Possibly The Dumbest Thing Yet Said About Shirley Sherrod
Posted on July 26th, 2010 by Tintin
ABOVE: Jeffrey Lord
Jeffrey Lord, The American Spewtator
Sherrod Story False
- Shirley Sherrod is a bigger liar than Andrew Breitbart because she claimed that a relative of hers was lynched when in fact he was merely beaten to death.*
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
*The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which served as a model for state anti-lynching laws, defines lynching as “depriving any person of his life without authority of law.” No ropes mentioned anywhere at all.
HOLY FUCK.
I want to know what the hell they’re thinking when they say shit like this.
Beatings don’t kill people. Massive internal hemorrhages kill people.
Not getting off the boat.
But Jeffrey Lord sure as hell sounds like a guy who would benefit from getting his neck stretched.
I *so* wish I believed in hell.
And what do ya bet Herman Munster up there goes to church two or three times a week and thinks he’s got the moral high ground because of it.
I *so* wish I believed in hell.
You don’t believe in other people? Solipsism run amok.
I *so* wish I believed in hell.
I wish I believed in it, just so I could enjoy the looks on these guys’ faces when they got told, nope, not getting through the Pearly Gates. Sure, I’d be stuck in hell with ’em, but I’d like to think those few seconds of Schadenfreude would keep me sustained for a while…
You don’t believe in other people? Solipsism run amok.
Oh, I meant the traditional version of hell, with that dude with the pointy stick thing and fire and stuff. If we’re talking about your interpretation, then I certainly do, and Jeffrey Lord is a perfect case in point.
Always. Trust. The. Shorter.™
Oh good grief. Even the shorter pisses me off.

Yeah, me too. Plus, I’ve been plotting revenge on various people all morning, but it would be nice if God would just take care of that for me.

Have you tried asking nicely?
Can I interest you in a telepathic death ray? It only works intermittently, but I’ve found it very handy in long meetings.
Can I interest you in a telepathic death ray?
I just used the New & Improved Karma, which is surprisingly efficient at getting people back.

Not lately.

What’s the range on that baby?
Would someone please just run over and check on the kind of countertops Shirley has and the size of her television so we can finally leave her alone?
I keep telling myself I need to write a novel that’s basically the anti Left Behind — the Rapture happens, the fundies don’t go anywhere, and then spend the rest of the novel willingly serving the Antichrist, just to get revenge on God for rejecting them.
If I had a better grasp of sci-fi/fantasy or some actual time I could spend putting a few thousand words on paper every night, maybe I’d finally put the durn thing together…
What’s the range on that baby?
Not sure, but when I’m focused on it, people on the subway all move away from me.

You know what will suck? If it turns out Jesus will forgive them. He can be such a tool.

This is amazeballs. Why does everyone else always have the good ideas???

That bastard.
No, the man was not lynched. I am also not taking a steaming shit on Jeffrey Lord’s desk. I am fertilizing it.
Lord’s too crazy for some Spectator regulars:

Wow. That actually gave me a little hope for humanity. Just a little.
Regardless of the dictionary’s definition, English is considered the most nuanced of languages because each word has a specific, unique meaning giving context and emotion to any written or spoken idea or statement. I don’t need a dictionary to instruct me on the accepted meaning of the word “lynching.”
Which is why a hanging is a hanging, a beating is a beating, and lynched is the unlawful deprivation of life by a non-governmental group.
Idjit.
This is amazeballs. Why does everyone else always have the good ideas???
*making note to write anit-Rapture novel*
Because you don’t steal them.
Radley Balko has a more detailed critique of the article here
Hey, maybe there’s something to this libertarianism.
I keep telling myself I need to write a novel that’s basically the anti Left Behind — the Rapture happens, the fundies don’t go anywhere, and then spend the rest of the novel willingly serving the Antichrist, just to get revenge on God for rejecting them.
I’m not sure they’d go over to the antichrist to spite God, but they would probably just claim it wasn’t the rapture at all, and any minute now the REAL Jesus would show up and gather them up to fundy heaven.
Of course his name is “Jeffrey Lord.” Who else would write something like that?
“Regardless of the dictionary’s definition, English is considered the most nuanced of languages because each word has a specific, unique meaning giving context and emotion to any written or spoken idea or statement. I don’t need a dictionary to instruct me on the accepted meaning of the word ‘lynching.'”
Also, Saddam totes had WMDs, and fascists were liberals and liberals are fascists.
PS: We’ve always been at war with eastasia.
Indeed.
And when massive internal hemorrhaging caused by beatings is outlawed, only outlaws will cause massive internal hemorrhaging by beatings.
Because you don’t steal them.
Ah, that’s how that works? Damn my integrity and morals!
Lord, Jeffrey was a soldier of the king…
Hey, maybe there’s something to this libertarianism.
I’ve always thought so. I consider myself a true libertarian. Government is the lesser of two evils of an organized society, the corporation being far more evil and far more insidious, since it is answerable only to…government!
By the way, just why does it derange all you racist anti-white liberals so much just because someone stands up for the honor of Southern segregationist white mobs murdering blacks extralegally?
What’s so wrong with that?
English is considered the most nuanced of languages because each word has a specific, unique meaning giving context and emotion to any written or spoken idea or statement.
Actually, that’s nonsense regardless of the nauseating context of this discussion. English is full of words with overlapping meaning, synonyms, and words with multiple and even (cleave) contradictory meanings.
Hey, maybe there’s something to this libertarianism.
VINDICATION!.
I’ve always thought so. I consider myself a true libertarian. Government is the lesser of two evils of an organized society, the corporation being far more evil and far more insidious, since it is answerable only to…government!
And, at least, in a proper democracy, the power that the government has is at the behest of the people, whereas the power of a corporation lies in just a few guys who already probably had lots of power to begin with.
Actually, that’s nonsense regardless of the nauseating context of this discussion. English is full of words with overlapping meaning, synonyms, and words with multiple and even (cleave) contradictory meanings.
This is true, but it’s also true that English has the most extensive vocabulary of any of the alphabet-based languages (if you read some linguists, of course).
Which is why it astounds me that a jackass like that commenter can say that with a straight-face while undoubtedly using words like “problematic” incorrectly.
See RobNYNY1957’s response in the comments, N__B. If you dare disembark!
Actually, that’s nonsense regardless of the nauseating context of this discussion. English is full of words with overlapping meaning, synonyms, and words with multiple and even (cleave) contradictory meanings.
Um, yeah, and that “point” he made indicates that. Shorter jackass: “Words mean whatever I want them to mean.”
And, at least, in a proper democracy, the power that the government has is at the behest of the people, whereas the power of a corporation lies in just a few guys who already probably had lots of power to begin with.
Exactly, and precisely why, if Adam Smith could look forward 250 years, he would have more carefully written “Wealth of Nations” to include a chapter or two on the lesser of two evils, I have no doubt.
I had to click the link to see if the shorter was a distortion or not — not cuz I don’t trust you guys, but it was simply too stupid to be believed. Oh, the egg on my face. It’s even dumber than expected. “Because I fucked up the facts on Sherrod last time, I will now make up for it by nitpicking where there are no nits to pick all in an attempt to still hate her, cuz her liberal blackness makes me skeered.”
Re: comment at July 26, 2010 at 17:20
Ha!
J– –
Thanks, but I NEVER get out of the boat. Perhaps Rob might repeat himself on his next visit here.
Besides, it’s been so many years, why won’t you racist libruls stop tarring the word “lynching” with such negative connotations?
I know two perfectly nice gentlemen named “Lynch.”
why won’t you racist libruls stop tarring the word “lynching” with such negative connotations?
Lynchburg is also where Jack Daniels is made.
Happy now????
I’m sure Howard Kurtz will soon be along to tell us that this column was the fault of the Obama administration for having pressured Sherrod to resign in the first place, thus the fault of liberals, so SHUT UP.
Regardless of the dictionary’s definition, English is considered the most nuanced of languages because each word has a specific, unique meaning giving context and emotion to any written or spoken idea or statement. I don’t need a dictionary to instruct me on the accepted meaning of the word “lynching.”
This is why THERE ARE NO PUNS IN ENGLISH.
Were all of you screaming about Eraserhead and Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks? I thought not, you racists.
T-
I think you meant Jeffrey Lord.

