And You Thought “Neocon” Was A Scary Word
There is more merriment in store today from Right Wing News. You remember, that’s the site that is run by the troglodytic John Hawkins and that surveyed other right-wing troglodytes asking them who was the worst person in American history. You’re probably not surprised that monsters like Jimmy Carter, FDR and the Kenyan-in-Chief were at the top of the list and thought by the surveyed bloggers to be way worse than, say, Timothy McVeigh, John Wilkes Boothe, Jeffrey Dahmer, Aldrich Ames, Rachael Ray and Richard Simmons, some of whom did not even make the list.
The new merriment is that John has reached deep into the loose change shoebox he keeps under his bed (a safe place because no one has ever gone looking for anything near Hawkins’s bed) and announced that Right Wing News is going to sponsor . . .
[audio: http://www.sadlyno.com/wordpress/uploads/2010/05/Drum-Roll-Sound.mp3]. . . Homocon! Better yet, RWN is the very first sponsor of Homocon given that, understandably, Frito-Lay, and Mountain Dew have cut back on their sponsorship budgets.
“Homocon?” you ask. “Que est-ce que c’est, ce Homocon?” Well think Comic-Con and replace the socially-inept, lonely, dweebish middle-aged men who love comics with socially-inept, lonely, dweebish, middle-aged Republican men who love other men. The main difference between Comic-Con and Homocon is that there won’t be anybody running around in Star Wars costumes at Homocon but instead there may be awkward gay men running around in Ann Coulter costumes, since Coulter — an internationally recognized gay rights icon — will be the keynote speaker at this upcoming Shame-boree.
The reaction by Hawkins’s faithful commenters have been mixed. One commenter promptly and predictably showed up with this:
Hmmm.. Must be that you’re actually a Homo yourself.
Gross, Disgusting, The Conservative has gone to hell.
Read the Bible people!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, I always do everything that people tell me in sentences with twelve million exclamation points. I’lll be back after I’ve finished reading the Bible, including the bit about smashing babies against rocks, presumably for having eaten scallops or something.
[audio: http://www.sadlyno.com/wordpress/uploads/2010/08/Jeopardy-Think-Song.mp3]I’m back. I couldn’t make it past Genesis 3:16.
Another commenter was flirting with possible attendance but couldn’t help admitting to a concern or two:
Seems like a good project. As an aside, it might be helpful for marketing if GOProud made the itinerary a little more clear.
Apparently he’s concerned that one of the break-out panels will be a trip to an S&M leather fisting bar in Chelsea.
However, if the commenter was concerned about the meeting’s agenda, rather than its itinerary, he has a good point. And this is where I can help. I thought it might be helpful to the homos of Homocon if I proposed an agenda. So here it is:
| 9:30 | Registration | Only social parasites expect free Danish pastries, so bring your own food. |
| 10:15 | First Panel | “How Gay Conservatives Are The Real Victims.” |
| 10:45 | Second Panel | “Why Are Gay Liberals So Obsessed with the Victimization of Gays?” |
| 11:00 | Coffee Break | Only social parasites expect free coffee. Find a Starbucks. |
| 11:15 | Third Panel | “Why It’s Okay To Bargain Away The Rights of Other Gays for Your Own Tax Cut.” |
| 11:45 | Fourth Panel | Dating Tips for GOP Homos — Wear Antiperspirant, Brush Your Teeth, Change Your Underwear and Don’t Shout ‘Trust, But Verify’ When Coming.” |
| 12:00 noon | Lunch | Find an Olive Garden |
| 2:00 | Fifth Panel | “If You Were In Favor of Gay Marriage, Which Gay Blogger Would You Gay Marry?” |
| 3:00 | Sixth Panel | “Who Is The Hottest: Lindsey Graham, Our Sole Sponsor John Hawkins, or Mitch McConnell?” |
| 6:00 | Brown Bag Dinner and Keynote Address | Ann Coulter: “Why Can’t Homos Throw a Baseball without Looking Like a Girl?” |
For a mere $250, you too could be among the lucky attendees.
The main difference between Comic-Con and Homocon is that there won’t be anybody running around in Star Wars costumes at Homocon but instead there may be awkward gay men running around in Ann Coulter costumes, since Coulter — an internationally recognized gay rights icon — will be the keynote speaker at this upcoming Shame-boree.
Homocon sounds more like something you’d find in fortified milk.
By the way, does Hawkins understand the implications of his sponsorship?
Let’s just say that Jonah won’t be shaking hands with him in the Turkish steam bath on a job well done…
No hook-up potluck? Sheesh, conference goers these days. My lawn, let me get you offen it.
OMFG, the agenda made me snarfle.
As did this: “Rachael Ray.”
I was going to say that Teh Gays have better taste than to eat at the Olive Garden, but then I realized that they were conservatives, so that cancels pretty much any claims of good taste out.
No hook-up potluck?

They’re multitasking at lunch. The Olive Garden is just a stone’s throw from the Appleby’s in Times Square.

I’m sure we could slip a Teabagging in, as well.
The Tea Party rally on the Arizona border with Mexico drew over 500 supporters of Arizona’s immigration policy.
WOW! 500 people?
How many of those were homeless people sent as proxies, Stever?
I’ll give the guy some credit for getting, er, out, er, front on this but “Homocon?”
Homocon?
“Gaycon” has a better tone, IMO. Or “RightGays.”
“Homocon?“

How many is that in human, Steve?
And then you wonder why you can’t eat gluten, and have allergies to mold…
Cheetos don’t have any gluten. Or mold.
They *are* so salty that they abrade your tongue, though.
Hey, tintin, you messed up the link to the survey and linked to homocon instead.
Cheetos don’t have any gluten. Or mold.
That’s not the point. That you even KNOW about Cheetos salad should make any right-thinking stomach revolt.

