Oh fuck the fuck off, you fuck.
Hey look some dumb wingnut got the AOL and is going to “convert liberals.” To what? Nobody knows! Just read this email today and, uh, every day. If not, this ‘tard is going to try to shut off your power, maybe even your water. Be careful!

By devoutly praying to Jeebus, getting a Sam’s Club membership, and finding a good wife, I successfully converted from being a dumb librul. I still like fucking men, though! But that’s my problem. And Vitter’s.

I wish to be bribed with meth and tawdry truckstop buttsex before I convert. Your offer of a doublewide, a paper hat and no health insurance just isn’t doing it for me.

fork-wielding maniac December 4, 2009 at 10:04 am

yes, convert me, so that i, too, can wait around in a rotting trailer for some rich douchebag to deign give me a job – while he raids pension accounts, opens factories in china-stan, buys politicians, and takes off to the virgin islands with my mom and his secretary.

oops. i have said too much.

anyway, just count me as not being converted yet. (you shouldn’t have tried to force me to take riding lessons, dad. you know i hate horses.)

although trickle-down seems like it could work for me. ’cause, you know, rich people are trustworthy. and they could make me rich, too.

also.

Now I see the error of my ways, that in order for a healthcare system to provide value it is necessary for some people to be denied care and driven into bankruptcy, to prevent rationing. I feel a new urge to abolish all regulations on commerce, safety, and pollution. Let’s allow corporations to set up their own regulatory bodies, then people who want regulations can decide for themselves through the free market. I want a snowbilly in office now.

Andrew, like Ernest Hemingway, uses just enough words to tell the story (or, in this case, the stories).

Wow. Someone just compared the author of that e-mail to Ernest Hemingway. I shall make several other comparisons, for satirical purposes only:

1) Andrew, like Ernest Hemingway, is fat.

2) Andrew, like Ernest Hemingway, is a drunk.

3) Andrew, like Ernest Hemingway, supports Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba.

4) Andrew, like Ernest Hemingway, shot his fat, drunk, communist ass dead with a shotgun.

At 98 pages, “Glimmers of Hope” is really more of a pamphlet, Andrew Lawrence. And the promotional copy, including the “reviews” are just as badly written as the e-mail. So it’s less a pamphlet, and more a waste of 98 perfectly good pieces of paper, 100 if you include the covers. And you can already buy it used (for more than the list price (!?!) so why even bother with your shameless self-promoting e-mail, Andrew Lawrence, asshole “author” of “Glimmers of Hope”?

OT. I just pointed out to a member of my staff that her sparkly white Xmass ornament (proudly displayed on her desk) reminded me strongly of the kind of white cakes they used to put in urinals in a futile attempt to make them smell a little less. I feel that this was the least I could do as my part of the war against Xmass.

Since he has a book on Amazon, I guess that settles it.

Amazon would never let anyone sell a dangerous, crazy, unhinged product on its pages.

Like … umm … a Steering Wheel Computer Desk.

[re=471801]Strongy O[/re]: I think we should tell the publisher that we want this available for the Kindle. Or he can just send PDF scans of of the manuscript, written in Big Chief tablets, in crayon.

I thought Ted Haggard had already converted all the liberals into self-hating, closeted gay meth head fundamentalist bottoms.

Why am I always the last to get the memo?

PrairiePossum December 4, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Trying to convert a Wonketteer is like trying to nail Jello to a tree. Besides Andy, its Christmas. Shouldn’t you be fighting a Christmas war – ya know…wandering around Walmart demanding the employees say “Merry Christmas,” buying cheap, Chinese-made, plastic nativity scenes for your yard, and dressing up as Santa so young children will want to sit on your lap.

glamourdammerung December 4, 2009 at 12:42 pm

[re=471814]loquaciousmusic[/re]: Why does this liberal want to tell Avis how they can run their business? Let me guess, they probably want the government to step in to protect smokers from the “discrimination” they face.

I’m not buying one of his books, so here’s my guess – he found out that there’s an element named Ameri-cum in smoke detectors, so naturally he swallowed it. Unfortunately for him, it’s radioactive. Case closed.

Crazybroad December 4, 2009 at 1:42 pm

The most[re=471741]bureaucrap[/re]: I found this review of Mr. Lawrence’s opus particularly compelling:

“I found this book very anti-freedom. It is a propaganda pamphlet with no substance and just a bunch of absurd empty slogans. Like the eight arms of the octopus. What octopus? They live in the ocean, not on ground, and America is the ground. There are no octopus threats to freedom. Also, socialism is the best. And I like communism.

Did that last paragraph confuse you? Basically the whole book is like that, so don’t waste your money and time. Instead, get a good book on marijuana cultivation and induce a stupor-like state in a productive manner.”

Chewbacca Jesus, you are my new hero.

Because it worked so well with the Confederacy.

[re=471755]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: If only there were any radical, far-left liberals (oxymoron alert, liberals aren’t exactly radical) left in these United States. Then there might be some hope for us.

Neilist December 4, 2009 at 2:29 pm

“How do you convert a liberal.”

Well, a gun often helps.

I mean, if you define “convert” broadly . . . as in, “convert to compost.”

Short of that: Notifying him/her of a COMMUNIST PLOT TO KIDNAP BUTTERSTICK! TO ARMS! TO ARMS! If you can’t shoot, you at least can reload for those who can! And if you can’t reload, you can serve as a Human Sandbag!

I asked Jesus about this, and he told me that, rather than giving up one’s foreskin as one would when converting to Jewishness, one surrenders one’s pee-pee to this jag-offs oral ministrations.

And then Jesus laughed and laughed.
