But won’t this embolden the terrorists?

“President of the States of America admitted to war crimes on camera.”

The fact is, show me. Show us this link. Or shut up.

Here it is, Gary

I blame the French.

Should Ruppert Syndrome be classified as a form of reading comprehension difficulty, or attention deficit disorder? The debate continues.

Faktisk, jeg har ikke noget vigtigt at sige.

WordPress er røv og nøgle.

The fact is, torturing people to get information, especially when they torture, behead and attack us with homicide bombs, is not war crime, but standard practice in the new war. You should get over it and stop wringing your hands and wetting your pants. America is strong.

Ah heerds Juan McCain won’t build thet steel wall across the Suthrin’ border likes I wanna see, with mines an guns an all thet kinda stuff! Why don’t he just hand all mah taxes over to the brown peoples and let ’em give mah fambily awful diseases? Pfeh, gotta go, NASCAR is on.

Oh, and isn’t Meagan the one with the awful vomitous recipies, or was that someone else? Maybe she’s just pissed off Cindy “Norco” McCain didn’t plaigarize her down-home feel-good recipes.

Gary Ruppert:
Buy a clue!! Ever heard of the saying: Don’t become a monster in order to defeat a monster?

Last time I visited the McCain’s, all they had was those nasty butterscotch candies.

Aww, Cindy’s cooking is great. She throws in tons of oxys into everything.

I’m thinking this MMc is a far too easy target, though quite deserving of short mocking posts such as this one. I just didn’t realize that she was possibly this deficient intellectually. There’s nothing there, is there?

In a sane world, Obama’s Orange Juice preference would be a non-issue, Cindy’s blog would make for a round of talk-show jokes, and McCain’s conflation of Iran and Al Qaeda would be a scandal that would dog him to the polls.

At this point, American Democracy would be better served by making winner of ‘America’s Next Top Model” the president. I would be shorter, and less of an insult to our intelligence.

Also, Meggie-poo, just stop talking, blogging, and writing. Stop sharing your opinion with people. It doesn’t do anyone any good.

Yeah, you find yourself feeling sorry for Megan, the poor little white girl. Then she goes back to talking about how much better she is than anyone else, and the guilt goes away.

I find it odd that it doesn’t even occur to the economist that Cindy McCain doesn’t have any recipes becasue she’s so freaking rich that she’s probably never cooked a meal in her life.

Megan must get paid by the word and the relative vapidness of her ideas. This one netted her quite a pay day.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Now Megan’s discussing Obama’s gay factor.

And he’s running against a much-decorated fighter pilot renowned for chasing women until his walker started getting in the way.

Megan, dear, you’re supposed to criticize philanderers, not admire their randiness. Conservatives are the real moral relativists.

I think the fact that this wife is the younger, richer model he got after dumping the wife who waited for him while he was in Vietnam is more pertinent.

Megan 04/16:
“I do not know whether being a woman has ultimately helped or hurt my career, and I don’t waste time worrying about it. But I get a little testy when Kerry Howley and I, among many others, see the comment threads on our media appearances degenerate into extended wardrobe critiques, or debates about whether and under what conditions one might ‘hit that’.”

Megan 04/17:
“Forget about my issues with John McCain; I’m not sure the nation can survive four years with such an inept liar in the office of First Lady. What on earth is she going to say the first time Lyudmila Putin says ‘What do you think of my suit?'”

What on earth is she going to say the first time Lyudmila Putin says ‘What do you think of my suit?’

No, she’ll obviously spout the text at the top of my blog these days:

“Take the red ones. I’ve never been disappointed by the red ones.” –Cindy McCain

Gary, the fact is you demand to be spoon-fed proof by others, when have you ever provided any for your inane assertions? Where’s your proof that torture is now magically not a war crime under international law based on treaties we’ve signed? And please, Yoo’s wishful thinking is not proof. The Constitution says treaties, once signed, are “the law of the land,” law the president must either follow or work within the legal, Constitutional framework to have repealed. It may be “standard procedure,” but anything defined as a war crime in signed treaties or US laws is a war crime UNTIL those laws are REPEALED, by fucking definition. Now, either you prove otherwise or shut the fuck up.

Gary, we don’t spoonfeed.

I feel for the McCains. It’s hard coming up with recipes when everything you ingest is measured in milligrams or jiggers.

The fact is, giggle! Tee hee! I’m playing pundit! Giggle!

Is it me, or is this Gary Ruppert stupider than our normal Gary Rupperts?

I’ve been sniffing glue!

…the fact…ah…factor… iz’m… woah…

Shalom gentlemen.

Megan 04/17:
“Forget about my issues with John McCain; I’m not sure the nation can survive four years with such an inept liar in the office of First Lady. What on earth is she going to say the first time Lyudmila Putin says ‘What do you think of my suit?’”

