CONTINUING COVERAGE: Eliminationism In Crisis

SNN NIGHTLY NEWS REPORT
Aired October 26, 2007 – 08:32 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
Clif: Good afternoon. This is Clif, reporting for SNN. We’re here at a Starbucks in in Los Angeles with Charles Johnson. Johnson has generously left his fortified bunker in an undisclosed location in the LA area to do an exclusive interview with us.
Thanks for agreeing to chat with us, Charles. Just a moment ago you ordered a mocha frappacino grande. Does it bother you to drink something with an Italian name given the failure of Italy to address the swarming-Muslim-horde issue in Florence and other Italian cities?
Charles: That’s Italian? Shit, I was positive it was Spanish.
Clif: Before we get to your well-publicized feud with Pamela Geller Oshry, I’d like to ask you about your career as a guitarist. Why did you give up that career to become a blogger?
Charles: 9/11, of course, changed everything. Afterwards, the fear that an Islamofascist would kidnap me, rape me and cut off my johnson was overwhelming. My hands were trembling all the time. Have you ever tried to play the guitar when you were pissing your jeans and your hands were trembling faster than Pammie’s personal vibrator?
Clif: Well, it seems that 9/11 has had the opposite effect on Pam. She has just launched her own music career with a music video entitled “My Sharia.” Let’s take a look:
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(END VIDEOTAPE)
Charles: I don’t know what’s worse, her singing or her blogging. I’d sooner listen to an imam chanting the Koran through his nose than listen to that again.
Clif: Perhaps you can explain to our viewers what happened between you and Pamela to cause your previously cordial relationship to break into a public cage match.
Charles: It started when Ms. Fancythong went gallivanting off to Europe to meet with a bunch of former Nazi collaborators about all those jihadis in Europe. Now she thinks that she knows more about sending these towel-headed Allah-worshiping camel-jockeys back to their dung heaps than I do.
Clif: Are you concerned that things might escalate beyond a blog war and a taunting music video war? After all, not too long ago, a salesman was shot dead at the car dealership owned by Pam and her husband. I should add that no charges have been brought in the shooting.
Charles: That doesn’t scare me one bit. Every day I am personally the target of the vast Islamofascist conspiracy that wants to silence me. Just by coming here, I’m risking my life. Every trip to the In-N-Out Burger could be my last.
Clif: Last week, in what appeared to be an effort at rapprochement, Pam apologized for calling you a tool of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. She did, however, stick by her position that you are an idiot.
Charles: What she says bounces off me and sticks to her.
Clif: Are you going to redirect her links to LGF to your “You Are A Idiot” page, the way you do to links from Sadly, No!?
Charles: I don’t do that.
Clif: Thanks, Charles. S,N!, back to you at SNN studios.
Ms. Johnson looks very lovely in that photo.
I recoiled and had to abort video before the first verse was over. Some things are just not meant for saturdays. I’ll wait for the reviews to find out how it ends…
You evil bastards.
Why, why, why … do you torment us with the videos of Pam singing and dancing? You knew that we would click over, if for no other reason, than to see what kind of person still has thigh-high black patent leather boots in their closets (and the other purposes said bondage-special boots have been put to in the past should open a whole new window into the sexual practices of Ms. Oshry … any bets on the over/under for how much time John Bolten spent hanging upside-down in Oshry’s basement before he managed to mutter “Red! Red! Dammit, red!” around the ball gag?)
So yeah, I clicked over, I admit it, my name is wordyeti (Cue ALL: “Hi, wordyeti”) and I can’t turn away from this christawful trainwreck. How long will it be until Pammycakes is facing a child-custody judge like Britney out here in L.A.? Exhibit A would have to be the kids’ testimony as to how long they were forced to practice their little finger-snapping do-si-do while sPam guzzled her way thru a litre of Cap’n Morgan…
Seriously – what causes someone to post something that hackneyed on the web? I know that the bar for entertainment is getting pretty low at this point, but c’mon … that’s at the same level as the landlord in the ivy tutu doing his interpretive dance in The Big Lebowski.
Why does that video exist? Even Patlas should know better than to create something like that. PLEASE TELL ME WHY THAT EXISTS.
No.
She.
Didn’t.
You know, I actually tried to watch that in Firefox, but it wouldn’t work. I then watched it in IE.
I should have taken the clear hint from Firefox.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
Good grief, the renditions of “My Scrotum” my siblings and I used to do when we were kids were worlds better than that. And funnier.
BTW- Is that child abuse?
Even better, if you go to the comments page on Pammy’s blog, you get treated to the lovely discussion taking place there. Let’s all listen in, shall we?
I don’t see LGF coming around, unfrotunately. They can’t withstand being called “Nazi” or “Racist” and will do anything to avoid such attacks. So LGF is a school at best, but such a school yields graduates who can step up to adult challenges. In Holland, the mark of combat-readiness is when you say to yourself “I am a racist”. It is a declaration of independence, that you will be free from the Leftist taunts that are meant to bind you into inaction.
Nice to know that the sturmtruppen are pulling on their lederhosen and pledging allegiance to Pam. Wonder where that particular path is going to lead? Somewhere unpleasant, I think, if the “graduates” of the LGF school do what all graduates are supposed to … move on to bigger and better things.
Never thought I’d see the day when the commenters at LGF were derided as not being venemous and race-baiting enough.
It’s kinda like seeing someone bang on Reinhard Heydrich for being too soft and fuzzy. Sheesh!
By all that is holy and good and sacred, that video needs to disappear forever and be as if it never existed.
I need the Official Melonscooper to remove the piece of my brain that ever saw that.
I feel dirty.
Damn comments is borked.
I shoulda known that watching Atlas Pam would do this to my ‘puter:
Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetConnection was unable to invoke callback close. error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property close not found on motionbox.videoplayer.Connection and there is no default value.

There is something wrong with that woman. She is deeply, deeply disturbed.
Someone (anyone): Think of the children.
I must know: Is Charles Johnson in Fresno (as previously implied) or L. A? ‘Cause if he’s here in L. A., and there’s going to be an Ass-o-palooza here next wknd. (apparently @ whichever Hooters is closest to the mostest morons) the harmonic disconvergence may be too much, & I might have to take my chances hitchhiking out of town.
Also, decadent Easterners, what’s w/ all the In-N-Out Burger references? Is
it a shorthand to communicate your hipness & knowledge of our fair state? Is it sheer jealousy? You all should be jealous!!
I think I got this link here @ S,N!: In-N-Out’s Secret Menu
So good to see Pamela bringing the feminist liberation theology of Orthodox Judaism to a broader public. She should be commended.
I bet Pammy’s video is more effective than waterboarding…
Does fear actually stunt development? or does it reverse it?
No way I’m clicking on that vid – fuck too late. Please, someone get those kids outa that house!
Can we take up a fund to get some sound baffling over to Pamela? Or some wireless mics? Or maybe a suggestion to lip sync or overdub?
Is this the In-n-Out burger on Camrose?
Thanks for the set up.
Boy, Charles Johnson. Talk about a real…. Road House? *Dr. Evil pinky*
I thought we were friends, Clif.
There isn’t enough alcohol in the world for me to unsee what I have seen.
There’s an In-N-Out on Camrose? Where, @ Highland? I really have to get out of the apartment once in a while!
You’d think at some point her liver would just say, “Fuck this” and leave.
How about Pam and her daughters opening up for that batshit mother of the Prussian Blue twins.
I am deeply, deeply sorry to have given her the idea for that song. I am ashamed.
Thanks SNN for giving voice to that remaining 24%. It truly puts George Bush’s approval ratings into context.
Nullifidian, don’t apologize. SUE!!
BTW, Pam’s version of this song is only slightly worse than the Ben Stiller version of it. For any of you Donks feeling all nostalgic for the Clinton 90s, this will cure you of it really fast.
Camrose near Radford.
Those are some good burgers. Hope they’re kosher.
For those more interested in real fast food than recycled Cohen Bros. references:
http://www.in-n-out.com/locations.asp
Holy shit, I just read Pamela’s “My Sharia” lyrics (see the “music video” link). They are awesome.
If for any reason you’re having trouble watching the embedded video, she also has it at YouTube.
I think the proper caption for the video should be:
Hey, friend, could you make your posts a little shorter? I’m just a conservative, and you must know by now that we can’t read too well. Or spel, for that mater.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Or so someone said.
I think this one is worth a gazzilotrillion.

Holy crow! I didn’t know Kevin Drum read this blog.
But you’re right. Charles Johnson does rock. Let’s all take a second to praise him? Dominus Ominus. There, was that so hard? Thanks for your support.
In-N-Out was one of the greatest reasons to live in Cali. I went to Vegas a couple of years ago. First thing I did was run to the easternmost In-N-Out in the US and order one Animal Style.
Fatburger was the other peak of the burger chain range. I never thought a fried egg on a burger could be so artery-clogging good.
OMG. I feel so dirty. I watched Pam’s video.
Now, could she please do some sort of Hustler spread?
With Dick The Cheney pounding her ass?
That’s money, baby.

