A Confederacy of Dunces

I believe that most everyone here would agree that, in political terms, “independent” means “uninformed, shallow, and/or spineless”.  The only way you can be independent is to ignore policy substance and embrace personal style.

When it comes to policy issues, anyone that wants to take a 5-minute break from eating their boogers can identify primarily with either Republicans or Democrats on major issues such as the proper role of government, taxes, prosecuting the war on terror, gun control, school choice, affirmative action and how the Constitution should be interpreted.

Of course most people don’t agree 100% with either side on these and other issues but they pick a team.  Most non-helmet wearing adults have fired the requisite number of neurons to know on which side they belong.  But not independents.  Because that boring shit doesn’t matter to them.  No, they vote based on personal style and how that personal style makes them feel.

The vast majority of independents want to be on the team that will get them invited to the cool-kids’ parties.  They are influenced by hype, oratory, fashion, appearance, Hollywood, the bullshit that splatters out of the MSM and other complete superficialities.  I have a personal anecdote to illustrate how an independent votes.

When I was a little girl in 3rd grade, it was 1976 and the Carter and Ford campaigns were in full swing.  My 3rd grade teacher was Miss Yarborough who was young and smoking hot and she also had enormous boobs although that is not germane to this story.  Anyway…one day she talked about the two men running for President and a little about their personal histories.  She didn’t talk much about the political issues because we were in 3rd grade and still eating paste and melting crayons on the radiator.

After she was done discussing Ford and Carter, she handed out secret ballots and we all voted.  I asked my buddy Jimmy Starnes who was sitting next to me who he voted for and he said he voted for Carter.  When I asked him why, he told me it was because he and Carter were both named Jimmy.  Jimmy Starnes in 3rd grade was an independent.

The reason I got to thinking about all this was an article I just read that brilliantly illustrates the vapidity of independents.

The article at RealClearPolitics is titled “Why I Regret Voting for President Obama” by an supermassive ignoramus named Jill Dorson.  It starts:

I am a registered Independent. I voted for Barack Obama. And for that, I am sorry.

Okay great.  Here…let me make some room for you on the bandwagon, Jill.  Then she gets to why she voted for Obama in the first place.

I voted for hope and change and all the intangibles that Obama was peddling in the wake of the financial crisis, Sarah Palin, Sept. 11 and all the other ills that shook our country in the last decade. I wanted something new. Something different.

I had to read that three times for it to sink in.  Of all the ills that we suffered during the last decade, and they are voluminous, Ms. Dorson, registered independent, deems three worthy of mention by name: the second worst financial crisis in our nation’s history, the worst attack in our nation’s history and this:

Well done Jill.  You are obviously a deep-thinker, emotionally well balanced and imbued with supremely rational thought.

If I had brain cells to spare, I would love to hear Ms. Dorson explain why exactly she considers Sarah Palin an ill on par with the worst economic conditions in our lifetime and the horrific deaths of 3,000 innocent Americans.  If the explanation is anything other than rank jealously, I would laugh.

Independents gave the election last year to Obama and the Democrats and it appears they are poised to give the one in November to the Republicans.  I will happily ride that bandwagon with the likes of Ms. Dorson but when the election in over and the Democrats have been politically curb-stomped, I’m kicking her fat ass to the curb.

You ma’am are a gigantic idiot and the fact that your vote counts the same as mine is a fucking outrage.

    I do physical labor.
    I work at great depths.
    I plunge headfirst into everything I do.
    I do not get weekends or public holidays off.
    I work in a damp environment.
    I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation.
    I work in high temperatures.

  28. Dear P Niss:

    After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:
    You do not work 8 hours straight.
    You fall asleep after brief work periods.
    You do not always follow the orders of the management team. You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.
    You do not take initiative – you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
    You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.
    You don’t always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the
    Correct protective clothing.
    You will retire well before you are 65.
    You are unable to work double shifts.
    You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed the assigned task..
    And if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.

    Sincerely,
    V. Gina

    Hahahaha. Only because your pants are unavailable.

    I don’t know if any of you read the full article written by the dumb chick but it’s amazing the severity of her PDS. It’s Chris Matthews severe.

