Do you notice anything about the picture of Obama that's on Drudge right now?



I know the impression it made on me. I showed it to my tablemate and, without any prompting, he said exactly what I had thought.

Artists in medieval times would paint portraits of living saints with a squared halo, whereas dead saints received a circular halo.

@Jeremy:

She may yet turn up ok . . .

Ritmo Re-Animated said...

Do you actually understand the meaning of the term "freak out", Machos? It wouldn't appear so. I asked you to do something very simple. I asked you to state what didn't make sense to you. For most people, this isn't difficult. Maybe a point of grammar, a specific word, the definition or context of something escaped you... not too difficult. So please don't say that I'm "freaking out" just because I exposed your disingenuous and shallow riposte for what it was. It only furthers my psychosis and threatens my weak grasp of reality.

Your weak grasp of reality, OTOH, would not seem to be further compromised by such nonsensical things. Maybe they come more naturally to you.

Jen said...

Seven:

I gave you a book to read already.

Unknown said...

Hmm, Seven, I think I've changed my mind. Maybe I should rescind my previous admonition to give up on these chaps.

I remember going to the Monterey Grand Prix once and watching a wreck unfold right in front of where I sat. There was a unique thrill about it, not in magnitude but certainly in type. Reading MUL's responses is kind of a dim replay.

Ritmo Re-Animated said...

"P.S. If I may venture a prediction, here comes the part where Montana drives home his contention that he is much smarter than the rest of his rubes. I expect to see various degrees rolled out, and books read."

Please, Mr Machos! I beg of you not to use such constructions as "If I may venture a prediction", especially when you prepare to put me down for my knowledge, etc. It makes the shallow ego hiding inside my highly educated mind shudder at the thought that you really are smarter than me!

Actually, it's just a way to talk so that you make yourself sound smart. Which is pretty ironic, considering your approach.

Again, no one's accusing you of making any sense.

Can I go to sleep now? Some of actually like to be awake on Friday nights. Of course, if I also wore a face mask, my sociability on non-school nights might not be at stake either - if you know what I mean.

Anonymous said...

The part from the first word to the part at the last word did not make sense. This is why I told you that your post did not make sense.

I am not going to explain to you what parts of what you wrote are nonsensical. This is for the teachers at your local community college.

I am sorry you are so upset that you don't make any sense. Travis Bickle felt the same way. Perhaps that can be some solace.

Why do you hate America?

Why do you denigrate our President?

Why would anybody care what another wingnut thinks?

Fuck off.
And yet you care enough to spend literally hours on Althouse's blog trying to get that LAST WORD IN in a roundabout game of insult tag that neither you nor your opponents can ever, ever win.

I mean, what you're trying to do, Jeremy, is the blogging comment equivalent of arguing out the true meaning of Rashomon. This shit can literally go on forever.

Jesus wept. He did. It's in the Bible!

Trust me on this, Jeremy, if you trust me on nothing else-what Patrick J. Buchanan said after Cheney's speech today hit the mark. The reaction of the Left today told him one thing: "Cheney's speech worked".

You do know that MoveOn.org actually pays some clown to keep track of Althouse, once in a while, don't you? I mean, in case she says the "N" word on one of her Blogginheads appearances or does an Imus Brainfart with a bunch of girl basketball players in Madison or something. I think that MoveOn actually believes that Ann is, aside from being somewhat conservative, a covert member of the Wisconsin Nazi Party (it's the Master Race Hair Coloring...) and they're out to prove it.

You're not that clown, are you?

Just thought I'd ask.

Ritmo Re-Animated said...

Ok, Machos. I get it. You're just trying to get back at me because you thought you had a point about organic food months (years?) back that I didn't respond to and you took insult to that perceived slight.

Given the amount of time you devote to this online garbage with Annie, and the fact that your avatar is of a ski mask, I really don't you're in the best position to compare me to Travis Bickle.

And I await evidence of your erudition.

As Dieter would say, your story has become quite tiresome.

Almost Ali said...

PRAGUE (AP) - The prime minister of the Czech Republic says it could have been his taste for the rock group AC/DC — not his study of economics — that inspired him to describe President Barack Obama's nearly $2 trillion economic plan as "the road to hell." -- http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29923316/

Ritmo Re-Animated said...

"If you can't make it clear, it's a safe bet that you don't really have one."

Bullshit. Two people (Or at least that's the claim). I can safely say that the majority of the comments on Crooks and Liars don't make sense to you either, even though they are closer to reflecting sentiments embraced by the majority of the American people than yours are. You make statements that can only be endorsed by an extreme minority of the country, and yet you assume that MY statements lack a point?

Good God, Ski Mask Avatar. You are a stupid one.

True, but keep in mind, most of them always have one hand in their pants.

Of course, Ski Mask Avatar will just claim that he didn't understand what I just said - and pretend that's a meaningful response.

Anyways, I'm off... but first this:

"It's just a jerk circle Jeremy.

And they are all armed."

That's funny.

I think the jump to label any two people as sock puppets relates to this assumption they have that everyone thinks like they do. At most, only one person (and certainly not a majority of the country) can disagree. If a second comes along, that person must be an imposter. As I said, narcissistic groupthink.

Anonymous said...

I don't assume that your statements lack a point, Montana. I'm telling that your statements have no point. This is either because you cannot write well or because you have no point to make, and obfuscate your lack of a point in words. Possibly both.

