Headlines Are Hard
ABOVE: Ken Shepherd, Managing Editor, Newsbusters (left)
You would think that if your entire raison d’être is to criticize newspapers and other news media, even if (or especially if) that criticism was to demonstrate that every newspaper other than Rupert Murdoch’s White Street Journal was a nest of gay-loving, terrorist supporting, baby killing, gun-banning liberal feminazis, then you would want to have some grasp of elemental journalistic techniques such as how to write a headline. A working knowledge of grammar and syntax might also be helpful to stave off sarcastic and caustic retorts from elitist liberal nitpickers. Sadly, no!
Ken Shepherd, the Managing Editor no less, of Newsblusterers, came up with this headline, which doesn’t quite mean what he thinks it means:
Now while we might all agree that many conservatives, particular those of the persuasion that rapists have the right to father babies by the women of their choice, are woman-hating, we are not so sure Tina Brown is a conservative or hates women.
Managing Editor Shepherd fell asleep during Hyphenation 101 and meant to say “conservative-woman hating” Tina Brown, a large difference which is as unsupported as the idea that she is conservative or hates women. Apparently she hates conservative women because she has launched a foundation call Women in the World which apparently seeks to force conservative women to bear unwanted children — oh wait, it’s the conservative women who want to force that on other women. Shepherd also says Brown “hates” conservative women because she tied a conservative woman to that back of her car and dragged her for three miles said that the election of certain conservative women was a blow to feminism. Over at Newsbusters, disagreeing with a conservative is hate; suggesting that gays shouldn’t even appear on TV unless they are portrayed as dismal, dispirited, suicidal homos who can only save themselves by finding religion and the opposite sex is, of course, an act of love.
heh, poop

My Headline Is Rock-Hard
ABORTION, neither here nor there!
You’re both wrong.
CMS would say either “Conservative Woman–Hating” (note the en dash in place of the hyphen) or “Conservative-Woman-Hating” with two hyphens, depending on whether you think “conservative woman” is a permanent or temporary open compound. I would argue it is temporary, and therefore “Conservative-Woman-Hating Tina Brown” is best.
However, since even that is a bit confusing, as an editor I would have recommended he rewrite the headline to make it clear that he means Tina Brown, hater of conservative women.
Y U MAD BRO?

Hmmm … a pink flamingo.

Free enterprise, baby!
By the way, even if Kenny Wayne Shepard doesn’t like Tina Brown, Tina can still eat shit, based on “Condoleezza Rice” & “worked so ably at Goldman Sachs.”
Whoa nu thred! I guess that makes my last comment an OOPS.
Even if I stipulate the grammar, is it really woman-hating to say “this particular woman, right here, is a bad choice”? Presumably, this dickhead doesn’t approve of President Obama. Has he just given us his tacit approval to make the analogous conclusion about him?
Also, too, any reputable news-watchdog website wouldn’t have a picture of Dr. Cornelius from the original Planet of the Apes in the upper left corner.
By the way, even if Kenny Wayne Shepard doesn’t like Tina Brown, Tina can still eat shit, based on “Condoleezza Rice” & “worked so ably at Goldman Sachs.”
No shit. I don’t know why he didn’t profess his faptitude over that shit.
Kenny Wayne be trippin.
I think it should have been Conservative-woman-hating…but more to the point, I’m confused as to why he’d be so butthurt about Tina saying those conservative-women-fucknuts were a blow to feminism. Don’t wingnuts think feminism is to blame for everything from gay abortions to global warming? If anything he should proudly proclaim, “YES! They were a blow to feminism!” while masturbating to the Michele Bachmann/Sarah Palin slashfic he just wrote.
heh…that wrathful brunette sure is smart…

i agree w/the punctuation…also, too about the feminism…as such, even the wimmens that read kennywayneshepard don’t much care for teh bachmann:
Thing is, she isn’t my cup of tea……………….. but ANYONE that takes in over 20 children and gives them a chance at a decent life is OK with me.
The point here is that BECAUSE she is a Conservative WOMAN, SHE would not be granted ANY “voice” as would NO Conservative WOMAN by the feckless and clueless hack.
I may not agree with every Conservative woman, but they have more balls than most of the men.