  30. WheneverI hear this statement “fiscal conservative and a social liberal” I call BULLSHIT.

    That woman is a toolbox.

  31. Hahahahahahaha.

    http://tinyurl.com/yfd3nhp

  32. That’s one opinion.

    When I hear the word “moderate” appied to a person’s political philosophy, I tend to think of this:

    Revelation 3:15-16 (New King James Version)
    15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

    Harsh? Probably, but at the same time, we can blame moderates for the conditions we find ourselves in today. Because standing with the newest idea or the new kids is more important than understanding that there is such a thing as right and wrong, and actually standing firm for what is right, even when the beguiled and the beguiling tell us that we are wrong for doing so, because we oppose what they want and know to be wrong. The path has always been clear, but the moderates among us, blown to and fro with the winds of “public opinion” have been the ones eager to allow themselves to be cowed into “tolerating” anything from idiotic fiscal policy, and destructive social policy, butressed by the functioning of government welfare programs, to finally, revisionist history, deliberately undertaken in an attempt to both gaslight older generations that know the real history, and deny younger ones the chance to know and understand the truth for themselves…so much better to take over a nation, my pretties. [insert evil cackle here]. ALL. PERMITTED. BY. MODERATES, being moderate, and waging their fingers at those of us who declined to drink the hemlock.

    And then comes Sarah Palin. Sweet, sweet Sarah, who by being who she is, underscored every lie told by the left and lapped up by moderates for the last 40-odd years. A mother, with a career AND family, who still has children, and has managed to work outside the home and be successful. Who has very much retained her identity and character as a woman. A conservative, who proved that conservative principles work. A woman of faith, who did not abandon or compromise that faith when the world mocked her beliefs. And she did not abandon those beliefs when things got hard. She gave birth to a child that the world would have had her murder in the womb. She was the anti-Hillary, because she proved that a Mom could be successful and happy. (Of course, some conservatives are fully aware that the happy comes from her silly and irrational faith, so pay no attention to the Creator behind the heavenly veil, you moderates.) They had to destroy her. HAD TO. And yet for all the mud and feces they have flung, she is still here, looking them in the eye, and the only people they have swayed are the moderates, like the deep-thinking brain donor featured in the column that Rosetta cites. Conservatives understand that Palin is not perfect, but we understand that no one is perfect. We know that she isn’t the smartest person in the room, but we also know what has been wrought by the smartest people in the room when they have gotten into the seats of power, and it is not pretty. We know that unlike so many other people in politics, unlike lefties, unlike moderates, and sadly, unlike some who call themselves conservatives (yes, I’m looking at you, John McLame), she is genuine, and is guided by principles that will not serve her or us poorly.

    Because of this, I respect lefties more than I respect moderates. Lefties at least have the courage of their convictions. Moderates have polls and pundits to define who they are and what they believe from day to day. If they weren’t so corrosive to a good and free society, I would pity them in their weakness and mental flacidity.

    Well said and I agree 100%. I respect the liberal opinion because it can be arrived at through thought and analysis. I happen to believe it’s demonstrably wrong-headed thought and analysis but whatever. At least they have removed themselves from the fence.

    I think a lot of independents and moderates believe they are taking the intellectual high road by eschewing the labels of the left and the right. What they don’t appreciate is that in doing so they have adopted the label of the ignorant.

  42. “because it can be arrived at through thought and analysis.”

    WRONG.

    It’s arrived at through feelings and emotion. The most liberal people I know can’t argue politics without embarrassing themselves because it’s so emotional for them and can’t be defended with fact or statistics.

  43. I think liquor would be their only chance.

  44. Someone named Jeane asked this in the comments:

    “So if Palin runs against Obama , who are you going to vote for Jill?”

    Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! I have the feeling that the answer is no seeing how Palin is the devil incarnate and all.

    You can think Palin is the dumbest person alive if you want but I just don’t get the hatred for her. I know…she’s the living embodiment of liberal folly and all that but the number of people that hate her more than they hate terrorists is stunning to me.

  45. “because it can be arrived at through thought and analysis.”

    WRONG.

    I stand corrected. And don’t ever correct me in public again or I will be forced to discipline you.

  46. Could any of you people with children past the eighth grade have them take that geography test I linked above? Seriously. I’d like to know the results.

