There are 8 million stories in the naked city…

…one of my favorites of which details the adventures of a secretive cult of swinging dwarfs trained in aikido (合気道) and the black arts of diabolism whose appetite for crime fighting is matched only by a voracious appetite for cocaine, amyl nitrate, and the ladies.

Of course, I’m a hypermasculinist weenie boy, so my enjoyments are terribly predictable.

Seriously. Some professor should write a column.

  1. […] geek professor lectures us all on “weenie-boy” masculinity, via Jeff. Compensation, […]

  2. JD says:

    Dwarfs … thanks a lot. I will have nightmares about those diabolical Oompa Loompas tonight.

  3. Jeff G. says:

    Why? They’re on your side, JD!

  4. No wonder I couldn’t learn Aikido last summer.

  5. By the way, the linked piece is among the more stupid in a long line of fatuous attempts to define idealogical opponents on the basis of obviously projected attacks on mental character. These kind of pieces just illustrate the fundamental lack of argument and obsession with the most silly of self-centered attempts to feel better about themselves.

  6. JD says:

    Scary little multi-colored bastards. They are going to be dancing a jig in my head all day, all while cackling that evil kind of laugh only midgets can conjure up. Oh, the humanity. Am I going to have to donate to the Edwards campaign just to stop your wicked hate speech?

  7. Dan Collins says:

    Meh. I checked out Dr. Antiweenie. He’s a white guy.

    The ultimate projection is a leftist criticizing weenie boys. I will now watch Time Bandits to banish all images of evil dwarves from my mind.

  9. gahrie says:

    What stood out for me was the absolute certainty that the Republicans are going to loss in 2008. It’s a common characteristic on the Left today. Given the Left’s reaction to 2000 and 2004, can you imagine the emotional and psychic meltdown that is going to occur next year if the Republicans win?

  10. Sithmonkey says:

    Oh geez…this guy is a Women’s Studies professor…the article make much sense now…

  11. mojo says:

    We’re not required to actually use the word “weenie”, are we?

    ‘Cause that would suck, big-time.

  12. gahrie says:

    Oh wow..surprise surprise…this dweeb is part of the Woman’s studies program……

  13. ushie says:

    I seem to be one of his “weenie-boys,” due to my fascination with computer games and action/horror films. However, I’m a chick. And I wrote my diss. on hardcore feminist themes in chicklit. I guess I’m totally inadequite…

    Brad Pitt???

  14. ThePolishNizel says:

    LOL…Women’s Studies? The guy is getting his ass kicked constantly by bull dykes. That posting of his is projection gone wild.

  15. scooter (not libby) says:

    FYI, the word “midget” is apparently a form of hate-speech among the vertically-challenged. Just thought you should know.

    He does seem to be in more of a head-state than those he’s analyzing.

    Perfectly suited for a career in psychiatry/psychology.

  20. Phinn says:

    the right-wing weenie boys were able to trump the conventional masculinity of Gore and Kerry and make the “natural,” “assumed” manliness of the Democrats look artificial, contrived, and effeminate.

    There are so many errors in that chestnut of a brain fart of a comment that I expect time and space will soon fold in upon themselves, destroying us all in an eternal cycle of cataclysmic annihilation and rebirth.

  21. Percy Dovetonsils says:

    LOL…Women’s Studies? The guy is getting his ass kicked constantly by bull dykes.

    I can only assume he got his job via affirmative action. I mean, a man teaching womyn’s studies? It is to laugh.

  22. Shawn says:

    Poor guy. Probably gets his ass kicked by the wind.

  23. Pellegri says:

    Oh wow. I’m in ushie’s category, almost. Plus, I want to get in shape to practice parkour, and eventually enlist in the military. And I wanted to be an NFL quarterback when I was a little girl.

    CHASING MY MASCULINITY. Penis envy, ho!

    …well, I do sort of envy penises, in that they make it far easier to piss outdoors. Other than that, y’all can have your penises and I’ll keep my indoor plumbing.

  24. BJTexs says:

    Ric;

    Great comment. And… it’s still there.

