HULK SMASHED

FUCK BUSH IMMEDIATELY


And Gwen Awful is a liar?
PBS Sucks the Green Weenie?
If they actually lost their pretentiousness there would nothing left?
They believe they know what you do not know when they do not even understand what an intelligent child understands without instruction?

GravatarJust what I always wanted: free space to write and write and write.

You see reporting the news depends (apparently) on no knowlege of history, no knowledge of the Constitution, Adherence to obviously fascist policies in the name of protecting America from terra ists.


GravatarIn which I take Rick Moran to task for not quite understanding Hamdan v. Rumsfeld.


GravatarI was away from the radio when that bit was on... but caught a funny re: Rush... and how he's facing a "stiff" penalty.

So it's not all bad.

NPR beats PBS all to shit.


GravatarNo she diiiiiiiiiiiiiin't!


GravatarI heard that this morning and wanted to put my fist right through the radio. My blood boiled.

Sing song voice she had. La de da.

What a liar.


GravatarDamn Steve, I was going for a Grand Slam HR. Discourse on four subjects in a row. Well, we all need dreams.


GravatarThis is only typical of a Winston Smith media machine that resorts to creative (and blatantly dishonest) editing. Remember when FOX "News" edited that clip of Fahrenheit 9/11 when they reported on that soldier suing Michael Moore for "using" him as an anti-war voice?


GravatarAppropos of nothing.

Yes.


GravatarApropos of nothing...uh, I got nothing.

Gravatarshe figured she could get away with lying on the show, no one would remember enough details to call her on it, and later...the main thing is getting the propaganda out there, regardless of whether it gets refuted or not.


GravatarAs we have all noted, countless times, these people lie like they breathe. Every. fucking. moment. if. every. fucking. day.

And..night. 24/7. Alla time.


GravatarWhat did you expect from Condi's-er-Friend?

Gravatarwhere's the Dalek when we need him to EXTERMINATE Watertiger's tv?


GravatarDamn Steve, I was going for a Grand Slam HR. Discourse on four subjects in a row. Well, we all need dreams.

Had I but known...that would have been a great feat, maybe even a grate feet.


GravatarIsn't she a close personal friend of Condiliar? Aren't they tennis partners or something? Sort of the Britt Hume of the distaff side.

How, exactly, was she picked to moderate a debate?


GravatarLiar, liar pants on fire -

Not only are the righwing media liars, they are so fucking stupid about it.

They act like there's no such thing as a record anywhere of anything they've ever said. They're arguments and statements are so goddamned situation-based, they just totally forget them once the situation is over. I guess. Or, she's just a liar and doesn't give a shit, like her president, which is far more likely.


GravatarOkay, last try.

Notice me, you bastards!!!!

RAINBOW TROUT STUFFED WITH SPINACH, PINE NUTS AND DILL

GravatarYay! I was greenlit! (Wait this isn't FARK?)

Anyway, the link works better in IE.


GravatarGwen may be a terrible reporter when it comes to reporting events she was at but Condiliar Rice likes her home cooking...

GravatarI heard that while I was having my coffee at Starbucks. I almost fell out of my chair. I was sure she was wrong and I was going to check it out. Thanks, for the post Atrios.

GravatarWAs this the Eschaton equivalent of "stupid stories my producers make me cover"?


GravatarGoing to watch more B5 while I wait for "army of ghosts" to finish.

Don't any of you fuckers even think about patenting the design for the TV Cannon while I'm gone.


Gravatarout to eat canadian beek and drink canadian beer

GravatarJust another example, of thousands, that PBS isn't any more informed or objective than CBS, NBC or, sometimes quite sadly, fox. PBS used to be different. Then the rethugs utterly ruined it. This might be the only cogent argument against government supported (at any level) media that I would care to make.

PBS=unlistenable (with some noteable exceptions)


GravatarHere's a place to contact Ms Ifill, if anyone's interested. I heard that today, too, and was hoping someone would check the transcript. You had to hear the tone in her voice as she brought up Edwards' "a propos of nothing" reference to Mary Cheney's sexuality. So full of dismissive contempt for that cheap political stunt.

http://www.pbs.org/weta/washingt...k/ feedback.html


GravatarThey act like there's no such thing as a record anywhere of anything they've ever said.

In Wingnuttia there is no memory.

