An account of the professionalism and compassion our forces have displayed in the War on Terror would astound even the most enlightened statesmen of any previous era.

It most certainly does not, you pusillanimous scoundrel. I managed to stand single handed against the Nazi menace without recourse to the sort barbarity to which you were driven by the equivalent of one aerial bombardment. That, after all, is what one does if one is not a snivelling coward.

Nah, it’s Friday evening – I’m staying right here in the boat with my gin.

FWP. And such as.

I’m starting to think you all brought some crack back with ya from Vegas, ’cause y’all are on a posting binge.

I know, I know: bitch and moan, bitch and moan, too little thread, too much thread, blartfartblartyfart.

More on topic: I still can’t understand why people are so willing for us to become the very thing we’re trying to destroy. All that guarantees is our own destruction.

Does. Not. Compute.

I can only suppose that his idea of “enlightened statesmen” is “Heydrich and Himmler”.

If you are Jim Treacher’s backup, you have made some wrong turns in life.

From the new hit musical “Central Asia”: Why can’t a democracy be more like a dictatorship?

I blame it on the heat of the moment …

I blame my screwing up of the blockquote tag on Teh Stoopid.

I still can’t understand why people are so willing for us to become the very thing we’re trying to destroy.

I think that in their troglo-tribal worldview, they can’t become the thing we’re trying to destroy, which is Not Us and we can’t be Not Us.

Just like with fundyism – it’s not works or even faith, it’s who you are.

Doctor Zero is awesome. Here he describes the shapes of things before his eyes.

Claudia Rosett wonders why WikiLeaks doesn’t get busy prying comparable information from the Taliban, Iran, or similar creatures lurking in the shadows of the Mos Eisley Cantina.

You can only hope your family, business, and community won’t be among those who suffer when your political masters rewrite the rules to benefit their patrons.

That’s not the future you schmuck, you’re looking in the rear view mirror.

Also too: “Just You Wait, Julian Assange”

Look, is it always me who has to issue the fatwas around here?

I wish I were more confident our Commander-in-Chief would concentrate on the danger to our troops and allies in the combat zone, who may soon be on the receiving end of behavior the New York Times has little interest in documenting… instead of fretting about political fallout they’ll be happy to dispose of for him.

Swank Aphasia has taken down Doc Zero.

Doctor Zero: like Doctor Atomic but with EVEN MORE Bhagavad Gita.

Allahdamnit SMcG, didn’t you see my fatwa against fatwas?

Allahdamnit SMcG, didn’t you see my fatwa against fatwas?

I see your fatwa and raise you tw– NO, THREE FATWAS.

This creates the paradox of an enlightened Western community that spends a lot of time denouncing itself, instead of bearing witness to the savagery of its medieval opponents. You won’t see activist hackers feeding evidence of Iranian complicity in war crimes against U.S. soldiers to the New York Times. Mountains of skeletons remained securely locked behind Palestinian, Syrian, and Iraqi doors, while the Western media faints at the sight of bloodstains on the uniforms of its soldiers.

Man, it’s like we need some independent group to monitor the human rights abuses of nation states, or like some group to document the mistreatment of political prisoners! And then issue periodic reports on the state of these abuses! Wouldn’t that be a novel idea? But, alas, we can only rely on the good will of our military and clandestine organizations. Okie dokie!

Fat wha?

Different Doc Atomic?

Yes.

Maybe next time I”ll check the related vids first, & save a post.

Dat’s der bunny. I was going to link a different part, but most of the clips seem to have vanished.

Why can’t a democracy be more like a dictatorship?

Very nice. Stellar, in fact.

they can’t become the thing we’re trying to destroy, which is Not Us and we can’t be Not Us.

Just like with fundyism – it’s not works or even faith, it’s who you are.

Thanks for the reminder. Grace Not Works is the bane; I’ve always thought so, and now it’s fucking spreading.

Mountains of skeletons remained securely locked behind Palestinian, Syrian, and Iraqi doors, while the Western media faints at the sight of bloodstains on the uniforms of its soldiers.

Yet somehow, despite their modest level of domestic heavy industry, all of these barbaric regimes always seem to have an abundance of premium weaponry with which to keep murdering all those helpless peons … & said peons never seem to be able to get any heat with which to fight back.

One is left to wonder what kind of human detritus would sell these brutal juntas all their killing-toys for year after shameful year while leaving their victims perpetually twisting in the wind, all for money.

IT IS A MYSTERY!

“The conduct of American soldiers in the War on Terror has been nothing short of magnificent.”

“Magnificent”? Really? Don’t you think that’s a *tad* hyperbolic?

Grace Not Works is the bane; I’ve always thought so, and now it’s fucking spreading.

Being special is easy; being good is difficult.

Semi-topical pimpin’.

Oh hell, I’m gettin out of bed and gettin a drink. This is ridiculous. A grown person doesn’t go to bed at 9:30 on a Friday night.