    I spent last evening at the Upper Merion Township Park for a concert under the stars with Jeffrey Gaines (he was excellent!) The opening act, a decidedly mediocre female folk singer with a stand up bass player/harmony singer (think Indigo Girls, only whinier and far less musically clever) said that she was angry and tried to enlist the audience in supporting her anti-war anti-administration video protest song for Youtube. It was a para-feminist, touchy feely, lies and lies abomination that wouldn’t have gotten a candle lighting in 1968.

    However, there was enough of the Birkinstock/Chardonnay crowd on hand to give her a reasonable cheer at the end.

    Me, I was desperately digging in the cooler for what I knew was the last Yuengling Lager. And found it!

    Our prof would have been right at home.

  28. JD says:

    BJ – I spent a day at Philadelphia International Airport waiting for an eventually 8 hour late flight. I would have chosen a miserable day at the airport over a warforoil bloodforoil knock off hippie indigo girls concert. I feel for you, bro.

  29. JD says:

    And what exactly is “conventionally masculine” about Gore or Kerry? If we assume that they are, or have a penis, that is about the extent of it.

  30. Jeff G. says:

    Well, Dan, here’s mine.

    Of course, I didn’t teach in 2006, and we didn’t have “comp”.

    Some people will go to pretty extreme measures to blacken your image, it seems.

  31. BJTexs says:

    JD:

    She was just a 30 minute warmup and the last song was the only political content she did (thank God!) JeffREy Gaines was outstanding and played for almost 2 hours. It was one of the best $10 bucks I’ve ever spent.

    “And what exactly is “conventionally masculine” about Gore or Kerry? If we assume that they are, or have a penis, that is about the extent of it.”

    Why is it always about the penis, JD?

    BECAUSE OF THE PATRIARCHY!

    Wait. Um…

  38. Al Maviva says:

    Hey, he makes a really good argument.

    If you’re a phony macho, wannabe tough guy, action-film-watching woman dominating not-doing-as-well-as-you’d-like-in-your-career (probably suspect homosexual) conservative male, then you’re a pussy effeminate weenie boy and you’re overcompensating for your total flaccidity.

    On the other hand, if you’re a real macho actual tough guy (like say a bar brawling former paratrooper) semi-pro athlete who is having big success in the career and with the ladies, then you’re overcompensating.

    In short, either way, you have a needle dick tiny enough to split atoms without the atoms actually noticing the intrusion.

    Frankly, I don’t see how you can argue with that. Seems like he’s got us coming and going.

  39. Jeff G. says:

    Or, to sum up: if you are a conservative male, there’s something very very wrong with you.

    Maybe…but he was only an average fighter pilot (when he was there), whereas he was a FANTASTIC cheerleader!

  41. happyfeet says:

    George Bush also makes incredible barbecue. Also don’t pass on his fajitas if you ever have a chance.

  42. happyfeet says:

    And don’t be a weenie and go for the chicken. Chicken fajitas are only for people whose doctors told them not to eat beef. Really.

  43. timb, its obvious that your talent does not extend as far as being either a F102 pilot nor a good cheerleader.

  44. timb says:

    But, I was a fine band member and chess club treasurer. Unlike our president, I never longed to get out of service in Vietnam nor did I long to cheer for those long-suffering Andover-ites.

    Perhaps, faced with his draft number and connections, I would have learned to love F-102’s, or, faced with the daunting task of playing sports at Andover, I would have chosen to be a cool cheerleader. Alas, I never had a draft number and my public high school did not have male cheerleaders, so I was stuck with trying to be a manly chess geek. I succeeded in intimidating quite a few other nerds…..big fish/small pond.

  45. timb says:

    You know, I really thought when I typed “Bush cheerleader” into Google (to double-check it was Andover), the first entry would be a link to PW. I was pleasantly surprised when it was not.

  46. Rob Crawford says:

    FYI, the word “midget” is apparently a form of hate-speech among the vertically-challenged.

  47. timb, it was probably the immigration thing that knocked us out of the running. ;p

  51. Darleen says:

    ewwww… I hope to god NOT.

  52. Darleen says:

    I’m also going to do a post on Ann Coulter as the “uber weenie boy” today. Enjoy

    I suspect the good prof is envious of her adam’s apple.

