Are you sure? I thought I was a ‘dumb Jesus hick with a tiny dick and a head full of childish super hero fantasies who wants more gun massacres because YeeHaw!’ for wanting to maintain my 2nd amendment rights.
I’m a terrorist for ‘not wanting the debt ceiling raised’ and ‘wanting the size of government to shrink’.
They just call me Outlaw.
I just want to make sure the charges are read correctly before I’m staunchly burned at the political stake. Y’know, optics.
Same here, Sunny.
Palaeo, so you want a fair trial followed by a first class hanging?
I just want to make sure that the kangaroos are all in a row and not hopping about.
Dunno if you created that or found it, but it “toe the line”, not “tow the line”, as in placing your toes at the designated line when you fall into formation. It’s about forcing people to do things in a particular, designated way rather than however they want.
I know, I know…. don’t be that guy, right?
But as Jeff points out so much, language is important and we shouldn’t just go along with corruption of it.
That out of the way, Andrew Breitbart is reading that right now and smiling. Well done with the sentiment!
You’re also a SEXIST HOMOPHOBE because you don’t applaud non-heteronormative anti-patriarchal cis-othered sexuality loudly enough.
“Say my name!”
So for palaeomerus’ comment, the kangaroos would be made to toe the line rather than hopping about in disorganized fashion.
Also, people are reporting shots fired at the Capitol. Off topic… or is it???
It’s true Darth. Mere deadly tolerance is the mark of the most despicable bigots.
I’m no better than a holocaust denier because I question claims of “settled science” that are based on conjectural data modeling.
Cop caught in friendly fire is taken on a stretcher. The woman who rammed her car into the barrier is shot and killed by police. Baby in the backseat spared.
What, no-one has been called a whining faggot just out of the blue by a leftist, or did the list-maker merely forget that one momentarily?
Alec Baldwin doesn’t count. He is a mere credit card travel purchase fake spy.
MSM searching Facebook and Twitter for the Capitol rammer woman’s reich-wing TEA party affiliated hate messages in 5… 4… 3…
Also missing: You fat, stupid bible-thumper!
The FBI is on the case Darth. We’ll get the goods in thirty years or so.
palæomerus, if I didn’t make my own pasta I’d be buying a box of Barilla to cook up with Chick-Fil-A carbonara sauce. Because of the hatiness.
And before VekTor_ can chime in and “not be that guy”, I know “hatiness” isn’t a real word.
Hatesqueraciousness is the proper term.
Darth, I caused a thread to get locked on another board by sticking up for Guido Barilla and his right to say what he thinks and advertise his pasta as he pleases.
Again, I got the “settled law” argument and blew it to smithereens.
“Toeing the line”
Not putting one’s toes on the line someone else drew as the standard.
Though I can see why people think it means tugging on a rope.
Because if it’s worth correcting, it’s worth correcting again and again.
I guessing, Jeff that if your readership is declining, it is because more of us are out doing.
I never believed the GOP would do even this well as far as the budget battle goes. I have to believe it is because we are making some headway.
If that’s a Republican rope, then the default action is “pushing”.
Or “pissing up.”
I find it amusing how much the individuals on the left pride themselves on toeing the party line. It’s almost like the left doesn’t understand irony. Or humor. Although, I do concede the left is probably just stupid, which would also account for the problem with irony and humor.
I think the above truths were written in a much different fashion on a really ancient parchment that is like a hundred years old or so and started something like: “We hold these truths to be self-evident…”
It is pretty funny, Blake. They were the one’s who were going to “fight the power”. Now, they’re The Man.
argh!! extraneous punctuation alert!
Probably think you’re a H8R for practicing a religion that encourages you to make moral judgements
” I never believed the GOP would do even this well as far as the budget battle goes. I have to believe it is because we are making some headway. ”
Yeah, now they can let us down from the seventh floor balcony instead of the first floor window. But it does look like the great fear of the rock has now been moderated by the fear of the hard place. Not that I want the republican base near their voting season to be conflated with Comrade Komissar’s pistol, but for the moment I would say that morale has noticeably improved at the front.
