me: “Uh, dude? I can’t feel my hands or fingers.”
Klonopin: “I know, awesome, isn’t it? And if you close your eyes and tug on yourself just so, it almost feels like some totally hot stranger’s doing you a naughty naughty solid.”

Two things.
1) You will see the truth in a clarity hitherto beyond your grasp as you slip your mortal coil.
2) You won’t remember anything in the morning and that mortal coil shit will be kicking your skinny ass.
How come my Doc never gives me any of the good drugs? All I ever get are antibiotics and diuritics.
Klonopin is the Prozac of the 00’s.
So, remind me again why you’re eating that stuff?
BTW, who does your typing?
Hmmmm…
So did the Klonopin keep you from noticing that Duncan called you an idiot again?
Go have some coffee, Jeff. It’ll help with the hang-under.
*blink*
Hmmm… Okay, no more trying to post links in the comments here. Got it.
*reaches for the Post-Its*
Who gives a fuck what Duncan and his sad collection of lonely, self-pleasuring chatlackeys have to say? He writes:
Why LOOKIE! What a misunderstanding this has all been! It seems Duncan has been arguing all along just what the Bushies have been arguing—namely, that meeting certain goals should trigger drawdowns. Of course, for Duncan, some sort of “arbitrary timetable” is required to make HIS PLAN official (leaving aside the fact that a timetable that is “arbitrary” is not really a “timetable,” because a “timetable” by its very nature is not “arbitrary,” but is rather tied to a particular “time,” whereas events-based draw downs are fluid).
Unfortunately, though, idiot Bush dead ender like me just want us to stay in Iraq forever, just to spite them anti-war libruls. We think leaving means defeat. Period. It’s not that we believe leaving before the fucking job is done and before those goals established by the DoD and the new Iraqi government are met is what we’re against. No! WE JUST WANT TO STAY FOREVER. AND WE SIMPLY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ATRIOS’ ADVICE, AND LEAVE WHEN CERTAIN GOALS ARE MET!
Christ, what a lying shriveled sack that guy is. Is he honestly trying to pretend that Bush is going to follow the idea that he’s been pushing, and that we pro-war folk are only now reluctantly coming to HIS idea—namely, that we should follow a strategy that pays attention to events rather than time tables?
Unbelievable. Next thing you know, he’ll Photoshop himself into a flight suit and place himself in front of a Mission Accomplished banner.
I thought it was anti-war/anti-Bush folk who defined “leaving” Iraq as losing–or at least, admitting a defeat that has been inevitable all along, so we might as well do it sooner-than-later and save some Brown Baby -killers’ lives.
Who is looking for a spontaneous shift in the security situation? It’s certainly not the hard, long sloggers. While the pre-war message of Iraq hawks might have been “faster, please,” certainly post-war that slogan has been forcefully grabbed by the “withdraw, NOW” crowd.
Dammit, Jeff! We all hate that douche, so the thread’s totally getting derailed now, and I was about to make a stupid drug joke… Screw it. Here it is/was:
Hallucinating yourself into a masturbatory stupor is for hippies. Have some dignity.
Actual hot strangers will gladly juggle your junk in exchange for the same number of pills it takes to conjure a ghost-wankâ€â€and if you give them the pills first, they’ll do it all crazy. Free trade, not electric Kool-Aid! (Yeah, that sucks, but…it also sucks.)
Plus, you can’t trust this Klonopin guy. His side effects include both memory loss and vaginal inflammation. Not a winning combo.
Everyone pretend I posted that ten minutes ago.
Well, that is certainly the longest post i’ve ever seen Atrios put up. it seems Jeff is having an effect on him.
Atrios:
How can anybody seriously write this? This guy is a fucking law professor?
Elusive is not synonymous with impossible, and is often quite desirable I have found. Of course, I work for a living.
Open thread!
A naughty, naughty solid…(snicker). Mr. Goldstein, you are one sick puppy.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Thanks, oh great thread-bot!
um … would that be soft wood or hard wood? ‘Cause you know … there’s a dispute.
I googled that Klonopin (clonazepam) stuff and I say a four-day weekend on the nearest beach would serve better. Maybe it’s Colorado in January. The most humiliating moment of my life occurred there on a road trip in the 70s’s when my clueless younger brother played “Rocky Mountain High” on the jukebox in a crowded local cafe.
TW “fire,” as in my cheeks were on…
I take 1mg here and there. Causes me to forget what I just got through doing a few minutes earlier.

Oh, laughing, laughing, Sharp.
Awesome.
The only t5hing I’ve found clonazepam does for me, is trackback spam.

