Fun personal fact: I was an Incompetent elitist dyke for Halloween last year.

Is an incompetent elitist one who accidentally promotes the interests of the under-classes?

tee hee!

Predictable.

I hope Obama’s next SC nomination is either Zombie Reagan or Glenn Beck, so we can all start discussing their incompetent, elitist dykism…

Ps. “Incompetent elitist dyke” was a mulligan.

First time round, Kagan was an army-hatin’ hooker. (As if such a hooker could exist)

To be fair I’m bad at holding back water, too.

Was it you or Kagan who ruined New Orleans, vacuumslayer?! We need to know!

What’s the betting the Obama administration started the rumours about Kagan’s sexuality? It brings all the homophobes out of the woodwork, and means that a defeat for her looks like a victory for bigotry, thus forcing liberals to rally behind a fairly right-wing candidate. It’s actually a rather brilliant piece of strategy; I just wish these abilities were used for good and not for evil…

How long before this thread is overrun by Glennbots pushing Dear Leaders’s theory that Kagan is Obama’s Harriet Miers?

I am terrible. I haven’t been paying any attention to anything about her, except that she might be Teh Gay. I feel I’ve been remiss in my duties as someone who is dangerously close to being a Glennbot.

What’s the betting that teh fuching ferrets rip Kagan’s face off in one of the Senate bathrooms during a break in the confirmation hearings? It’s actually a rather brilliant piece of strategy; I just wish teh fuching ferrets were used for good and not for evil…

Is an incompetent elitist dyke one who accidentally promotes the interests of the under-classeswaters?

Fixed for completeness.

What’s the betting the Obama administration started the rumours

Hussein definitely started rumors about Kagan. He also started the rumors about global warming, him being from Kenya and Ricky Martin’s sexuality.

First time round, Kagan was an army-hatin’ hooker. (As if such a hooker could exist)

Hey, if you’re a hooker in Annapolis, you HATE the Army, knowhutImean?

It’s actually a rather brilliant piece of strategy; I just wish these abilities were used for good and not for evil…

Serious question: Why is getting an incompetent elitist dyke as SCOTUS justice “evil”?

And oh by the way, how is growing up in Da Bronx suddenly “elitist”???? My god, for as long as I’ve lived, if you wanted to visit a banana republic on the cheap, you visited the Bronx!

How long before this thread is overrun by Glennbots pushing Dear Leaders’s theory that Kagan is Obama’s Harriet Miers?

I’ve got hard money¹ on the claim that she’s Hillary’s lover.

Glennbots pushing Dear Leaders’s theory that Kagan is Obama’s Harriet Miers?

What. Ever. Dear. Leader. Says. Goes.

Why is getting an incompetent elitist dyke as SCOTUS justice “evil”?

Because she won’t be able to steam the flood* of Scalia?

*b/c she’s a dyke

Well at least she doesn’t wear Miers’ eyeliner.

how is growing up in Da Bronx suddenly “elitist”????

Uh, it’s in New York. DUH.

Uh, it’s in New York. DUH.

Only technically. Boonville isn’t elitist despite being in NY.

It’s “in New York” the way an appendix is in the intestine.

You guys have a Boonville, too?! (It’s even worse than you can imagine).

You think your average Red-Blooded Real 'Murkin knows the difference?

Also, in relation to my OT link above, this (long ass) article scared the POOP outta me.

But it’s been acting up for a while. It should have been removed.

Nope. And on, like, three levels. Well done.

Not done with it yet, but this doesn’t surprise me. I was uncomfortable with his warhawkery during the campaign, but that was a problem with any candidate. It’s only going to get worse as global resources dwindle. Welcome to the 21st century!

Cumquats are the sex fruit. They’re juicy when you eat ’em, the name evokes a delightful imagery AND you can shout out the name in the grocer’s and no one bats an eyelash, so you can have sex in public!

you can shout out the name in the grocer’s and no one bats an eyelash, so you can have sex in public!

Well, that’s (*ahem*) a stretch. I’m pretty sure shouting stuff is just one of the issues associated with the taboo on having sex in public.

The Bronx is an awesome place filled with awesome people. Ok, one small section of it is regularly packed full of assholes but most of them are visiting from Scarsdale and such as.

Welcome to the 21st century!

The century where we spend on the military than all other nations combine but have 4% of the world’s population. Imagine if we spend 1% of military funding on education or, I don’t know, mango experimentation. We’d must close the mango gap!

I’m pretty sure shouting stuff is just one of the issues associated with the taboo on having sex in public.

There was a team in my hockey league way back when named the Comequarts. I never high-sticked anyone else the way I high-sticked them.

Were you jealous?

Hee hee.