If Lyudmila were to make her way to the White House somehow she might be asked about the tire tracks across her suit because there is a report out that Putin threw her under the bus in favor of a 24 year old gymnast.

I don’t give a fuck about Cindy McCain’s recipes or her pill addiction as political issues. I’ve never been addicted to pills but if it’s anywhere near as difficult to kick painkillers as it is to kick nicotine she has my empathy. I can’t get off the fags to save my life.

They’re all worthless and weak.

I have a delicious egg salad recipe, which I never eat, because I loathe cold egg. Isn’t that fascinating? I have never eaten cold egg. Except one time when someone made me something with chopped liver, and that did have egg in it. Some of my many adoring fans must be wondering how I can eat chopped liver but not egg! Well, I guess it is because I never really had a reason to eat egg salad. It isn’t something that you are expected to eat. It isn’t as though a person of sophistication must eat egg salad.

Do you want to see me eat an egg salad sandwich? I’ll do it! Look at me, I’m eating it! Look at me!

I can’t get off the fags to save my life.

That’s what the GOP says!

/laughter

Dear Ann,
make it while the eggs are still warm and enjoy.
Your friend, t.

I think Gary at 13:49 is the real one, been a while Gary, is the restrainingorder lifted?

Saul,

back to the basement fuckhead, the gimp is waiting.

Only elitists use recipes anyway!

You know, Megan McArdle is one of the few liberals most of the people in this country are able to tolerate. You’d think that you people would respect her opinion a little more and applaud her journalism, but as they say, Sadly, No!

Keep marginalizing yourselves. McCain will win Michigan and Pennsylvania and New York and there’s nothing you can do about it.

An egg salad sandwich isn’t worth eating unless it also contains chopped or sliced green olive (with the pimento). Mmmmm.

Fuck off niggers!

You know, Dick Cheney is one of the most reasonable Republicans around. I don’t know why you don’t support him. Do you want to get shot in the face?

Mazal tov!

Oh, is McCain still in the primaries? Isn’t he unopposed right now?

“My candidate, being the only candidate in his party, is a shoe-in to win his party’s primaries.”

Man, you’re a dingus, saul.

Hey! At least we’re not a Saul!

Lawnguy:

I can’t get off the fags to save my life.

Keep trying, buddy. I smoked for 30 years, just quit a couple years ago. It’s a wonderful change. Even though I’m too fat, with the cycling I do my resting heart rate is 60 bpm. It feels good to feel good.

Check this out…it was the tool I used to finally kick. Whatever you do, don’t give up. A buddy of mine has been struggling with lung cancer for the last several years. I can promise you that is not something you want to go through.

Sorry folks, back to your regularly scheduled snark.

Oh and wordpress was seen wearing a suicide vest.

I wrote the following response to MM’s manly man post:

My god.

We have an economy on the way to meltdown, we’re in a war with no forseeable end, forty million plus people with no health insurance, are in debt to China to the point where our grandchildren will still be paying it off and you’re worried that Obama isn’t manly enough?

What the hell is wrong with you?

And wordpress was seen swimming away from the USS Maine in 1898

Word around here is that wordpress was last seen carjacking American’s Pimpin’est Mayor™ out of his Escalade Brigade… ‘s what happens when you f*ck Scottie Pippen-lookalikes!

Though if Cindy McFilingSeparately stole her recipes from McAddled, that would be reason for her to be committed to an institution.

— Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken cold egg, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken egg salad sandwich, and you haven’t broken any rules.

— You want me to hold the chicken cold egg, huh?

— I want you to hold it between your knees.

I didn’t know being First Lady was a constutional office.

Sure it is. Just ask Hillary.

The best way to quit smoking is the book “The Easy Way to Quit Smoking” by Allen Carr.

It sounds ridiculous that a book could make you quit, but just read it all the way through and you;ll be amazed.

Cooked a meal? I’d be willing to bet that when Cindy McCain wants a Snickers bar, she has a servant whose only job is to unwrap it for her and another to swab stray peanut fragments from betwixt her teeth.

And if I may leap into the great egg salad controversy, I’m especially fond of adding chopped steamed spinach into the mix. (I love spinach. So? Sue me.)

Thanks, OneMan. I appreciate the link and the encouragement and in turn I wish good luck and a lack of shame to anyone reading this who’s addicted to anything. TV included. And now I’ll return to my regular surly dick of the internets persona.

