    Sheesh, Just when I thought I was done with you & your erratic rants. Shame on me.

    "so it *was* personal, totallyblase

    then, why did he have to trash podhoretz for a 44 year old mea culpa? that's displaced anger."

    WTF?? Talk about right out of left field. Randomly firing synapses?? Senile dementia??

    I wish I knew what you are going on about, but it's just so sad, and I really couldn't be bothered. Somehow I always hear the first few notes from 'Aqualung' in my mind whenever I see your screeds. Steady on, old man, steady on.

    I'm trying to figure the logic here. *sugarman* writes: "i didn't read the pdf but the essay, seemed misplaced anger. that's why i called GG putting it up a trash job ("then, why did he have to trash podhoretz for a 44 year old mea culpa? that's displaced anger.") after that, you can read totallyblase's reasoned rejoinder (to get both sides)"

    Question. WTF has putting GG on the carpet in response to my original post, which was a link to a Dennis Perrin blog??? And when I pointed this out ('you can read totallyblase's reasoned rejoinder') , you make it seem like I'M the idjit. Do you have that smirky smug 'insiders' look on your face as you try and spin everyone along or is it a corporeal problem?? My mother, bless her heart, had serious reality issues at the end of her life. She's say, "It's cold in here. They're stealing my teeth. I used to make walnut bread. Yes, I'd love a donut. I hate you. It's warm in here. Why doeswn't anyone come to see me anymore."

    BTW -- the sound you hear is ol' *sugarman* moanin' on about how nobody will talk to him anymore as he pisses, once again, into the punch bowl.

    Gooood night . . .

  • I See Anonymoose Has Dropped By

    [Read the article: Adam Smith and the village's amusement at war]

    With his daily dose of Annie Coulter type 'humor'. Hyuk, hyuk. What a card, 'nabalzbbfr' (how many other pseudonyms do you have??). Glad to see you had time, between pulling the wings off flies and pulling your pud as you look through your collection of turbaned swarthy men with big scimitars, to drop by and show us how clever you are. And funny, too.

    "I was all set to celebrate when I noticed, to my sorrow, that I had misread the headline "Jimmy Carter in shouting match with Sudanese police" as "Jimmy Carter in shooting match with Sudanese police". Too bad they chickened out. The Sudanese police could have done the world a great service (for a change) by dealing with Jimmy Carter and the other "wise elders". Better luck next time."

    You wingnuts really crack me up . . . .

  • Lots Of Anonymice Out There Today

    And most of 'em are nasty, snippy little SOBs, but I digress. Anon, if you're going to make, what in your mind you would consider, a witty quip, you should perhaps take a second and think (I know, I know, all those little synapses firing randomly). Your little ding about the photoshop picture that heads the story was meant to be a clever jibe, wasn't. Maybe you should have read the caption below it.

    "Benjamin Netanyahu (left) after delivering a speech March 28, 2006, in Tel Aviv; Arcadi Gaydamak at a Beitar Jerusalem training session in August 2005." Nope, they really really really weren't trying to fool anyone: just the one fool who responded.

    If I had a nickel for every time I've heard the phrase "blood & treasure" . . .

    Where did this bumper-sticker cloying piece of shite come from?

    America, under the auspices of the far right, gambled and lost. Nobody likes a loser. Face the facts, losers hate themselves, that's why they act like the a-holes they are. Sorry folks, but if you have any dignity (now there's a word not much bandied about these days) you accept your losses, and take a walk. Otherwise you end up being a friggin' whiner talkin' about your lost gawddamded blood & treasure.

  • Let 'Em Howl

    [Read the article: Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    jpincus, like a whole lot of howlers out there today, writes:

    "The Nobel Peace prize is not what it once was. To give the prize to former President and unrepentent racist Jimmy Carter is one thing. To bestow it on Yasser Arafat, a man who deserves to rot in hell with Duvalier, Pol Pot, and Hitler is quite another."

    Arafat shared it with Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin. Like you say, a real discredit to the efforts of peace. Don't forget that Rabin was assassinated by a terrorist in 1995.

    And hey, how about the one they gave to Dick Cheney's mentor, Henry Kissinger. Talk about monsters.

    Gore deserves it. Says a whole lot about what the world it general thinks about present day America . . .

    BTW -- if you think the Nobel Peace Prize has no merit, how about those Presidential Medals of Freedom???
