Just about two years ago, I was honored to host one of the more fascinating events on the intertubes. I speak, of course, of the Infamous Alec Rawls Comment Thread and Bedlamite Coming Out Party. Sometime following that event, after I was done picking up the beer cans, cigarette butts, and the assorted discarded underwear, I switched from Blogspot comments to Haloscan. In the process, all of the previous comment threads were lost…
Or so we thought.
Fortunately through the miracle of intertubes nerdiness the Lost Commentinent has been rediscovered and you can go read them here… if you’re the kind of person with absolutely nothing else going on in your life. Like, you know, people who read blogs.
But wait!
I recently received an email from… Alec Rawls
(I bet you clicked on him all three times, didn’t you?)
Who directed me to this post at his blog, Error Theory. It seems that I am involved in some kind massive Islamocover-up of Brobdingnagian proportions.
That mean really really big. Huuuuuge. Bigger than a John Stoessel’s ego. So, like, ginormous.
That also means really really big.
So, yes. I have been busted. I’ve been getting more payoffs than Bill Bennett with a roll of nickels at Circus Circus. Between George Soros and Osama bin Laden I’ve received so many Miatas, that some of them are still sitting around in the blister packs.
Anyway, go visit Alec’s blog. He desperately need the attention.
Me? I’ve got like seven cars I need to Turtle Wax and the prairie dog needs a nap.

Oh gawd, I clicked over to see who this Alec fellow is; what a load. Perhaps later this evening I will go read the original post and comments; mostly because I missed it the first time and I also suspect that it makes the Dan Collins telenovela pale in comparison.
And yes, I did click on him all 3 times. Little sucker’s neck must be getting tired by now.
Jesus Christ that guys wants to have sex with you so badly I think he wears a condom when he types.
TBogg’s got a boooyyyyfrieennddd …. TBogg’s got a boooyyffrriiiennndd.
Wow there are a lot of words over at that other site. Any chance we can have a graphic version? I just like to look at the pictures…..
oh humboldtblue, I hadn’t thought of that.
sorta changes the idea for the graphics, huh?
“oh humboldtblue, I hadn’t thought of that.”
Sheesh, I wish I hadn’t. But to lighten things up a bit … this is a news story with legs … (I mean GAMS baby)
Man Finally Put In Charge Of Struggling Feminist Movement
December 3, 2007
WASHINGTON—After decades spent battling gender discrimination and inequality in the workplace, the feminist movement underwent a high-level shake-up last month, when 53-year-old management consultant Peter “Buck” McGowan took over as new chief of the worldwide initiative for women’s rights.

Miatas? I think you must have black helicopters.
How did Alec Rawls get trapped inside such a massive veil of ignorance?
Lou has to be pissed this guy is sharing the name.
You’ll never find…
It’s just soooooo hard to find out this way. I always knew his “little internet friends” would be the end of us……..Of course it’s possible that I can be bought off with one of the Miatas. : )
Tom, should we be concerned about this nutcase stalking you????
Truly epic.
I’ve been a reader and commenter here for a while, but somehow I missed that one and never got to see the carnage until now.
It makes my participation in the Dan Collins thread look positively Grenadan.
Has Alec thought about investigating Betsy Ross? Why did she choose the same type of star that the Islamofascists have on their flags? Could our heritage have been unduly influenced by Islamosymps back in the early days of our nation’s history?
Sad to see that this guys is still flogging his wacko theories. Perhaps he can merge his fixiation in with Gomer’s Beauchamp, and Malkin’s Jamil Hussein and we could see the makings of a unified field theory of the Grand Inconsequential Delusion…
Jeebus, not this nutball again. It was bad enough the first time. I think humboldtblue’s got it, though, what with Alec’s noting Tbogg’s comment thread “swelling to epic proportions” and all. Yeah, Alec, it’s the comment thread you’re talking about, right? Riiiiiiiight.
And that dadgum prairie dog clip cracks me up every single time.
So you’re saying you used Soros money to buy a spot at FDL?
Sorry Mrs. Bogg. But if that isn’t the heat generated from an unrequited love, a burning, yearning desire to be loved, well you can call me Mr. Flibbertyjibbit.
