linky no worky

I wish to file a “Thank Christ the link doesn’t work” complaint. Thank you. And please see to it that it isn’t fixed.

Tintin, the thread below is the doper thread. Time to sober up.

http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/INSERT%20LINK, indeed.

Even in the face of ATTS, I actually wished to read the “reasoning” behind the article.

Link fixed.

Krikorian’s post, to which Dick is responding, is worse.

Re: Litmus Test for Enlistment

I can see the appeal of the ‘Litmus Test’ metaphor in politics, what with its simple binary nature, and the classification as Blue or Red. Still, it is fast becoming my least favourite cliche.
What do we want?
More urine-glucose-strip metaphors in politics!

So…. Anthony is not enlisting because?

Failure of another colour test, specific to the belly.

Certainly little Anthony is waiting for his number to be called to serve. Right? Right? So at least he can test out his theory. Right? On the battlefield, because no white supremacist will really know until he goes out there and finds out how popular his social ideals are out in the killing field with some boys from Detroit, or my hometown, St. Louis.

Even shorter Anthony “I love the” Dick:

Niggers out of my army!

“ensuring unit cohesion”

Don’t be stupid, be a smarty. Come and join the Obamaislamofascistbabykiller Party.

Hey, whatever crimes Tab Hunter might have perpetrated in the 1950s, all was forgiven after his performance in John Waters’s “Polyester.”

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that “trust the shorter” applies here.

Mr Peckerwood is correct.

His rehabilitation was complete when he starred in Divine’s “Lust in the Dust,” a dreadful movie and a true test of Tab’s loyalty to Weirdness.

Mr. A. Dick,

Did you know your parents fucking hate you?

Andy’s little bro?

On the other hand: Maybe this provision would pressure the Democratic Party to stop advocating racial preferences?

Poor Anthony, refused by Stanford Law & forced to attend Podunk State Teachers College Law School, because a welfare queen’s baby w/ a bone in his nose & baggy pants wanted to go to Stanford.

Bring back the fucking draft, already!

As a vet, and even more as someone who graduated high school (and a bit beyond), it took me more than a few read-throughs of Mr. Penis Dick’s cut-and-paste job to figure out what the fuck Dick was trying to say.

Evidently, belonging to StormFront is merely an expression of youthly irrational exuberance, a tempest in a teapot, and no concern.
Clearly the internets provide more rich sources of sentences to mine & glue together on ANY topic, than merely trying to use old-fashion print newspapers & magazines.

I’m sure the drill-sarge will be fascinated with his definition of “expressive groups” and views on “unit cohesion”.

No. I don’t believe it. I cannot believe it. I must follow that link. If I’m not back in twenty minutes, don’t send anyone in after me.

What do we want?
More urine-glucose-strip semen metaphors in politics!

fiqqst

Pffff. Tab Hunter was way cuter.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you leave your first amendment rights at the door when you enlist in the U.S. military?

it took me more than a few read-throughs of Mr. Penis Dick’s cut-and-paste job to figure out what the fuck Dick was trying to say.

Likewise.

Mr. Ant Dick is presumably a wingnut in training, and so far is failing Code 1.01 – Dogwhistling for Dummies.

I can’t follow that blog entry at all. I’m terribly glad.

Shorter Krikorian: Sure, I can understand kicking someone out if they hate n*****s, but what if they start kicking people out for hating b*****s, s*****s, or f*****s? Where will it all end?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you leave your first amendment rights at the door when you enlist in the U.S. military?

You sir, are correct. At least while in uniform & on duty, your mouth stays shut.

One pretty much gives up most rights in order to “serve,” other than the right to die for one’s societal construct at the hands of someone from a different societal construct.

As far as I can tell, ASLS is doing two things here.

1) He is showing the proper deference to his superiors at ASW
2) Demonstrating the appropriate language-mangling skills for future employment at the Hoover Institute.

A. Dick, indeed.

From the OT department… Over at World-O-Crap, Scott links to the following:

Is Fox News “an arm of the Republican Party” as White House Communications Director Anita Dunn says?

Democratic and independent voters beg to differ. A national survey conducted for the League of American Voters by the Global Marketing Research Center during last week shows that 46 percent of those who watch Fox News “just about every day” are Democrats or independents as are 50 percent of those who watch it “several times each week” or more. […]

The League of American Voters turns out to be the usual suspects. So I went looking for the Global Marketing Research Center, but they have no website* and no history prior to this purported survey. Teh Great Gazoogle can find no evidence that they actually exist. This has not stopped the right bloggosphere from repeating the press release from LAV, currently accounting for 1720 Googlehits.

