Shorter Erickson: I didn’t read your book and I loved it!
Speaking of teets, why isn’t the skinny girl on the left pinching hers anymore?
Teat, I think you mean. Unless this is some new Twitter thing.
Oh, one more thing. Irregardless of what I (following wee Riley’s lead) wrote, for all intensive purposes, the expropriate word is “teat.” Of course, this being Wonkette, I’m sure it’s a mute point.
“Teet” is just Mexican for tit.
I like how the national-density-of-habitual-pot-smokers-by-region graphic at the Reason link looks like it’s picturing the density of actual smoke exhaled. Not that much being smoked in the Dakotas is there.
WHAT IF? sounds like the new Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. How can we get some asshole senator from Oklahoma to be named President?
user-of-owls: Actually a teet’s like a tweet, it sucks all on its own.
Of course Nancy Pelosi won’t be offered the Presidency because she is a COMMUNIST MUSLIM LOVER SAN FRANCISCO LIEBRAL MORAN.
Humpback: Even shorter Erickson: *fap* The End.
Click: Ah, I always get that confused with “black hole”, which sucks it all in.
user-of-owls: Why, i am sure a teat is to ‘all intents and purposes’ to be suckled upon? and a teet is one letter shy of of a full tweet.
Awesome. Her favorite policy book: Liberal Fascism. She sees no need to read the old books, she likes the new stuff too!
I’m all for legalizing marijuana, but there are a lot of holes in the “tax it and regulate it and let the corporations profit from it” argument.
First, marijuana is not addictive by nature. Tobacco was made much more strongly addictive (and more strongly carcinogous) by the corporations that have been selling it to us for decades. Do we really want the Philip Morrises and R.J. Reynoldses selling us our legal pot?
And what kind of weak, flavorless weed do you think the government would allow to be sold?
Legalize growing for personal use, that’s the way to go. Tax the seeds and paraphernalia if you must.
user-of-owls: Not to be the word police, but you realize ‘irregardless’ is not actually a word, right. (That’s something Snowbilly would say…). And ‘mute’ means no volume; ‘moot’ means irrelevant. Sorry, I have a few degrees in English/Communications–which won’t even get me a cup of coffee these days, but old habits die hard. Carry on!
Matt Yglesias has officially nuked the fridge.
Texan Bulldoggette: C’mon, multi-degreed girl, you missed ‘for all intensive purposes’ and ‘expropriate’?
[psst. it was a greatest hits tribute to my favorite ignoramusisms]
Oooooh Ewick talked to a gurl!! Next step, he’ll touch one.
Extemporanus: I hate fridgin’ Julio Yglesias.
Texan Bulldoggette: You know I feel so irregardless when you start talkin’ cute, I wanna tell you that I love you, but the point is probably mute.
ManchuCandidate: And that, my friend, is how frottage was born.
“a government bureaucracy filled with bureaucrats”
As opposed to a bureaucracy filled with what? Chihuahuas?
“The Spirit of New York 23″
i.e. Losing
“people of both parties picking off incumbents and insisting on change”
There were no incumbents in NY-23.
“cutting taxes, helping employers, and building up our military”
Cheap campaign gimmicks, concessions to rich people, and torturing the browns. It’s refreshing to see such fresh ideas come from a fresh and refreshing GOP.
user-of-owls: Sorry, sometimes I take Wonkette too seriously…must start drinking! Yep, it’s 5:30…walks to refrigerator.
Then Byrd keels over and Hillary’s plan is complete.
Texan Bulldoggette: What took you so long!
ella: Until Tim Geithner shivs her on inauguration day.
Potater: Yep, it’s a bold fresh pile of conservative.
user-of-owls: et tu, money czar?
comicbookguy: Where’s the Anti-Defecation Leauge when you need them?
Extemporanus: That got me hot.
What if Biden’s motorcade runs over POTUS BHO?
Click: Ooh, let me try!