Wow, this is so exciting! I was settled in for a cold, boring, snowed-in weekend and instead I can read that comments thread. WOO HOO!
Ma’am, I think you’re entitled to 50% of everything he’s gotten from IslamoSoros ConspiraCorp LLC as a matter of law. So, at the very least, you should get all of the Miatas. If it goes to court, you hae a vast collection of complimentary and evidentiary adjectives in your corner.
And I wouldn’t worry about Alec Rawls. He can’t even follow through in writing, so actual physical activity is unlikely.
Somehow a “crypto-Islamist” enters a contest, & wins it, w/ an obviously Muslim crescent design. How could he have “won” this? The conspiracy must go to the very, very top!!
“high profile conspiracy”?!? Get real, Alex. There’s greater interest in what *really* happens to the socks in the dryer than in your story-of-the-century about the mihrab from hell.
There’s exactly one guy in this play (well, and, apparently, Tancredo, but he’s more like gollum than a real character) with a passion for this crap, and he’s right now trying to think of some other way to get tbogg’s undivided attention. Maybe he’ll be getting a low-to-the-ground puppy next, and then trying to cozy up to you in the threads over at alt.bassetlovers.
Capt,
After reading the diatribe, I’m pretty sure I could kick his ass anyway. But I think the black Miata would go best with my hair…you know that blonde in a convertible thing. I’ll keep the pressure on Tbogg.
MrsTbogg
What I left at chez lunatique:
I still hate your crappy new format
READ MORE
more readers here
Best link from the thread of days gone by is this one: Scroll down in the comments to “Feminism was ALWAYS a lie,” by Mr Rawls himself. He is one dick huck (by which of course I mean sick fuck, but sometimes typos are better).
>unified field theory of the Grand Inconsequential Delusion
Excellent!
More readers, fewer commenters. All the better for those of us who are in it to see our pseudonyms in print (or font) rather than the screeds we used to write by hand & paste on light poles.
And Mme. TBogg comes by more often here!
It’s the first time I saw her comment.I thought she just let Tbogg play here.
Dammit … speaking of sports … the Fighting Blue Hens are on ESPN in the 1-AA championship game … they’re playing Appalachian State (which knocked off Michigan and will also be the school where Ms. South Carolina, she of “The Eye-rack”) … time to go home
Why should he have all the fun???? Glad to join you guys!
Everybody should go check out the general’s place. He has a video up of a dude singing O’Reilly’s sex tapes
I recall that earlier thread and only regret that I didn’t post on it. But many of your regulars are there, for olde tymes sake. Good
skimmingreading.His blog is called “Error Theory”? That’s a clever way of summing up his entire existence, methinks.
.
Aww. I feel sorry for him all over again.
Mother of jabbering Jeebus, he’s been flogging this deadest of horses for two years now?
I blogged for a while, but got tired of seeing “0 comments”, so I packed it in. Trying to gin up some traffic by baiting a Big Dawg Blogger never occured to me; I guess a guy’s gotta do what he’s gotta do.
OK… enough. Back to pinot noir and Nick Drake.
Mrs. TBogg, ixnay on the omTay. You are uiningray the secret identitay.
And I only clicked the Dramatic Prairie Dog twice. In your face, TBogg!!!1!!
I just had to click three times.
Damn you Captain Crazy and your mad MSPaint skillz! Damn you!!!
Understood. And I think your instincts on the Miata are correct. I have a blonde friend with a black Miata, and the combination seems to work very well.
criminy, what’s with the gripes about the READ MORE link? Just click the title and you get the whole thing. Then when you get to the bottom of the page, you can go to the next or the previous post. Seriously, if this is all you have to complain about, you’re in pretty good shape.
Screw the Miatas! If they’re still in the original bubble wrap, make TBogg fork over at least 3 so you can get an Audi TT IMMEDIATELY! You get the ragtop, a Porsche engine for less than those OTHER pretentious cars, and enough space in the back to haul sheets of plywood–or two bassets and a suitcase! (Roof rack for hauling Spouses optional.)
“(I bet you clicked on him all three times, didn’t you?)”
Why, yes. Yes I did.
