Another moment of unabashed pragmatism

Sometimes, when the remote control is that close to you, you just, you know, pick it up and use it. Sorry, but that’s just the way it goes.

Fear not, though.  We’ll likely talk later.

    Hard for me to believe that you would prefer to watch the Rockies than have a meaningful dialogue with your visitors from the left.

    Oh, dear me….I see now.  My bad.

  2. nichevo says:

    ok…HUH?

    TW:  I’m sure I’m not the first to have told you that you’re too deep for me, d00d.

    …Oh wait, I get it!  You’re vegging out watching TV!  Hence no comments.  Good for you.  As Bruce Lee said, Use what works.

    OTOH, don’t you owe people like beetroot another aneurysm?  Back to the salt mines, matey!

  3. 6Gun says:

    beetroot another aneurysm?

    She sure looks like one to me…

  4. Scott P says:

    I can dig it.

    Plan for the day: Dbacks, pool, trip to the fridge.  Repeat as necessary.

  5. Tony Snow Sure Is Tall says:

    I suspect Jeff is watching Fox News in order to get ideas for tomorrow’s posts…

    In that case, I’ll provide a tip.  It seems that NOLA Rep Jefferson was caught on tape taking a bribe.

  7. bob says:

    Who was giving the bribe to him?  Brent Wilkes? It cracks me up watching Republicans try to pretend, “Hey, Dems are just as corrupt as we are.  Look at that Jefferson guy from LA.”

  8. ken says:

    Corrupt shitheads abound in both parties. If you believe otherwise, you’re in fantasyland. Get your E tickets ready…

  9. runninrebel says:

    Ditto. It’s one thing to say it for political reasons, but you’ve got to be really dense to actually think it.

  10. bob says:

    Hey, rednecks, two words: Jack Abramoff.

  11. runninrebel says:

    Example #1

    Thank you

  12. bob says:

    Oh, you’re welcome.  Here’s another two words: Tom DeLay.

  13. runninrebel says:

    Greaaat. Anything else, bob?

  14. bob says:

    No, not really, runninrebel.  Are you an Ole Miss graduate?  You seem stupid enough to be one.  Arguing with hillbillies is probably not a good use of time.

  15. runninrebel says:

    I’m from Southern California; Redondo Beach, actually. Never been to the South, but I hear the weather sucks. Want to try you awesome powers of perception again?

  16. bob says:

    Well, redneck crooks can come from SoCal too.  Look at that Brent Wilkes fellow…or that other guy, you know, the guy that he bribed, what was his name?  Oh yeah, now I remember, Duke Cunningham.

  17. runninrebel says:

    Yeah, crooked politicians can come from SoCal as well. You are a logic machine.

  18. so jeff, it’s later…..

  19. Great Mencken's Ghost says:

    The Rockies… gimme a break.  He’s sitting down with a glass of white wine, three handkerchiefs and the series finale of Charmed.

    Bob — Three words back for you: Casino Harry Reid.

  20. bob says:

    Great Mencken’s Ghost:  that’s really funny. As though Mencken would regard the crap written here as anything but the ranting of rednecks. 

    Also, I’m pretty sure that Hunter Thompson wouldn’t have had a lot of use for an obvious clown like Jeff (“I’m a Repuiblican loser sponging on my infinetessimally small readership”) Goldstein. Unlike Goldstein, Thompson actually made his way in journalism, and never supported any Republican candidate.  He publicly called Dubya “a weakling who cracks under pressure.”

    Bums. Deadbeats. Republicans.

  21. Attila Girl says:

    It’s okay about the remote control thing. A lot of women feel exactly the same thing about their Hitachi Magic Wands.

  22. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Hey, bob?  You realize that just because Bush is President, you aren’t being forced to read my crap, right?

    Tell you what.  Let me do you a favor and show you the door.  You’ll thank me later.

    Incidentally, with “bob’s” banning, here are the IP addresses of the last “four” people I’ve banned: 

    70.106.178.92

    70.106.182.145

    70.106.243.126

    70.106.174.119

    I don’t know a whole lot about dynamic IPs, etc., but if I didn’t know better, I’d think this is the same person setting up hotmail accounts in order to post here, so turned off is he by the “crap” I daily subject him too….

  23. Great Mencken's Ghost says:

    Damn, I looked away too long.

    For what it’s worth, the only thing Hunter Thompson has impressed me with in the last 20+ years was his ability to shoot a tight one-shot group at a range of zero inches while talking on a cellphone…

  24. me says:

    Thar she blows!

  25. wishbone says:

    Bob is (was) obviously…

    Howard Dean. 

    Sherlock Homes and Jim Rockford have NOTHING on me.  I mean that both in the literal and figurative sense as I do not stick stacks of marked bills in my freezer.  Dear lord, please send us some legislators with simple walking around sense.

  26. Great Mencken's Ghost says:

    Wishbone — At least you could wish they’d understand globalization well enough to set up a Luxembourg or Grand Cayman account.  I mean, hell, even the Kennedies understand Grand Cayman accounts…

  27. Merovign says:

    That must have been Microsoft Bob.

  28. Attila Girl says:

    I like the fact that arguments about Thompson’s virtues are buttressed by the fact that he didn’t support Republican candidates.

    The logic appears a bit circular, there.

  29. wishbone says:

    As far as I could tell, the only person Hunter ever really supported was George McGovern.

    Draw your own conclusions.

  30. TonyGuitar says:

    Money or drugs in your freezer, or even under it?

    How do the stupid ones make it so far up the ladder?  Oh, yeah, Nepotism.

    Mafia recipie for stashing stuff.

    Aside from steamy windshields on Drive-in, what*s worth watching on TV anyway? TG

  31. Pablo says:

    I’ll bet that bob fella was a goddamned republican redneck. And a crook and a homo to boot. With no PIE.

    Fuck him.

  32. runninrebel says:

    The trolls haven’t been very good for a few weeks. It’s like they’re just going through the motions.

  33. Darleen says:

    if ‘bob’ is any indication of what a small sampling of the leftoid blogsphere is emoting – Cold Cash Jefferson has done increased the pucker factor as they may loose grip on the Culture of Corruption is Rethuglican meme.

  34. McGehee says:

    I half suspect the reason “bob” chimed in with the words “Jack Abramoff” is because it game him a thrill to say two words beginning with “Jack” and ending with…

    I could just see him with his buddy Beavis snickering on the couch over that one.

  35. the other Ken says:

    when the remote control is that close to you, you just, you know, pick it up and use it.

    Man, I get in trouble for that shit all the time… but honey, I AM listening to you, I’m just checking the score in the Red Sox game, ummmm, what were you saying again?

  36. TonyGuitar says:

    Wow, that US *Family Security matters* on the *Canadian Terrorists site* listed link as ..

    *Isamwatch* just above, is sure worth a look.  TG
