This Site Will Never Be
A reader writes: Do you think Patterico has written enough about your having had the audacity — shallow, uncritical, anti-intellectual lefty-hating GOP cheerleader and overemotional failed academic that you are — to suggest that his calling Barack Obama a ‘good man’ was rather an unfriendly slight on ‘good’? Yes. But sadly. that doesn’t mean he’ll ever stop. 321 Comments ::: Post a comment »RSS feed for comments on this post.

Oh. And Karl? If you’re going to start taking shots at me, have ball enough to do it here.
Listen: if those interested in becoming the new pundit class want to freeze me out from their linkfests, fine. Incest doesn’t appeal to me anyway.
But I will say what I feel. And, given the nature of this medium, I will often vent here, as is my wont.
The best thing about being a blogger — not a pro pundit or a journalist — is that I don’t have to pretend to be something I’m not, nor do I have to shade my language so as not to unnecessarily ruffle the feathers of the moderate middle.
If that means no more linky from sites who wish to replace the old media with a cyber-replica, I don’t much fucking care.
This is the home of the outlaw. And yeah, I’ll be self-effacing and ironize that from time to time, but on a very real level I mean it.
I don’t care about horse race politics. That was Karl’s thing. I care about ideas — and I laugh at those who are trying to frame my criticism of Patterico as that of an unthinking partisan cheerleader to Pat’s wise and moderate thinker.
Michele Catalano lecturing that right-wingers who don’t believe Obama is good have become what they despise?
Whatever. Precisely the kind of moral equivalence that rots our system.
But as long as PJM is buying the columns, though, keep churning ‘em out.

You have to admit that O!’s a “good” snake oil salesman.

Patterico might not forgive the slight on his honor, I suppose. All too soon, O will provide all the correction for that issue of misplaced generosity, that P. will ever require.

I doubt Patterico will feel the same way after he posts Now they tell us(XCIX).
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/9 @ 9:04 pm #
Okay, I just skimmed things over there.
It looks like Patterico’s claim that Obama is a “good man” is primarily based on what he’s said, not so much on what he’s done.
The Constitution of the Soviet Union said all sorts of lovely things, too.

I wonder if Mr. Patterico will be taking part: Plans are being made to promote a national holiday for Barack Obama, who will become the nation’s 44th president when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20.
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 9:15 pm #
Baracky is not very compromisey they’ll find I think and appeasement is such an ugly word.

I think that’s overly dramatic, and I think you overestimate your place in the cavalcade of shit Patterico is taking for his proclamation. But SEK can take a big wet suck on my ass. How fucking tiresome can one person be?

Maybe Patterico needs some Extreme negative feedback.
Comment by Patterico on 11/9 @ 10:03 pm #
My problem was never that you wanted to argue that Obama isn’t good. It’s that you *insisted* on questioning my integrity in doing so.
Now SEK is over there questioning your motives the same way you questioned mine. I don’t think he’s right about that either.
I guess we’ll see if your prediction is true that I will “never” stop posting about your “audacity.” Somehow I think that’s an overstatement. Because, you know, WORDS MEAN THINGS!!!
I’ll certainly be more skeptical of your posts in the future where you claim to divine the intentions of others, knowing as I do that you misjudged mine. But 1) I think I’ll get over it, your doubts notwithstanding, and 2) I still think you’re a brilliant writer.
Comment by keith taylor on 11/9 @ 10:06 pm #
Jeff: I like you. I love your site. Stop fighting this war. We know, and Patterico knows what President-elect Obama is. Don’t stop fighting. I don’t think Patterico will either.

I think that’s where you’re wrong, Pat. I think that’s exactly the estimation of the situation that you’re seeing. But if the argument about your statement is going to devolve into one about your overall virtue or lack thereof, it’s going to hinge on the statement at hand, which is pointless.
I don’t think that really helps anyone. After all, we’ve just elected a Marxist president. We probably ought to focus on that.

The word ‘good’ just doesn’t leave my tongue with a good feeling, if that tongue tries to use it in the same sentence with BHO. It just doesn’t fit so well with the Baracky I think I know.
Maybe others know a different one.
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/9 @ 10:35 pm #
I think the post was principled, if pragmatism and a desire to do something politically is a principle. It’s just a bad principle, and one that I don’t believe Patrick generally follows.
That was the point.
As for SEK, he just likes to hear himself talk, and he’ll have better luck over there than he will here.
Comment by The Sanity Inspector on 11/9 @ 10:36 pm #
Seems to me that Patterico was just trying to be gallant to the winning O-pponent. That evening called for it. There’s no need to fear that he’ll go soft on Obama once the Messiah’s program rolls out.