This is my new philosophy of life.
Also, I can’t believe all you smart, well educated types clicked that link. Hell, even I knew better than to do something that obviously self-destructive.
And I like the In-n-Out Burger at McCarthy Ranch. Hardly ever a line….
mikey
We’re probably nicer to Kevie than his friends, so I don’t blame him for skulking about.
Thanks t4toby! Right back atcha.
One of my cats was on the desk watching me when that clip started. She looked afraid and ran away. She now will not come back up on the desk.
On an even funnier note… Muslims Against Sharia took the time to comment on my blog… 3 times. I mention this because Pammy is a prominent member of said organization …. yes you read that right.
But ‘Kevie’ sounds kind of condescending. In the future, could you call me ‘Mr. Kevie’? Thanks in advance!
No, I’ll stick with Kevie-poo, thanks.
I mention this because Pammy is a prominent member of said organization …. yes you read that right.
Well it’s not that hard to convert to Islam.
There is no God except Allah;
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
There. I just did it.
Burgers be damned (White Castle makes the only one that matters in any case), the important issue here is that Charles Johnson is a God among men. Not quite as big of a God as Robert Spencer, but still, extremely Godlike!
Now I’m not suggesting to you that if you pray to the great Charles Johnson, your wishes will come true, but then again, maybe it’s time someone tried it!
“No, I’ll stick with Kevie-poo, thanks.”
Not even Mr. Kevie-poo? Aren’t you guys the ones who like to give in 50% to your enemies? Because I’m not feeling it…
I see Kevie-wevvy jumped candidates faster then a stripper switches Johns.
? Which candidate am I supporting, Some Guy?
In-N-Out burgers are consistently voted the best fast food burgers in the State of California by odds of more than 2 to 1. And I sure as hell didn’t watch my buddies die face down in the muck to eat at a burger joint based on Aryan Feudalism.
Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
Recently DHL won the contract to be Allah’s messenger. True story. Read it in the Economist Magazine.
Hey, I have to run, but must in all fairness admit to Gavin that he made a great pshop on this post. You KNOW how much I hate to compliment a liberal, so factor that into the compliment if you can. I mean, I SERIOUSLY hate it. It’s like telling a hippie she smells good.
‘Night my hippie friends! Pinot Noir awaits!
That’s a wrap! What do you want to do next?
Gouge my eyes out with a tongue depressor.
This always worked for my mom. I figure it’s worth a try:
Kevin. Go away. Shoo. Shoo!
I’m not optimistic, but I had to give it a try…
mikey
mikey: you shoo your mom?
not cool.
Kevin bugged your mom? God what an asshole.
That was horrifying. Her kids are doomed.
Five Guys make the best burgers around B’more
It’s a called elevating the discourse. Try it.
Kevin, even though Gavin is a much better Photoshopper than I am, the photo for this post was one of my humble efforts..
“mikey said

Kevin. Go away. Shoo. Shoo!”
Don’t shoo your Mom, Mikey.
White Castle snot burgers Kevin? They don’t even use meat.
And what is that shitty cliché 90’s art doing on her wall? Looks like a magazine ad. Oh, I forgot, no taste.
Oops! Sorry Clif. You get the credit. I forget that some of the posters on this site aren’t Gavin, or at least claim not to be. I have to complain about something, since I hate liberals and all they stand for, so I’ll say you probably should have darkened the slate a little bit (ctrl-L, slide to the right) and put in some kind of shadow to make it fit in better.
But in all honesty, it is an excellent piece of work, and I’m just nit-picking because of your progressive views. I will deny this though. It’s part of my vast right-wing conspiracy upbringing.
You think Gavin is better at photoshop? I’m confused! He got destroyed by Six Meat Buffet while they weren’t even paying attention, and I’m pretty sure they were drunk too. I, with my exceedingly lame p-shop skills, routinely humiliate him, photoshoppically.
Are we talking about the same guy here?
“noen said,
White Castle snot burgers Kevin? They don’t even use meat.”
Rats are meat too, Noen! I’m sad you are so discriminatory.
Seriously, gotta go. Miss you guys!
I’m guessing you’ve never been an adolescent boy.
Kevin, here’s a number for you to call: 1-800-USA-ARMY.
Take good care of yourself, buddy!
M Bouffant, if Charles is having an Aceapolooza in LA, maybe we’ll have to attend.
Except they’ll probably do it at some lame place in the Valley.
For me, I’m torn between In-n-Out and Fatburger.
Seriously, gotta go.
Go already. Don’t let the door ….
Dang. We got time warp again.
Question: When are we going to start seeing right wingers complaining about Federal funds to rebuild the California areas damaged by the fire? California gets wildfires every damn year. These people knew that when they moved there. It doesn’t make any sense to build in such a obviously high risk area, but they did anyways. I don’t see why we should have to pay for their bad decisions. Yadda yadda yadda.
I”m holding my breath.
You are not nice people. First you post that hideous picture of Michael Fumento in a Speedo, and now this. Having systematically annihilated our capacity to appreciate the beauty of the human body (the picture really is like Antabuse for homoerotism), you now seek to rob us of the wholesome pleasure of the songs of children. Of children.
Plus I’ll never be able to look at a woman’s cleavage the same way again. Thanks!
Does anyone else see Lesley’s post being bumped down behind newer posts? I think there might be a glitch in ye olde softe-wares.
So do I keep replying to Lesley, or will the time warp flotsam take care of it?
Tell me if anyone sees a velvet paisley-covered Chesterfield sofa.
Yep, SG, Lesley has to have the last word.
Personally, I think the software has a thing for thigh highs and leotards. Just can’t get enough.
Lets see if the posts start coming faster and faster until…

Let’s do the TIME WARP AGAIN!!
My Sharona is a children’s song?
Did I miss something? Is there another vid of Pamela singing, “The Dome of the Rock is Falling Down, Falling Down, falling down…” or “You put your right arm in, you take your right arm in, you put your right arm in and detonate the bomb that strapped to your body to kill all the jews!!! … which will strew your body all about. You put your left arm in, you put your left arm out, you put your left arm in and pull the lever for a liberal democratic who doesn’t care about america! … and that’s what it’s all about. Come now, everybody! You put your right leg in…”
Will someone post the lyrics?
Via Democratic Underground:
You can send the money you saved by not gouging your eyes out directly to my paypal account. vajayjay@aol.com.
You’d think her kids would be embarrassed to be seen with her but I guess they’re still at the pre-dating stage. Just wait til mom does the meet and greet n thigh high boots and leotards with prospective boyfriends (who mysteriously decline repeat invitations).
Whoo, can I play this game? Time warp, ready or not, here I come!
Jesus Fucking Christ on a moped, that woman’s scary. I didn’t dare click on the linky, having made some serious mistakes in my former lives, but those lyrics, man.
And how dare she defile My Sharona? I grooved mightily to that when I was a wee lassie.
You ever notice that Kevin really has nothing to say about real life, or what’s really going on? He repeats his same little hate-phrases, and he comments sort-of on topic about the post, but really, everything he says is so non-specific its meaningless.
Hey, Kevin, how’d you do in the fires? Were you in a threatened region? Or were you completely away? What do you think of what’s going on?
How do you feel about In-n-Out Burger?
Nothing? Yeah, Kevin’s a spam-bot.
Does anyone else think the name “In-N-Out Burger” is a little, um, indecent?
I mean, I have an In-N-Out Burger myself.

