GravatarWhoops. Read the wrong post.

My bad.


GravatarJacking-off in jack boots was just one of his many quirks.


GravatarGuess that means I should go lie down.

peace out.


GravatarRead the wrong post.

They are all right posts.


Gravatar"The president’s planned visit to The First State is scheduled for Wednesday, a day after he’s expected to deliver his State of the Union address to the country."

I will have to try to get an audience with preznit since he is coming to my town on Wednesday


GravatarOh, gah.

That's disgusting.


GravatarSorry, but what did any of that have to do with Lee Siegel?

GravatarLinky is for Brownback post.

GravatarI'm pulling for Brownback to get the GOP nomination (and to emulate his predecessor and resign his Senate seat to run).


GravatarEvening, Moonbats


GravatarIs this about Hitler jerking off or Lee Siegel?


GravatarAfter my recent trip to Iraq, I am even more convinced that the situation there is precarious, but hopeful. I see hope in the Iraqi people. I believe this hope will be the foundation of a new Iraqi society. Much remains to be done, and I think we need a plan to turn this country over to its citizens. I will continue to work with the leaders in our country, as well as leaders in Iraq, to find a solution that protects the future of Iraq, and the pride and dignity of its citizens.


IOW, If elected, you bet your worthless ass I'll bomb the everloving shit out of them untill they democrasize themselves.

GravatarWhy would anyone publish Siegel? Seriously. Never mind, there is no answer to that question.

GravatarSo Hitler is Wanker of the Century?


GravatarOne of the more enjoyable moments I have had in the course of writing my diss was when I was able to show how much less radical Norman Mailer's first novel was than many pulp novels of the day.


GravatarIrony is too puny a sword in this epic battle.


GravatarAfter (unforgettably described) sex with Adolf's future father, Alois Schicklgruber, Hitler's future mother, Klara Poelzl, experiences a guilt that is "as heavy as a waterlogged tree."

In a travesty of nature and procreation, the young Adolf Hitler likes to masturbate on leaves.


GravatarSteveLG--Hitler was so last century.

I think Bush is giving him a run for his money.

GravatarARE YOU GOING TO TELL US THAT YOU DO NOT APPRECIATE THE LEGEND THAT IS LEE SIEGEL? We just happened to be dreaming about him, muscles strained with hoing of ancient Levantine earth, with his shirt open in the breeze of the land his God gave to him because he's the kind of columnist only God can appreciate.


GravatarLee Siegel is serious.

Yer not.


GravatarMaybe Brownback can take over from Bob Barker on "The Price is Right."

Es verdad.


GravatarSiegel is obsessed with jack booted fantasies of Hitler jacking-off, it's ironically ironic.


GravatarI can't read that entire review. I simply cannot. Too much prose.


GravatarSiegel:

Somewhere along the line, Dieter remarks on "that curious human nature, which forces its way into existence between the hazards of urine and excrement, yet will later dream each night of a noble life." Inter faeces et urinam, another of this novel’s themes, is a further twist on "nakedness" and on mortal helplessness.

.... Adolf, whose onanistic sessions are like "being shot out of his own cannon."

Perhaps there is a lovely homeless serial killer in need of a nice knife?


GravatarFor Hitler to masturbate on leaves honestly doesn't really mean anything. This obsessive fetishizing of unimportant details is going to humanize and make more sympathetic history's worst dictator.


GravatarNow write a spoof of Siegel.


GravatarI'm pretty sure that Norman Mailer, by his own description, had a "modest Jewish dick".

Well, you are not a Republican so I think you fail to have the proper perspective.


GravatarIf you're Jewish, there is no non-observation to be made about the Holocaust that is too empty, stupid, ahistorical or laughable to be rejected. One wonders what would happen if a kraut wrote a comic book about the extermination of Jewish plague rats by cartoon cats or "Everything is Illuminated" or crap about Hitler's masturbative habits being somehow important. If an Armenian wanted national attention for a fixation on how Kemal Ataturk took his coffee and what that meant in terms of Turkish government policy would anyone pay attention to him? Lee Siegel is an embarassment and we predict he will die richer than any of us.

GravatarMan that's some terrific writing:

There is a semi-harrowing, careening, self-burlesquing moment that occurs deep in Norman Mailer’s “Armies of the Night,” his third-person account of taking part in the massive protest against the Vietnam War in Washington in October 1967 — not only an American masterpiece, but one of the most liberating books ever swirled into being by a human mind.

GravatarOne of our favorite features of the Howard Stern show, the Black Israelites, would jabber about how the Nazis had four uniforms. They introduced this fact one Great Nazi at a time -- Goebbels had four, Goering had four (we're pretty sure he had more but we know what they meant), Himmler had four even though he had his own service and all theirs were black, etc.. This quartet of uniforms was terribly important. We do not recall why (although, and this prolly isn't it, in East Asia the Chinese for death puns with the Chinese for four, making four unlucky. Also "happiness" puns with "eight."). If we submit this same idea to Lee Siegel under different names, how much money do you think is in it? A numerical kabbalah thing about four being bad, in light of the unique horror of the Nazis.

