, the announcement of service would have come much, much earlier in the dialogue, if not the first outburst. Trolls want to be respected, what else could be said that would bring such a response (esp. on Veterans’ Day)? The lateness of the declaration of service, when all else fails, says to me the troll is lying.
I don’t know why the wingnuts think its their right to wheel and deal and declaim whether muslims or homosexuals are in the army. They’re in, and within a year or two will be publicly accepted. Homosexuals also.
“If there is no new post soon then I will resort to fish puns.”
Well, you can tune a piano but you can’t tuna fish.

Loud Obbs to leave CNN.
Well, I can see there’s not a whale of a lot going on around here tonight…
*ducks barrage of thrown shoes*
I’m sorry, ZMR. I’m just a little off because I had to cancel my tickets to a performance by some Benedictine Monks to which I really wanted to attend. They were going to do their traditional performance, yet with a twist- as it was taking place in a dinner theatre, it was going to be based around common light summer main courses.
It was called “Salmon Chanting Evening”. It breaks my heart not to be able to go.
What, now puns are necessary? All the zombies I know are getting brain slugs for Yule.
Actually, terribly, she might know what façade means. See, Glenn Beck has been pushing Skousen on the wingnuts, and one of Skousen’s lasting conspiracy theories is that the nominally Republican captains of industry are actually secret commies. This is why Glenn Beck got all tweaked out about fascist/”progressive” imagery at Rockefeller Center.
It’s an important thing to keep in mind when dealing with teabaggers. In their mythology, corporations are left-wing. It’s sort of a distorted, corroded, and disgorged equivalent of the lefty notion of “corporate welfare.”
O well done. That would be a flaky, yet tender evening.
I presume you were using it to butter somebody up?
It sounds like a great e-ventral. I hope you didn’t pay more than a couple of fins for tickets. I hate spending several gills for a show and then not roe-ing.
the nominally Republican captains of industry are actually secret commies
Christ, Blecch finds the most interesting new ways to display his total batshit insanity.
Great, anybody want to take my bets on Loud Obbs going to Focks?
Well, it’s not a total fluke. The guy that gave me the tickets thinks he’s Cod’s gift to mankind, and I hate to be beholden to that kind of shark. You know the type, try to hook you with a little gift, then all of a sudden it’s lunch every day, discussing inanities like the office pool, that kind of thing. I learned this in school: give somebody like this an op-perch-tuna-ty to take an inch, and you’ll find out later that it was a mile they shad.
She got her master’s at Missouri State in Fairfax, Virginia? I’m a professor in Northern Virginia and I’ve never heard of that school. I sense a “we don’t fail anyone whose check clears” proprietary university..

Well, Lou, considering you’re 0 for 0 on both those counts at the moment, maybe a change of scenery is indeed called for.
Missouri State University in Fairfax, Virginia, is totally believable, though. After all, the University of New England is in…wait for it…Armidale, New South Wales.
Proposed headline: Dey Took’er Dobbs!!!

OR… Dobbs for Govenor of Texas! OMG! DO IT LOU!!!
Dobbs would be a “Club for Growth darling for any number of Scozzafava-able districts.
(God I sure hope “to Scozzafava” doesn’t catch on as a verb. Waaaaay to hard to type, let alone pronounce. Needs to be short and punchy, like “Borking” judicial appointments. No good way to shorten it without sounding smutty.)
…for any number of Scozzafava-able districts.
There is no way in hell that Dobbs’ ego will settle for anything less than US Senator. Loud Obbs, representative of Jersey’s nth rathole district? (and I mean rathole in the most complimentary way possible) Nuh-uh.

Then they came for the rats, and I did not speak out because I was not a rat;
Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Really? The roaches were left and I’m sure they’d speak up.

Tell me this, liberals: what has your Boy King done for you lately? Socialism isn’t a sure thing. Fags still can’t get married. You still can’t get abortions wholesale. Muslims haven’t taken over yet, and the left has not shut down FOX so the truth still gets out.
People from Somalia smell like ass.
In case you missed it, I am 10th Mountain Division at Ft. Drum and I am going to be deployed. They have mountains over there so it helps. How many of you liberals have served? None of you, I bet. Shut up. On today, of all days, shut up.
we didn’t go to war with Iran, I don’t know what a wholesale abortion is, but I think you can that somewhere. I don’t know where in the left’s secret plans for America was make Somalis smell better but I guess that’s a desirable goal.
It’s funny because you’re too incoherent to be a parody troll, I think…