    The driver asks, “On average, how much is everyone giving?”

    “About a gallon.”

  49. BiW, how about an executive summary?

    Sorry, Brew. I know your poon hurts, but my youngest won’t let me borrow my crayons to give you the HIGHLIGHTS version. ;-)

  50. Jill is the type person who would infurtiate me during the 08 election. No clue at all about Sarah’s experience, but simply parroted what they were told by the media.

    Some even went so far as to say that Sarah should not be running for office and should be home taking care of her children, but had no problem with Obama running, even though he had two young children. That from working women whom I met while they were away from their children at conferences. I jus couldn’t get over the complete stupidity and hypocrisy of that mindst. One woman actually told me she disagreed with every single thing Obama and the Democrats stood for, but couldn’t vote for Palin.

    IMO, it was nothing but jealousy. Sarah was simply too attractive for these women to vote for her.

  51. That irrationality makes me crazy, Wiser.

    My bottom line on Palin was this, she was a conservative who could get things done.

  52. Could any of you people with children past the eighth grade have them take that geography test I linked above? Seriously. I’d like to know the results.

    That was cool, HS. I did it and got 48 out of 50 perfect, with my average miss being 6 miles. They gave me Nebraska before any of the surrounding states, which messed me up.

    It was not easy with a laptop touchpad either. If I had used a mouse, I’m sure I would have done better.

  53. I have an open house here today in about an hour.

    You cool cats and pups have fun and make me proud.

  54. That state thing is kick ass. My error was 43 miles but that was due to a mouse error that resulted in me putting Maryland in Saskatchewan.

  55. If Palin decides not to run for president, I think it would be nice if she took Michael Steele’s job.

  56. Jealousy? REALLY?

    I’d like some of the hot chix to chime in on this, because I’m blown away that this could be true.

    Are you broads really that shallow? If she had bad hair, teeth, fat legs, ugly wardrobe, and a cheating husband she would be a more viable candidate?

  57. And by ‘you broads’ I don’t mean any of you. Broads.

  58. Are you broads really that shallow? If she had bad hair, teeth, fat legs, ugly wardrobe, and a cheating husband she would be a more viable candidate?

    See: Rosa DeLauro, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, etc….

  59. Puppers, I could not believe the venom about Palin’s looks from the left (in particular the women). Most conservative women think she’s incredibly attractive and are pleased by that (as opposed to several dykie looking women on the left).

    I think there was a great deal of jealousy on the left because of her success, her hot husband (which, sluts that they are, cannot snag), a family and she’s a go-getter of the highest order.

    Okay, bye.

  60. Sarah does have that whole hawt librarian thing nailed, doesn’t she?

    Correct. Some people seem to think that there are only two types of women: hot, stupid, unaccomplished gold-diggers and homely successful career hags.

    I don’t get it.

  63. I could not believe the venom about Palin’s looks from the left

    Car in’s personal douchebag made some comment the other day at her place about how hideously ugly Sarah is. It’s really incredible.

    Meanwhile, I have to listen to how stunningly beautiful Michelle Obama is from the loony lefty I work with. She tried spinning that in the lunchroom last week, though, and every single guy in teh room laughed out loud at her.

    Gave me hope.

  64. Rosie, what’s really more telling about Jill’s article is that she’s demonstrably uninformed politically, she says as much, and yet she writes articles for a political website.

    I get it that a lot of people who call themselves “independents” really mean they’re just apolitical.

    I do not get it that the same people make some kind of living writing about politics.

  65. Oh, and go Colts!

    Wiser, my daughter saw a public service announcement with Michelle Obama and she could not believe how scary she looked in particular, “what the heck is wrong with her eyebrows?”

  66. 2 miles hotspur 440 seconds

  67. What’s funny is that as soon as Sarah hit the national stage, some adult film producer put out a film using a Sarah look alike.

    I don’t remember that happening with any Democrat woman…..

    But Sarah’s ugly…..

    Riiiiiiiight….

  68. did you say “eyebrows”, as in plural?

  69. I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics it takes to be a ‘progressive’.

    Ignore any and all evidence that doesn’t fit in with the ‘way it should be’ or ‘how I feel about it’.

