Seems to me that the easiest path to wingnut welfare in the journalism field is to get a job at a legitimate outlet and write something so lazy and racist that you get fired. The WSJ likes you to have at least one incident like that on your resume.

Seriously, if Lassetter is avoiding anyone, it’s almost certainly the weirdo Breitbart cultists who are following him around.

My cousin is an attorney, and one of the things she does for extra money is track down people who skip bail for bounty hunters to pick up and pay her a finder’s fee. She says it usually takes less than an hour, and it’s almost always on Facebook.

I would have guessed Emo Phillips, but that’s just me.

New around here? TBogg’s real name has never been a secret, although stupid people have occasionally thought it might be. This has a pretty long history, here’s one from 2006: http://tbogg.blogspot.com/2006/08/very-passive-aggressive-outing-blogger.html

My ‘Free Mumia’ T-Shirt is getting pretty worn out. Mind if I borrow your comment as a substitute?

KrisAin and MailersGhost’s posts show why Savage’s post if the right one. Fundamentalists will brook no opposition to their viewpoints, and someone who stated the obvious in public is treated as a villain. We need to stop walking on eggshells to not hurt the delicate fee fees of the people who want to make loving who you want to love illegal. Keep confronting them directly until they stop trying to shut you up.

I actually usually refer to Breitbart as Dimbart, but Deadbart also works. I guess he’s now a Deadbart dad.

I wonder why they poisoned the guy in the coroner’s office? Was the heart attack gun out of ammo?

This heart attack gun … kills fascists.

Apologies to Woodie Guthrie.

The real heart attack gun is the double gutbuster burger at the fast food place. And I’m pretty sure Andrew got shot with it pretty often.

Overweight rageaholic dies of a heart attack in early 40s … not particularly remarkable. You know what would be really cool? A health system where people could be checked for health conditions and given advice by doctors on what kind of things they can do to improve their overall health.

Congratulations Tom. I was there for the early days on Table Talk, and I remember some of the ‘reasonable’ concern trolls you used to take to school. I’d like to say you’ve evolved over the years, but you’re still the same snarky bastard you were back then. Only funnier. Cheers!

Unfortunately, the right has been refining their techniques for spreading lies and false doubt about science for at least 30 years with the Creationism hoax. They’ve just transferred the lessons to a new area of inquiry and are taking advantage of scientists and other people who are used to dealing with colleagues who are honest and act in good faith.

OK, I read what Glieck did. He used an assumed name to acquire the Heartland Institute newsletter. Big whoop. By that standard, I’m history’s worst monster, since I don’t use my real name to subscribe to lots of internet mailing list.

Oh look, mail for Heywood Jablomie.

He shouldn’t have apologized. He’s trying to be hyper ethical, but he’s simply providing ammunition for the pearl clutchers.

Of course, ‘climategate’ would not have existed except for the fact that the global warming deniers hacked the climate institute’s email server and stole thousands of personal emails from scientists to comb through and selectively post out of context quotes which indicated that scientists were indeed human.

The use of deception to get suspects to reveal what they know is a technique often used by investigators, and the police do it all of the time. It may be on the edge of unethical, but it’s in no way illegal, unlike hacking into a computer network, which is clearly criminal.

Well, it’s only two guys instead of 4. I can see the meeting with the doctor.

“Well, I have good news and bad news. The human centipede reversal procedure was only partially successful. But we found this really kicky zebra costume for you to wear.”

I found this image strangely hypnotic. Kind of the anti-Shakira.

The day mighty Tebow … struck out.

This just in. Hellmouth opens under Denver stadium. Demons pour out.

OK, Pats are ahead by 18 with 4:10 left. Tebow and Jesus have them just where they want them.