I’m sorry. Most of this column is quite spot-on and accurately reflects the facts, except for the right wing boogeyman of military recruiters on the private Harvard campus.

It’s not Kagan’s #, that’s for sure.

ZOMG she didn’t know how to drive!

Ahem

1. I have plenty of respect for Kagan’s intellect and ability,

Really? Is a conservative going to write something intelligent for a change?

and she deserves considerable credit for her tenure as dean of Harvard law school, including for her generous treatment of conservatives, which has earned her considerable goodwill.

This is a regular love-fest up in this piece.

But …

AHA–there it is. She’s a great person, but once she started rubbing elbows with a commie nigger, I pretty much can’t stand her no more.

Isn’t that because she is one? Or we just don’t know what she actually believes in. *GASP* I sound like a Glennbot!

Is that what you kids are calling it these days?

Because she won’t be able to steam the flood* of Scalia?

What’s the problem? Just stick your finger in her.

Okay, so after tooling around a little, I’m going to take my usual “nuanced contrarian” position re: Kagan. I have a bad feeling about it, but I don’ really know enough to make a definite decision one way or the other, so I’m just going to wait and see.

What’s the problem? Just stick your finger in her.

I’m a guy and according to M. Edward Whelan III, J.D., Esq., America’s Shittiest Website™ she doesn’t like it like that.

Yes. Haven’t you ever heard anyone say, “I have an appointment at the orthopaedic institute” in a sexy, suggestive voice?

Yes. In my etchings.

i wouldn’t take that article too seriously, esteev. There is a lot of deliberatively inflammatory crap in there… I’m pretty sure it was written by someone wanting to see china spend a lot of money on military preparations. For instance, the paranoia inducing concept of China being ringed with pro-US actors that will put ABM missile systems in so we can preemptively nuke china is beyond retarded… Anyone with an ounce of geopolitical awareness (as the writer sure has) knows china’s launch would go over the pole, and our systems they are putting in Japan are to cover North Korea.

We’re so out of touch with them.

Sadly, we seem to be the only folks to raise any alarm about them in three years or so.

I chortled embarrassingly.

I think he was saying you’re whiter than white. And not overly skinny.

“Heh. I was told the other day by a visiting professor that I look like a Flemish painting. I wasn’t sure if I should feel flattered or totally creeped out.”

Flemish painting? Noice. Best I ever got was “cybil shepard Ione Skye and the chick from Fanny and Alexander had a baby.”

There is a lot of deliberatively inflammatory crap in there…

While I agree with you about the inflammatory nonsense, Mystic, I find some of the rhetoric in that QDR insane. For example:

“America’s interests and role in the world require armed forces with unmatched capabilities” and calls for “the continued dominance of America’s Armed Forces in large-scale force-on-force warfare.”

Where, exactly, is this “large-scale force-on-force warfare” taking place? The only thing large-scale about our current conflicts is our military presence.

Sure it wasn’t an homonym for phlegmish?

I think he was saying you’re whiter than white. And not overly skinny.

Yes, that’s what I thought, too, and it’s pretty accurate. (Though he also said I was “radiant,” which was funny to me because I hadn’t slept in, like, three days). I just couldn’t figure out if it was one of those naked paintings or not.

Probably a Hocking.

OK, God’s going to get me for that

The military always has unmatchable force as its goal. Its been policy for 60 years. And they are always planning for every conceivable enemy and operation. There are probably invasion plans for canada, lol.

Maybe not good, but not unusual at all. Nothing to worry too much about.

The article seems written by the asia times equivalent of bill kristol. Check out the quote about obama’s “bragging”.

Flems tended not to do nudes.

Yes, I know. I was just kidding. But there are enough that I thought that joke was okaaaaaaaaay…

Yeah, I disagreed with the assertion he was “bragging”. We do have the finest military in the world.

I just find it hard to believe that in a time when our military is spread so thin as it is, we are preparing for yet another war a war.(I keep forgetting, despite the phrase “War on Terror”, Congress hasn’t declared war on anyone.)

Not bad for a girl who never finished college. Between my innate awesomeness and some educated guessing, I do aight.

Not Elena Kagan, apparently.

I looked up her bio since I was inspired to song up above. Not only did we go to the same high school we (just barely) overlapped – she would have been in 12th grade when I was in 7th (it’s a six year jhs + hs). So, I’ve met her and have zero memory of it. But since all the boys in that school were convinced that half the girls were gay…

Also, my business partner used to be neighbors with Sotomayor. So I’m one degree from Scalia twice. I can’t control my thsobbing.

Shorter Right Wing Blogosphere

OMG! Kagan’s a dyke. And not teh good kind that hangs out with her friends in front of webcams while wearing cheerleader outfits, but one of them butch man-hating ones. Proof that she’s way too lie-beral to be on teh Supreme Court!

