I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

GravatarHow much ground would a groundhog ground if a goundhog could hog ground?


GravatarYea!


GravatarOh, fine. Everybody ran off and left me on the old thread that I killed.

Unless this is the first post, then "FIRST!!!!111"


GravatarCrap!


GravatarDAMMIT

REVISED VERSION FOLLOWS

How much ground would a groundhog hog if a goundhog could hog ground?


GravatarGoddammit.


GravatarGoing to a dinner party where there will be at least one wingnut (a gay republican, no less) in attendance this evening.

But Kos said it was okay. So no worries.


GravatarCrap!
Snow


Oh, you folks who are always cursing the weather! Have you nothin' better to do?


GravatarAufwiedersehen.


GravatarAlright, folks, enjoy your evening. There's a sacred feminine downstairs. (Actually, two if you include the cat.)


GravatarFuck Bush!


GravatarFirst there was Kos, and then he said, 'let there be light'


Gravataram I the only Wolcott reader who doesn't get the Jerry Zipkin reference?


Gravatarhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/ 2...artner=homepage


GravatarI give up.


GravatarWhat do you want to know about Jerry Zipkin?

res ipsa loquitur


Just remember, Res:

while it may be true, it's inappopriate to ask "so what happened in your childhood to make you such a self-loathing prick?"


GravatarGoddammit.
Jennifer

Same here!
Got distracted talking to Melissa.

Last time I let that happen.



GravatarDemByDefault ..

Zipkin was a NY socialite famous for showing up at Studio 54 (and, subsequently, in all the gossip columns) throughout the '70s.


GravatarHmmm- the snotty attitude, the suggestion of an advanced English degree, the use of the Ashlyn Gere handle.... Gary, I'm going to guess: is our mystery troll David Duchovny?


GravatarFist! Oh.
.


GravatarZipkin was also one of Cary Grant's boytoys.

He ended his career as Nancy Reagan's "walker."


Gravatarres - be sure to tell him about that big long-term study that proves that whiners grow up to be conservatives.

You might want to throw in the information about that study that proved that homophobes are more aroused by gay porno than self-identified straight men who aren't avowedly homophobic, too.


GravatarWho's on first?


Gravatarwhile it may be true, it's inappopriate to ask "so what happened in your childhood to make you such a self-loathing prick?"

jac ... This idiot and I have mixed it up on multiple occasions. Once I told him that the subtitle for his life ought to be "I Hate Myself for Loving You." I have this feeling he is going to fuck with me tonight (because he practically begs for me to spank him every time I see him) and I'm telling you right now that I am going to make him sorry he was ever born let alone pulled a lever for the republican party.


GravatarWhat do you want to know about Jerry Zipkin?
David Ehrenstein

I googled him, and got pages for Ronald Reagan, Nancy Reagan, Truman Capote, and one from Free Republic. That's a hell of a nexus.


GravatarDid Kos approve this thread?

'Cause I ain't postin nuthin' if Kos didn't approve it!


GravatarHmmm- the snotty attitude, the suggestion of an advanced English degree, the use of the Ashlyn Gere handle.... Gary, I'm going to guess: is our mystery troll David Duchovny?

Could be the Pasteman.


GravatarHe is the Pasteman
Goo goo ga joob...


GravatarCould be the Pasteman.

Nah, Ashlyn's old news. It was cluttering up the threads a lot about a year back, trying to be "literary " inna David Patterson stylee.


GravatarYou go Res.. get him girl Even my blog which people do not read much has a GOP loving guy who usually just trolls if I post political stuff. But we are pretty civil to each other FWIW.


GravatarEvening, rational people.

I knew sooner or later threadbot would come through.


GravatarOh I did not ask Kos if I could start my own blog. Waaaahh!


Gravatargoodnight moonbats


GravatarIn which we beat up on a few of the KlownHall Kulturkampfers. Why? Because we can.


GravatarMoonbootica..sleep well.


Gravatar I can't believe no one's said this yet, but....

Kos is Keyser Soze!

Pffft. That was just too obvious.

Jealousy doesn't suit you, angel.


Gravatar Oh I did not ask Kos if I could start my own blog. Waaaahh!

I did not ask him to marry me.


Gravatarand I'm telling you right now that I am going to make him sorry he was ever born let alone pulled a lever for the republican party. - res ipsa loquitur

hee! a detailed post-incident combat report is looked forward to expectantly.


GravatarIn brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight,
Let those who worship the right-wing's might
Beware my power - Green Kos' light!


GravatarThis Kos/Bobo thing has me thinking -- what IS the trouble with the Left Blogosphere?

Some think that it's effulgent; me, I think it's ellipsoidal.


GravatarJealousy doesn't suit you, angel.

That wasn't jealousy! It was, uh...a vaguely snarky dismissal!


Gravatarkarmicjay ...

Get this. Once this idiot showed up to a party I was at, started a beef with me, and then pulled out a file of what he called "evidence" to prove his point.

The "evidence" consisted of (and no, I am not making this up) opinion columns by John Tierney, Peter Beinart, and David Brooks.


GravatarI'm telling you right now that I am going to make him sorry he was ever born let alone pulled a lever for the republican party.

Oh, great. Another uppity feminista who doesn't know her place


And *poof*, like that, I'm gone. Before Res kicks my ass.

All I know is, it slakes my feminine thirst for color.


GravatarYou might want to throw in the information about that study that proved that homophobes are more aroused by gay porno than self-identified straight men who aren't avowedly homophobic, too. -Jennifer

To be fair to the homophobes, their arousal could have been a result of their imagining beating the porno actors to death with pipes and then leaving them to die in a field. You never really know what turns some people on.


GravatarI think it's effluent.


GravatarAll right, we're off to see An Inconvenient Troot.