Thanks a lot, Sadly, No!. I played the Atlas video and all my house plants wilted. There now getting non-stop classical music in hopes of recovery. Plant Murderers. The Horror, the horror of it all.
If plant murdering doesn’t put us on the most dangerous list, then I don’t know what will…
“g said,

Well, duh, G. I’m not privileged to know what really goes on in the world like liberals are. I’m just a dum conservative (no b, we can’t afford it! We’re conservatives!). I was not aware I was saying anything hateful, but I’ll be quick to agree with you that things said on blogs are meaningless. ‘Cept Right-wing blogs. They actually make you think.
I should mention to you, my hippie friends, that not only am I still a smartly right-wing pundit, but now am a wee bit drunk. But I think I can hold my own. I always do, huh?
g & other Southland Sadlies:
Scroll their comments & perceive their utter lameness, as far as bar choices. But it does sound as if they may keep it a secret, as they are of course scared of us & “teh ghey.”
And Santa Barbarans should be aware there is a YAF(?) meeting there, which is what attracts Ass 0f Hades to our glorious side of This Great Nation of Ours™ in the first place. Check the link, you’ve been warned.
Link from someone else on previous/earlier thread. Thanks, person whose name I forget. And to all the other little people.
Think positive: Once the Islamofashionists have taken over they will purge that video off the net.
I’m not privileged to know what really goes on in the world like liberals are.
what a fucking stupid thing to say. You don’t read the newspaper? You don’t watch the news? You aren’t aware that a lot of people have lost their homes this past week?
More ‘g’ fun:
“Hey, Kevin, how’d you do in the fires? Were you in a threatened region? Or were you completely away? What do you think of what’s going on?”
1) You’ve seen my love for White Castle.
2) You’re aware of my utter disdain for FatBurger.
So how can you not know the answer to your questions?
“how’d you do in the fires?”
-I did as good as anyone not involved in the fires. I wasn’t there.
“Were you in a threatened region?”
-Not even close.
“Or were you completely away?”
-I guess. Could someone be ‘partially’ away?
“What do you think of what’s going on?”
-I think some fires are burning, and they should be put out.
Be serious, you liberal hippie types aren’t going with the idea that those fires are some type of rightwing thingamabob, are you?
Were you in a threatened region? Or were you completely away? What do you think of what’s going on?”
Yankee Doodles in Santa Monica.
Geez. That’s fucking lame.
Yankee Doodles
I’ve walked by this place on the Promenade since I moved to LA in ’96. Never had the desire to go it – it always looked totally lame. Here’s a nice encomium from Yelp:
yankee doodles stopped being cool a looooong time ago folks.
we’re talking 1986 looooong time ago here. but, oooooh, leave it to the frat crowds to commit every conceivable faux paux known to human kind. god bless them. or smite them. whichever.
this establishment is broken down into two sections. the sports bar upstars filled with plenty of young fillies to take your order and then there is the underground floor filled with so many pool and air hockey tables you’d think you’ve accidentally stumbled upon michael vick’s living room. there are also a large array of video games for the video game enthusiams.
the food is well, god, don’t make have to go there. it’s cheap sports bar food. eat at your own cholesterol level’s own risk. but if there is one saving grace to this place it’s that it’s good for large number of groups to come and play pool and have some cheap beers.
granted the place isn’t super crowded in order to be able to do so.
Well, they’ll fit right in.
Were you in a threatened region? Or were you completely away? What do you think of what’s going on?”
You’re not a careful reader.
inkadu: Didn’t know Camrose went into the Valley. Seems like a C. Johnson sort of place.
There used to be In-N-Out bumper stickers that read:
IN-N-OUT
BURGER
which of course would have the b & r of burger removed, leading to:
IN-N-OUT
URGE
Have I told this story before? I haven’t even been drinking.
I can’t believe I had to explain to a guy that I don’t live in Cali after professing my love for White Castle.
Or you’re not a careful explainer. I’m going with the latter.
Go, baby.
Yeah, any place (Yanker Doodles) that advertises on local cable tee vee has got to be lame. But seriously, Hooters was mentioned more than once (not the slightest bit ironically, either) by the assembled multitudes.
Hey, what’s this post about again? Oh yeah, Our Lord and Saviour, Charles Johnson. Ok, you caught me. It’s about Charles Johnson, distant friend of our Lord and Saviour, Ronald Reagan. Still, God bless him, huh? Anyone? *tap* Is this thing on?
You made the wise choice, G 🙂
YAF(?)
Young America’s Foundation. The 2007 West Coast Leadership Conference is November 9 & 10.
I’m not young, but I’ll be there, J. Wanna meet? Not in THAT way you perv. Sheesh, why are liberals always like that?
Hooters was mentioned more than once
Hooters Santa Monica is a place that the kids from Pali and Samohi hung out at, thinking it was cool.
Clif, also, you could have edged him with a 0.5 gaussian buzz and did some lightin-, no, it’s just good. You bastard.
It’s good. And I mean good. The motorcycle is built into the background. His coolness is mostly unperturbed. I still think the board you wrote upon is too light, but overall, it’s brilliant.
I will stop saying good things about you now, since I’m not a fan of hippies or liberals.
I know, Kevin, right now it seems like you’ll never feel any better. But, believe me, you will. Some day, you will.
Why can’t Pam ruin Celine Dion songs?
Hey, would this be as funny to you sadlyno people?
Is that your kind of thing? I’m just asking.
“marc page said,
I know, Kevin, right now it seems like you’ll never feel any better. But, believe me, you will. Some day, you will.”
I don’t even come CLOSE to believing you. If this is as good as it gets, I’m WAY past happy about it.
Testing…
Nope, the pie filter is still better.
Man. I’m beginning to get a sense that this Kevin fellow likes his pie….
mikey
That’s actually pretty funny, Sam, but I’m thinking pie smells better…
mikey
Kevin says, “I’m not young but I’ll be there.”
Why is that the “Young” America’s Foundation is run by a bunch of wretched old white men, including the wife-murderer Richard Kimble from The Fugitive? Is this another one of those Mark Foley deals, Kevin? Will you be buying beers for under-age college boys all week? Ick & double ick!
There are laws about that sort of thing here in California, Kevin. I know things are a lot looser in the state where you live, as it’s legal to marry barnyard animals & your sister, but after the Okies swept through here in the ’30s we had to put a stop to that sort of thing.
I like pie as much as the next guy, but nothing like how much Mikey digs on it!
Good Lord, why do you open yourself up to that crap, Mikey?
We used to have such good trolls here, now they’ll let in any asshole.
but I’m thinking pie smells better…
Right you are, Mikey. I’ve changed it back and I expect the ponk will clear up soon.
My dog’s taken an interest, though…
Mikey, we get it. You like pie. That’s great for you. Trust me, we’re all happy about your enjoyment of pie. Some of us even share your enjoyment of the flaky crust that most pies provide. But come on, dude. It’s not life-changing! Eat some non-pie food for a change!
“Galactic Dustbin said,
We used to have such good trolls here, now they’ll let in any asshole.”
Friend, don’t underestimate yourself!
“Kevin? Will you be buying beers for under-age college boys all week? Ick & double ick!”
No, of course I won’t, but it’s interesting that you find that idea ‘icky’. To be fair, it’s kind of funny that you find ANY idea ‘icky’, but that’s probably just me.
I’m not laughing AT you, I’m laughing WITH you, as far as you know…
Kevin, you’re trying too hard. The flop sweat, it really shows.
Cut it out G. You know when you’ve been owned. It’s not that big of a deal. It’s happened to me too. Just accept it.
Did someone say pie? I love pie. Apple pie. Pecan pie. Pumpkin pie. Peach pie. Shrimp pie. Shrimp scallops. Fried shrimp….
I am really missing Bruce.
Is this going to be another lost weekend where our hosts/facilitators/enablers rest on their laurels just ’cause they’ve gotten out a few knee-slappers this week, & now they’re all off to their fancy-schmancy Saturday before Halloween dress-up parties, while we sit here watching the Rockies get whupped & wondering if the chief hamster has gone back to Central Kraut Standard Time.
Should’ve been a question mark @ the end. The answer would appear to be “yes.”
I’ll call him for your Hoosier. How pleasant it is to find out that hippie liberals can be deterred by an hour or so of stupidity. We might win in Iraq yet! Despite your efforts!
You know, I’ve got to hand it to Kevin. Other trolls just fly by and drop their talking points and leave – I’m talking about YOU, Gary Ruppert.
But Kevin, he persists. He lingers. He hangs in there when weaker trolls would flee. Oh, the Garys of the world have plenty of demands on their time. They have to jump and follow the whims of their Rovian masters. But Kevin, on the other hand, he’s the silent one, the one nobody notices, the fellow off in the corner, carefully drafting his doctrinal talking points out of the spotlight.
Yes, it’s true that Kevin’s posts are nonsensical, sophomoric, and read as though they were stitched together but disjointed talking points. But with the amount of time he spends here, can we expect continuity? Can we expect it to make sense? Can we expect logic? Let’s just appreciate the sheer volume of Kevin’s efforts, and applaud him for it.
No, Kevin’s overlords may overlook him; may think he’s a slow starter, may underestimate him, may laugh behind his back while lauding the superstars like Gary, but we here at Sadly, No can appreciate the time and dedication Kevin brings to his trolling.
Of course, it helps that he has no distractions to dilute his efforts at trolling. The human comforts of friendship, family, and career ambitions take a back seat to trolling, for Kevin.
I, for one, truly admire the fact that Kevin deigns to spend as much time as he does here on a Saturday night, when there must be so many more people clamoring for his brilliance, his scintillating intellect, his jolly company. We are truly grateful for Kevin’s decision to spend his valuable time here, dropping his pearls of wisdom and wit.
Oh please, g. Kevin is just sticking around hoping somebody will call him dirty names just like his mother.
Well, yeah, of course, owlbear. That’s what gets him off.
g, interesting post, but I can’t admire Kevvie.
I’ll say this for him, though – he likes pie.
“Is this going to be another lost weekend where our hosts/facilitators/enablers rest on their laurels just ’cause they’ve gotten out a few knee-slappers this week, & now they’re all off to their fancy-schmancy Saturday before Halloween dress-up parties, while we sit here watching the Rockies get whupped & wondering if the chief hamster has gone back to Central Kraut Standard Time.”
Nope. They realize they haven’t said anything funny at ALL. They’re liberals for cripes sake! Nothing funny comes from that breed. But they realize that some crazy conservative visiting this site punches those visit numbers through the roof, and that’s money. I’m that crazy conservative! 🙂
Admittedly, it won’t be long before even a silly liberal realizes how dumb he/she is for even listening to me, a crazy conservative, who likes pie significantly less than mikey, but it’s been like 3 + months… maybe I’m overestimating the silly liberal mind?
See ya tomorrow night, or on this thread in the next hour. One or the other.
But Kevin, he persists. He lingers. He hangs in there when weaker trolls would flee.
And yet his dick is still tinier than annieangel’s.
No, Kevin’s overlords may overlook him
Actually, maybe Kevin is the Senior Troll in Gary’s department. See, Gary has a limit on how much trolling he can do. When he’s more seasoned, he’ll be able to troll more, and get a penny or two more when they release him from the beginning troll probationary period. Kevin, however, is not only a more seasoned troll, he’s the top notch troll in Gary’s group. Given the level of high-grade snark that Sadly, No! puts out, it’s quite possible that Gary had to call in a troll higher up on the chain.
Now, this is not imply that Kevin is actually better or anything, just that maybe he’s higher up in the Rovian Underpaid Mexican Troll Unit.
His wife’s more than happy if he’s in the basement trolling, as long as he’s done his chores. Remember how Reagan called his wfe “Mommie?” Same Freudian sort of deal w/ Kev & his better half. To wit:
I almost expected some mother-in-law jokes, but further consideration suggests that Mrs. Kevin knows her way around a cast-iron skillet for more than bacon-frying purposes. She’d pretty much have to, to keep Kevin in line.
WACKA WACKA , Kevin.
Bouffant — Don’t worry about the Camrose nonsense. It’s from the Big Lebowski. The In-N-Out Burger they visit is on Camrose, in North Hollywood. But, according to the In-N-Out Burger’s own website, there is no location on Camrose. So, please, I hope you’re not driving up and down Camrose tonight.
Oh, no, I never visit the Valley. I go to the one @ Orange & Sunset where P. Hilton goes before her drunk driving busts. It does exist.
And obviously I seldom go to the movies, though I do know where the Star Lanes were.
Oh please, g. Kevin is just sticking around hoping somebody will call him dirty names just like his mother.
Well, yeah, of course, owlbear. That’s what gets him off.
Are you incineratin’ that Kevin is a ‘va jay jay’?
Draw your own conclusions about Kevin, Worst.
Hey, M. bouffant. I hardly ever get east of the 405 these days.