Wow. SEK saying I wrote that post in order to start a blog spat and get traffic is just too rich. That guy’s entire blog is predicated on such traffic; me, I just reacted to reading the post after someone mentioned it in a comment. The idea that I want PARTY PURITY is also astounding — particularly when I don’t care about any party, and all I really want is intellectual coherence and a bit of respect for the founding principles and documents of this country.
Nishi is over there saying I have no balls. Karl is taking shots at me. There’s probably a lesson in there for me somewhere.
If more people want to read Patterico — and plenty of people have fled me for his site — more power to ‘em. That I have even a few traditional conservatives who read here still amazes me, given my propensity to talk back and use dirty words.
Start a blog feud for traffic, though? Give me a break. That’s the gayest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

My wife commented recently how she’s so proud that I don’t let this stuff get to me like I used to.
She was right. I want to do what I can to educate, but dealing with most of the trolls doesn’t further that. Occasionally, when they speak on topic, they create an opportunity for me to launch into a point I’d like to drive home.
Too much of the time, though, it’s personal — and I just can’t ever imagine spending my days going to sites that other people write and pissing on them as a kind of hobby. I mean, don’t these people know how to download porn?

JeffG
I’m almost a full traditional conservative (ie classic liberal) and while I read you both, I love this place and your writing because, dammit man, you make me think AND laugh.
Pat writes very well, but he can’t help reining in any shocking irrelevancy or risk … it’s that lawyer thing.
IMHO that’s where the “Obama is a good man” thing popped up. He is willing to make such a pronoucement as “good form” even over all indications to the contrary, and may only later realize that all his disclaimers of being foresquare against any Obama policy he thinks wrong, that all will not count as only his “Obama is a good man” line will be remembered and repeated by BarryO! cultists.
Pat is a man of good intentions but we all know the road is paved ….
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/9 @ 11:17 pm #
For instance, “accurate pollster” is doubtless an old troll with a new name. What purpose does he serve? None that I can think of.
I mean, I already noted that I’d be self-effacing about the OUTLAW thing, and I have: of course it’s corny. But it’s also useful. Whereas ap’s comments? Not so much.
So away they go.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/9 @ 11:17 pm #

Yes. The lesson is that you can judge a man’s character by his enemies.

Presidents day was bad enough. Shoving together the birthdays of two of our greatest Presidents into one all purpose government union 3 day weekend excuse.
Now the want to add Obama. A man who hasn’t done anything except be “present”. A Zelig who has thugged his way to the threshold of the highest office on Earth to be celebrated with Lincoln and Washington.
His narcissism is exceeding all bounds and it hasn’t been one week since the election yet.

I cannot, for the life of me call up the effort call the President Elect a good man, he is most certainly an opportunist. A man who will use anyone or anything at his disposal for advancement. Driving ambition, but for what? By his own words, he has called himself a blank slate, an empty rhetorical spouting suit.
For 8 years conservatives and republicans have endured some nasty hate and bilge spewed at them. They have been targeted for destruction, and all the while, the repubs and the conservs have withstood it with class and wit, trying to deflect it with the tired old defense of civility. But instead, we were dealt a crushing defeat. Patterico has once again picked up the “civility” defense, while Jeff has decided that it doesn’t work. And that is why they squabble, and while the squabble will continue through the GOP. Some want to indulge their pent up anger just a bit, but others know if we do, the finger wagging will continue.
We fight a losing game with a Press that has already picked sides.
Comment by bmeuppls on 11/9 @ 11:20 pm #
I am a conservative. I post here. And at Pat and JOM and Ace and others. Each has overlap. I see posters I recognize on those sites that I see here. The important thing is that we are all interconnected in the meta-sense. That is the conservative fabric that is being woven on the webs. Each site is a piece of the quilt and the commenters (the sane ones anyway) are the stitches that bind the whole into the tent of the conservative movement.
I think that with that hopey-changey-barftastic analogy, I threw up a little in my mouth, but you know what I mean.

