Dan Collins is experiencing what many of us these days are experiencing, namely, the shock of the surreal supplanting the actual, and doing so in plain sight, with hardly so much as a second thought:
The House voted to censure Joe Wilson when he shouted “You lie!” after Obama claimed that illegal immigrants wouldn’t be covered by his legislation. They then had to spend the night making their counter-claims true.
It’s a progressive’s world, Dan. Once truth is tethered to nothing more than consensus, even time ceases to matter.
Chronology? An oppressive constraint on what is right conjured up by those presume to block social justice with the kinds of artificial constructs that the Enlightenment used to create and then secure the status quo.
Yes, the emperor is naked. But naked is the new black. Deal.
And by “the new black,” I think you all know what I’m saying (wink wink, nudge nudge, CODE WORDS CODE WORDS)…
I knew what you were saying. DENOUNCED.
“Why are they angry?”, ask the anger makers. “It’s because they’re afraid!” they answer themselves.
So wise, these anger makers. Re-re-retroactively, they double-doubling-back to trooth.
Get some.
We have always been at war with Eurasia
The left-wig Democrats have no problem explaining away the fact that, “we brought terrorism on ourselves!”, by our actions and associations. But for some reason they don’t get that people are angry because their will was just big-footed by the very House of Representatives where that will was supposed to be expressed.
Instead, they blame it on “tea-baggers” and engage in victimhood-as-midirection; “we got spat on, threatened and called (gasp) nigger!1!1!!eleventy”. It’s the same as, “Look! Bunnies!”
And all while Obama carries on with his perpetual campaigning, simply demagoguing Obamacare lately.
the little president man’s dirty socialist Associated Press has gotten quite good at finding the silver lining…
If these guys keep screwing with things like causality, they may have to rethink the Second Law of Thermodynamics. After all, that word “law” is so oppressive and artificial.
How about the Second Dialog of Thermodynamics?
Consensus? We were asking for it, after all.
Once truth is tethered to nothing more than consensus, even time ceases to matter.
Where were you when I needed you, comrade?
Illegals can get their health care too.
Dan, now that your fifty aren’t you twenty years late for this?
Hey, buddy, I’m not fifty until tomorrow.
Fifty, Dan? What an old, old man you are. Fifty? Why I won’t be fifty until… uh… 2013.
In other news, entitlements have been rolled back before. Health care entitlements. In this country.
You guys are both frelling ancient. I won’t be fifty until 2014. In your face, oldies!
#7: you think you’re joking, don’t you?
I suggest that you look into “scholars” like Sandra Harding — who once referred to Newton’s Principia as a “rape manual”.
A trend we can all get behind: 5 new terms to replace “hipsters”.
Doucheoisie
Fauxhemians
Pabstsmears
Probos (professional hobos)
Trendsluts
h/t Insty, who also prefers “Doucheoisie”
I like Doucheoisie.
Old? Old? I’m not even 40! (he says, checking his watch)
As to the topic, I do try to make people aware of the fact that reporters are pretty much the same thing as congenital liars, most of them already know that about politicians (but apply it selectively, usually without a good reason).
Hmph; I won’t be fifty until … uhh … 2003….
But you see, Bob, we don’t deserve to be outraged, unlike the “noble savages” in other parts of the world or even Berkeley.
Oops, forgot to close a tag
Neo-neocon draws a masterful portrait of the hauteur of power at work in the White House. At geoffb’s suggestion, a snippet of an exchange in the White House newsroom, during a daily brief, starring in the lead, Robert Gibbs:
Sunday morning idiocy:
From Look At This Fucking Teabagger. Emphasis mine.
Thanks for that, Pablo.
I have just this weekend decided that I am tired of talking, reasoning, explaining to the sort of people who pride themselves on their knowledge and tolerance – who then turn around and join in the slurs and the outright lies. I am just tired. I went around checking the links and “favorites n’friends” on my various blogs, and deleted the links to any of them who had commented or posted and used the ‘teabagger’. I’m done with talking. I wonder if this was what the real ramp-up to our Civil War felt like, say, in the late 1850s? When people realized there was no more use in talking?
Fifty? All you oldsters, riding on the geezer bus. I won’t be fifty until… uh, 2011. Waitaminute! When did this happen?
Pablo,
That’s either intentional sarcasm or completely delusional.
Why not simply mockingly derogatory Spiny, as intended?
Coffee Party motto, with truth added:As a member or supporter of the Coffee Party, I pledge to conduct myself in a way that is civil, honest, and respectful toward people with whom I disagree, so long as they agree with me. I value people from different cultures, so long as it isn’t the dominant American middle-class culture. I value people with different ideas, so long as their ideas conform with mine. And I value and cherish the democratic process, so long as I win.
Damn blockquotes.
[…] truth is tethered to nothing more than consensus, even time ceases to matter The quote above shamelessly stolen from the sublime Jeff […]
When did this happen?
About the same moment you were born. ;-)
