A Perfect Device

Nothing could be more wonderful, except I’m waiting for some perv to stick their wiener in it.

Seriously, this thing worked and it will save the rain forest. This should catch on the way Segway didn’t. I cannot possible stress this to a greater extent.

ON THE ROAD

Posting will be as intermittent and half-assed as usual, except we have the cammie cam, and the computator. Thus, content may or may not ensue. Nobody cares anyway.

Let me start something stupid and idiotic, and see where we go from there:

Your choices:

Holy Guacamole!

-Avocado

or

To the batmobile:

Adam West

etc.

or

Sarah Palin’s voice is so grating ____

or

Thank Goodness

The Nutter brings some Nutter Butter to the WaPo:

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

The Washington Post’s Richard Cohen wrote that McCain choosing her was like Caligula sending his horse to the Roman Senate. This morning, I went to the WaPo and sent him an email, listing my name as Caligula and contact as Caligula@aol.com. Only four words:

Some fucking horse, dickhead.

Wow, did that feel good.

Looks like Newsbusters is driving this train. Seems like analogies are tough for the N. Butter crowd. Here’ some Newsbusters:

Imagine the outrage in feminist circles if a conservative columnist had mockingly analogized a sitting Dem governor to an animal. But Richard Cohen has said as much of Sarah Palin. And I predict you won’t hear a peep from the Kim Gandys or Naomi Wolffs of the world—much less from their allies in the MSM.

So this is a free pass on McCain as Caligula? Does Finkelstein think Caliggy was a good guy? I suspect it is a rhetorical trap to create some Obama:unnamed animal equivalency.

quelle surprise!

How to Parse, How to be Precise

Published by Pinko Punko on September 2, 2008 in Serious Pants. 12 Comments

Issues of note in this Daily Howler:

A) When somebody is lying, they might be lying in several different ways, wouldn’t it be helpful to identify just how many? Magnitude of the lie is important.

B) The troubling nature if Insider’s Insiders. In addition to their stated agendae, they will always have one of self-service and survival of the status quo. This is exemplified by the oily, unctuous Steve Clemons. I had fallen under that spell of legitimacy at one point. Now I must disabuse myself of notions that this person is an honest actor.

C) The unsettling nature of odd fellow travelers. At what point does one do oneself no favors in altering the execrable system by quoting a weather gauge such as Andrew Sullivan? If there is nothing an insider can do other than lose or gain legitimacy by merely disagreeing or agreeing with you, what reward is there for being anything but an absolute hack with a decent mental thesaurus?

In short, no matter what, we will continue to eat it.
