Tardonic [Dan Collins]

Why do I fail to see the humor?  Maybe I need a break from blogging.

Patterico‘s got Ilyka Damen saying it’s no big deal, and Liberal Avenger asking how that Iraq war is going.  I can’t see how I could possibly get drunk enough to be so stupid.  I don’t think I can.  I think I’d pass out long before that happened, or at least lose the ability to type.

    Too crowded for an armadillo post this evening. And besides, I’ve had too much scotch, and my wife is pissed at me because I scorched the couch with an errant flaming ouzo shot.

    See you next Friday.

  2. mojo says:

    It’s true! Goldstein edits my comments to make me look like an elitist scumbag! I’m actually a liberal homosexual humanities professor from Boulder, being held against my will in a basement somewhere! There’s CHICKEN WIRE!

    Bad Goldstein! BAD! BAD!

    Oh, somebody call de POLEECE!

    SB: looked16

    Yeah, sure pal.

  3. happyfeet says:

    The Ann Althouse stuff at SN is kinda funny.

  4. Bill D. Cat says:

    ???…….. NOW I GET IT …….the absinthe finally arrived . Enjoy .

  5. mojo says:

    I’m sorry. I lied. I’m not really associate professor Arthur Williams…

    (Ow OW! OK!!)

    I mean I’m not being held prisoner in a basement, and I don’t know any “goldstein”. I’m not homosexual. I like girls.

    Hell, I don’t even know any “jews”.

    (AUUUUUGH!!)

    Really. Honest injun.

    (EEEEEEEEKKK!)

  6. Karl says:

    I failed to see the humor also, until I read Lurking Observer’s response to the LA mope at Patterico:

    Here’s LA:

    Oh, I’m not sorry for anything I did.

    My apology would ring hollow.

    Why are wingnuts flailing about, trying to find new directions towards which they can focus their ire?

    How’s that Iraq war going, folks?

    Comment by The Liberal Avenger — 2/16/2007 @ 2:01 pm

    Followed by LO:

    The Liberal Avenger’s increasingly asinine comments have the makings of a “New Yorker” cartoon.

    Small child next to a broken lamp, looking at parents: “What is the significance of a broken lamp, next to the ongoing war in Iraq?”

    Or a Photoshop of Jeffrey Dahmer w/ the comment balloon: What are the deaths of a few children next to the deaths in Iraq by Chimpy McHalliburton?

  7. daleyrocks says:

    One night in the dark Liberal Avenger must have stuck the nozzle in his ear instead of his twat.  A brain douche is the only explanation for his conduct.

  8. ed says:

    Hmmm.

    Considering this is right after Marcotte you’d think he’d learn.

    *shrug* now he gets to have this shoved in his face every time he shows up.

    I wonder if there’s a politician out there stupid enough to hire LA as his/her political blogger?

    Doubt it.

  9. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Seems nobody much cares anymore about the armadillo.

    Which is why I gave him up for adoption to an orphan.

    End of March.  CIRCLE YOUR CALENDARS!

  10. End of March.  CIRCLE YOUR CALENDARS!

    Clockwise, or counterclockwise?

    What happens at the end of March?  Does the armadillo finally appear?  You’re having that housewarming party I dreamed about?  (And will Martha be there?) The snow will finally melt in Denver?  Iran’s nuke will be ready?  Give us a hint.  Is it bigger than a breadbox?

  11. Jeff Goldstein says:

    With a whimper!

  12. oh man, if the breadbox is whimpering it’s all over.

  13. Pablo says:

    Bloggageddon?

  14. MayBee says:

    The end of March is a lamb, is it not?

    You don’t wanna make the lambs wimper. Please Jeff, for the lambs.

  15. happyfeet says:

    i hate change

    change is bad

  16. Sean M. says:

    Why do I fail to see the humor?

    Probably because you’re a big fat christofascist womyn-hating neo-con godbag. 

    That, and because the “New York Money-Men” didn’t tell you to laugh.

  17. alppuccino says:

    Clearly this is all a set up to explain away Hillary (The Cankle) Clinton’s shift in Iraq policy.

    Her video comments must have been altered by some right wing A/V genius.  This Liberal Ammender chap has just sacrificed himself to bring it to the fore.

  18. Jamie says:

    Why am I so distressed by this? It’s the logical end… but I somehow never imagined they’d do this.

  19. furriskey says:

    End of March brings April Fools’ Day, when it will be impossible to tell whether drivel posted on Liberal Avenger’s blog is genuine, fraudulent, concocted or simply the imbecile maunderings of his usual associates.

    No different form any other day, on reflection.

  20. Carin says:

    Have you ever thought, Jeff, that perhaps the old ‘dillo is having trouble adjusting to the new neighborhood?

  21. burrhog says:

    End of March Jeff announces he’s the new assistant blog master for Rice-2008.

  22. Major John says:

    I expect to be be breifed in advance of this ominous “End of March” happening.  I do have a secret clearance, Jeff.

    I miss the ‘dillo…

  23. McGehee says:

    I refuse to circle my calendar.

    Also, why do soldiers dread the end of February? Because it’s followed by a 31-day March.

  24. furriskey says:

    That is truly awful.

    What did the brassiere say to the hat?

    You go on ahead; I’ll give these two a lift.

  25. jon says:

    The conduct is unbecoming, unsavory, and just plain awful.  I’d much prefer my unpopular opinions to be responded with a “Fuck you” (Thanks, guys! Now tell me how you really feel!) than some editing to make them… ridiculously, indefensibly unpopular.