Flounder!
I personally hate gay people. Besides homosexuality being morally repugnant, the other reason being that I cant ever get any girls to notice me, but I’ve noticed fags checking me out before.
It really pisses me off, I dont understand why girls dont ever check me out but homos do. I recently threatened one homo in the gym who was checking me out. I told him he better look away or I was gonna knock his teeth out.
Its mostly frustration that girls to seem to like me I guess.

FAKE. And more importantly, not fake enough.
“I can’t think of any conservative more fun to headline our inaugural party then the self-professed ‘right-wing Judy Garland’ – Ann Coulter.”
Self-professed? Is that a thing you can just up and profess? What a weird thing to say about her anyway. What Ann Coulter does is not camp. She doesn’t sing and dance in elaborate productions. Her life has not been some dramatic struggle. Is swearing like a sailor and looking like you do a lot of blow all it takes to be a gay icon these days?
I searched on teh google but I couldn’t find any mention of Ann Coulter and Judy Garland in the same page before this event. Were they ready to go with ‘the self-professed ‘right-wing Liza Minnelli’ — Laura Ingraham” if Coulter backed out?
You’re probably not surprised that monsters like Jimmy Carter, FDR and the Kenyan-in-Chief were at the top of the list
It’s almost as if the respondents saw it as an opportunity (or a demand) to show off their ideological staunchness by reciting the catechism of tribal enemies as loudly as everyone else; rather than as a question requiring serious thought about several centuries of history.
OK, the George Orwell comparisons are facile, but how does Hawkins’ exercise differ from a Two-Minute Hate? And how could his respondents be so oblivious to the way that reeling off a string of shibboleths made them look like Soviet commissars responding to a purity test?
Ann Coulter, of “Democrat candidates are faggots” fame?
This will not end well.
Well like all good gay venues, they are ending it with a drag show.
A couple of commenters on that “worst” list wanted to replace Jefferson Davis with Abraham Lincoln. Pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

But he’s only going to be hungry again an hour later.
Are they worried about pedophiles donating blood, too? What about Communists? Or people who like Nickelback?
If homosexuality is a choice, not a biological thing, why would blood from a homosexual be some special taboo?
From the Rainbow Batman’s link:
Greg Quinlan: If you Bible-thump or talk about sex, it turns pro-gays off. If you give them the science, you sound like somebody in authority and they don’t know how to respond to that.
Uh, Monsieur Quinlan, WTF is the science? Hell, Nature is full of hermaphrodites, animals which change sex over the course of a lifetime, others which reproduce through parthenogenesis, and the like. The only way to respond to the “scientific” approach is a whack to the melon with a 2X4.
Maybe its a trap. Either the gays are going to leap from their seats and tear Ann Coulter apart, OR Ann Coulter is going to morph into the Old One she surely is a host to and devour the the gay republicans. Either way is cool with me.
Or people who like Nickelback?
To be fair, I’m a little worried about this one.
But not as much as the risk that Creed fans pose to our blood supply.
My guess is that there are going to be 3 actual attendees and 47 liberal bloggers and daily show reporters undercover to document the whole train wreck
Eh! Steve!
They want to force themselves into the blood supply in a callous and arrogant manner.
Thrusting themselves down the throats of the blood supply, even.
Purity of bodily essences, too.
You know, as flinch-inducing as that picture of Mr. Hawkins is – and it did make me flinch for reals – it’s nowhere near as bad as that one of him and Michael Steele you all usually use.
Going ghey has done him some good, I guess.
“And You Thought “Neocon” Was A Scary Word”
No, actually I thought SadlyNo was dead and I’d have to remove it from my bookmarks. I may yet.
“Gaycon” has a better tone, IMO. Or “RightGays.”
Indeed, “Homocon” doesn’t sound right – I think because “homo” is an insult from these guys. It’d be like if I got together with a bunch of my Irish relatives and called it “MickCon.”

From The Batman’s link:
…and then once everyone starts removing their children from public schools, we’ll need to put ours back. So we don’t look like cowardly conformists in front of the kids, ya know.
Brilliant proposed agenda! It’s probably very close to the one that will actually be followed at “HomoCon.”
Can you believe how they’re billing Ann Coulter? — as “the Judy Garland of the Right”?? Jesus. Their self-hate is so pitiful it makes me queasy. Why don’t they just go full-tilt with the self loathing and make Anita Bryant their diva herione?

PENIS.
Because all those damn fags have AIDS! Every single one of them. Everybody knows that! Sheeesh.
“If homosexuality is a choice, not a biological thing, why would blood from a homosexual be some special taboo?”
What I’ve never understood is who would “choose” homosexuality when it comes with such a huge degree of ostracism, if they could simply “choose” not to be gay anymore? I mean, Christ, the deep conservative parts of the country forgive child molesting more readily than they forgive being gay, and even in the blue states it makes a ton of people uncomfortable. If it were as simple as flipping a switch, don’t you think most people would opt for being “normal”?

Big difference.
No no, you don’t understand… Homos are mentally ill, it’s a sickness, you see… oh wait… that means it’s not a choice again… umm.. ok, the homos choose to be gay because they have this compulsion (wow, that’s a really gay word!) to have hot sweaty butt-sex with girly men… hmmm, but if it’s a compulsion it’s not a choice again… ok, how about.. oh fuck it, BEACAUSE SHUT UP THAT’S WHY!

There’s nothing on Wikipedia, which is the closest thing to that nowadays.
The only source I’ve read is Haaretz, which is just attributing it to “a source”, and say the formal announcement should be in the next couple days. If it IS true I don’t know if I’m ready for the sickening irony of a buncha wingnuts gloating about how “the terrorists didn’t win”.