Seriously, why have our hosts forsaken us? Have they succumbed to Pig Cooties or are they already camped out in front of WalMart so they’ll have first dibs on Failin’ Palin’s new book?
Tell me this, liberals: what has your Boy King done for you lately
OK, fist of all, the term Boy-King is your own obsequious authoritarian construct, and nobody here views Obama as anything of the sort. It is more applicable, if at all, to how the rightwing delivered adulation and mindless support to George W Bush, but here in Liberal Land, we don’t play that Great Father game.
But and However, just in this last week:
He has told the senate to step the hell up and pass a health care reform bill.
And he has also told them that the Stupid abortion restrictions are RIGHT OUT.
And he has rejected all the warmongering option presented to him by the Chiefs in regard to Afghanistan, telling them to go the fuck home and try again.
And he’s established the disillusion of DADT.
Not bad, by Zombie Metrics.
How many of you liberals have served?
If you’ve been paying attention, there are actually quit a few veterans hanging out here. Not to mention that the head of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America is clearly a progressive.
Not to mention men of conscience like good old mikey, who some may remember.
You discredit your own brothers and sisters in arms by your whines. Stop it. Live up to the standards of your service.
Seriously, why have our hosts forsaken us?
relax, they are not zombies, they have lives.
You still can’t get abortions wholesale.
I know, and this is an unconscionable violation of WTO rules, letting the wholesale abortions from China pile up on the docks like that, I thought we were past the era of protectionism!

[Charles M. Bogart] This is the eternal cry of the Lumpy Internet Troll, frustrated by its inability to find a mate of any kind during its short lifespan. It flits from venue to venue, but is usually unable to find a mate, because of its abrasive personality and disgusting personal hygiene. It has no interest in facts or logic, but merely echos these terms that have been learned at more successful internet locations, thinking in a dim-witted fashion that the form is more important than the content.
eventually, it deceases in a drainage ditch, quivering in frustration and repressed sexual longing. Unfortunately, the breed is usually propagated by poorly-endowed individuals of otherwise viable species. [/Charles M. Bogart]

No way Lou Dobbs would take the pay cut to go into public service. He’s going to Fox.
I swallowed hard this morning….go ahead, I’ll wait…
I swallowed hard this morning and watched Imus on FoxBiz, which could conceivably be the most annoying visual thing on TV, apart from Rosie O’Donnell and maybe Greta Susteren.
Anyway, I know that Imus and Lou are really good friends and I wanted to hear his take on things, and they had some bubbleheaded blonde from FoxBiz giving what passes for a business report. Imus asked her if she thought Dobbs was headed to Fox, and called him a psychopath…but he loves him.
I’m not sure Dobbs is heading there, but it would make a nice fit for him and would round out the rather…insane…line up of crackpot and conspiracists over there.
In a related development, Sean Hannity actually admitted that Olbermann was right, and that Hannity had used footage from another protest to DC to illustrate the size of the crowds for the Sept. 12 teabagging…I mean, protest.
Two months later, and all hushhush, of course. I wonder if you could actually hear him use the word “apologize”…

