I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
I'm angry.
At Joe. At ABC. At the neverending parade of assholery we are forced to endure.
Retardo always makes me laugh.
And at Air America, too, for completely cocking up the NY affiliate.
Oh Jeezux. This is from May 8?
Wonkette's a wee bit of a tart, but I guess she looks good on television.
Okay, well, just checking in. I'm off to the farmers market - gotta get that fresh produce while fresh is available.
Plus, it's the prettiest fucking place on the planet. Think I'll take my dig camera today and shoot some melons and squash and such.
Peach. I mean peace.
"Wonkette's a wee bit of a tart, but I guess she looks good on television.

At the risk of being sexist...she's kinda the Katie Couric of the blogosphere.
Katie Couric (shudders).

She's on a long list of people I'm pleased to know I will never meet.
"shoot some melons"
heh heh heh.
*********************************
grumpy = hungover?
Ok, I"m sure I just added to the grumpiness if this is seen.
Call me evil, call me Jay, or Ray...I don't care. I just never much got off on Katie Couric's Katie-ness.
I like strong, intelligent women. I can't think of any on tv at the moment.
Have a wondeful time at the Farmer's Market!
heh heh heh.
Thought that'd make someone laugh.
Poor At.
He's wrapped himself in the constitution and now shooting fahrballs up Rush's violated chute.
No wunder they's so ticked off.
Hey, Atrios. Way to link to the wrong article. Maybe you wanted this one?
http://sadlyno.com/archives/003000.html
Okay, I really must be going, or I'll never get my shit done!
Hope you feel better, Atrios. I hate being grumpy, and I don't wear it well.
Bye, Vicki, you tease!
Retardo Montalban always makes me think, " Thees ees my car....Cordoba!"
I'm not grumpy. Too tired to be grumpy. Wait 'til I get my coffee. Yes, I just woke up. Oy.

Go over and sit on the telly, Vicki. Now at last there's a strong, intelligent woman on TV.
"...As to “wanker,” of course Atrios knows its original meaning, but he doesn’t seem to have noticed its obvious inappropriateness as applied to a female."
We're equal opportunity as electrons passing through wires.
Here in Atriostan, women can have wankers.
We know about the little soldiers; remember the movie "Wet Towel; the Blinding of Karl Rove" in 7th grade?
I'm sick of being pissed off all the time.
I do have a slight sinus headache, though. Does that count?
Teh Onion:
"Bush: 'History Cannot Judge Me If I End It Soon'
September 7, 2006 | Issue 42•36
WASHINGTON, DC—Despite, or perhaps because of, rising fuel prices, the unpopularity of the U.S. presence in Iraq, and mounting legal problems surrounding his administration, President Bush informed his Cabinet Monday that he is unworried about his place in history, White House sources said. "I'm telling you, pretty soon some things are going to develop so that I won't have history to worry about any longer," Bush said. "History may be written by the winners, but it doesn't get written at all if all of human language is lost in, say, fire storms, right? So I can still get off the hook." Although troubles faced by his presidency have been relatively recent, sources said they believed Bush's plan had been put into motion long before he had even taken office."
Gosh, does anyone wear grumpy well?
Maybe it looks good on Dopey, but there's a strange bunching effect around the shoulders even there.

Reech Coreeentheean leaaatherrrrrr.
good morning, all. has anyone seen this?
Further complicating the situation for ABC was a prime-time address to the nation President George W. Bush has planned for 9 p.m. EDT on Monday to mark the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, right in the middle of part two of ABC's miniseries.
The network said it would air the first hour of the film, break for 20 minutes to carry Bush's speech live, then broadcast the rest of the movie.
And at Air America, too, for completely cocking up the NY affiliate.
res ipsa loquitur
Yeah, what's going on there? I thought I was going to hear Rachel Maddow and they're broadcasting Armstrong Williams? I mean, Armstrong Fucking Williams?????
As to “wanker,” of course Atrios knows its original meaning, but he doesn’t seem to have noticed its obvious inappropriateness as applied to a female.
Klieman need to pick up a book on the female anatomy, or visit a squirter site.
I'm sick of being pissed off all the time.
I'm pissed, but in the British sense...
Crushed veloooor seatsssssssssssssss (runs hand over seat)....
I have some dog pictures, motherfuckers.
So I can still get off the hook."
That gets me every time I read it.
Off the hook - that's what he's been doing his whole miserable excuse for a life - fucking up and getting off the hook.
Fuck you you retarded chimpanzee.
I do have a slight sinus headache, though. Does that count?
'Course it does, bucko! Use what ever you've got to clear it up. "Ocean" salt-water nasal spray even helps!

They were afraid their partisan pandering wasn't clear enough, you see.
I'm so glad I get Jones Network instead of AAR, Fathead Schultz notwithstanding.
re: air america - sam seder is moving to 9am, rachel maddow is moving to 7-9pm

The dog pictures are nice.
Shove those dog pictures up your ass.
Hope Woody's bitten hand is okay, and that he can figure out something good for Hannah.
I'm pissed, but in the British sense...
But it's not even 10am where you are.
Is that one dog biting Clinton's Penis, or what?
Wonkette's a wee bit of a tart, but I guess she looks good on television.
Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore
I don't read her stuff that much, but I see her as kind of a Maureen Dowd figure. Ostensibly on the side of good and right, but so obsessed with spinning snarky narratives about superficial High school-type stuff that she'll sell out her side for a good line.
Wanking is masturbating. Last time I checked, women could do it as well as men. Sometimes better.
Believe me, women can wank.

Good description. Thinks she's above the fray.
Unfortunately, there is no "above the fray" these days.

I refuse. It's the Diabelli Variations on the iPod.