There is a surprisingly good article in The New Yorker that really clarifies exactly who wants to build what. The most salient fact the article brings out is that, ironically, the closer one gets to Manhattan (where the development will supposedly cause such hard feelings and reopen so many old wounds) the more support there is for the project and the farther way one gets (farther in the city, then farther upstate, then farther away nationally) the more vociferous and vile the opposition seems to become.
I read the same stats. I think it’s very telling, by the way, that the people who make their living ranting to the base about how fag-infested Jew York ain’t Real America are suddenly going on about this being “hallowed ground”.
I read similar. In New York City, the main opposition seems to have settled in Staten Island which is, as most New Yorkers know, a bunch of Republican pricks. Then further and further out, until you get to the Heartland where people are absolutely confused as to the facts of the case, but horribly angry about it none the less.

Culminating in majority support when you actually get to Manhattan.
Amazingly, PJM’s op-ed from this morning criticized Obama for daring to interfere in a “local issue.” As native Manhattan dwellers, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin should know.
Culminating in majority support when you actually get to Manhattan.
In fact, I would wager that as we got closer and closer to the actual proposed building site, support gains more and opposition drops off. Until you get to the actual building site itself, where it’s 97.8-2.1.
I’m for it.
I think.
How can you be so stupid as to not realize that shutting this thing down is 1) Illegal, and 2) will make a pretty good case for recruitment for the jihadists? This is world’s biggest footbullet ever in the history of the world of footbullets. Lame.
When you already see every brown man, woman and child in the world as your enemy as they do, contributing to their radicalization is incidental.
Yeah, I guess. I just don’t understand it–I guess when you’re in some shithole in the fucking scumbag midwest or below the Mason Dixon line, you don’t worry so much about who gets targeted in future attacks.

Particularly when you don’t actually perceive them as having any rights, and thus nothing done against them could possibly be illegal.

If the Haaretz article is true, I doubt the mosque will be “shut down” by any external force – it’ll simply have been the imam displaying a level of sensitivity towards the hillbillies who’ve never shown the same to anyone else. (Watch them claim it as a credit to them anyway, cause their harshly worded web rants shore skeered them dune coons good!)
Yeah, I guess. I just don’t understand it–I guess when you’re in some shithole in the fucking scumbag midwest or below the Mason Dixon line, you don’t worry so much about who gets targeted in future attacks.
Also, if it were me, if I wanted to prevent any further attacks by al-Qaeda in New York City, I’d build mosques around literally everything.
Like a kind of a warding circle “unh unh, fly that plane in here and you’ll destroy this series of mosques as well. God’s going to be pretty pissed about that, isn’t he?” Obviously a flawed plan once examined rationally, since al-Qaeda are a bunch of extremist pricks capable of justifying whatever the fuck they want to do, but on a root-level magical-thinking sort of thing, it should work.
From these mosques, I shall build chainmail armor for the city.

I wonder if that contributes to their inferiority complex. The fact that evil foreigners who want to strike a blow against America target places like Pearl Harbor, New York and Washington, never Topeka, Abilene or Phoenix. If you’re them, that’s gotta bite on some level.
So as far as I can tell, striving for sensitivity is a bunch of faggy PC shit up until the point when it affords an opportunity to hate a minority. Is this some weird variation on blacks being The Real Racists?

If I were the Imam, I wouldn’t build it anyway. It would be like building a replica of the Statue of Liberty in downtown Mogadishu–it wouldn’t last long. One of these assholes would bomb it.

I wager that’s why they’re so insistent on paranoid fantasies of Reconquistas and marauding gangs of Arabic-Mexican decapitation cabals, because that’s the first time any possible threat might actually come in through Phoenix or Albuquerque or so on.
Of course, it’s still paranoid fantasy, but if we take that away from them, they might be forced back into the reality that they’re stuck living in Phoenix.

Makes sense, but I think you’re putting way too much effort into analyzing these crybaby bitches. This is nothing but a political ploy by the likes of SuperSarah and N00t, and a whole bunch of dumb motherfuckers drank the Kewlaid. It’s the same mentality that makes a kid insist that no one else play with a toy he/she isn’t playing with. It’s about establishing dominance. Notice how wingnut dumbfucks like to call themselves alpha males? (Compensating much?)
There’s no logical, legal, ethical or moral justification for being opposed to this center. Hell there’s no justification for giving a fuck if they build it or not. Twunts to the last, these haters.

No shit–howcome they only want to attack the solid blue population centers when the toofless trailer park hordes are the “real” Americans? I think you’re on to something there. I’m gonna keep that in my pocket for the next argument with one of these brain damaged howlers.
Howcome the Al Qaeda freedom hating terrorists deliberately target the most liberal parts of the country? The squirming will be epic!
NEVER!
Bismillah-ba-doodle, loony libs! We’re gonna move on to the Real Great Satan eventually, but we haven’t perfected our anti-Rascal missiles yet.

It’s similar to the sudden concern over the plight of womenfolk in the Islamic world. Actually, TPM addressed this nicely recently http://thepoorman.net/ .
Yeah, those wily terrorists, going after a city where no one’s armed.

Right. “Side with us because we’re liberating the fags and bitches from Islamic oppression.” And never mind that honor killings and anti-gay killings have gone very much up, not down, in Iraq since the U.S. invasion.