“Pat writes very well, but he can’t help reining in any shocking irrelevancy or risk … it’s that lawyer thing.”
Well, avoidance of risk is to some extent a “having bosses” thing. I don’t say anything I think is untrue, but there are stories I don’t tell and things I don’t say because I have the image of my office to think about — however much I try to separate the two.
It hasn’t kept me from calling Retardo Montalban a “pussy” at Sadly No . . . but it has reined me in to a certain extent.
Also, I will admit that Jeff is naturally far funnier than I am. I don’t take that as an insult, as he’s naturally far funnier than most people. Anyone who flees his blog for mine is a fool.

Not quite. The only reason I ever squabbled with Jeff is because he said that I was acting in an unprincipled and dishonest manner. I don’t feel the need to “squabble” with people who disagree with me, as long as they don’t attack me personally.
But I’ll get over it. Jeff says in his post here that I won’t, but I will.

Let us hope that both of you do, because you and Jeff serve as good examples to the conservative viewership. We don’t need an echo chamber like DKOS but we do need rationed, logical and intelligent men and women on the right to inspire and move us all past this period.
I read both yours and Jeff’s blog, personally I’m taking Jeff’s side on this issue here, but I will not impugn your character, I just think you’re being a bit naive. :)

I accept it regarding the promise of confidentiality, which I suspected might be the case even before they said so.

Comment by Christoph on 11/9 @ 11:35 pm #
Keith Taylor, you’re diametrically wrong.
I and others life Jeff G. have one picture of Barack Obama and in my case at least, it is of an evil man (pro-infantide and partial birth abortion = evil in my eyes, and Jeff G. has other issues that he may rate rate higher in importance, which Obama also fails).
Patterico sees Barack Obama as basically decent. I think he’s a liar, a political thug, a megalomaniac, and if he’s not checked, has the potential to become a leftist totalitarian dictator.
Admittedly he may never. But in the meantime he will still increase the amount of children killed in the United States and weighted against this, during a political campaign when Obama couldn’t afford to get on the bad side of voters he said some half-decent things, which for the most part coincided with his goal of becoming President anyway.
Clearly I’m wrong, Patterico is wrong, or it’s somewhere in the middle (although in the middle between what I say and what Patterico says would still be a fairly bad man).
Kevin, anyway, it’s nonsense to say “we” AND Patterico know what Obama is. Someone somewhere here doesn’t.

Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 11:39 pm #
The appearances and strategerizing parts of the argument have fallen away. The people are watching parts. Those were interesting and important and puzzling. Does it really work like that I wonder. The idea that how we disagree with our new president person is key seems predicated on a premise that what is happening is normal, just a turn of the wheel of democracy as we’ve always known it. But it’s not at all normal what we’re seeing. It just isn’t.

I don’t know if you’re being dishonest. I doubt it. It’s possible that you might be doing some self-preservation if the Obama regime and its supporters are anywhere as nasty as some people think they are, but I tend to think you’re not lying.
However, I do believe you lack integrity in this case because one day you’re telling us Obama will bring back the horror of partial-birth abortion (stabbing skull, sucking out brains, etc., your descriptions) and the next day you’re telling us he’s basically decent because of some things he said.
If one of the definitions of integrity is:
… then I think you completely fail this test on this really important issue. It was, after all, your last argument about why people should vote against Obama.

As Pat said on his own site,
Now, considering I also have ten years in at a DA office (NOT as a lawyer) and am now in Probation Dept, my perspective is a bit different. I see the graduations of morality/immorality and don’t view it was a strict good/bad dichotomy. Obama may no be as “evil” or “bad” as some guy who has murdered his girlfriend, but he has done or allowed to be done, things that are unethical, immoral and questionably criminal in his name.
All sin isn’t the same, anymore than all crime. Obama may still be in misdemeanor land..flirting with felonies … but that doesn’t make him innocent.
I have seen little indication that he is “evil” (which is a conscious effort to do evil things and know that they are evil things) but I still think his moral bank account is fully in the red.
He may redeem himself, I fear he will not.
Time to plant those Victory Gardens, friends, and learn to barter. There is a storm on the horizon and it doesn’t look pretty.