    Or her stillettos.

  53. timb, lying again about the President? Quel surprise.

  54. JD says:

    I mean midget ninjas ? If that is not fucking terrifying, I don’t know what is. Maybe dwarf porn would be worse, but not much.

  55. Rob Crawford says:

    Maybe…but he was only an average fighter pilot (when he was there), whereas he was a FANTASTIC cheerleader!

    So? It takes endurance, coordination, and practice. And he no doubt got plenty of chances to both look up cheerleader’s skirts AND put his hand on their asses.

    Perhaps, faced with his draft number and connections, I would have learned to love F-102’s

    As if flying the F-102 was a cushy, safe job:

    Regardless, the F-102 was still far more dangerous to fly than today’s combat aircraft. Compared to the F-102’s lifetime accident rate of 13.69, today’s planes generally average around 4 mishaps per 100,000 hours. For example, compare the F-16 at 4.14, the F-15 at 2.47, the F-117 at 4.07, the S-3 at 2.6, and the F-18 at 4.9. Even the Marine Corps’ AV-8B, regarded as the most dangerous aircraft in US service today, has a lifetime accident rate of only 11.44 mishaps per 100,000 flight hours. The F-102 claimed the lives of many pilots, including a number stationed at Ellington during Bush’s tenure. Of the 875 F-102A production models that entered service, 259 were lost in accidents that killed 70 Air Force and ANG pilots.

    And was Bush really only an “average” pilot?

    When interviewed by the Associated Press in February 2004, flight instructor Maj. Udell recalled that Lt. Bush was one of his best students saying that, “I’d rank him in the top five percent.

    Not that you really give a rat’s ass about the truth. You’re more interested in using the left’s constructed mythology to bash Bush.

  56. JD says:

    BJ, Peter, Ric, etal – I am not much interested in improving weenie boy’s site traffic, but if y’all are handing him his rhetorical ass over there, I will venture back.

  57. Darleen says:

    Unlike our president, I never longed to get out of service in Vietnam

    Now, what did you miss about GW’s volunteering to be trained on a particular jet specifically because those units were being deployed to ‘nam in contrast to Kerry who volunteered for Swiftboats because he knew at the time they were cushy off coast units …only becoming ‘dirty water Navy’ later?

    Do you have ANY inclination to deal in facts?

  58. kelly says:

    This is what killed “big man on campus” types like Al Gore and John Kerry. Both Gore and Kerry were thorough embodiments of conventional masculinity. They were both popular, relatively secure guys who were ambitious, served in the military, and worked their way up the ladder.

    For some reason I wasn’t able to comment on the good professor’s site, but this gem jumped out at me. Turns out one’s propensity for being an insufferably vain, sanctimonious jerk is the direct result of “working up the ladder” and not necessarily innate. And that “working up the ladder” means, for some, marrying successively richer women. Or for others it means attending an exclusive boarding school and living out your childhood at an expensive DC hotel.

    Who knew?

  59. JD says:

    Darleen – facts to timmah are like Jenny Craig to Oliver Willis.

    Now, what did you miss about GW’s volunteering to be trained on a particular jet specifically because those units were being deployed to ‘nam in contrast to Kerry who volunteered for Swiftboats because he knew at the time they were cushy off coast units …only becoming ‘dirty water Navy’ later?

    Do you have ANY inclination to deal in facts?

    First of all, I don’t know what John Kerry has to do with any of this. I’ll write that off as the burping of a template you used to type constantly in 2004. I will note that a million news accounts show that the President specifically checked on his application to the “Champagne” unit, that he did NOT want to be transferred overseas.

    You know, if your entire love for George Bush is based upon something he did half-assed forty years ago, then I think you’ve taken hagiography to new heights.

    In fact, fight th 2004 election all you want, I don’t really care. I don’t require my President to be a hero. A good leader who is not a total screw up would be nice. If you want to picture on that carrier with his codpiece on, more power to you.

    I do know, however, that he was a helluva a drunk. Thirty years he spent drunk and only one drunk driving citation! That is an excellent record.