I can understand some of the 9/11 families being upset by it — they have every right not to be rational about it. Newtie and Super Sarah, on the other hand, are transparently manipulating the 27 percenters’ emotions just to stir shit up (and drive another political wedge in). Those people don’t see they’re being manipulated because they’re predisposed to agree with the twunts in the first place.
The rest are band-wagoneers who haven’t bothered to really think it through. They can’t be counted on in any case but they’re not really evil, just stupid.
One of the commenters at the link beat me to it: “We’re giving a shit about women’s rights over there so we don’t have to give a shit about women’s rights over here.”
And never mind that honor killings and anti-gay killings have gone very much up, not down, in Iraq since the U.S. invasion.
Of course they have. That’s because honor is way up. What, you looney libs hate honor now too?
Right. “Side with us because we’re liberating the fags and bitches from Islamic oppression.” And never mind that honor killings and anti-gay killings have gone very much up, not down, in Iraq since the U.S. invasion.
Oh–double standard time again.
Remember, Saudi Arabia is our friends, despite that shit happening there as much as anywhere else. Those motherfuckers need to shut their pukeholes when it comes to defending women from oppression. Talk about being out of your depth.
I can understand some of the 9/11 families being upset by it — they have every right not to be rational about it.
I don’t think I can. Not anymore. It sounds rather cold maybe, but enough time has passed that I expect everyone to be able to draw a distinction between a particular group of Muslims who committed a heinous action and all the other Muslims in the world.
The strange thing is, on a personal level I don’t have any more use for Islam than I do for any other set of fairytales invented to curry favor from invisible monsters who live in the sky. I’m no more keen about seeing Islamic religious centers go up than I am about seeing Catholic or Jewish or Hindu or Moonie or Scientologist or Third Wave Anton Lavey Satanic New Wave Bonanza centers go up. The whole bloody mess can shuffle off to whatever hell they imagine is waiting for infidels, as far as I’m concerned. But I’m offended between people who can’t draw a distinction between deluded, daffy nuisances and hardcore militant slivers of aforementioned groups of deluded, daffy nuisances.
I can understand some of the 9/11 families being upset by it
Being unable to fathom what it would be like to endure losing one or more family members, friends, children in those attacks, I would definitely have to agree with this. However, being manipulated and used for a political prop by the Carrot Top of politics (superSarahFailin) would absolutely infuriate me.

I suspect part of the reason for the heartlanders’ upset is that they have no understanding of how dense New York is. They mostly live in exurbs or a bunch of exurbs pretending to be a city, where a 13-story building is visible for a long distance. A 13-story building on Park Place will not be visible from a block away because of all the other taller buildings, as Olbermann tried to show last night.
A 13-stpry building in lower Manhattan is small.

tsam, that borders on heresy. Nothing we do can affect how they feel about us, because as everybody knows they Hate us for our Freedoms.
For example, guys who have been held in Guantanamo for years and tortured and abused despite being guilty of absolutely nothing, Hate us for our Freedoms.
And guys whose infant children die as collateral damage in a failed assassination attempt? Those fuckers Hate us for our Freedoms even more than the others.
There’s just nothing we can do about that kind of unthinking, unreasoning hatred.
There’s just nothing we can do about that kind of unthinking, unreasoning hatred.

The author is moved to tears by having attended a wedding where a Marine married his Iraqi interpreter. The article’s titled “Only in America,” because apparently, international weddings only happen in America. (I’ll have to tell my parents to retroactively not get married in Switzerland, lest they disprove PJM’s worldview).
But I digress. This is the surreal part;
Damn those government bureaucrats and their obsession with our “security!”
Who, in the name of God, who could have passed such cruel laws? I wonder which constituency of howling nutjobs they might have been trying to please? I wonder what websites these people spend their free time on, too…
Furthermore, they have unique cultural and linguistic skills that we badly need, but to this day the bureaucrats maintain ridiculous requirements (mistakenly imposed in the name of “security”) that often make it impossible for these precious resources to work effectively with us
I’m sure Ledeen wept bitterly & tore up his GOP membership card (& threw away his Decoder Ring) back when all those Arabic-speaking FBI & CIA interpreters were fired right after 9/11 for having Teh Ghey. Unless he thought the “security” of preventing spontaneous informal Homocons among government employees trumped the real security of preventing more dead bodies in American streets … but who could possibly be THAT stupid*?

Holy shit! That much? I was still using wikipedia’ statistics, where forty-something were for it and thirty-something against it. I guess more of them got off the fence, probably prompted by being annoyed at the number of red state carpetbaggers telling them how they should feel.
I’m reading today’s post on your blog, and I see what you mean about that patent.
Let me clarify, because I shortshifted that stat. A plurality of Manhattanites overall support the mosque, but much of the support comes from lower Manhattanites, who make up the 63% I quoted. Those are the folks who would walk past it eveery day.
OMFG I AM GOING TO STRANGLE THIS GIRL.
Sorry. I done kilt the thre-yud.
Or as I call it, Friday.
Anyway, those who oppose the Cordoba House (or Park51, or whatever the hell they’re going to call it) are nothing but clueless fucking bigots.
Clueless in that, last I checked, the Pentagon was also attacked on 9/11 … and yet has a mosque actually inside of the building!! I know, I know … as pointed out upthread, consistency isn’t these clowns strong suit. But, if they were consistent, they’d be losing their shit.
And bigots since, last I checked, none of them complained about any Xtian church being built near the Murrah building in OKC. Because we all know that was the work of a few nutjobs, not an entire religion of 1.5 billion people.
It’s as if they distilled stupid to its purest form, and then started to mainline it …

Just fuck off. Really.

You need to read my blog today. It’s not stupid, it just seems that way.
Look, it’s a sort of controversial decision to build anything Islamic in that particular neighborhood. It starts with being Islamic as controversy, and adds the element of being in proximity to the attacks in NYC.
I get that. I’m OK with people disputing the wisdom of the choice. But here’s the thing: I have no more say over it, and no one else should, than if another FUCKING STARBUCKS opened at that same spot. If the owner thinks it’s a good idea, and it’s neither illegal nor damaging to children, then by all means, roll the dice.
If you have a problem with the concept, fine. Don’t walk part it, don’t patronize it, leave it to stand or fall on its own. That’s what the free market demands anyway.
For my part, I will go out of my way to go in there at least once, just to show my support of the imam and his ideal to bring some peace and understanding to a ravaged neighborhood.