I was checking out this post at Yglesias about Obama making a Jay-Z reference at in a speech yesterday and came across a new crazy named riverdaughter in the comments section. She, a co-blogger and her commenters are sorely vexed here and here by what they perceive as Obama giving Clinton and her supporters the finger at 1:20 in that same video. The second post on the issue references this comment at HuffPo and it made me laugh harder than anything since “Egon Schlemiel”:

Update 2: This comment from huntingtonpost tells me all I need to know about the Obama attitude towards *us*:

Plain as day to all except the Democratic National Committee who say he was just scratching his nose. I called the Obama campaign to complain: 1-866-675-2008 and they LAUGHED. They all think it is a great big cut up. Perhaps if we all call he’ll have to own up to it before the PA vote on Apr. 22.

They laughed. Hmmm, maybe they won’t think it’s so funny if their phone lines are jammed.

They laughed? NFW!!!

WordPress puts the crack in crack!

Did someone mention a bag of dicks?

Here in the Heartland, I fucked Gary Ruppert. Of course, it required several poppers and a vat of cherry-flavored AnalEase, but we here in the Heartland appreciate the G*dly value of soldiering on in the face of adversity and resistance, something you liberals will never understand.

Also, it was WordPress in the library with the pepperbox revolver.

You know how certain scent combinations are indelibly linked to a particular memory?

No! Not at all! This is exactly the kind of moral degeneracy that decent, hard-working, G*d-fearing folks in the Heartland reject!

I know this nice little coffeehouse. You free this evening?

I miss Bruce.

I don’t like blogwhoring, but Clem made this, which is, even entirely without context, teh awesum.
Context is that Megan made a robot body post, only didn’t think it through too well.

The fact is,
Gary an’ Megan sittin’ in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

And if I may leap into the great egg salad controversy, I’m especially fond of adding chopped steamed spinach into the mix.

I like doing that with scrambled eggs. A restaurant down the street drops a little bit of cream cheese onto that mix too. Yummy by my single guy, single-pan standards.

I think Megan McArdle with laser-guided chainsaw hands could only work out well. Perhaps … too well.

No, actually, just well enough.

gbear said,

I like doing that with scrambled eggs.

Also yummy, but that’s practically a spinach omelette, and nobody’s shocked by that. Spinach-and-egg salad, on the other hand, strikes most folks I know as a novelty (or additional proof of my eccentricity.)

Spinach is our friend.

I do cabbage in scrambled eggs sometimes. Prepare the eggs with mirin and soy sauce instead of milk, and saute the cabbage a little in peanut oil before adding the eggs. Serve with rice or mushu-style, with green tea.

I thought the whole point to egg salad was that it isn’t supposed to taste like anything.

Myself, I only eat the stuff mixed at a 1:20 ratio in a big tasty serving of chopped liver.

I have no doubt that MM receives much more sexist commentary than Michael McCardle would get.

It’s too bad she uses that fact as an excuse to toss off the legitmate objections to her “work”.

But then, she is a shallow moron.

Phil Moscowitz is after my egg salad recipe, which is so good you could plotz.

I read that yesterday . Couldn’t make it through the comments before saying “Ick!”, and hittin’ the red “X”. That audience alone is embarassment enough , to cause one to hide in a cave for a few years, hoping for obscurity . ( Did ObL will them to MM?) Btw, is there anyone in the known universe that actually thought Cindy McCain had even seen the site, let alone authored any of it?

Oh Gary , did you mention “proof”?. & if you need some connect-the-dots hand-holding try this , this , or this .

Y’know, the tipoff that the recipes weren’t actually Cindy’s was that the dessert recipes didn’t include crushed Quaaludes (or substitute powdered Oxycontins if Quaaludes aren’t available) as a topping.

Just saying.

Is he ever coming back?

I made a bologna and cheese and crank sammich once.

It wasn’t bad, and it worked.

The challenge was to get it all eaten before you, well, couldn’t

mikey

I was going to agree with this: There’s nothing there, is there?

But then I clicked on Susan of Texas’ link. Oh my fucking god. I can’t even conceive of the level of nothingness there. Alicia Silverstone’s character in “Clueless” is more substantive.

Ehmmmmmmaaaaaah!! /stanleykarwolski

“I made a bologna and cheese and crank sammich once.”

Peanut butter & honey & psilocibin er psilicybin er whatever.

NOTE: Don’t eat psylisyban on a full stomach. It takes for freakin ever to take hold. And if you’re already full it’s not easy to eat all that peanut butter & honey & bread, either.

Did the NVA decorate Juan McBush? He did lose 6 planes and set his own carrier on fire.

Liberals, I have returned. I have heard your crying and constant pleading so I have harkened your call and have returned to you. Maybe now you will listen to me and realize that Conservatism is the only way to save America and Western Civilization.

I hope you liberals have learned something during my absence. I will not leave you again until I have changed your hearts and minds