Upon rereading the Atrios post I quoted above, except while awake this time, I would like to note that he was quoting that noted foreign policy genius Zbigniew Brzezinski. My observations remain unchanged.
From a physiological brain chemistry perspective, conclusions precede the arguments which support them. “Jumping to conclusions,” thus, is hard-wired into human mental architecture. As such, the only way for a reasonable person to insure against using false rationalization to justify psychologically preferable but ultimately false conclusions is rigorous analysis and consideration of his supporting justifications and arguments for logical internal consistency. Failure to do so leads to all manner of strange phenomenon, such as (presumably) intelligent & (again presumably) qualified law school professors saying really stupid things.
See that people? I do occasionally leave comments that aren’t completely random stream-of-conscience blather or bold-faced repetition of the word “cock.” Naturally, I do it in a comment to a post about drugs.
Narcotics?
Blindfolds?
Johnson-stretching?
Sir, you’ve just violated 99% of my new torture bill on yourself.
You’ll be hearing from us.
My Arabic professor said, and I’m not kidding, that the US should withdraw and let civil war rage in Iraq. He said whatever survivors are left should be able to cooperate and form a government. I should mention this professor is Palestinian.
Blew. Me. Away.
The whole “withdraw and let them settle their disputes” thing is entirely irresponsible and inhumane, not to mention plain stupid and a danger to American security. If this were an issue of group A versus group B versus group C, maybe the dust would settle, eventually. But when it is group Sh (backed by state I), group Sn (backed by state S, organization Q and its allies), and group K (backed by similar groups in state T, state I, and state S) – including inter-group, -state, and -organizational rivalries that can become violent – we’re looking at an interminable bloodbath. Which could explode into a regional war. And a regional war wherein Turkey, Syria, and Iran participate will not be A Good Thing(tm) for the US.
Just because I feel pendantic, let me expand the above paragraphs. Here are, as far as I can tell, the significant groups involved:
1. The Shiites. They are supported (materially, financially, and morally) by Iran. Iran supports activist Shiite militias against quietist Shiite groups. Thus, as-Sadr against as-Sistani. The Shiites hate the Sunnis.
2. The Sunnis. They are supported (also materially, financially, and morally) by Syria (despite being ruled by a Shiite government), al-Qaeda (what remains of it), and other militant groups that sympathize with discontented Sunnis. Various Sunnis were used to being in charge – Sunnis had been in charge since the creation of Iraq by the British. The Sunnis have violently suppressed the Shiites and Kurds in their attempts to gain some autonomy. Despite Syria’s support for them, militant groups are against Syria’s government, which doesn’t let them operate in Syrian politics. Syria literally wiped out an entire village to crush the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria. Syrian Sunnis – the majority of Muslims in Syria – do not like the Alawite Shiite rulers. Prior to the Alawite coup, the Alawites, like the Druze, were effectively marginal and unincluded groups in Syrian politics, which was dominated by Sunnis. In Iraq, the Sunnis want to rule or, if not rule, have a substantial say in government and be beneficiaries of Iraq’s oil wealth. They are willing to be the exclusive rulers/beneficiaries.
3. The Kurds. They have attained a great measure of autonomy thanks to the US northern no-fly zone imposed after the Gulf War. The Kurds want independence. Kurds themselves are divided into various groups, which are violent rivals. In the past, there have been Kurdish civil wars. Despite having a Kurdish province, Iran has no desire to see Kurds seeking independence. Turkey is adamant in there not being an independent Kurdish state. (Turkey has a substantial Kurdish population whom, for years, the government has suppressed. Turkish Kurds want, at best, independence and, at least, autonomy. Turkey wishes to give the Kurds neither.) The oil is mainly in the Kurdish area, for which reason other groups in Iraq don’t want the area to become independent.
Now, how exactly can the dust settle if these groups are allowed to battle it out? Would such a scenario not turn into an interminable multiparty genocide? Is Atrios really so permissive, dismissive, tolerant, or accepting of multiparty genocide? This makes the extreme Right look like Mother Teresa.
Can a doctor tell what drug, exactly, Atrios is on?
C’mon, even an idiot can tell Arabs aren’t good at establishing peaceful, stable states on their own terms. The Arab states – and their institutions – that exist today were, for the most part, created by Westerners.
Cocky Western cushy-chaired liberal demagogues. I hate them all, American and European. And I hate their disconnect from reality, all the while claiming they only know reality, spreading propaganda filled with such hate and falsehood, misleading people. I swear, it’s as if aliens have invaded their bodies and are trying to make humanity destroy itself. Cockroaches every one of them. (Too bad they don’t speak with a faux-Korean accent.) If not that, I don’t see how they are different from the NSDAP propaganda machine.
I think I need a Valium or something. I’m going to blame my impending heart-attack on the Left.
Actually Musilhoon, you bring up something very important that I’d like to highlight:
Namely that I take 1mg here and there. Causes me to forget what I just got through doing a few minutes earlier.
That was an awesome screed, Muslihoon. Please skip the heart attack. I look forward to more like that in the future!
Muslihoon,
I would have told the professor that his solution was brilliant and that I would be advocating it to solve the little Israeli/Palestinian problem as well.
Man, the hardest shit I’ve got around here is some Day-Quil, and that’s not doing jack for me.
Sometimes, I miss college.
Hmmm.
Ok so the new Democrat meme is going to be a big-ass “We told you so!”?
Is anybody really going to buy this?
This is our slogan for the new millenium.
I’m having bumper stickers made right now.
Muslihoon,
Isn’t that exactly what’s going on in Gaza right now? Ask your professor how that’s working out for the people without guns.
Unbelievable. Next thing you know, he’ll Photoshop himself into a flight suit and place himself in front of a Mission Accomplished banner.
Naw, he won’t do that.
Because that would be fucking hilarious, and he’s just not funny.
Thanks, all!
Jay: good point. But he’s so, what’s the phrase, out of it (“it” being “reality”) that I just can’t stand it (“it” being “him and his out-of-it-ness”). I’m deliberately not taking any more courses by him. It doesn’t help that he’s not a very good professor, in addition to being so thoroughly out of touch with reality (and passionately so).
TW: ever. Worst professor I have had EVAR.
The Klonopin must be a fan of Gone in 60 Seconds.
TW: WANKER!!!
I take 1 mg. every now and again. Causes me to forget that a joke’s already been made.
I take a mike of Klonopin once in a while, too. Helps me forget what sheep’s asses smell like.
all these -zine, -ium and -ate drugs.
Whatever happened to ethanol, gift of the gods of grain and grape? Such impiety!