Oh, don’t worry – I have no doubt those who are aware of it have freaked out just as much about that.
Consistency may not be their strongest point, but they’re pretty consistent about the fact that Muslims suck no matter where they are.

That said, let’s get back to the subject – no bilingual edumacation, multiculturalism is bad, and let’s show support for Arizona’s law to challenge brown people we meet in the street to prove they’re legal residents!
Seriously – I’m pleased to see that Right Wing Tool Michael Ledeen (father of Simone “spreadsheet? what’s a spreadsheet?” Ledeen) at least has the humanity to identify with one immigrant brown person, but what amazes me about the tools is even with a brief epiphany they can still compartmentalize so that they can turn around and hate a different set of immigrant brown people. Or pretend to for political reasons.
Personally, I’m waiting for when they start hating the Aboriginal Australians.
but what amazes me about the tools is even with a brief epiphany they can still compartmentalize so that they can turn around and hate a different set of immigrant brown people.
It’s a fucking talent. Sometimes I wish I could do it…life would be so much simpler.
I just finished and I’m still frightened. What now? Maybe I better develop a deep hatred for all those I assume have bigger dicks than me, meaning any non-white. Cuz really, that’s what it all comes down to in the end, isn’t it? (Worldwide?)

God, Robin Carnahan has done a fucking TERRIBLE job of campaigning.
And Blunt’s up about 7%, of course. There’s a discussion of the “intensity gap,” which I think is true, but people seem to be attributing it to the national political climate right now, when I think, in actuality, the intensity gap is mostly because of Carnahan’s lackluster campaigning. I can’t tell you how many events I’ve heard her decline that Blunt’s attended. And we’re not talking crazy-ass teabagger events, but normal stuff that politicians do, including an event specifically about women in politics. McCaskill got her seat by working her fucking ass off, and we helped *almost* delivery Missouri for Obama using the same strategies McCaskill did.
I don’t know what the fuck is going on with them. I almost wonder if somebody’s sick or something has happened to keep her from campaigning like she should be.

When I moved back to the Midwest after living in Manhattan for a couple of years, I had people who had never been to the city correcting me about what NYC is like. “Oh, no, you shouldn’t have walked around *there* at night….that’s so dangerous,” etc. Someone also assured me with a straight face that “the blacks” walk around blaring “jungle music” from huge boomboxes. Seriously. These are the same people who are now experts on urban planning and gravely pious about the sanctity of Ground Zero –while patrons clutching piaculative pence bustle in and out of the sex stores and Starbucks that do so much to consecrate the soil.

I’m at work, don’t have time to read ze thread. Has anybody seen the stoopit new Douthat column about the Irish Catholics and how the Nativists did them a favor by teaching them a lesson? I make ze read of it at ze Salon.com zee morning by ze Mme. Walsh.

Okay, who put up the camera in my neighborhood? That’s my favorite outfit for walking the dog!
That’s going to leave a mark
That’s deep, man.
The hole thing!
Hit it right on the head.
I wanted to make sure it was driven home.
Otherwise it might have bombed.

Off topic music trivia:
Jimmy Page of the Yardbirds was jamming with Keith Moon one day and after a long drum solo Keith said a variation of that phrase which was “That went over like a lead zeppelin” and presto a new band name was born. I know this is true because I read it in the liner notes of a Who album, “The Kids Are All Right” I think..
Hey. I hate to interrupt a good series of puns. (Actually I don’t.) But I hadda to mention that you can see your’s truly in the latest issue of Advanced Photoshop, which is finally out. Yay!

Yeah, I was going to post about that, but I thought someone else might have and I was too lazy to check.
I’m shocked that they’d be worried about “the blacks”. Everyone knows the true hip racist worries about the Nuyoricans blasting their calypso music or whatever at all hours of the day and night. Blacks and their jungle music? So passe. May as well worry about the Hasidics blasting klezmer music on all but the wrong day of rest.

I think the most pertinent question is, did the search logarithm find the article immediately from your mix-up, or did you have to go with “Did you mean ‘Douthat’?”
“Oh, man, I just went to Salon and typed “Douchehat

This here Douthat fellow seems quite bright.
Y’know, I’ve often wondered about things like that hat. If more than one person wearing a “World’s Biggest blah” comes into contact with one another, do they have to fight for dominance?
I imagine two old men at a retirement village, both wearing “World’s Greatest Grandpa” shirts, having to struggle to throat each other like wolves.
Thanks, tsam! That’s really kind of you to say.
This here Douthat fellow seems quite bright.
Pretty sure he’s a Papist though. Gonna have to run him out too.
If that pedantic douche hat is interested, this is the official unofficial definition.
1 : Completely idiotic, without redeeming value, used when douche bag is not derogatory enough (after all, douche bags serve a potentially useful purpose.) 2 : Totally useless or frivolous, as in a miniature hat meant to sit on top of a douche bag.
That guy came out of nowhere and kicked me in the nuts for no reason! What a douche hat.

On the 2 train today there was a hipster wearing an “America is Full” shirt along with plaid shorts and what looked like earth-show sandals. Is “Louchehat” a word?

Should’ve added an ironic pair of argyle Jack Wills socks. Kids today don’t know how to complete the look. 🙁

Shhh. Don’t tell Douthat that in the Nineteenth Century, Catholics were told they that to be real ‘murkins, they had to become Protestant.
I’m an old. I don’t own any ironic socks, hypocritical pants, or fuck-me pumps.