Kos is babysitting.

Layta!


GravatarIf Kevin Spacey plays Kos, Matt Damon could play Atrios. Or they could be played by Luke and Owen Wilson, though obviously that weould be a different kind of film.


GravatarThe "evidence" consisted of (and no, I am not making this up) opinion columns by John Tierney, Peter Beinart, and David Brooks.

Slightly OT, this reminds me of a Brent Bozell column I once read, where he listed the Top Ten Examples of Liberal Media Bias for year X, I think this was back in the Clinton days. Exactly one came from a news report, the rest were all from opinion columns.

Well, there's three unwisemen for ya.


GravatarHe brought a file to a party?

Oh, res, maybe he's too far gone....

And now I have to get ready to go too. Kisses all around!


GravatarRes..he lives in his fantasy world. *sigh* grasping at straws to keep his world view alive!

NTodd..Hanging in there man? Stay Strong!


GravatarMe, I think it's fluish, but I'm Polish, so I could be wrong.

With Crispin Glover as Jeff Goldstein.


GravatarThe Mighty Kos... wasn't he the idol those Muppets worshipped in those old "Saturday Night Live" skits in the show's first season?

Or am I thinking of that Dylan song Manfred Mann covered...


Gravatarkarmicjay - hanging, thanks.


GravatarThis can only be another stupid open thread if Kos says it is. So far, I've not recieved his email with instructions to declare it as such.
I'll let you know if I do.


GravatarSome think that it's effulgent; me, I think it's ellipsoidal.
Thers, Blogfascist


Oblately spheroidal.


GravatarKos is HAL!

You were deleted from the mailing list.


GravatarI think Kos should make an appearance on "Harvey Birdman"... I'd cast Hajii from "Jonny Quest", personally...

That's funny...I just had to write this thing explaining how to conduct research, and I was careful to explain that opinion columns don't count as information.


GravatarIs that the heat or substances talking?
bo

that reminds me, I haven't gotten drunk on beer in the hot sun yet this year. I'm getting old.


GravatarYou were deleted from the mailing list.

Sez you! Actually, a fake mailing list was set up with you as the only member. You've been out of the loop for some time now... watch your back. I'll say no more.


GravatarGet this. Once this idiot showed up to a party I was at, started a beef with me, and then pulled out a file of what he called "evidence" to prove his point. - ril

My sophomore year of college I ended up with a wingnut roommate. Every political argument we had would result in his pulling out his file of National Review clippings. When it stopped being fun I would just point out that since he wasn't even a US citizen he had no right to an opinion- then he would get mad and go to his room and blast AC/DC.


GravatarKOS told me to write that Atrios is GOD.

If I don't he's gonna sic Armando on me.


Atrios is GOD

Fuck. I KNEW it.


GravatarMailing list?

I am so sick of picking cherries. I'm laying big money that the wife is sick of pitting them. Tommorrow morning is the last effort. The birds will get the remainder on the tree from there. I'll concentrate on the wild black raspberries for a couple weeks.


GravatarI have to admit, I've enjoyed the "trolling" I've done at that lame Scrutator blog (I put it in quotations because, unlike the trolls, I actually post facts and content over there)...for the last several days, I've been holding one of their bloggers' feet to the fire over claims (actually repetition of GOP talking points) that a minimum wage increase would have severe and devastating economic impacts. So I've been needling her for DAYS to post some raw data: when the wage has been increased previously, by how much, what was the unemployment rate in the 1-2 years following, did it go up or down, was the economy booming or struggling following the wage increase, etc.

Finally the bint posts a link to a 1998 GOP Senate bullshit piece about how raising the wage again in 98 (as had been done in both 96 and 97, with no ill effect on a booming economy where many typically minimum wage jobs were paying several dollars more per hour in the tight labor market) would return us to the Carter malaise. You know, the energy shocks of the 70s and the high interest rates, raised to slow the inflation caused by those energy shocks, had nothing at all to do with it. All of it was caused by the burger flippers demanding another $.30 per hour.

What is it with these morons that they can't determine the difference between opinion and spin and raw data?


GravatarThat's funny...I just had to write this thing explaining how to conduct research, and I was careful to explain that opinion columns don't count as information.

Well if (already documented) empty, rusting shells from pre 1991 in Iraq can be counted to be "newly discovered WMDs"
then opinion coulmns can be information or proof.


GravatarIs that the heat or substances talking?

Actually, the heat failed to materialize our way today... too close to the water. Further inland, however, it's quite toasty.

BTW, here's a pic of the Mighty Kos (lower left)...


GravatarI know I know - Kos is the Clenis™!


GravatarOr am I thinking of that Dylan song Manfred Mann covered... - dave™©

Either way, when Kos gets here, everybody's gonna jump for joy!


GravatarI'm getting old. - DemByDefault

It occurred to me while I was out walking this morning, regardless of the bitching of every joint between the right side of my pelvis and my right little toe, that the notion of the soul really doesn't become tenable until the point where you find yourself still full of volition, but your body refuses to go along with the program.

More like everybody's gonna wanna doze (or is that "dose"?)...


GravatarPoints to Tena for using the proper nomenclature for denoting the Clenis;&trade.

But Kos, much like Michael J Fox having no Elvis, is not the mighty Clenis;&trade.


GravatarDamn. Then I go and fuck up my post by getting the nomenclature wrong.

ah hhh nothin you can't fix with the right pharma mix


GravatarThere are many things about my new blog that differ from the old one, except I've brought Maureen Dowd and "Twenty Bucks, Same as in Town" along with me. And, man oh man, do I have some good blogs to whore, including the Liberal Avenger's golden find of a YouTube video that you've simply got to see to believe. Enjoy and show some love to your fellow bloggers.