Oh, and it’s usually the History and Sports that trips me up. I need to study up on history, but Sports I just unapologetically don’t give a fuck about.

Not only did we go to the same high school we (just barely) overlapped

You went to a girl’s school?

Elena Kagan is also not conventionally attractive. Which probably means she should just kill herself.

Whoops. Joke spelling fail. Insert “r” as required.

Tintin, major LOVE <3 <3 <3 for that Babylon 5 reference!!!

oh yeah, FYWP, RUPTA

“Whoops. Joke spelling fail. Insert “r” as required.”

That’s all right. I knew you were throbbing.

I was in the second year after it went co-ed.

I just figured it was, cuz, you know, effeminate enough that you passed.

I couldn’t apply, sadly. Six girls in my elementary school class went over after sixth grade. Would have been many more, but the teacher’s strike saw most of the best students move over to private schools like Chapin and Dwight.

I just figured it was, cuz, you know, effeminate enough that you passed.

So I’m one degree from Scalia twice.

Yet you seem to suffer no ill-effects…interesting…

I need to study up on history, but Sports I just unapologetically don’t give a fuck about.

Sports always kicks my ass. I have lost many, many times because I couldn’t get the sports pie in time. My answer of “Nolan Ryan” to any baseball question is a longstanding family joke.

“I couldn’t get the sports pie in time.”

This sounds like it should be a punchline to a dirty joke.

“*sipping herbal tea quietly, thinking of the myriad ways to go with this*”

Great minds… Or is that dirty ones?

This sounds like it should be a punchline to a dirty joke.

“A”? I’ve got half a dozen cooked up and it’s not even lunchtime yet.

I guess the entire article is fear mongering in the other direction?

That’s how it sounded to me. Take the bit about Obama escalating our two current wars “liberations,” for example; the Bush administration deliberately lowballed the force requirements for both conflicts to hide their true cost from the public and essentially ignored Afghanistan once his Iraqnophobia kicked in, so a more accurate description might be “Obama commits the forces that the conflicts called for in the first place.”

As for the new weapons and plans that are coming out, one needs to remember that this stuff is in the pipeline for a long time before it finally works up to operational use. More importantly, it means money for some Congressional delegation’s district–the “Crimson Bribe” and his blanket holds over the replacement tanker program make a great case in point. So, yeah, we’ve got all kinds of new weapons coming out–because the Bush administration and many members of Congress never met a new weapons system they didn’t want to spend metric assloads of cash on. (Trivial shit like body armor for the troops excepted, of course.) There are some signs of hope on this front; the Defense Secretary was recently talking about budget cuts, so sanity in defense spending may yet prevail. If all the shrieking over the cancellation of the F-22 is any indication, though, the hawks military pork-barrellers in Congress will make it a tough fight–and a tough fight endangers Obama’s domestic agenda.

Full disclosure: my dad is retired Air Force and that probably biases my opinion. Take it for what it’s worth.

My answer of “Nolan Ryan” to any baseball question is a longstanding family joke

I have a sister-in-law who answers “Johnny Rivers” to any music question. I think there is one question in the box where this is the correct answer.

I read the most amazing thing this morning: someone remembers a “Wings” episode.…
…with something other than horror.

Fiqqst for MST3000 completness.

What’s the betting the Obama administration started the rumours about Kagan’s sexuality?

Nah. The same exact rumor was going around about Sotomayor before she was even officially nominated. This is just what the right does with any Democratic woman they take a dislike to: Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, and so on.

It does make me wish, however, that Obama would just go ahead and nominate the biggest, baddest, loudest, angriest bull dyke he can find for the Supreme Court–the Darth Vader of dykedom, if you will. I suspect that the wingnuts would be too busy cowering in a puddle of their own pee to object much.

Flushing to the Upper East Side. About 10 miles as the crow flies…which it don’t.

I live very close to a couple of schools, and I see parents drive their kids four fucking blocks to school. And we have an excellent bus system here! No wonder kids here are fat and afraid of EVERYTHING.

Well, according to Media Matters Ed Whelan also thinks Elena Kagan is out of touch with Americans since she didn’t learn how to drive until she was in her late ’20s.

I was going to “ahem” you, but realized that I just *thought* about posting that, but was too lazy.

Yeah, taking the NYC subways in the 70s to school – starting when I was 11 – was a magical mystery tour. That was before they replaced the incandescents with fluorescents, so the stations were dark.

Full disclosure: I think Wings is a cute show, always did.

Oh and YAY an MST3k reference!

I used to walk the four blocks to school, but after I was attacked fifty times my mom started driving me.