I am bested. I bow to you.
You should bow to nobody, friend. We are OUTLAW!
“We hold these truths to be self-evident…”
Blake, I remarked the other day — with a fair bit of exasperation — that I understood how those words were radical and revolutionary when they were written two centuries ago. I just couldn’t understand why they marked me as a dangerous revolutionary today.
Yes, I’m aware. It was sent to me. Found by someone on facebook.
And as we’re all pretty aware of what was intended there, I’m not going to lose sleep over another’s homophonic mistake.
It’s the thought that counts.
It’s the thought that counts.
Which thought?
‘Cuz I was thinking that people who commit homphonia should be executed forthwith.
Squid, you know the mantra of the Smart-Set™ “Things are different now,” or “things have changed since then.”
Heh, heh. They said homophonics.
I can feel the H8 of homophoners on this site. It’s almost palpable.
Duh. Else, why fight the power?
“Squid, you know the mantra of the Smart-Set™ “Things are different now,” or “things have changed since then.”
Yeah, now we need to look to 1848 as the template. Things haven’t changed since THEN, thank the dialectic progress of history.
1848 was the year classical liberalism died, you know.
palaeomerus, does the dialectic of history ignore the somewhat significant event that happened in the 1860’s? Or does the dialectic somehow explain why there’s been no progress since 1848?
Exactly, Ernst. Power is cool now that the right people have it.
So’s authority, for that matter. You shouldn’t question it; any more than you should trust someone under 60.
“palaeomerus, does the dialectic of history ignore the somewhat significant event that happened in the 1860?s? Or does the dialectic somehow explain why there’s been no progress since 1848? ”
This is the very voice of the false consciousness that shackles the worker’s minds comrades!
The Smart-Set™ practices Smart Power™ and Smart-Diplomacy™
But there’s so many to choose from!
“palaeomerus, does the dialectic of history ignore the somewhat significant event that happened in the 1860?s? ”
You refer of course to the French occupation of Mexico? Or the end of the Opium Wars? Perhaps the Meiji restoration? Tom Cruise was very good in that.
As a self-admitted jingoist, I’ll stick a little closer to der Vaterland. Reich winger that I am.
I thought Winger’s first name was Kip? Nobody tells me anything.
On the other hand, moral judgements made of the basis of political affiliation? That’s called “TOLERANCE!”
Well, palaeomerus, the 1980’s and 1990’s are ancient history, by leftist standards.
Two things I’m stealing today:
“stupid is the new smart” (said in a comment about the President’s latest gaffe)
and “Moral judgments made on the basis of political affiliation are tolerant.”
But 1848 is new and untried and futuristic! Haven’t you heard? We gave capitalism a chance and it failed in 2007 so we need to try something NEW (from 1848) because the world has changed and the old answer don’t work any more.
Yesterday is ancient history when every day is the first day of the new year Zero.
I dunno, palaeomerus, 1848 is more than a hundred years ago. I’m not sure sex was even invented back then. However, there was certainly a lot of God bothering going on.
– Get ready for yet another national WTF event, and any and all possible conspiracy theories coupled with every sort of “truther”, denier”, “conspiracy nut” blah blah blah. Too wit.
– The Capital policies are refusing to identify the woman they shot, who it turns out, was evidently unarmed, unless you count her car as a weapon.
– Karnak at this point predicts another round of Sandy Hook weird.
The answers to all of our problems are in an old mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall’s porch.
Don’t miss this: The Clash of the Crusades over at The American Spectator.
Has nuthin’ to do with the cross. Has everything to do with political legitimacy in the United States of America. That is the ground on which the confrontation is taking place. Thing is though, no-one seems to know how to speak about the dispute in the terms in which the dispute makes a kind of sense: that is in terms of sovereignty, of who will rule, of a crisis of legitimacy of either the consent of the people or of the commands of the ruler(s). (I mean by no-one, obviously, I hope, the talking heads in the national media in general.)
