This is hysterical and spot-on. I suspect it will be updated often so bookmark it and keep checking back. Blogenlust’s Law: As an online discussion among wingnuts grows longer, the probability that a Clinton will be blamed for something approaches 1 (i.e., certainty). The "Even Clinton Agreed" Corollary to Blogenlust’s Law There is equal probability that a wingnut will point … Read More
Concept Of Time Eludes O’Reilly
Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, on his show The Radio Factor, August 22, complained that Grandparents Day this year will fall on 9/11: "Now, listen to this. September 11 not only the day of the attack, but it’s Grandparents Day. Can you imagine who made the calendar on Grandparents Day on September 11, what a genius this was?" The answer? … Read More
The Other Crazy Pat
WorldNutDaily has an exclusive. The old headline, as reported here, was "Rock Legend Shreds Cindy Sheehan ‘Peaceniks’" but apparently the editors at WND had second thoughts about being on the side of someone involved with rock (aka "the devil’s music"). And who is that "rock legend"? Why, Pat Boone, of course, who became famous for taking songs from black musicians … Read More
Soldiers Are Special
I don’t get it. The rightosphere is all up in arms about a barroom attack in Seattle in which two guys, soldiers who had just returned from Iraq, got savagely beaten. Obviously, any illegal altercation which leaves two men seriously injured is stomach-turning. But sadly, there are probably hundreds of bar fight every day in this country of ours. Why … Read More
More “Blame The Media”
Shorter John Hindrocket: Soldiers are supposed to die, so stop telling me about it. Powerline blogger John Hindrocket finally acknowledges that the majority of Americans are now against the war in Iraq. But it’s the media’s fault, for only reporting the casualty count, he says, and nothing else: Not only do news outlets generally fail to report the progress that … Read More
Who To Believe?
To hear right wingers talk (at least today), recruitment levels in the Army are just fine. From New York Post columnist Ralph Peters (via Powerline), we get this today: Every one of the Army’s 10 divisions — its key combat organizations — has exceeded its re-enlistment goal for the year to date. Those with the most intense experience in Iraq … Read More
Not Angry
In response to a comment on that his blog is "full of hatred and anger", Corrente not only denied the charge, but set out to compile a list of things he was not angry about, as well as things he doesn’t hate. It’s not only long, but a work-in-progress, so check out Corrente’s site for the latest revisions and updates: … Read More
LaShawn’s Carefully Constructed World
From Jesse Taylor at Pandagon, we learn that conservative Christian blogger LaShawn Barber (pictured at right) is making sure that everybody acts as the no-insult-Barber police: LaShawn Barber has a set of rules for tracking back to her site that have me giggling a little bit. Here are the good ones: 4) Trackbacks leading to offensive, ad hominem-laced, and/or libelous … Read More
We, Robots
Shorter John Ponderhatz: "I’ve written 12,000 words on a subject I don’t understand, and for some reason, robots are attacking me and pointing out my errors." I’m not following the Able Danger scandal much, which is why I don’t write about it. If John doesn’t like robots, he should do the same. Robots thrive on ignorance.
Ann Coulter: The Gift That Keeps On Giving
I love her: To expiate the pain of losing her firstborn son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush’s Crawford ranch. I don’t think she went to Crawford to "cheer herself up". But note that we’re only one sentence in, and we have more amature psychology from the … Read More
Can Dish It Out But . . .
… can’t take it, apparently. It has been 10 days since I first posted on Cindy Sheehan, and after sticking my neck out and taking massive amounts of ongoing abuse and ridicule for giving her the scrutiny she deserves, I am more than happy to let others pick up the slack. Then she links to others who continue continue slamming … Read More
Another Grieving Mom
Courtesy of The Green Knight, here’s a picture of another grieving Mom: Green Knight adds: …this man went to his death voluntarily and heroically. He was an adult when he did it. Apparently, according to the modern pro-war right, most of which thinks it’s Christian, his mom shouldn’t have been unhappy about it. Green Knight, with apologies to Cenk Uyger … Read More
Wingnuttia Of The Day
A.W. at Freespeech.com has been on trial lately (he says), so he’s been a little late in playing the Cindy Sheehan smear game. But what he lacks in punctuality, he make up for in both verbosity and wingnuttery: I’ll lay out my evidence shortly, but here are the pertinent points in my book. The proper reaction, I think, should be … Read More
Michelle’s Lame Response
As I reported yesterday, intellectually dishonest Michelle Malkin reported about Cindy Sheehan’s divorce claiming that "like it or not, it is news", a seeming contradiction of her previous "hands off" policy when it came to the mentioning of Dick Cheney’s lesbian daughter and the New York Times inquiry into John Roberts’ kids. Today, Malkin lamely responded to the obvious hypocrisy: … Read More
The Lower Depths
Just when you think Michelle Malkin can’t get any lower in her smears of Cindy Sheehan, she does: Like it or not, the dispute between Cindy Sheehan and some of her family members is news. Malkin then goes on to note that divorce proceedings have been filed by her husband against Ms. Sheehan. Others have pointed out what I’m about … Read More
