52 to 48:the dark(er) side

Trying to de-code Tongaroo, is that a South Pacific islander/Ozzie thing?

The progressive method for a credible “spite-filled rant” accusation is a to frame it within a “spite-filled rant”.

It’s no wonder these people are borderline.

Tongaroo’s probably a nick for Tongo Rad, damn Space Hippies!

Tongaroo.Is that like Captain Kangaroo, minus the intellect and charm?

I wonder how he’s going to feel when he finds out that the mandatory voluntary community service is mandatory again, and his check is right behind the ones the campaign volunteers are still waiting on?I was as young once, but never as dumb.

The grassroots ‘burbs of Sorosville aren’t going to like me much for the next 4 years.

“SOYLENT GREEN”?????

I thought it was “Simple Green”.

The closest I can come up with is that he spelled it wrong, and meant Dongaroo.Like kangaroo dong.Or maybe he typed another letter wrong and meant kangaroo dung.

so does anyone want to help me out with http://www.48to52fu.com ?

Simple Green comes in both ready to use and bucket dilutable concentrate formats.

I really don’t understand why they care.

Say, didn’t Tongaroo get the memo that the 52 are s’posed to be all lovey-dovey with the 48 so that the P-E won’t get any crit?

Apparently many of the 52 percenters are still projecting as if they had 10,000 watt lamps inside their tiny skulls.

Probably, but that’s just for show.I’m a special breed of evil, so attacking me with anonymous emails is encouraged.

If Harsanyi et.al. were wrong why fuss?It didn’t affect the election outcome, and if it’s not true then it should be a total non-starter now.

Unless it really is true, in which case opposition needs to be defeated before it can gain any strength.

Mediamatters has their marching orders.The war has not ended with the election, merely shifted to another phase.But the winning tactics remain.Browbeating and intimidating the opposition is not going fade away, merely be re-focused as necessary.

The righty pundits who thought they could reach some sort of accommodation now that the left is holding all the reigns of power will learn eventually.

That was Teh Awesome Email.I wish people would email me and call me a pseudo-intellectual.That would fucking rule.Taking time from your busy schedule of ass-picking, jumping up and down in O-induced glee, and planning what to do with your money now that you don’t have to buy gas and pay your mortgage – to email the Perf, well that is true adoration, man.

And if that weren’t proof enough of the Perf’s star power:

So far there are only three names on the leper list, but the numbers will surely grow, now such temperate souls as Ace are on the case and Protein Wisdom’s Jeff Goldstein has gone “outlaw” (no longer cutting the crusts off his peanut butter sandwiches before devouring them whole). I haven’t listened to wingnut talk radio since the election, but I imagine Mark Levin and others are putting up quite a howl too. I expected fun things to happen once Obama was elected, but I didn’t expect the hinges to fall quite so soon.

Thrilling!!!

For the record, I know you are tougher.I know you wash that sandwich down with milk that is past the expiration date.

OUTLAW!

Badasssssssssssssssssss.

I’d guess an Aussie living in Tonga.

So, y’know – ignore.

What does Heeeeeeeeeeewaaaaaaack! mean? I don’t really care. The deal is that this email is a measure of how lost they are without Bush I think. Hate is addictive or something I guess. Baracky will need designated enemies right out of the gate I think. He’ll probably pick something gay like “polluters” or Wal-Mart.

Well Jeff, if the wife would allow it … hybridizing that special breed of evil could be a money making possibility in these dark and troubled times.

I would denounce myself, but I look so good in a pink feathered pimp hat.

Hold it!Think for a minute.Green Corps.Required volunteer jobs and Obama is going to mine his youth vote.

What would you pay to get 3 hours alone with one of these fuzznuts near some cliffs, traffic or large bodies of water?

Accidents happen.And that dude was so stoned.

Hate is addictive or something I guess.

Yep. Which is why I do my best not to indulge in it.

Wait a minute…”Feed the tuna fish mayonnaise.”

We could pull a reverse Alinsky or a Lombardi if you will.Put on your flip flops and AGW t-shirt and secure a supervisory job with the youth corps.Work their asses like your trying to get them to win the trash pickup Super Bowl.Smell that?That’s backlash.

David is into the patient’s hydromorphone again.Go sleep it off, tonga

Joke:

Q: What do they call Obama in China?
A: President-ErectComrade.

