GBT: "Glenn is 100% wrong on this issue and his posturing is not noble nor productive..

deal with this truth and stop trying to make me the Black Boogie man..that is a tired bit...."

??????

Persecution complex, much?? Or are you reading between the lines??? Personally, I don't see a black guy, let alone a guy who sees himself as the Black Boogie man, using the term "LOL":

Boy, is my face red. I had actually thought that the seemingly purposeful mispellings, the wanna-slap-your-forehead-in-embarrassment-for-a-fellow-human 'taunts' (cries for help??), and the put-on in-yer-face-sucker pose were the work of an adolescent troll doing some role play. It's not. It's more insidious. Thanks DeClaw for pointing this out!

"GBT's "lol,lol,lol" is not "LOL, LOL, LOL," as in "laugh out loud." It is in fact a representation of three little men, shown only from the shoulders up, with their arms raised in avant-garde dance."

What did we used to call those marks? Emoticons? You know, trying to make a cute little face utilizing the symbols on the keyboard. Now that you have pointed it out I can see the three little men with arms raised.

So lo,lo,lo would be three nazis saluting the fuhrer. And ~~ol~~ would be some guy bobbing in the water and waving for help. Gotcha. So Great Big Turd is actually attaching the three little men dancing ("Yes we can lol,lol,lol Yes we can!") to his posts as a way of messing with our heads??

"Sort of kitsch, but I can see why the kids might like it."

True, and I betcha he knows it . . .

. . . and rise to the nasty tied-fly that dance, lamely on the surface. And this one smells beacoup faux. Sewer soup indeed. Think Karl Rove rapping. Man, that image put my cats off their food for an entire week. The 1977 reference makes sense, but I'm thinking more of Starsky & Hutches' Huggy-bear rather than Starwars. Like Huggy on a really strung out day, caught in a time-warp in a really bad time. Like after flipping the bird at Mr. T, and being dumb enough to get caught. The references, the language, the total lack of cool make me believe we've got a one-handed typer here. The other rummaging around, well, you get the picture . . .

Yes, let's. Not.

A sotted, soiled & soured string.

Unravelling all by itself. The yarn cannot hold.

And all the while, swayin', staggerin', pissin' into the punchbowl & mumblin' to yourself about all those other assholes who aren't here to be in on your great joke. Ha! Served them right. Hey, where'd all those pussies go?

And the evening comes, and swallows you up in its madness, and spits you out, cold, unshaven and bitter. And you spend that weak wintery morning stewing in your very own bitter juices . . .

Which are built on the carcasses of those unfortunates who don't bend the knee or tow the line. Because Americans are exceptional people (kinda of like the Israelis who are dispossessing -- with a wink & a nod from us -- the non-jewish folks who are squatting on the land that 'gawd' promised the said Israelis). But I don't see much difference between the present POS that is running the show (the C in C for you folks who wear the uniform)with the past POS who running the show in the goodle days. Yikes, even Samuel Clements despised his government (which probably murdered more little brown folks then our present government has murdered) and was much more coherent and witty than our present pin-headed punits -- read his war prayer sometime. And that dirty little war in the Phillipines (to pacify and xtanize the pagans -- despite the fact most were RCs) was just as phony, and just as profitable, as our present dirty stinking war(s). And there are people out there, slack-jawed 'exceptionals' who believe our government. Hell, support them. Worship the flag. Hold the military in high esteem. I'm not surprised at the contempt that these yokels hold the about lives, freedoms, thoughts, beliefs of other people who aren't us. So, no. I don't have much faith in the future. And even less about the people we groundhogs keep giving badges and whistles aned guns and power to.

. . . for the collaborators, quislings and sundry other criminals who have not been responsible for not only implementing these crimes, but for the 'good Germans' who actually put the boot in. The guys that did this to other people. Only following orers kinds of people (I believe there is an option in the military for people NOT to do shit that goes against their conscience -- that's a whole different can of worms, the pressure to do bad shit because you'd like like a pussy, or would not be a patriot, or you'd be off the team, or whatever). Yup, there may have been a few good eggs, like the mythical 'gook' that drew a cross in the sand for McCain while he was doing his hard time, but for the most part, what do we do with the goons that participated?? Do we forgive them, as the South Africans did, or do we get all vindictive on them?? Me? I'd hate to know that the guy (or woman) living next door was a former prison guard / interrogator / wedding-party bomber or just a jarhead who rained willy-pete on civilians . . .

Or maybe a lawyers. totallyblase wrote: ". . . for the collaborators, quislings and sundry other criminals who have not been responsible for not only implementing these crimes . . . "

Huh?? Jaysus, I look and the mirror and I see Rummy looking back, except with better hair . . .

To add fuel to the flames of idiocy, totallyblase continues: "the pressure to do bad shit because you'd like like a pussy . . . "

Like like a pussy?? Iggy Pop went one better with Does Your Pussy Walk . . . .

Memo to totallyblase: ease back on the French Roast
