A message from Duncan Black to yours truly, delivered in a roundabout way.

From the comments section of this post by arch-villain Andrew Northrup:

is protein wisdom back? I remember when he was supposed to one of those “sensible conservatives” i was supposed to be nice to.

ugh.

Atrios

protein wisdom responds:  AS A CITIZEN JOURNALIST I SHALL BROOK NO DISRESPECT.  Now quickly, someone fetch me my copy of Blog so I can plan my CITIZEN JOURNALIST’S response to this communist OUTRAGE.*

update:  From another commenter in that same thread:

I just had a look at the Charles Johnson’s blogg. Bloggs are something that are new to me, however after reading some of the comments it appears Osama Bin Laden has done the world and America a favour. Osama has successfully got the American government to reveal to the world what America actually is, not what America thinks it is. The illegal behaviour and dishonesty of the American government can only be described as DEPRAVED and this is reinforced by the American people through the aforementioned blogg.

You see?  Osama provided a valuable service

Thanks for forcing us to really see ourselves, Osama! And those big fires in New York? Just the right amount of light, too!

    How dare he call you “sensible”? Who does the little shit think he is?

  2. Jeff Goldstein says:

    ”…supposed to be one of those ‘sensible conservatives’”.  Supposed.  But not actually.

    Probably because I WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE LORD SMITES ALL MY ENEMIES!

  3. Allah says:

    Let me state, for the record and to the great surprise of no one, that I can’t get enough of the Hewitt mocking.  Can.not.

    Today’s tagline is among your best, sir.

  4. Beto Ochoa says:

    Be gentle with the little one. He suffers from so many phobias. Namely, Ithyphallophobia, Medorthophobia, Medomalacuphobia, Hierophobia, Psellismophobia, Catagelophobia and Arachibutyrophobia.

  5. Allah says:

    Since we’re lefty-bashing, you might want to check out Wolcott today, too.  Turns out those of us on the right who occasionally use the verb “to fisk” are actually latent homos who want five fingers up our asses.

    That’s why Vanity Fair pays him the big bucks, baby.

  6. CraigC says:

    Beat me to it, dammit, Gail.  I’ll have to go to plan B.

    (sound of wheels turning, smell of smoke)

    Got it!

    You can tell by the shoes.

  7. Ana says:

    Feel the regret…

    to fisk?

    wuzzat mean?

  8. CraigC says:

    Allah, I’m sure I wasn’t the first person to notice that all you have to do is replace that “K” with a “t”…kind of appropriate, huh?

  9. Dan says:

    Just a rumination – if the information world is so changed, why was it printed, as opposed to e-published? Or is this a long term struggle, sorta like the civil rights movement?

  10. gail says:

    Allah, If you say Hugh Hewitt really fast over and over it sounds like birds. Is that a form of mockery?

  11. gail says:

    Or have I been chanting a Hugh Hewitt mantra?

  12. MC says:

    OK, after following the above Poor Man’s link, for the very first time since I began reading PW, I feel really icky – there’s more payola on the left than could be possibly imagined – how else could so many whose primary sustenance is the continuous ingestion of psilocybin stay alive? – I’m going to take a shower.

  13. Jeff, if you want to smite Atrios, then I suggest rather than using a book perhaps a baseball bat.  I’ll bring two and join you.

    Then I’ll spring for pie.

  14. Sean M. says:

    STEVE GILLIARD IS MY MASTER!

  15. JWebb says:

    From the linked comments, I guess I am now a fan of “a suck ass” blog.

    Hell, I’m still trying to deal with “sycophantic poseur.”

  16. gail says:

    Jeff, if you want to smite Atrios, then I suggest rather than using a book perhaps a baseball bat

    Smack him one in the gob for me fellas.

  17. gail says:

    If that wouldn’t be too vile.

  18. Jeff B. says:

    For whatever reason, I find the spelling of “blog” as “blogg” to be gobsmackingly vile.

  19. Donnah says:

    How about “blogge”? Or “blogh”? Or “blogue”?