I have the odd feeling JeffG took something I said in not the wry and dry way I meant it. My fault if so.
You might mistake my meaning too, Patterico. I take at face value you are not consciously acting against principle.
But I think JeffG is right at the same time. I think you might not really know yourself here. He thinks you too wise to be taken in. I think I do too, at least on some level.
Is it practical, is it wise, to allow Obama “good”? I don’t know. But I won’t do it.
Comment by Christoph on 11/9 @ 11:56 pm #
Well, Darleen, it was Patterico who used the partial-birth stabbing skull with scissors / sucking out brains / “horror” example. That post made an impact on me. I referred people to it and thought it was eloquent and entirely correct.
On the other hand, Patterico pointed out to some decent things Obama had said, and I’m sure no one doubts he must have done some decent things in his life. Most people have, even vicious criminals.
At best that seems to me to indicate the “jury is out” on Obama. I think Patterico concluding he’s basically a nice/decent/good man is ridiculous. And lacking integrity.

Christoph, I can never address your abortion arguments without derailing a thread completely. But a principled person can accept that D&E is a necessary procedure in some instances, and take great issue with your characterization of any contrary view to your own about that issue as evil. That’s not why Obama is bad.

SarahW, it was Patterico who described it as a horror. I find it hard to believe someone who brings about a horror is “good”.
“But a principled person can accept that D&E [and/or partial-birth abortion - ed] is a necessary procedure in some instances…”
Maybe, SarawW., a “principled” person can, but a good person simply cannot under the majority of circumstances where it is in fact used.
Plus, remember, Patterico called this a horror.

Here, and now, the argument is fruitless, and a waste of time. We can speculate on what BHO is capable of doing, throw in our ‘worst fears’ or our ‘high hopes’ but nothing but time will tell the tale.
Personally I surmise there’s a strong probability of extra-large negatives. We should be prepared for the worst, and feel relief if BHO turns out to be as innocuous as Eisenhower.
But, in these charged times, with so many powder kegs laying about, it’s Boy Scout motto time: Be Prepared. (I would say give him enough rope to hang himself, but that might be RACIST!!11!!! )

Christoph, frankly, I don’t think you have any informed notion of when that procedure is “generally” used. And, BTW, it is almost never used, certainly not the way you describe it. You could do with an education.
You know, a discussion by email would be acceptable to me. I don’t have desire to inflict an abortion fight on other people when they are talking about something else.

SarahW, this is entirely relevant to the discussion of whether Patterico’s conclusion about Barack Obama being a decent man is correct, and whether Patterico is showing integrity by calling the man who would bring back such “horror” decent and good.
As far as usage of partial-birth abortion, I will go with the source himself, the relevant November 2nd, 2008, Patterico post:
Even if (you’re not) you are right, you’re arguing against the information Patterico himself says he believes, in bold type no less.
EPIC FAIL.

I mistyped Patterico’s excerpt, so I will retype it because it’s critical for an understanding of the last post:
So Patterico is saying are dead wrong when you write this:
If anyone can do with an education on the subject, it is yourself.
Getting back to the point of this thread, I’ve said my piece. Patterico believes Obama is decent and I and others think it’s ludicrous. I don’t believe he’s a liar, but I do think Patterico lacks integrity in this instance for the reason I’ve expressed.
Comment by geoffb on 11/10 @ 12:29 am #
I see the blogging Right as “organized” on a Federalist model. All try to do what they can in whatever fashion seems to be best to them.
Disagreements happen and are argued out, mostly in civil and logical ways, and in the end no one has to do any others bidding and can go their own way or not. The best or correct way will work best and by example win the argument.
On the Left, from personal experience long ago, and from the actions of recent decades, consensus building always flows from the top down. The elite decide how things should be done, seen, thought or talked about and over night that is the consensus.
The internet linking patterns showed this difference. On the Right links flowed both up to the main sites and out from those to the smaller less traveled ones.
On the Left the linking goes up to the big sites but very little linking goes down to the smaller sites.

If your argument is that Patterico is hoisted on his own petard by his previous posts on a method of carrying out induced abortion, that’s different that the one I was having with you. (So I’ll stop having my discussion with you, unless you want to take it private).
Patterico may well believe that O may be mistaken about his position, but acted in good faith. I dare not speak for Patterico.

LauraW,
Since you publicly made the insulting remark I could, “You could do with an education,” and also stated that I’m uninformed on the subject, and I’ve now proven I got my facts on this subject from Patterico, then can you at least publicly:
1. apologize and admit you are wrong
2. acknowledge that while you believe you’re right, Patterico is wrong
… just for the sake of intellectual honesty. I’d like to see it from you. I’m not saying you don’t have it, but just dropping the discussion after your public insult without doing one or the other would be intellectually honest.