  61. Me thinks the good prof. has ‘weenie envy’… i.e. he has not one, and wishes that he had one at least as big as John Kerry’s (I have heard rumor it’s as big as an olive pit)…. bwaaaahaaaa!!!!

  62. timb, your vapid sputterings are just cheap and incoherent slanders.

  63. Darleen says:

    I will note that a million news accounts show

    Is that something like “well…sniff everyone knows …”

    guaranteed redflag that was follows is certainly NOT what “everyone knows”

  64. JD says:

    timmah – That whole “drunk” swipe is a pretty cheap shot, even for you. Do you really believe that one’s driving record has any relation to the damage alcohol and drugs can cause an addict?

  65. Darleen says:

    Palace Alert was an Air Force program that sent qualified F-102 pilots from the ANG to bases in Europe or southeast Asia for three to six months of frontline service.

    Fred Bradley, a friend of Bush’s who was also serving in the Texas ANG, reported that he and Bush inquired about participating in Palace Alert. However, the two were told by their flight instructor, Maj. Maurice Udell, that they were not yet qualified since they were still in training and did not have the 500 hours of flight experience required

  66. Darleen says:

    the above should be in a blockquote. ::sigh:::

    and timb, I’m defending GW not out of “love” but because you refuse to allow him the honor of his own military record.

    What IS IT that whether or not someone actually serves honorably in the military is somehow contingent on their POLITICS years later?

    You hate the President. I get that. It is the prism through which you see everything… there isn’t a sparrow that falls that isn’t the fault of the malevolent BOOOO$Hilter.

    No matter the low approval ratings of Bush, Congress is much worse. Dems are far the bigger “screwups” then even a tin-eared GW.

    And what IS it about the President in a flight suit that has you hissing like neutered tomcats? YOu can’t stand the fact that most of the rank-n-file military respects the guy like they never did the Clintons. Is it any wonder Kerry called those who join the military “losers” as modern update on his Winter Solder mendacities … The Left hates the military.

  67. kelly says:

    I do know, however, that he was a helluva a drunk. Thirty years he spent drunk and only one drunk driving citation dead woman! That is an excellent record.

    There. Fixed that for you.

  68. kelly says:

    So much for my mad HTML skillz.

    Darleen,

    Timmah’s chronic BDS is well noted. Plus he just comes off mostly as a prick.

  69. Cave Bear says:

    As usual, Timmuh is so full of shit. Bush did volunteer for duty in Vietnam. Only problem was the Air Force at that time (this was the early 1970s and things were winding down over there) had plenty of pilots trained and with the required number of hours in, the aircraft they were using over there at the time. Bush didn’t qualify, and since US involvement in Vietnam was winding down, there was no need to spend the time and money training an ANG pilot on a different plane. And as another poster has already pointed out, Bush’s CO said he was a very good pilot.

    Of course, he’d have to be to herd the F-102, which was a real bitch to fly. It had none of the computerized enhancements that pilots nowadays take for granted, but could sure have used them. The accident statistics speak for themselves.

    I would be the first to say that GWB has made some major blunders over the years, the illegal alien amnesty thing being the latest example. But he certainly is not the both stupid-yet-feindishly-clever conniver that the Left makes him out to be. If you want to whine about the war in Iraq, he said from the start this would take years. Indeed, every damn thing you people keep bitching about he had addressed years ago before this little donneybrook ever got started.

    Deal with it, goober. You inanities were as usual DOA.

  70. timb says:

    Jesus, Darleen, are you exceptionally lazy today or what?

    Here’s a good overview: http://www.answers.com/topic/george-w-bush-military-service-controversy

    Specifically, here’s a link to an application: http://www.usatoday.com/news/bushdocs/3-Grade_Determination.pdf

    Page 22 contains the “I do not volunteer for overseas service.”

    Again, my this is that important to you folks is a bit of a mystery. President’s are required to military heroes; or else John Kerry would have won (damn, I went a long way for that joke, but in the end it was worth it)

    So, tell me, Darleen, which manly man is stirring your pot for 2008? Is it Rudy? Fred? Tom Tancredo. Which one is the military hero you require?