Screengrab this story while it’s still developing! You can see the shit in the process of being made up, which is normally only possible if you stick an endoscope up someone’s bum.

*There is a half-constructed website for a Global Marketing Research Center Ltd., but this is a different GMRC, “providing high quality marketing information about Russia and IT outsourcing services”

Ah, America’s Worst Law Student. Not Shittiest.

*slurp*

KofFie

*The position of America’s Worst Law Student™ has been vacant since Ben Shapiro graduated from law school.

I thought the position had been retired in lieu of Orly Taitz’s lifetime achievement award, but glad to see it resurrected.

I don’t know whether to fight him or fuck him.

(obligatory Raging Bull quote of the day)

Amazing how A. Dick misses the most obvious parallel – gays in the military. According to reptards, being gay is a “choice”, much like being a bigot white supremacist is a choice, and of course their argument has long been that letting Teh Faggortz serve hurts “unit cohesion” because all the straight soldiers think gay is icky. I’m sure the situation is completely different when a Klan member is serving in a unit where half the soldiers are black, however.

Eh. He’s at Stanford. What did you expect?

I thought Cornell was the Baby Wingnut school of choice. So this guy was so dumb, he couldn’t even get into Cornell?

Aw fuck, Tintin! I _liked_ Tab Hunter. You’re being very unkind to Tab.

Scott, that Cornell has Mr. Mustard, Esq., on faculty is nothing short of bizarre. I find great delight in imagining the daily travails Mr. Mustard, Esq. must face living in Ithaca, arguably the most liberal town in America.

I bet he eats a lot of snotchos.

Who’s hungry?

On the other hand: Maybe this provision would pressure the Democratic party to stop advocating racial preferences?

My head. She exploded.

It’s times like these that I’m glad that I never lived up to my “potential” because I’m not sure that I could have coped with the staggering privilege and stupidity of your average white male law student.

Because racial preferences are only good if they entitle ME

Always. Trust. The. Shorter.™

PeeJ, Cornell was also home to Ann Coulter and to the absolute angriest wingnut I was ever acquainted with. It’s weird that the college-vs.-college-town dynamic would be so drastically reversed there.

PeeJ,

While Cornell is arguably in the most liberal town in New York State, if you walk outside of Ithaca, you’ll find a rock-ribbed conservative county that Mean Mr Mustard, Esq would find quite accomodating to his particular brand of hatred.

While the Federal reps are all liberal Democrats (mostly because of Ithaca’s vote…Tompkins was the only county Hillary did not carry in the state), the state senators, who split up Ithaca and its environs three ways thus diluting its votes, are all conservative Republicans.

I thought the position had been retired in lieu of Orly Taitz’s lifetime achievement award, but glad to see it resurrected.

That’s America’s Shittiest Practicing Lawyer. Mr. A. Dick is a Law Student, which is differenter.

I think he should change his last name to Hole, while we’ve got him pinned here. That way he can be Mr. A Hole. And he should be stripped of his first name and only allowed an initial.

Also, someone help me give him a swirly, because that shit-eating grin desperately cries out for some graywater swimmin’ time.

I see also that he has forgotten his bowtie. This is what he wears when he’s not got the white sheet on, because when the chest-beating knuckledraggers are outside their white sheets they need to be able to identify each other.

If wingnuts weren’t hounding anyone who has even passingly praised Communism out of government this might make some… no, not even then. Never mind.

That incredibly stupid post could only be written by someone who never served in the military.

I am still trusting the shorter. You only have so many brain cells.

“For one thing it might be unconstitutional…”

Ah, law school. I remember thinking everything was unconstitutional too.

Don’t be hatin’ on Tab Hunter. He was the nicest showbiz person I ever interviewed.

(OK, he was the only showbiz person I ever interviewed, but he was still very nice. And his autobiography is terrific.)

I’m too afeart to click.

Also the guy who’s not Tab Hunter has a supremely punchable face.

I’ve always believed that Tab Hunter was the poor man’s Rock Hudson.

And I’m a big fan of his nephew, Milf.

I think that this assclown’s ultimate ambition is to be the next Tucker Max (Duke Law, non-practicing).

I’ve always believed that Tab Hunter was the poor man’s Rock Hudson.

I also believe Roseanne Barr is the workingman’s Elizabeth Taylor;
Regina Spektor is the thinking man’s Britney Spears;
Alan Grayson is the Democrat’s Tom Delay (in a good way);
Mallard Fillmore is the wingnut’s Doonesbury;
Walter Trout is the white man’s Jimi Hendrix; and
Sarah Palin is the idiot’s Hillary Clinton.