SarahW, you’re displaying intellectual dishonesty if not cowardice. You made a false statement publicly and you did not have to do so. You called me ignorant and said I needed an education, when you were wrong as Patterico’s post itself, its reference, and numerous other sources would demonstrate. It would be a simple matter to choose 1 or 2 above and it would not go on ad infinitum.
However, you prefer to leave your insult and false statement on a critical matter of life and death (a “horror”) uncorrected. I had to challenge you on this in public so other people were not mislead by your ignorance.

Mostly because as much as I might agree with SarahW on other issues, life and death of innocent unborn children is too important to let a blatant falsehood stand unchallenged in the public realm. Well-meaning people could be swayed in a way they wouldn’t otherwise — nor wouldn’t even want to be — if they knew the truth.

Comment by Christoph on 11/10 @ 1:56 am #
She also insulted me based on a falsehood and refused to either back up her position, nor apologize and retract it after I provided evidence to the contrary (provided helpfully enough by Patterico).
Under the circumstances, she didn’t deserve a great deal of courtesy from yours truly. Further, even if she did, accurate information re: life and death of unborn children (partial birth abortion) provided to others here so they can make an informed decision is more important than anyone’s potential hurt feelings.
Abortion discussions rarely make friends. Read Patterico’s post. It’s extremely graphic and offensive to supporters of abortion, and minimizers, and apologists.
Meh.

Dudes. “Meaningful discourse.” Look into it.
I’ve read PW for quite a while now, as well as Patterico. Definitely different tone, different approach, different culture. Same general motivation and goals, though. Both quality sites in every respect. Patterico you have to read with a cup of coffee and a clear head. PW you’ve got to read with a shot of good rum and a chase of a decent import, not to mention a thesaurus.
Although, I do rather miss the red pills and the armadillo, but they’re probably so, you know, “Bush Era.”

But I really don’t think so. Patterico should link to Jeff G.’s alleged reaction to psycho’s comment (wherever that is: I haven’t found it yet), because that’s just a strange thing for Patterico to say.

I’m afraid that his concern has to do with his new Commander in Chief.
I’m not terribly interested in debating whether Obama is a good man.

I was listening to AFN on election day, and there was a news snippet about how there were a big group of GI’s over in Iraq watching the election returns in the rec hall, and when it was announced that Obama was the winner…there was nothing but silence.
I’m assuming a stunned silence. These are the people who are living and dying over there, who see day to day the difference we are making, can see how far the Iraqi people have come, and are now faced with a CINC who wants rip them untimely away, possibly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Carin, the best hope is that there are enough vets in Congress these days with some common sense that the funding won’t dry up overnight. Fingers crossed.

It is not true that the electorate didn’t know about AYERS! McCain/Palin brought it up at every rally, McCain made commercials, the 527s made commercials….

You have great ideas, and you write brilliantly and persuasively…..use your SuperAwesome SuperPowers for good.
Help rebuild your party if you believe in it.
For Krom’s sake write stuff that people can link to.
Use language, don’t fight it.
Deconstructing the loss is only helpful insofar as it brings an understanding of how to win.
You have bigger problems than elite media bias and the true “signalling” of Obama’s and Ayers’ books.
In 2020 caucasian becomes a minority.
The GOP has lost a generation of youth.
Ruffini is trying to get young hip conservatives to help win back young voters. You ARE young and hip.
The Pomocons are hammering out the new meaning of conservatism, what does it mean to be a conservative in the 21st century?

Is this a Russian site now? Do you even realize how your misplaced arrogance makes you look? Of course not. Seeing as Russian is the language of those who accept their spoon fed info and look down on others who cherish their freedom. You think you’re better than non-Russians because of the Motherland’s rich history. Fuck your rich history. You laid down for the military and then you came to this country. Now start screaming indignantly immigrant. It’s what you do. Just look at yourself. You come to PW and start typing in Russian and then scold others for not knowing Russian. This is America Jack! When you know English well enough to not look like an idiot, then maybe you can graduate to lecturing folks on the proper verbs and conjunctions in the language of runaways.
You got chased from a Russian site didn’t you?

Being over there and seeing stuff like that go on really lowered my respect for alot of women sorry. We had one guy call home and some random dude just answered the phone and then handed it to her. It was 3AM here when he called. So I saw this guys face while he was on the phone just crumple. So this guy was in a war zone sending money home to pay for her to live and she was repaying him by cheating on him. Freakin whore.