See: John Ralston Saul, "The Unconcious Civilization"


GravatarPardon my acronym confusion, switch PBS with NPR


GravatarThese people really hasven't figured out the whjole "public record" thing, have they?

Oh, and billy b from downstairs:
Good lord -that is the funniest thing I've read all day, true or not.

It is 100% true.


GravatarGwen? You're awful.


GravatarMolly Ivors:

In case you didn't see it downstairs,
I'll burn you a copy of Wonderwood

Don't know why I never thought of
it before...


GravatarAnd, yes, sorry, Happy Canada Day to our saner friends to the north.


GravatarSCROLL TROLL COMMENT SCRUBBED



GravatarAh, but the trannie just does not capture the inflection, the contempt, in her voice as she lays it all at the feet of John Edwards.

GravatarOr, she's just a liar and doesn't give a shit, like her president, which is far more likely.
Tena


Yeah. That and, like pretzelattack said, she knew nobody would remember enough to call her on it. So now she's got it "out there" that Edwards just pulled the comment out of his ass.
Which will be the soundbite if he runs again.


GravatarIn the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages, to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and in the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.


GravatarPlum...um...Canadian "beek"....?


Gravatarsteve,
I would love that. I'll be down in NYC in 2 weeks. And I'm kidnapping you and taking you out on July 14, so no big Bastille Day plans with Mother Simels, got me?


GravatarHey, flory:

I posted the recipe yet again near
the top of the thread.


GravatarDon't forget that after Edwards made that statement about family love and Cheney's gay daughter, in the 2004 Vice Presidential debates, Cheney thanked him nicely.

Then, after one of the Kerry-Bush debates (I forget which one), Mrs. Cheney went faux-ballistic over Kerry mentioning the gay daughter.


GravatarCheney: "In effect, what's happened is that in recent months, especially in Massachusetts, but also in California, but in Massachusetts we had the Massachusetts Supreme Court direct the state of -- the legislature of Massachusetts to modify their constitution to allow gay marriage."

Ugh. That is not it at all. Why can't they tell their view without lying? And why didn't some young, intrepid reporter catch this bullshit at the time?


GravatarThanks steve!!


GravatarI would love that. I'll be down in NYC in 2 weeks. And I'm kidnapping you and

GravatarOhmigosh....what's that sound I hear
wafting through my windows here at
Casa Simels?

Why....it's the siren song of elitist
chardonnay, and I must respond to it

Which means see you guys later this
evening, I hope.


GravatarGwen, jump off that tower of yours in Paris, wouldja?


GravatarI hope someone (or 5,000 someones) has thoughtfully provided the Wait, Wait... producers at NPR with the earlier transcript.

GravatarAn ethical dilemma: Is it better for the government to promise aid they don't deliver, or to tell you up front you're not getting bupkis?

Kansas has a bigger need. As does Utah.


GravatarLater, peeps. Out to dinner with my sister and mother in law.

I'm starving.


GravatarAnd you used your family's experience as a context for your remarks. Can you describe then your administration's support for a constitutional ban on same-sex unions?


GravatarSo, One of the reasons I hang around here?

Tonight big sister and wife wanted to go to a movie. I said I would like to go and see either Heart of Gold or The Notorious Bettie Page. (at the financially strapped indy theater here)

Reply: Notorious Bettie Page is pornography. Neil Young? Let's go and see Chevy Chase in RV.

And here I am - they are off to see a terrible movie.


GravatarUm, this is probably going to get me dogpiled, but when did Chardonnay become elitist? I mean, this is the wine used to introduce children to wine.. least potentially offensive to the non-wine drinker.


GravatarLynne Cheney's "How dare you note that my daughter is an out lesbian" schitck was ridiculous, but the MSM took it up immediately.


GravatarCanada has survived another year, as apparently I have as well. But there's still booze in the fridge, and the night is young, so there's that.


GravatarSorry - Robin Williams - got my bad comedians' movies mixed up.


GravatarAnd you used your family's experience as a context for your remarks. Can you describe then your administration's support for a constitutional ban on same-sex unions?

Now that isn't really a question that Sen. Edwards could respond to, now, is it? Apropos of nothing, my fucking eye. I have a baseball bat apropos of you being full of shit.


GravatarBut there's still booze in the fridge,

I can help you with that...


Gravatardims puke lies from round gag holes


GravatarChardonnay's conflation with quiche-eating liberal elitists has conferred the appelation. Think of it as Carneros.