    Bah.

  70. My sentence structure is more messed up than Michelle Obama’s eyebrows

  71. There is more to it that Rosetta. If Palin were ugly my mom would still hate her for knowing how to hunt and fish.

  72. Colts vs. ???

    You gots 50% D in T.

    How’s the spa temp?

  73. Some broads are that shallow.

    If she had bad hair, teeth, fat legs, ugly wardrobe, and a cheating husband she would be a more viable candidate?

    The pumas think so. But then they probably have bad hair, teeth, cankles, and cheating or no husbands, like their most favoritist candidate.

  74. what’s really more telling about Jill’s article is that she’s demonstrably uninformed politically, she says as much, and yet she writes articles for a political website.

    Bingo. She just publicly stated that she’s a completely uninformed idiot who is too lazy to make herself informed about the subject for which she is paid to be informed.

    She perfectly personifies the star-fucker, pseudo-intellectaul mindest of the average liberal. (See also: Keith Olbermann)

    If there were any justice, she would be back writing the gardening column for her local fishwrap by the end of this week.

  75. Rosie, what’s really more telling about Jill’s article is that she’s demonstrably uninformed politically, she says as much, and yet she writes articles for a political website.

    Hahahaha. I thought the same thing. I actually started reading that article looking for insight into the evolution of the independents thought process on Obama. Come to find out there is none.

    And then the irrational Palin bashing made me want to rip the author a new one.

    I would like to state for the record that I called her several variations of slut while writing the post but then decided against it.

  81. A woman who will not kick out her dawging husband, is a HUGE red flag for me. I would have had more respect for Hillary, if she kicked bubba in the nuts. Would have never voted for her, but it would give her more credibility.

I told her that I knew who I was gonna vote for in this election by about 1994, or at least what party I’d vote for. Her response was that she was for smaller govt and lower taxes, but she didn’t want anybody telling her that her daughter couldn’t get an abortion if she so desired. I asked her if she REALLY thought that one person sitting in the oval office could make that happen, and if so why hadn’t the conservative Christian Bush done it already. She said she just didn’t want to take that chance, which means she has no fucking clue has to how the three branches of govt work. The democrats have used the far right fringe of the Republican party and their MSM PR wing to stampede a shitload of conservative leaning people, through scare tactics, in to voting for their boys.

    Bour, if you can find in my post where I said anyone should sell their soul to a political party, I will clean your Mom’s basement.

  131. I don’t know whether it’s more irksome that independents won’t take stand, or that they’re completely clueless about how our electoral system works.

    Given that we build coalitions before the election and that each coalition has an easily accessible platform, one would think they would have an easy time deciding where they stand.

    I think most people who consistently call themselves independents are the same people who vote for a candidate because he has dreamy hair. If that’s the limit of their decision making process I’d prefer that they get distracted with a Peanut Buster Parfait and never make it to the polls.

    Hey, furball, shoot me an email at xbradtc real quick, will ya? there’s catnip in it for you.

  136. I’m registered independent too, tatts. Mainly so I can vote in the Dem primary to try and get the lesser evil elected here in MA.

  137. Pretty Ann C. said it this way: “You’re either a liberal or a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster.” and I have the talking action figure to prove it.

  138. >> And, I got really fucking tired of being hounded for $ by the Rs.

    I’ll call somebody. You need your money to live. That’s wrong of them.

  139. I s’pose there’s a difference if you’re talking little i as in comparing liberal/conservative/independent. I think I’d agree more w/ Rosie’s assessment if that’s the case. Now if you’re talking big I vs R or D, then Rosie can fuck off.

  140. Tat (and others) I don’t think the heartburn is so much with how people register, but rather someone who is so shallow in their appreciation of the way our government works, and with the political parties that they could vote for Obama, and then turn around and act surprised when he does dumb shit that he’s done his entire career.

  141. Of course, Rosie can just fuck off on general principles as well.

    Tats, I know there are liberals and conservatives that are registered as independents for a number of reasons other than the fact that they have no idea of which direction they lean.

    My screed is directed at the independents that don’t know with which side they identify.

  151. My pups, what a long tongue you have!

  152. I’m registered Independent so the GOP will work a little harder. Registering Republican is is asking to be bent over by the Party – they know they’ve got you.