should’ve gone with “bubbleheaded bleach blonde” for the don henley reference for the win.
It was Jon Stewart who pointed out the bogus clip, right?
Here’s what I like about all this: Bachmann and Hannity were claiming that 40,000 people came to the event (probably overestimating four times over), and using old footage to prove their point. The old footage was from an event that these goobers claimed had two million participants.
Double self-ownage. I love it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_characters_in_the_Timeline-191_series
Paul Mantarakis is a fictional character in an alternate history novel by Harry Turtledove, one in which the Confederates win.
I suspect that’s why he types things like “I reckon we’re needed.” If that sounds anachronistic, it’s because the character died in 1916–staying in character.
(Apologies if this has been pointed out before. It’s also odd that he didn’t mention deployment in his previous visits here.)
late to the party, but i have to say that i have always believed the only way to enact true change is to yell at anonymous people on the internet.
Boy, leave your desk for a few minutes and your pseudonyms just try to take over…
I am never, ever going to be able to read this whole thread. I don’t have enough time, and it’s growing now like a bacterium invading some young home-schooled wingnut’s spinal fluids.
Speaking of which:
Paul, we done tried facts & logic years and years ago. We were told that we in the “reality-based community” were just fucking gay for thinking that facts mattered. Also, we were told we were not American enough because we failed to wear our Made in China flag pins ebulliently enough, and that besides we were cheese-eating surrender monkeys who would welcome our Islamic Overlords with open arms.
After that, fuck it. There was no point in a factual, logical, or polite conversation. I can only handle being told I’m not a real American (born in Utah, grew up in Colorado, spent my adulthood in Kentucky) and I’m just some Coastal Elitist bleeding heart queerbate who doesn’t know what Heartland America is about. I’ve also been told that because I’m a liberal I can’t have a real (six figure) job (in IT) and of course know nothing of family (two children, married 17 years — unfortunately recently divorced but at least not because my wife was lying on a hospital bed with terminal cancer unlike your paragon of Fambly Values Newt Gingrich) values or anything else.
At this point I, and probably most libs, had decided that you conservatools are bigoted, small-minded, ignorant, arrogant, assholes and that civility and polity have left the room since, oh, about 1997. So, in closing, fuck what you think sideways off into outer space.
Well said slippy. Although 1997 seems a tad generous.
Not a hard call. FOX News likes them the pure and Nordic wimmin folk.
FOX News likes them the pure and Nordic wimmin folk
You mean Aryans.
slippy – that rant was a thing of pure beauty.
If you leave a thread for long enough, eventually when you come back it’s like having a brand new thread!
Sorta.
Slippy, if you start a blog I promise to read it every day.
So a few days ago we finally crossed the threshold–double digit unemployment this is despite Hopey’s “stimulus” program, he said WITHOUT the stimulus that we MIGHT see unemployment cross 8%. Waaaaaaay off there, BO. And when you take into account the number of people who have stopped looking for work, and those only working part-time who want full-time work, unemployment is closer to 20%.
How do you think those people who have been laid off or unable to find work will vote next time, libs? Do you think they will re-elect the Democrat Party when unemployment is 13% in 2012? Even if we miraculously begin adding jobs at a 1990s pace, unemployment won’t go below 6% until 2015.
Must suck to be in charge of the federal government right now!
Poor Troofie…dude, it must be tough being the last troll in on a long thread…I feel pity for you.
No, actually, it’s contempt. I lied.
And unlike Reagan, Hopey can’t lower interest rates (they’re already at ZERO) and he can’t cut taxes. In fact, he’s going to RAISE taxes soon when the Bush tax cuts expire, digging an even deeper whole for the economy.
Must suck to be in charge of the federal government right now!
No thanks to the idiots who were in charge the previous eight years, Troofus.
Must suck to be in charge of the federal government right now!
Yeah, but at least it’s a problem he’ll try to address. Unlike BushCo who’d just be off at his ranch, playing at being a cowboy. Or your party of nope who’ll recommend… wait for it:
tax cuts!
Run along and let the adults try to fix your mess.
Blame everyone but himself–the new Obama/lib mantra.
The “adults” you speak of already tried to “fix the mess” with massive government spending (a ONE TRILLION dollar “stimulus”) and even by their own measures, it FAILED.
Own your failure, libs.
In fact, he’s going to RAISE taxes soon when the Bush tax cuts expire, digging an even deeper whole for the economy.
Must suck to have so little understanding of economics that the only solution your ideology allows you to apply to any problem is tax cuts. Thank jeebus we had FDR when we needed him.
Great, now it smells like old fish and wingnugget flop sweat. And who left the Limburger & egg salad sandwich in the sauna?
What do you think raising taxes by billions of dollars will do to an economy already in the toilet?
Taxes take money from productive people that could be used to invest and create jobs and confiscates it to use on an unproductive thing (government). Government does not produce any goods, and what services it does provide are of inferior quality to the private sector.
that’s our Troofy. Rejoicing in bad news. Why does he hate Amurika?
Own your failure, libs.
The failure is all yours, dumbass.
Shouldn’t you be bringing up the Laffer Curve right about now?

Spoof alert.
Yeah, I didn’t want those grapes anyway!
“the failure is all yours”
I’ll tell that to Barney Frank and Chriss Dodd.
Troofy hasn’t got any solutions, anyway, so why listen to him? He’s like the nagging spouse (either gender) who has nothing to contribute but criticism. And when there’s trouble, all he does is nag and complain, never pitches in.
His annoying character here has to be an accurate reflection of his personal character in real life.
I hope he’s a single recluse – I’d pity someone living with him.
Solutions?
How about we cut wasteful spending from the government. How about less taxes, less programs, less government, and less burdensome regulation?
seriously, dragon age is a terrible game and i don’t know why i keep playing it. i wish there were something that somehow combined the princess bride with the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy and also had a killer 80s soundtrack. i would never ever bother with real life again.
How about less taxes, less programs, less government, and less burdensome regulation?
“Now step over to the Taxcutinator and I will shout slogans at you!”
Yay! Less government! Less burdensome regulation! There’s still some beef in this country that doesn’t have Mad Cow in it! There are still some bridges that HAVEN’T fallen down! This is unacceptable!
Yeah! Who wants to use those crummy government interstate highways, when we have such a delightful selection of privately-run ones?
Because after all, tax cuts for the rich are a solution that has never been tried before in all of our history. How do we know it won’t lead to a fabulous economic renaissance? You liberals have no sense of innovation!
Frist!
The last eight years weren’t MY responsibility, nope, nope!
If I remember the economy did very well under Bush until the Democrats took over Congress. Hmmmm….
“How about we cut wasteful spending from the government.”
Excellent. Let’s start with the military. You know, the one we spend more on than the next 40 countries combined? How many Cold War era programs do we need to keep?
Then, lets cut the give-aways to the coal and oil industries. Let’s cut the subsidies to the agriculture industry.
Hey, this is fun!
705th!
i would never ever bother with real life again.
Again?
If I remember …
Obviously you don’t.
How about less taxes, less programs, less government, and less burdensome regulation?
Just like Somalia. Brilliant.
If I remember the economy did very well under Bush until the Democrats took over Congress. Hmmmm….
I like this way of thinking.
“The stairs collapsed because you set foot on them, not because water has been eroding the bedrock underneath them for years! It’s all YOUR fault!”
I always blame everyone but myself for my mistakes, yup, yup, durrrr….
Just like Somalia.
Only without all those awful Somalians spraying their graffiti everywhere.
Mission Accomplished! Bring it On! Yup, yup, durrr…