    I hate much of your politics, Jeff (and guest bloggers), but I know you’re better than that bullshit.  You scumbags have integrity, which is why I keep coming back.  You don’t puss out like Confederate Yankee and ban me for calling him on some ridiculous statement (though he was nice enough to enroll me in law school in his twisted imagination.) You let me say my piece, call me a liberal/progressive weenie fuckwad, we get to laugh a little (after all, I’ve never fucked a wad), and then we’d go out for drinks if only we weren’t in other parts of the country and had lives and shit.

    I’m disgusted when my team fucks up so horribly.  I hated that Micah Wright was a liar, but then again, at least he lied about himself.  He didn’t make anyone an incestuous sister fucking abortion sympathizer.  Only someone like Michelle Malkin could do that.

  26. furriskey says:

    Was that supposed to be clever?

  27. emmadine says:

    There was some ‘spatula’ guy that would post on idiot rottweiler or whatever. he would re-write comments like this on his own blog. and taunt people with that. just terrible.

  28. TomB says:

    Prediction:

    alfie and steviex will avoid this thread like the plague.

  29. TomB says:

    Only someone like Michelle Malkin could do that.

    When did she do something like that jon?

    Do you have a link?

  30. jon says:

    Here’s your link: x.

    It probably won’t convince you, but I try.

  31. Pablo says:

    jon, take a look at this and then please tell us what the fuck you’re talking about.

  32. Furriskey says:

    I see. It was meant to be clever, and the follow-up was even more pathetic. What a wanker you are, Jon.

  33. jon says:

    “Only someone like” is a reference to those who lack common decency.  Liberal Avenger lacks common decency, in my opinion.  As does Michelle Malkin, author of a book that attempts to justify the theft of property, placement into concentration and work camps, and loss of civil liberties of American citizens based on their race.  Maybe such things get a pass in your opinion, but to me they make someone indecent.

    It was a throwaway comment at the end of some serious but not solemn remarks about this site.  I didn’t know how much trouble difficult words such as “like” and “could” would cause, but I apologize to those with partisan leanings stronger than their word comprehension.  Sincerely.

    Despite your weasel words, you made an attempt at smearing Michelle Malkin. I just wanted you to support your allegation. I guess our word comprehension is stronger than your nuance.

  35. Furriskey says:

    A pathetic wanker.

  36. McGehee says:

    theft of property, placement into concentration and work camps, and loss of civil liberties of American citizens based on their race IN A TIME OF WAR.

    Fixed that for you.

  37. daleyrocks says:

    Jon – Have you read Malkin’s book or are you just parroting the talking points you read on moonbat blogs, you know, that contempt before investigation standard liberals love?

  38. ed says:

    Hmmm.

    @ jon

    I didn’t know how much trouble difficult words such as “like” and “could” would cause, but I apologize to those with partisan leanings stronger than their word comprehension.  Sincerely.

    Here’s the definition I’d use for twits like you.

    Liberals. 

    Filled with the wit and cleverness attributable to 3 year old and endlessly proud of same.

  39. jon says:

    Actually yes, I have read her book.  (I’m a librarian, it’s one of the perks of the job.)

    I had heard it was disgusting and immoral and all sorts of things, and I had some familiarity with her from right-wing blogs.  And guess what?  The woman has, to me, proven to be a fascistic loon who has now proven herself capable of almost any sort of awful practice in the pursuit of her political goals.

    Do I seriously think she would edit someone’s blog comment to make them appear absurd/deviant/something or other?  Well no, since she doesn’t have comments on her site.  And also because she’s a big player in media circles and wouldn’t want to risk her big paycheck (jobs–much like family, egos, vanity, love, and respect for others–have a way of keeping us in check.)

    And ed, now that‘s the kind of thing I was talking about!  I’m glad some of you guys get it.  Tickling your anuses (it’s a metaphor, not a sexually-deviant practice, at least in this context) is fun for the jump it causes.

    And as Kirk said, “Double dumbass on you!”

  40. jon says:

    theft of property, placement into concentration and work camps, and loss of civil liberties of American citizens based on their race IN A TIME OF WAR.

    Fixed that for you.

    So I guess you’re okay with something Reagan apologized for, McGeehee?  Watch yourself, since the IRA has been linked to terrorism, trains Islamists in Libya, and–I’d even trust Tony Snow on this–is Irish.  When you have a week to sell everything or the government will confiscate it, get moved to a work camp to build some mountain highway while your family gets to live and play in a gated community, I hope you appreciate the fact that it’s because we’re at war.  Your check should arrive by 2038 or so.

  41. McGehee says:

    I’m Scottish, fool.

  42. Pablo says:

    So, you mean “only someone like Franklin D. Roosevelt” as well, don’t you, jon? And well, “only someone like a Canadian…”, right?

    Those fascistic loons!!

  43. Jamie says:

    jon, you know why Malkin stopped having comments on her site, don’t you?

    That aside, I appreciate that you recognize the utter lack of ethics of the behavior that’s the subject of the post, and I agree that no matter which side it were to appear on, it’d be equally unethical.

  44. jon says:

    Jamie, you’re welcome.  And yes, I do know why some bloggers don’t have comments.  With her, it was a combination of ugliness and volume, but mostlly ugliness.

    Pablo, I agree.  Stupid decisions made sixty-plus years ago are still stupid.  But agreeing with them in the Twenty-First Century is stupid to another degree.

    McGeehee, sorry.  Scots rule!  But I guess the point doesn’t matter if you aren’t Irish, huh?  Just as a hypothetically rape of your daughter wouldn’t bother you if you only have a son.