Yeah, I don’t grok much to hierarchical constructions in general, but we’re human and it’s pretty much a part of who we are. That doesn’t mean that I won’t seek to make realistic choices on minimizing that type of shit in society, though. Republicans, on the other hand, get off on it as long as they’re not at the bottom of the pile.
Were all of you screaming about Eraserhead and Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks? I thought not, you racists.
“Firewalk With Me” made me a little ill.
Were all of you screaming about Eraserhead and Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks?
Does bored thumb-twirling count as screaming?
Lynching is the ultimate form of free expression! And brings us closer to the libertarian ideal of people taking back their right to distribute justice as they best see fit!
Does bored thumb-twirling count as screaming?
For “Vanilla Sky” it does.
Does bored thumb-twirling count as screaming?
For “Vanilla Sky” it does.
Train of thought: Vanilla Sky -> Liquid Sky -> Me and My Rhythm Box
For “Vanilla Sky” it does.
No, wait! That was Cameron Crowe. It was boring enough it should have been Lynch.
Any minor hand or body gestures by libruls counts as thunderous screaming to conservatives’ sensitive hearing, whereas the atomic bomb explosions of right wing bellowing must be described as being less audible than a gnat’s fart in a hurricane when they whine about how they’re never ever heard.
Were all of you screaming about Eraserhead and Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks? I thought not, you racists.
No, just Lost Highway. I kept forgetting that it wasn’t a student film with a decent budget.
Does bored thumb-twirling count as screaming?
I have no mouth and I must bored thumb twirl. No… wait, that was Harlan Ellison.
Anti-lynching laws are theft.
Shorter wingnut: I have no asshole and I must evacuate my bowels.
Exactly, and precisely why, if Adam Smith could look forward 250 years, he would have more carefully written “Wealth of Nations” to include a chapter or two on the lesser of two evils, I have no doubt.
He did write in favor of progressive taxation and government regulation, however.
And re the libertarianism thing, it’d be easier to take them seriously if they really were suspicious of the government and not just the welfare state. Seems to me a libertarian should be worried about the size and cost of our military, the powers granted to our intelligence and security agencies, and attempts to regulate our personal behavior as well.
And re the libertarianism thing, it’d be easier to take them seriously…if so many of them did not live in states that depend on federal dollars for water projects or military installations to prop up the local economy.
That, too.
Poor Jonah, got scooped by Jeffrey Lord.
He did write in favor of progressive taxation and government regulation, however.
And in opposition to corporations and any business combination that took personally responsibility out of the marketplace.
In fact, the taxes and regulation you mention were specifically about business combinations.
BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT AYN RAND SAID!!!!!!!!!

I always wondered who the “she” in “That’s what she said” was. Now I know, and I am a better man for it.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Plus, “she” is DKW’s mom. Obviously.
I am a better man for it.
That’s what she¹ said
¹VARR
Does this remind anybody else of things like “Now, c’mon, drugging her and having sex with her can’t REALLY be called rape, since she never said no, amirite?”
Hugo Black was in the Klan so Shirley Sherrod is a racist.
As dumb as the American Spectator thing is, it can’t be more retarded than this clip. Warning: Contains Beck.

Hugo Black was in the Klan
That is unpossible. Only whites in the klan.
Shorter Glenn Beck: He’s heard of someone I haven’t! What a fag!
Only whites in the klan.
Yeah, we thought only humans in it too, but YOU KNOW WHO ELSE WAS IN THE KLAN????
Shorter Jeffrey Lord: I hate n****rs so much I can’t think straight.
Word up, cronies. It’s E$ back like Jordan, wearin’ the foh five. I’ve been chilling out on the boat, all decked out in white linen from head to toe and a pair of hot pink Band of Outsiders topsiders and damn I glisten glisten. Just ignoring frantic texts from Matt Y (that gelatinous motherfucker can’t even do a line on his iPhone without a typo but Eazy E can do lines all night long, ladies) about how we should “hagn [sic] out soon.” Anyway I’ve also been waiting on a phonecall from Rahm to see how he wants the whole Sherrod boo-boo played off so you Progressives out there are just gonna have to wait a minute to be told what to think there. Just wanted to check in so y’all don’t forget me. What I will say for right now is that whatever did or didn’t happen with that black chick who got her ass fired then reinstated, it’s important to remember that O-Dogg is really smart and has great abs and translates Urdu love poetry into French in his spare time and we runnin’ this shit, yo. It’s so totally unlike the bad old days, when Bush was in power, remember that? That dunny couldn’t even talk right, wouldn’t shut down Gitmo, kept escalating our involvement in foreign conflicts, repeatedly arrogated for the government powers that infringed on our civil liberties….those days are over homeys. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a deck full of Vassar chicks and a bottle of Cold Duck I told them is Brignac Brut Gold so if y’all need anything you’ve got my digits.
Just wanted to check in so y’all don’t forget me.
Ezra? Ezra who?
Ezra? Ezra who?
*refrains from making a pun based on the name of a one-hit band from the 90s*
Ezra Klein and Urban Meyer – never photographed together….