Shuffling to the bathroom this morning I farted and right at that moment the sun peeked over the horizon. Y’all motherfuckers better keep feeding me homemade enchiladas or the sun might go away forever.
My mom says there’s a lot of black people in Somalia
Even though I admit that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, burning trillions of dollars on a pointless war against Iraq obviously had no effect on the economy! Yup, yup, durrr….

i make occasional excursions.
Of all the wingnut whinging, I find the whinging about “excessive regulation” perhaps the most tiresome. Thus the following open letter:
Dear Wingnuts,
If your company can’t make a profit without killing, poisoning and/or maiming your employees; or without polluting air, land and water; or without producing substandard, dangerous or non-functioning products; if the only hope you see for the economy is a return to the days when human life was cheap, fraud was a way of life and the Earth was assumed to be infinite, U R DOIN IT RONG! Sit down and let somebody else have a turn.
No love at all,
Me
Speaking of which, remember how under Dubya when it was obvious how things were sucking even then, that wingnuts never blamed Clinton or Carter or the liberal media, but totally owned up to their mistakes and made America a safer place? Remember that? Yeah, me neither.
But but but I lust after Dragon’s Age: Origins like I have lusted after nothing before, not even Jason Scott Lee or B.D. Wong, and that is saying something.

well my complaints are mainly:
1) i’ve come to loathe the tagalong randroid mage whom i have to keep bribing with sad little trinkets to get her to like me so she keeps fighting well. she’s also basically an xp vulture against easy targets and useless vs more difficult magic resistant targets.
2) long cinematic scenes and dialogue scenes i can’t seem to fast forward through. these are supposed to make the game feel more like interactive fiction, but it cramps my killing and acquiring style.
3) everything is linear and quest driven. no blundering around aimlessly having random encounters. of course i haven’t played a next gen game yet that encouraged that, not even oblivion, so maybe that aspect of gaming is just passe’. maybe i’m just a dinosaur.
if you really want a piece of interactive fantasy fiction, it’s probably a pretty good game. and the voiceover work is really pretty good. i think some people will really have a serious hard on for the game, but personally i’m just waiting for left for dead to come out.
The pc version of Dragon’s Age: Origins is indeed completely awesome. Higly recommended to old-school rpg fans.
And yeah, Troofy, if M’cPalin had been elected everyone in America would be gainfully employed, there’d be now wars, the economy would be surging, and you’d be getting laid, right?
Freakin’ typos… grrrr…
Yeah, I would have a hard time deciding between Left for Dead 2 and a willing JSL. Perhaps it speaks to my advanced age, but at this point I would actually lean toward the video game…
The question is, ‘no” or “new”?
Can we get a thousand comments, folks? Don’t stop now!!!
The pc version of Dragon’s Age: Origins is indeed completely awesome. Higly recommended to old-school rpg fans.
So, political correctness has now infected the “kill things, take their stuff” genre of gaming? How is it PC? Are the orcs misunderstood freedom fighters, driven to sack villages because they’ve be plowed under by the evil faerie/industrial complex? *snerk*

Guess again, shithead!
When a six-year-old plays Mozart from sheet music, is it Mozart’s fault that it doesn’t sound good?
So when a group of selfish, closeted pigs interpret a thousand-plus year old set of spiritual ideas to mean that they should deny people rights and starve the poor (while they diddle choirboys), in direct opposition to what the set of ideas actually exhort them to do, why do you blame the ideas? Isn’t it more the fault and responsibility of the pigs?

God created the earth and heavens and universe and then went off and made himself a nice ham sandwich.

Gods used to be much more with the god+people sexytime. Sure, godly golden showers and swan-rape can get old, too, but stirring shit up over and over is boring AND orgasmless. Unless you’re a neocon, of course.

although it could be worse. if we ever have a president who reads plantinga, i’m moving to zembla.
golden showers and swan-rape
i saw that film. a pinter/losey collaboration, i think. later referenced in songs by lovers and sad giants, the psychedelic furs, and, strangely enough, an episode of hill street blues.
sad lovers and giants, rather. they might be sad giants, too. but giants have no reason to be sad, since they were watchers and taught the comely daughters of men to wear eyeliner then fucked their brains out. it wasn’t until robert smith that someone taught the comely sons of men to properly wear eyeliner.
Roy has the advance SCOOP on “Going Rogue.”
Hilarious.
actually i thought roy phoned in his palin piece. if you replace references to middle american icons with “starbucks” and “american apparel” and “i’m paying 3000 dollars a month for this apartment? seriously?” it could read like an unfunny corn pone comedian making fun of new york.