Oh yes, yes they can!
I really like Duncan's new avatar...
One thing you can say for Wonkette. She parlayed an insatiable interest in ass-fucking into a job at TIME.com.
Wow. That rant from Retardo was absolutely Rude Punditian in its ferocity.
And the boy opened with two of my favorite 'phrases':
Fuck a bunch of Mark A. Kleiman. Fuck him and feed him fishheads.
Roll Retardo!!!!!

I do worry about you.

NTodd, CT's Next Senator
Seems Hannah just can't learn to get along with the other dog(s). Woody had to break up a dogfight and she bit him. Looks like he's going to have to find her a new home.

There's a time and a place for everything, and it's called college.
All Woody'd say was that he ghad to break up a dog fight, got bitten, and that Hannah cannot tolerate other dogs. That was painful sounding enough.

LUCKY!

I'd hit it. Then blog about it.

It was good for a laugh, but I hope he gets tired of it soon. Looking at Karl Rove first thing in the morning kind of sucks.

However, as a descriptive term, it's mostly a masculine maneuver, whereas with women...well...what comes to mind is Dane Cook's image of a DJ scratching at a turntable. 
Oh, poor Hannah.
Woody was in the emergency room last night. I know that because I was emailing him hysterically over the fact that almost every goddamn hotel in Alb is overbooked next week.
I ended up with a room out near the airport, so my hysteria was, as usual, misplaced.
But he emailed me this morning and said he'd gone to the emergency room last night.
Hope I'm not talking out of school...
When I look at Karl, he's saying, " See, I got this big wad of shit in my hand, and......."
It was good for a laugh, but I hope he gets tired of it soon. Looking at Karl Rove first thing in the morning kind of sucks.
I'd like to shove that mouse hat up his ass. Sideways. Wait ... it's probably more comfortable that way.
I'm glad Woody sought treatment. Bite wounds can be nasty!

A pretty neat trick. For most women, that would only get you a job at somewhat lesser media companies, like Private or Elegant Angel.

No, wait. Actually, my grandparents' dog bit my grandma once accidentally. She did nothing about it until they had to take her to the emergency room because of blood poisoning. Oy.

Not really. I mean, "jerking off," sure, but wanking? Not so much.

Boy, WGG can't seem to catch a break lately. I'm glad the stress of breaking up the fight apparently didn't precipitate a worse problem for him.

(good. I do care and I have worried.)
Now that I think about it, I was grumpy when I went to bed last night. People two doors down were out on their goddamn deck talking at 11:45. I finally got up and went outside and yelled at them - in a whisper - to knock it the fuck off.
Jebus H. Corndog! We're 2 threads under already! Atrios' fingers are breaking the sound barrier....
"...As to “wanker,” of course Atrios knows its original meaning, but he doesn’t seem to have noticed its obvious inappropriateness as applied to a female."
Note to Mr. Kleiman:
Calling someone a jack-off is an insult, and tho usually applied to the male contingent, is not limited to same.
Also, calling someone a jack-off is not to be confused with the act that ir describes.
Mr. Kleiman would not do well in a setting where insults are used regularly as gamesmanship (i.e. the dozens)...
Not really. I mean, "jerking off," sure, but wanking? Not so much.

Well, "jerk" would be the U.S equivalent to the British "wank." However, in the grand scheme of things, I suppose it doesn't matter, and as with all opinion, I continue to hold my own.
[
Ugh...too early for silly puns?]
In the above link, I found the following from the Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, which made me laugh, thinking about how our threads progress:
wank
/wangk/ [Columbia University: probably by mutation from Commonwealth slang "wank", to masturbate] Used much as hack is elsewhere, as a noun denoting a clever technique or person or the result of such cleverness. May describe (negatively) the act of hacking for hacking's sake ("Quit wanking, let's go get supper!") or (more positively) a wizard. "wanky" describes something particularly clever (a person, program, or algorithm). Conversations can also get wanky when there are too many wanks involved. This excess wankiness is signalled by an overload of the "wankometer" (compare bogometer). When the wankometer overloads, the conversation's subject must be changed, or all non-wanks will leave. Compare "neep-neeping" (under neep-neep). Usage: US only. In Britain and the Commonwealth this word is *extremely* rude and is best avoided unless one intends to give offense.
I'm staying outta this one. The last time I opined on the subject and defended wonkette, I completely trashed Jane Hamsher in my Assclowns of the Week, pissed off everyone, including Crooks and Liars' Mike Finn, who refused to link to it.
Then, the very next day, Jane Hamsher's mother passed away. That was the day I deleted my old blog, because that was the day the Left Blogosphere pissed me off and disappointed me to the point where I was about to walk away from blogging forever.
Was Ana Marie worth defending against the people who were trashing her? Absolutely she was and still is. Would I do it all over again? Fuck no. When I founded Pottersville in late June I realized that I have to pick my battles more judiciously than ever. Sometimes doing the right thing, I learned, isn't always the smartest thing.
Yet people like you, Duncan, and Hamsher and others who would seek to tear down those who are less deservinbg of snark than the sons of Al Capone who are currently running this country aground would do well to more judiciously pick their battles, too.
So as much as I love an Internet back alley fight, I'm staying out of this one.
Is there any chance that you could remove the word "retard" and any and all of it's variations from your vocabulary? Somehow it just seems to me to be more of a wingnut word.
Thanks
B. Dryer
This is a perfect example of why the MSM is contemptuous of blogs. Going over what one blogger said about another blogger and then the other blogger defended that blogger.. blah, blah, blah.
Who gives a shit?
Peter, it's not that it's a he said, she said thing, it's the principle of the matter that pertains: some people value civility over decency, and Kleiman is a perfect example.