hey! conservative women rock! but i won’t vote for one!
Perhaps a Conservative Woman-loving website launch would make him happy?
He’d probably find it equally distasteful, if they did it right.
Literacy is NOT a conservative value.
No matter how you hyphenate it, it comes out SKREEE!
English is such a fucked up language that maybe he could claim the headline meant what he thinks it means, because, there, aren’t, any, commas. He’d be wrong, but it’s not a completely broken argument.
Unfortunately teh capitalization really does put teh nail in Shepherd’s grammar coffin. Capitalization indicates Woman-hating as a single phrase and Conservative as a separate word. Hard to see otherwise.
And not only that, consider Teh Buttocks.
…while masturbating to the Michele Bachmann/Sarah Palin slashfic he just wrote.
Who or what gets slashed in a Michele Bachmann/Sarah Palin slashfic?
No,wait. Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.
Who or what gets slashed in a Michele Bachmann/Sarah Palin slashfic?
The word “slash” for specifically gayish erotic fiction comes from “Kirk/Spock”, the first recognizable slash fandom, emerging within a stone’s throw of Trek itself and taking with it things like wingfic, quod vide.
That’s why mine are about what they do when we shoot them both into space.
Also, “conservative woman hater” is so hard to disambiguate from “conservative woman hater” with the tools English has available that he should have gone with his first instinct, “conservative-hating woman“.
The emphasis conveys disgust, at her mysterious and terrible vagina.
So I’m reading that as Tina Brown who hates women and is a Conservative.
Chicken fucking-Ken, keep on with it.

Grammar aside, it is often cute how conservatives will understand that something is being levied against them, some charge or description of their actions which they know is bad but don’t understand in the least. And so, they respond like Pavlov’s dog in the only way they know how, accusing their amorphous “enemies” of the exact same thing and smugly sitting back and going “yeah, how about those apples, using those attacks against me, will you”.
They never fail to sound like abject morons. Whether they are trying to accuse civil rights era stalwarts of racism, feminists of sexism, or gays of the “real hatred against a minority” they demonstrate that not only are they exactly what they have been presumed to be, but that they lack any self-awareness or comprehension to understand their own actions or the actions of their enemies.
That they merely see as out of the tribe and attack with the words they have hears either those given by their masters or hurled back at them by their victims.
It’d be sad if they didn’t so often get to run the fucking country based on this “gut thinking”.
Kind of a shitty article; the swipe at DeFazio is more than a little gross, and Obama’s falling popularity relative to whom? Plus the whole “Ds would love to do this piecemeal to embarrass Rs” smacks of lazy conventional wisdom bullshittery. But Landrieu can still kiss my ass.
His voice rising to a near shriek, he added: “We have the economy that tax cuts give us. And it’s pretty pathetic, isn’t it? The president is in a box.”
You’re saying that’s not straight up reporting, tigris?
How shrill!

Whew.
So against my better judgment I went ahore onto the Bozell column cited at the end. The one cited as the “good form” Newsbusters article. And…it wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting. I mean it was called “The ‘Good News’ About Gay Teens”. With an opening like that, I was pretty much expecting the shit we got when conservatives went all in against anti-bullying bills and the “It Gets Better” by actively cheering the deaths of gay teens. And we didn’t get that.
Oh, he is still whining about anti-bullying legislation and the idea that gay people can be shown in any humanizing light whatsoever, but at least he doesn’t openly cheer the deaths of kids. Already, that puts Bozell in the Top 5% for morality in the conservative community.
Of course, there are still mangos for everyone.
Yup.
That’s right.
If they’re losing so badly that they can’t even get a decent number of angry retirees to write in to ABC whining about these shows these days and their fags, then that obviously just means that they are being shut out.
It couldn’t be that their message of hate is losing so terribly that they aren’t even annoying the interns who have to wade through the mail slush anymore, no it must be some cast conspiracy.
I love though how he really doesn’t know where to go with that and leaves it vague. Who is the “they” who is saying “get in line”. ABC? For noting that even the average psychotic that sends letters to broadcast companies isn’t in support of the homophobes? The Post Office? For hiding the mass of letters from the moral majority from the shows? The gays themselves? Who have so mastered their shocktrooper powers to scare good wholesome Christians that now they aren’t just afraid to go outside, but afraid to send pointless letters to try and demonstrate they still exist on this planet.
And exactly how is their dark will supposed to work? This “get in line” is what exactly? What is now merely noting that these people have even lost the false importance of being “the majority” now oppression in and of itself. Should we say, 99% of people aren’t raging lunatics, but I’m sure that 1% is really more powerful than that and should be given free blowjobs, but not from men, because that would be gay?
Exactly where is he going with that?
Well, I know the real place he’s going with that is “be scared, give money to professional homophobes like me so I can ride the gravy train a few more years”, but by the argument itself…
But Landrieu can still kiss my ass.
She is SUCH a butthole. What kind of asshole lets a fucking oil company destroy the coastline of her state, taking all kinds of jobs and recreational/tourism income with it and STILL won’t submit to making them pay a little bit of tax on the record profits they have consistently earned?
No, she can’t kiss your ass. She can kiss sweaty angry Jonah Goldberg ass.
Apparently, someone told the copy editor that “Eats Shoots and Leaves” joke, and he was all like HELLZ YEAH WOLVERINES!!!!!!111!1!1!1!1!!!one
What kind of asshole lets a fucking oil company destroy the coastline of her state, taking all kinds of jobs and recreational/tourism income with it and STILL won’t submit to making them pay a little bit of tax on the record profits they have consistently earned?
Worse yet, she pretends oil companies are being singled out by any attempt to lessen their privileges, as if art supply stores got government subsidies or car washes got special leases on government land. I wonder if bbkf’s toxic-boweled coworker is available…