She found someone else. Message to men, the QUALITY of the woman you choose matters. I never cared for her. Spoiled rich kid. And, that letter was merely the final proof that she was a bitch. He was due home just after Christmas, and her new boyfriend wanted to take her away on Holiday. She certainly could go w/o dropping the bomb on him. A woman with any character would have sucked it up at least a few months until he got home. But, that’s not the way spoiled children act.

If there is a more concrete example that [premier educations and IQ points do not necessarily translate into common sense political leadership then, at the very least, kate can take her place with Chris Buckley, Turner, Noonan, Will and Brooks as the effete nose sniffing blue bloods who think that style is as important as substance.

Hi new guy! The best advice I can give you is, deal with it as best you can. Unfortunately there is no Wiki type resource here. Not that there ever could be, a state of flux being what it is. You will likely find multiple narrative arcs within any given thread, and a lot of recurrent themes, memes, and the assorted paradigm shift. There are regulars, irregulars, guest posters, former guest posters, trolls, former trolls, and some truly unsavory types to be found here.

How desperate for human attention do you have to be to try to force your way around people ignoring you?

I’m the steam to your stain.
Comment by Rob Crawford on 11/10 @ 10:41 am #
Pretty damned desperate, I guess.

Or, per you chosen descriptor, how desperate do you have to be to cover your eyes, ears and mouth like them three monkeys? To throw punches in the air at phantoms inspired by mob phantasia?

The truth is the government will have to exert control over the banks to force their intended investments to work for the people. The banks are afloat on the people’s money, after all.
First thing the gov’t should do is set a national cap in credit card interest rates and force the banks to write off all the bad consumer debt and forgo the legal warfare against the same citizens who they are indebted to. The miscalculating bastards owe us, and not the other way around.

Yep. Pretty damned desperate.
Seriously, thor, head to a strip club. Tip them enough and they’ll ignore your hygiene.

Hmmm, gave you some ideas to think about and all you come up with is insults.”
dave, you wouldn’t recognize an idea if it came up and bit you on your shriveled little scrotum.

I see thor got his dumb ass banned again.
Thief.

Insults dave? It is demonstrative, is it not, that you can’t distinguish a normative description from an insult? But that is what you do so reassuringly, after all. Carry on. Maybe think about carrying on somewhere else though, as I’m sure you are aware that the site host doesn’t want you here and has stated as much many times. So to the descriptor moron, we might begin justly adding, trespasser. Thus we’ll have you, dave the moronic trespasser. How’s that?

Tear Down That Wall!
Then what are you going to bang your thick head against?

Even when dataless dave ignores it. Welcome to thor’s Wide World of Wisdom, dataless.

Are cries of “go away, it’s our treehouse!” all you can come up with?
Something inspirational about a particular someone driven to madness. That grimey someone feels himself quite above everyone else, for it fills the void of lack of control in his empty incomplete life. He really gets emotional on what isn’t even his territory. He’s the waxy buttcheese, the stray pube, the greasy weasel dropping, the tucked tail attached to a stinking rump, the contorted face of the snaggle-toothed hayseed.

You know, I’ve been giving you a break, sashal, for pretending to use English. No more.

Don’t bother, thor, you wouldn’t be able to understand it.

Better you stick to reading Car and Driver and Sherlock Holmes.

Well thor, realizing your problem is the first step to solving it. Congratulations!

Amazing how many Obamatons are bigots.

Much of it is what I’ve been saying, sans the evil-Socialist hyperbole.
Comment by JHoward on 11/10 @ 3:40 pm #
Don’t have kids, thorputz. Aside from the benefits accruing in dependent tax savings and a cleaner gene pool, much of what you’ve been saying, if discovered one day on these pages, would inflict upon any passing thorputz progeny an irrecoverable depression. Yeah, seriously.
So imagine, dreamer: You can kiss my ass for the children.

Hey, c’mon guys! I think Obama Day is a fine idea. It should be celebrated on April 1st..
Comment by Swen Swenson on 11/11 @ 4:44 am #
Jeff, a good example? Heheh. I think he’s a great example, but then I’m not conservative, too much of an iconoclast.
Comment by Rusty on 11/11 @ 5:59 am #
Why is it that when somebody says ‘Obama Day’ I picture ‘Monkey Bone’?
I denounce myself in the harshest possible way.
Comment by Pablo Abu Jamal on 11/11 @ 7:32 am #
And again on April 15th.
