Damn, I guess I AM the queen of Romania.

I have proof that Mark in Austin is really Marie in Sofia!

The Sarcasm….it burns!

Now I’m gonna have to do something to get “Everybody Was Dumb Fu Fighting” from playing over and over in my head. Ouch

And the comments, of course…what can one say? Here’s a favorite:

whether Ayers wrote it or not, whether Ayers admits he wrote it or not, imho, is irrelevant, fact is, they were so close to one anther, he might
as well have written it..

I made the mistake of posting a comment over there. I better cover up my granite countertops STAT.

I’m banned over there. That happens to me a lot….

They were close to one anther? I didn’t even know they were into botany.

Well, apparently I’m banned from commenting at Eschaton, so it’s not just the righties that do it. Although I’ll be damned if I know what I said to earn that. The new commenting system there is whack.

Yeah, I can imagine. So far I’m just a useful idiot.

Wow. The post along with the comments at the top is like Waiting for Godot and the Blind Men and the Elephant joke, combined. In a simplified version.

Banned at Gateway?

Dude.

Looks like Dumberer and Dumberest is in production there.

You made me do this, TBogg:

My absolute favorite song in sixth grade, 1974-5.

Hey, at least it’s not Heino.

Heino! Yikes, NO!

As another great mind once typed (almost): Ayers ISREAL!!

Thinking that no one could be that stupid, I got out of the boat.

Not only can someone be that stupid, but they (blog poster and commenters) are ever so passionate in their stupidity. Some are true conspiracy nut-jobs (likely Art Bell castaways), but there are a couple who are acerbically hostile. You know, the type that either are totally impotent and lash out in frustration, or the type that would sell their Jewish neighbor to the SS if there were recognition in it for them.

The interesting thing is that edub’s comment was still up…as were a couple of others that I assume are TBoggophiles with different noms de blog. But, I suppose this gives the hostiles something at which to throw their missives. And miss. (Pun! Hee! Okay – not my forte. Cut me some slack – I’ve only had one nightcap so far.)

Heino? That’s Lawrence Welk on steroids. Whoa! Now there’s the Aryan God of ParTay right there!

Jim Hoft’s protégé has to be a dumbass. Otherwise he’d fail the final Jim Hoft exam.

The essence of the conservative reader of lying bastard conservative bloggers

Truth and facts don’t matter, because what isn’t true “might as well be…”

“A searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and
the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair.” -BO]

Wow. That guy really IS stupid.

Sadly, not even trolls are banned over there any more – the new ‘commenting system’ is so whack that only the trolls are comfortable.

Every dingdang time I think the nadir of stooopidity has been reached, it sinks even further. Ooooh, Johnny boy, you are some intrepid writer, aren’t you? I bet NO one else on the introns has EVER seen this vid–

Never mind. Anus beret.

Nuts. Really wish I had missed the dumb. Too empathetic for my own good. Anybody’s public embarassment like this leaves me feeling a scary vestigal tail between my legs. If the rest of the wing nuts take this up, I’ll have to go on an internet fast and hide under the bed.

“Die schönsten Mädchen / In dem Bergen / Sie heißt Sioux [pron: zee-ux] City Sue…”

Um. Where was I? Oh, yeah.

Of course what Ayers said wasn’t a joke. Liberals don’t even know what a joke is. A joke is when you wish physical harm on, or offer a violent threat to, a liberal. Simple as that. Oh, and also what (I think it was) Sean Kelly identified as the number one conservative joke: If they (the poor, women, minorities, the disabled) are so smart, why aren’t they (rich, or able to walk)?

Now, that’s humor! Where was I? Oh, yeah.

“Komm zu meinen Wig-wam! [WIG-WAM!]…”

The proof they were close is secret video of the President singing The Police’s “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” at karaoke back in the mid-90s. he loved the tuition-fruition rhyme

I wouldn’t sweat it.

I got banned for using the word “guillotine”, which apparently was acceptable for others to use…just not commenters who didn’t sufficiently genuflect to Atrios and his inner circle of the elect. The excuse made was that it constituted a “threat” which would make sense if there was a history here of malcontents shouldering their way past Secret Service and other security, kidnapping politicians, and beheading them with guillotines…or if any particular person had been named as a target for said treatment.

I concluded that the real reason was that Atrios is a douche.

Well, I was posting along and suddenly, I was blocked. I’ve been posting there for years, but not a lot of volume. It might have been me sparring with one of the posters who constantly trolls atheist boards with his ‘all wisdom is derived from religious traditions’ facile bullshit. I wasn’t rude but I’m also not real respectful of false religious claims. I must have crossed a line somewhere, but if I did, it wasn’t clearly marked.

I’m kind of done with them, anyway. That comment section has become the rhetorical equivalent of an ingrown toenail. A few regulars ride their regular hobbyhorses, and it’s not that enjoyable to watch. Atrios himself I have no quarrell with. His front page is a good place to watch for news and I love his curb cuts and zoning posts.

After perusing his resume, he had me at:
“Evangelized proper SEO to editorial and design teams”

Anyone that pads their resume with that much bullshit and without thinking it sounds sorta, umm, bullshitty is clearly a solutioneer riding the wrong end of the hockeystick curve to …whatever.