    Plus, I figure it keeps the Dems guessing.

  154. I got you a present, but I eated it.

    Back when my daughter was 3 I took her out to do some birthday shopping for her mom. I asked her what she wanted to get her, and she said, “How about peanut butter? She really likes peanut butter!” When my wife opened up her present and found a jar of peanut butter, she burst into tears at the overwhelming cuteness of it.

    So now she gets a jar of peanut butter every year.

  155. Awww geoff, now I think I’m nauseated. Thanks.

  156. Let me get this straight.

    Some imbecilic lemming bint named Jill Dorson bought a bag full of Hope and Change seeds, planted them as directed, fertilized them religiously with copious amounts of delusion and irrationality, and now she’s surprised she’s harvesting a bumper crop of despair and pain?

  157. Damn, Patrick Swayze was hot!

    While I dread having to listen to the constant sucking of Brett’s cock should the Vike’s win, I also dread the non-stop stories about how Drew and the Saints are bringing hope back to the city of New Orleans, which is so badly in need of hope after Katrina.

    Can they both lose?

  168. Her response was that she was for smaller govt and lower taxes, but she didn’t want anybody telling her that her daughter couldn’t get an abortion if she so desired.

    Then maybe she should be parenting her daughter better on self-respect, birth control, where and what babies are…oh and civil rights. The degree of servitude some people are willing to settle with to protect the right to kill and suck out their offspring, boggles the mind. Seriously, how many abortion opportunities does she think her daughter will miss?

  339. And I’m right again.

  340. dead center.

    suWHEEEEEEETTTTTT!!!!!!!!

  341. SAINTS WIN!

    SAINTS WIN!

    SAINTS WIN!

    SAINTS WIN!

    SUCK IT FARVRE!

  342. Goodbye, Brett.

    (maybe)

  343. Dave, they were giving 4.

  344. Did they say he’s only had 11 FG attempts this year?

  345. Goodbye, Brett.

    (maybe)

    Hello…..Raiders……

  346. I think Indianapolis is thrilled with this outcome. Minnesota turned the ball over 5 times and took them to overtime? Colts by 27.

  347. @andylevy Good thing Favre originally came out of retirement cuz he didn’t want to end his career with an interception in the NFC Championship game.

  348. Thank you, PG.

  349. I really could watch another hour of this. Is it over?

  350. I hope NOPD is in mardi gras mode tonight.

  351. I got back from work just in time to see the Saints win. Since I live in LA now, that makes me happy. Good times.

  352. *** Rubs against Ms. Romy’s Leg ***

    Good Night Y’all…..

  353. Dave, did you watch Texas play basketball last night?

  354. So, was there a football game on or something?

  355. I like the makeover you did for Mare, Ember.

    http://tinyurl.com/yeqsckp

  356. So what was the total number of fumbles?

  357. No, didn’t see it, but I can tell you Texas ain’t gettin far this year.

  358. **pets Sox, scritches ears the way he likes**

  359. I’m watching the worst Huell Howser ever. Newberry Springs, CA. Small down on the edge of the Mojave.

    Nobody knows who he is, and what the hell he’s doing. And there’s nothing in the town. And they don’t have any interviews lined up. They’re just walking up to people.

  360. “I like the makeover you did for Mare, Ember.

    http://tinyurl.com/yeqsckp

    She looks so purty now.

  361. So what was the total number of fumbles?

    Are we still talking the football game or are we back on xbrad and jewstin’s camping trip?

  362. I’ve got some splody for you Romy, seeing as how Xbrad seems to be speaking in tongues.

    http://tinyurl.com/yk5bmzh

    Goodnight, don’t forget to tip your waitstaff.

  363. I’m watching the worst Huell Howser ever.

    That’s rough.

    “WOW!!!!! A TREE!!!! GOLLY!!!”

  364. So what was the total number of fumbles?
    Are we still talking the football game or are we back on xbrad and jewstin’s camping trip?

    Large number, either way.

  365. There was penetration.

  366. My next dream job is to do the voiceover for military stuff.

  367. That’s rough.

    “WOW!!!!! A TREE!!!! GOLLY!!!”