  71. Lost My Cookies says:

    Anyone else find it funny that someone could, after however many years, still be pissed off at the popular guys in High School?

  72. McGehee says:

    Anyone else find it funny that someone could, after however many years, still be pissed off at the popular guys in High School?

    Well, to be fair, timbot’s noogie scar still hasn’t healed properly.

  73. Darleen says:

    timb

    Slow down, boyo, and let your gonads descend.

    I do not require someone with military service as a requirement to run for public office. I DO require a minimum of respect for those whose job is to keep us safe before I’ll vote for ’em.

    I find it such a giggle that the anti-military Left flogs this issue … even to forging memos with the complicity of the MSM in an attempt to turn an election.

    Again, this about facts on the ground and IN CONTEXT

    Second Myth – GWB’s checking the “do not volunteer for overseas” box proved GWB was dodging duty in Vietnam. The facts: (1) the “do not volunteer for overseas” box was checked by all Guardsmen applicants for a pilot slot. (2) AF Form 125 (application for Extended Active Duty [EAD]) is required for every Air Force officer’s personnel folder. This form is not a requirement for reservists and guardsmen unless called up for EAD. When guardsmen attend USAF pilot training school they are on EAD. As per retired Col. Campenni “Most guardsmen, like Lt. Bush and me, were told by personnel clerks to check off the “not volunteer” block because it was meaningless. We had to fill out the form to go to pilot training because that year was EAD; however, all ANG training bases were in the United States. In the Guard, you are the property of that unit and state. You aren’t going anywhere except where your unit goes.”

  74. B Moe says:

    That “good overview” you linked to is a funny joke, timmy. I especially liked the use of Terry McAullife and Michael Moore as references. As to the other one, I am guessing he checked that box because it was his training application, and they weren’t doing fighter training overseas at the time. Someone familiar with the ANG can tell me if I guessed right.

  75. Darleen says:

    So, tell me, Darleen, which manly man is stirring your pot for 2008?

    Oh, and wipe the misogyny off what passes for a chin on your face, timmyboy. Emotions do not drive my vote.

  76. B Moe says:

    lol, thank you Darleen, I should have refreshed.

  77. N. O'Brain says:

    timmah, you needle dicked retard, the Predident volunteered for duty in VietNam.

    When did you have boots on the ground in Afghanistan?

    Or are you a chickenhawk?

  78. N. O'Brain says:

    “And what IS it about the President in a flight suit that has you hissing like neutered tomcats? ”

    A declawed, neutered tomcat.

  79. Cave Bear says:

    No one ever said Bush was a “military hero”. But neither was he the “chickenhawk slacker” you leftoids keep braying about. For that matter, neither was Jon Carry a “military hero” either. A profligate liar, yes. A hero, not hardly.

    I have a friend who was a combat infantryman in Vietnam, and he did two tours over there (well, actually one and a half, as they had to ship him home after his APC was taken out by a Commie RPG; he was the sole survivor). Either way, he spent over a year and a half over there, on the pointy end of the stick, as it were.

    My friend was awarded the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars with V devices, and a fistful of Purple Hearts. In fact, they were still digging shrapnel out of his back in 1987. So, unlike your boy Carry, this guy was a real “military hero”. I asked him once, back in ’04 before the election, what his take was on this whole bit about Carry’s time in country, his medals and so forth. His reply was that Carry “played the system” to get his Silver Star and Bronze Stars. He’d seen it happen before, with well-connected officers who needed some brass on their chests but who did not have the balls to get out there where the hot lead was flying. And I’ll take the word of my friend over that of a known liar like John “and he was in Vietnam, too” Kerry (such as his Nixon-ordered trip into Cambodia in December of ’68, you know, the one that is seared, SEARED into his memory, etc.).

    BTW, I did read that “womyn’s studies” professor’s little diatribe, and aside from it being the product of a very shallow thinker, the boy does seem to have a bad case of penis envy. But since his feminazi friends are probably careful to keep his pecker in a jar on their mantel, this is probably no great surprise…

  80. Rob Crawford says:

    Anyone else amused by timmah’s reaction to having his lies corrected?