I don’t know what it says about me that I’ve read every single one of the 800+ posts in this thread but I’m pretty sure it isn’t good.
But now that we’re here, let’s push on to four digits! C’mon, trolls, you can do it!
Yah, where is troofus? Aren’t there pages to be bookmarked, great liberal freakouts to be a-started? Back in the day, trolls had a WORK ethic….
Back in the day, trolls had a WORK ethic….
I’m very concerned.
I mean, he’s even stopped stalking me on-line, and Googling me and sending threatening e-mails to my spamtrap…
Jesus, your memory SUCKS.
The economy took a giant steaming SHIT almost as soon as Bush was appointed and started vehemently talking it down. It took another SHIT when 9/11 struck, and then unemployment went WHEEEEEEE for just about everyone starting in 2002, and the job market swirled down the shitter and has basically NEVER recovered.
What fucking fantasy land were you living in when the economy did well over the last 9 years? Nobody else thinks so, doofus.
Troofie’s still working on that magnum opus which will utterly disgrace the diabolical Obama children.
So far, he’s pretty sure that since they’re girls, they most certainly have cooties.
I mean, he’s even stopped stalking me on-line, and Googling me and sending threatening e-mails to my spamtrap…
Tell us a story?
Also, are our proprietors going to come back tomorrow, post a lengthy rant about “safe spaces,” and demand to know if we’re “all in”?
Is it me or is this thread starting to feel like we’re trapped in the S,N! version of a Beckett play?
Waiting for Godot or Endgame?–your call.
Also, are our proprietors going to come back tomorrow
I would have put even money on that…until SOMEone posted details from the Orly Taitz civil suit documents…

Amazing that you can’t handle victory. Mostly because it wasn’t victory at all, merely a corrupt media/ACORN/racist voter-influenced bump in the road for conservatism; truly a few years in the wilderness are doing the GOP well. Just look at the passion of the tea parties! Look at the millions we’ve had descend on Washington! Look at all that and pretend like you’ll still have majorities in 2010 and the White House in 2012. It is to laugh.

Ah. So the teabaggers are protesting for a vague … um, concept?
Boy, that should turn out well.
This comment contains some tough news. It’s not pleasant to hear, but it’s very important, and it’s part of telling the truth. If you disagree with my claim that The Truth is hell-bent on suppressing our freedom, then read no further.
For brevity, I won’t comment further on that but rather on the way that Truth’s idiotic claim that rash roustabouts are all inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive is just that, an idiotic claim. Truth says he’s going to create an ideological climate that will enable him to use paid informants and provocateurs to annihilate a person’s personality, individuality, will, and character sooner or later. Good old Truth. He just loves to open his mouth and let all kinds of things come out without listening to how shiftless they sound. By the same token, he shouldn’t engage in the trafficking of human beings. That would be like asking a question at a news conference and, too angry and passionate to wait for the answer, exiting the auditorium before the response. Both of those actions draw unsuspecting antagonists into the orbit of immoral, unholy beguilers.
I could accept, perhaps, bunco games backed by the forces of logic and powerful reasoning. Rantings marked with hypocrisy and contradiction, however, merit none of my respect. I don’t need to tell you that Truth is battening on us. That should be self-evident. What is less evident is that Truth has been trying for some time to sell the public on an emotionalism-based government. His sales pitch proceeds both pragmatically and emotionally. The pragmatic argument: Truth is as innocent as a newborn lamb. The emotional argument: Interventionism forms the core of any utopian society. As you can see, neither argument is valid, which should indicate to you that the wild thugs that comprise Truth’s cameralism movement are as thick as thieves. If one of them is willing to undermine liberty in the name of liberty, then they all are. What’s more, none of them is able to accept that Truth has been known to say that his decisions are based on reason. That notion is so maladroit, I hardly know where to begin refuting it. Because The Truth is so caught up in trying to provoke terrible, total, universal, and merciless destruction, I’d like to conclude this letter by quoting to him the last line of R. M. Rilke’s poem, “Archaic Torso of Apollo”: “You must change your life.”

History is forming and firming up harder than the proverbial brick wall right outside their congressional glass house.
So… people who live in glass houses shouldn’t… have… brick walls… built… next to… them?
Is there something in the conservative mindset that prevents them from using figures of speech correctly? Or is it just that none of them are native English speakers?
What is the brick wall supposed to do to the glass house? Fall over on top of it? That would seem to be a metaphor for “we’re destroying ourselves and taking you with us!”, which, come to think of it, is a good summing up of the teapartyists’ goals.