    It’s the Mojave.

    WOW!!!!!!! DIRT!!!!!!!!!!! GOLLY!!!

  368. My next dream job is to do the voiceover for military stuff.

    I’m pretty sure you don’t have the required soporific voice.

  369. It’s the Mojave.

    WOW!!!!!!! DIRT!!!!!!!!!!! GOLLY!!!

    Jesus, I can totally see that. I’m guessing that there’s a park ranger there who is just barely tolerating his retardation.

  370. wow. that was fast!

  371. the vikings video?

  372. How awesome for Packer fans to watch VIking fans get so massively disappointed by Brett!!!

  373. I’m pretty sure you don’t have the required soporific voice.

    Exactly. A little breathy Southern drawl, and sales could skyrocket.

  374. Sean, it’s fucking worse, they’re in a tiny crossroads town and just walking up to people’s houses.

    Look, Huell, you know why that guy with the wild hair and oddly lit eyes lives in the middle of Bumfuck, Nowhere? BECAUSE THEY ARE BUGSHIT CRAZY!! The first clue might have been all the accumulation of 100 years of junk in the front yard.

  375. the vikings video?

    yeah. that was pretty damn quick.

  376. I have a feeling Favre will retire, only to unretire in October and sign with the Seahawks

  377. I’m waiting for Bart and Millhouse to send Huell to the nuclear power plant.

  378. I have a feeling Favre will retire, only to unretire in October and sign with the Seahawks

    I think the 12th Man would be pissed. They really like Hasslebeck here.

  379. I have a feeling Favre will retire, only to unretire in October and sign with the Seahawks

    Yaknow, as stupid as this sounds, any team that signs Favre immediately gets massive publicity and air time on ESPN, et al.

    Not a bad idea, financially.

  380. Those crazy Brits …

    http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpps/news/dpgo-man-ok-after-penis-gets-stuck-in-pipe-lwf-20100108_5486325?obref=obinsite

    They didn’t give the diameter of the pipe. Looked like one inch to me. Probably 2.5cm though.

  381. Brett’s next move http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDthMGtZKa4

  382. My next dream job is to do the voiceover for military stuff.

    Heh. I’ve always thought it would be fun to do voice-over stuff. I think I have a reasonably nice voice. On the other hand, I sound far too nice to do military commercials.

  383. That was as exciting as watching a Rosie O’Donnell sex tape.

  384. Leather jacket. In the water. WTF?

  385. Why don’t cows shrink when it rains?

  386. We’ve had enough rain, I’m surprised the trees haven’t rotted in place.

  387. RFH is younger than 40.

  388. ScottW – Did you get some rest this weekend?

  389. Leather jacket. In the water. WTF?

    What’s really funny about the whole “jumped the shark” concept is that everyone stopped watching that show when Sticks joined the cast.

    But I guess “jumping the negro” is racist.

  390. Nope, 42. And yes, I watched Happy Days. I just don’t understand why anyone involved with that thought it was a good idea.

  391. That may have been the stupidest 2:17 ever put on film. I say that not having seen the rest of the episode for context.

  392. I say that not having seen the rest of the episode for context.

    Yeah, that would have made it better…

  393. Amazing how Milwaukee looks just like So. Cal. !?!?!?!?!!

  394. ScottW – Did you get some rest this weekend?

    He didn’t hardly sleep Friday night, woke up dragged out. He didn’t go to work Saturday and I was pleased with that. I went in to the store thinking he would catch up on rest during the day.

    Then he called me about an hour later and told me he was turning the spare room downstairs into a man room for himself.

    When I got home at 1:30, the 25 or so amaryllis bulbs I had been overwintering in that cold room had been moved to the basement and the heat turned back on.
    My exercise bike was pushed back sideways to the wall, and there was a newer TV (ripped off from our upstairs bedroom) sitting on the big old console. All the video game stuff was hooked up, and some old teak coffee tables and the old green chair were moved in.

    This is how he rests.

  395. Well, now he has a PLACE to rest. If you’ll leave him alone.

  396. This is how he rests.

    *snort

    Sounds like I need to take a few days off and help scott “recuperate”

  397. LauraW – With all of that “Fat cat banker” money Rosie is raking in, you mean to tell me he didn’t send Scott a new 55″ LCD for his recovery????