I’ve been to Ithaca, but just passin thru on my motorpickle. I recall visiting some “spectacular” waterfall that appeared to be turned off (due to drought).

Also, previous output of A. Dick:

But the characterization of Bush’s foreign policy as ideological over practical, idealist over realist, has always been a gross oversimplification based on a false dichotomy. In fact, realism and idealism inevitably blend together in some degree, in every political endeavor. The Bush strategy at its most ambitious was to advance liberalization, human rights, and democracy in the Middle East […]

That Dick has either been smoking something from the previous thread or has consumed mass quantities of Kool-Aid.

Aw, that’s a real insult to Tab Hunter. C’mon! And agreed: Tab totally redeemed himself in his thespian forays with the ab-fab John Waters. How could you compare this crapulous spoogebucket to Tab? Unfair.

Like many others, I shall trust the shorter and refuse to venture any further into this stooge’s diseased ramblings. Maybe he can clerk w/Orly Taitz, since she’s a CA lawyer. The two are clearly made for each other.

Also, previous output ejaculation of A. Dick:

Fixed for asthetic purposes…

“You only have so many brain cells.”

Speak for yourself. I don’t even have that many left.

Eh. He’s at Stanford. What did you expect?

Having been there, I can tell you. There are people who are very good at memorizing and taking tests, and yet are unable to reason. I had a roommate who made Phi Beta Kappa and whose idea of supreme wit was to pretend to throw a volleyball at you. Ant Dick is one of these people. Even back in the day (mid 60s) there were Young Republicans and gung-ho ROTC types on campus, in small numbers.

And in closing, may I say that at least we didn’t give The Shrub a degree (Harvard, Yale), and that Condoleeza is not a grad but only hired help (and on leave at that, pending the disposition of my bequest which states that if she is ever allowed to teach there again I’m giving all my money [sob] to herpes research).

PS: if Tab Hunter and Anthony Dick had a child, its name would be Condoleeza Dick-Hunter.

Maybe he can clerk w/Orly Taitz, since she’s a CA lawyer.
Isn’t she also allegedly a dentist and a real estate agent? Then he could be her hygienist.

SPP – you also have to answer for Yoo. *shudder*

Dick AWLS™

Veiled genital mutilation reference?

Is it just me, or does Orly Taitz look like Carol Channing?

Is it just me, or does Orly Taitz look like Carol Channing?

She looks like John Davidson as a Carol Channing impersonator from “The Streets of San Fransisco.”

From PeeJ’s link, the first paragraph of the article he quotes from:

“The consensus forming in anticipation of Barack Obama’s ascendancy is that, with apologies to Code Pink, pragmatism is the new black. The president-elect himself has encouraged this vogue, both explicitly in his rhetoric and implicitly in his recent cabinet appointments. It remains to be seen whether a substantive departure from doctrinaire liberalism will follow, but in the meantime we suffer from an annoying side effect: Suddenly every third person is walking around pronouncing himself a pragmatist and sneering smugly at “ideology,” as if the distinction were something more than empty rhetoric.”

I missed this whole pragmatism conversion thingy. Can anyone help me out? Which of you are one of the “every third person” Mr. A. Dick refers to? No? No one?

Huh. All I see is a field full of straw men shambling around aimlessly, you know, kinda like…zombies.

That’s a MAN, baby!

“Is it just me, or does Orly Taitz look like Carol Channing?”

Ha! Well, kinda yes and maybe no. But, like Tab Hunter, don’t go being nasty to Ms. Channing. She sure don’t deserve that.

I shudder to admit that my darling spouse has both a dental degree (and was a good dentist for over 20 years) and a law degree (as well as a Ph.D). Unlike the tainted Oily, though, my sweetie’s a smart, smart, great person & more of science nerd than a nasty-@ss lawyer.

I groan whenever anyone brings up tainted Oily’s alleged work experience and background. erk.

The only question I would have about a policy banning extremist groups is who gets to decide which group is extremist?

If the GOoPers ever gain power again they might decide the NAACP is an extremist group (the comment about Dems was exactly that sort of veiled threat, IMHO).

But would this guy seriously argue that KKK members should be allowed in the army with access to guns and what not? Hey, Al Qaeda is an extremist group (the KKK has a history as a terrorist group, btw) — should we allow former Al Qaeda members to just up and join our army?

Alternate shorter:

1) People have the First Amendment right to be white supremacists.

2) People can choose to join the army.

3) There is absolutely no difference whatsoever between a right and a choice.

“I think he should change his last name to Hole…”

I prefer the hyphenated form: A. Dick-Hole

PeeJ: “you also have to answer for Yoo.”