Which will it be? Us, or them? And they know what the stakes are. Do we?

Nr, Pens report?
Pens are up 2zip over NJ, end of 2nd.
sorry i don’t like hockey. it’s basketball with skates and a goalie
Yessss. Stillers have been such a disappointment, I am feeling like an Iggles fan this week.
sdferr, I answered your question about the crime scene on the other thread. The DC Metro chief said the final crime scene was at Maryland Ave and 15th.
Hockey is the awesome. I had friends in California in the 80s who used to trade hockey fight tapes.
Thanks leigh. Yeah, though not 15th (that was where it started out next to Treasury). I used geoffb’s cnn link with pics to figure out the final disposition of the car, on a traffic island in the middle of Const./Maryland, just north of the SCOTUS, west of 2nd NE.
Ah, sorry. They kept shouting questions and street names. I’m glad you were able to figure it out though I had no doubt you would!
“sorry i don’t like hockey”
to revise and extend: i don’t like watching “back and forth” games like hockey, soccer, basketball, etc whereas games like football/baseball with set ball possession i find interesting to watch.
I getcha. I can’t stand basketball and soccer, either.
leigh sold the troy hill house today some before (top page) and after (bottom page)
link
Congrats! It came out great. Where are you going now? Other side of the river?
it was a rental haven’t lived there in 12 yrs. i’m east of the city these days.
That’s a relief. I read the KDKA feed everyday since my son lives in Mt. Lebanon and there is always something tragic going on in Troy Hill.
Stay out of East Liberty and the Hill District so we don’t have to worry about you getting killed while driving to your next project.
>Stay out of East Liberty<
proggtards running the show are pushing "diversity/vibrancy" out of there.
Caps climb back from 3zip down in the first to a 5-4 win in SO. Nice, if shaky.
proggtards running the show are pushing “diversity/vibrancy” out of there.
Meh. They can move out there then and send their kids to the crappy schools and be afraid to go out at night or find their houses robbed when they come home from work.
Any neighborhood where most of the houses have bedsheets for curtains, weedy dirt yards and roaming dogs is one to stay far away from.
Pens 3 Devil 0
Good job, Marc-Andre Fleury!
>Any neighborhood where most of the houses have bedsheets for curtains,<
shadyside/cmu,pitt,big edu&health need more space. the projects are gone.
>send their kids to the crappy schools <
the proggtards closed and demolished rezinestein ps for housing
All those neighborhoods cost too much to rent and they were originally cheap student housing until the faculty started buying them and gentrifying.
It’s kind of hilarious that Squirrel Hill is right next door to Shadyside that has a ton of faculty who are major anti-Semites.*
*Those not from the Burgh, Squirrel Hill is home to a huge population of Hassidic Jews.
More like a bunch of time-wasting figure skaters more often than not…
Being at home in the holy-land is being at home surrounded by the Muslims who know how to hate, so in that sense, you merely have in Pittsburgh a kind of recapitulation of the modern Middle-eastern circumstance, leigh. Though being at home anywhere in the world has forever been fraught with this condition, so it’s not like it’s new even there.
> until the faculty started buying them and gentrifying.<
it is the big edu bubble. the med students are paying big bucks to finally land in O!care where their loans are forgiven for doing the fed gov't bidding
big edu is proggtard clowen-piven
It’s still jarring to hear some of the things people say about the Hassids in America, though.
Speaking of label’s, California can no longer use “undocumented immigrants” to describe the illegal ones. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
Extra-legal immigrants?
“Citizens we haven’t naturalized yet.”
Calling them “undocumented immigrants” is like calling a drug dealer an “undocumented pharmacist”.
But I can play along… me and my undocumented assault weaponry (what wasn’t lost overboard in that freak undocumented canoeing accident I had, I mean).
Thing is Drumwaster, they ARE going to be documented now. They will be in the DMV computers with thumbprints and signatures.
Think about it too long and it’ll drive you (PTP) mad. It’s more like providing drug dealers prescription pads. We are no longer a nation of laws. We are a patronage nation.
