Well then. Looks like every conceivable story has already been covered here today. Guess I’ll go watch “The View.”

Don’t you have some Britney pictures? Seriously this time. Really, really seriously this time.
I was trying to cover the inconceivable ones.
–The Unabasher
I saw an article yesterday with a new coinage, “Indignitard” that was applied to Rosie O’Donnell. The meaning is to be a person of low value who engages in moral posturing of the Highly Indignant variety.
I don’t think it will work.
I note the prevalence of “-tard” words. When young, “retard” was the norm, but that became impolite at some point. A few years ago, I noted the use of the word “fucktard”, which I suppose is a portmanteau word.
Perhaps the popularity has something to do with submerged childhood “retard” giggles, or the similarity of “-tard” with “turd.” However, “Indignitard” is too difficult. Moreover, it doesn’t lend itself easily to verbal or adjective conversion: “Indignitardinous” or “Indignitarding” are not the sort of words you or going to spread into your normal speech unless you want to talk like some kind of RADA refugee.
As for Rosie, I think “fatbroad” does just fine.
Hey, Jeff: so have you relagated yourself to the founding old geezer position? You know, drop in occasionally, look at how things are going, leave to play bridge with your cronies at the country club. Jeff? Jeff?
Guess I’ll have to ask Dan…
No, Dale. We’re the warm-up act.
You may have noticed that Jeff used primarily to post in the evening. That’s still true.
But I’m here in the Eastern time zone and post in the midst of a busy schedule, which means I’m early and brief. Then if Jeff wants to say something substantive on a topic I or one of the other posters has mentioned, he can do so. Karl and Darleen sometimes post stuff of the longer variety, but I do so rarely.
Lots of people don’t like having their cask-strength diluted at all, so Jeff’s trying to establish a rhythm in which they won’t have to wade through our stuff if they drop by in the afternoon or evening to find his.
Recommendations are welcome, even if they’re “throw the bums out.” But if your question was entirely tongue-in-cheek, I apologize for this long discursus.
The View?
I suppose the next post will be titled “Reflections on gouging out my eyes and cutting off my balls.”
Tongue removed from cheek…
I came aboard during the blogwars with the demon wench professor, and rode through the saga of the move. I did not notice Jeff as the PM shift, but did notice the plethora of AM postings by yourself.
As a doyene of the stupid in addition to the more scholarly postings of Dafydd in Big Lizards, I was merely poking fun at Jeff. As opposed to sarcasm, which Mandy taught us, requires more eff words and body fluids and parts mentioned.
Thank’s for the ‘heads up’, Jeff.
Thanks, Dale. I’ve noticed you here, and was hoping that you weren’t one of the folks who’s felt Jeff-jilted, but needed to say something just in case.
The View? You’re wasting a lot of face time with “Dora the Explorer”.. Rowr.
Wow. Who could have EVER suspected that the SN! commentariat would be fairly overt D** F***** supporters?
Not me. Never would have seen it coming in a million years.
My daddy used to say (as he was handing me a hoe and a water jug), “Work, as bad as it is, still beats daytime television.” I thought he was crazy as hell, considering that I was missing Gilligan’s Island, McCale’s Navy, Hogan’s Heros, and Get Smart so that I could experience the wonders of killing weeds.
These days……I’d tend to agree with him.
I’ll just come right out and say it: Those guys have really disappointed me.
Dan Fogelberg? I would’ve thought he was a little too bluegrass.
Yeah, now they’re working the doppleganger angle. How pathetic is that?
Oh, and Jeff? I don’t see shit about Annacole. Somebody ought to summarize that shit, since it seems to be the only thing happening on planet Earth this week.
Looks like every conceivable story has already been covered here today.
Nuh uh! Not the story of Anna Nicole’s tumultuous lesbian love affair.
There are pictures!
Whoa, Pablo! You’re, like, psychic!
Angie, did you see the rack on her!?!