  81. timb says:

    Yes, N. O’ Brain, he sure did, that’s why there are no records of it. Plenty of records about his transfer to Alabama, but none about his heroic volunteering to fight the Reds over in the rice patties. You know, I think Oliver Stone volunteered to fight the Reds. You know, he joined the Army and asked to be sent to ‘Nam. Now, kudos to George for taking the round about way there and all, but I don’t think he made it in time.

    Darleen, must you name call in every post? I mean, misogynist? Misanthrope, possibly, but my two daughters and my wife would be stunned to know I don’t regard women highly…anyway, I do not hate George. I never have. I dislike him and I think he’s a piss poor President. Certainly the worst President of this century (get it!). If I hate anyone in the current administration, I’d say I’d like to smack David Addington in the face. John Yoo is revolting (although he is no longer in the administration). Dick Cheney? Possibly the worst American in public life. Possibly one of the worst people to ever hold public office in America.

    But, hate? I reserve that for people who mean something and for the past year or so, those people don’t mean anything. Rove is hobbled, Cheney and Addington are busy arguing they’re not part of the Executive Branch and John Yoo is holed in a Berkley apartment, terrified the UN could arrest him and put him the Milosevic cell.

    As for the Pres, he’s an anarchism. He couldn’t get two legislators together to order a pizza, let alone craft an agenda.

    As for re-fighting Vietnam, you Baby Boomers can yammer at yourselves until your heat’s content. All I will add, is that there is no documented transfer request to Vietnam (scary Air Force the Vietcong had…I wonder why more interceptors weren’t flown there?). The story you speak of is documented by the oral story of three other pilots, produced in time for a Presidential election.

    Vietnam, the war that stops being entertaining for conservative Baby Boomers…on and on and on about traitors and heroes.

    I guess you missed that whole amnesty thing, eh Timmah!?

    timb

    EVERY applicant for a pilot slot checked the box

    a RECORD

    When GW applied for a pilot slot in 1968 in the 147th TIG current pilots from that unit were flying combat missions IN ‘nam (Palace Alert)

    a RECORD

    direct testimony that GW also directly asked to be assigned to Palace Alert

    that’s called evidence

    and timb, engaging in selective moments of misogyny might not mean you are a misogynist (yes yes some of your best friends are female) but heck, its rich to have you “offended” by my “calling names” when you toss out statements that the only reason us inauthentic women vote is because of emotion.

    BTW, Jhimmi Carter is the worst President on record with absolutely no competition in his race to trash every convention on how former Presidents should behave …especially where it concerns betraying national interest.

  84. Darleen says:

    timmy

    anyone refute the pilots’ testimony?

    thought so

  85. N. O'Brain says:

    ” All I will add, is that there is no documented transfer request to Vietnam (scary Air Force the Vietcong had…”

    Ah, but the North Vietnamese were a different story, right timmah, you fuctard?

    So are you going to answer my question?

    When did you serve in Afghanistan?

  86. timb, there was virtually no Viet Cong in ’71. Basically, you’ve been caught lying again. Go scurry back under your rock.

  87. Jeff G. says:

    For some reason, I can’t post over at the Prof’s site. So I’ll leave it to Dan and others with academic credentials to puncture this buffoon in my stead.

    I did note, however, that one of his first moves was to pick up on the use of “post-modern” by Rick Locke and use it as a case for dismissal of his arguments. This is a typical ploy: Rick shows himself not to be studied in the latest academic cant, so he is unworthy of serious consideration. Which, as anybody who reads Rick’s commentary here knows, is sadly mistaken.

    Too, it was charming, in a “my, how charmingly sad” kinda way, to see TimmyB over there trying to suck up — while characterizing my site in a way that is not only objectionable but false, all to win points with a guy he doesn’t know and prove himself one of the good guys.

    Should the good professor like to show up here and debate the merits of his post — he presumes, erroneously, I’m afraid, that we rightwing weenie boys are incapable of teasing out his logical fallacies only because he believes, again mistakenly, that we aren’t trained in the art or know the vocabulary — he is more than welcomed.