Come down from your rage high enough to try and post normally have we, Troofus? But here’s the thing, even when you are relatively “sane”, for a trooful definition of sane, you and your life have just become an absolute parody… Observe!
Ahh, my beloved liberal droogs,
Quoting Clockwork Orange because, despite what those nasty liberals say about you, you aren’t a violent anti social fuckwit? Bound to work!
imitating and obsessing about me forever and ever. It’s adorable the way you long for me to post,
But you said you weren’t ever going to post here again! Why would we want an honest upstanding convservative to break his… Oh! I get it, you’ve been “pwned” as you sometimes claim you do to others here, and don’t yet realise it!
the way you create sockpuppets to mimic me (poorly) or pretend like very lost troll soul who happens upon this pathetic place is The Truth.
Now I could sit here and explain that no, no one really misses you, until we all fall about laughing at a reminder of you, as you yourself just stated… but that would be too painful an awareness to have wouldn’t it? Incidentally, the reason those “sockpuppets” are so “poor” is because no one cares enough to put any more effort in. This message is on course to have taken me maybe 5 minutes to type, including quote formatting. Ooooh such an important person you are, yes you are wikkle diddums!
Pretty soon you’ll lose all memory of your Gary Ruppert clown and have “The Truth” and all forms thereof starting off posts with the classic “The fact is…”
LOL WUT? I thought we thought everyone here was you? So you now claim that there’s more than one troll mocked here? And despite this place being so terrible, you admit now you obsessively read and learn and remember (even though you try to forget, addiction is a terrible thing isn’t it?) the other memes and habits of Sadly No! But don’t worry, that Bitch Ruppert won’t steal all your beloved attention forever! You’ll show him won’t you?! You’ll batter the progressives at Sadly No until they love you and you only!
Amazing that you can’t handle victory. Mostly because it wasn’t victory at all, merely a corrupt media/ACORN/racist voter-influenced bump in the road for conservatism;
And there’s the Troofus we all know and “love”! If Troofus can’t have the liberals, NO ONE CAN! Troofus DESTROY all sense of liberal accomplishment (he wishes)!
truly a few years in the wilderness are doing the GOP well. Just look at the passion of the tea parties! Look at the millions we’ve had descend on Washington!
Except… well, does it really need pointing out that Troofus’ amazingly wrong political radar claims millions for the Tea Bagging Orgy on the day when Glenn Beck himself has to admit he’s running video of a different event in Washington entirely, which itself never claimed anywhere near 3 figure attendance in the first place? How can one man be so consistently disconnected from actual “Truth”?!
Look at all that and pretend like you’ll still have majorities in 2010 and the White House in 2012. It is to laugh.
Sometime, somewhere, Troofus heard “it is to laugh”. And it wormed it’s way into his OCD addled mind and he thought; I must repeat that at every possible opportunity. And no one knows why. But he’ll do it, all the same, because argle bargle waaagh!

Come on, own up, which of you “libs” wrote this as a parody of The Truths fractured mind? It’s just too delicious a cake to be real, right?!
4 minutes 20 seconds to write by the way. Or WAS it? Am I making a hipster reference then? Or JUST PRETENDING to be a hipster, because we’re all “faux” hipsters, what ever that means in whacko world apparently? Poor old Truthy, hipsters stole a girl he used to sit in the bushes leering at (he never did get to talk to her) and wouldn’t accept his extreme reactionary views in their hipster student bars (he never wanted to go to them or get an education anyway) and now HE’S BEEN REJECTED BY PEOPLE WHO AREN’T EVEN REAL HIPSTERS!