He’s at Cal Berkeley. Which still boggles my mind, if only on the question of competence (not to mention his Constitution-shreddosity).

He’s at Cal Berkeley

mea culpa, mea fucking culpa

WTF was I thinking?

Orly doesn’t look like Carol Channing.

THIS looks like Carol Channing.

Looch: Actually, if you keep reading the article PeeJ linked to, you’ll see that A. Dick has A. Point.

To the extent that it performs any conceptual function at all, pragmatism seems to boil down to the more mundane concepts of flexibility, open-mindedness, and deliberation. A “pragmatist” might be said to be someone who, though inevitably laden with policy prejudices, is willing to put them aside and adapt to new situations as needed.

So then, Obama is a pragmatist compared to Junior Bush.

But if this is all that pragmatism means, everybody would self-describe as a pragmatist. Nobody thinks failed policies should be continued when circumstances demand a change.

Um… were you paying any attention betweeen 2001 and 2008?

Done Wid Dat, wow, really? I just don’t see those fields naturally intersecting. Though, now that I think of it, I do know a guy who cleaned asbestos and other materials from buildings for 20 or so years and just recently got a law degree. I didn’t expect that either. Me, I’m too lazy. I’d rather pursue a snark degree.

Looch: Actually, if you keep reading the article PeeJ linked to, you’ll see that A. Dick has A. Point.

I actually read that as well. I just was at a loss for words to describe the lack of awareness A. Dick demonstrates while re-writing history. That boy’s got a gift, one that will surely result in his joining the rolls of Wingnut Welfare.

On the other hand: Maybe this provision will pressure America’s Worst Law Student™ to stop eating poo.

The Tab Hunter comparison is most appropriate in that, like that little butthole with eyes on the left side, Tab Hunter was also in the closet for most of his life.

I can’t imagine why we wouldn’t want White Supremacists and other members of other groups whose ideology call for the forced overthrow of the federal government to join our armed forces.

This kid’s writing hurts my head. He’s trying far, far too hard. It’s like he pulled a bunch of his SAT vocabulary flash cards out of a hat and strung them together to make things that sorta resemble sentences.

However, I must admit this is a work of brilliance: “The recent debate over foreign policy is one of the most frequent victims of the vacuous cant of the pragmatists.”

“Vacuous cant.” Hee hee.

Humorless dildos enjoy vacuous cant.

Cant is &copy GOP. Quit it.

WP is theft

Even if open bigotry is disruptive within the military ranks, it’s doubtful that this concern would apply so broadly — to former members of borderline discriminatory groups, for example. So the ban is probably too sweeping.

1. “borderline discriminatory” c.f. “group associated with hate-related violence”
2. up to 75 percent of blacks and other ethnic minorities reported experiencing racially offensive behavior.
3. from Krikorian’s Navy Times link – “Participation in such groups already is prohibited for current service members by regulation, but the compromise defense bill, HR 2647, also puts the prohibition into law.”
4. Something about David Rhode and his insights into Teh Islamooslins – read your Glennzilla.
5. PENIS.

Burstan Taint: the intersection of dentistry and law is a tad unusual, and I was also surprised by it. My sweetie practices bio-tech ip law – a very science-y area, actually more in accord w/the Ph.D. But the dental background contributes to the knowledge and expertise for this field of law. Yeah, you have to be motivated (amazing bc in some ways sweetie can be a slacker) to get all those degrees & pursue this area of law.

Very egg-headed, which is amazing to me, bc tainted Oily seems like the biggest kind of doofus going. Oily must be smarter than she looks and behaves, though, bc it’s also not that easy to pass the CA bar. I know some pretty smart folks who got law degrees at good law schools, who simply couldn’t pass the CA bar.

So, Oily is certainly quite the contradiction in terms. My assumption is that someone is paying her big time to be a big time pain in the @ss.

tellybelly: true, dat, but at least Tab gets a pass because he was dealing with his sexuality in the ’50s & ’60s when it was pretty verboten to come of the closet. When society became more accepting of teh gheys in Hollywood, Mr. Hunter did reveal his (unsurprising) true self.

The butthole w/eyes doesn’t get a pass.

Can you pass the bar just by memorization of case law and precedent, or do you have to show reasoning ability too? Does Oily have an eidetic memory?

Speaking of vacuous cant, lookie here:

“Simon & Schuster/Threshold acquired world English-language rights to The Post-American Presidency by Pamela Geller“

Hey Sadlies, wanna help me poke Jake Tapper with a stick?

Tapper has a post up heralding how he concern-trolled Gibbs at a press conference about “how DARE the White House claim that Fox is not a news organization”. And, Tapper doesn’t even WORK for Fox.

