Another moment of unabashed pragmatism

I can delete this post any time I want. But I’ll need a good reason.

    I’ll give you a reason, all right.

    If you don’t, I’ll send these useful idiots to visit you and your blog.  They’ll expose what’s REALLY going on here, not just what YOU want us to see and read!  And, just like Marion, I’ll get rid of my PC…wink!

  2. I’ll tell the blogosphere about your persistent battle with genital warts. Oh … shit …

  3. Beck says:

    I refuse to acknowledge the jurisdiction of this blog over posts which may or may not deserve deletion.

  4. Joe says:

    Bill, he said a good reason. Jeff’s various social diseases are old news, buddy. And that prison time thing is, too. I’m pretty sure everybody’s already heard about the securities fraud, the not-so-secret love-ins with Peter Fonda (yeah, sure, Jeff was driving *snicker* but Fonda was parkin’ it, if you catch my drift) and the whole midget bowling fiasco. So, unless there’s some new charge …

    You have no right to delete this post!  This post describes more concisely sums up all the coherent thoughts in my recent diatribes than anything I could write myself, you war-mongering control freak!@#%!?!!!

    Blah, blah, blah, blah, spew, belch, FRAP!

    The tone of this post smacks of an awfully unilateral attitude to blogging.  Rational members of the blogging community undoubtedly disapprove of this reckless declaration of machismo on the part of Mr. Goldstein.

  7. mikeski says:

    Oh yeah?

    Well, don’t delete it, then.

    Leave it up.  Forever.  Right there.  Where it is.

    I dare ya.

  8. allintern says:

    Yeah!  Right on, Mikeski!  I double-dog dare ya!  Solidarity!!

    I love a good bandwagon…

    For one thing, the deal between the Department of Defense and Halliburton unit Kellogg, Brown & Root leads our attention to the end of any possibility of social justice in a reactionary state. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, a minority of warmongers and apologists brings forth the final subjugation of the Middle East, beginning with the $90bn invasion of Iraq. It is not heartening that the Pax Americana of the future is determined by capitalist interests which lead to the slaughter of thousands of children by Air Force cluster bombs. It is quite remarkable that the influence of Leo Strauss belies justifications given by the world’s leading apologists for this calamity brought to us by a horrific onslaught, known as Shock and Awe.

  10. Steve Gigl says:

    I can’t believe I have to be the one to say this, but you will delete it for a very popular reason: because you can.

  11. BH says:

    I’d keep it in this state of limbo for awhile as a cautionary example to all the other posts.

  12. Rae says:

    Muffins and milk….

  13. Kathy K says:

    Darn. I was going to leave a lefterator rant here but Fred got there first.

  14. LittleA says:

    Delete it if you want.  I’ve archived a copy so when you claim this post never existed I can post a screenshot of it and say, “OH YEAH?  WHAT ABOUT THIS!?!”

  15. Rae says:

    O.K., O.K. Chocolate Liquer Muffins, specifically, and a package of Huggies?

  16. Steve in Houston says:

    Delete it because of the Jews.

  17. allintern says:

    Wow.  This could go on longer than Seinfeld did.  Plus no commercials. 

    If you spin this off onto its own blog, do we all get residuals?

  18. Jeff G says:

    Somebody still owes me muffins.  So that offer is summarily dismissed. Until prior muffin contracts are fulfilled.

  19. Rae says:

    Fine.  I’ll just tell it like it is:  Jeff, we all obviously think you to be a genuis and the most clever man alive, so we keep offering up our sacrifices of semi-intelligent murmurings hoping that ours will be the one you choose.

  20. Jeff G says:

    Muffins will appease me. 

    Actually, wait. No.  Doing the semi-Atkins thing. Muffins would be bad.

    Cheese!  Fine cheeses will appease me!

  21. Rae says:

    Muenster, Provolone, Port Wine?  How about Mozarella, Brie, Blue, or Monterey Jack?  Sharp Cheddar, Swiss, Colby, Camembert, Gorgonzolla, Limberger?  Name it….Wait-muffins made with meats and cheeses?  SO, I take it no Huggies needed?

  22. allintern says:

    Rae, it scares the hell out of me to think you may have to pony up a few of those Hickory Farms logs you’ve put away until the holidays but you’re our best chance. 

    Take one for the team, sister.

  23. Steve in Houston says:

    Huh huh huh. You said “logs”.

  24. Dodd says:

    Perhaps the 8bot will leave a comment here. That would be a good reason.

  25. Because I can worked for me.  Or are you not the master of your own domain?

  26. Joe Geoghegan says:

    Holy crap.  I can’t believe that post garnered 25 comments.  Er, 26.

  27. Paul Zrimsek says:

    By “good reason” do you mean a reason which possesses the objective quality of goodness, or just a reason which you can defend against criticism, provided of course the critic and you both subscribe to the same basic social conventions regarding what sort of reasons count as “good”?

    Pragamtism answers: “That depends.”