I’ll assume no one saw the meteor. I was hopeful for a minute there, but it doesn’t seem to have hit anything.
Did I tell y’all that when Iris and I first came to Diriamba looking for a house we stayed at a small hotel, the Diriajen (after the local cacique), where in the little lobby a wake was in progress? We spent the first part of the evening introducing ourselves to strangers, and the second part drinking rum shots and beer with our new mourning friends. At around three a.m. the smell of the corpse became so intolerable we left the hotel and walked around the neighborhood in the pitch black dark just to kill time until the coffin was moved to the chapel, a little after sunup. Iris thought it was a bad omen. I was convinced that Diriamba was going to be our new home.

We were part of a group called Maryland Student Legislature, a type of mock congress modeled after the actual State of Maryland. On very rare occasions, a lucky person’s bill would actually be submitted to the real legislature. That being said: he wrote a piece of legislation that would impeach a governor for lying about having sex.
But let’s give Editor Ken teh benefit of teh doubt and assume he means that Tina Brown hates conservative women. Consider graf 2:
Sounds liek teh braying of a smug and self-righteously bigoted asshole suffering from teh ravages of neurosyphilis when you note that Ken Shepherd’s definition of politically conservative women excludes Condoleezza Rice and Christine Lagarde.

You didn’t get the memo after Cheney shot Whittington?
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I stupidly drifted into the comments section of an article about the Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer wanting to have a beer with the Prez. You might think that a story about this young man, who also requested that his dead comrades be honored on the same day he is awarded the medal, would draw comment from the Obama haters. Sadly, Yes. However, I was unprepared for the commenters who were critical of Cpl. Meyer…for wanting to have a beer with the president. I was so angry and depressed, I immediately knew I needed something to cheer me up. This comment thread soon had me laughing out loud!!1!!! Keep up the good work!
Also, I teach English grammar, among other subjects, to first year college students in China. I’d be tempted to have them read this thread, except I already spend to much class time trying to explain the crazy ass shit that goes down in America. Peace and Love. boc

Cpl. Meyer asked to have a beer with the president. So, obviously and despite the fact that he risked his life against orders to save three dozen fellow soldiers, Meyer must be a traitor. Also, any medal handed out by the Usurper-in-Chief cannot be valid. Why does Cpl. Meyer hate America so?
Cpl. Meyer asked to have a beer with the president.
I figured that, but I also figure the wingnut dislogic would not allow for that to penetrate the overly calloused skull, so if someone made up
some shita believable story, they’d substitute.I think it’s obvious which option I’d’ve gone with.
Also, Bozell looks totally hella baked up there.
here’s an example.
There, there – I see no inherent need to defend one dickhead whilst snarking on another one. Got one thing right, though – Condoleeza “Ask Me Why My Breath Smells Like ExxonMobil’s Taint” Rice definitely IS a storyteller … no doubt her “surely noone could have foreseen” fairytale from late 2001 will bring laughter & delight to children of all ages for years to come!

The lovely daughter just informed me that her favourite character in Looney Tunes is HITLER.

All you have to do is read my latest blog entry to know I am even younger.

She informs me that Neapolitan is a dialect of Italian but she can’t fool me.

I think this law is an outrageous afront to all women. To be fair, the law should be changed so that anyone, male or female, with cleavage must cover up.

I’m all over the afronts of women.

Not the gremlins?!!
Husband’s response to video was to complain about Ochi Chornye.
The “I’m only three and a half years old” gremlin hammering the dials made me think of Gohmert’s latest act of incredible assholishness.
Well, that and every other thing the Republicans have done in the last fifteen years.
Related OT story: here in Ontario, teh baring of breasts has been legal for fifteen years. Last month, teh local LEAFS SUCK gubmint nixed a permit for a National Go Topless Day event at a public park. This resulted in a protest march of topless women and men in bras and bikini tops that, in true passive-aggressive Canuckistani style, circumnavigated teh park (well three sides, the fourth edge is teh lake) without ever stepping foot in it.

So your mom was breaking the law for 75 years?????