So, doop-de-doo, I go into comments and post the following:

How is Fox different from a news organization?

If you truly cannot see the difference between what Fox and news organizations do, Jake, you’re probably in the wrong profession – or at the very least, working for the wrong “news” organization.

Ok, so the comment posts…and then a few minutes later, it mysteriously “disappears”. Meanwhile, all the wingnut “yeah, right ON, Jake!” comments remain intact. So I go back in, and re-post it, preceeded by the following:

Funny, but I posted the following earlier only to see it mysteriously “disappear” a few minutes later – meanwhile all the comments from rightwingers/Fox viewers seem to still be there – lots of them, as WWW noted. Maybe I gave offense by not adopting the naivete that would be required to overlook the obvious disingeniousness of your exchange with Gibbs. So here it is again:

This comment, too, lasted for a couple of minutes.

So, dear Sadlies, if it amuses you to help me troll Jake Tapper, then clip my original comment from above, go here, and paste that comment preceded by a line or two of your own, maybe even something along the lines of how Jake or whoever is manning his site wants to make sure no one gets to read it, so it’s been deleted multiple times. And how pathetic is that?

From “Creed Is Good”:

Creed was formulaic, but that’s only an insult if the formula doesn’t work. One of the surprises involved in returning to Creed with a fresh pair of ears is how rocking, exciting, and, yes, moving, the songs can be. “Higher” might turn out to be the nu-grunge “Don’t Stop Believing”: dismissed by cognoscenti on arrival as bludgeoning and gauche but destined for rehabilitation down the road as a triumphant slab of ersatz inspirationalism.

That’s right. Journey the transcendent. See also “Lights,” “Loving, Touching, Squeezing,” and of course “Anyway You Want It.”

Journey the transcendent.

Indeed. WWJD? (What Would Journey Do?)

Jennifer, he is getting his ass kicked on Twitter about that. He’ll argue with people for a couple of hours about it and then suddenly block them for being “rude.” Though I have to say that I’m surprised that he’s scrubbing comments. Don’t know why.

Not only was that move unconstitutional as Congress was not consulted

They didn’t have to be, Saul. BECAUSE IT WAS BASED ON A SECOND TREATY THAT THE SENATE DID RATIFY!

I really wish you would get over your hatred of a man who spoke the truth and has been borne out correct, time and time again.

Steve Perry speaks for me!

Saul, if you’re going to post one of your bullshit tl;dr comments that I didn’t read because it’s too long and full of bullshit, at least be gender-inclusive in your greetings.

Yay PeeJ!!! Your post is up at Tapper’s – at least temporarily.

Jennifer, someone is sitting on top of it. My comment lasted less than 30 seconds.

“Simon & Schuster/Threshold acquired world English-language rights to The Post-American Presidency by Pamela Geller“

Interesting. Who’s going to be doing the translation, I wonder?

I’m beginning to be convinced that Jake Tapper thinks that shovelling shit for the Republican party will get him sexytime with Megs McCain.

triumphant slab of ersatz inspirationalism

Veiled, penis, etc.

That reviewer dude sure likes “bludgeon” and “slab.”

PeeJ – I’m still seeing it – maybe there’s a glitch with the site where you can’t see your own comments? Maybe that’s how mine “disappeared”? I don’t know; someone else would have to look and see if the ones I presumed “disappeared” are in fact visible to others.

Marion in Savannah: I’ve never had the pleasure of taking any bar exams, much less the one in CA. Disclaimer: I’ve gone to law school but didn’t finish and work in the legal profession (more in a helpful capacity). I’ve never taken a bar exam anywhere, but I know many who have. My understanding is that it does require a lot of memorization, and it would seem that an eidetic memory would help a lot.

That said, I do also think the bar requires more than just the regurgitation of facts and includes so-called “reasoning” and such. There are essay questions (or, at least there used to be; I’m not as familiar w/the exam these days).

So, once again, we are left w/the conundrum of how the Taint passed the CalBar. Weird – eh?

at least be gender-inclusive in your greetings

Then it wouldn’t be the internet entity known as Saul.

So, once again, we are left w/the conundrum of how the Taint passed the CalBar. Weird – eh?

No relation.

I really did not need to be aware of this Weiner fella at Slate. He appears to be a Clever Writer, and no, that’s not a compliment.

Jennifer: No sign of any copies of your comment. My attempt disappeared as soon as I hit reload. I presume it has been automatically filtered.

Well I posted over there, Jennifer, we’ll see how long it stays up.

I really did not need to be aware of this Weiner fella at Slate. He appears to be a Clever Writer

I read that as “Cleveland Steamer”, which I suspect may be more accurate.

Also.

