Now THAT I could vote for!

Uh, last time I checked, Obama was running for some office or other. That involves spending most of your time convincing people that you’re interesting — at least more interesting than your opponent. Jonah, that’s the way the game is played around here. Now, of course, you may have been too busy researching the fascist ways of monkeys or whatever the hell your last book was about to fully grasp that.

Now, the fact that Obama’s opponent has the charisma, appeal (and probably scent) of week-old road kill should make the job a lot easier, but he’s still got to go out there and hug some babies and press some flesh.

I know, Jonah, every time you try to get near your fans they (okay, let’s be honest, he) either a) can’t be found, or b) recoil in horror at the thought of your touching them, but trust us on this one: a guy like Obama can obtain his fix of praise from significant numbers of people simply by speaking coherently and inspirationally, and listening to what they have to say. You should try either of those some day, Jonah, and maybe — just maybe — your stint as an intellectual leper would finally come to an end.

Regular blog commenters — now there are some fucking egos!

Quoth Vonnegut:

There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don’t know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president.

Of course, that’s all well and good for Father Kurt, who’s up in heaven now.*

*That’s a humanist joke, son…

Christ on a cracker, where the fuck did that pillow come from? I need to procure several to hand out at the holidays. Sure to bring smiles of joy to all my friends and family.

Hasn’t Pantload been one of the “conservative journalists” invited to little gatherings at the White House to hear the Shithead-in-Chief muse about his “legacy?” His place in history? How the historians of the future Galactic Empire will be awed by his glory?

I admire your meter, sir!

If you strapped Lieberman to the roof of the car, he’d be beaten to death by the flapping of his own jowls long before he shit the crate he was in. Just sayin’.

You know why Jonah is so goddamn ubiquitous? Because he never shuts up. He writes approximately 7839 columns a week. He’s willing to publish every single moronic flicker of thought that crosses what passes for his brain. He’s the ultimate example of quantity over quality. And in today’s media world that’s enough to make you a star.

Shorter Jonah” “Obama should stop campaigning to demonstrate his modesty.”

Speak for yourself. There’s nothing wrong with my ego. I should know. I comment here to let everyone know my magnificence.

ok, you can stop laughing now. Really. Stop. Enough!

The German review is positive, with some reservations regarding rigor of some of the arguments, too broad a scope, and not really about the militaristic fascism of Italy and Germany. Also faults the book for spending too much time bashing Hollywood, and finds it week in analyzing current US poltical figures. But, in the end recommends it. Says it works best when fascism is considered to be a kind of ‘meta-ideology’ that envelopes others, kind of like the borg.

But, the author of the review apparently sees the world as Jona Goldberg does. A quote from the review:
“It is amazing that fascism arose in the US even before it did in Italy (Woodrow Wilson)”

Not just Joe’s jowls, but by his co-religionists! My husband says that we Jews ought to stage “an intervention,” but concedes it might get a trifle messy. We’re known as “the people of the book”; may we deploy them?

i know we get a little wild here, but this is really beyond the pale.

no one would do that to the hood of a car.

can you say “nightmare”?!