You mean, like, “Matt Y is better than Ezra”?
You mean, like, “Matt Y is better than Ezra”?
Yeah, something like that. I think I was going to ask you if you thought you were Better Than Ezra or some sort of reference to that one song they did….
This whole shameful episode really has provided a splendid opportunity for shameless white racist douchebags to show their true colors.
Used to be enough for someone to cry plaintively, “Have you no sense of decency?” on TV. Now, you get mobs of prominent-for-no-reason pundits who just stare back blankly: “Decency? What’s that?”
Matt Y is Four Non Blondes
“Decency? What’s that?”
It sounds like something that would make people accuse us of having a liberal bias, so let’s skip it.
Matt Y is Four Non Blondes
Huh uh. Marcy Playground.
When you’re talking about brutal hate crimes, semantics matter.
Matt Y is Collective Soul.
Matt Y is better than The Spin Doctors
Matt Y is better than Blind Melon
When you’re talking about brutal hate crimes, semantics matter.
You some kind of anti-semantite?
Da Lench Mob – not really about lynching, because of the spelling
What’s the difference between Jeffrey Buttlord and HITLER?
One’s an anti-Semitic ranter, the other’s an anti-semantic writer.
Matt Y is Da Lench Mob
Whoop, N__B beat me to a less contrived version of the same joke.
A most hateful one. I’m also an anti-Dentite!
brutal hate crimes
Now, now, now, I have to take issue with your use of the terms “brutal,” “hate,” “crimes,” “hate crimes,” “brutal hate,” and any other permutation of the three words you used in this context.
You gotta be fast when I’m procrastinating.
Arghh! I’ve hunted and searched fruitlessly and now there’s 93 replies. What I needed was a sound or video clip from BBC’s Coupling of Jeff’s mom saying in a very disappointed tone of voice “Oh Jeffrey!” And it should have been in the first few posts. Well, my whole week is a failure now.
What’s the difference between Jeffrey Buttlord and HITLER?
The difference between white power and white trash, I suppose.
You gotta be fast when I’m procrastinating.
That’s when I do my best non-work, too!
What the fuck is wrong with those people? What the fuck is wrong with those people? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE?!
I think the cleaning lady’s kid at our summer place was listening to a Better Than Ezra song once, so I had my dad let her go because even at a tender age E$ wasn’t going to put up with being punked. E$ never fronted with those Buzz Bin dunnies but I do have a copy of an old Lemonheads album from back when Jesse Peretz was still in the band. Jesse comes over now and then and we shoot the shit, drop some E, scrump a few Proggy Girls (they come over for E$, sometimes the J-Man gets my castoffs) and I ask him how his old man is doing. Like if he needs new columnists or whatever. Seriously, Marty, E$ is pro-national security, pro-Israel, and very motherfucking photogenic. Hit me up.
I keep telling myself I need to write a novel that’s basically the anti Left Behind
Have you ever read Right Behind? It grew out of the comments section on Slacktivist’s exhaustive deconstruction of the odious Left Behind series. It’s a collection of stories wiuth the premise, “How would real human beings act if the Rapture happened?” There are some real good writers contributing to this blog, and it’s open to submissions. LaHaye and Jenkins’ hideous idea of God tends not to come off very well.
I got out of the boat, only to discover that the column itself is not nearly so bad as the comments that follow it. I’m never getting out of the boat again.
and I ask him how his old man is doing.
How the fuck did I not know this?
I got out of the boat, only to discover that the column itself is not nearly so bad as the comments that follow it. I’m never getting out of the boat again.
Jesus. have some gin. You obviously need it more than I do.
Ooooh, that sounds interesting. Bookmarked.
“How would real human beings act if the Rapture happened?”
Grab onto the leg of a floater to hitch a ride to heaven?
I can sure see how this lady has got wingnuts losing their shit: they’ve by & large had to begrudgingly acknowledge her sterling character, but the potential of her following up on her stated desire to “get Breitbart” (who a lot of them
secretly fap tosee as a hero, & who’s left his faux-journalist arse flapping helplessly in the breeze by being so gratuitously dickish) surely makes them frowny & blue.How do you e-mail a Brillo crying-towel?
I found that it’s never the columns that inspire the Shorter that are so bad(though they are uniformly awful), it’s the comments that are truly sick. I always feel as if I need some kind of steel brush/Lysol scrubdown after reading them.
“Fuckabee”
*giggle*
Oooh! Now that’s a way to really piss off a nutter! I imagine most of the appeal of the Rapture is the thought that people like you will be…left behind. They’d totally kick you off, N_B. You’d be screwed.
“Grab onto the leg of a floater to hitch a ride to heaven?”
I doubt that’d work, since everybody knows Raptards sweat butter.
*refrains from making a pun based on the name of a one-hit band from the 90s*
Not in ENGLISH, it’s too precise.
Gleefully.