UPDATE: There were preliminary reports of a possible huge explosion in the Iranian desert on Thursday, but these have not been followed up in the general media.

The object was observed to be on fire as it crashed, and was emitting thick smoke. Similar incidents have been reported all over Iran for the past year, and many officials believe that they may be US espionage devices.

How on earth can you know that?


GravatarWho knew rosebuds were crunchible? Who knew crunchible was a word?

When the gigantic cockroach finally broke into the oval office and began to eat president bush, it discovered that a president could not only be impeached but be crunchible.


GravatarBut if your posts are extraneous in the first place, what does it matter how many words you use?

It's like climbing a mountain. Unless the scenery is really beautiful you go the direct route, assuming it is safe?


GravatarWho knew rosebuds were crunchible?

Hitler, apparently. And history's greatest monster and thornbush masturbator, Jimmy Carter.

GravatarThere are a number of really odd works from the late 18th century devoted to defining the "beautiful" v. the "sublime."

The sublime is that which is large, and curved, and far away, according to one of the, um, authorities on the subject.

Gravatar"There were now and then, though rarely,the hours that brought the welcome shock, pulled down the walls and brought me back from my wanderings to the living heart of the world. Sadly and yet deeply moved, I set myself to recall the last of these experiences. It was at a concert of old music. After two or three notes of the piano the door was opened of a sudden to the other world. I sped through heaven and saw God at work. I suffered holy pains. I dropped all my defenses and was afraid of nothing in the world. I accepted all things and to all things I gave up my heart. It did not last very long, a quarter of an hour, perhaps; but it returned to me in a dream at night, and since, through all the barren days, I caught a glimpse of it now and then. Sometimes for a minute or two I saw it clearly, threading my life like a divine and golden track." Steppenwolf - Herman Hesse

How about if I offer you (and the delectably named Nancy Willing) some of my nicely chilled chardonnay as well as a warm shoulder and a willing ear?


Gravatarer, well yes
I was making an analogy to hair and failed miserably.

Nancy Willing

Never underestimate the power of a dirteh mind.


Gravatarmena,
It is going to take time.
If I knew how to make those hug signs I would.

Brilliant!

{{{{{MENA!}}}}}

So, there.


Gravatarmena, most of the time I don't even realize I even need help until I'm ready to pop. I was pretty down for this reason most of the day.


GravatarSmack! So the billions you would need to stealthify and miniaturize your spy fleet, you're going to borrow from who?

the Philly veterans hoepital has a teevee commercial on that is pretty much beggin for gifts because their funding was cut.
the money is siphened away from humane purpose to insane ones.

nothing is as warm as two women, maybe three.


GravatarI was pretty down myself until earlier this week. For some reason, the lengthening days and shortening Rethgulofascist power make for a happier, healthier me.

I can't speak to three, but I can speak to two. Tey talked all night long. I had to roll to the edge of the bed to get any sleep at all. Had to work the next day, you know.


GravatarManhammer - I'm here. I won't go away yet, since I guess I've reached out, and you lovely people are giving a shit about me. But this is really truly one of the low points of my life. I've been holding it together and I just can't do it right now.I'm just a mess.


GravatarChinese foreign currency holdings ~$1 Trillion USD.


Gravatarmena, perhaps your solace isn't within the powers here tonight but not for the will of it.


Gravataroops I meant not for the lack of will of it.

time for dreamland for me.


GravatarI'm just a mess.

Want to talk about it? Blurt out some impossibly personal details that will bring it all into focus for us?

Honestly, I'm working very hard to be funny and cheerful here. I'm not terribly good at it since I'm just on the upswing from the bottom of my personal cycle.

But seriously. If you'd like to talk about what's bothering you, I'm willing to hang out and listen.

GravatarI am always getting left down thread!


GravatarNo, no. Not at all. Many very nice people stay downstairs.


Gravatarmena, just realize that you are allowed and have every reason to feel the weight right now.


GravatarNancy, darling. Are you up for some email?


GravatarHoly crap! Has anyone read the wikipedia page on bi-polar disorder?


Gravatardammit mena, I can never stick around long, gotta pick up the kids from the movies. Take care and know that you have a lot of people who love you, both here and elsewhere....including all of the students you've touched.


GravatarAnd including people who just read what you write. Like me.


GravatarI am asleep yet strangely awake...
I tried to comment on your homepage RM but I don't have a password, drat.

g'night and sleep with the blanket tight.


GravatarI had thought only those on the Right spent so much time spewing venom. I was wrong. As for Mailer: as the very fine critic Richard Poirer has said in his book on Mailer: Mailer is more interesting when he is wrong than most writers when they are right. Go forth and condemn the article for what it sayhs and not the man because yhou are snarkyh smarties. Siegel is right on when he claims that Mailer's Executioner's Song is a great American classic. But you have not read it, right?


Gravatar"Brilliant, mesmerizing, a dazzling achievement that successfully challenges the conventions of fiction. You don't read Tours of the Black Clock so much as surrender to the dizzying stream that rushes past conventional boundaries, straight into the wounded lives of its characters."
