Going 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.

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

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

res - 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I 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?

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.

Actually, the heat failed to materialize our way today... too close to the water. Further inland, however, it's quite toasty.
Either way, when Kos gets here, everybody's gonna jump for joy!

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.

There 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.
