Sadly, No!

Have a safe Memorial Day.  Try to attend any tribute services or special events in your neighborhood before gouging your fat commie faces with tofu burgers and Amstel Light 🙂

It turns out that sometimes the people you think you know best are the people you don’t know at all. From Fox News:

Ever wish you could whisper in the president’s ear? Give him advice on issues plaguing the nation? Well, here’s your chance to tell the world what you would do if you were president of the United States. Twice weekly, we’ll ask our readers a question about an issue facing the nation and post your responses here.

Today’s question:

If you were president, what would YOU do to keep immigrants from entering the United States illegally?

The answer?

“Remember the Great Depression? When America sucked to live in and everyone was poor and out of work? Did we sneak into other countries to solve our problems? No, we fixed our own country through hard work. It’s time these Mexicans take pride in their own country and do something to make it a better place. Quit running away from your problems; take ownership of them. ” — Brad

What’s even better than a moonbat blog called Sadly, No!? A wingnut site called The Fact Is. To top it off, TFI even does shorters of its own pieces, such as:

Sex-trafficking is a big business and it’s a big problem across the blog [sic]. And the radical Sexual Left doesn’t want to stop it.

Other articles’ shorters ask rhetorical questions its authors don’t answer, such as:

AIDS turns 25 this year. Why is it that despite millions of dollars spent on education and prevention campaigns infection rates have remained the same?

As Sadly, No! continues its life with WordPress, we are working to iron out some kinks, including:

• All comments being posted by Mal de Mer getting treated as SPAM by SK2.
• The popup comments thing.
• The comments in the RSS feed thing.

Let us know if we forgot anything.

Ezra, didn’t I say earlier that writing in-depth critiques of Jonah Goldberg’s work was an utter waste of time? So why are you still doing it? Dude, seriously. Your life will become much mo’ enjoyable when you learn to dismiss Jonah out of hand and then toss in a cheap ad hominem for good measure. Now, step away from the laptop, fire up your TiVo, and check out that Price is Right re-run you’ve been meaning to watch. C’mon, dude, Barkers’ Beauties are calling you.

“Ezra Klein… stop debating Jonah and COME ON DOWN!”

UPDATE: On the other hand, this takedown of Larry Kudlow by Dr. DeLong is bloody hilarious.  He uses just the right mix of wonkish nerdspeak and the blogosperic language of “OMG, your a moron, LMFAO!11!!

“Hey Brad, are you feeling the rage?”

Now I can die in peace.  Matt Furey, known for running several of the various scams advertized on NewsMax, has responded to a post I wrote making fun of him last year!

Hey Folks!

This is the Matt Furey, and i’m so pissed at you guys for having a conversation about my products without inviting me!

You guys can say what you want; but you’re ugly, unsuccessful, short and fat losers who never get any sexual action!

Hey!  I am not short!

I like Ezra Klein, but he spends way too much time thoughtfully dissecting Jonah Goldberg in this post.  It should be clear by now that Jonah is an intellectual masochist who takes perverse pleasure in getting sand kicked in his face by  infinitely more intelligent left-wing jocks.  Any effort to seriously critique Jonah’s work is a futile exercise, as he’ll just shrug off your concerns, crack open another can of Red Bull, and churn out yet another 750-worder attacking the left for being objectively pro-murder.  If you spend more than two sentences debunking one of Jonah’s columns, you are literally wasting precious minutes that could be used for more productive activities, such as TIVO-ing The Price is Right and hitting “pause” every time the camera zooms in on one of the Barker girls’ cleavage.  To save young wonks like Ezra from wasting their lives responding to Jonah Goldberg, I have made a list of the three best responses to any Jonah Goldberg piece.  You can mix’n’match ’em as you see fit:

1.) “Jonah Goldberg is the stupidest man alive.” (We’ll call this “The DeLong Method.”)

2.) “Jonah Goldberg is a wanker.” (a.k.a., the Atrios Method.)

3.) “Jonah Goldberg spends his weekends watching Xena re-runs while receiving injections of Mountain Dew and Twinkee filling into his buttocks.” (a.k.a., The Remarkably Insensitive and Mean-Spirited Bradrocket Method.)

Fun, fun, fun:

Iraqi minister defends Iranian nuclear program

Iran has a right to develop nuclear technology and the international community should drop its demands that Tehran prove it’s not trying to build a nuclear weapon, Iraq’s foreign minister said Friday.

So how long until we invade Iraq again (if we ever leave)?

So I’ve become a big fan of Lost and the new Battlestar Galactica.  I was shocked to like both of them, especially Lost, since it’s the first good show ABC has ever produced.  What say the rest of you?