So, ah, when they do bad shit that is BAD. When we do it it’s GOOD. Also we’ve been doing it alla the fucking time anyway so stop your sniveling. And if we do get caught Doing the Dirty, well, tough, they started it!
I think that these guys are all actually Sadly Naughts who write crazy shit to provide themselves with easy targets. Well I fucking hope so, it would be too sad if they were for real

Look, if we do fewer bad things than Hitler and Stalin, we’re cool, okay?

He will intervene in the brain because, according to the true object, Jesus Christ, and be separate from God. There really is traitorous in his Illinois district. So goes the bickering as people suffer and die.

It is recognizing that earth’s stay is temporary – brief at best – and power.

It must be exposed and put church ahead of family. In other words, God’s declaration is a blatant attack against the God of the Good Samaritan. Yet liberal media will not note that various conservative sites refuse this column. In fact, it was now a juggernaut – a multinational construction conglomerate and holding faith in that design.

But when Wallis finishes his waffle, he falls left. We are getting to expect this. He has destroyed nations from the New Testament Church. It could happen. There are all around us as well as those stated in the Monday interview. ‘Millions of Texans are tired of Washington, DC trying to bring all religions leading to God. God will remove fears and implant His peace. He will counsel your conversations. Therefore, Palin wakes up captive to this nation.

I pray that this soul is not good anger. But if there is no detour to holiness.

Jesus came to be as a perfectly acceptable and valid health measure. We no longer exist. Bomb them if necessary.

Having drained our nation of its swing dance group, its happy hour, its hiking clubs and so mighty.

Obama gives no indication that he is going to turn upside down the curtain on my ministry. He waited. He schemed. He did his homework in dirty fashion behind the recent spending binge. HCR 50 affirms that Texas claims sovereignty under the surveillance of the most bloody murder mechanism going – Hamas. So it goes on and on and on listing the evils of the Second Coming, EVERY mountain and island were moved out of step. Therefore, when newsfeeds inform moralists that they were carried along by the crazed Wright who espoused the Koran for his citizenship, every thinking American not biased to Dems simply says to the traditional Bible positioning of copies on the part of Canada these sanctuaries are turned back into the Oval Office to walk off with our heritage and the Full Gospel Business Men’s Assembly of God. And nonsense fills the pulpit.

Mountains of skeletons remained securely locked behind Palestinian, Syrian, and Iraqi doors, while the Western media faints at the sight of bloodstains on the uniforms of its soldiers.

Yes, indeed, why didn’t hackers just hack into Palestine, Syria or Iraq’s massive computer networks? Is it because they are nonexistent, because in fact people in those countries don’t even have electricity and running water, much less giant data centers full of servers?

If computer hackers loved their country enough, reality itself wouldn’t stop them, just like Neo in that documentary about computer programming, “The Matrix”. But clearly they like authoritarian medieval regimes better than the US of A. If they didn’t love authority so much, why else would they be giving away government secrets?

JanusSwank scares me.

Which Swank is the spoof, Janus or the Pastor?

We no longer exist. Bomb them if necessary.

Dr. Lovestrange, or how I learned to stop loving & worry the bomb.

when Wallis
finishes his waffle,
he falls left.
We expected this.
when i
forget my lithium
i sip the juice of apocalypse
and type every phrase that I think is thought,
scatter-shot, sadlynaughts—I NEED MY MEDS!

Walllis will finish his waffle
in my head.

Why that does it, give them no quarter, men.
Wolverines!!!!!!

No program can match the Swank. Humans rule!

I’m sure that if I fire a drone rocket into his wedding party, ripping his little nephews and nieces to shreds and splashing them across the reception hall floors he will write a post explaining how he forgives me for my actions and is grateful for my efforts to install a foreign backed kleptocracy in his country. Not only that, but efforts by outraged civilians to expose my crimes should cease as they fail to understand how difficult it is to run a military. If not he might like to explain why he expects Afghanis to do so.

Hey! 7 Beers at the pre-wedding drinks, following three with the wurst dinner (with Mrs. __B) at the Berghoff and I take a look and there have been, what?, eighteen threads n the day and a half I’ve been in Chicago. Fuck you all.

in, too.

When I saw the news covering the bombing of Baghdad as if it were glorious and wonderful I expatriated in my shrieking head.

The worst thing about living in the “Greatest Country in the World” is that it really could be the greatest country in the world if it weren’t for all these human monsters.

Which mountains of skeletons are hidden behind Palestinian doors?

Fuck, I don’t even think they have that many doors. I mean, shit, Israel blew the entire Gaza strip to hell, and apparently there weren’t volcanoes of bones erupting out of the rubble.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Look, is it always me who has to issue the fatwas around here?

As a martini mujaheed on a gin jihad, I have issued a fatwah against the vodka martini.

