It sure does make me want to support your candidate when folks tell me that mine sucks!
Fuck you!
trifecta!
The arm band in baseball:
Pulliam’s Passing
The earliest use of a memorial armband occurred following the death of National League President Harry Pulliam on July 29, 1909. Pulliam, who had battled with mental illness and was despondent over the stresses of his job, shot himself on July 25, though he did not pass away until four days later. On August 2, the day of Pulliam’s funeral, all major league games were postponed (a first in the history of the game). In memory of the former league president, each National League club donned black armbands on their left sleeve for the remainder of the season.
1909 was before 1968 I think.
Fuck you.
Hey Hecate. How goes things?
Russert on MSNBC has attention whore fagboy Andrew Sullivan and alcoholic Christopher Hitcxhens.
/insulted beverage to trifecta
But what if the person, say...Atrios, is a fucktard?
McCain insults people with dismissive cruelty and claims he's being funny. Listen too him; he's not self-deprecating at all.
Actually if you already know the person insulting them is a technique of persuasion.
I mock your value system.
All candidates suck.
1909 was before 1968 I think.
Sure, on the Gregorian calendar maybe...
Atrios: an honorable, simple, direct and true thing to say. Thank you.
Yo, Atrios - did someone say "fuck you" already?
Well, I'm saying it again!
You shit-eating motherfuckers ought to all send me money.
It sure does make me want to support your candidate when folks tell me that mine sucks!
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
Ur candidate sucks.
Hallo bats.....
I've been telling those cult-like kids for months now, insults are bad.
which brings me to back to cindy mcpain's offer of free beer for life to those who vote for johnny
Alright...who wants to buy me a drank?
Not only is it an awesome way to persuade people; it also makes their opinions more fixed! Yup.
Silly Atrios, trolls already know all about how well insults persuade the deluded masses.
From below:
Would that sound like "DAVE TRADEMARK COPYRIGHT!" or "DAVE TMC!"?
Actually, Spocko and I already know each other, believe it or not - he wouldn't have to say anything!
And I'd be discreet enough not to mention "Spocko" in public (except when he finally gets to meet my lovely wife, who is quite intriged by the name)...
Insults? Like when "it" who shall not be mentioned calls me "Yicki" or another "it" who shall not be mentioned calls NTodd "Prickstein"?
bye for now fablous moonbats 
Echidne,
You got a great shout-out from Twisty!

Repost:
Is Greg Sargent no longer doing the Horse's Mouth blog at TPM? That blog has been silent since early March.
you mean like when randi rhodes called hillary a "fucking whore?"
Take the idea that what I write proves that Ann Coulter was right about dfhs.
Reading that made me immediately go out to buy an Ann Coulter mask and to apply for a job at Townhall.

Some people cannot be reached by reason.
At which point insults and mockery won't reach them, but it will entertain the onlookers.
And everybody likes the guy that made you laugh.
Echidne,
You got a great shout-out from Twisty!
I know. I am honored.

NTodd is a prickstein. Come on, he's got us there.

I thought that they were pissed because they had to pose for like twenty minutes.
Bob And Doug (22x26') will air in January 2009 on Canada's Global TV, following the lives and adventures of two zany brothers living in the Canadian town of Maple Lake.
The cartoon's stars, Bob and Doug McKenzie, made their debut in 1980 on sketch comedy show SCTV, which ran on Canada's CBC and NBC in the US. The duo have since appeared on several television commercials in Canada and the US, and made their action figure debut in 2000.
Moranis and Thomas exec produce the series as well as providing the starring voices of the show, with Thomas heading the writing team.
"The Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy are famous and successful because of the clever writing. We have a team of 12 writers working on Bob And Doug and I think this writing is as good as anything on TV," said Thomas.

William Sloane Coffin:
Children are innocent and their innocence is beautiful, but adults should not be innocents. They should know that in the stream of human life it is not innocence but holiness that is our only option.
Nobody can doubt that the world would be a safer and saner place if somehow we Americans got over our self-righteousness in our foreign relations.
One more final thing, it is our pride-swollen faces that have closed up our eyes here at home to an almost unimaginable neglect of the poor, the bloat of the military, the size of the deficit, the sorrow of the aged and infirm among us. There are lots of implications to this and I find this tough text, "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword," is a wonderfully honest statement about the need for the sword of truth, Christ's sword of truth, that heals the wounds it inflicts.

I used to love Get Smart when I was 11 or 12. I watched it once as an adult & it didn't seem funny anymore.
Sob. I am old.
black hollyhock seeds in return?

Black hollyhocks?
How do I get me some of them?
You didn't argue that very well.

William Sloane Coffin -- good man but a Presbyterian (would have been better as an Episcopalian)
Fat chance. Presbyterians seldom convert to papistry.
McCain's about an, oh, four or five on the smart scale. I don't think things needs to be explained to him seven times, like Chimpy, but probably three or four times.
aangus is still my hero; you are a false idol.
Shared Humanity
Don't make me break out the < smite > tags.
Colombia fired Mark Penn. They didn't like him saying that working for them was an "error in judgment." Penn is a clown.
McCain was 7 places from rock bottom in his class at the Naval Academy. None too smart. And, after 7 years of Chimpy, we need smart.
I have a deep thought:
Darling, if you want me to be, closer to you, get closer to me.
Talk me out of cheating on the no-smoking thang, okay?
.
res ipsa --
Penn is not my favorite person in the world -- just sayin'
JP - I promise you, if you wait five minutes the urge will pass. Deep breaths. It's worth it.
Talk me out of cheating on the no-smoking thang, okay?
Winners never cheat and cheaters never win!
McCain practices the politics of honor: He thinks that whatever his instincts tell him is honorable must be so and that those who think otherwise are dishonorable. This makes him difficult to deal with but does no other harm, as long as it is kept separate from governing.
George Fucking Will
...was it you I remember talking about some apprenticeship program in the SF area that was having a hard time finding people?
Could be. The Plumbers and Steamfitters Union would be the place to start. There were some stories in the local papers a year or two ago about trying to find people to work at the local refineries. Can't search for the exact articles at the moment, but that was the gist of it...
Tobacco will kill you -- your choice
The title of this post could have been "The Glenn Quagmire Theory On Scoring Naked Sluts."