I agree. The only reason this kind of media exists is to stir up the wingnuts’ nest every day. No planned campaign could rival the dreck that their own minds come up with.
Jesse Peretz. Heh. Sweet reference. Speakin’ of the ‘heads, how bout that Squirrel Bait?
If that person was truly beaten to death — and that’s a big if; a reasonable mind would have to consider the possibility it was suicide — it was done in accordance with God’s will. And who are you to question the will of God?
Speaking of God, the fact that blacks are still upset about the whole slavery kerfuffle (after 150 years! It’s like still being upset about the Beatles breaking up 110 years from now!) shows that they haven’t learned the Christian virtue of forgiveness like conservative white people have. Conservative white people have learned to love their oppressors; the reason why black people can’t do the same is because they’ve been brainwashed by the liberals to hate Jesus.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the “Lou Dobbs Tonight” bug in the corner of your screen capture and thought for a moment that CNN rehired the useless son of a bitch. Stop scaring me like that.
As for Mr. Lynch Parser, I have this vision of him or an ancestor standing at the edge of a lynch mob going, “Don’t use a rope! NO ROPES!”
I doubt that’d work, since everybody knows Raptards sweat butter.
The mental image that conjures is Boss Hogg from the TV show.
I agree. The only reason this kind of media exists is to stir up the wingnuts’ nest every day. No planned campaign could rival the dreck that their own minds come up with.
Do they say the same thing about our threads? “OMG they have no respect for stuffed shirt white guys that spew bullshit all day!” “Its like they want people to not go to war on brown people all the time, are they even American?”
Lynch Parser? I barely KNOW ‘er!
If that person was truly beaten to death — and that’s a big if; a reasonable mind would have to consider the possibility it was suicide
In the graphic novel From Hell, Alan Moore mentions the possibility that Mary Kelly was simply a very determined suicide. Fair warning: the link’s gruesome.
Do they say the same thing about our threads? “OMG they have no respect for stuffed shirt white guys that spew bullshit all day!” “Its like they want people to not go to war on brown people all the time, are they even American?”
Nah. It’s like fucking Ulysess up in this shit for your average wingnut.
Mick LaSalle wrote a story called “The Event” in which liberal Christians were the only ones raptured and the Fundies were all “left behind,” plus there’s a thinly veiled Bush as the Antichrist.
[Monty Python]After all, homocide is only extoverted suicide[/Monty Python]
speaking of mangoes, they’re 2 for a dollar at Safeway right now. You should get out of the boat for excellent bargains!
,,after 150 years! It’s like still being upset about the Beatles breaking up 110 years from now!
The fact is the blacks want special rights but they’ve never even heard of Jesse Peretz. How do you explain that one lieberals?

There was a very active PJM thread a while back speculating on what mental disorders could make liberals so sociopathic that they’d treat conservatives so disrespectfully.
No idea where it is now, but I remember it made it onto Sadly, No!
It’s true. Many of them think we are sociopaths, which I find fascinating because–AS ALWAYS–it’s projection.

They are incapable of self-affirming love
As a group, we discuss masturbation far too often for this to be true.

“As a group, we discuss masturbation far too often for this to be true.”
Yes. “Discuss” masturbation.

If there’s been a group masturbation session, I missed it. Individually we are well in touch with ourselves.

“If there’s been a group masturbation session, I missed it”
That’s a shame. A good time was had by all. We even got t-shirts: S,N Wank-Off 2010.
They are incapable of self-affirming love because they see themselves as evil, and thus must do everything in their powers to destroy what has been made by whom they perceive as similar to themselves-white Americans. Ergo, why they hate anything that white Americans have built, and our traditions and values, why they side with minorities and why they have made a Faustian deal with Islamic jihadists.

Re: the whole Adam Smith and corporations & government: I put up a post about that yesterday that included the link to The Corporation, which if you haven’t seen it is now available on hulu, even if you don’t want to read the boring crap I wrote on the topic of conservative economic lunacy.
I guess the lynching in Jasper, Texas wasn’t really a lynching since the peckerwoods dragged their victim to death behind a truck.
Grab onto the leg of a floater to hitch a ride to heaven?
Really? You’d want to go to any heaven where a Rapturist is invited?
Going by the American Spewtator’s “logic”, the Jews and Gypsies killed by SS death squads don’t count as part of the Holocaust since their bodies weren’t destroyed by fire.
What a racist sewer that magazine is.
Really? You’d want to go to any heaven where a Rapturist is invited?
They’re all too uptight to enjoy themselves, so no lines to wait on for sex and booze. Long lines for harp lessons, but fuck that.
so no lines to wait on for sex
1. I love how you guys say “wait on line” instead of “wait in line”! So cute.
2. You have to wait in line for sex???
They’re all too uptight to enjoy themselves, so no lines to wait on for sex and booze.
Mostly because neither of those exist in their heaven.

There were two little imps who was as black as tar

The car wheel slipped on down the hill
Instead of going to heaven they went to Jacksonville.

In hedonist heaven, one might. In Baptist heaven one does not.

They’re there. If they weren’t, the Baptists would have nothing to feel superior about, and you know that’s an essential part of their heaven.

No. I get on the internets.