He appears to be a Clever Writer, and no, that’s not a compliment.

He’s like a poor man’s less hip fucking Sasha Frere-Jones. And that’s not a compliment, either.

Jennifer, I’ve posted as well, a copypasta of yours. Let’s see if Jake can tell the difference…

Oh wait, now they have all turned up.. At the TOP of the page.

Lets see how long mine lasts..

“A package of cake has to warn you “may contain traces of nuts”

So why isnt fox news legally required to have a warning on the screen which says “may contain lies”

Because I have a serious allergy.”

I can’t read Sasha Frere-Jones. This Weiner, at least I could get through.

Yeah, I’m seeing everyone else’s posts – just no trace of my own. Maybe Tapper is still nursing a grudge from something nasty I said on his blog a long time ago or something. I don’t recall having done that, but the odds are that I could have. I do that kind of thing a lot.

Let’s see if Jake can tell the difference…

“We’ve substituted Jake’s usual coffee with Taster’s Choice. Let’s see…”

We’ve substituted Jake’s usual coffee with Taster’s Choice. Let’s see…

We’ve substituted Jake’s very own network, ABC, with Fox “News.” Let’s see if he can tell the difference …

What? You mean you can’t understand him when he says something like “the eidetic guitar chords swirled in squares over the transparent hermeneutic drone of the bass guitar doing an imitation of imaginary numbers at a mathematical tequila tasting”? I wonder who he has pictures of doing what to whom to keep his gig at the New Yorker writing about music that no-one who reads the New Yorker is even vaguely interested in listening to.

So, once again, we are left w/the conundrum of how the Taint passed the CalBar.

She made a loud and embarrassing scene. Her examiners gave her a passing grade just to get rid of her. This is the key to al lof her achievements, the secret of her success.

Of course she might have given a few strategic wigjobs (ifyouknowwhatImeanandIthinkyouddo) but I think my first theory is more plausible.

I can’t read Sasha Frere-Jones. This Weiner, at least I could get through.

Yeah, I mean, at least he didn’t talk about how all those cracker-ass indie rock fans just hate Limp Bizkit because it’s musical miscegenation just like his kickass band who used, like, funky beats and shit.

Yes, I am still pissed about that 2 1/2 year old column. So?

I suggest you keep an eye on Eric Giunta, a Juris Doctor Candidate at Florida State University College of Law, and a columnist at our beloved Renew America, most recently having penned the missive “God: The Soul of Conservatism.” I think he is an up and comer in this category.

How is Fox different from a news organization?
Has anyone reminded Tapper of the court battle with aggrieved ex-employees, where “We are not a news organisation” was specifically Fox’s argument?

Smut refers to this case.

Oooo, thanks for the link, actor. I’mma copypaste it over at Tapper’s.

I’m reminded of the time that Jake Tapper wrote me an e-mail correction for a post on my blog in which I’d referred to him as an opinion writer instead of as Senior White House Correspondent. This was for a post on a low-traffic comic book blog, and this taught me the valuable lesson that Jake Tapper was not only an opinion writer, but also a shallow, anxious, easily ego-bruised douchenozzle.

a shallow, anxious, easily ego-bruised douchenozzle

Would it be irresponsible to speculate whether he and Mickey Kaus go on double dates?

Jesus, motherfucker must Google himself every five minutes. I’ll bet he’s doing it right now!

Jake Tapper was not only an opinion writer, but also a shallow, anxious, easily ego-bruised douchenozzle.

Him and Patterico. Ever want to drive a quick spike in traffic, called Patterico “spineless” or some such.

I don’t know which is worse, today’s music, or the abused, co-dependent enablers who write about it. A sick relationship either way.

What’s that ya say? Patterico is spineless?

Also, people should refer to Tapper as a columnist or opinion writer more often. I get the feeling he’s got some entertaining temper tantrums in him.

And “music journalists” have always been useless twits. I don’t believe there’s ever been one who wouldn’t have benefitted from a good face-kicking.

Not so, comic-book blog proprietor.

… the government would still need to show that the targeting of service members’ past expressive/associational activity is justified by a viewpoint-neutral state interest (i.e., ensuring unit cohesion, or some other military purpose)

What possible problem would USAF skinheads produce? After all, it’s not like there are any non-white soldiers, amirite?

Whattayamean, John Wayne movies aren’t valid scholarly sources for US military history? That’s PINKO TALK!

wanna help me poke Jake Tapper with a stick?

Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that this was merely a figure of speech.

Does that mean you’re for or against it?

He may have required a kick or two, but Sadly, No! contributor Mr. Leonard Pierce is undeserving of face-kicking, as is commenter Matt T.