Crappy strikethrough no-preview ARGH.Nevermind.

Lisa —

Where’s that quote coming from?I hadn’t read it, and I like to keep my Rolodex updated.

Don’t hate me because I’m anidiotimpatient.

So, once again:

Q: What do they call Obama in China?
A:President-Erect Comrade.

Feets: I think “Heeeeeeeeeeewaaaaaaack!” is supposed to be the sound of one knee being slapped.

Kinda zen, when you think about it.

Tongaroo?

Sounds like someone who’d believe in a cargo cult.

Oh wait…..

Funniest thing about that quote?Imagine it’s 2004:

I haven’tlistened readto wingnut talk radio Daily Kos/Huffington Post/etc. since the election, but I imagineMark Levin Andrew Sullivan/Markos Blahblah and others are putting up quite a howl too. I expected fun things to happen onceObama W. was (re) elected, but I didn’t expect the hinges to fall quite so soon.

Although to be fair, BDS was pretty much a full-time affliction by then, so the hinges had already fallen, to borrow a (pretty freaking crappy) phrase.

Projection?Illegal use of strawman?Stolen base?There’s so much wrong with that quote I’m embarrassed to even respond to it.I did get toplay with my new toy practice using my favorite HTML tag, though.

mojo, it sounded more derivative of Miss Piggy to me.

If you’re an OUTLAW do have to listen to the Outlaws?I mean they were ok band.

Jeff G: It’s from your pal James Wolcott. You can hear the snicker through the prose.

Linky

You do have to watch Jane Russell though.

It’s Dr. Kang.

Damn, Soylent! I misspelled that word playing Scrabble last night. That’s cheatn’.

James Wolcott:the imbecile that gives the rest of us pussy-lovers a bad name.

If we’re OUTLAW!, can we eat our Soylent Green with Tequila and the lemons we got from life? Cause I think they would go well together…

How many families peel off the outer leaves of a head of lettuce and discard those leaves??? That discard can make a good starter to a soup stock!

god help us I think

Nothing really unexpected.
Tongaroo expects you to act like he would have if Sen. Obama had lost.And you were filled with bile. And were petty.And had the desire for power over others.And all that other stuff.

Knowing nothing about Tongaroo I can only speculate, but I wonder how much Joy he will feel when he is expected to Work, for Obama will not let you stay in your old ruts, your isolation.No, the work to be done will mean freedom for others.

This will be entertaining.

It ‘s fine for the compost.Cheezit.

He likes to ride his bike and fall on his head. And float away in bliss.

So, once again:

Q: What do they call Obama in China?
A: President-Erect Comrade.

Wrong asian stereotype, asshole.

The deal is that this email is a measure of how lost they are without Bush I think. Hate is addictive or something I guess.

Quite so, feets.I think that there’s alot of earnest chin rubbing to be done once the progressives realize that the guillotine does little to put food on the table of the peasantry.

Such graciousness from our friends on the left. Magnanimity and humility truly pours forth. True egalitarianism and nobility extends.

#37 BJTexas:

Well isn’t that special? Mr. ‘I’m worthy of the Algonquin Round-Table’ Wolcott is after you, Jeff.You should be impressed he would deign to recognize you.*ahem*

Despite the PJ Media thing, you are giving the hits, you giving person, you.
I know, it’s just Vanity Fair, not a real-deal, but you got to take your enemies as they are.

BTW:I think the ‘Heeeeeewack’ thing was an attempt to do a Texasism/cowboy sound.It failed.

Wrong asian stereotype, asshole.

Stereotype, eh? I knew there was something sushi fishy going on there….

Jeff – If one is known by his friends, then one is also known by the character of his enemies.And those enemies that seek you out say much about you.

If you know what I mean.

(IIR my P.G. Wodehouse, the fictional novel ‘Cocktail Time’ was denounced by a bishop(?), which made the publishers happy because being denounced from the pulpit was good for many more thousands of sales.)

Think of Soylent Green as AlGore’s ultimate recycling initiative.

A vicar was one thing, a dean another, but a bishop!Oh!Joy!To be denounced by a bishop was the secret dream of every novelist for his work!

(Okay, okay.Wolcott is down in the vicar-leagues, but still!Work at it man, work at it!)

Didn’t someone call you “Pasty” before?

I’m wondering if it’s that PIATOR asshat from New Zealand. .