  398. Well, now he has a PLACE to rest. If you’ll leave him alone.

  408. PG – Christina Hendricks

  409. Anyone here other than Chief following the Ellie Light astroturfing? Bets as to how long until the MSM pick up the story?

  410. I’ve been watching it, Romy.

    They won’t touch it. Hell, they never even covered the Cass Sunstein story, where he’s hiring people for the white house to astroturf on blogs and such.

  411. I’ve been watching the Ellie Light story and the fellows at Hillbuzz. Sadly, I don’t pay any attention to legacy media so I can’t play.

  412. I’m going to keep posting Ellie Light stories on FaceChimp and hope that others start posting them too.

  413. Ellie might be a singleton. You’d think Axelrod’s toadies would be a little smarter than to use just one name.

  414. My thought is that Ellie is a number of people given a script and a name to use for mailing. I don’t think it’s one single person, at least not one sending the submissions. The guiding idea almost certainly comes from a central place.

  415. There’s more, XBrad. See Patterico:

    http://tinyurl.com/ylx23jj

    Trouble is, they used the same letters, word for word.

  416. Damn zombies taking over. **chambers round in shotgun**

  417. Yeah, I guess there is a coordination somewhere. I think what decided that for me was that they were hitting newspapers that NO one has heard of. They have to be pulling addresses from a database somewhere.

  418. or you send out the script to your “Organize for America” zombies in every town and hamlet and have them e-mail Ellie’s letter.

  419. I hate to sound like a conspiracy guy, because I’m certainly not, but I find it extraordinarily hard to believe that one person has written this letter multiple times and maintained their record of residence for the sake of the editor.

    I guess this is a top down effort, but I won’t even pretend to know who is the top. It could well be a Kos kid with some extra time on his hands.

  420. Jewstin, I guess what I was saying was more along your lines. Not really one person, but maybe run by some PAC, KOS kid, or something. Probably, but not neccasarily. I doubt it is running out of the White House.

  421. Where the heck is everyone?

    Won’t someone bring me some whiskey?

  422. You’re so sweet, you’re so fine. . .

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5m8w2VK79k

  423. We’re copacetic Xbrad. I doubt it can be traced to the White House, but Ellie has a patient zero source.

  424. *gives Xbrad whiskey* Sorry, playing Borderlands. Only half paying attention.

  425. Sky, I’m worried that you are letting all the time you spend with your family and games is cutting into your Hostages time.

    **plans intervention**

  426. Goodnight. . . . . . . .

  427. Happy sleeping, MCPO. I think it’s time I hit the sack too.

  428. I know. Stupid family, thinking they’re more important than Hostages. I’ll have a talk with them.

  429. Just you and me, Xbrad.

  430. Just you and me, Xbrad.

    WOOHOO!!!!

    You know what that means don’t you?

    I don’t have to share whiskey with anyone.

  431. Unless my favorite stalker shows up, this whiskey is all yours.

  432. Hey, Palin Haters….GIVE IT A FRICKEN REST!

    She’s a self made success, a volunteer, someone who cared enough to get involved, hard working, a wife, a mother, a former governor and if you are honest enough to look at her working history, someone who gets things done.

    Other than you disagree with her political policies, why do you hate her?

    Yeah, it’s old, assholes, don’t bother telling me that. I’m the one who linked it originally. But this piece comes from a female liberal. If she can think it through so can you. If you are a liberal troll, please read this. Then let’s talk.

    Hello.

  435. **sniff, sniff**

    What stinks?

    Ohai, Sean.

  436. *hands whiskey to Sean* Hello!

  437. Sweet Dreams, Hostages!

    You’re good people. Every one of you.

  438. *gulps whiskey*

    Thanks, Ember. Are you happy that The Saints are marching in to the Superbowl?

  439. Sweet Dreams, Hostages!

    You’re good people. Every one of you.

    Goodnight Mare, but lying makes the Baby Jesuses cry.

  440. I’m actually a Raiders fan, but, living in Louisiana now, I think I’m morally obligated to be happy about the Saints, so, yes.

  441. You’re good people. Every one of you.

    Mare’s drunk again.