GET YOUR OWN NAME, APOSTATE DRINK!!!

Is the vodka martini an apostate drink or an infidel drink? How do you tell?

Is the vodka martini an apostate drink or an infidel drink? How do you tell?

Does it really matter? Drink them all, the liver will know its own!

BTW, just re-read the second chapter of The Chessmen of Mars:

The young princess sprang to her feet and seized the unhappy slave by the shoulders, shaking her. “You are becoming unbearable, Uthia,” she cried. “Soon there will be no alternative than to send you to the public slave-market. Then possibly you will find a master to your liking.”

Tears came to the soft eyes of the slave girl. “It is because I love you, my princess,” she said softly. Tara of Helium melted. She took the slave in her arms and kissed her.

How the hell did ERB get away with stuff like that?

That’s a pretty normal day here in Kiwiland JP. O’course we would have some mention of a Heaving Bosom to capture the 14 year-old boy demongraphic

Shorter shorter: No matter what unspeakable atrocities we commit, their atrocities are unspeakablier. God’s the umpire; no instant replays; no calls subject to review.

How the hell did ERB get away with stuff like that?

The same way Sir Arthur Conan Doyle got away with stuff like:

“What on earth does this mean?” I ejaculated after I had twice read over the extraordinary announcement.

What’s the release date of Chessmen of Mars? It’s pretty tame compared to some of REH’s stuff, although that scene you quoted just screams out, “Brundage Bait!“

What’s the release date of Chessmen of Mars?

1922. Next year will be the centenary of the serialization of A Princess of Mars.

No, wait a minute, that’s 2012. I’m up way too late.

1922. Next year will be the centenary of the serialization of A Princess of Mars.

Lordy Loo, I hope the upcoming movie doesn’t suck.

Which mountains of skeletons are hidden behind Palestinian doors?

The Palestinians are necessarily sub-human embodiments of evil incarnate. The alternative, after all, is to feel a pang of guilt about one’s complicity in the Israeli-run but US-funded project of starving the Palestinean population and stealing their stuff in the hope that they will take the hint and cease to exist. Not to mention the discomforting feeling that one should be doing something about their plight.
Cognitive dissonance, this is how it is reduced.

Lordy Loo, I hope the upcoming movie doesn’t suck.

If it does not feature Tawny Kitaen then I am not interested.

Lordy Loo, I hope the upcoming movie doesn’t suck.

It’s not the movie that’s important, it’s the merchandising.

If it does not feature Tawny Kitaen then I am not interested.

I dunno, she’s a little long in the tooth to play the incomparable Dejah Thoris.

It’s not the movie that’s important, it’s the merchandising.

I never knew I wanted a plush Tars Tarkas until now.

Oh, more importantly, as the Cool Coach would say:

DING DONG DIDDLY! Anybody in the NY Metro Area should volunteer for a game of SQUIDBALL!!! FOR SCIENCE!!! Badoodly oodly!

I won’t be able to make it, but I’ve played the game, and it’s excellent. Plus, you’d be doing it FOR SCIENCE!!!!!

The fact is, Elizabeth Warren is a socialist who hates the USA Free Market System. She wants us converted to the USSR style no freedom system where the goverment cotnrols everything for the benefit of there liberal left wing friends.

Don’t forget bringing in Shania law.

Demand original Fake Gary™. Accept no substitutes.

Don’t forget bringing in Shania law.
You make me feel like a mullah.

The fact is, I know not to take someone seriously whenever they refer to “[something they hate]-style” anything. Of course, that was never a threat in the first place where Gare-Bear is concerned.

There are many proofs that there is no God, but today’s special proof is that there is no draft. I so long to hear reports of the heroism of the 1st Mounted Pundits (the “Screaming Scriveners”). Or reports of their disappearance. Whatever. Anything to stop this war.

Has anyone ever issued a fatwa against Gary Ruppert? Hmmm? Just asking questions.

N__B is uncomfortably close.

N__B is uncomfortably close.

To what? Milwaukee?

… the Western media faints at the sight of bloodstains on the uniforms of its soldiers.

An inconvenience they’ve kindly spared the rest of the world for many years now by the simple expedient of NEVER EVER SHOWING COMBAT PHOTOS OR VIDEO OF DEAD OR WOUNDED COALITION TROOPS, NO MATTER WHAT (with a very very few exceptions).

“You’re welcome.”

It’s as if Judith Miller literally never wrote all the stuff that the war lobby and Chalabi told her, and the NYT was filled with tough investigative reporters who questioned and then disproved the administration’s claims.

I would like to live in the world the wingnuts imagine, the one in which Obama is a socialist who doesn’t subscribe to American exceptionalism, and where wingnuts are marginalized and their views scoffed at by the media, rather than this whole “the academic establishment says it’s because of unpaired electrons, but this fat guy in clown makeup says that’s a lie. Both sides have something important to say” crap.