  20. Jeff B. says:

    “Blogh” is acceptable so long as it’s pronounced with a guttural, Proto-Indo-European -gh sound.  Even better: “Bhlogh,” which works that aspirated bh- in at the beginning.

  21. Beth says:

    Bloggs are something that are new to me

    Obviously.

    And I will not click that link. 

    Signed,

    “Suck ass” “blogg” reader.

  22. At that point, Jeff B., it sounds like a Klingon word.

  23. Sean M. says:

    With so much trouble in tha LBC

    It’s kinda hard to write a b-l-o-double-g

  24. MC says:

    It’s about to get bilabial again.

  25. Two stops beats a sonorant. Or at least that’s how it was when we used to play that.

  26. CraigC says:

    Which reminds me, I forgot to mention that “Condescending Uvula” was the name of my first band.

  27. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Atrios gets over 100K visitors each day; Poor Man over 20K.  Me, I get a fraction of that.

    Maybe I should start dressing to the left.  Hell, I can use the word “wingnut” and make chimp jokes.

  28. MC says:

    Whatever works my friend.

    I like ‘bilabial’ better and if you start up with the chimp jokes I think the monkey might come back from the dead and do a face plant on your windshield when you least expect it.

    I think your jocularity and concept challenges will win out in the end – because you raise the minds of your students to the subject matter – rather than lower it to the teaming masses (who don’t have anything to give back to you in the first place.)

    Cheers!

    (And “language” is my spam buster.)

  29. Doug F says:

    Osama Bin Laden has done the world and America a favour

    Un-fucking-real.

    I guess I take some comfort in the fact that the spelling of the word “favor” suggests that at least this commenter wasn’t an American himself.  Not that the James Wolcott’s and Bill Mahers of America wouldn’t agree with him.

  30. CraigC says:

    Jeff, are you right-handed?

  31. Jsoh says:

    Atrios gets 100K hits a day, from the same 12 unique IPs.

  32. Carin says:

    Jeff, you’d get a ton more hits if we didn’t have other things to do (jobs, etc)… I mean, I can only ignore the kids for so long.

    (spam word, dr – is that some slam at my lack of profession and SAH mom status?)

  33. Now, see what happens when you give.  You give and give and they return the favor with insults.

    I’m still proud of you for giving.  Despite the crippling emotional blows which result from such lefty taunts.

    You are a stronger man than I.

  34. gail says:

    I left my reading glasses at home, Preston, but if you said Jeff is a stranger man than you, I would say that’s indisputable….

  35. kyle says:

    Is there a term extant that is the blog equivalent of tv’s “jumped the shark”?  ‘Cause, Wolcott, um, he did that.  A while back.

  36. shank says:

    That Osama shit is the most backwards-ass logic I think I’ve ever heard.  I’d like to see the person who came up with that little slice of drivel walk through Manhattan wearing the very same on a signboard.  Sometimes, the intarweb just makes you want to bitchslap people.

  37. TomB says:

    Speaking of Hewitt, I haven’t been to blogmother’s site recently.

    Are we still grounded?

  38. j.scott barnard says:

    Wasn’t the “reality-based community” the same one that still believes the Killian memos are real?

  39. Yep scott.  It seems that “reality-based” is a lot like saying that pressboard is “wood-based”.

  40. Shank, if the Osama sh*t is the most backwards-ass logic you have heard, you didn’t hear Boxer today. she said that Osama could have dreamed of a better plan than for us to invade the middle east “just as he predicted” and give terrorists even MORE of a reason to hate us. In fact Osama, according to Boxer, didn’t even like Saddam. So we did him a FAVOR!

    So see? We were simply fooled into the MASTER PLAN of Osama…..

  41. that should read “Osama could ‘NOT’ have dreamed”

  42. Beth says:

    Uhhh-huh-huh-huh-huh..hey Beavis, RWS said ”sh*t”.

    Heh heh heh heh…Butthead, that rules!

  43. The * makes all the difference…wink