Unfortunately, other than during the four days of the year that Canadians call “summer”, it is too cold to do so.
Not sure if this qualifies as foodPr0n, but I just had a great sammich at Cheba Hut . It was great, but for some reason I’m still really hungry
Let’s try that again: Cheba Hut
I’m still really hungry
That link didn’t work. I am left unsatisfied.
Wait.. You’re a troll genius.
I’m still really hungry
try some brownies…
For the record, Veronica is way hotter than Betty, but Betty makes up for it by not being evil. Also, I’d take Cheryl Blossom over either of them any day.
You’re all just now getting around to Teh Ghey in Archie? I covered that like…ages ago.
Potential pr0n:
On a whim, I picked up some ground turkey at the store. I have a hankering for meatballs so I thought I’d throw some Garam Masala in with the usual meatballesque ingredients and then simmer them in a tomato-ginger sauce, with maybe some tumeric, cardamom, and other warm spices.
Any way you’d change/improve? Or should I not make meatballs tonight? I’m totally in the mood to be ordered around, food-wise.
Jennifer, some of us visit around ten different sites–oddly NONE of them offering Betty Boop hentai–and NEVER VENTURE BEYOND. The Internet is a scary place!!!!!
I’m totally in the mood to be ordered around, food-wise.
Bring me a cheeseburger, bitch! And a beer!
Oh, also, I’d use fresh ginger (OF COURSE!). And top everything with green onions. It’s actually a variation on this one pasta sauce–yes, with ginger–I used to make A LOT.
Try again.

Like Cheba isn’t going to give you the munchies the way Thai sticks do…
Baby has had an awesome day of smiles and contentment and 2 naps…CAN YA TELL?!!!!!!
Bring me a cheeseburger, bitch! And a beer!
Try again.
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So acknowledging that gays exist is furthering a political agenda.
Way late to this one, but wanted to answer it anyways.
But yep. It’s a handy trick the right uses. They freak out about whole groups of people and anything they do.
Now, any attempt to talk about said group of people who exist and the problems that face them is now “political” or “controversial” and so must be excised from discussion because of the “strong feelings on both sides”.
Thus you get a lot of media leaving off said groups of people because it’s not worth losing the messages one actually wants to talk about in a work with side “controversies”. And thus the conservatives get what they want, a media reality filled with middle class straight white men and middle class straight white male stories with middle class straight white male casts.
Unless someone wants to get “controversial” and acknowledge that anyone other than white men exists at which point the conservatives howl like monkeys and get really angry that said author “made such a deliberately provocative attempt to set a political agenda” and tsk tsk over how this must demonstrate that the work doesn’t care about the hordes of potential lost fans hoping this continues to cow other works off treading on “controversial” topics.
This is also used a lot about politics. Since the humanity of women or blacks is “unresolved”, it becomes a “tricky problem” to which there’s “no right answer” and can only be debated in “he said/she said” format where both sides are made to look equal and where it’s encouraged to think the “real answer is somewhere in the middle”.
For the many of us whose very lives are designated “political” this is so incredibly frustrating it’s not even funny.
So PENIS.
Now fucking Google is on my arse! “Was that so hard?” Up yer clunge, Google
Speaking of turning whole groups into monolithic cartoon bad guys, the FBI is on the case, and not in a good way.
I have no snark for this.
re: FOX and their hatred of ghey Riverdalians
Teh thing that gets me is teh Family Research Council quote. I mean WTF? A designated Hate Group? SRSLY? What teh hell do they have to do with Archie comics?
I understand teh reflexive need to find someone from teh “other side” so that you can be “balanced” but,,, wait – I don’t understand it FUCKING AT ALL. What about having teh ACLU provide a quote to balance out FRC’s First Amendment trampling, free-speech hating, censorship loving jerkwadery? Those assholes have nothing to do with Riverdale or gay marriage or anything besides the fact that they are a fucking DESIGNATED HATE GROUP. And it’s not just FOX News that pulls this type of bullshit either.
IOW, what Dan Savage said.
…to much >>> too much… That’s a spelling error, not bad grammar. Sheesh…tough crowd!
Yes! The food in China is awesome. I’ve never had a bad meal. Although, the time my friends had me try the dogmeat at the Korean restaurant it was only average. Thank goodness actually…What if dog was more tasty than pig or cow? I don’t really need to add another meat product to my diet.
Also too, just a reminder, that Dan was being interviewed because of itgetsbetter – something that needed to be done to address teh harrowing conditions LGBT teens go through – teh bullying and hate they face every day that drives them to suicide.
There is a very real cost in letting fucking hateful bigoted asswipes like Peter Sprigg have a platform.
