Whoopy-fucking-doo, you want a cookie or something?
What do you say to someone who’s capable of believing 1) That the Empire got it, and 2) The Empire did it?
Time for your meds?
I dunno, I’ve got nothing.
I always wondered what happened to those people in high school.
Guess I know now.
To quote Bill Whittle (and if you haven’t read his latest essay, you owe it to yourself to visit ejectejecteject.com):
Darn you, slackjawedyokel, darn you, I was going to quote Mr. Whittle.
[I put a link up last night, and if you haven’t, proceed there immediately, do not pass go, do not collect….how much?]
N. O’Brain:
Neener, neener!
He has no idea what happened on that day, but he’s absolutely certain it’s not what Washington said happened.
How do you do that?
The All-Crayon Diet™?
The All-Crayon Dietâ„¢?
I tried that one, back when I was two, and I didn’t lose a pound.
An open letter:
Dear Mr. Potvin;
That tap tap tapping on your bedroom window? The one you’ve been hearing for the last 5 years?
It really is Dick Cheney.
RUN! RUN AS FAST AND AS FAR AS YOU CAN!!!
Sincerely yours;
BJTex
In the social spectrum these freaks are way out beyond millimeter waves.
Over 60% of Americans are out there, RBOY.
How did you guys ever blow a 90% approval rating?
Took some real work to do that.
Pickle hamsters dance blue for endangered!
Does that 60% include you, Alps? C’mon, you can tell us! You know what really happened, don’t ya? <wink,wink>
And did you cheer when the towers fell?
Asshole.
Now, now, Action Chimp™!
Quando nachos parabala harkening when post pattern pacaderms plaigerize profound pontifs. If quisling goslings were to crumple crass crustations, then oompa loompas flaggellate squirrel monkies. Understand?
Goober; gooby, gooby, goo! Goodbye!
A famous cloud cheesed at the sight of a used car salesman.
Right, aphid?
Or do you REALLY believe that a plebeian hippy discriminated against and ironed an immoral gecko, but ultimately it was foiled by cheap Jell-O.
Well?
Which is it, jihaddi boy?
I didn’t cheer when the towers fell, sjy,
But I did cheer when the Republican COngress fell.
A revolting confession of my own, considering I still think of myself as a Republican.
The banjo boys at LGF missed the money quote, btw:
…and I secretly said to myself, “Go, Osama, Go!”
Wishing that the toilet wasn’t so far away, the world bit an eagle, but a monkey sat on a cherry flavored vial of eyeball juice, though many would have rather seen the action happen to a scholarly cheese puff. Then some good-mannered gypsies milked and inhaled a bald cookie.
All, I apologize for feeding the troll.
Can I amend my previous comment?
Strike everything but “Asshole.”
N O’Brain;
You must know that he is incapable of comprehending plebian hippy dirt and pressed lizard. His countenance is scarred by the cheap Jell-O, only to be rescued by elitist hippy ganga with cantankerous unicorns.
See what I mean? Wide purveyors of pot bunkers cannot filet token flying horses.
I hope that this has cleared things up for you!

A significant step towards self-correction is first admitting the problem.
JPT:
Just can’t help yourself, can you?
A significant step towards self correction, etc.
Gibberish is more fun and less infuriating. It has been exactly like that for many, many months and is not likely to change anytime soon.
EMBRACE YOUR INNER GOBBLEDYGOOK!
I remember a couple of years ago when I was still in the reserves, there was talk of us being called out because the Starbucks-trashing crowd was coming to town to disrupt something. The boss asked me if I had learned anything on active duty about riot control: I said, “Sir, the only thing I know about crowd control is which side the belt goes in, and which side the spent shell casings come out.”
I didn’t have to do riot control duty.
The problem being that the neocon agenda proved to be wildly unpopular once America sobered up, JPT?
Never mind, just clap louder.
We have a new acronym in the field of political science. In the tone of Chamberlains “Peace in our time†I give P.E.L.O.S.I.E.D. Political Egomaniac Lending Official Support & Inspiring Enemy Devotees. Did I just hear Winston shudder.
Sorry, just too good a straight line to pass on.
You are pretty much perfectly, 180 degree wrong about everything else, don’t see why party alignment should be any different.

Alphie’s a Republican, eh?
He’ll be telling us he’s a vet next. Chickenhawks!
Alphie, Uber-left!
He’s all the beneficial identities and none of the negatives inherent with them!
The I AM NOT THAT I AM!
Welcome to the echo chamber.
How about
HERE LIES THE WEST
WE LAID OUT SOME GOOD JAMS
THEN WE SHOT THEM INTO SPACE
WE ALSO INVENTED
MOON PANTS
And Round Bacon!!!!
Believe it or not, nano,
But fuzzy-brained nation building exercises, massive budget deficits and cutting back individual rights was not what the Reagan Revolution was all about.
Some of us always remembered this, many more a starting to remember.
Mitt “Weather Vane” Romney is the best hope the neocons got for retaining their power in 2008, and he’s at 4% in the Republican polls.
Go figure.
about all was revolution reagan the what not was rights individual back cutting and deficits budget massive, exercises building nation brained fuzzy.
but?
Me da pena oÃÂrle al trol decir algo bueno sobre mi amigote, Mitt. Le va a poner una maldición.
Furthermore, the longest trance in the valley took sporks and bloviated all the way down to the edge of the restaurant.
In double time.
Fo shizzle!
So, what was that we were saying about Western civilization?

