Collins Develops New PW Segment [Dan Collins]

The “Worst Person in the World”! Every day, I will choose the person who is most harmful to humanity at large, as determined by how much that person bothers me, which is the best index available.

Today’s Worst Person in the World is my wife, Mary, who wouldn’t go buy me another six-pack of beer. But only because semanticleo didn’t hang around for long.

  1. dre says:

    Mary that’s a harmful name because it sounds CHRISTIANIST.

  2. Dan Collins says:

    Also, rearrange the letters and it spells ARMY.

  3. happyfeet says:

    Who I don’t like is that Baracky Obama. I’m tired of how sneery he always is about everything and his goofy overbite and his stupid ears and also he talks talks talks good God does he ever stop talking. And it’s always him whining and bitching and moaning about extraneous shit. And he’s perpetually defensive. It’s really off-putting. And he’s always looking so proud of his dumb self that he remembered his lines or read them right. Preening. No I would not like to have a beer with him. Christ what kind of gay idea is that.

  4. Dan Collins says:

    Okay, but it would be kinda fun to do a little blow with him, right . . . if he were buying? Because I’d like to see the expression he’d make if someone tried to ask him a question in the middle of snorting a line.

  5. psycho... says:

    One of the posters for Bamboozled looked like a cartoon Al Jolson startled in the middle of snorting a line off a watermelon.

    This is entirely off-topic.

  6. SarahW says:

    That reminds me the pub comments are still farked.

  7. Dan Collins says:

    Let me email Pixy Misu.

  8. JD says:

    Can we put Olbermandoucheous in the Hall of Infamy? It is safe to assume that on any given day, he is a leading contender for this.

  9. Alec Leamas says:

    Hmmm . . . I blame the A-rabs who killed our boys, for killing our boys.

    Also, Olberman’s cartoonish smugness. Our enemies feed on his cartoonish smugness.

  10. Pablo says:

    Navin R. Johnson, random bastard.

  11. SarahW says:

    I think it’s my foot doctor who looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears when I most certainly did not. Long story.

  12. nishizonoshinji says:

    But I am the worst person in the world!
    Here, let me prove it, by rubbin your noses in this.

    /wicked grin

  13. nishizonoshinji says:

    i cant comment on Aldo’s pub entry, but this is the true reason my demographic will vote for Obama–
    conservatism is irrelevent to us.
    It’s deader than the dinosaurs.

    hey, cultural evolution in action.
    memes are as competitive as genes….conservo memetics just dont make the fitness gradient anymore.

  14. happyfeet says:

    You haven’t birthed no babies yet though.

  15. The Lost Dog says:

    Olberman is the biggest ashole I have EVER seen on TV. No wonder PMSNBC has only three hundred viewers. This idiot calls himself a Journalist?

    I can’t find it on Google, but I know that there exists a picture of Olberman giving a blow job to O’Ba’Messiah. How could anyone, in good conscience, give his raving douchebag a job as a “newsman”?

    As Rush says: “On the left, failure is applauded, and is rewarded with another step up the ladder”.

    Olberman is proof positive.

    How true.

  16. B Moe says:

    I fucking hate that B Moe dude. Goddamn foul-mouthed uneducated know-it-all pretentious fucking prick. Fuck that sonuvabitch.

  17. cjd says:

    Dan, way sorta OT, but I’m coming up to VT in late June to get my MA from Norwich. Beer?

  18. Sean M. says:

    Anybody else notice that there hasn’t been much Gleens around here lately? Did he finally shut up or quit being such a douche or something?

  19. B Moe says:

    You know what I just realized? We need to have a Charity Throw Down for the troops. Left vs. Right, no holds barred. I want Tbogg or one of them other sonsabitches to call me a fucking chickenhawk to my face in front of a crowd.

    What? You think I am kidding?

  20. Alec Leamas says:

    “But I am the worst person in the world!
    Here, let me prove it, by rubbin your noses in this.

    /wicked grin”

    Oh yes, someone committed a bad idea to print. How awful for us.

    nishowhatever – first, become gainfully employed, and then your conservatism will increase by no less than 672% overnight.

  21. Sean M. says:

    I guess it’s a good thing we have the New Yorker to tell us that the conservative movement is dead. What, was the staff over at the Nation busy with something else?

  22. Dan Collins says:

    cjd–
    Yeah, absolutely.

  23. N. O'Brain says:

    OLberman is a prick.

  24. Rusty says:

    “Worst Person in the World”!

    Jimmy Carter………………………………………………………………………………………..and that ‘Carrot Top’ asshole.

  25. Carin- says:

    Ooh, missed a new segment. Worst person in the world. Seems a bit superlative, but I’l play along. Monica Conyers. Or is that too local?