My Sharona is a children’s song?
I guess it is, in a way. In a very, very creepy way.
Ay-yi-yi g, that’s a very effete Westside world you live in. I’m seldom W. of La Cienega (hell, Fairfax) or E. of Vine. But I’m: a) mental; b) lazy; c) carless.
G, don’t feel bad that I owned you! Hand to God, it’s just a thing that happens! It’s no big deal, and you can get out of it by smirking and calling me a bastard.
Regardless, What the hell?
“But Kevin, he persists. He lingers. He hangs in there when weaker trolls would flee. Oh, the Garys of the world have plenty of demands on their time. They have to jump and follow the whims of their Rovian masters. But Kevin, on the other hand, he’s the silent one, the one nobody notices, the fellow off in the corner, carefully drafting his doctrinal talking points out of the spotlight.”
Is this just weird to me? I can’t even claim ‘projection’ this time. The intelligent among you (who don’t yet hate me, and I forgive you if you do, I work hard to deserve it) must see this as a strange group of statements. IS this projection? I can’t even follow it. I have ‘talking points’?!?! I’m silent? What the hell?
G, in the strange possibility that I’m reading you correctly, there is no need to be a silent one, a person nobody notices, or a guy off in a corner. I make fun of liberals all the time, but I don’t really mean it. Sure, I’m just a goofy Conservative, but realize that we are mostly the same. I can’t even guide you towards a religion, since I don’t have one. But I’m here as a friend if you need help. blogagog@yahoo.com.
I’m going back to posturing now. Liberals suck!
that’s a very effete Westside world you live in.
Well, hell, yeah, I’m in Topanga. Some folks may call it effete.
I dunno, I really have a hard time hearing Kevie-weevy over the sound of his party’s nominee being laughed out of the voting booths across America.
Wasn’t Topanga that chick in that craptasticle Boy Meats World show 15 years ago?
“His wife’s more than happy if he’s in the basement trolling, as long as he’s done his chores.”
“And yet his dick is still tinier than annieangel’s.”
“Kevin is just sticking around hoping somebody will call him dirty names just like his mother.”
What is wrong with you people!
Does anyone else think the name “In-N-Out Burger” is a little, um, indecent?
I mean, I have an In-N-Out Burger myself.
When I moved to CA in the mid 80s a young couple on my side of the apartment complex had an In-N-Out Burger bumper sticker on their Toyota pickup. They had surgically removed the ‘B’ and the trailing ‘r’ from the Burger part and did a seamless splice to the In-N-Out part. It was pretty funny.
The also had the first Toyota I’d seen with everything but the “YO” removed from the emblem. I decided then and there I had to get to know those people.
I think “In-N-Out Burger” is more obscene than “In-n-Out Urge,” but I like the explicit deliberateness that comes from taking letters off bumper stickers.
I’ve seen one “Yo” truck, and it made me happy.
Is there a Canadian chain called, “In-n-Oot Burger”?
wow charles is really going batshit insane in the bottom of the comments of this thread.

I guess I agree with his outrage, but why find it shocking dude? I mean you’ve had people posting on your website for years about nuking millions of people and shit like castrating all Muslim men. I mean… you already have all the hate speech of any nazi site.
I agree with his arguing against these neo Nazis, but he is one hypocritical, and two has an incredibly snarky holier-than-thou manner of arguing which depicts a certain lack of social breeding in his upbringing
What’s with the “you are a idiot” redirect?
Charles’ 1337 internet debation power pwns your bonez
inkadu, LGF believes in the rapier-like wit, subtly and pointed debate of rational, civilized discourse for the working of a better future.
Which is why the re-direct link to a epilepsy-killer of a grammatically incorrect cartoon.
It makes sense.
Cokane, thanks for the link!
Here’s are some good ones:
Boy, this reminds me of all those bloody wars between Intelligent Design people and folks who that the “Designer” was a Christian God. Man, those wars were just effin’ BRUTAL. Annihilating muslims has nothing to do with white supremacy.
Yep. A society of equals, all equally unable to breathe because their container truck doesn’t have airholes.
You’d think her kids would be embarrassed to be seen with her but I guess they’re still at the pre-dating stage. Just wait til mom does the meet and greet n thigh high boots and leotards with prospective boyfriends (who mysteriously decline repeat invitations).
Just wait ’til mom does her Torquemada impression in thigh high boots and leotards, and the AtlasSpawn catches prospective BF drooling over mom’s boobs….
Itchy Bro, see my post above…somewhere. The bumper stickers were pretty much square, w/ “In-N-Out” the top line & “Burger” the bottom line. I think that’s how people got the idea in the first place. I don’t think I ever saw one that hadn’t been altered.
I saw one once that was altered from Ollie North to O lie North.
Willy could only stomach the first verse before shutting it off.
You’ve gone too far by bringing this to my attention…Willy is reporting this to the UN Commission on Human Rights.
The Knack will never be the same for Willy.