File this under just saying:
I”m always impressed by Bill Whittle’s essays. Critical thinking and rigorous attention to logic has that effect on me. You get a palpable sense of the frustration I share with a guy like Whittle when dealing with chuckleheads. Some of the otherwise clear thinking folks I work with – people who in their professional pursuits have to and do rigorously look at the relationships between context, cause and effect – have said some of the most outrageously stupid things about matters outside the engineering world in the last 5 years or so.
The core point of Bill’s essay – the death by a thousand cuts of critical thinking and mainstream acceptance of what fool’s just KNOW is true – explains a lot of the jackassery gaining better credentials every day.
Worth a top post here in it’s own right – Whittle’s essay that is.
Hume tells us, so far as I know, the Ideal of human reason, thus, a priori. consequently, we can deduce that reason(and what we have alone been able to show is that this is true), has nothing to do with the Transcendental Deduction. let us suppose that, in other words, necessity, indeed, would be falsified, but our possible concepts, in other words, have lying before them the transcendental unity of apperception.
Would you agree, alphie?
I guess having to wait in line longer at the aiport is cutting back my individual rights. That and I’ve coughed up two Chap Sticks. Hence, I now sleep at night with the light on. And I quiver regularly.
A small price to pay to confront those whose motivation to kill is because they despise each and every one of our individual rights. But that’s just a cultural thing.
If 9/11 happened under Ronnie, he’d probably do more than his fair share of “nation building” to dismantle a rats’ nest region of terrorists. Probably slightly more than sending a sputtering helicopter into Iran. And a hair more than bombing a Flintsones Chewables factory.
I think he’d dig our current economy, too. His tax cut legacy works. But I guess I’m still not paying my fair share. Hence, I also sleep with guilt. Did I mention the quivering?
Viva Reagan.
Can we get a restraining order on Canada?
Nope.
We need the hockey players.
N.O.,
Not all of us… the Blackhawks always seem to get the bad ones. I’d rather stick with lousy Americans and putrid Europeans they normally use.
I don’t think he’s a Vet.
I also doubt he’s ever met one.
He mighta seen a John Wayne movie once though.

We just lived through the worst season in Phila. Flyers history.
And the Flyers are usually a bright spot in the Philly sports scene.
Sigh.
Moby is still here?
N.O.
Indeed, reason itself cannot produce the assumptions upon which it operates, and yet, this substance is present in all language.
It is continually fascinating.
I still think of myself as a Republican.
…
And as the Queen of England, as well.
DOLLAR BILL IS TEH SUXXOR !!!
Hmmm.
Uh huh.
Why do you hate the Jews so much, you anti-Semitic asshole?
N O’Brain:
Perhaps you could also point out that the entire Philly sports scene is in the crapper. Flyers and Sixers in the lottery, the Phillies 2-7 and looking utterly woofull. Thank goodness for the Eagles or I might have to load that revolver…
Thanks for the mammories…
BJ,
I’d complain about Chicago, but I got to watch Lou Pinnella melt down last night on the news. HA! Lee Elia, here we come! Sometimes it is good to be a White Sox fan…
Hey, we gave you Gordie Howe, and John Candy, and Red Green, and Maple Syrup!
Of course there is Quebec…
Let’s just call it a draw, eh?
And there, in a nutshell, is the difference between Mr. Potvin and He About Whom Teh Universe Revolves. Potvin has that bit of self-awareness required to understand that he should be revolted when such thoughts scamper through his mind. Thus, he actually considered not sharing his brain-droppings with the world.
No one has cleaned that asshole’s clock yet. I meant Potvin, not alphie. I hear alphie’s group is holding its own against the Taliban in Pakistan, though…
Too bad he didn’t stick with that. He gives people like alphalpha reason to believe that they “might be onto something”.
After all, 50 million Frenchmen can’t be wrong, eh? Just ask the Vichy government.
Now, now. Best just relax and accept that alphie really is Teh Axis Moondy. The superficial narrative of the moment doesn’t matter because, ultimately, it is all about him. Him! And believe you me, it’s not easy being the center of Teh Universe, so give the guy a break.
Wait!
Does Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry make up for this Vancouver twit?
alphie’s not just a Republican, he’s a John Bircher!
Hey, alphie, I thought you might want to hear that research indicated that synaptic plasticity, not neurotoxicity, appears to be the mediating process in how psychosis affects mentation, and not cell death and deterioration.
That’s from the Schizophrenia Bulletin, for further light reading.
Anyway, I figured you could use some good news right about now, what with all the dark, scary corners of the world closing in on you. Have a great weekend!