  26. datadave says:

    hey, pssst. there’s always another fellow Vermonter to take the heat off of cohabitant, Mary. But besides me…. and less local how about Geraldine Ferraro who’s on NBC defending the “Monster”. Eh, just to further my bonafides I add a post about the Clinton doner trying to bribe SuperDelegates…http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/19/superdelegates-turned-dow_n_102450.html

    I think I gotcha a weeks worth of worstests in that click esp. Warren Buffet endorseing Obama!!!

    got a lawn to mow? that might be worth a beer run?

  27. nishizonoshinji says:

    I guess it’s a good thing we have the New Yorker to tell us that the conservative movement is dead

    perhaps not dead, but sick and dying. the corpse will twitch a while yet is all.
    anyways, every one from Noonan to Gingrich is saying it.
    you gots nothing.

  28. datadave says:

    gulp, I think I am losing this one…..maybe next week I can be worster.

  29. JD says:

    Yes, we rely on Left liberal rags to tell us how we are feeling, nishit.

  30. JD says:

    I watched Olbermandoucheous last night, so I am a little testy today.

  31. Rob Crawford says:

    If conservatism is “out of ideas” and thus “dead”, liberalism died before I was born.

  32. Rob Crawford says:

    you gots nothing.

    We still have the English language, you ignorant cunt.

  33. Slartibartfast says:

    The Republican Party is dead or dying. Conservatism hain’t hardly been seen in politics for about a decade.

    Packer erroneously opens his article with Nixon, who is no more conservative than my mother is. Packer also mistakenly conflates conservatism with the GOP, which is an even bigger mistake than conflating liberalism with Democrats.

  34. JD says:

    nishit – Go read some Russell Kirk, or educate yourself, for even a brief moment, as to what a Conservative is.

  35. Rob Crawford says:

    Ya know, it’s quite amusing that two of the idiots frequenting this site use variations of “conservative” as general-purpose epithets, yet clearly have no freaking idea what they’re talking about. Nishidiot has her “theocons” and sashal has his “neocons”.

  36. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    “Diocons”: followers of the political philosophy expressed in late-period Black Sabbath songs (also known as the “suck period”).
    “Leocons”: who take Leo “The Lip” Durocher as their guiding spirit.
    “Geocons”: emphasis on globalization.

  37. Rob Crawford says:

    Hmmm… I thought “geocons” were the folks who refused to use GPS systems with voice synthesizers.

  38. N. O'Brain says:

    “# Comment by Rob Crawford on 5/20 @ 6:36 am #

    If conservatism is “out of ideas” and thus “dead”, liberalism died before I was born.”

    Even worse, liberalism is a stinking, rotting zombie corpse of a political ideology, one that doesn’t even realize it’s dead.

  39. Matt, Esq. says:

    I thought Leocons were one of the 12 people who actually saw Dicrapio’s global warming movie.

  40. Carin -BONC says:

    You know, I always thought those GPS things were stupid, until I moved and now have no idea where anyplace is. What I wouldn’t have given for a GPS yesterday.

    But, in my lost wanderings, I did find a historic Octagon house.

  41. nishizonoshinji says:

    OKfine Slart, I’ll agree with that.
    The Republican party is dying. The Derb says “back to the catacombs!”
    But I told him I think the Right is gonna be gulagged for 20 years at least.
    Thing is, how does the Right re-invent or re-brand itself over the next couple decades?

    Almost all the memetic propagaters and disseminators of contemporary culture belong to the Left now– science and technology, academe, traditional media, the judiciary, both houses of congress, the arts, and soon the presidency.
    All the Right has anymore is talkradio and half the blogverse.

    Like tryin to re-brand with no voice, being reduced to sign language and guestural protocols to propagate memes.

  42. Matt, Esq. says:

    Also, figured I’d throw in here, conservatism doesn’t constantly need “new ideas”. The very basis of conservatism is simple- smaller government, free markets, lower taxes, constitutional minded judges. We don’t need to re-brand because our ideas are solid and have been tested over a long period of time. The “rebranding” talk is coming from the repubs who have embraced some of the lefty issues (global warming, pork spending, gay marriage) in an attempt to seem more “mainstream” and electable. Personally, I think true conservatives, who focus on the economy, the military and smaller government, while leaving many of the “moral questions” up to the state, would attract both conservative and mainstream voters.

  43. Slartibartfast says:

    Quit fetishizing meme propagation, nishi. It’s not the be-all and end-all.

    Science ain’t about right or left politics. And vice versa, to a great extent.

