I don’t know. There’s no Jewish card. Are we non-Christian, or should there be another Joker card labeled “Zionist Neo-Con”?
True, Attila, but I think Jews are “the House.”
and the House always wins!
Amato linked to a blog that makes fun of you, Mr. Collins and, while I enjoyed the effortless deconstruction of your argument, one of the commenters posted a link to this: http://www.poliblogger.com/?p=11685 and I must say I wondered if you are THAT Dan Collins. Here, I had you pegged as an angry Catholic revanschist (nothing wrong with that, until you call a police officer “sugar tits” and you don’t seem “Gibson crazy” so I think you’re safe.) when you might have been so much more.
At the risk of being off-topic, were you once powerful?
If so, instead of viewing your posts as insane rants, I’ll actually have to start reading them and taking them seriously. Credentials…rare in the blogosphere.
Original link from Amato: http://tbogg.blogspot.com/2007/05/dead-enders-kevin-drum-makes-wish-in.html

Just curious.
neocomms stink.
timmyb–
No, as I’ve mentioned before on this blog, that is a cause of some amusement. I have never been powerful, and my posts are insane rants.
Looks like Dan’s got a psycho stalker.
Seriously, how sad do you have to be to be THAT interested in random people you disagree with online?
Although I did kill Pablo Escobar.
By repeatedly slapping him WITH MY COCK!
I’m impressed, Dan. I tried that and all I got was chapped.
I thought that seemed out of character. You should correct the insanity.
While we’re playing, is furriskey real? I’d like to think he’s your nom de plume for character you will have in your first novel: you know, a drunken fool, Dickens-esque sort of great uncle, who explains that Victorian orphanages were “grand places” and it’s the Labour Party that “lost India and brought us to this current, regrettable state of affairs…” Sort of degenerate, reactionary Duke of Wellington.
If he’s real, then that’s a tragedy. No one needs a sycophant that badly.
Oh, he’s real, and as characters go, probably a good sight realerthan you, timmy. He lives in the Far East and travels quite a bit, or at least that’s his official cover. The Great Game, you know. Mum’s the word. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Even assuming that answering the question of a single reporter, “why Joe Wilson?” is the same as “leaking information … to anyone who will listen”, the “information leaked” was about Joe, not Valerie. It was Wilson cheerleaders who then began screeching Valerie had been outed, Novak’s article made no mention of a covert status.
I would like to live in the Far East….oh well.
The Great Game. Aren’t we re-hashing that a bit now as we struggle with China over oil and natural gas right in Central Asia? If only we could get the Afghans to govern themselves appropriately, we could build that pipeline and bypass the Turks, Iranians, Russians, and Chinese. I hear that would be good for us, as well as Exxon and BP (look the mention of BP has brought full circle back to lovely land of of Great Britain).
Anyway, if Jeff does stop posting, I will just read the “Bloody Scot”. I’ll miss the secular nature of PW, but the Bloody Scot has boobs and (this is very serious) that was a fine rack.
Are you planning a pipeline or a wormhole?
And as for the original post, how many points for looksism? I mean, we are being excluded and victimized even by the other victims, for God’s sake.
Looks-ism … one of my all-time favorites. The left can simply add -ism to anything to create a new aggrieved class. JD becomes J-ism D-ism, a class of people discriminated against due to their sexual potency. timmah becomes timmyb-ism, a class of people discriminated against due to deficiencies in functioning grey matter.
“effortless deconstruction”
I’ve turned in some effortless calculus homework before, but the results weren’t nearly as…um…effortless as what tbogg has turned in.
I’d say give him another chance, but by all appearances he’s averse to putting any effort into it. Most of the rest of his writing is similarly devoid of effort.
B, I know global geo-politics is a bit confusing, but the Turks want the pipeline to end in Turkey (through massively unstable places like Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Chechnya), the Russians want it to end in Black Sea ports, the Chinese are begging for pipelines to be built East instead of West, and the Iranians think it should join their pipelines.
The US would prefer the terminus be Karachi, since Pakistan is our nominal ally. Hell, the idea was so popular in the 90’s that the Clinton administration considered recognizing the Taliban just so we could build the damn thing. The Taliban responded by blowing up Buddha. plan shelved.
I commend you on reading a map, but I was taking it one step further.
But, as always, your contribution was welcome and astute.
Lookism? Damn it, my cracker heritage gets me nowhere! Besides, using “lookism” is not that much worse than the legacy system, which ensured such applicants as Georgie and John Kerry were admitted. Seems to me both were sort of arbitrary.
This pipeline, which is the one most moonbats were worked up about pre-war, and which I assumed you meant by “that pipeline”, would play hell bypassing all the countries you mentioned>
When Jeff’s back full time, I may start up the Angry Catholic Revanchist blog, and try to stir the Vatican into invading Istanbul and Goa, for starters.
But seriously . . . do I seem angry? Because most of the time I’m listening to The Archies when I blog.
I was just about to suggest that you might want to consider cutting back on the 4-Methyl-aminorex, Dan.
I did that for Lent, slart.
Still having problems with that whole sequence-of-events-in-time thing, I see.
Do you work at being ignorant, or does it come to you effortlessly?
Well DONE, sir! But isn’t Lent over with?
Yes. Typically at Easter. Which is why the Easter Bunny brings me a twelver of Guinness and some pills.
Rob – It is obvious effortless for the likes of timmyb and ttbogg. Think about it. If their level of constant stupidity required effort, they would have no time left for the basics, like breathing.
Rob, your generous correction notwithstanding, the Taliban did ruined their chance at recognition in the ‘90’s. I know nitpicking is a hobby of yours, but the essential truth of what I wrote is not changed by the fact that I was wrong about the precipitating event (turned out to be the embassy bombings and the Taliban failure to hand of Osama http://www.omaid.com/english_section/in_the_press/recognition_JanesDefence_Oct4.htm)
But, that’s great nitpicking. Thanks for that.
Ignorant? Of a subject and a place you probably couldn’t find on a map prior top September 12, 2001? Go work on your gnomes.
Dan, I didn’t mean angry in the bad way. I meant angry in the righteous way. We may not agree on Catholicism, but I have no problem with you protecting your Church or Faith.
Yes, I know, you feel so better now that you have my permission, etc, snark for other commenters, idiocy from JD, moronic blathering from B Moe, the essential tiny point re: US diplomatic history from Robby, etc. Nonetheless, I still feel you mis-interpreted it and I wanted to clarify.
Also The Cowsills.
And that about sums it up, doesn’t it?
The essential definition of truthiness. Well done, timmah.
You know this, how, exactly? Or are you just pissed because I exposed your ignorance? I mean, the embassy bombings vs. the Bamyan Buddhas; there’s a rather large difference between the two events, in terms of impact (people died in the embassy bombings) and meaning, let alone when they occurred.
I know this is all “tyranny of facts” of me, but when I see someone commenting on a matter and making such a blatant error on the facts involved, I tend to discount their opinion. When that person also responds to the correction by accusing me of being ignorant, well, let’s just say it’s not good for my estimation of that person.
Hmmm… no gnomes on the workbench right now, but I have a shitload of camel-heads that need painting.
A “tiny point” that was the crux of a claim you were making. If I said LEDs give off light because the current flowing through them heats them to incandescence, well, I’d be wrong, even though the current flowing through them is responsible for the light.
I see we share a common interest! Excellent job on the website!