  442. Actually, I’m not drinking.

    Sweet dreams, assholes!

  443. I’m actually a Raiders fan

    *does spit take*

    I’m gonna pretend like I didn’t hear that.

  444. Mare’s talking to you again, Sean.

  445. Well, Sean, even I’m not perfect.

  446. Nobody said you were perfect, but I didn’t figure that you had a lengthy rap sheet.

    Are those prison tats?

  447. No, I make up for being a Raiders fan by liking the finer sports teams in life, like the Yankees.

    Really, I just have terrible taste in sports teams.

  448. “Are those prison tats?”

    No prison ink looks anywhere near this good, babe.

  449. Really, I just have terrible taste in sports teams.

    I know you just mentioned the Yankees (and, hey, who can argue with success?) but if you say anything positive about the fucking Red Sox, I may have to vacate your bushes for good.

  450. Well, Sean, even I’m not perfect.

    It’s like my whole world is crumbling before my eyes.

  451. … I’m a Yankees fan. The Sox can fuck themselves with a rusty steel dildo.

  452. Don’t worry, xbrad, as far as I know, the only way in which I’m not perfect is the whole Raiders-fan thing.

  453. … I’m a Yankees fan. The Sox can fuck themselves with a rusty steel dildo.

    Fine.

    (Though I’m slightly disappointed that you didn’t include any bobwire or broken glass.)

  454. I was going to include chainsaw, but its late and I wasn’t thinking straight.

  455. *pours Val-U-Rite vodka and leaves it on porch next to chainsaw*

    *rings doorbell*

  456. I was kinda hoping Sean would accidentally lop off his head with that chainsaw.

  457. My two favorite things. Val-U-Rite and a chainsaw.

  458. My two favorite things. Val-U-Rite and a chainsaw.

  459. “*returns expensive corset*

    (Just kidding! I never bought the expensive corset in the first place.)”

    You know, my birfday is coming up. (Kidding. But oh, that corset.)

  460. You did manage to get Paypal to take your money last night, didn’t you?

  461. Finally, yes. That pretty little ivory and gold corset is officially purchased.

  462. I also have good news. I purchased some new socks at Target today!

  463. Hooray for socks!

  464. Well, I’m calling it a night. I have to be to work in 7 hours. Have a good night, boys.

  465. G’nite, Ember. I hope tomorrow doesn’t suck.

  466. I also have good news. I purchased some new socks at Target today!

    Way to chase everybody off SeaNm. I can only guess how bad it would have been if you told us you get your Underwear at K-Mart.

  467. Finally, yes. That pretty little ivory and gold corset is officially purchased

    Propaganda.

  473. More links at my joint. To the source – Muffled Oar.

  474. I sent the Cdr. Salamander link from yesterday to a friend who has over 2,000 jumps. He said he would love to be a tandem master with that group. He also reminisced fondly about jumps off the tailgate of a C-141.

  475. I hate you all so very much.

    I’ve been up since 6:30. Took my son to school. Completely searched teh web. Did laundry. cleaned the kitchen. Made some cabbage soup.

  481. I’M ON IT!

  482. Wow. I ask for Girls Gone Wild and I get The Real Housewives of Hostage County.

  483. Carin, you have entirely too much energy. You make me feel like a slug.

    I want you to have a beer and take a nap.

  484. Mornin’.

    Roamy, you have a pretty name.

  485. Made some cabbage soup.

    You made cabbage soup before 8:30 in the morning? You are a denizen of hell, aren’t you?

  486. Cabbage soup? Where do you live? Krakow, 1939?

  487. My favorite homemade chicken soup is made with shredded cabbage. Makes the broth sweet and it’s low carb.

    *smothers feeble old poat with a pillow*

  488. cabbage is very good for you. And it’s yummy.

    So STFU.

  489. Carin, you have entirely too much energy. You make me feel like a slug.

  492. NEW POAT IS READY!!!

  493. I got nuthin. I just wanted this sorry ass muthafuckin poat to get 500 comments. And a muriatic acid enema.

  494. I assUme at least one of them 500 comments is about independents who think republicans are way too stinking liberal. As long as they tolerate dildos like Newt I will fart in their general direction.