No, no. It’s “What’s my line.”
“and values, why they side with minorities and why they have made a Faustian deal with Islamic jihadists.”
That’s bullshit! I made a Jihadian deal with Faust.
the Baptists would have nothing to feel superior about
So you’re saying Baptists drink and have sex now?
Sure about that? They seem awfully uptight and judgemental.
I made a Jihadian deal with Faust.
I made a Dealian Faust with Jihad.
So you’re saying Baptists drink and have sex now?
They don’t drink. Some of them do have sex, though, unless they’re been stealing their kids from the Catholics.
*they’ve* Wev.
So you’re saying Baptists drink and have sex now?
No, those things are available in their heaven but unused. If they were not available, how would the denizens get their fix of superiority?
All those people are standing on line.
On WHAT line?
The line they’re standing on!
If they were not available, how would the denizens get their fix of superiority?
They’re in heaven.
“I made a Dealian Faust with Jihad”
I made a Faustian Delorean with a Jihadi.
The line they’re standing on!
WHERE? Is it some invisible line only New Yorkers can see?
In Soviet Union, line stands on you
Is it some invisible line only New Yorkers can see?
Yes. The one between being upset by 9-11 and milking it for politics.
What’s the difference between a catholic and a baptist?
A catholic will say hi to you at the liquor store.
The line they’re standing on!
WHERE? Is it some invisible line only New Yorkers can see?
OK, look….see all those people standing there?
Bill Kristol continues to court Sarah Palin’s affections. If his nose gets any browner, he’s going to be deported.
“Fuckabee”
No, fuck a half-a-bee. He had an accident.
So you’re saying Baptists drink and have sex now?
Sure about that? They seem awfully uptight and judgemental.
They don’t drink etc., but they need the drinkers et al. to be judgmental about.
Someone up there said
“I *so* wish I believed in hell.”
I’ve been re-watching David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. I believe in Bob.
They don’t drink etc., but they need the drinkers et al. to be judgmental about.
Yes, but they can do that in absentia.
OK, look….see all those people standing there?
For hypothetical purposes, yes, I do. But they’re not on top of or stuck to some sort of line…they’re just standing, together, in a line.
My dear departed grandmother loved nothing more than gossiping and judging other people, and even she was known to say, “Those Babtists just think they’re better than everybody else.”
stuck to some sort of line
A useful talent when one wishes to tightrope walk upside down.
They don’t drink etc
In my experience, yes they do. They don’t judge people for drinking, they judge people doing it openly. (Much like sex).
But they’re not on top of or stuck to some sort of line…they’re just standing, together, in a line.
Right, on line!
Look, I don’t expect you to get this whole “on line”/”in line” thing. After all, English is a langauge with many many words, and they all have different meaning and nuance, with different emotional content.
Here’s an example: “In New York, you stand on line on inline skates.”
See? See what we do there?
*sigh*
Sounds like you’re refudiating stuff, actor. BTW, iPhones auto-correct “refudiate”.
iPhones auto-correct “refudiate”.
Autocorrection should come with editorial comment. “It’s repudiate, asshole, not refudiate.”
Yes, but they can do that in absentia.
Oh no, you can’t get a really good sneer on without the sneeree being in eyeshot. You have to be able to see someone to look down your nose at them.
The fact is, wevs. Totes wevs.
I can’t do the comments on Mr. Lord’s lovely article justice but they are worth reading. I’m sure Jonah is surfing them right now to try to find something to chew on. They are all: Mao! Stalin! Take that you dead black man! And it’s all downhill from there. (Question: If the only history book you’ve ever read is Liberal Fascism, does that make you a creep or do only creeps read Liberal Fascism?) Also, has AS moved the article up to the top since this morning? I guess hits are hits, when they aren’t a lynching.
So you’re saying Baptists drink and have sex now?
Sex is OK as long as you don’t do it standing up — that might lead to dancing.
They are incapable of self-affirming love because they see themselves as evil, and thus must do everything in their powers to destroy what has been made by whom they perceive as similar to themselves-white Americans. Ergo, why they hate anything that white Americans have built, and our traditions and values, why they side with minorities and why they have made a Faustian deal with Islamic jihadists.
Why try to understand what other people are thinking when it’s so much more fun to make shit up?
“Autocorrection should come with editorial comment. “It’s repudiate, asshole, not refudiate.””
Lol. I always thought it would be funny if navigation voices gave you shit. “told you to stay left, fucknut.”
I always thought it would be funny if navigation voices gave you shit. “told you to stay left, fucknut.”
I forgot who, it was some celeb, maybe Dennis Leary, who refused to do celebrity voices for a GPS unit unless he could tell people off.
Mick LaSalle wrote a story called “The Event” in which liberal Christians were the only ones raptured and the Fundies were all “left behind,” plus there’s a thinly veiled Bush as the Antichrist.
Garrison Keillor did a hilarious skit on a PHC show where he called all the local churches to inquire about rumors of the rapture, and they all answered their phones except for the Unitarians, who turned out to be only ones raptured.
So you log IN to the Internet?
No. I get on the internets.
I log athwart the internet, that way I can pee, poo, or teabag it with equal facility.
I really wouldn’t understand the point of using Dennis Leary unless he could do his schtick. I mean would you want Polite Don Rickles GPS?
Whoa. Remind me to wash my hands after using the Internet, especially if Willy’s been on it.
Refudiate-It means to overthrow by just making shit up, pulling stuf out of your ass or just closing your eyes and pretending it never happened.
Effing Unitarians, that’s just like them. Gone to have coffee with _____ (fill in blank here).
Everybody would get lost with an Ozzy Osborne-narrated GPS. Unintelligible in both diction and content.

If it’s Willy, I’m not so sure it’s coffee.
Okay, so I’m totally objectively pro-tattoo. Or at least, not anti-tattoo. The majority of my friends have at least one, and one of my friends makes his living as a tattoo artist. However, that did not keep me from almost telling this 20-year-old chick that she was such a pretty girl, and why would you get a tattoo of a skull and roses and “Daddy’s Girl” in comic sans on your NECK???
At least it’s not a tramp stamp. I guess.
If it’s Willy, I’m not so sure it’s coffee.
Poor Willy.
Make a hundred pithy and scatching comments here, and does anyone remember his snark? No.
Appear in nearly every thread, and does anyone remember his fealty? No.
But take one dump athwart the internet…..
Okay, so, it wasn’t comic sans, but it was close enough.
My the lord repuke you.
“Daddy’s Girl” in comic sans on your NECK???
Hey, I’d want my chick thinking about me even if I’m behind her!
Show a few thousand people your etchings…
But take one dump athwart the internet…..
The classics never get old.
Classic jokes, how do they fucking work?
My the lord repuke you.
I was repuked once, but I changed my voter registration back to Democrat and got better.
I repuked then puked again.
Effing Unitarians, that’s just like them. Gone to have coffee with _____ (fill in blank here).
Which reminds me, if you’re ever in Kansas City, there is a quite lovely little vegetarian restaurant in the basement of the Unity temple. Their menu contains great detail as to whether or not your dish is vegan/gluten-free/soy free and will gladly customize it to your needs. Yes, it’s a fucking stereotype of itself.
It’s the Comic Sans that bothers me most of all.
why would you get a tattoo of a skull and roses and “Daddy’s Girl” in comic sans on your NECK???
Because your father is Axel Rose and the use of Comic Sans is the closest you dare go towards disrespect for fear of drowning in his rage-induced spittle?
I repuked then puked again.
I was repuked when I gave her too many roofies.
Fixt!
Okay, yeah, to be fair, the font was more like a comic sans version of the traditional Sailor Jerry font, if that means anything to anyone.
She also had the Aries symbol on the other side of her neck and some crap on the back, along with a bunch of shit on her forearms. But NOTHING on the upper arms. Now, I’m not one of those people who’s prone to thinking that people get tattoos in order to rebel, but really, wtf?
I keep telling myself I need to write a novel that’s basically the anti Left Behind — the Rapture happens, the fundies don’t go anywhere, and then spend the rest of the novel willingly serving the Antichrist, just to get revenge on God for rejecting them.
I have a title in mind – “Right Behind You”.
As for tattoos – Things are going to be very colorful in the old folks’ home in 2060.
I thought it was de rigueur for tattoos to be done in these kinda fonts.
But I’m hardly an expert. Wouldn’t get one if you paid me.
If I had a better grasp of sci-fi/fantasy or some actual time I could spend putting a few thousand words on paper every night, maybe I’d finally put the durn thing together…
I can’t recommend National Novel Writing Month enough. Comes around every November. Every human being on Earth should do it at least once.