Penn is a dickhead and should have been fired months ago. And I'm a Hillary supporter.
McCain was 7 places from rock bottom in his class at the Naval Academy. None too smart.
I'm not arguing that McCain is smart. He may very well be dumb. But finishing at the Naval Academy, even near the bottom, means he's not *too* stupid. I'd really guess lazy.

Let's face it, McCain was the Navy's Gilligan, honorable or otherwise. Dude was constantly getting mixed up in some sort of mishap.

ANd yet -- the clown is still working for Hillary.
Even if Columbia was smart enough to fire his ass.
Insulting people is an easy way to control people, manipulate them, or weaken them. Control is a good substitute for persuasion.
But finishing at the Naval Academy, even near the bottom, means he's not *too* stupid.
Unless someone pulled a few strings to get him through. But that couldn't happen.
My father's favorite episode of "Get Smart" was the one where everyone was after a certain statuette that looked like a bird.
You've got it - the "Tequila Mockingbird"!
He finished seventh from the bottom with two famous admirals with his name.
He could have passed only for that reason. Who wants to flunk the admiral's kid?

In looking for information about Greg Sargent of Horse's Mouth (at TPM), I found a post about him, Krugman, and Clive Crook all pointing out that whatever was being called "racially insensitive" or "racist" about things said by Hillary and Bill were simply not either.
I hadn't read this piece by Crook when it came out. Still relevant.
All three blame the MCM.
Interesting to look at the mid-February comments at The Atlantic.
QL,
Doing any work today? Or sitting on your ass like you and I have been doing our entire lives?
Tobacco will kill you -- your choice
And if tobacco doesn't, something else will. That's really not much of an argument.
The whole not being able to breathe while you're still alive worked better on me. 12 days short of one year.
Your Admiral grandpa went to Annapolis, your Admiral pa went to Annapolis and you go to Annapolis and graduate at the bottom of your class. The definition of moron.
Am I the only one who thinks the McCain ad that Digby posted the other day is the strangest, stupidest thing in the whole world? Jebuz, war as a defining experience as shot through a blurry lens with odd reflections that keep shifting. Makes me want to vote for McCain almost as much as if someone insults my candidate!
Okay...a headline I thought I'd never have to see:

He was reporting what Calvin Butts said.
Oddly, crazy fundies get away with it all the time.

That's unjust. Gilligan was pure-hearted, just not intelligent.

OK JP, I quit smoking (Dunhills) after 7 years of the things. Got a bad case of bronchitis at Easter and just decided that I had to quit. It is nice not to wheeze every morning. I guess guilt from taking a week off from work and not having my vacation time docked has also been a factor.
I just couldn't go back to work and smoke and feel my ethics were in the right place. Our CFO was so pleased to hear it (he used to smoke 5 packs a day) that he took all of the corporate office out to lunch to celebrate.
"Any ideas?"
get a rosemary bush.

No, it's a simple statement of spatial physics, you twit.
But finishing at the Naval Academy, even near the bottom, means he's not *too* stupid. I'd really guess lazy.
Don't forget there was a war on, so I'm sure they wanted everyone they could get. And oh yeah, he was a legacy student so he probably got a free pass. Just like Dubya got from Harvard.
Everything from McCain's adult life show's he's as thick as a brick and dumb as an ox.
Why not guerilla seed ur neighborhood with them?
That is a great idea!
How much light is it getting?
I have a northern exposure. It is not getting direct sunlight, but it's getting indirect light for about 5 hours/day.
Are you over-watering it?
When I got it on Sunday it was wet, so I let it alone. On Wednesday I gave it 2 cups of water. Today I felt it and it was dry to the bottom. I gave it another cup of water.
he'd be worse than Bush, unbelieveably.
But not as bad as Giuliani. So, once again he escapes the ignominy of being the worst in his class.
You put da lime in the curry coconut.
I planted cedar trees last year and they are all dead. Well, one has a little bit of green on it, but mostly they are dried up and brown.

too much water.
And oh yeah, he was a legacy student so he probably got a free pass.
I have no doubt that helped him get in, but I'd bet he's smart enough to squeak by seventh from the bottom. I don't think he's a super genius, but I don't think he's just out and out stupid either.
And believe it or not, there's worse things in the world than being stupid.
Hillybot are also some of the most hateful people. I had one curse me to filth this morning right here on this blog.

Well, he was smart enough to ditch that fat, deformed cripple and marry himself a bleach-blonde heiress...

Do they get salt spray from the road? That seems to kill them here pretty fast. The only other thing I can think of is that young trees freshly planted really need extra watering for the first few years because their root systems were trimmed into that small ball.