GravatarKansas has a bigger need. As does Utah.

If it were going to Louisiana, I could see it, you know? But they've completely destroyed our economy here (and no, Uncle Wingnut, it wasn't the taxes that did it), so I think it's gonna be pretty bad for a while.

And I keep telling myself this was mild, not even a named storm. *Shudder*


GravatarThis worthless bitch is yet another media twit who will be fed to the Ducks when The Revoultion comes.


GravatarSomehow I missed Edwards saying this:

Yes. Let me say first, on an issue that the vice president said in his last answer before we got to this question, talking about tax policy, the country needs to know that under what they have put in place and want to put in place, a millionaire sitting by their swimming pool, collecting their statements to see how much money they're making, make their money from dividends, pays a lower tax rate than the men and women who are receiving paychecks for serving on the ground in Iraq.

That should have been a TV commercial, and the only one. Say it over and over and over again.


GravatarSUCCESS!

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Gwen I-filledwith shit.


Gravatarah, dith; back speading cheer and positivity!


GravatarCanada has survived another year, as apparently I have as well. But there's still booze in the fridge, and the night is young, so there's that.

Happy Canada Day, Moe! Say hi to Carl Newman for me, if you see him!


GravatarLynne Cheney's "How dare you note that my daughter is an out lesbian" schitck was ridiculous, but the MSM took it up immediately.
plantsman, lowercase

Oh, I think Lynne's unease with this subject is genuine. She freaked out on fellow Botoxee Cokie in '00 for bringing it up, at a time when Mary was, IIRC, Liaison to the Gay Community for Coors Brewing, which in itself is really weird. That a clan of Nazis would hire a fascist's daughter to sell piss-water beer to gays. But I never have understood marketing.


GravatarAn ethical dilemma: Is it better for the government to promise aid they don't deliver, or to tell you up front you're not getting bupkis?

Ethically? I would say tell you up front. At least they would not be lying.

GravatarThis is known as the Donimus Theory of Relativity: anyone of these big fat Gang of 500 "journalists" can go on any show they want and say any goddamned thing they want. No one will care. On their own shows, however, they have to pretend to have standards.

Is steel-barrell Chardonnay more or less elitist than the oaky stuff?

GravatarWatertiger, I shall have a glass of red wine (peasant that I am) to celebrate your accomplishment.

GravatarI shan't mention the 69% percent chance Max Mayfield gave for major hurricane landfall on the

as long as you recycle the bottle and reuse the bag every day....

I no longer watch This Week with whoever...Does George Will still trot out that chestnut about "the three R's of liberalism: Racism, Recycling and Reproduction" every chance he gets, or forces?

Cuz that's just another day in the life for the South.


GravatarYou mean mid-Atlantic/Northeast, right?

Dat be it.


GravatarWhen I showed up here, the "elitist chardonnay" seemed to already be an old joke with Simels. The phrase does seem somewhat popular.


By the way, here's a reference, via NTodd (bless him for creating those pages).

The link in that last bit points to this photo.

*SIGH* Such a lovely tableau, devoutly to be wish'd.

One day, perhaps, I'll find my way to New York....


GravatarIt was nice to see Jon Stewart pin down Bennett on this issue: getting him to admit that gay people didn't deserve families of their own was more honesty about what they believe than they usually show.


GravatarWell, that Stomping Tom concert on CTV starts in ten minutes, so I better get something going on the stove and break out another bottle of wine. Mrs. Moe is in a, er, great mood tonight, and the fireworks are scheduled for 10 o'clock, just over the harbour, no doubt as soon as the Stampeders concert is over. See ya'all later.


GravatarBut those of us who are TRULY elite drink Sancerre.


Ha, I can go you one better.

Gamay Noir Droit. Only grown on the Bench.

Now that's fucking elitist.


GravatarThe Cheney grandkids didn't get to the shuttle blast off, but I guess the NASCAR still happened.

GravatarI don't show up on film.

Molly,

It is standard operating procedure. One of the many reasons I don't like having my picture taken.

GravatarNTodd--no, misunderstood babysitting instructions.

I was under the impression we were to go to their house; they were under the impression they were bringing the baby here. Which generated yelling at us and then she and her husband arguing.

I apologized profusely and have offered to buy them dinner while we watch the baby, and a movie afterwards. I hope they take me up on it.