I have a pair of hypothetical topsiders by Band of Outsiders for Sperry on back order, as well as a highly esoteric sweater vest and a deconstructed linen suit that can best be described as non-Euclidean (totally thumbing its nose at Playfair’s Postulate).
I do own a red satin jacket advertising the Holmes & Watson saloon in Troy, NY. I won it by completing 5 beer world tours in 1985, each consisting of 60 different brands of beer. 300 beers might not seem like a lot for a year, but I was a student with limited time, and I actually drank all of them in about 50 evenings.
Shhh. Don’t tell Douthat that in the Nineteenth Century, Catholics were told they that to be real ‘murkins, they had to become Protestant.
And by Nineteenth Century, you mean the middle of the twentieth, right? Back when we just couldn’t trust Johnnie K not to hand over the keys to the kingdom to the Papal State? Going on to… well, now, actually, would be a pretty close bet.
This is what infuriates me the most out of all the self-loathing minority groups embracing the Republican nativists. Roman Catholics who forget that they’re seen as just as much part of the problem as any of us dirty liberal Jews, atheistic Commies and brown folk of all creeds.
I have a t-shirt with a cheesy kitten iron-on transfer. And a Hee-Haw shirt.
Fuck. I really AM a hipster! In my defense, I never wear them. At least in public.
Also, I’m not sure I’d be able to restrain myself from punching someone with an “America is Full” shirt. Just in terms of unused space, America could fit several mid-sized countries worth of people in affordable housing. Shit, China and India fit billions of people in half the space.
Y. I won it by completing 5 beer world tours in 1985, each consisting of 60 different brands of beer.
85 was an awesome year. Debbie Harry and Molly Ringwald were still hot. Jello Biafra was sticking it to Tipper Gore (figuratively). The Psychedelic Furs had just released the highly underrated Mirror Moves. I was the worst third baseman in the history of Little League. Girls were wearing skirts with skinny tweed ties. Good times, good times.

From what I’m led to understand, it’s mostly a liquid sort of thing. On both ends.

Asimov published a joke book my father owned because “I really want to see what that sad son of a bitch thinks is funny.” My father had a sense of proto-hipster irony though it was more Kierkegaardian than Eggersian but so then anyway the best part of this book was that Asimov organized the jokes according to how smart you’d have to be to get them. They included notes he would add about who would/would not appreciate the jokes. There were frequent references to things that “Mensa members only” would get.

It’s one of the rules of the universe, I’m afraid. There’s always someone there just young enough to make you feel old. It does work the other way, but at a certain point it just plateaus as “dead”.

Oh, I know. I was just kidding. Although it fucks with my mind that there are currently people on this campus who were born in 1992.

The other day, after I solved a software problem one of my students was facing, he expressed some surprised admiration that I was able to solve his problem so quickly. With my best fake Josiah T. Cornpone accent, I replied, “Son, I’ve been doing this since before you were born.”
Then, in my own accent, I said, “Holy shit, I actually have been doing this since before you were born.” Getting old isn’t all bad, but sometimes it sneaks up on you. I still feel like it’s the early 1990s. It’s kind of NOT, though.
I propose we squeal about Catholic schools or any Catholic center being built near a playground. (Stolen from John Oliver and Jon Stewart). Essentially the theme is that we hold an entire religion responsible for it’s worst elements. Talk about your slippery slopes.
Well, since the Imam in question is a Sufi, the correct analogy would be like telling the Unitarians they can’t build near a playground because of what the Catholics did.
How long did yours last, if I may ask? (Mine was 11 years, counting one of separation.)
It made it to the new milennium, panting, wheezing and clawing its way across the finish line. It’s hard to pin an exact date on it, since she counts the separation and I count the final decree, but just shy of twenty years.
I still feel like it’s the early 1990s.
Me, I blame the drugs for this feeling.

The eighties almost killed me. Let’s not recall them quite so fondly.

Hmm.
I have a conservative, middle class Southern friend who was apartment-hunting all over DC last summer. Her boyfriend wasn’t in town, but he tried to help by looking up the crime rates in all the city’s neighborhoods (there are maps online that are very specific) and sending that to her. She pretty much ignored them, and instead created her own mental map by… counting the ratio of white to nonwhite in all the areas she was visiting.
Her boyfriend eventually went “OK, WTF?” about the neighborhoods she was crossing off as unsafe even though the maps showed they were perfectly fine, and her reasoning was that it might be safe for them but that as a white blonde girl she’d stand out as a target. It was sort of mind-boggling; apparently, black people who’ve controlled their criminal urges for their entire life simply can’t restrain them in the presence of a white person.

belieffact of reality.I’m still waiting for the knock at the door and the “DAD!” from some stranger.

Not really fondly in my case. I was in a high-pressure engineering program and relieving stress with binge drinking and goading people into high-sticking my face mask.

Wow. This white/blond woman goes out by herself in a multi-cultural neighborhood all the time. Like I’ve said before, It’s a wonder I haven’t been raped.
Ya know what’s funny? One day I was jogging in tonier part of my neighborhood and this one house had dogs loose in the front yard. They went after me like I was made out of ham. It was large black man who scared them away. He ROCKED. Silly me, I should have known it was just some scheme to rape me later. He hasn’t done it to this day, but I think he’s still biding his time.

I bought my first house in a predominantly black neighborhood in Seattle, and when I decided to move there, my North End dwelling friends were appalled that I would move “down there” where I might get my house broken into or sprayed with grafitti.
My neighbors were mostly retired African-American couples who spent most of their time at home sitting on the porch, watching the neighborhood. That and young gay landscape and garden designers who spent every fine hour working in their yards. Our neighbors were so vigilant that during my first month, an elderly gentleman came out of his house and scolded me for allowing my dog to poop on the parking strip.
I carried plastic bags in my pocket after that.
No. I’m made out of marshmallow and adamantium.