Never having heard of ferret legging, I had to find out, and was amazed to find out:

An attempt to introduce a female version of the sport—ferret busting, in which female contestants introduced ferrets down their blouses—proved unsuccessful.

Which just goes to show that us wimmens aren’t as dumb as guys who shove ferrets down their pants.

Elena Kagan walked to school.

Oh, and BTW:
penis.

Or that ferrets are all gay and prefer what’s in men’s pants to what’s in women’s shirts.

Uh, what about girl ferrets?

Assuming that’s a depiction of Hell, I had no idea Hell was so … hot.

Too smart to go into any clothing they haven’t selected themselves.

Watching The Devil’s Advocate was bad, but not quite hellish.

I guess the entire article is fear mongering in the other direction?

Yeah, that is really what it seemed like to me, a chance to fear monger for chinese nationalists. I’m sure there is a fortune to be made for somebody by getting china to spend as much on its defense as we do.

Or it could just be someone who pays too much attention to the right wing rhetoric in this country and doesn’t distingquish well across our political divide. Incompetence vs. malice. but it seemed very well written for incompetence.

You know who else walked to school.

Ferret gender essentialist!

Excuse me while I pick myself up from rolling around on the floor laughing. Obviously she’s completely in touch with America’s yout’, who on average are getting their driver’s licenses later and later in life. I know quite a few yout’, one of whom has a license due to parents and doesn’t use it (walks everywhere), one of whom is almost out of his 20’s and only now getting a learner’s permit (walks everywhere), and one of whom rides a bike to work but drives a bus for a living, obviously a man after my own heart if I weren’t a) gay and b) gay-married.

I actually didn’t get my license till I was about 25 or something – my dad was too cheap to put me on his auto insurance when I was in my teens, and I lived in NYC after that. I lived 2 years in Seattle without a license, and finally decided to go ahead and get one.

Some Guy: Listen, here’s what I think. I think that we can’t go around… measuring our goodness by what we don’t do. By what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude. I think… we’ve got to measure goodness by what we *embrace*, what we create… and who we include.

Ed Whelan: No. Fuck them, they’re different from ‘us’.

Circling back around to M. Edward Whelan III, search as I may, I cannot locate the photograph and biographical information about Mrs. (she would prefer it to Ms.) M. Edward Whelan III, Jr. and the seven children she gave birth to in order to counteract the scandalous overpopulating of America by brown folk.

I find this omission the height of elitist incompetence on the part of the ‘hard’ right.

After all, the ‘hard’ right managed to find Chief Jester John Roberts his own little family, complete with small, blond and blonde children, just in time for the obligatory photo shoot.

So M. Eddie III, in the name of all that is George Rekers’ rentboy.com username, show us your faux family so we can take your concerns about ‘incompetent, elitist dykes seriously.

Never mind John Roberts, Rick Santorum has a robot wife and a child breeding farm in PA VA. Like all deep closet cases he is firmly convinced that the point of sex is to breed so he’s following that commandment to the letter no matter how much his frowsy pre-teen daughter blubbers about having to change all those diapers.

1–Goering did NOT go to school.

2-Every old person, 5 miles (at least in this recounting of the bitter tale), in 4 feet of snow, blah blah blah…

Uphill both ways, in the wind…

Hmph. You’re probably counting brown people, and people who live in big cities. I’m sure the mean age at which Real Americans (TM) 1 get their license hasn’t changed.

1. Real American (n.):
A) People who got their first car from daddy at age 16.
B) People who play mailbox baseball while hopped on meth.

Well shoot, somebody ‘way up there pre-stole my “finger in the dyke” joke.

I haz a sad.

There was a team in my hockey league way back when named the Comequarts.

There was an intramural basketball team when I was in college (back when the baskets were wicker) that called themselves the Cunning Runts. I would’ve been deeply offended but our team was the Nip City Sighters so I had to climb off my high horse. Which made it impossible to dunk.

HAH!

Back in MY day, we burned virgins in them when we won.

Hmmrhrrrmph to you, Canadien(ne)ne(ne), you clearly don’t know from Southern brown people. In the olden days they put young whelps on the seat of a tractor as soon as they could hold their head up independently.

Oh wait, you said license. Nvr mnd, then.

Back in MY day, we burned virgins in them when we won.

Burning virgins! Hah, you blokes had it easy. In MY day, the losers were sacrificed alive to the sun god!

T & U–

I was told the other day by a visiting professor that I look like a Flemish painting.

It depends. How did he spell “flemish”?

I have often been compared to Bosch paintings.

Bosch?

This one or this one?

It’s hard for me to see where Obama couldn’t have someone as smart as this woman is supposed to be, and more qualified on the bench. Of courese the other side got Thomas on, and he isn’t qualified to be a ball-washer, much less any kind of justice.
