It’s true. There are logs and chats and email trails proving it.
Fear me. I’m a soul eater. Best to keep your distance. Else you might get some of my evil crazy on you.

So, Be-elezb, you taking the 49rs or the Greenies this weekend?
“Pleased to meetchew. Hope you guessed my name!”
Do you understand?
If you were the devil, the D would be uppercase.
I have met the Devil and you aren’t even a minion. Too much nice in there.
If a man is measured by the enemies he makes, then I’m sorry to say that you are a very small man. Also, you are plagued by delusions of adequacy. You’re also a batshit crazy former liberal arts teacher from a rainy place. And a renowned balloon-fence engineer.
I’m starting to think that it may be unfair to measure a man by his enemies.
Well…was my soul tasty?
Did I miss something? Or is this just because you don’t like wearing the latest Team R jersey or do all the spirit yells with utter abandon?
Is this Tsavo?
You forgot about serenading cats, Squid.
Oh, man! How did I overlook that particular gem?
I’m sorry, but at worst–worst!–you’re a man of taste.
Have some tea & sympathy. Remember after recreate ’68 comes ’69. Man walks the moon and the left implodes.
I mean, you didn’t produce “Highlander 2” or anything like that.
Bill Gertz looks at the new SEAL’s book about the Bin Laden killing and I wonder why, if Obama is going to lean on the killing of Bin Laden as his one unequivocal accomplishment of the last four years, WHY in the fuck-of-all-fucks the Obama people thought to lie about the story from the very inception of their tales of it? Incompetent idiots, is all I can come up with by way of a kindness to them.
Easy sdferr, they never thought they’d have to lean on killing Osama.
Seems to me that “incompetent idiots” covers “they never thought”.
It must be the GAY PORN COCK OF LIES! Either that or people are still mad about Shannon Elizabeth’s nipples disappearing for years…
Obama is to the Bin Laden killing like Clinton is to welfare reform. Both dragged kicking and screaming, after aborting the action twice, into doing what was right and then after success they claim all the credit for themselves. In each case the truth would not have served to aggrandize their tiny selves.
I thought the devil would be taller and have more reptilian or ruminant features.
Y’know, like Anna Wintour.
“In each case the truth would not have served to aggrandize their tiny selves.”
But how with the story Obama people put out that Bin Laden was using his wife as a human shield when she was wounded in the leg? I mean, while this might be a stupid instance of attempting to make Bin Laden into a bigger coward than he was in an account detailing the simple facts as Mark Owen has them, or his fellow raiders may reveal them in years to come, so clumsily attempting to dishearten Bin Laden’s followers with false propaganda or some such, it doesn’t reflect on Obama himself in any way that I can see, except poorly in the meta-sense as it comes to light as a lie — and in that event, being exposed as a liar actually helps the goddamn al Qaeda when they mock the US President. So why tell lies that in the end only make Obama’s own case worse?
sdferr, I think you’ve come full circle to “incompetant idiots”.
You’re right Darth. Can’t be avoided I guess.
He’s a bad liar? A good liar doesn’t go into too many details, a bad liar will, in an attempt to make the lie seem more like truth, when the details simply make it more refutable.
Other than that I got nothing. Liars love lying as they think they can bend reality to their whims.
To bring it back on topic.
You can’t be “the Devil”, the “Lie” is not in you.
Y’know, like Anna Wintour.
I’m so glad I wasn’t lifting my coffee cup to my lips when I read that.
I’m trying to imagine the Devil as a hobbity Visigoth purist.
It’s kinda like a Molly Hatchet album cover concept meeting after the brown acid.
I thought the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing people he didn’t exist. Perhaps you’re just hiding in plain sight.
Somehow this seems apropos.
Ernst, have you read the Jay Cost piece this morning? His alignment of progressivism with Obama contra Romney in some bizarre parallel with Jefferson contra Hamilton seems totally, inexcusably fucked up to me and I was wondering how you look at it?
Haven’t, sdferr. Gimme an hour or two.
Why, there’s even a video.
It’s all water under the bridge to me. I knew there was a kind of subterranean movement afoot; you don’t go from where I was to being essentially shunned without someone doing some prosecuting of me in absentia. And I’d fully expect those who bought into the damning narrative to double down rather than admit they got snookered. Frankly, some of them were happy to see me removed from the equation.
So best just to let it lie. It’s a small vindication I guess, but then, I never thought I needed any. So it is what it is.
“I mean, I am the devil, do you understand? Just what will you give me for your titties and beer? I suppose you noticed this little Contract here…”
“…gimme that paper…bet yer ass I’ll sign… ’cause I need a beer, ‘n it’s titty-squeezin’ time!”
“Man, you can’t fool me…you ain’t that bad… I mean you shoulda seen some of the souls that I’ve had… Why there was Milhous Nixon ‘n Agnew, too… ‘n both of those suckers was worse ‘n you…”
— Frank Zappa, “Titties and Beer”
Jeff, does your use of the word “prosecuting” have any special significance?
Did that come across as pointed?
I think Cost is shoehorning present political cleavages into an outdated Pol SCi 102: Intro to Amercian Politics model. We’re all the bastard love children of Hamilton and Jefferson these days.
To say nothing about the Jackson in the woodpile.
From a Poli-Sci perspective, I think Keller’s Three Regimes model is more useful than talking about either Party Systems or Critical Elections or realignment/dealignment.
Heh. I was reading on the Twitchy last night where a certain overly zealous prosecutor was fighting some *real*, costly devils who’ve never even heard of Anna Karenina. Some people just keep juggling chainsaws until they run out of gas, or fingers.
I’m lost, but, then again, I’ve always been slow on the uptake.
I spoke with Saint Michael and you’re fine, Jeff.
If it had I wouldn’t have thought to ask — since, history and all. But because it didn’t, the history led me to wonder. And lest others also wonder who are prone to combing other people’s blogs looking for something they might misportray as provocative…
But maybe that’s what they want us to think you think we think he thinks.
Thanks Ernst. “[T]wo worldviews” is bad enough (interjecting a Hegelianism into talk of Ham. and Jeff.), but making two fundamentalist Lockeans into “worldview” opponents on grounds of implementation arguments strikes me as full on absurdity. But trump that with the progressive alignment/parallel, when neither of them come anywhere near progressivism and the progressives deny everything Ham and Jeff stand for, it’s just skewy. And retarded. And etc.
– I’m not even going to try to deconstruct that McGehee. I’ll just assume it was leading edge and let it go at that. *burp*
You don’t fool me, BBH. I know you know I know you know I know you know I know you know I know you know I know you know I know you know I know you understood it.
I thought for a moment that things had gone all Spartacus only more Satanic.
Anyone check the box wine sales in Cali? I’ve been thinking they’ve been going up for a couple years now.
You know, for sprinkling on demons and such…
And lest others also wonder who are prone to combing other people’s blogs looking for something they might misportray as provocative…
To quote the great Paul Anka, “Where’s Joe?”
Didn’t Paul Anka say, “The guys get shirts!”
Pazuzu says hey.
Did you ever notice that there are the same number of letters in “Jeff Goldstein” and “the devil”. Well, it’s not exact. There are some extra letters in Jeff’s name to make more evil words with.
I was told there wouldn’t be any math.