But I’m hardly an expert. Wouldn’t get one if you paid me.
I don’t have any tatts, but on some people, they look pretty teh hawt.
Have you ever read Right Behind?
…and so much for the creative uniqueness of my title. I still like mine better tho…
Sailor Jerry font? Is this it?
http://www.cubanica.com/fonts/sailor_gothic
Not bad, certainly not comic sans, which should be banned.
I thought it was de rigueur for tattoos to be done in these kinda fonts.
No, not unless you’re a Mexican gang member.
They can be in any kind of readable font. Or unreadable if your artist sucks.
Fraktur is the Jew of…. no wait. Fraktur actually IS fascist.
Sailor Jerry font? Is this it?
Yeah. Actually, all of those are pretty traditional.
Not bad, certainly not comic sans, which should be banned.
You ain’t got the cojones. Bring It On.
I don’t have any tatts, but on some people, they look pretty teh hawt.
Personnaly, I think that if you’re not hawt a tatto really isn’t going to help and if you are hawt then a tatto only distracts. Call me a body art conservative if you must, but I prefer to think of myself as an all natural DFH.
They’re just not my style. Sometimes–not always! so don’t everybody jump down my throat–they come across as an affectation to me.
Ditto to what Sirius says.
Comic Sans, well-played, Madame. Well-played.

BODY ART CONSERVATIVE!!!
Actually, I don’t care. When people say, “I personally don’t find them attractive,” that’s perfectly fine with me. It’s just when they’re judgmental assholes and make assumptions about other people’s characters based on them. Or when the bus driver asks me if my dad knows about mine.
I mean, I’m judgmental about people’s tattoos, but that’s only if they’re shitty. I’m just a snob like that.
…vegetarian restaurant in the basement…
Will we ever see the day when carnivores eat in the basement and the vegetarian restaurant is in the revolving room at the top of the tower?
2. You have to wait in line for sex???
At DKW’s mom’s place you do.
They’re all too uptight to enjoy themselves, so no lines to wait on for sex and booze.
I grew up on an island full of Dutch Lutherans, connected to the mainland by a bridge. When I was growing up, we’d occasionally hear of one of the town elders getting into one sort of seamy trouble or another on the mainland. My very proper (and very Catholic) mother would just roll her eyes and say “Bridge Dutch. Insufferable on this side of the bridge and drunken philanderers on the other.”
AFAICT, Baptists are no different.
I AM SO THERE
It was fucking good, dude.
Oh, and there were a fuckload of tattoos there. Probably more tattoos than people.
It was fucking good, dude.
That basement is a lot nicer than most, I admit. And the chocolate cake looks damn toothsome. But would it KILL them to put a NY Strip on it?
At least Wille and Snoop are’t all starting up a bunch of race card sh8.
But would it KILL them to put a NY Strip on it?
Yes. Besides the whole meat thing, it’s KANSAS CITY. They’re called KC strips there.
But would it KILL them to put a NY Strip on it?
Little know fact: all the chefs there are cows, so YES.
I reckon I could order a block of cheese, some lobster bisque (what? Come on!), and an entire chocolate cake.
“Sorry I’m standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest.”
Bauhaus is fascist now? Wkiki sayeth: “Defeat in World War I, the fall of the German monarchy and the abolition of censorship under the new, liberal Weimar Republic allowed an upsurge of radical experimentation in all the arts, previously suppressed by the old regime. Many Germans of left-wing views were influenced by the cultural experimentation that followed the Russian Revolution, such as constructivism.” And “Gropius himself did not share these radical views … it [Bauhaus] was founded with the idea of creating a ‘total’ work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually be brought together.
So if I have this right Bauhaus was an aesthetically conservative reactionary response to the liberal creative experimentation of the Weimar Republic. Which was then itself fetishized by effete metrosexual liberals with their fascist Macs and fascist Adobe photoshop while sipping their fascist Italian expresso and wearing fascist Che Guevara T-shirts listening to their fascist punk bands.
Got it.
Little know fact: all the chefs there are cows, so YES.
I snorted embarrassingly.
The main ingredient in most dishes is cud, by the way.
It’s just when they’re judgmental assholes and make assumptions about other people’s characters based on them.
Whenever I see a young lady with a tattoo I just can’t help but think to myself “I bet she’s just truculent and unreliable”.
“Sorry I’m standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest.”
Oh, wait. Who? What? Where? WTF?
Whenever I see a young lady with a tattoo I just can’t help but think to myself “I bet she’s just truculent and unreliable”.
Not a bad assumption to make, at least in my case.

Gotcha. I read that a while ago, so I didn’t re-read, and totally forgot about that part.
The university chancellor actually sends out mass e-mails to the whole campus in Comic Sans.
And what do ya bet Herman Munster up there goes to church two or three times a week and thinks he’s got the moral high ground because of it.
I’ve noticed in life that the bigger the thief or the liar, the more Jesus this and Jesus that and big infusions of cash for the Building Fund (send pastor to Aruba fund) or Xtian-affiliated hate groups.
I worked with one of those. There was also a VP at the same place who refused to capitalize – not out of principle but because he wasn’t good at it. The institution is now gone.
Besides, it’s been so many years, why won’t you racist libruls stop tarring the word “lynching” with such negative connotations?
Yer turnin’ the whitewash all funny colored!
So, who drew the short straw for cleaning up the mess afterwards?
Got it.
The article was right, however, in suggesting to folks who rag about Comic Sans to lighten up. Did you get that part?
IMO, Comic Sans more readable than Arial or TNR, the usual fonts in biz. I use it for emails at work to distinguish from the droppings of the rest of the flock.
btw, I posted as Comic Sans.

I think everbody was drawing short straws if you know what I mean.

Close enough.

“The article was right, however, in suggesting to folks who rag about Comic Sans to lighten up. Did you get that part?”
I didn’t “rag about” comic sans. I merely suggested, in the interest in light hearted fun, that it’s use be banned and it’s proponents hung, drawn and quatered. It’s an ugly font.

“Look, I know I have delusions of grandeur but I was not hitting on everything in sight…”
English is a living language with more words than any other language and therefore words have precise meanings and nuance and I don’t need a dictionary to know the generally accepted meaning of paranoia, so shut up that’s why!

