BTW thank you to everyone who so nicely welcomed me back. Dunno how long I’ll be here. You know how it goes. Cheers.

I’m not sure I can handle this continuous onslaught of “posts,” like this is some kind of “blog” or something.

Good to see you back!

Dunno how long I’ll be here.

You’re making up for it with a prodigious output!

HTML Mencken sucks donkeys, like a some other well-known progressive asshats.

And here’s Donalde, looking for some attention. Again.

Now I want a lollipop. As long as I don’t have to wear a beanie.

“The result of such a grand bargain would be debt reduction on a scale never before seen. World confidence in the American economy would rise dramatically.”

So what? There’s no direct correlation between debt risk, debt burden, and national prosperity. Look up the table of Debt-to-GDP ratios on wikipedia. Number 1 is Japan. Number 2 is Zimbabwe. Number 3 is Lebanon (which is firmly middle-income and has a big middle class.) Those three countries also have completely different ratings.

I don’t think that’s a lollipop… might be some sort of tessen.

So what?

Put simply, Kraphammer knows as much about economics as he does about diplomacy.

FTFY

HTML, dude, pace yourself.

I went kind of nuts when I moved the Empire to FYWP, and I still only topped out at like three posts in one day.

I am EPICALLY lazy though.

Donalde, your bestiality-fetish is showing.
AGAIN.

would be debt reduction on a scale never before seen.

Except for that time under Clinton, when the debt was eliminated and a surplus was created. Cuz that, you know, rocked, until GWB lost it all in Vegas.

Donaldee is link-trolling?

At The Sands BWAAAAHAHAHAHA

Thank you, thank you, don’t forget to tip the barstaff…oh shut the fuck up, tsam.

Now I want a lollipop. As long as I don’t have to wear a beanie.

Maybe it’s me, but I’ve never really cared for that style of lollipop. I don’t think I’ve ever actually gotten far enough to finish one of that type before it’s either melting, or my stomach says, “yeah, that’s enough, pack it in.”

To quote a GREAT movie:

“Shut the fuck up, Donaldee!”

I went kind of nuts when I moved the Empire to FYWP, and I still only topped out at like three posts in one day.

Piker, you should try 24 in a day.

Donaldee is link-trolling?

It’s worse than a rickroll- it’s funny, though, he identifies himself even as he’s trolling, so who the hell would click his links?

“Shut the fuck up, Donaldee!”

He’s always out of his element.

I’d suggest abolishing the health-care exclusion, which encourages wasteful medical spending.

You know what other policy might discourage ‘wasteful’ medical spending?

DEATH PANELZ ISREAL!

Krauthammer puts me on his Freedom Fries, & so can you!

You know who else isreal?

He’s not just run of the mill dumb, he’s Brian Kilmeade dumb.

Remember: Tax reform will already have slashed rates radically. In one Simpson-Bowles scenario, the top rate plunges to 23 percent. Conservatives could at that point contemplate increasing net revenue by slightly tweaking these new low rates, say, back to Reagan’s 28 percent

Which conservatives are these again? I thought cutting taxes raised revenues.

If we’re already three levels deep in supposition, why not just skip to the return of Galt? That perpetual motion engine would do wonders for to our energy sector…

“The result of such a grand bargain would be debt reduction on a scale never before seen.”

Well, step one results are coming in as we speak. S&P lowered Treasury ratings from AAA to AA+. The only thing that kept us from going straight to junk-bond status is that Europe is in the crapper, Japan glows in the dark and there’s nobody left with money to buy teflon-coated Rice Krispies and lead baby toys from China.

“World confidence in the American economy would rise dramatically.”

I like to think of it as, “A falling tide strands all boats, but that beats being a dead fish.”

Kilmeade was the result of a nationwide search to find someone dumber than Steve Doocy.

I just recently got into “Sherlock” on Teh Socialest Yurp BBC, and the guy who plays Mycroft Holmes looks uncannily like a brunette Steve Doocy. Needless to say, it’s really hard to think of anyone with this association as smart.

I hate typing on a Goddamn Blackberry Tablet!

There are too many threads!

I have nothing of value to add to the conversation!

I didn’t pack any suits for my trip! I feel naked.