Bravo, Alec. Might I suggest “The Mung Sprout?” It’s like 2 “smokey eyes,” but with a slightly larger pillow.
The nature and extent of our current national crisis, as well as its causes and cures, are the subject of intense political struggle. I offer this letter as a contribution to that struggle and debate in hopes of helping to hone in on The Truthful Problem With Ruppert’s faults with laser-like precision. For the sake of review, what The Truthful Problem With Ruppert is doing is not an innocent, recreational sort of thing. It is a criminal activity, it is an immoral activity, it is a socially destructive activity, and it is a profoundly grungy activity. Although I generally try to be tolerant of unabashed laziness, defiant incompetence, willful ignorance, and combative arrogance, he spouts a lot of numbers whenever he wants to make a point. He then subjectively interprets those numbers to support his endeavors while ignoring the fact that he keeps saying that the rest of us are an inferior group of people, fit only to be enslaved, beaten, and butchered at the whim of our betters. This is exemplary of the nonsensical rhetoric and scaremongering that typifies the language of refractory spoilsports and other audacious, self-indulgent criminal masterminds.
Unsettling as that is, the more infuriating fact is that the main dissensus between me and The Truthful Problem With Ruppert is that I insist that it is of paramount importance not to let The Truthful Problem With Ruppert’s worshippers keep essential documents hidden from the public until they become politically moot. He, on the other hand, contends that ebola, AIDS, mad-cow disease, and the hantavirus were intentionally bioengineered by lascivious, pudibund quacks for the purpose of population reduction. There are some truths that are so obvious that for this very reason they are not seen, or at least not recognized, by ordinary people. One noteworthy example is the truism that he wants to prevent us from commenting on his allegations. If he manages to do that, he’ll have plenty of time to focus on his core mission: turning boeotians loose against us good citizens. We need to look beyond the most immediate and visible problems with The Truthful Problem With Ruppert. We need to look at what is behind these problems and understand that The Truthful Problem With Ruppert has been trying to convince us that he has been robbed of all he does not possess. This pathetic attempt to force people to act in ways far removed from the natural patterns of human behavior deserves no comment other than to say that The Truthful Problem With Ruppert once tried to promote mediocrity over merit. If you consider this an exception to the rule then you clearly don’t understand how The Truthful Problem With Ruppert operates. I hope, however, that you at least understand that anyone who hasn’t been living in a cave with his eyes shut and his ears plugged knows that there is a format he should follow for his next literary endeavor. It involves a topic sentence and supporting facts.
All of these things are related: Bonapartism, The Truthful Problem With Ruppert’s animadversions, and the general breakdown of our society. I’ll even tell you how they’re related. It’s really very simple. In essence, I plan to contribute to the intellectual and spiritual health of the body politic. This is a choice I have made; your choice is up to you. But let me remind you that The Truthful Problem With Ruppert’s lickspittles have decided, behind closed doors and in closed sessions, to foster and intensify The Truthful Problem With Ruppert’s drug-drenched drama of immorality. Well, that’s getting away from my main topic, which is that he always looks the other way when one of his zealots gets it in his head to write off whole sections of society. Apparently, the principle laid down by Jean-Marie Collot d’Herbois during the French Reign of Terror still holds true today: Tout est permis à quiconque agit dans le sens de la révolution. I can see from the length of what I’ve written so far that I should save the rest of my comments about The Truthful Problem With Ruppert for a future letter. Let me close by stating simply that The Truthful Problem With Ruppert’s meandering and maundering comments definitely indicate that he intends to sully my reputation by the next full moon.
Not if you’re old enough to swear, dear.
Indeed.
Fuck the Catholic Church. Also.
All right: Sadly, No! Industries can’t be arsed exposing the greatest swindle in history—an issue so explosive that it’s never mentioned in any of the weak-ass political polemics we see tossed back and forth by our two determined-to-conceal-the-crimes-of-capitalism political parties—so I will:

By the way, thanks,The Truthful Problem With Ruppert: I never thought of A Clockwork Orange, probably since it’s been 40 years since I read it. I truly wondered where the pseudo-Russian came from. I kind of assumed Troofy, like a lot of neocons, was an ex-commie, but then decided, no, he was too illiterate for that.

Okay. Belgian stew (beef, braised in beer with onions, and carrots) ladled over garlicky smashed potatoes.

As it turns out, JiSM did fuck Palin after all.
She said when she asked the McCain campaign if it would help her financially, she was told McCain’s camp would have paid all the bills if he’d won; since he lost, the vetting legal bills were her responsiblity
For some reason, I don’t believe this. Did they pass the cost of vetting any other potential candidate around?
also, $500,000 seems like too much to pay for the little amount of vetting they got.
Oh I noticed it straight away (having tried to learn the language, and my degree being in Russian History, filthy communist that I am) but you don’t want to think too deeply about the fact that The Truth seriously self identifies with Alex DeLarge… especially when you remember what he does to a Liberal and his wife in both book and film. Because whilst Burgess included that element partly as a catharsis for his own wife’s rape, and his struggles with the emotions it brought forth for a decent person in a violent, shitty world, The Truth quotes it because…. well… the nicest we can hope for is just a complete lack of any social awareness at all and he’s easily distracted by Kubrickian shinies. Hopefully.
Palin laments that she wasn’t allowed to bring up loads of family members to the stage while McCain gave his election night concession speech, the vice presidential candidate having found out minutes earlier that she wouldn’t be permitted to give her own speech.
Puh-lease! It’s still all about her, isn’t it?
She alleges that Couric and CBS left out her more “substantive” remarks and settled for “gotcha” moments.
I predict the upcoming release of some out-takes.

A $500,000 for vetting Sarah Palin at that point in her life is tantamount to paying $250,000 for each event that wasn’t typical for your average community college graduate housewife.
(1) Back before she had a regular income stream from the lecture circuit,
Palin hit up her supporters for $$$ “to pay her legal bills for frivolous ethics complaints”.
(2) Someone queried why so much money was needed, and whether they can expect back any of it that wasn’t used.
(3) Palin explains that half a mill was actually reimbursement to the McCain campaign (who evidently pressed their expense claims more forcefully than the RNC did with its clothing bill).
Should we believe her? Decisions, decisions.