What you will and what you won’t
What you do and what you don’t
What you can and what you can’t
This is what you need to know:
Loved you though it didn’t show.
da da da
Click: Click, Springfield is cool with the lines.
user-of-owls: Extemporanus: Everything I need to know I learned from my Waitresses:
Demonstrate how certain random movement
can be plotted on a straight line
If you know an object’s special properties,
that can be observed
Now factor in the range of variation
as a function on a curve
With watts we rate the power
With volts we rate the pressure
With amps we rate the quantity
Can’t you be more specific
Can’t you get more specific
Look at the butt…pussy strut
Uh, hey, Erick Erickson, when you interview someone, don’t you usually do it like this?
Retard State: So, Your Honorable Governess, can I touch your hair?
Governess Palin: You betcha Erick, if you put on gloves first.
So why no verbatim interview script from Erickson? The entire interview was paraphrased: “So like then the Governess said something really cool..” Is that because her actual verbatim word salad was too senseless even for Retard State?
And where’s Texan Bulldoggette to correct my goddamned spelling ?
Click: Don’t be a cunt. Leauge is French for ‘tit.’
user-of-owls: Hey, twat do I know?
user-of-owls: Somebody mention Megs?
I don’t get Mark Krikorian. Is he talking about having to replace both the president and the vice president because he wants to get right wingers thinking even more about shooting them dead? Or is he raising the spectre of President Byrd to scare them away from trying it? Either way, I’m really impressed with how irrelevent the National Review has become. I’ll bet a case of William F. Buckley’s favorite brand of scotch that they moon about Sarah Palin until she’s nominated, back her until she loses the 2012 election, and then curse her for some kind of dolchstoss, or something.
Far be it for The Corner to be talking out its ass, but they apparently don’t realize that Nancy Pelosi is in line for the presidency before Senator Byrd.
Erickson, such a weenie. So palin knows fuck-all about fuck-all, and he dare not even ask her what she reads . . . she’s very knowledgeable about China dontcha know, cuz she wants to sell them some energy . . . so the book’s great of course, the end.
“I just had a
terrificterrifying interview with Governor Sarah Palin this afternoon.”/fixed
If everyone in the country was stoned on grass but pretending to be normal .. how would we know?
From the ADL (emphasis added by commentator)
“…but more common is an intense strain of anti-government distrust and anger, colored by a streak of paranoia and belief in conspiracies”
BURN.
Here are a couple of lines from The Corner’s interview with Palin today,
It wouldn’t be a Palin interview without asking about “death panels.” How did she come up with the phrase? “To me, while reading that section of the bill, it became so evident that there would be a panel of bureaucrats who would decide on levels of health care, decide on those who are worthy or not worthy of receiving some government-controlled coverage,” she explains. “Since health care would have to be rationed if it were promised to everyone, it would therefore lead to harm for many individuals not able to receive the government care. That leads, of course, to death.”
The following are a couple of comments from people who have contributed money to support The Corner.
“It is not just the quality of the commentary & commentators, but the “diversity” of views. Not everyone agrees and they say so, lucidly, fluently, and forcefully. For that reason alone, NRO is worth time and effort — and certainly funding.”
“Keep up the good work, and keep exposing the truth through factual debate.”
How do these people know how to reproduce?
Larry McAwful: I’m used to picking out Pavement lyrics here and there, and some broadway showtunes stuff on Wonkette, perhaps some pseudo-Joycian blather and biblical parodies, but really, Der Dolchstoß? I’m impressed, somebody knows their German social history here.
Potater:
“a government bureaucracy filled with bureaucrats”
As opposed to a bureaucracy filled with what? Chihuahuas?
ROTFLMAO! A bureaucracy filled with chihuahuas would be inefficient and absolutely adorable.
PickneyPinchback:
Uh, hey, Erick Erickson, when you interview someone, don’t you usually do it like this?
Retard State: So, Your Honorable Governess, can I touch your hair?
Governess Palin: You betcha Erick, if you put on gloves first.
Epic win.
JFC, can we just legalize weed already? I’m tired of waiting.
“Erick Erickson had an intimate discussion with Sarah Palin at a WaPo salon (?). [RedState]”
How intimate was it? Did they compare belly buttons?
PickneyPinchback: I assumed the tape in his recorder broke (or the super mini flash memory chip got lost, same thing) and he just didn’t want to admit that.
Texan Bulldoggette: As an engineer with no English background I always like to ask, are you equally adamant about policing the word “inflammable” out of usage? Just curious.