The guy who plays Mycroft is Mark Gatiss, one of the head writers for the show (and has written a number of Doctor Who episodes). Just saying.

I feel like there’s a joke in there about Steve Doocy being a ReTardis.

Jeez, Retardo, have you been plugged up this whole time and just found a fistful of Thread-Lax?

Nice to see you back.

Wait till you see what they did with Moriarty. Unexpected to say the least.

You want straight-up stupid from FOX & Fucks, bottle-blond panty-exhibiter Gretchen Carlson (I s’pose her awareness that she can’t follow it puts her one up on the other two cretins.):

To be fair to the “Fox & Friends” hosts’ concern over “SpongeBob SquarePants,” Carlson admits that for her, the children’s cartoon is “hard to follow sometimes.”

Some twunt on npr earlier vomited that the rating drop clearly signaled that the Teaturds were right and it’s about the debt, not about debt reduction. I about lost it, screaming “No you stupid fuck. It’s about a bunch of assholes willing to use the full faith and credit of the United States of America as a political football to further their petty and punitive agenda and that makes anyone lending us money rather nervous.”

Fuck, these assclowns can’t think their way through wet toilet paper.

In case you doubt the panty-exhibiter bit.

Really, which is worse for the children, SpongeBob, or GC’s underoos?

I just recently got into “Sherlock” on Teh Socialest Yurp BBC

Are there new episodes? I heard they were going to do more.

Why is it more socially acceptable to watch slasher type horror flicks than porn?

Chris: No shit; I am dying to find out how Sherlock gets out of this predicament.

Hogeye: New epsodes of Sherlock scheduled for Sept.

“70 is the new 65” when we’re talking about entitlement reform.

What is that, exactly? Pay into Social Security and Medicare for 50+ years and then reap the Elyssian rewards?

NEW DEAL from Krauthammer: Open elevator shaft.

…and the saddest part is, Donalde’s link-baiting troll post doesn’t actually SAY anything worth reading… Just bullshit specious accusations that he is unable to back with anything but his own verbiage…

Seeing a paunchy, greying, grown man running around teh internets in his feetsie pjs with a pillowcase around his neck pretending to be a superhero makes one realize how really very, very pathetic Dr. Douglas has become, these days…

Ah, thank you! I was wondering when the next season was coming out. And yes, I’m eager to see how he gets out of that one too.

Also the new RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie coming out at Christmas time. Official synopsis for those interested.

As long as I don’t have to wear a beanie

Does Spearhafoc (owner of 5 million hats) have a beanie? The world wonders…

Totally missed the last thread. (I’m turning in my badge and gun to the Chief of Defectives again.)

But I finally finished the thread previous to that: Some of the best commentary I’ve seen at S,N. Thanx to all (especially Cerebrus, bbfk, Chris, tigris?.

Now I’ll take by usual easy chair on the deck and look at the mangoes in THIS thread….

HTML’s shorters: Bestest? Or Bestest Evah?

Before I fergets: Congrats, ibn Thunder.

NEW DEAL from Krauthammer: Open elevator shaftempty swimming pool.

For historical accuracy.

Thank you, thank you, don’t forget to tip the barstaff

Laughed at the wicked Sands joke.

Sherlock packs a luger?

empty swimming pool.

Oh, cold!

You owe me an organ. Of my choice. I haven’t identified what I just coughed up, yet.

The truth hurts. Did not, however, mean to hurt your organs.

(Partial to a B-3 w/ a Leslie cabinet, myself.)

Does anyone know how to shut up a rooster without killing it? Any home remedies? I have a serious problem, can’t sleep. The animal starts at 10:30pm and crows every thirty or so minutes until a little after daybreak, now. It’s just horrible. I can’t think straight. I’m nervous all day from lack of sleep. Even my digestion is messed up. Iris says if we don’t do something she’s leaving. I’ve looked all over the internet and everyone suggests talking to the neighbor. Well, that won’t work here. If I were to try to speak to the neighbor, that would be the same as calling him a stupid campesino, a killing offense. So that’s out of the question. Also, I can’t poison the rooster. Even if I could get away with it I wouldn’t do it because it isn’t his fault he crows. Help.

To be fair to the “Fox & Friends” hosts’ concern over “SpongeBob SquarePants,” Carlson admits that for her, the children’s cartoon is “hard to follow sometimes.”