    Perhaps timmy can pass along the invite — though he should probably also pass along that the last professor who tried to bullshit me with a bunch of dismissive academic jargon wound up looking rather foolish, and not even the purity of ideology could keep some of his more honest peers from jumping ship.

  88. And if there is a photo of the prof out there with an AK and a beret, we’ll find it!

    We’re all racists, homophobes and sexists! Excellent!

  90. Blitz says:

    Maybe…but he was only an average fighter pilot

    TimB? I spent a year and MANY dollars just to get a license to fly a freakin’ Piper Cub…TRUST me Timmah, even the most average Jet pilot has a buttload more brains and GUTS(balls if you’d prefer) Than I ever did.

    to the rest of the commenters; I stopped reading the comments at that piece of idiocy so if you already told him off, I’m sorry

  91. Shawn says:

    Actually, I hate everyone. It’s simpler that way.

  92. Darleen says:

    Oh we non-leftists aren’t just that… we are a DISEASE!

    Obviously, “weenie-boy” is meant to be a pejorative characterization of conservative political figures. As I state on the banner, this is a left-wing blog and much of my focus is on criticizing the right (which I view as a cancer on American society).

    Hey, why should the good prof Caric engage in substantive debate with non-leftists? Who argues with a disease?

  93. JD says:

    I thought it was just precious that he complained about being stereotyped over here, and then proceeded to act in a completely stereotypical manner in proclaiming all of us racist, sexist, homophobes.

  94. Sean M. says:

    That’s a good way to get out of jury duty, too.

  95. Darth Bacon says:

    Um…

    Why- pray tell- are we all sitting here expecting even a modicum of intellectual (or even personal) honesty from an avowed leftist?

    I prefer to spend my time in pursuit of attainable things.

    Just sayin’ is all…

  96. Sean M. says:

    ANARCHISM IN THE USA!!1one!1!

    Not like that professor ran with an honest crowd to begin with

  98. alppuccino says:

    IN college, as I was poncing about on the football field – affectionately smacking linemen on the bum, smelling the smells of the huddle, placing my hands under the center’s nuaghty bits, I secretly admired and feared the male cheerleaders. What with their strong upper bodies and pants suits. Yelling into big cones and most of all, the thing that is seared – seared – into my memory, their hoisting of scantily clad nymphs to be perched atop nothing but their one hand. Many was a time-out or defensive possesion where I would creep over to the sqad and ask Biff if I could smell his thumb.

    That was a bit offsides, wasn’t it?

  99. alppuccino says:

    Into your hands I commend my weeniness.

  100. timb says:

    Ah, the host is angry because I called him “manly”. Jesus, Jeff, you are touchy. One cannot call you “manly” or “girly”. One cannot go afield and even mention your name. One cannot mention the things you have said or tell you what you should say.

    PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

    I stand by what I said. 98% of PW readers are white, middle class guys. So that I can be perfectly understood by the folks who try to misinterpret (I’m looking askance at you, Darleen), that’s fine by me. I post here because I like the discussions and know the people. It’s a freedom of association thing.

  101. B Moe says:

    What percent of your statistics are pulled out your ass?

  102. Mr. Boo says:

    98% of people on the internets are white, middle class guys, too, aren’t they?

  103. N. O'Brain says:

    “98% of PW readers are white, middle class guys.”

    On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.

    But everyone knows an idiot when he posts.

  104. Dan Collins says:

    I think that that city ought to put some clothes on.

  105. timb says:

    B moe, unless I put a hyperlink next to them, they are based on memory and I would say “mostly correct.” If, on the other hand, I am just guessing after a reading a blog for about six months, then I would say 98%.

    Like, how often do I think you post revved up on meth and whiskey? About 98% of the time, but, since I don’t you personally, that’s just a guess.

    How do I imagine you will react to the joke in the preceding paragraph? I’d say there’s a 50% chance you will curse, a 70% chance Robin Roberts will call dishonest, an 80% Pablo will ask some foolish gotcha question, and 5% you will take it as the joke it was meant to be.

    Prove me wrong, big boy

  106. Jeff G. says:

    Unpuff your chest, Timmy. You’re starting to sound like a “weenie man”.

  107. timb says:

    Thanks.