Oh, Wolcott.Probably wrote that while enjoying a nice hot cup o’ tea.And a string of anal beads.My, how they do make his jowels tic and flutter!

That’s a gen-u-ine James Wolcott quote re: the cutting the crusts.

Plus Jowls includes a link to PW, which should result in a Vanity Fair-a-lanche, or something.

Jeebus, I mean, these smart(ish) VF readers would naturally click on the links, right?

Tongaroo is an anaesthesiologist from Reno name of David Kang, I think.He likes biking and sports and Obama — though he didn’t give any money.Figures.

This is what he does when he’s not putting people under, I guess. Sorry, bad info from my source.It happens.

I remember that pasty stuff.Hil-ar-ious.

By the way – a pasty is a dish with a crust folded over containing meat, potatoes, vegetables, etc.It is associated with Cornwall and the U.P.Very filling, very good.Real stick-to-your-ribs sort of food.The food of a hard-working person.Tres proletarian, if you know what I mean.

Here – from Michigan Technological University (Michigan College of Mines) to you.

“This is what he does when he’s not putting people under, I guess.”

Some people could use his services.

Boggy is Salacious B. Crumb to Wolly’s Jabba the Hutt.

In fact, so entwined have they become that (with obvious apologies to the people of India) we might as well refer to them as BollyWoggy.

You’re not THAT bad meya.

And, yes, I’m just saying that to be nice.

You people are still doing politics when I posted on food?

Food should cut across all lines.It should be the ultimate unifier.That and bacon.

And shrimp.Bacon wrapped shrimp.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

And if there isn’t bacon wrapped shrimp, then I deputize the Canadians to make it so!And if there is, then the Canadians should concentrate on making more of it!And beer and rye!

And that stuffing my cousins’ make.And the gravy.

But mom can make the tarts – I’m going to get that recipe, and when I do I’ll post it.Promise.

You guys just remind me, okay?

Bacon shrimp is exactly the kind of thing gene splicing is supposed to accomplish.

If you don’t remind me, I’ll never remember.

What keeps me up at night is this: at some point these people aren’t going to be joking, and they’ll start acting on the hate they’ve been building up since 2000. If that happens, it’ll be the logical result of the sustained dehumanization of one’s foes.

A friend of mine attended the Eagles-Giants game last night. Biden was in the owner’s box and they showed him on the jumbo-tron. A mix of boos and cheers ensued. There is a black couple with ny giants jerseys on, loudly and angrily booing and the guy said “Thank God Obama is president. Can’t understand why people would want that cracker in office.” They thought he was McCain.

The funny thing about that MediaMatters apologia is that Obama’s promise doesn’t really fit in the context given.Is he really going to staff a few consulates and pump up the Peace Corps with 2.9 million bureaucrats?

This is what he does when he’s not putting people under, I guess.

Oh. Just another hero with a mask, I guess.

It’s good to know the MSM is still on the hard-hitting stories we all need to know about.

To be serious – it may be a bit.Mom had knee replacement surgery in early October.That went fine and she is really walking again, but she had a bout of pneumonia after that (she is susceptible after she had it as a kid in the 1930’s, when she was out of school for a year), and she is going in for a lumpectomy on Wednesday.So it may be a bit before I can get another recipe from her.

But she is a very determined lady, and lets very little get between her and a goal.So I keep my hopes up.(At age 42 she still lectures me, and is right more often than I shall admit.)

I can eat me some shrimpses…

“They thought he was McCain.”

They all look alike.

It wouldn’t matter to that particular 98%er, Jack Klompus, if the cracker in that luxury box were McCain or McBiden. We all look alike to him.

fist jab, dre~!

I think shrimp all look alike too. Same with bacon.

I like my bacon sizzlin’ from a Lodge skillet. I’m traditional that way.

It coulda been Ernest Fuckin’ Borgnine and that crackahatuh would’ve mistaken him for McCain.

OT – Ace O’Spades readers are planning meet-ups across the country this weekend to drink, commiserate and drink.Kindred spirits welcome.See Ace’s site for the meet-up thread.

Bubba, will there be drinking?

Happen to catch the election results? Whew…you must be beside yourself with your pseudo-intellectual angst.

Huh? I thought McCain lost.

“Bubba, will there be drinking?”

Until the last one falls off the bar stool.

I like the bear in Sarah’s office. I hope it bites Greta.