No love for Nic Cohn?

Dude, that review SUCKS. He doesn’t talk about the guy from Rammstein’s wiener at all.

I just mean that sometimes you want to do it, and it would probably be fun for a little while, but ultimately unsatisfying.

As well as this guy.

I’ve come close to walking on F. Z.’s unmarked grave, but, you know …

Can’t not name-check one-time acquaintance Richard Meltzer as a tolerable rock crit & non/post-rock writer.

Dave Marsh? Before he became a journalist (he’s on Al Jazeera’s English service now) he was a pretty fair DJ and music critic.

Elvis Costello is on my list too. Thinks he’s all clever and shit.

Which is not to say I don’t like music that’s about something

(h/t McGravitas)

He should be so lucky to look like Tab Hunter. Tab did perty darn good with his version of “Youbg Love”, kicked butt in “Damn Yankees”, and shined in John Water’s “Polyester.

This other guy just seems like a douche-nozzle.

I was just at that Tapper piece and saw my cut and paste of Jennifer’s comment was still there an hour later. I also saw at least 3 others as well so I don’t think they’re scrubbing all that quickly. It may have something to do with that weird way some newspapers have of sorting their comments (never can figure out what’s going on).

Anyhow, its kind of hilariously sad to see what some of these idiots really think.

kg – I’m wondering if my original comment – which got scrubbed not once but twice – got scrubbed because I was posting under my JennOfArk nym, with another email address, while my comment about the Fox lawsuit was posted under this nym with a different email, so they didn’t know to scrub it. Very curious.

He doesn’t talk about the guy from Rammstein’s wiener at all.

Sometimes “rock the cock” is implied, that’s all.

Hey Sadlies, wanna help me poke Jake Tapper with a stick?

Dropped one there myself. Under this nym. These guys don’t get the Intrawebs that well, do they?

Dude didn’t imply it…he flat-out flashed it on one of their videos.

I still have nightmares.

You should see him on Twitter right now. I’m actually starting to feel sorry for him.

PeeJ – others have stood in for me in the matter of John Yoo whilst I was away sporting with Mrs. Fitzsimmons, but I will still be Fedexing you an unblown goat with frickin’ laser beams on its head. Only then will honor be satisfied.

…whilst I was away sporting with Mrs. Fitzsimmons yer mom…

fiquesed.

You can thank me later. Preferably sans goat.

I’m actually starting to feel sorry for him.

UNPOSSIBLE!!!

Don’t. He is a weasel and a courtesan for the powers that be. He thinks standing up for Fox News allows him to flounce about as though he is sticking it to the man.

Not so much.

(not that I really thought you were feeling sorry for him)

I have a feeling it would look something like a Tintin photoshop of a Titian masterpiece.

Hey, remember that time Fox News ran a GOP press release and pretended that it was independent reporting? Jake probably doesn’t – but it didn’t happen on one of their opinion shows.

Or how about that time when the Bush Administration “froze out” MSNBC? Even Dana Perino remembers that happening, but I’m not sure about Tapper.

“That phrase conjures up the most remarkable picture in my mind’s eye….”

Lemmywinks!

Yes! What is best in life.

Uh, no. Not really. It blurs the line between the pornographic and the obscene. But then, so would any image mixing Jake Tapper, a foot-long rodent, and Uma Thurman in Dangerous Liasons.

Rupert Murdock and Michael Steele are all mixed up in there too. Best I keep it to myself.

Methinks he is like a weasel.
He is backed like a weasel.

LEAVE TITIAN ALONE!!

Uh, no. Not really. It blurs the line between the pornographic and the obscene. But then, so would any image mixing Jake Tapper, a foot-long rodent, and Uma Thurman in Dangerous Liasons.

Just the Uma Thurman part.

Please.

See? There’s a handbag dog at the bottom, but NO WEASELS.

Nice, but Titian is no Shakespeare.

Yeah can’t see how being a former member of Arayan Nations would disrupt unit cohesion when the military is roughly 25% minority and probably an additional 10-20% violently anti-racist white (not just those made uncomfortable but those who would literally punch a guy talking about ZOG).

Somehow I doubt Tony here would argue as strongly for allowing former gang members despite the success the military has had in turning those lives around.

Have you ever seen them together in one room at the same time?

ALLONEGUY

I once had the vanity plate TITIAN hoping people would ask me why. “Caravaggio wouldn’t fit.”

Titian was a boob man.

I’ve already had mine, thank you very much.

Are we done poking Tapper with a schtick? His comment deleting flying monkeys appear to have taken off for the night.

Dragon-King – well, he still has plenty of nutjob commenters who can be poked with a stick.

