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.

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.

"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.

I smell an asshole

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

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?

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!

You're wrong, Mr. Grieve...

Oh, and Senator: You can't have it both ways.

We all know now that Larry Craig has been having it "both ways" for years!

@ William Timberman

While you and others are (cautiously) pressing the newly "enlightened" Golden Boy to your breast, have you failed to notice that the omnipotent, internationally-acclaimed, turbo-charged, free-prize-in-every-box-the-better-to-rape-your-children-with-my-dear Ward Churchill is still hiding under GB's bed, threatening the Earth's orbit around the Sun with his every radioactive breath?

Is this a new, improved GB? Rather than simply take his word for it, I'd demand to see a note from his physician, his therapist, his parole board and/or his mother first.

@ Anonymous (but which one?)

In Afghanistan, they actually have Man Love Thursdays and it is an accepted practise...and as long as they did whatever they were going to do where I didn't have to watch them, whatever.

--Anonymous

Whatever vitriol has been directed at you from the left or the right, it ain't nearly enough.

And it should be supplemented with a heaping portion of scorn and mockery.

A bitter taste of Sugarman

if you put the welfare of "all mankind" above your own people, you will get your own people slaughtered.

-- david sugarman

"All mankind" is my own people, you excrement.

No wonder you're a virtual shut-in. I'll bet your family locks all the doors from the outside.

No wonder he's so bitter!

Poor Uncle Thomas had to settle for a long black robe ... when what he really wanted was a pointy white hood.

Too late!

Why bother with water? McCain has already undergone "full immersion" in the Kool-Aid.

Bought and paid for

Today's ADL represents American Jews the same way Clarence Thomas represents African-Americans.

@ Shitter242

Now that you folks have loudly bashed the President since day one, we will happily demonstrate how it feels to be the "catcher" rather than the "pitcher."

Gee, Shitter, what a refreshing novelty that would be! I wonder why the right wing noise machine never employed that strategy before!

Every day is Groundhog's Day for you, isn't it? Your mental slate is miraculously wiped clean time and again. Maybe that's why you can't even keep your gay sex metaphors "straight"!

@ stebeau

As an independent conservative, I am flabbergasted by the analysis of this column.

As an independent conservative, a 6-month-old repeatedly dropped on its head, or a suite of office furniture, your reading comprehension skills are shamefully deficient. I can't imagine anything more challenging than a dish of tapioca that wouldn't flabbergast you.

O.T.: a note from the edge of insanity

My office is in Times Square. There is a traffic island between 43rd and 44th Streets immortalized in countless movies and TV shows. On the south end of that island is a U.S. Army recruiting center. I'm pretty sure it's been there all my life.

Today, the recruiting center got a new neighbor. On the north end of the island, only yards away, a fountain has appeared. "Blood" spurts from the top and runs down copiously on all four sides.

I looked more closely. The blood fountain is not a protest against the Iraq war. It is a promotional gimmick for "Dexter," a cable TV series about a lovable serial killer.

No one in the street is commenting on this bizarre juxtaposition. No one in my office thinks this is an odd or disturbing or ironic or obscene comment on life in these United States circa 2007.

I am just one little push from committing myself to a mental institution or slitting my own throat.

What have you done with the REAL Glenn Greenwald?

Sorry, Glenn, but as one who has been reading and admiring you for years now, I must add my name to the list of those shocked and disappointed by your defensive, reactionary, strawman-laden response to malamiyya. Even the best of us have our bad days; today appears to be yours. My respect for you is such that I expect, upon reflection, you'll agree.

@ Paul Dirks

This leads credence to my theory that Rudy is indeed deliberately talking out his ass......

And it's only gotten louder since his prostate was removed; more room for the sound to resonate, I guess.