  44. nishizonoshinji says:

    Go read some Russell Kirk,

    See JD? People won’t do that. If conservatism is still a viable philosophy (and im not sure it is), how does that message get out?
    My point to Aldo is that conservatism is not relevent to my demographic.
    Pragmatically, how could conservatism become relevent?

  45. nishizonoshinji says:

    Slart, the Right has shaped anti-science and anti-tech as policy.
    They chose this battle.
    Are you sayin the Right isn’t widely percieved as anti-science and anti-technology?

  46. nishizonoshinji says:

    Slart, memes are competitive just like genes.
    Look at the word “meme” itself…3 years ago no one used it….now everyone dooes.
    In terms of cultural evolution, the republicans have gone down a dead end path.
    And Matt, I see no conservatism in the repubs any more.
    The repubs are trying to out democrat the democrats.
    That ecological niche is already filled.

  47. JD says:

    Quit fetishizing meme propagation, nishi. It’s not the be-all and end-all.

    Actually, Slarti, that is all she has. She is impervious to truth and facts. Her opinions and perceptions have become her facts, her reality.

    Witness #45. She wishes to believe that Republicans are anti-science. She based this on policy issues she has with them that intersection with her religion. As a result, she takes her policy disagreement, creates her meme that Republicans are anti-science, and then proclaims it far and wide. It is transparent. And dishonest. But it is all she’s got. Her world does not exist beyond herself and her peer group.

  48. nishizonoshinji says:

    Thought experiment for you JD.
    Who do you think scientists are gonna vote for?
    Dr. Pinker usta be sorta right-leaning.
    Not any more.

  49. JD says:

    See JD? People won’t do that.

    That you choose to not educate yourself says nothing about the soceity as a whole. I agree that the Republican party has gone adrift, but citing that the media and culture are controlled by Leftists is not something new, is no sea change. That is their domain.

  50. JD says:

    Brain game for you, nishi.

    If a scientist votes for Baracky, does that mean Republicans are anti-science?

  51. N. O'Brain says:

    “Comment by nishizonoshinji on 5/20 @ 7:43 am #

    Slart, the Right has shaped anti-science and anti-tech as policy.”

    Fuck you, nishinazi. You’re the most ignorant slut in the known universe.

  52. nishizonoshinji says:

    If Dr. Pinker does it should be obvious.
    The bioluddite council’s 555 page report just turned him.
    ;)

  53. nishizonoshinji says:

    but citing that the media and culture are controlled by Leftists is not something new, is no sea change. That is their domain.

    dude! u are not listening!
    the Left is getting a virtual monoply.
    the Left controls both houses of congress now, AND is going to get the presidency.

  54. Carin -BONC says:

    Slart, the Right has shaped anti-science and anti-tech as policy.
    They chose this battle.
    Are you sayin the Right isn’t widely percieved as anti-science and anti-technology?

    Then, nishi, your demographic is woefully misinformed. It’s interesting that you focus on the anti-science segments of the Republican party, and totally ignore those segments among liberals.

    It’s very telling.

  55. Carin -BONC says:

    If all that happens … watch for the next election cycle, nish. When they go down in flames. It would be almost worth it — putting up with four years of Dem control.

    Almost.

  56. Carin -BONC says:

    And, DUDE – you are a prime example as to why the youth are simply not worth listening to. Your lack of perspective and experience coupled with your arrogance is a formula for disaster.

  57. JD says:

    dude! u are not listening!
    the Left is getting a virtual monoply.
    the Left controls both houses of congress now, AND is going to get the presidency.

    As though this has never been the case before?

  58. nishizonoshinji says:

    so?
    we still vote.

  59. JD says:

    How far back does your memory go, nishit?

  60. JD says:

    so?
    we still vote.

    No, you attend rallies. You prattle on endlessly. You, as an individual, may vote, but your demographic does not, at least not in any way as to make them a demographic group that could be counted on.

  61. Carin -BONC says:

    JD, Dude, life began when nishi started paying attention to politics. Everything that came before? That was just the history of OLD WHITE GUYS. Like, totally irrelevant.

  62. MayBee says:

    I nominate beer to be the worst person in the world.

  63. nishizonoshinji says:

    JD, even when Clinton and Carter were pres, they were held in check by republican congresses.
    This is a unique event.
    And Carin, we are already in a blacklash against the Right, if you read Packer.
    He projects it will last a very long time.

  64. Pablo says:

    I denounce you, MayBee!

  65. nishizonoshinji says:

    we will vote this year.
    the times they are a-changing.

  66. nishizonoshinji says:

    just watch us.

  67. JD says:

    we will vote this year.

    Sounds like the Cubs fans annual lament of “wait ’til next year”. I will believe it when I see it.

  68. Pablo says:

    Silly bot, facts are for humans. Run along now.