Kevin @ 3:59: But I think I can hold my own. I always do, huh?
Pitching that stays up and hangs over the plate like that is why the Red Sox will win the World Series.
I guess I agree with his outrage, but why find it shocking dude?
Poor Charles. First he came for the Muslims, but he was not a Muslim and said “FUCK YEAH!”
Dunno, Dan. I made them lose in 1986 simply by going to college up there. Don’t make me do it again! 🙂
This just shows you how incredibly complex the current political climate is in the US, how old categories are irrelevant.
OK you have:
1.) Right wing neoconservatives (Bush, Cheney, Condi Rice, AIPAC, etc.) They want total and uncritical support for Israel and total war in the MIddle East. Put Charles Johnson in this category.
2.) Moderate neoconservatives (Hillary, the DLC): They want total and uncritical support for Israel and total war in the MIddle East. They’re just not as rude about it.
3.) Traditional liberals (Krugman, Edwards and Obama, Howard Dean, etc.) They don’t really want uncritical support for Israel and total war in the Middle East but they’d really, really like to ignore the whole thing for right now and talk about social security.
4.) Leftists and Left liberals (Kucinich, Answer, etc.) Who cares. Nobody listens to them and they hate one another anyway.
5.) Christian Fascists: They sort of have an alliance with Group number 1. They want total and uncritical support for Israel and total war in the MIddle East. But they’re also concerned about gay marriage and abortion. They’re afraid of a possible candidate (like Giuliani or Hillary) who can bring groups #1 and #2 together.
which brings us to
6.) Anglo Redneck Fascists (Stormfront, David Duke, Pat Buchanan, a certain subset of Ron Paul followers). They hate Israel and don’t want war in the Middle East. It’s not the Arabs that are the problem. It’s the Mexicans.
7.) Flat out Jewish fascists (Kahane, Massada2000, etc.): Obviously Pam Geller belongs here. They hate group #6. Think group #1 is going soft on them. Think group #2 has been soft for a long time. Hate groups 3 and 4.
That leaves them an alliance with group #5 (who cares if the Christian fascists think you’re going to hell. As long as they support Israel and hate Muslims, they’re fine).
But Europe has no group number 5. It has group
#8: The Euro anti-immigrant right. Group 7 is hoping they hate Muslims blacks and liberals more than they hate Jews. Charles Johnson really has no problem with this group BUT
He wants to find his way back to respectability. After all, that Memri/AIPAC money won’t last forever and some day he might even have to get a job or work with liberals. So he’s counting on your guys to give him a way back in. Picking a fight with the Atlas Shrugs bitch is perfect. Look for Chuckles the Clown to start kissing up to Hillary and arguing for an alliance of groups #1 and groups #2
Since a good part of the liberal “netroots’ will support Hillary, put them in group #2 by default. Therefore, Chuckles wants to be your friend.
Postmodernism —
Wow. That, was, like, totally insightful!
I would just like to add the Christians hate the Jews just as much as the next guy — but they ally with them confident in the knowledge that Jesus will come and slay them all once they’ve worked their hook-nosed ways as part of the End Times prophecy.
And as the Christian Fascists go, they seem to be supporting Giullani in weirdly large numbers for a cross-dressing gay co-habitator. It seems that half “the base” is motivated by social issues, the other half is more concerned with making sure that the United States is God’s own mighty Empire heralding the return of the messiah or some crazy crap. Giuliani, for all his “social liberal” leanings, seems more likely to create a police state which would suit the Christian fascists just fine, because once they have the fascism, the Christian part is sure to follow, and it’s a lot easier to just jail homosexuals as terrorists than try to get the supreme court to rule on anything in their favor.
It’s fun to be unhinged.
I guess what I’m saying is that for evangelicals, what is important is that there is RIGHT and there is WRONG and WRONG needs to be PUNISHED. Often this turns into looking like they care about values, but what they care about sadism and top-down enforced morality. The nature of that morality is almost inconsequential.
Hence, Giuliani is tied with Huckabee among evangelicals in the bible belt.
I’m not watching Dodd now because I don’t have a TV. Updates?
Fuck. Josh Marhsall said it first and better.
Asshole.
Chazmo only ever orders fappacinos.
I agree with Josh on Rudy but as a member of group #3 he’s still going to have to bend over while group #2 inserts the dildo.
Shorter Josh in About Oh 6 months:
“At least Hillary’s using a clean dildo with lube instead of a toilet plunger (Google Abner Louima). No can we please talk about social security instead?”
Why are those girl’s (her daughters I assume) dressed like little Taliban girls?
Can you guys just ignore this Kevin guy, Please? Pretty please? He is just not funny nor witty. One of the reasons I always come here is to read the regulars(commentors) and irregulars comment on The Funny.
Lets all just watch him as he flails away trying to get attention because you know deep down he would like to be with the cool crowd.
Thank you and best wishes
Why can’t Pam ruin Celine Dion songs?
Don’t they come pre-ruined?
Why are those girl’s (her daughters I assume) dressed like little Taliban girls?
Clearly watching the video and reading the thread both have their disadvantages.
Capelza:
My understanding is that orthodox jewish women (and maybe girls especially) are supposed to cover their heads. Unlike jokes about covering the ankle, there is something to be said for jewish women covering their hair, because black curly hair drives me absolutely nuts. And it doesn’t have to be black curly jewish hair. It could be romanian hair. Or italian hair. In fact, if I raped someone, it would be because they had curly hair. And, you know what? The hair would be responsible for a full 9/10’s of my desire. So it’s good they keep it covered. And its also great to hear conservative Judaism make such a strong stand for the rights of women to be free and equal members in society, including being able to become rabbis, readithe torah at synagogue, and putting clarinets in their mouths during Klezmer concerts. Really, truely, Pam Atlas is feminist par excellence. That’s french, by the way.
Postmodernism: It’s going to be a sad couple of years.
I realized this week that nobody during the Third Reich was living “in the Third Reich” the way we understand it today. They were living in the present, unaware that the future would bring the stark horror of their situation into clear light. I worry that in these days Americans are living in the dim beginnings of that time — and I see glimpses of a totalatarian movement coming, the pieces being placed on the board (media, military, corporations, private militias, government agencies). I don’t know if I’m crazy, because, fortunately, I think most people get to live through events like these only once in their lives. But I can’t help look at the trend from Eisenhower’s “military-industrial complex,” to Nixon’s pre-mature power grab, to the now almost completely unrestricted power of the imperial presidency (but only when supported by the VRWC) that is essentially unchallenged by the “opposition party” or the general public (see ‘media’ above), coupled with the knowledge of what happened to Kerry, Gore, and W. Clinton (again, see ‘media) and think, “Fuck, it’s time I started establishing connections in Canada, before things get worse.”
And then, you know, I know I probably wont get shipped off to Gitmo. But the economy may very well completely collapse. And living in the United States — well, it just wont be fun anymore. Sure, I like my unrestricted access to porn, but I like to sleep at night, too.
I suppose it’s superfluous to mention Elaine Bennis at this point, but I’ll do it anyway. The Seinfeld folks didn’t realize the humorous potential, I guess, of a very bad dancer gesturing at her own crotch. That’s some nasty shit. Too bad there’s no V-chip for the InterTubes.
Both those girls will have Muslim or black boyfriends in college, I guarantee you.
Maybe they can team up with the Prussian Blue twins and cruise the local mosques.
Please, inkadu, keep your rape fantasies to yourself.
“Postmodernism said,

And then Inkadu claimed that defining an incredibly simple political climate as ‘complex’ was insightful! You guys are SOOO funny :)!
Why do you try so hard to put people in groups? Don’t you realize that are creating bigotry? Or maybe I should rephrase that:
Do you even realize that you are creating bigotry?
Someone mentioned upstream that My Sharona was a kid’s song, in a creepy, creepy way. To wit, a sample of the actual lyrics:
“Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind.”
Heh. Indeed.
Know what?
No.
Not gonna play this game. Identifying, labeling, defining groups, even if the groups are more political than ethnic or sectarian may well have some value in handicapping our near-term future, but it feels like nothing so much as a long way around to hate.
Racists, people who fear diversity and loath tolerance, people who’s only solution to social problems is killing, these are our problems. No matter who represents this worldview, they are the enemies of peace, progress and prosperity. Our homeless, our sick, our working poor cannot just wait for the government to deign to throw token dollars at our overwhelming domestic problems while they squander our real wealth on imperial fever dreams.
Nope. It’s a beautiful, sparkly, crisp fall morning, bright blue skies and orange leaves. A football game playing softly in the background. Huevos Rancheros planned for a late brunch with a pitcher of Sangria made with a split of champagne for the festive sparkle. I have a full-blown case of OD (Outrage Dysfunction). The world is sliding intractably into global catastrophe on all fronts, military, economic, climate. It’s important, and we need to work with all our power to change it.
But this morning? I think I’ll just take the morning off from all the hate and horror. I’ll find some peace and some beauty in the world around me, and for at least a couple hours I’ll shut out the misery. Like Scarlett, I’ll think about it tomorrow…

