• Oh, look! Someone’s putting that Poly Sci 110 “Survey of 18th and 19th Century European Political Movements”.
    It’s a shame they couldn’t tie it in to the French Revolution. THAT would have been impressive.

  • “Combat” journalism…
    They keep using that word. I don’t think it means what they think it means.

    Considering the sizes of the back yards I’ve seen in my wife’s family’s various places in San Diego–generally on the smallish side, which is to say “slightly larger than a medium area rug,” couldn’t you take them out there and corner them for a picture, or do you not have a back yard?

    Soonergrunt may be cleverly referring to the fact that “Alexandre Dumas” is itself a pseudonym, or rather the nom-de-plume of the fella born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie. N’est ce pas, Sooner?

    Yeah, sure. Let’s run with that.

    Man, you have ALL the cool shit going on in San Diego.
    Comic-con, beaches, great museums, wonderful weather, excellent food, a world class zoo, a great air show, Sea World, and on and on and on, and now this, too.
    Why can’t you people leave something for us out here in the Heartland(tm)?

    When I was a kid growing up in rural Wyoming, we all learned how to spot rabid animals quickly and put as much distance between you and them by slowly backing away. Hadn’t used that skill in years. I just involuntarily backed out of my home office and all the way into the kitchen. But hey, brownies!

    You need to be careful Tbogg. Chris Muir might come and whine in a thread here.
    And how would you feel then, huh?
    Pretty bad, I’ll bet.

    They use the pretension mask the social handicap. They don’t get laid either way, but at least they feel better about themselves.

    they all redirect to Breitbart.com, and it looks like a news aggregator, circa 1998.

    I just received a visit from conservative “comic artist” Chris Muir in my latest thread over at Balloon-Juice noting the site redesign.
    He has a sad that people are saying mean things about Andrew Breitbart, who is still dead, BTW, and laments to John Cole,

    Whatever our politics, to see your site devolving over the years, to postings under your aegis such as this…

    Well, I feel chastised. Or I would, if Chris Muir were somebody who mattered at all.

    You know, after the image at the top of this post, I must reiterate my call for more of Shakira’s ass from the last thread. I DID give you another answer that would’ve worked, had you needed it. And while I was only kidding in the last thread about more Shakira’s ass then, I am not kidding now.
    Please, after the damage you’ve inflicted with the two inverted highway cones coated in cottage cheese and topped with a worn Army PT shirt, if you won’t do it for me, do it for the children. More Shakira’s ass.

    I was going to suggest reformatting the USB drive in the Windows computer, which would’ve then removed the hidden trash folder from the drive root.
    So, you could maybe give us a little more Shakira’s Ass?

    Komen caved. PP gets their money from Komen. PP gets even more money from people like me. The wingnuts don’t get their victory, and so won’t donate money to Komen.
    So that’s a great start to the weekend.

    Shameless name dropper.
    I don’t know about this 1Q84 book, but I just finished reading Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose.
    It was right at 600 pages. A little slow at times, but a fantastic read.
    I saw the movie some time ago, and thought it decent enough when I remembered it the other day and got the book from the library.
    Yes, we have libraries in Oklahoma. No, it wasn’t crowded, and you’re welcome for the set-up…

  • I don’t know whether it’s a matter of stupidity or hypocrisy. You make the call!

    Those two choices are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they seem to run together, especially in teabaggers.
    My main problem with Thiessen and others of his ilk is that they never themselves ever deal with the real world repercussions of their acts and pronouncements. They get my friends killed and maimed, people like me slandered, and the worst they ever deal with is that somebody on a blog says something snarky about them.

    Bring on the meteor.