As for poking Tapper himself – well done, Sadlies!

I guess I got into the game too late. I just played the Helen Thomas card, but I don’t think anyone who talks to Tapper will ever see it.

Are we done poking Tapper with a schtick?

Maybe we should poke somebody’s Mom, instead.

Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels walk into a bar. The accordion player says, “Say, we don’t get many high-ranking officials of the Third Reich in here.”

“You’re such a terrible accordion player, I’m not surprised,” Hitler said, pulling out a Walther and shooting him.

I’m not sure if this vid will work outside of Australia, but if it does – cringe and enjoy.

Why not? Do the packets arrive upside down in the Northern Hemisphere?

The Chaser’s War on Everything (another ABC show) couldn’t be watched online outside of Oz. Aussies can’t watch full episodes of Colbert or Daily Show online.

“Do the packets arrive upside down…”

They swirl counterclockwise as they travel through the innerducks and they crash into the northern ones.

To the chaps who are begging the question: Is the video working or are you getting the “not available in your area” notice?

That’s funny. I am stoned, granted, but that’s funny.

Via Thers, a wingnut attempts to take the fun out of horror movies, just in time for Halloween. Hilarity fails to ensue.

Sample: Meanwhile, the military was in the thick of the action, bravely fighting against the Cloverfield monster and handling an impossible situation the best way they could.

Yawn.

Better: However, that mild annoyance does not to detract from the sweet, sweet joy of watching a guy in a Ronald Reagan mask taking an ax to dirty, drug addled hippies throughout the movie. If a conservative had made this movie, instead of David Arquette, liberals would be calling it a “hate crime.”

There’s the resentment we all know and love!

I am stoned, granted

The thread you are looking for is a couple back.

Alas, only viewable from Australia for this Yank.

That sucks. It’s really cringe worthy and funny. Stealing the underpants of Aussie Jewesses and Eurasian girls to in an effort to show that racial mixing is genetically sound is quite disturbing/funny/arousing/right and, when Safran does it, controversial.

It’ll probably be on Youtube soon. Check it out. John Safran: Race Relations.

Notably absent is Invasion of the Body Snatchers, because a movie in which people are transformed into non-thinking vegetables is a happy fantasy for them.

I would posit that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is another good conservative movie, as it is all about family values in the Heartland.

Someone needs to dub Leatherface’s frustrated chainsaw-wielding dance at the end with someone repeating “The fact is”, and I think we’d have a great idea of what it’s like to be Gary Ruppert’s neighbor.

@Big Bad Bald Bastard

Have you watched it?

that Townhall guy thinks “The Dead Zone” is a CONSERVATIVE horror flick? Oh god hahahahaha. He knows nothing, does he? Everybody I know thinks Shrub = Greg Stillson.

I still get chills at the end of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” when Donald Sutherland does that weird thing the pod people did with their throats to call out the “unpod” people. I saw the original too, and that was great, but, since I saw the remake first, that one had the most impact for me.

From the 10 movies link:

The Exorcist (1973): This in one of the most genuinely disturbing movies that you’ll ever see and it’s not for the faint hearted. But, it does feature self-sacrificing priests who are fighting spiritually against true evil. That’s very rare for Hollywood, where members of the clergy are habitually treated as drunkards, hypocrites, perverts, and villains.

Um….really? “Bells of St.Mary’s” anyone?

Seriously, what movies is he talking about?

Everybody I know thinks Shrub = Greg Stillson.

Exactly.

Only now that I’ve been introduced to Sarah Palin, I think she’s more like Greg Stillson in her animal-killing, mean-minded way than Bush, that drunken douche.

g – I think you’re right. Sarah Palin is way scarier even than Shrub.

And spot on re Bells of St. Mary’s.

I think he’s talking about the movies in his head that the Voices tell him are “conservative”. Hahaha.

Have you watched it?

It wouldn’t play for me. No message about being “outside approved sectors” or anything like that. It just wouldn’t play. Inverted packets or something.

that Townhall guy thinks “The Dead Zone” is a CONSERVATIVE horror flick? Oh god hahahahaha. He knows nothing, does he? Everybody I know thinks Shrub = Greg Stillson.

I used to tell people that The West Wing‘s popularity was due to the fact that it allowed liberals to fantasize that Martin Sheen was really the president, but unfortunely for them Martin Sheen really was the president — it was just that it was the wrong Martin Sheen.

I’m sure that conservatives of ’83 were eager to embrace The Dead Zone‘s message when you consider who was President at the time.

Oh, wait.

That’s funny. I am stoned, granted, but that’s funny.

That’s OK. I was stoned when I wrote it.