In fact, inkadu, you might want to think about why you have rape fantasies at all, let alone express them on a blog. It’s almost as if you’re equating rape with sex or something.
M. Bouffant, You are correct; the “urge” was centered below the “In-N-Out”.
This was a novelty to me because I was new to CA (Sacto area) and I think In-N-Out Burger was still a So.Cal. chain at that time.
I laughed out loud at a bumper sticker the other day. It said “Somebody else for president”.
“Good grief, the renditions of “My Scrotum” my siblings and I used to do when we were kids were worlds better than that. And funnier.”
LYRICS, PLEASE.
(I just got here. What have I missed? Wait, let me read the above 181 comments…)
Was I the only person who thought Inkadu was joking? Because “if I ever rape someone” struck me as kinda funny, seeing as how it can’t be taken seriously.
Despite Mikey’s insatiable love for pie, I find myself in almost complete agreement with him! Except for the part about the world going to hell in a handbasket. You guys should listen to him!
No, Johnny, I was being completely serious about raping people with curly hair. But as I see this is a blog filled with hairy-armpitted lesbian feminazi’s who object to rape on principle, I will simply keep my rape fantasies off-line and stick to having sex with my extensive wig collection in the privacy of my own home.
Pamela Geller Oshry. What a big nut.
For like half a second I almost gave Charles Johnson credit for moral clarity. Then I realized that it was inevitable that, thanks in great part to people like him, Nazis would make common cause with anti-Muslim bigots like him and Pam. Chickens coming home to roost, etc.
“No, Johnny, I was being completely serious about raping people with curly hair.”
I was afraid of that. I thought I could recognize a joke when I saw one, but I guess my humor-spidey-sense isn’t as finely honed as it could be. Why do you hate women so much, Ink?
Okay, I read them all, by which I mean, I saw “181 comments” and thought: Oh, look, a troll is here. So I skipped his and it all went much faster.
Inkadu: You wouldn’t like the gals of the Lubuvitcher sect of meshugganah Orthodox Judaism, then, because they all cut their hair and wear ultra-glam non-curly (and sometimes blond!) wigs with names like “The Empress” and “Splendid Impression.” Yes, the wigs have names. Plus the women have many, many children.
Speaking of burgers, when the talk turns to sammiches next time, I think I may have to weigh in on the subject of hoagies. You have been warned.
And another thing: I’m as offended by the acoustics of that hellish video as by the abusive enslavement of the girls. And I’m even more offended by the ineptitude of the lyrics.
Can’t those people do anything right?
Sign me,
Mister Offended
“extensive wig collection”? NOW you tell me.
I was afraid of that. I thought I could recognize a joke when I saw one, but I guess my humor-spidey-sense isn’t as finely honed as it could be. Why do you hate women so much, Ink?
Well, Johnny, great question, thanks for asking. It all began with this total bitch named Eve, who reminds me of my mother in a lot of ways…

The horror! The horror!
Seriously, though, I thought the Lubavitcher’s were hard-core orthodox.
Like Mikey, I am reveling in my superior intellect for being smart enough NOT to watch that video. You’re not going to get me to click that link. Do I look stupid to you? (you, uh, don’t have to answer that question. It’s rhetorical).
Click the link, Johnny Coelacanth. The Power of Christ Compels You!
Lubavitchers are hard-core Orthodox, but a specific sect. They revere “the Rebbe,” Menachim Schneerson, who died a few years ago. I’m not sure if someone has been named his successor, but I doubt it. I think they thought he was (/is) the messiah. Don’t quote me. Everything I think I know about them I got from a great series of articles in the New Yorker twenty years ago.
The world is sliding intractably into global catastrophe on all fronts, military, economic, climate. It’s important, and we need to work with all our power to change it.

This is how I am feeling today too.
But I can’t chill for the whole day, need to at least try and get something political started, to read and learn.
He doesn’t hate women, he just loves wigs.
LYRICS, PLEASE.
I wish I had them, MrWonderful. I was just a little kid. I was the drummer, which means I flailed around with a pair of pencils. The actual singing was done by my older brother (in high school; Get the Knack was his album) and sister (in middle school). I could check with them, but I don’t think they’ll remember much.
Well, since I was compelled by the power of Jesus to click the link, I did. I made it all the way to the part where the girls start snapping their fingers, and then I had to close my browser. I remain unscathed by teh stoopid.
Wow. I’m really late to this party, huh?
My favorite deleted letters thing is on the Red Line trains where “No Passing Through” is changed to “No Assing Rough”. Doesn’t quite live up to the standard of the In N Out Urge, but it’s good for an occasional giggle.
RE: the deleted letters thing – There is an OYO pick-up truck in my neighborhood.
The old Muni buses in SF had a decal on many of the windows that said:
“In case of emergency, kick out glass”.
They had all been modified to read:
“In case of emergency, kick ass”.
Just thinking about it still cracks me up…
mikey
I once saw a Nissan pickup truck with the “Ni” and the “an” removed from the brand name. In contrast to Itchy Brother, I decided then and there I did not want to get to know those people.
This is an oldie, but my favorite bumper sticker was “What Would Xena Do?” Since I live near the world HQ for Focus on the Family I thought that one was extra truthy.
A friend of mine bought a used car that had a “Penn State” bumper sticker on it. So he altered it to read “State Pen.”
J–
I play drums, too. When all the S,N! math(s) professors have their conclave, we can hang out and feel dumber but sexier.
I once saw a WWJD? bumper sticker (from a distance) near a Grateful Dead skull sticker on the same car, and I got all huffy and thought, “Why the fuck would a Deadhead have a Jesus sticker?” Then I got closer and saw that the letters stood for What Would Jerry Do?, and everything was all right again.
I play drums, too. When all the S,N! math(s) professors have their conclave, we can hang out and feel dumber but sexier.
I wish, but I unfortunately don’t play drums. I was just the drummer when my siblings and I put on records and played band. I was Ringo when we played the Beatles.
I would like to hang with the drummers, though. I could make runs to the bar and shout out, “Give the drummers some!” And it would certainly beat hanging with the lead singers and bass players. Ha!
G, my offer still stands.
Kevin, I think your posts would be more interesting if I used greasemonkey, and every single one of them said “I like pie”.
Seriously, you are both boring and pathetic.
1-800-USA-ARMY.
Their offer still stands.
“Nice knowin’ ya’ Cliff”
Oh, come on…you got to know that he’s Cliff and there’s a cliff and that a Cliff and a cliff is the same. It’s too CEREBRAL!
Hello, moonbats! Did I mention that my penis is gigantic? Tee hee.
OTOH, I have never been able to look at a “To Let” sign in the UK without mentally adding a letter. You know.
I’d like to see Kevin in a debate with the Boggle-playing chicken.
My money’s on Kev. (Unless they play Boggle.)
When I first read that, Hoosier, I read “My monkey’s on Kev.”
And I was thinking damn, you got a monkey with bad taste.
Wha..? MONEY? Oh, never mind.
Carry on…

For those of you playing the home game, this is what “Oh, shit, I’ve been caught dead-on to lying. Stall for time while franticly searching for scapegoat” sounds like.
I’d like to focus on the, “Oh, I’ve had my identity stolen.” part of this exchange. There are two possible reasons for this here. Neither is good, and both can be applied to many, many, many officials in this administration.
1: As noted before, the good Col. is throwing more red hearings the a juggling clown, racking his brain to find someone else to blame for his incredible blunder. This is pathetic and I would say makes him a good candidate for redeployment to, say, NORAD.
2: Some actually HAS stolen his identity to the point where they have ACCESS TO HIS OFFICIAL MILITARY EMAIL ACCOUNT. This doesn’t bother him at all. This makes him so blatantly inept and incompetent to the point where he should be relieved of command, simply to preserve the safety of those currently under his command.
So, to sum up as my HS music teacher would love to say, “You’re either lying or you’re stupid; which is it?”
Hi, Some Guy. Yeah, I’ve been reading that hole story, too. It’s very strange.
In connection with that, I’m still a little puzzled why the Beauchamp story is such a big deal, too. Why has the right invested so much effort in proving that some guy’s personal memoir about trivial things is not true?
Whoops. Meant “whole story”
Simple, g. It’s become very obvious. Right Blogistan’s greatest victory, their most memorable moment, the one time they actually DID something was the Rather memo. You know, kerning, typwriters, Dan resigning in disgrace.
Huge victory for Right Blogistan (yeah, I know, it’s pathetic, but when you been wrong, hugely irreparably wrong over and over again, every time, that’s what constitutes your greatest victory). And the mindless tools who populate Right Blogistan, the malkin thing and Ace of PlaDoh and the like, just keep trying to get another win. So they think debunking something they consider part of the Left’s narrative is their path to victory after victory. And while nobody with any sense really thinks they’ve successfully debunked Beauchamp, they feel like if they keep picking at that scab, somebody will get him discharged or imprisoned or something and they’ll be right again. And they really want to know what that feels like…
mikey
Oh, mikey, I understand why the Right Blogistan cares about it. What I don’t understand is why the Army cares about it.