The “Read More” link is a great example of pretty design trumping actual usability. Yes, it doesn’t render the site unreadable, and yes, all you have to do is click a few more times, but…
Back in the golden days, when TBogg was a voice for freedom and free expression, rather than the firedog lackey that he is today, a single click of my bookmark would load his entire page. That happens in the background, and I can focus my attention on the page only after it’s already been sucked down from the intertubes. Reading his page was a simple exercise in scrolling.
Now, it goes like this:
1) load the main page (in the background)
2) click the “Read More” on the first entry
3) wait for the page
4) read the page
5) click the next entry
6) wait for the page
7) read the page
8)…
“Read more” sucks because I am now spending one-third of my time at tbogg’s site *not* reading his glorious words. Instead, I’m busy looking for the links and waiting for all the bee-yoo-tiful graphics to load.
“Read more” is a *huge* step backwards in terms of web design usability. If I wanted to read an RSS feed, I’d read an RSS feed. Just let me load the friggin’ content and read it once. What’s the point?
And yeah, if this were all I had to complain about, I’d be in pretty good shape. But there’s also my hip, and my head hurrts, and my daughter’s got a cold…
Would you really treat a spouse the way Willard treated his dog?
Spouses go in the trunk.
Wow, I wanted to post in the Clemens blog story, and I AM SIGNED in and registered but.. there is no place to post a comment. Many baseball fans have a whole hell of a lot to say about RC.
TBogg, your new format is much less than expected (sucks) and I really think you have a ghost writer currently (definately a female) who is very not you. FDL was never a regular destination for me. First, now one has to register, and then we cannot comment in several of your posts, not very progressive, or friendly, mostly irritating actually.
Also, the contact feature does not work, as I would have mentioned this PRIVATLY in that forum if possible.
You are missed.
Like you, I really never leave anonymous comments… …but thems folks is creepy.
I could not force myself to press send with my real “handle” attatched. These people have issues with reality vs paranoid fantasy. . .
You do realize that the reason for the read more link is to artificially boost ad impressions, don’t you? Ads are sold usually on a rate of so many impressions over time or over a certain clickthrough number. They use doubleclick as an ad tracker meaning that every user profile and clicks are tracked on the ad servers. When loading two pages to read content you serve up the same targeted ads twice as often, making doubleclick count serving two impressions for a single story.
I work intimately with the doubleclick ad system, so I know of what I speak.
Jeez, I hate it when you do that. I actually clicked over. Now I have to go scrub my brain.
I’ve noticed that my dog always faces east-southeast when she takes a dump outside – I haven’t taken measurements but I’m pretty sure she is facing Mecca. Apparently, this dog is a tool of Islamoblammowhammofascism.
Does a dog have Dhimmi nature?
If it’s a French dog, sure.
Yep. I’ll keep reading but this is a pain for all the reasons jbates describes.
I love how Alec describes everything that doesn’t fit as evidence that the evil Islamist conspirators didn’t want the paranoics to figure out their evil plans…but then finds even deeper symbolism in the errors!
For example, after spending hours explaining how the crescent is a Mihrab and intended to direct people to pray toward Mecca he then points out that it’s actually 1.7 degrees OFF the line to Mecca. So apparently the conspirators were misdirecting the Muslim masses to pray toward…Hmmm! maybe Tel Aviv? Or Berlin?
And then there are the stupid little things. Like his Islamic sundial that is supposed to tell the secret terrorist visitors when to pray? Well the shadows are supposed to tell them…except that he completely miscalculates the dates the shadows strike the trees (which might not even be in those positions…and his diagram shows the shadow being cast somewhere within the trees in any case). He says that the shortest day of the year is June 17th!!!! Well, not in the Northern Hemisphere it ain’t! Where does he get this stuff?
So the poor individuals would be looking about for shadows based upon the wrong days cast somewhere within a copse of trees with no defining edge. You’d need a wall or structure with a defined edge to make such calculations. Not some leafy, ever growing mat of vegetation! Madness! Madness! Madness!
It seems that the guy is a former Stanford student who jumped from one to another field (Economics, to Constitutional Law [eek! A fan of John Yoo I’m sure], to bizarre Islamophobia). He once wrote for Stanford’s Conservative paper (which makes him an author, I suppose).
I think that Rudy Giuliani is going to send him to Malkin as a Christmas gift…with a big red bow on him!