This Roman Catholic agrees. It drives me mad to see prominent Catholics cozying up to the fundies running the religious right again and again to no perceivable benefit.
These guys hate us: they don’t even perceive us as Christian, as you might deduce from the way they flood Latin America with missionaries in an effort to bring Papists to Jesus. And the Church gets nothing for it in return. I mean, the original point of teaming up with the fundies was to create a solid pro-life/anti-gay political bloc, but there’s been no progress at all in that department. Meanwhile, the fundies are making a lot of progress trampling concepts like social justice and international peace, which the Church says it holds in such high regard, and the bishops have nothing, not one damn thing to say about it.
Heck, just watching them sit on their asses and twiddle their thumbs during the health care debate should be enough to make anyone vomit who actually holds Catholic values.

Ah, but remember Karl Rove; conservatives don’t need to acknowledge reality because they create reality.
Let them have the reins of power, and that neighborhood will become a complete slum replete with gangs roaming the streets undeterred (since the privatized Blackwater police are all busy guarding the gated communities in the nicer parts of town).

I’ve read those. The PJTVer’s response is “SO WHY DO THEY NEED ANOTHER?”
Now me, I drove from DC to Kentucky for the Fourth of July and I remember passing through more than one small town where all the buildings taller than two stories were definitely churches. Popping out of the ground like daisies, despite the fact that any one of them, alone, could probably have seated the entire population of the town.
Why do the hajjis need another? Probably for the same reason those towns needed more churches than they had people…

The eighties almost killed me. Let’s not recall them quite so fondly.
They gave birth to me, and my two favorite bands (Queen and the Scorpions) thrived during that era. In addition, it was a great era for Star Wars nerds, which also gave us all three (yes, three) Indiana Jones movies, the peak of Star Trek (the TOS movie series), and a lot of other weird but good stuff like Back to the Future. An era that produced these things can’t be all bad, despite Mr. Reagan’s best efforts.
Speaking of movies, that was also an age when Greedo hadn’t yet shot first.

Did you play softball?
Qiana. And leisure suits, altho thankfully in NYC, they never really caught on.
Qiana shirt
The Sixties. That was the decade.
My mother (1952) would agree with you. Fact, in 5,000 years of history most of which she’s studied to some greater or lesser extent, she couldn’t think of a single era she’d have liked to live in more than her own.
Did you play softball?
Not in the 90s, no. I just listened to a lot of Nirvana and wore clothes that didn’t fit. I was more of a dork (WHAT???) than anything, really.
Qiana bathing suit
Yeah… about the eighties. What was with the fashions?
I liked skinny ties and unstructured jackets, tho.
Qiana shirt
Ah ha. Actually, those gained a resurgence when I was in high school because thrift store shopping was starting to be cool. I never had any of those, but I did have my fair share of little boys’ t-shirts and old man pants.

Chris, I am officially as old as your mom. I, too, was born in 1952.

Congratulations.
You’re younger than my dad (1951), if that’ll make you feel better about the old farthood.

A lot of 50s revival shit along with some avant garde stuff and the overall exuberance and hyper-optimistic nature of the Reagan era.
John Hughes happened, man, and they went fucking lamestream
I think I may be the only person in the world (at least in my age group) who never really cared for John Hughes.
I ain’t telling when i was born.
I also laughed hysterically during that radio scene in Say Anything the first time I saw it at 15 or 16, which PISSED my best friend off SO MUCH.

Let me show you my cave drawings.

Woodcarvings.
1957 here. We couldn’t possibly have evolved that quickly from cave drawings to etchings on canvas.
My etchings were on a Big Chief Tablet. We were poor.

Did you know that they stopped making those a few years ago? That made me sad.

HAH! Looxury. My first etchings were tattooed on a cockroach.
I made my own paper out of mouse turds.
One day I was jogging in tonier part of my neighborhood and this one house had dogs loose in the front yard.
If Dante were writing today, he’d need to add a new layer just for the people who leave their dogs off the leash in the front lawn to terrorize passing joggers and cyclists. That shit is scary.
The only time I’ve ever contemplated obtaining a handgun was following a run-in with my neighbour’s Rottweiler, who ran all the way across his 200 ft lawn and out into the middle of the street to work some alpha-male bullshit out with me, all because I had the gall to jog past his turf at roughly 12km/hr.

At least you had paper. We used to have to etch in the air and hope the doost would fall to the ground the right way.

Yeah, but I got hantavirus at least 6 times.
(For some reason, “doost” keeps making me giggle).
Her boyfriend eventually went “OK, WTF?” about the neighborhoods she was crossing off as unsafe even though the maps showed they were perfectly fine, and her reasoning was that it might be safe for them but that as a white blonde girl she’d stand out as a target. It was sort of mind-boggling; apparently, black people who’ve controlled their criminal urges for their entire life simply can’t restrain them in the presence of a white person.
Where are all da white women at?
Yeah, but I got hantavirus at least 6 times.
Only six? Why, I got et tha’ many times from the testing lab alone!

Mind if we dance wif yo dates?

Pork, chocolate, any explosive diarrhea inducing food will do the trick…Certainly makes a nice calling card for irresponsible dog owners.

I hear ya. I was NOT HAPPY. Thought about reporting to Animal Control.

Oh, sweet Jesus, Actor… You just had to remind me, didn’t you? I was working for DuPont in PR when that shit was being flogged. Oh, the misery…

If you make it propulsive diarrhea, you can hook up your bicycle.

Yea, but did you have to wear it????
And to think, it was designed for high fashion uses….
There’s no way that stuff breathed at ALL. Sounds horrible.
You will have to settle for one of these.

Ah, well played. It had to be said.

Racist.

Didn’t have to wear it, but they kept trying to get us to. It had all the breathability of a plastic garbage bag.
We may have to agree to disagree, because TNG and DS9 are just as good if not better than the Wrath of Khan – Search for Spock – Voyage Home Trilogy (which are in fact the only TOS movies that count).