A whole lot of moving, inspiring, and profound stuff.
Mikey, I am so in love with you when you do that. Ever read Stranger In A Strange Land? One of the few decent Heinlein books, in my not-so-humble opinion.
His name was Mike, as I recall. Ever considered being the Messiah for the new millennium? Just askin’.
Hi Qetesh. Thanks. That’s very nice.
Yeah, Michael Valentine Smith. I always wanted to nap at the bottom of the pool. And before I figured out that it was all a scam to control the wealth and power in an essentially monarchical society, I thought the best expression of spirituality was “Thou art God”.
Sorry, g. I was overly proud of myself for figuring that one out. Anyway, I suspect the army cares because they are cultivating a special relationship with Right Blogistan and the warbloggers, and by helping them toss Beauchamp under the Bradley Fighting Vehicle they are cementing their relationship, washing in the blood of the victim, if you will…
mikey
Let’s just appreciate the sheer volume of Kevin’s efforts, and applaud him for it.
So you’re saying, G, that some trolls haven’t experience unalloyed approval from another human being since they finished their toilet-training? It would certainly help explain why Pie has become the top menu item at all the best blogs…
One of my friends had an Irish Setter who really, really, really adored riding shotgun. The car had an altered bumpersticker that read “Dog Is My Co-Pilot”.
Sadly, some Christianist asswipe with no sense of humor decided to move beyond the religious-tracts-under-the-wipers protest and keyed her car. God is love, y’all.
And a golden oldie for a Sunday evening:
What do you call those people who hang around with musicians?
Drummers.
Does the ‘night of long knives” give anyone any solace here.
And I guess that video proves right wing quasi-fascists have a sense of humor.HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!SooooClever1!!!1!1My head hurts…
Never mind that shit.
More fundies in their undies:

His defense: Yes, I might have taken pictures of myself nude and posted them on the web, but I was too fucked up to be sure. And who stole my dick?!?
Next stop: rehab.
A passing thought:
Manny Ramirez may very well be the perfect baseball player.
Thank you. Move along….

I served with Roberto Clemente. I knew Roberto Clemente. Roberto Clemente was a friend of mine. Manny Ramirez, you’re no Roberto Clemente.

“This just shows you how incredibly complex the current political climate is in the US, how old categories are irrelevant.
OK you have:
1.) Right wing neoconservatives (Bush, Cheney, Condi Rice, AIPAC, etc.) They want total and uncritical support for Israel and total war in the MIddle East. Put Charles Johnson in this category.
2.) Moderate neoconservatives (Hillary, the DLC): They want total and uncritical support for Israel and total war in the MIddle East. They’re just not as rude about it.
3.) Traditional liberals (Krugman, Edwards and Obama, Howard Dean, etc.) They don’t really want uncritical support for Israel and total war in the Middle East but they’d really, really like to ignore the whole thing for right now and talk about social security.
4.) Leftists and Left liberals (Kucinich, Answer, etc.) Who cares. Nobody listens to them and they hate one another anyway.
5.) Christian Fascists: They sort of have an alliance with Group number 1. They want total and uncritical support for Israel and total war in the MIddle East. But they’re also concerned about gay marriage and abortion. They’re afraid of a possible candidate (like Giuliani or Hillary) who can bring groups #1 and #2 together.
which brings us to
6.) Anglo Redneck Fascists (Stormfront, David Duke, Pat Buchanan, a certain subset of Ron Paul followers). They hate Israel and don’t want war in the Middle East. It’s not the Arabs that are the problem. It’s the Mexicans.
7.) Flat out Jewish fascists (Kahane, Massada2000, etc.): Obviously Pam Geller belongs here. They hate group #6. Think group #1 is going soft on them. Think group #2 has been soft for a long time. Hate groups 3 and 4.
That leaves them an alliance with group #5 (who cares if the Christian fascists think you’re going to hell. As long as they support Israel and hate Muslims, they’re fine).
But Europe has no group number 5. It has group
#8: The Euro anti-immigrant right. Group 7 is hoping they hate Muslims blacks and liberals more than they hate Jews. Charles Johnson really has no problem with this group BUT
He wants to find his way back to respectability. After all, that Memri/AIPAC money won’t last forever and some day he might even have to get a job or work with liberals. So he’s counting on your guys to give him a way back in. Picking a fight with the Atlas Shrugs bitch is perfect. Look for Chuckles the Clown to start kissing up to Hillary and arguing for an alliance of groups #1 and groups #2
Since a good part of the liberal “netroots’ will support Hillary, put them in group #2 by default. Therefore, Chuckles wants to be your friend.” Wow,just,Wow.Sadly hiring?
There’s two problems with Manny, mikey.
First off, by any system you use, Manny is one of the two worst defensive players in the game, along with Giambi.
Second, he’s a member of the Boston Red Sox.
My favorite drummer joke:
Q: How can you tell the drum riser is level?
A. Drummer is drooling out of both sides of his mouth.
Disclaimer: One of my many-skilled partner’s talents is drumming, and I’ve never noticed him actually drooling, at least while awake.
Ahh, but you see, I’m using the mikey system.
Look. Baseball is entertainment (sorry – stop me if you heard this rant). Manny is entertaining. The hair, the way he wears his uniform, the way he approaches his bid-ness. Manny is beyond awesome. Did you see him flip the batting helmet off as he rounded second last nite, brad? That was pure beauty. This is the 21st century. We can’t buy superstars like clemente and mays. Nope. That just ain’t gonna sell today.
Manny. The way he wears his uniform. The way he does his job. His bosses hate him, but they need him. The fans wonder when he goes out that door in the middle of the inning. I LOVE it. And nobody can say he’s a dog. He does his job, and he delivers, over and over again.
Thing is, he recognizes, maybe more than even tradition, that it’s a team sport. He understands he can do his job, kick ASS, and the Sox might still lose. And the thing is, he GETS that it’s just a game. You try to win, and if you lose, it’s ok.
If there’s anything that bothers me about this team, it’s the payroll. I hate the idea of being able to buy the pennant. That’s the main reason I’m not a yankees fan. But with characters like Ortiz and Manny, and the rookies, and the closer, and the bullpen, this team is just easier to root for.
mikey
The way Manny flipped his batting helmet as he ran the basepath was sufficient to throw his stride off just enough to get thrown out at home. That’s flair?
Oh, that he tokes up in the Green Monster mid-game is indeed something to love about Manny. If he wasn’t a Red Sock, he’d be among my fav players, for many of the same reasons you mention.
That’s flair?
Hell yeah.
And don’t forget the sunglasses that play MP3s. He GETS it. He knows he’s worth 25 million dollars for his hitting, and he’s not going to stop living because of it.
If you can’t dig the freedom and power living in the same place, the market and the performance, the act and the delivery, you’re trying to see baseball as something it simply is NOT anymore. There are no Micky Mantles anymore. Derek Jeter is the last pure company superstar. The rest is pure entertainment, performance as a function of payroll.
And I’m a Manny fan…
mikey
He knows he’s worth 25 million dollars for his hitting, and he’s not going to stop living because of it.
Well, at least he realizes he ain’t gonna make a living off his base running or fielding or throwing arm.
leo. I know, it’s hard. But Manny’s good for 40HRs, 130RBIs and 120Runs. Every year. That’s what gives him the freedom to “be Manny”.
And I admire the way he gets both the importance of performance and the ultimate unimportance of the games. It’s a beautiful thing…
mikey
Manny’s good for 40HRs, 130RBIs and 120Runs.
He’s got the runs. Huhuhuhuhuhuh.
mikey,
I have nothing against baseball as performance art. And if you had said that Manny was the perfect entertainer in baseball, I might have agreed with you. But you wrote that he may very well be the perfect baseball player. He is a great hitter. Average in every other category.
Hmmm. That’s worth thinking about. As the gap between performance art and and baseball player narrows, it becomes, perhaps, less of an issue. But today? Maybe it still means something.
I’ll cogitate for a bit….
mikey
This whole discussion is moot, because the best baseball player ever is obviously Mark McGuire.
*straight face starts to fail….*
Sorry, Air Bud. He’s a multi-sport star.
Baseball as performance art goes back a long way.
Introducing, Rube Waddell
There’s an error message where the video frame should be but having reviewed the comments, I’ve decided to take my computer’s word for it.
Anyways, the photo at the top is making me laugh too hard to appreciate anything else.
Oh yes:
Q. What does it mean when a drummer rings your door bell?
A. Pizza’s here.
Q. What do you call a drummer who just broke up with his girlfriend?
A. Homeless.
Can we please get Charles Johnson off of the top post? I can’t stand coming back to see more of his stony, psycho visage.
Here’s my musician joke:
An alto sax player dies and goes to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter says, “I see you have your ax with you. God’s got a band – just walk through those doors there and join the rehearsal.”
So the player goes in and there’s an empty seat in the alto section, right next to Trane. He looks over to the tenor section and there’s Coleman. He looks over at the horn section and there’s Clifford Brown. He looks down at the charts on his stand, and they’re written by Duke. He turns to Trane and he says -“This is unbelievable. This really IS heaven!”
Trane says, “Yeah, well, it’s OK, I guess. There’s one problem, though.”
“What’s that?” says the guy.
“God has a chick. And she sings.”
Straying away from drummers:
Q. How is a musician not like a large pizza?
A. A large pizza can feed a family of four.
Q. How many guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A. Two. One to screw in the bulb, and another to stand there saying, “He sucks. I am so much better than he is.”
I play drums, too. When all the S,N! math(s) professors have their conclave, we can hang out and feel dumber but sexier.
Just look for all the other cats who showed up forty minutes after the gig started.
Q: Why is a cello better than a violin?
A: It burns longer.
Q: If a flautist and an oboist jump off a building, who will land first?
A: Who cares?
Q: How can you ensure that a two-person viola section will stay in tune?
A: Shoot one of them.
What?
Red Sox sweep Rockies. Yeeha!
You heard about the accordian player who ran out of gas in a bad part of town, driving home from a gig?
He pulled the car over and, leaving his car locked up with his ax inside, went to a gas station as quickly as he could. Sadly, as he returned to his car, he could clearly see that someone had smashed the window.
And put two more accordians in the back seat.
(this joke works with violas, saxophones, bagpipes, etc.)
Woo
What’s the difference between a trumpet player and a savings bond?
A savings bond eventually matures and makes money.
I’ll second that woo.
Also, sadlys, commence with the ecstatic drunk blogging… now!
Whooo!
“Kevin said,
Hello, moonbats! Did I mention that my penis is gigantic? Tee hee.”
Oh dear, are we back to faking other people’s names? I had hoped you guys grew out of that :(. Why use disinformation to sway peoples minds, and not simple reason? We all know the groups famous for that… Thanks for the compliment though!
On behalf of all S,N! drummers, I must tell you all that I resemble that remark.
Dated but still valid trombonist joke:
What do you call a trombonist with a beeper?
An optimist.
To set the record straight, my penis is actually embarrassingly small. But I don’t have to tell you guys that, as the fact is manifest in every single comment I make here. Having a micropenis means never having to say you’re sorry.
q: how do you keep your wallet from being stolen?
a: hide it in an accordion case.
Kevin said,