  69. JD says:

    This history of Carter having a Republican Congress is interesting. By interesting, I mean it is a lie.

  70. nishizonoshinji says:

    haha, ok pablo, but not a filibuster proof majority.
    that will be the unique event.
    interesting to see the backlash vote…though.
    hmmm…the repub congress in Clintons 2nd term and Carter being tossed out.
    Carin’s backlash argument may have some credibility.
    Except we are already in a backlash against 8 years of Bush.

    Interesting times.
    gtg.

  71. MayBee says:

    I discovered a new species of bird this morning in my backyard.
    I had never before seen a bird like this one.

  72. JD says:

    Let the redifintion and revision begin …

  73. happyfeet says:

    Ohnoes. More peoples already voted against the Democratic nominee than ever in historical history. I looked it up. I don’t know what we’re gonna do. It just seems hopeless.

  74. N. O'Brain says:

    My fear is that an Obama win will saddle us with a president orders of magnitude more incompetent than Jimmy Carter.

  75. MayBee says:

    If the Dems get all three branches, I wonder if they’ll try to revive that fabulous ergonomics bill.
    That was good government, right there.

  76. SarahW says:

    Denouncing Hops?

    Onoes, Maybee – thats a denouncin’!

    You better hides behind this jungles.

  77. Google Can’t get nothin’ good from that.

  78. Slartibartfast says:

    Slart, the Right has shaped anti-science and anti-tech as policy. They chose this battle. Are you sayin the Right isn’t widely percieved as anti-science and anti-technology?

    Is AGW science, or anti-science? So hard to keep up, these days.

  79. Slartibartfast says:

    Dr. Pinker usta be sorta right-leaning.
    Not any more

    Really? The man has changed his whole philosophical framework 180 degrees, just because he disagrees with some politicians?

    How many scientists do you think can shed their whole way of thinking like so many dried-out snakeskins? And what makes you think that you can speak for them, as if they’re some amorphous, homogeneous whole?

  80. Ouroboros says:

    Remember.. There IS NO “I” in Conservatism…

    Oh.. Actually there is…

    Nevermind.

  81. Smirky McChimp says:

    Can we please stop feeding the troll-bot? I was going to nominate someone as the worst person in the world, but after reading the usual flamebait which occurs when Anime LOLCat shows up, I nominate the first person in this thread who responded to LOLCat. Whoever that was.

    And then I’m gonna go change my Depends, and pick the sand out of my vay-jay-jay, and take a nap.

    *grumble*

  82. JD says:

    Slarti – Do you do any work with ATK or Rolls-Royce?

    Smirky – I denounce myself, and declare myself the worst person in the world, behind the worst person in the world emeritus, Olberdickface.

  83. nishizonoshinji says:

    Really? The man has changed his whole philosophical framework 180 degrees, just because he disagrees with some politicians?

    nope, because of the consistant antiscience/antitechnology attitude of the bush admin and the right.
    the bioluddite council has been spewing this shit for 7 years.
    read Ramez Naam, More Than Human.
    Jeff has read it.

    AGW is is just the junkscience extension of Climatology, which is a real science.
    Very different than Kass’ antilongevity, antigenetic engineering, anti-freaking-cosmetic surgery rejection of technology.
    And very different from IDT psuesdoscience.

  84. nishizonoshinji says:

    voting is always a choice between different idealogies.
    accept it.
    the Right is antiscience, and antitech.

  85. BJTexs says:

    wash, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat,….

  86. nishizonoshinji says:

    i mean, the Right totally buys the evilscientist meme (you guyz believe that–you’re exemplars), wants to slay the technodragon or at least slap a bridle on it, wants to restrict fundage for research…..who we gonna choose?
    Not you.
    ;)

  87. nishizonoshinji says:

    BJTex, you guys totally agree with Stein and Levin and Kass an Pellegrino and Bush.
    that doesn’t endear the Right to us.

  88. BJTexs says:

    Wash, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, rep … ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  89. nishizonoshinji says:

    and you know what Slart?
    the proteins here laid down a 700+ comment thread convincing me about how scientists need “supervision”.
    the Right is anti-science. Why object to the truth?

  90. Rusty says:

    the Right is antiscience, and antitech.

    I bet you and dd never get headaches.

  91. Slartibartfast says:

    Slarti – Do you do any work with ATK or Rolls-Royce?

    No, not that I’m aware of. I work for Lock-Mart.

    the proteins here laid down a 700+ comment thread convincing me about how scientists need “supervision”.

    You still need to work on your reading skills. A lot. When you’re done, work on logic. At that point, actual conversation just may be possible.

    Oh, and next time you roll a new character, I suggest you prioritize training “int”.