So…I was told that if we elected Obama, all this divisiveness would end and the old politics would die. But..but..HOPE! CHANGE! No more McSAME!

..I guess it’s true, a leopard really can’t change his spots. (And yes, the sarcasm was DRIPPING off this comment.) Classy folks, these Obama supporters, classy enough to kick a guy when he’s down.

Your mom sounds very cool. I hope she shakes all that off before the holidays.

Heeeeeeeeeeewaaaaaack

Trashman’s just got to have a copy of Progressive Fairy Tales around here someplace.

Bill Cosby used to do this thing where he would be all like my name is … Harvey Weeeewak. He thought it was funny.

Fat Arnold = Skinny Baracky

Hims got the slims what it is. Picked it up southside. Puts on a brave face he does.

“Heeeeeeeeeeewaaaaaack” comes from Tom Wolfe.

fubar #93 Fat Albert

Fat Albert= Fat Head Baracky

Sounds like Mr. Anesthesiologist has been taking his work home with him.IYKWIM.AITYD.

Tom Wolfe? No, I think the credit goes to Cyndi Lauper: She bop, she bop….Heeeeeeeeeeewaaaaaaack! – edited

Heh.

Heh

No worries, mate. No similar history of Bipolar on record.

I have the perfect t shirt:

“If you can read this , please put me back on my bar stool.”

Typical leftard pinhead…

Tolerance!, Respect!, Unity!, Diversity!, Post-Partisan! …

O!

Just like at the Clinton Inaugural…I lived in DC in those days, and made a practice of attending the public Inaugural festivities…As a formation of jets did a fly-by pass over the national mall, I heard to libs standing nearby me squeal with joy; “Those are our planes now, man!”

At that moment, I had no doubt that they were among the protesters at the Desert Storm victory parade one year prior…

I keep telling myself that this current round of gloating will lead, God willing, to a similar chain of events as it did then…

Perhaps Tongaroo will choke on some tofu…

And I think that Heeeeeeeeeewaaaaaack! is similar to Yeeeeeaaaaaaargh!, the scream that ended Howard Dean’s presidential run in 2004…

Best Wishes

And I think that Heeeeeeeeeewaaaaaack! is similar to Yeeeeeaaaaaaargh!

Some kind of communication via primal scream or reptilian victory whoop?

48 to 52: Gotta send this note out to the Prop 8 sore losers. Wonder how they will take it? I mean other than coming to my church and assaulting me with a brass candlestick.

Prop 8’s 52-to-48: The American people do NOT want gay marriage and never will. Even in the most gay-friendly state in the union you lost. That’s 30 states and counting that have it in their state constitutions. You can keep agitating and the other side can use your own extremism to bring out votes for social conservative candidates.

It’s a bridge too far. give it up and learn to accept that homosexual couples may deserve freedom to live their life, but dont have the right to redefine the traditional concept and institution of marriage.

And you should accept that its probably a good thing anyway, as the civilization requires a healthy environment for the raising of the next generation and the best environment is a married mom-and-dad family.

… but dont have the right to redefine the traditional concept and institution of marriage.

Because we all know that’s what government is for.

If you mean government as a formalized expression of the will of the people then yes you are correct.

And shrimp. Bacon wrapped shrimp.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Bacon wrapped scallops are heavenly too.Mmmmm.

There’s a place in my airport that does bacon wrapped scallops drizzled with a maple espresso sauce. O. M. F. G.

To die for. Or kill for. Whatever.

Oh, Pablo is that at Logan or T.F. Green? I’ve had those and they are the very definition of heaven. What’s the name of the place again?

Green. I avoid Logan like the plague. The Providence Oyster Bar is the source of those magical, tasty sea creatures.

This fucking tool-elect is leaking what happened behind closed doors between 2 people who supposedly have achieved the highest office.You talk behind closed doors between presidents and then you leak it like you’re a low level grunt?

Not a good human.

Zero.Fucking.Class

That’s Shy-town.

Souf-side!

It’s OK, alp. He’s the Messiah! Just remember this:

Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, ‘Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?’ We’re gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I’m asking you now, I’m asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you’re going to have to reinforce us.”

“There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don’t know about that decision’,” Biden continued. “Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”

It only seems completely fucking asinine. But ya gotta have faith.