I’m not a fan of people impersonating me, but suggesting you can determine someone’s penis size from their comments? That’s actually kind of funny :).
Best firefox extension evar.
Was I ever funny or perceptive or witty or relevant?
“suggesting you can determine someone’s penis size from their comments?”
See, the diminutive penis is implied in your comments because you are trying so hard to prove something here; some issue is obviously at stake for you beyond whatever quotidian political points are in play. Je ne sais qua as the French say, but you’re struggling mightily to overcome an inadequacy, and for humor’s sake, I’ve placed that inadequacy squarely in your pants.
No, fake Kevin, I’m not trying to prove anything. I don’t make any effort at all to suggest I’m better than you (with the notable exception that my lame photoshop skills ridiculously beat Gavin’s), and hope you will come to understand that.
I’m just spreading information, my friend, in a (well, an attempted) humorous fashion. Take it. Leave it. It doesn’t really matter to me. I did my job! I only point out some of the silly things you guys say. Like Clif (have you checked the spelling of your name?) suggesting that the great creator of LGF is a bad guy by creating a fake interview.
That you guys buy into this crap is, quite frankly, frightening.
Oh yeah, hippie something or other.
Have to keep up appearances!
Pretty interesting that you guys have become ominously quiet about TNR’s idiocy, reported only two or three postings ago. Are you suggesting your readers that short-memoried? Do you think they don’t realize? Seriously, it’s not a winning strategy to think your readers won’t realize when they’ve been had.
Don’t fall like TNR. Own up! Admit that they were caught in a lie, and that you were foolish for believing them. Admit you were foolish for supporting their lies! I love you hippies like brothers, but this is relatively serious! Please, my hippie friends, back out of this in the normal ‘hippie fleeing from things’ fashion!

Where? You’re sure not spreading any information around here. Mulch, maybe, but bugger all information. And I’ve heard better humour from a three-year-old, so I suggest you do some reading, Kevin. Do some thinking. Learn some stuff. Use logic. That tired old “conservatives are smart, and libruls aren’t” schtick is beyond boring, you know. If you learnt to talk with adults you might get on here better.
Oh yeah: and stop being such a total dickhead.
Ouch :). Freaky how we run the whole world, isn’t it, qetesh? In other news, you should seriously put a ‘u’ in your name. Just sayin’.
Also, maybe take a second out of your life and ridicule TNR for disparaging our troops? Again, just a thought.
This may have been posted already, but it seem fairly new.

Good stuff.
Jesus? The fuck is that? It’s like this.. deafening roar of giggles and chuckles as Republicans are laughed out of the ballet boxes in shame and embarrassment. Man, it’s keeps drowning out various posters in this thread, and I can’t read what they’re saying. I can see Qetesh and D. Brad and a few other, but all these others just blurs. That’s weird.
Three words: Lynx and Lamb. I think Pammy’s kids have a future on the white power circuit. After all, Pam has proven she’s a-okay with Nazis as long as they hate Muslims even more than they hate Jews.
Now we’re going get bombed by neo nazis, Jeff Fecke. Those people are like the loud guy at parties that no one likes, and thinks that any conversation that’s not about them is a waste of time, and they have this uncanny ability to home in on their name, or any mention about them, and take that as a invitation to tell us all about what THEY think about the Perfect Golf Course.
But it IS rather zen, isn’t it? First, the Nazis were the enemy, and the Communists were our ally. Then, the communists were our enemy, and the Arab extremists were our ally. Now, Arab extremists are our enemy, and who’s our ally? The Nazis.
Jesus christ. It’s an Orwellian paradox of mobius proportions. I think I need to go lay down….
But it IS rather zen, isn’t it? First, the Nazis were the enemy, and the Communists were our ally. Then, the communists were our enemy, and the Arab extremists were our ally. Now, Arab extremists are our enemy, and who’s our ally? The Nazis.
Some Guy, that’s some comment: you’ve summed up nicely the (a) historical blindness, (b) capacity for hatin’, and (c) absolute bone-deep stupid on show at Chez Pammy.
I still can’t get my head around the idea that an aggressively Jewish woman could ever ever ever, in any of the infinite possible universes, consider allying with neo-nazis. That’s so like a mouse saying “Yeah, I hang with cats, ‘cos they hate rats, see”. Just the apogee of stupid.
Quite apart from anything else, isn’t she afraid of being laughed at? I wonder what her newest best buddies are saying behind her back. Not to mention the rest of the world.
Who knows, it might even alienate John Bolton. Then she’ll have no ‘tash to ride.
Q: What did the drummer get on his IQ test?
A: Drool.
[…] Read the rest of this great post here […]
The fact is, the so-called “nazis” and people like Charles, Pam and I are all united against Muslims, which does not make any of us Nazis, we are just patriots in defense of the heartland and homeland we love. If the Europeans were more vigilant, they would not have been invaded by the caliphate to the point where they are changing the laws (like in France) to outlaw Christians and Jews. I think we should deport anyone born Muslim and give the others ONE CHANCE to recant if they are to stay. Otherwise, those that live by great curved swords will die by hunger strike, fitting, really.
That’s nice Gary.
Q. What’s the difference between a violin and a viola?
A. Nothing, the violinist’s head is just that much bigger.
I offended a real violinist with that one.
Anybody see Bradrocket? I thought I heard his liver screaming for mercy over the Charles last night, but not sure if it was him.
I think we should deport anyone born Muslim and give the others ONE CHANCE t recant if they are to stay.
Not to run your ethnic cleansing for you, Fake Gary, but shouldn’t we give those who are born Muslim one chance to recant? After all, they never had a choice to begin with. They might even chose to be American, and if not, you can deport them later.
Converts are the ones who have shown themselves to be premeditated members of anon-patriotic faith. But then, I’m an amateur, what do I know?
If the Europeans were more vigilant, they would not have been invaded by the caliphate to the point where they are changing the laws (like in France) to outlaw Christians and Jews.
That sounds pretty serious. Hows about a link or some proof, please?
changing the laws (like in France) to outlaw Christians and Jews.
Furthermore all the UPC codes they affix to infidel foreheads start with sittah sittah sittah.
Evidence would indicate that Pam-ela is utterly impervious to mockery. As she is to logic. And irony.
changing the laws (like in France) to outlaw Christians
Hmm, sounds like the french are onto something here…