It also never absorbed sweat so you could wear it all night and while you’d be dripping like a pig, your clothes still looked great across a crowded dance floor.
Actor, do you remember what the pleather product DuPont came up with was called? I was younger then but my mother, who worked for DuPont when I was a kid, brought home shoes made out of the stuff. Absolutely ghastly.
It’s only 3:00 here. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

1980 shortered.

Many naughas died for your couch.
Oh, Christ, at one point they even tried making roller skates out of nylon. I’m not making this up, you know… Those things were FABULOUS, until a grain of dust got anywhere near the (ball bearings, I think?) inside the wheels at which point the wheel she no longer turned…
Oh, Christ, at one point they even tried making roller skates out of nylon.
WTF?
Oh, Christ, at one point they even tried making roller skates out of nylon.
Nylon wheels. I had a pair of those. Quiet as a church mouse, but if they got wet, you never skated again.
Corfam. That’s what the pleather was called. Horrid.
Corfam
Gesundheit.
So you didn’t mean Naughahyde?
I mean, I remember when haute kitchen design called for melamine chairs, but what do I know? I didn’t start the fire.
i guess this means that craigslist will be hitting hard after meetings are done for the day like they were in dc with CPAC…(yes its true…look at any major conservative event and then look at craigslist in that area…the closet is hilarious.

There are worse things. They’re easy to clean and not as ugly as vinyl-coated chairs.

I was not impressed by TNG, but I’ll agree on DS9. I liked that they started exploring the gray areas of TOS and TNG (especially TNG)’s utopia, I liked all the characters on the station (especially Garak), I preferred the Dominion to the Borg, and Dukat ties with Khan as best Star Trek villain ever.
Still I prefer the six TOS movies, maybe because they’re more iconic or maybe just because they were my introduction to Star Trek. Agree to disagree, like you said.

ST:Generations will always hold a special place in my heart as the first Trek movie to evoke an emotional reaction that wasn’t “KILL THAT FUCKING KLINGON!” or some such.
“I made my own paper out of mouse turds.

We were so poor, I was limited to using stick figures for my etchings. Stick figures! And I could only use three sticks, cause, you know, I had to share with my sisters.

Kids these days. Try explaining that to them.

You had mouse turds? We had to make do with roach turds.
God I miss the 90’s. Hardcore, techno, drum n bass. Great MDMA. Dancing all night. Old friends getting weirded out about how much I had changed overnight after getting into the scene. Great days…

You had friends? LOOXURY! We had to invent our own friends out of baling wire and mouse turds…
What I would have given for baling wire and mouse turds…….
We had to make do with roach turds.
You mean, “make doo”? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I hate myself.

Did I say “baling wire”? I meant barbed wire that we can to steal ourselves from the prison.
Wow. Just wow. I can certainly understand when someone’s tweets are so poorly written to be incomprehensible, but read this quote spoken by Sarah Palin appearing on Fox News:
is she drunk? brain-damaged? Seriously, she’s worse than Bush.
Takeaway from the story? Apparently there have been worship services going on in Park51 since 2009. No one cared then.
“can to”. Hm. Brian need reboat.
is just that knife it feels like
Where the fuck did the “knife” part come from? What?
Where the fuck did the “knife” part come from? What?
She was going to say “bomb” but she refudiated.
brain-damaged?
Also, YOU STOP MAKING FUN OF TRIG! Too.
It hurts mah branes. I’m pretty sure I’m more coherent when I talk in my sleep.
I’m pretty sure I’m more coherent when I talk in my sleep.
I’ll let you know.
Just as soon as I install the webcam.
Over on another story about Palin’s appearance, a commenter said something about how the “libs” are just afraid because Sarah “speaks truth to power.”
Uh, no. Sarah speaks gibberish.
Seriously, she’s worse than Bush.
I bet you never thought you’d be saying that about anyone five years ago.
And yes she is. And can we stop this fucking bullshit about how “oh we recognize their right to freedom of religion, we just wish they wouldn’t exercise it”? There’s a Republican candidate running in New York right now who promised to use eminent domain to bulldoze the thing if he was elected. No, you don’t recognize their right.
SWEET JEEBUS
however there are a 100 mosques already in New York
And over half a million Muslims, you ignorant slut.
Over on another story about Palin’s appearance, a commenter said something about how the “libs” are just afraid because Sarah “speaks truth to power.”
Truth like “I said no to the bridge to nowhere and I thank God that the commission that just found me guilty found me innocent”? Dumb bloody bitch…
I bet you never thought you’d be saying that about anyone five years ago.
Right? This scares me. Could it actually get worse?
Just as soon as I install the webcam.
What makes you think I won’t notice it like the last 8 you put in?
Sarah “speaks truth to power.”
I heard the English language is about to engage in The Stockholm Syndrome and give up.
What makes you think I won’t notice it like the last 8 you put in?
Misdirection. I’m putting it in your neighbor’s house, but pointing at your window.

Well, yeah, but that’s scary, too, like getting hustled by an incoherent, scabby crackhead.

T&U is so last week. The real action is over at the Smut Clyde hidden web cam feed. It’s not quite porn, not quite reality TV, not quite snuff video, but some really entertaining combination of the 3.
T&U is so last week
HEY.
That hurt my feelings.
HEY.
That hurt my feelings.
If it makes you feel any better, I was really entertained last week.

Yea. That’s why you took the yearly auto renewal option…
So, am I going to get a cut of this, or what? Seems only fair.

Well, I suppose if I can’t do anything about it, I might as well make some money.

By the way, could you loosen that button? Yes, the third one down….
Do butterflies shit? Actually, do butterflies eat?
Moths live on human tears, though they prefer elephant tears.
Also, blood-drinking moths.
Do butterflies shit?
Close enough.