It just dovetails with the hand-sanitizer story.W says, “Here use this, it’ll keep you from getting colds.”Great tip from a guy who is truly concerned for this newbie’s health.And Obama hears, “Let me sanitize so I don’t get any negro germs.”Like that nozzle Jim Webb when W asked him about the welfare of his son in the military.These guys are total flakes.

Yeah, the rest of that encounter, which doesn’t get much play, is much more instructive.

The president then led Obama off to one side of the room, where Bush said: “I hope you don’t mind me giving you a piece of advice.”

“Not at all, Mr. President,” Obama told the commander-in-chief.

“You’ve got a bright future,” Bush said presciently. “Very bright. But I’ve been in this town awhile and, let me tell you, it can be tough. When you get a lot of attention like you’ve been getting, people start gunnin’ for ya. And it won’t necessarily just be coming from my side, you understand. From yours, too. Everybody’ll be waiting for you to slip, know what I mean? So watch yourself.”

Bush then noted that he and Obama had something in common.

“We both had to debate Alan Keyes,” the president said. “That guy’s a piece of work, isn’t he?”

Obama laughed and even “put my arm around his shoulder as we talked,” he recalled, although he added the gesture “might have made many of my friends, not to mention the Secret Service agents in the room, more than a little uneasy.”

Despite this display of bonhomie, Obama said the president’s demeanor turned downright frightening when he laid out his agenda to the freshly minted lawmakers.

“Suddenly it felt as if somebody in a back room had flipped a switch,” Obama wrote. “The president’s eyes became fixed; his voice took on the agitated, rapid tone of someone neither accustomed to nor welcoming interruption; his easy affability was replaced by an almost messianic certainty. As I watched my mostly Republican Senate colleagues hang on his every word, I was reminded of the dangerous isolation that power can bring, and appreciated the Founders’ wisdom in designating a system to keep power in check.”

When I quoted from this passage to Bush during an Oval Office interview, the president seemed irritated to learn he had been taken to task by the senator he once counseled.

I thought I was actually showing some kindness,” Bush said indignantly. “And out of that he came with this belief?”

The president added with a bit of a scowl: “He doesn’t know me very well.”

He knows you as well as he knew his typical white Grammy.

Obama is waiting to be offended.Typical.

#117
What can you say, Bush can’t do anything right.He’s so incompetent, he can’t even show kindness properly.

Right, because he’s an evil racist. Who’d think that offering the new guy some sound advice borne of experience would seem kind? What a dunce. Now let’s get on with hopeychangey post partisan politics. Oh, wait.

…This fucking tool-elect is leaking what happened behind closed doors between 2 people who supposedly have achieved the highest office. …

Al, do you have a link to a story on this? Or more simply where you’ve seen it?

Thanks Pablo.

“Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”

Translation.
Obama/Biden are going to go for broke to the left. They will attempt to get everything in place before the next (2010) election. Their poll numbers will go down so much that even the polling firms will not be able to cover it up. They worry their base may desert.

Shorter.
Hang in there guys, the road to a socialist utopia will be bumpy.

I detest the manner in which the IHT article (which Pablo provided a link for above) paints government intervention (bailout) for the auto industry as the only rational economic alternative in the current circumstances.
“Some economists” they say, “…say the demise of even one of the automakers could tip the current recession toward a depression.” Fuckers.
“The Center for Automotive Research…” they quote “…which is based in Michigan and supported by the industry, released on Election Day an economic analysis of the impact of one or all of them failing. If the Big Three were to collapse, it said, that would cost at least three million jobs, counting autoworkers, suppliers and other businesses dependent on the companies, down to the hot-dog vendors and bartenders next door to their plants…” to such scary effect.
Bastards.
Who voices the other side of the issue? Well known economists? No. Free market think tanks? No. Thriving non-Big Three automakers? No.

Bush has drawn his line at the automakers’ doors, having already been forced to shelve the free-market principles of his Republican Party to bail out the financial industry over the past two months.

Pres Bush is made to stand alone, not even in his own words making an argument on economic grounds, but by inference and innuendo. Despicable.

Yeah.Thanks Pablo.

#90 Haps.

Thanks, I do too.I will see mom and dad at Christmas at my little brother’s home in North Carolina.

[…] Beyond that, I guess we’ve learned one more thing about Obama that reminds us of Jimmy Carter: a disdain for the kind of courtesies given other Presidents by those who’ve held (or, in this case, will hold) the office.* […]