“The enemy of my anemone is my frond.” OK I know the fishy puns on this thread were like last week, but I was gonna post it when the trollish creatures were yelling at each other somewhere up there. Always fucking late, even on a neverending thread.
Ultimately, all threads are about POOP.
I think it has something to do with production. We must produce a 1000 comments or else. We should form a union and ask for double pay and overtime.
That “she has to pay $500,000 for being investigated” stuff seems ridiculous to me.
This thread lacks penis so, PENIS!

So if she’s so dumb she signed off on being responsible for her own vetting, didn’t know who was paying for the clothes, couldn’t hack it with that Big Meany Katie Couric, and had the idea that it would be cool if the losing VP candidate got to speak on Election Night, just how good a candidate is she?
Seems like by airing all her petty grievances about how all those meanies in Big Politics and Media flimflammed her, she’s pretty much pointing out she’s not qualified.
The Fraternity of Meth-Addled Hamsters have a fair bit of clout with S,N! management, ever since their militancy during the last strike. Don’t know if they admit commentors.
I think we should seize the means of production.
Incidentally, if Iris, or fake Iris gets 1337 again – I WILL NOT BE AMUSED.
Penis Hummer!

Pour souper demain nous aurons les “moon cakes” au jus.
Dessert: vinegar and Robotussin.
“Overtime”? “Unions”? For shame. As if the thrill of socialist competition and the rewards it gives the most inspiring squadrons – localvore troll, visit from chief liberal chuckle-wit Keith Olbermann, or even honor of name Sadly No Comment Section “H.L. Mencken” – were not enough.
This thread, vast as it is, has a distressing paucity of Hitler.
TITLE=”Greg Wood? Really?”>PENIS.
Did someone say poop?

Ghost Poopie

Clean Poopie
The kind where you poopie it out, see it in the toilet, but there is nothing on the toilet paper.
Wet Poopie
The kind where you wipe your butt fifty times and it still feels unwiped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt and your underwear so you don’t runie them with a stain.
Second Wave Poopie
The kind that happens when you’re done poopie-ing and you’ve pulled your pants up to your knees, and you realize you have to poopie some more.
Turtle Poopie
The kind of poopie that pops out a little and goes back in a few times before it finallly comes out
Pop-a-Vein-in-your-Forehead-Poopie
The kind where you strain so much to get it out, you practically have a stroke.
Lincoln Log Poopie
The kind of Poopie that is so huge you’re afraid to flush without first breaking it into little pieces with the plunger.
Gas-sy Poopie
The kind where it’s so noisy, everyone within earshot is giggling!
Drinker Poopie

Corn Poopie

Gee-I-Wish-I-Could-Poop Poopie
The kind where you want to Poopie, but all you do is it on the toilet and fart a few times.

You are not even at the toilet, because you are sure you are about to fart, but, OOPS—a Poopie!
The Dangling Poopie
This Poopie refuses to drop into the toilet even though you know you are done poopie-ing. You just pray that a shake or two will cut it loose.
FYWP!
That “she has to pay $500,000 for being investigated” stuff seems ridiculous to me.
That’s because it isn’t true
gocart, you could’ve broken that up into separate comments and we’d be farther along.
You Can’t Get Whale-Penis Leather Seats After All
Penis Hummer bummer.
Just as a warning to y’all – I have a PENIS in moderation, which while very slightly NSFW, is not going to get cut. Thus the comment count is going to get bumped up when someone Fetches Yon Worthy Post.
Did someone say Kitler?
http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/cgi-bin/seigmiaow.pl
Okay, maybe it ain’t quite as non-NSFW as I’m making it out to be:
PENIS.
This thread, vast as it is, has a distressing paucity of Hitler.
You know who else suffered from a distressing paucity of Hitler? Hitler, that’s who.
Oh, Hah! That was fast.

Your post could have been broken up into more than a dozen more little postini, in order to hasten the hoped for 1000.
You can never have not enough Hitler, I always say.
really, it could have
Turtle Poopie
I thought that was a Prairie Dog.
(Yay — I got to make a contribution to this thread! And, a high-class one, too! Also.)
had you been a bit more ON THE BALL
Oh, man, pedestrian beat me to the point.
Palin and Prejean are both a couple of lying grifters and both releasing their “books” at the same time. I think a cage match might be a good promotional effort.
You know who else liked to post? Hitler! That’s who!
If the post is a-rockin don’t come knockin.
For dinner I had colcannon with sourdough bread, beer and Hitler, and apple crumble for dessert. All home made except the beer and the Hitler.
Whatever happened to Ann Coulter? Didn’t she used to write books or something?
Ann got out-extreme-mulated by the Becks and Palins of the New GOP World Order.
She’s pretty much a Liberal now.
Well, now I can’t leave till we hit the mark.
The counter will tick past 1000 and it will be great but then I will think: “Is that all there is?”
