A Plum Pie For Pericles

Let’s see what Don Surber, proprietor of the #2 most informative blog, has been doing since yesterday afternoon, when last we heard sentences falling from his perch at the Charleston (WV) Daily Mail.

NYT and the concept of time

Headline: “C.I.A. Chief Says Others Decided Fate of Video”
Reality: Tape destroyed before he became CIA chief

If you are going to constantly decry the Bush administration as competent, shouldn’t you be competent enough to understand how time works?

And so we leave our Boswell of the Vandalia, deep in the pleasures of thought.

I don’t generally do this, but come on. WTF?

 
 

He must be toying with us.

 
 

I assure you that only a tiny minority of Americans would ever, much less constantly, decry the Bush administration as competent.

 
 

They must not have editors in Charleston.

 
 

To be fair, Mazzetti and his editors quickly distanced themselves from the ridiculous premise of the story by reminding readers that Hayden became CIA director after the agency destroyed the tapes.

Translation: To be fair, the article does not say what I say it does.

 
 

Look! Sadly No enjoys funny as porn. Haha, stupids and unmoral, no match for my ignoramous.

 
 

Woah, Surber’s bringing out the big guns! The whole “if you write a blog (and you’re not me or my friend) then you live in your mom’s basement!” take that! Hat’s off to the “black people drive like this and white people drive like this” of the internet.

 
 

I decry Don Surber as…uh…

 
 

Is incontinent the word you were looking for, Bubba?

 
 

We do have editors here in Charleston and they are idiots as well. Here’s a few tell-tale signs concerning Surber:

-He started using just a headline and teaser so that bloggers would have to click on each post in order to copy them before he realizes what he’d written was completely illogical and easily disproved and he needs to delete it..

-He regularly posts on things British because of the hits generated by readers mistaking his paper for the London Daily Mail

This exchange is an excellent of example of his lack of logic and quality. Read the comments to the end.

-Surber is from Cleveland and we really wish he’d go back. I don’t think we needed to import this kind of proud ignorance.

-His Achilles Heel is that he gets offended and haughty when bloggers point out that he has a face that should require a lower profile.

 
 

This

is the link I wanted in “This exchange…”

 
 

Works in preview but not in comments! WTF?

 
 

NYT and the concept of time

He does come up with some good band names, tho.

 
 

Is Surber lonely, socially isolated and depressed?

If higher math claims he is teh #2 informative blog and using teh internets extensively to seek information causes depression and social isolation…

Shouldn’t we be less concerned for Surber being an idiot, and more concerned with the negative impact he is having on his readers?

I’m not fluent in Stupid. Could someone please translate his gibberish for me?

 
 

Don Surber has smart! We have too stupid to acknowledge his factual mastering! How else could Don prestidigitate the preceding comprehension of the global issue of warming?

“The Sun is warming up the planet. Do not be alarmed. This is a good thing. Warmer temperatures mean more life, more species. Compare the arctic to the Amazon.”

“The Sun is warming up the planet. Do not be alarmed. This is a good thing. Warmer temperatures mean more life, more species. Compare the arctic to the Amazon.”

Don have informative us all!

 
 

Grr…please ignore formatting. I not smart like Don

 
 

His gibberish is the same as all the other gibberish from the right.

1. Liberals Hate America
2. Liberals don’t care about protecting America.
3. Old fuckers look cool in Convertable Mustangs.

Holy Christ, someone take that poor Don “Time Bandit” Surber to an AA meeting before he passes out and chokes to death on his own vomit

A-C

P.S. Thanks for not posting another picture. Or did your computer refuse to accept two pics of Surb and Blewitt’s nipples?

“Don have informative us all!”

Oh noes. not teh global waming!!!

I lost power due to ice around 9am Monday morning (got teh powerz back last evening). Made my way to the 7-11 by dodging downed trees and cables. Walked in, grabbed all the C-batteries for my low tech one way communications station. Put the batteries in, scanned the AM band for some *information* and what does I heered?

“Global warming, how da hell can it be global warming with all this ice??”

Stupid fuckers, I would have answered that question, but I haz no fone.

 
 

“The Sun is warming up the planet. Do not be alarmed. This is a good thing. Warmer temperatures mean more life, more species. Compare the arctic to the Amazon.”

Oh… so does he think that these new species are going to evolve over the next 50-100 years, or that God is going to whip out his magic hat?

 
 

Did he go on to explain how time works? Physicysts (!) everywhere want to know! He could get teh Nobell prize?

 
 

I clicked the link.

That’s 15 seconds of my life that I can never get back.

Thanks.

 
 

Shorter Don Surber: “I offer absolute proof that I have created 4 simultaneous 24 hour days within a single rotation of Earth. Time is 4 Way! 4 Way! New York Times is Educated Stupid!”

 
 

The Sun is warming up the planet. Do not be alarmed. This is a good thing. Warmer temperatures mean more life, more species. Compare the arctic Nebraska cornfields to the Amazon Mojave Desert.

Fixed.

Global warming, how da hell can it be global warming with all this ice??

Shorter denialists: “There is snow in Buffalo this year, therefore the average global temperature will not rise by six degrees over the next century.”

Makes way more sense when you put it like that, doesn’t it?

 
 

I’m really getting sick of these morons with absolutely no scientific education whatsoever acting all smug about global warning, like it’s some kind of an obvious joke. As a measure of how annoying I’m beginning to find these pricks, this morning when my fifteen year old son made that exact same “So much for global warming, look at all this ice!” comment, I bit his head off. “Climate and weather are not the same thing!” I snarled. “Mom, I’m joking!” he replied, looking at me as though I was daft. Thing is, I knew he was joking, it’s just that I can’t take hearing that anymore, even in jest. I did apologize to the poor kid, though.

 
 

Sweet jeebus save us all!

 
 

I’m really getting sick of these morons with absolutely no scientific education whatsoever acting all smug about global warning, like it’s some kind of an obvious joke.

Me too, and it’s a product of the same mindset that drives the evolution denialists. Attacking a strawman version of a theory they don’t understand and possibly can’t – if I hadn’t been walked through the scientific evidence and reasoning, I’d have a hard time accepting evolution too, since my tiny mind doesn’t wrap easily around just how long a billion years really is.

That, and they’re authoritarians ordered to deny whatever theory contradicts the fables that keep their bosses in power over them.

 
 

How tightly the righties cling to the very chains that bind them. I should be used to it by now, but it still amazes me.

 
 

The ‘tighty rightys’. Heh, indeed.

 
 

Don Surber–all the downtown ladies call him treetop lover; all the men just call him sir.

Candy, it’s all about the reflexive denial of anything the Libruls “like.” This creates semi-hilarious actions like ads claiming CO2 is good for us and could be used to get them to declare their opposition to pretty much anything. “The DimmicRATS like kittens? We HATE kittens!!”

I once had a neighbor declare that he didn’t take Global Warming seriously because Al Gore lived in a mansion and flew in a jet. I asked if that meant when a well-known Christian minister got in trouble, I shouldn’t take Christianity seriously.

Is it “Love thy neighbor,” or “Fuck with thy neighbor”? I forget.

 
 

I can’t wait until we have enough life on this planet to make Venus jealous.

 
 

“Fuck with they neighbor” – I think I’ve lived next door to members of that sect in the past.

 
 

Thanks for not posting another picture
What Arky said. The usual non-sexy picture has been giving me nightmares about a gibberish-talking comedo. Like Lukundoo, but more so.
