FlipYrWhig commented on the blog post Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it.
It seems no one ever explained to Jonah that Ron Paul was the Legalize It candidate, and he just assumed that Paulista passion was predicated on the gold standard and Austrian economics.

I remember this “too ham handed and provocative to be a real memo” defense being trotted out when someone found a badly written statement on the political advantages of the Terri Schiavo case for Republicans. The conservative blogosphere cried forgery then too. They were wrong; their staffers and true believers really are that zealous. A look back: Counsel to GOP Senator Wrote Memo on Schiavo (WaPo).

Strangely, I don’t recall a parallel hue and cry from Teh Korner about grave breaches of American freedoms when ACORN got a ton of bad publicity and backlash.

Selling at 72% off means selling at 28% of the original price. Perhaps a quiet tribute to the crazification factor…

When you have a tendency to overestimate or underestimate numbers by factors of 10, 100, or more, proper pricing could well seem like a divine mystery.

They represented the uniqueness and greatness of America — each one different and special in its own way, but collectively they blended in harmony.
Doesn’t this kind of suggest an image of eating a big handful of jellybeans all at once? Otherwise they wouldn’t collectively blend into anything. Does anyone do that?

Name three things that are dense, round, and useless.

In 2028, Sarah won’t have any fans left. All her fans today are the teabagger geriatrics
So Palin 2028 would be kind of like Angie Dickinson now?

FlipYrWhig commented on the blog post Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have. – Hebrews 13:5
Aren’t conservatives supposed to be the entrepreneurial party? If you can’t spend your way out of debt, how would a small-business loan ever work? For that matter, how would a college loan ever work?
How would a home mortgage ever work?(Um, scratch that one now.)Yes, it really is true, sometimes you can borrow money, even while in debt, in order to parlay that money into _more_ money, after which point you pay down your debt. This happens every day in America and no one seems terribly perturbed by it. And yet conservatives go screaming blue bonkers when the government attempts it. Peculiar.

Lee Siegel called. He wants his critique of “blogofascism” back, and for you to meet him in 2006.