That. Is. Awesome. Oh, Gretchen, just smart enough to get out the front door in the morning, but not smart enough to open it first.

Robert…

You know, I don’t think this will work for your neighbor’s rooster. shit dude, I don’t know.

You know, hawks, owls and coyotes routinely nab roosters to eat. I realize it’s not the rooter’s fault he is genetically obligated to protect his coop, but this rooster shouldn’t be living so close, either. No different from a constantly barking dog, except that I don’t believe dogs taste excellent from the grill.

BTW thank you to everyone who so nicely welcomed me back. Dunno how long I’ll be here. You know how it goes. Cheers.

Whatever they’re paying you, we’ll double it.

No, really, How hard can it be to double a pocketful of lint and three year old copies of FHM magazine?

Donaldee is link-trolling?

From two weeks ago, no less.

Seeing a paunchy, greying, grown man running around teh internets in his feetsie pjs with a pillowcase around his neck pretending to be a superhero makes one realize how really very, very pathetic Dr. Douglas has become, these days…

*sipping herbal tea quietly*

Can’t imagine what pushed him over the edge…

rodert: I don’t know where you live but in some city areas that allow chickens, roosters can still be banned under noise ordinances.

Failing that– coq au vin?

“Grand Bargain”, huh?

“Grand fucking Bargain” huh?

How strange, it’s almost like your alluding to some important taught in High School Civics and History classes that is really important to our understanding of Democracy and our political system, but are avoiding spouting it out directly. Why ever could that be?

Might it be because the Great fucking Compromise that you are obliquely referring to to grant your words more emotional weight and “gravitas” is by modern standard a horrifying betrayal of an entire community so that two sides of rich white assholes could feel better about their “great democratic experiment”. Might it now appear by modern analysis to be the first of a never-ending series of demands by the South for the betrayal of basic values and the worsening of America in the name of “compromise” and “keeping this country together” and the never-ending attempt to hold this country hostage for their rotten and rancid ideologies.

Say, the same thing happening now today with this made up Debt Crisis and the bad faith of the Republicans wanting to “bring low” the Black Man in Chief (no not the gay porno, you bastard).

And also, since many have begun to notice that the “Great Compromise” only delayed and buried the problems growing until they could erupt larger and more damaging in the form of the Civil War and especially since many have also begun to notice that the South seems to have been continuously fighting that battle since the Civil War.

So yes, we can “strike a Grand Bargain”, once again on the backs and the ensured suffering of a group without political power (the poor). Again we can “compromise” by giving the conservative hostage-takers more than their fair share in the promise that they will not split the country (giving their property population count for votes they cannot cast and now enacting Hooverist policies to make the 2012 election easier for a group worried they wouldn’t be able to beat Obama).

You know, eventually, they keep this up and some new Sherman is going to burn down everyone of these fuckers and let them keep their land sown with salt and the rest of us are going to shrug our shoulders and go, yeah, that was inevitable.

That “Grand Fucking Bargain” just don’t have the gravitas it used to when now it stands for American democracy’s greatest failure.

Roosters are noisy and unnecessary. Sorry, guys.

“We had roosters to protect the hens but usually they just protected them from us.”

Suggestion: Earplugs followed up with a sudden overnight “coyote” raid.

Thanks everybody for rooster suggestions. Thank you Tsam for the interesting article. I wrote out something but just now reread it and it doesn’t make any sense. I’ll figure this out or we’re going to have to move. Iris wants to stay in a hotel until we find a solution. Goddamn rooster. If we break up over this, I bet it will be the first time in history a loving couple split because of a chicken. A frikkin chicken. A frikkin chicken that wasn’t even theirs. Hey, that sounds like a pretty good story, huh?

Why is it more socially acceptable to watch slasher type horror flicks than porn?

I quote the great Roger Ebert:

Man kisses breast: R-rating. Man hacks off breast with chainsaw: PG-13.

The MPAA, ladies and gentlemen. Protecting our children’s eyeballs one bonehead decision at a time.

My God, but that Donald Douglas guy is a seething bundle of resentments. He’s like the old bum you see at the bus station, rocking back and forth and talking angrily to himself.