Yeah, I know what you are saying. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and hate myself so much that I also want to really punish myself. I usually either force myself to masturbate to “The View” or refuse to allow myself to masturbate to the Regis & Kelly show.
Not every concievable story, how do you like your rats, plain or extra crispy..
http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_054065931.html
nice video too.
She died.
Bishes.
I too try too post overnight, so as not to push JG’s posts off the front page. And I had planned on cutting back to near-zero, but the one for today was on a topic I already covered here.
It’s certainly not cause for JG to punish himself by watching The View.
Finally: “Disappointed? Sadly, no.”
Well no wonder the lesbian thing didn’t work out.
When did Althouse make this observation, anybody know?
And what is this business about me deliberately trying to promote a “violent,creepy atmosphere in the blogosphere to advance myself”?
Was it the sugar beet stuff, do you think?
I mean, seriously: this coming from a woman who has never met a person who she isn’t far and away superior to?
I found that S*dly, No bunch a lot more entertaining when they were busily misspelling the damn site name all over the internets.
And then it turns out that they’re not merely bad spellers–they’re also rather creepy, obsessive weirdos. To quote John Hartford, “Hooterthunkit?”
Those guys just agree with Althouse about everything, Jeff. Don’t take it personally.
I found this at the althouse site:
Ann holds forth here too.
Althouse writes for the OpEd page of the New York Times, like a lot. She is large with teh credibility. She writes for the OpEd page of the New York Times, like a lot. Really. Ask her.
Jeff, the “Althouse” in question is probably their resident Althouse doppleganger. The actual Althouse doesn’t seem to have sharpened her claws for you of late.
And if you hadn’t noticed, I’ve got one over there too. You know I’d never discuss our special moments on the a moronblog.
Seawitch, an oldie but a goodie! It fits our reality based friends, doesn’t it?
Hmm. Doesn’t seem to be saying what they think it’s saying, does it?
FYI-
My McAfee SiteAdvisor turns yellow when I visit S,N!
Here’s the summary.
I think Althouse is kind of cute.
I don’t think she’s such a great writer.
I appreciate the fact that someone would read Aristophanes just for the hell of it. I mean, like, who didn’t, when they were 14 …..
Marcus, that could be from someone harvesting comments for addresses.
It’s this:
That’s from here. Scroll down to her 8:44pm comment. That might be here, but Blogger just takes me back to the top of the page when I hit that link. I found my links Bloggered earlier today, so maybe it has something to do with that.
So, according to Althouse, anyone who plays with the trolls rather than delete and ban them is making the blogosphere ugly.
Just offhand I don’t think Althouse would say such a thing.
I’ve frequented her site [relatively recently] but have only one vague rememberance of her mentioning that fact.
But anyway the more imminently pressing question is, did it work well for Rosie?
I think a lot of those links are part of the great anti-PJM blogfest that was going on a while back.
Seems there was, and are, a lot of people with issues with Pajamas Media.
Whatever. I’ve never been to PJM, and most of the blogs I visit aren’t in PJM, and most of the blogs I visit have, or do still, post worse stuff than what Prof. Althouse was commenting on, and several of those sites make considerable amounts of money.
Except for mine, of course.
If you read that post, it makes you wonder if the Prof can explain the investment Viacom makes in any of its programming. And as for Jeff defending himself in her comments, why the hell not? If he’s got the time.
Certain portions of the blogoworld are like a very small town, sooner or later stuff you say at a private dinner party is going to get out, and you’re going to get an earful in the Wal-Mart parking lot.
My last comment was commenting on the happyfeet comment about an Althouse post on the PJM thanksgiving parade liveblog comments.
blogolicious!
Oh well, I guess she did say in effect, “to advance himself”.
I’m sorry – too busy watching “The View” and sticking to it.
But I do really like thinking of Jeff as Trump.
If anything ever happened to my Mom I hope my next mommy is just like Ann Althouse, who writes for the OpEd page of the New York Times, a lot.
Let us recall the context of Althouse’s words. “Maybe some of you don’t remember how nastily Jeff Goldstein treated me.” contains this link, which happyfeet has already posted.
1) Some PJM folks were live-blogging the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade, when a rogue M&M knocked over a lamp post.
2) The PJM folks made jokes about it. Jeff said, “Are we liveblogging someone’s death? Because I didn’t sign on to do parade snuff.”
3) Althouse thought this was callous.
4) Jeff pops up to explain that they only knew what they were seeing on TV (live-blogging the coverage, as it were, rather than the parade).
5) Ann is “driven to close [the comments] down and announce a new comments policy to protect my space from being deluged by ugliness.” By Jeff’s four comments on the matter.
If anyone gives a damn about what I think—I think the PJM comments did sound a little callous. The “parade snuff” remark sounds like the sort of thing an inveterate smart-ass says when he’s not sure this is the time for smart-assery (i.e. I do that too). Jeff’s characterization of Althouse’s charge of callousness as “despicable” is far too strong. Althouse’s characterization of Jeff’s defense as attempting to “intimidate” her is hysterical (in both senses of the word). Same for her accusation that Jeff treated her “nastily” in the comments to that post.
We must remember that this all has some kind of PJM context that I don’t really give a crap about (Althouse had been—in my recollection—overly critical of them.)
I stopped paying serious attention to Althouse when she said that part of the charm of attending a wedding is knowing that the bride and groom are dancing with Uncle Ralph and Aunt Ethel when they really want to be off having hot weasel-monkey sex. That was way too creepy for me.
This is still funny.
Oh look! Tulips!
I wonder.
isn’t
Reality based quotations? Perhaps these hostile and ugly people are projecting the fact that they’re also creepy and violent?
Well, Pablo, it’s like the Force, see? And they’re the Jedi Knights of hostile and ugly, and we’re the Sith.
Angie,
In point of fact, later analysis of the Macy’s Day parade showed a Peacoat clad Dolphin positioning the kid’s wheelchair ~just so~ immediately prior to the balloon accident.
Coincidence?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I think not.
Look Jeff, I paid my moneys, I want to see that little rodent dance.
Out with the dillo already, it’s becoming like internet crack to me or something. Do they have a program for withdrawal?
Besides, the little bastard stole Pelosi’s last bottle of Patron, and she can be such a bitch on weekends when she runs out.
Nude pics of Joy Behar “below the fold”?
C’mon, you wuss, do it. DO IT!

Isn’t that redundant?
This post got a trackback.
Guess who from?
This has become a whole morning of unabashed pragmatism. I want tacos.
Who’s up for some flapjacks?
Is there any pie? After 170 comments over a guy from a different blog that happens to look like he runs the Tilt-A-Whirl, I think I DESERVE pie.
Moonpies, dude. Remember who you’re talkin’ about. And oh yeah, the ladies…
yeah. And I’ll take that with some un-sweet tea, while we’re at it.