Re: tattoos: I’ve never been able to overcome the attitude the old southern small-town gentility ascribed to them – it’s something that’s just not done. I have gotten over tagging everyone who has one as being trash. Like vs, I’ll be leaving this world in a natural condition, with no silicone or ink enhancements (and hopefully no metal pins, plates, or other devices either). If I had every decided to cross that line, I would have gotten one in a hidden location where only the most intimate friends could see it. Like this one, the only tattoo I’ve ever seen that I would consider getting myself.

Thought I’d look like Scarlett O’Hara. Well, I more closely-resembled Tommy Wiseau than I did the stunning Vivien Leigh. But I had the color stripped by a professional. It could be undone. I’ve had my hair cropped to almost bald. Right now it is well past my shoulders and chemically-straightened. This can all be undone.

Re: tattoos:
Have none, because they make Wife Sublime barf.
However, as a young punk, and happily piercing various ears (before noses became commonplace) I have no problem with the BodMod crowd. As one of the first few Urban Professionals in my profession who wore an earring on a daily basis, Am kind of looking forward to facial hardware showing up on lawyers and bankers.
Holy crap, N_B. I guess it must be kind of nice to have no conscience; you get to take the big hand-outs and still claim the moral high ground in denying them to others. Conservatism in a nutshell.
Obviously by “lynch”, Jeffrey meant “there’s a nice knock-down argument for you”, not the pedestrian meaning of “for a group claiming to serve justice/race/tradition to extralegally kill someone”. Mr. Lord is obviously a very gifted journalist to make words — particularly verbs, which are the proudest words, and hard to manage — mean what he chooses them to mean. Impenetrability!
I mean, it’s unfortunate that Ms. Sherrod was unaware of Jeffrey Lord’s criteria for what is and isn’t a lynching, and that she probably chose to use Tuskeegee’s criteria, or just figured “hey, some white guys murdering a black guy out in the open, figuring they’ll get away with it because of where they live — sounds better if I call it a lynching”, but that hardly excuses her lapse in judgement there.
In conclusion, Jeffrey Lord is a syphilitic pedophile, a term of my own coinage that I use to mean “someone who enriches the English language by contributing new definitions for old words”. Jeffrey Lord: Well done! (by which I mean “fuck off”).
And, FTR, I think yours happen to look awesome.
Thanks!

I would have gotten [a tattoo] in a hidden location where only the most intimate friends could see it.
Invisible ink. Only shows up in the crematorium, and only briefly.
Seriously, I could not believe that the shorter was accurate, so I looked and there it was, just that. Every. Damn. Time. This. Happens.
And the comments, ay dios mio, they make YouTube look like the Algonquin Fucking Round Table.

VJ asks the great theological questions.
Mr. Lord is obviously a very gifted journalist to make words — particularly verbs, which are the proudest words, and hard to manage — mean what he chooses them to mean.
No-one begrudges the right of Mr Lord and his colleagues to speak their own dialect of English among themselves, complete with its own grammar and its own word definitions. He can even call it Cobonics if he wants to, and if he doesn’t, I will. Where we take issue is when he starts criticising normal English speakers for not using Cobonics.
Oh! My picture with the tattoo is on Twitter. Phew.

Are you one of the other 12 humans who made it through your 20’s without getting a tattoo like everyone else? I still don’t have one at 40. I never could find anything I would want to be on me forever.
*high five* I flirted with the idea of getting my nose pierced in my 20’s and never got around to it…

No tattoos for me. I’ve never even considered it. It’s not a “trash” thing – I think it’s fun to look at other people’s tatts. But I think of me plus tattoo, and all I can picture is gravity. I mean, eventually that cute little rose or heart is gonna migrate south.
Okay, so tell me: what’s the second ickiest font? CS is the worst, apparently. Which fonts will also garner mocking sneers and derision? Is there a “liberal” font? Or a “wingnut” font? (I think wingdings don’t count.) Can you ID a libertarian by his or her font? What do we think of the serif these days? I just want to keep up.
I don’t care for that spelling of “Anne-Marie” [sic] but I do dig the green text on black background. Reminds me of ancient Tandy computers, Jolt Cola, and the war3z era.
I never could find anything I would want to be on me forever.
Diane Lane comes pretty close, personally.
Regarding, tattoos, I met Lizardman at Summerfest one year.
Look you don’t have to be comfortable with Body Modification, but you have to admire his ability to COMMIT to the concept.
Diane Lane? Very nice. I’d like Morena Baccarin to be on me forever.
An L and an R could be helpful.
Are you one of the other 12 humans who made it through your 20?s without getting a tattoo like everyone else? I still don’t have one at 40.
If there are really only 12, it’s quite the coincidence we all comment here.
Okay, so tell me: what’s the second ickiest font?
Logger.

personally, the Windows system font goes straight to Number One for me. Shit, even now they still can barely make it look better, and I suspect it’s just because the cranked up the resolution.

also a good choice.
Oh yeah, tigris. Only a few very select resumes would be improved by Logger font.
Oh, we’re judging fonts by what some low-functioning corporate drone finds acceptable on a resume now?
My next resume will be delivered by singing telegram.

I bet I could land a job with N__B using that ploy.
Oh, we’re judging fonts by what some low-functioning corporate drone finds acceptable on a resume now?
I’m not. It’s about pure ickiness for me. I just flashed on a Logger resume and chuckled. It is probably used to announce summer camp activities, or Boy Scout Jamborees. It is still icky. I guess – with English being so nuanced and everything – I should be specific about the kind of ickiness I have in mind, and that is the ickiness of the unnecessary and inelegant. The other reason for my inquiry is that I do not know what is chic or cool or acceptable, so I need to know which fonts to avoid.
the one after that by trained hedgehogs.
…and after that: strip-o-gram.
All to the same prospective employer, on successive days.
Control Panel>Display Properties>Appearance>Effects then click to select the “Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts check box” and (usually) choose Clear Type. I dunno if it’s a system default to have the fucking thing off – it’s been off for every machine I’ve played with and worked on – but I nearly quit a job over the blocky text in Windows.
The thing with submitting resumes these days is that even if you do a strip-o-gram, they’re not even gonna look up, much less respond.

