O.T.: Sugarman sighting

For those still worried about his health an well-being, he's over on Tim Grieve's blog ... bashing Glenn. Surprise!

I smell an asshole

Yes it was the "golden age" of America because our biggest competitors had been completely, totally, destroyed,during WW2.

-- shooter242

Yeah, Shitter, that whole "Cold War" and "Red Menace" and "Domino Theory" and "Who Lost China?" stuff was just a plot device on a very special episode of Make Rooom for Daddy.

My God, you're a self-satirizing idiot. Do you ever think for even a minute about what you're saying before you speak?

"Initial" public offering

ADL used to stand for Anti-Defamation League. It currently stands for Assholes Defending Likud.

The B'nai B'rith used to mean something to ordinary, gently-liberal-leaning middle-class Jewish families like mine, but that was a different time and a different America.

A medical mystery

Rush Limbaugh got out of serving in Vietnam because of a cyst on his buttock.

No one has ever explained why his doctors removed the man and allowed the cyst to go on to a successful career in right-wing hate radio.

It seems like only yesterday...

Oh, that's right, it was only yesterday that our edumacated friend Shitter was telling us this about the 1950s:

Yes it was the "golden age" of America because our biggest competitors had been completely, totally, destroyed,during WW2.

No Soviet Union. No Red China. No Cold War. No Army/McCarthy hearings, Red Scare, domino principle, Iron Curtain, nuclear threat, permanent buildup of the military-industrial complex to "fight" the Red Menace...

...and absolutely no point in ever taking anything this gutless, mindless, soulless bag of foul wind says seriously. None of it. Not ever.

If Rush Limbaugh can barely follow a train of thought, Shitter can't even find the station.

P.S. I wonder if Shitter is still enjoying Armstrong Williams' show on Air America? I'm sure not as much as I enjoyed his impotent rage when he couldn't admit he was wrong, even about a stupid little mistake like that.

The sun never sets on the Yiddish Empire

"Shmuck" or "schmuck" please; never "shmock"! And a "-y" adjective construction like "drecky" strikes me as downright traif. My bubbe would plotz from such mishegoss.

@ casual_observer

casual_observer: I don't see where either Broder or Cole says this.

I call bullshit.

Broder: Cole argues that the House Democratic leadership has made a strategic error by wielding its narrow majority to craft partisan bills that invite a Bush veto. That was the case with several resolutions to shorten the Iraq war, and it will be the case later this fall with a series of appropriations bills. Polarization is exactly what the voters hate, Cole said; they are looking for cooperation and agreement.

See it now? Or are you wearing Broder's old-lady panties over your face?

Is Cary Tennis brain-damaged?

Cary: A quick note on last week's Christian daughter column.

I was surprised by the vehemence with which atheists took exception...

Atheists? Can you read at all, or don't you understand English, or are you capable of seeing only what your preconceptions tell you to see?

Those taking exception to your dangerously stupid advice included atheists, agnostics, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Scientologists, Rosicrucians ... the entire spectrum of believers and non-believers.

I think the editors of Salon need some advice: find a new advice columnist. This one is broken.

Original article: A nation of Rich Lowrys

Documented results!

Since his trip to Iraq, Rich Lowry's dick is twice the size it was before!

We are winning!

Shitter, you're not even trying anymore!

In other words it's very easy to be a "hindsight hero" and complain that Bush did the wrong thing. OTOH if YOU were wrong, tens, hundreds, thousands, or millions of people would die.

So instead, you were wrong, and continue to be wrong, and hundreds of thousands have died, and more continue to die every day with no end in sight.

And somehow that's okay?

It's like you're bathing in your own excrement while squealing, "Look how pretty I am!"

Shitter, now orbiting Mars!

be prepared to be called a "traitor" willing to abandon the Iraqi people

That's funny, Shitter -- since I'm an American, I assume I'd be a "traitor" if I were willing to abandon the American people.

Has the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq made that country a wholly-owned subsidiary of USA, LLC? Or are things just really, really different in New Jersey?

"breasted an extraordinary amount of obloquy"

Is The Sun suggesting the General has had implants?

I see copies of that bizarre rag in my lobby every morning; some of my neighbors have accepted free subscriptions. I hope it's because they own birds.

Matthews is flogging his new book

He's only talking about this now to drum up sales. He is not speaking out of courage or conscience; someone at his publishers' told him it would be a good idea.

He is perhaps the vilest, most pustulant whore in the whole chancrous NBC seraglio.

You can say what you like about Karen Hughes...

...but there's no denying she's one of the toughest, most virile men in America.

Thursday, October 11, 2007 06:42 PM

And by the way...

...if you're still wondering where they got the sperm to "father" Mary Cheney's baby, Karen was seen handing out cigars.

@ ondelette

But did the people in the New Jersey apartment building really have the right to ignore what was going on outside?

It happened in Kew Gardens. City of New York, Borough of Queens.

@ ondelette

I raged against an ignorant populace a few minutes ago (only to get egged by being ignorant of New York geography).

Egged? Maybe you should change your screen name to "omelette"?

Didn't mean to criticize -- just correcting the record; not only do I remember the incident (particularly vivid since my family had recently moved out of that neighborhood when it happened) but I saw the musical. Yes, the musical. The Screams of Kitty Genovese. NOT a satire. Don't even ask.

What's driving "Tilde" Swinton insane

The former IsRaelName, who obviously still thinks of himself as a liberal, is such a rabid Likudnik that on matters pertaining to the Middle East he consistently finds himself in bed with O'Reilly, Podhoretz, various Kagans, and the rest of the turd reich.

It's enough to drive anyone around the bend, let alone someone so loosely wrapped to begin with.
