I missed harassing my favorite wingnut! Oh, the fun I used to have with him at South Knox Bubba’s! Especially when he used to have the “Help me buy this Trek Bicycle” Paypal button on his blog, and I shamed him until he removed it! I might have to start checking here a bit more than my current once a week. Then again, I probably won’t. Damn, only one old-timer on this thread. Sad.</p> Dammit!

I think he was “released” from his job as some sort of PR person at a college in Tennessee for posting a cartoon about the Prophet Muhammed. Here’s some linkage about that. (Oh, and that classy cartoon is there too)

Nashville, Tennessee’s Bill Hobbs, the Volunteer State’s second best known conservative blogger, lost his job at Belmont University for publishing a cartoon featuring Mohammed, alluding to the Danish cartoons which have created an international uproar.

Bill of course has all the class of Michelle Malkin in John Derbyshire’s body and writes with the erudition of the Doughy Pantload himself.

Hobbs was a pain in the ass four years ago and is living proof that ‘roids get no better… ever, and being the second-best conservative blogger in Tennsess is akin to being the whore closest to virginity in the brothel.

For instance, let’s drop Hobbsy, Bill O, Sidney, maybe Malkin, Ann Althouse, etc. onto the set of a reality show, like ‘Survivor’. Or better yet, how about ‘Project Runway’? On second thought, that wouldn’t work. They would just design the same white sheet and hood ensemble every week.</p> If these people weren’t so goddamn frightening and a threat to civilization as long as they hold power, observing them from a distance would be one of the most fascinating “social” studies experiments of all time.