Boy Scout Jamborees need fonts too!
On me forever? This guy, please.
holy crap, how did they ever shave enough of his eyebrows to do the Vulcan thing?
Larkspur, I can’t think of another “standard” font or typeface that stands out like Comic Sans. It’s hard to think of another one that would be as controversial. There are lots of funky fonts I find beautiful and/or horrid.
“Logger” sounds like it would be kind of awful. Please tell me there’s no woodgrain involved.
Seriously, it’s like he’s got a unibrow around the BACK of his head.

Who brought up the Lizard guy? That kind of shit FREAKS. ME. OUT. I once watched a show about people doing some pretty extreme body mod stuff (mostly trying to turn into animals) and I’ve been fucked up ever since. I now am very careful not to expose myself to that kind of thing. I like to think of myself as a pretty tough chick, but apparently when it comes to some things I’m a delicate widdle flower.
I hope you’re not looking here.
I figure that when I’m old and my skin elasticity is such that tattoos would look weird, I’m going to look like a prune anyway. It’s like “oh no, my house burned down and there’s some graffiti on it!” Not really a good reason not to get one.
Also, today I met a woman who had the text of the Mezuzah tattooed on the back of her neck, which just seemed strange, because really you should have it tattooed on your arm and/or the middle of your forehead, no?
This website may be called America’s Second-Shittiest Website, but it’s name is the most ironic.

I once read a Harry Turtledove short in which the events of Revelation took place in the fields around Verdun in 1916. The horsemen of the Apocalypse were mowed down by a foulmouthed and trigger-happy French machine gun crew who were unable to believe their luck that the Germans had sent them such a glorious target. We’ve been living in the Time of Tribulation ever since.

*The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which served as a model for state anti-lynching laws, defines lynching as “depriving any person of his life without authority of law.” No ropes mentioned anywhere at all.

I accept that when a US senator condemns another government for acting beholden to big corporations, the condemnation is purely for internal consumption and should not be read anywhere else in the world except for comic effect.

For the record (heh), I own the Dio album “Holy Diver.” On vinyl. And a couple Sabbath albums when he was the frontman too. I will even admit to liking “Mob Rules.”
God I’m old, and had (have? Yes have.) terrible taste.
I don’t know what Dio is. It’s not that I have terrible taste; I am tasteless. I think I have a box of vinyl discoid shaped platter things in my apartment storeroom, where my phonograph machine lives. I am quite sure that one of the vinyls is a Buffy St. Marie. Yes, yes. I am dating myself. Someone has to do it.
Kennerly Old Style is pretty.
I don’t currently have cable TV access. Did anyone (like Rachel?) kick Jeffrey Lord’s puny flabby racist ass on the TV machine tonight? Maybe he got smote down by God with a lightning bolt for failing to change his last name from Lord to something more appropriate, like Buttugly?
You take that back and you take it back RIGHT TOTES NOW!!
Saying “bad taste” and RJD in the same breath. Shame on you. I got Holy Diver from one of those 11 for a penny dealies on cassette. And I liked it. I also have a fondness for Last in Line.

All I know is that right here, right now, Miss Moon is about to kick Mr. Sun’s ass. He sets, she rises. Yes, maybe not in St. Petersburg (the Russian one), but out of my window, off of my deck, this is what’s happening.
God. I remember, as a kid, when I first tried to understand the concept that even though I was in Detroit, there was still a New York and a Chicago, and things were happening there, at the very same time. Reality didn’t depend on me seeing it. Tree, forest, crash.
It is totally crepuscular out.
Those little crepuscules creep me out when they emerge from their burrows and start scurrying around and I worry what they would look like if they grew any larger.
singing hedgehog STRIP-O-GRAM.
What do you think led to my marriage?
I had assumed that a week-long bender on tequila and muscarine was involved.
I’ve turned off all the lights in the basement and am sitting in the warm glow of the LCD monitor.
Embarrassing fact #1220304: I know who Tenacious D is but have never heard them sing nor watched the movie.
Don’t have any tats either. Don’t say you aren’t fascinated.
Where do they get these people? If I were a victim of a race based killing I am sure that would prefer to be beaten to death to a lynching. It’s just not as nasty.
My mistake. I thought this was a serious discussion. I didn’t rear the other posts.
Can’t spell.

It’s a crime that you paid for it.
I got out of the boat for this one.
Man, this Jeffrey Lord guy just does not care if the only people who read him or like or think he’s cool are the worstestest, most stupidestest pieces of dogshit in human form that this country – or the human race – has to offer.
He should have a show on FOX and a Tea Party candidacy and a column in the New Newsweek.
Ronnie James Dio?
The warm-up act for Creed?
*ducking*
Hey, Seth. Totally serious post. So serious, so hideous, it made us go crazy, hence the devolution to wackiness.
I mean, first, there’s the fact that Jeffrey Lord thought this up in his own mind. Then he wrote it down using actual words. Then some other people read it. Then they decided the world needed to hear it, so they published it. This piece of vile, irredeemable piece of crap writing that isn’t even based on some teeny bit of fact – they were proud of it, and happy to see the commenters flock around to enjoy it.
Hence strip-o-grams, hedgehogs, music reviews, reviews of material alleged to be music, and various other nonsense.
So anyway, this has been my dead thread “Good morning!” to y’all.
My mistake. I thought this was a serious discussion. I didn’t rear the other posts.
Hee hee, you said “rear.”
It was serious for a while, but there’s not much to say after everyone has observed he’s a soulless, worthless skin-bag who will quibble, incorrectly one might add, about the “true” definition of “lynch” in discussing a brutal race-based murder, and use his wrong, overly narrow definition to call a relative of the murdered man a liar.
Also, hi, “Sadly, No!” — have you read any of the previous posts and / or comments?
Got out of the boat, the mangoes were putrid, clicked on “Last” page to see his concluding sentence, and they seem to have scrubbed the article.
Fucking chickenshit cowards.
Ugh, it’s back up, and the fucker’s actually defending it by playing even more semantic games.
…He should have a show on FOX and a Tea Party candidacy and a column in the New Newsweek…
Instead of, oh, a White House political director, biographer of D. Brooks Smith, or successful presidential campaign worker.
I know it’s old news but I still can’t look at Reagan and not think “Didn’t mention AIDS until 1987. That’s one mean MF.” Little did I know that Reagan’s silence was evidence of his compassion. With Jeffrey Lord in the WH, it’s a wonder that Reagan didn’t carry a spiked club with and beat to death protesters with facial lesions.
Neat blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out.