I suggest a career in something that does not require communication to other people. I also suggest that you don't spend a lot of time on blogs, as it is time wasted. After all, why write unless it is to communicate? Which you obviously cannot do.

But, anyway, tell me about my fame. Should I google myself?

Jeremy said...

And God knows..Americans are certainly following everything the the prime minister of the Czech Republic has to say.

I personally don't make a move until I know what the prime minister of the Czech Republic says.

Not really.

what happens to a person's citizenship when their country goes away.

Sure! You don't mean it vanishes into an alternate universe, right? I assume some other country takes over. I once worked with a guy who was born Austrian, then became successively Polish and German, than finally Ukrainian, without ever moving from his hometown.

Well, we have heard rumors...

Ritmo Re-Animated said...

And who are you to tell me such a thing? You sound like a puny, little dipshit who IRL has nothing of any consequence to say to anyone. People much smarter and more accomplished than you have told me things about what I've written that are much more complimentary (and genuine) than what you've said, so what do I care? I don't even take this intertubes junk seriously; it's just a way to be creative, and get ideas out there, and discuss different points of view (which is something you're incapable of). To play around. It's not about recreating stock sentences and rote thoughts that simply conform to Strunk and White, or whatever other misapprehension you have. So don't think you're really making a substantive criticism (which wasn't your point anyway) by complaining about how my writing is above your intelligence level. And if you think you're such a good writer, you could learn how to make a fucking point. Here's a hint: Don't just repeat the same damn assertion over and over again. Repeating something doesn't make it true or reasonable.

You have an Althouse tag, right? If not, then perhaps I overestimated what would constitute your own importance in even your own eyes!

Jeremy said...

AJ - What exactly is a "deutschbag?"

Donn said...

Michael/Lucky/Jeremy has single handily ruined this site...and now his sock puppet Jen has joined in to compound the problem. Personally, I hold Althouse responsible for allowing this to happen.

Oh, and Machos, Dear! You shouldn't complain about others' "communication skills" when you make retarded particles of nonsense like this:

"You'd think such a person would me worldly -- be able to put a picture and a name together."

See, unlike you, I can actually critique your garbage. You use an adverb, "worldly" which does not have a clause, adjective or verb to modify. It's feeling a little lonely. You also use a verb modifier, "would", that lacks any verb to modify. I understand these are just basic articles of grammar, but I heard that such things are important to being understood and conveying impressive communication skills. But what do I know? I (unlike you?) never went to a community college.

Almost Ali said...

In Europe, Obama's economic plan went over like a lead balloon. A flying jive turkey.

And Mirek Topolanek's remarks were not simply an isolated echo, but an affirmation of Merkel's assessment.

Besides, what European country could possibly take Obama seriously when he's represented by a buffoon like Joe Biden.

I think Althouse needs to be more circumspect about her love of free speech, too. At the very least, sock puppetry and fraudulent appropriation of someone's name should be grounds for dismissal. (Yes, Michael stole my name once.) It's her salon, though.

And I want to say, by the way, that our brilliant friend Montana is in no way a troll. I don't think you should be asked to leave just because you can't write coherently. It has to be much, much, much more than that.

Ritmo Re-Animated said...

"My new policy is I don't discuss politics with anyone who is less informed or unpersuadable."

Nice point -- made by someone who has made no attempt at any point whatsoever, who has never attempted to persuade anyone of anything (who didn't already agree with him), and who has not made any attempt to see how informed his fickle interlocutor really is.

But then again, he also said this:

Ritmo Re-Animated said...

Oh, a typo, you say! (And yes, typos are no big deal on blog comments. But most of them don't lead to complete incoherence.)

So let's try decipher the only feasible construction of your "corrected" sentence.

"You'd think such a person would be worldly -- be able to put a picture and a name together."

What does being worldly have to do with putting a picture and a name together? Do world travelers excel at charades or something? Do they communicate in hieroglyphics? No! I seriously want to know what sort of coherent thoughts lurk deep underneath your strange and mysterious sentence, Mr Machos!

Really, I do. Sort of.

Too funny. But you go on being brilliant. Shine on.

Almost Ali said...

Well, good, Jeremy.

I think we can also agree that we'd all be better served if Obama spent the rest of his term playing on Air Force One.

But I don't think he should race Mother Self-Superior Pelosi back and forth to the west coast. You know, fuel and all that.

Did the Nuggets win? If so, I am elated.

I argued a few months ago that Carmelo Anthony is an elite player to a group of people who disagreed. I am waiting for the Finals to bring it up again. Go Nuggets! George Karl deserves it. And I have always despised the Lakers, for no good or logical reason.

Ritmo Re-Animated said...

"worldly is an adjective, as defined by both the Merriam-Webster and Oxford dictionaries."

Yes. A distinction without a difference as it still didn't modify anything or make the sentence coherent.

But Machos got his point in.

It's been said before, but I'll say it again. If all these horrible people are horribly ruining your favorite blog, why do you spend 300+ comments arguing with them? This is obviously a useful exercise for you in some way, or you wouldn't be spending hour after hour after hour after hour talking to/at them. Fighting with people, over the Internet, is clearly your thing. Embrace it.

I took a break from this blog because the fighting, particularly when I was involved in it, made absolutely no sense. When all is said and done though, this is a fighting blog, an angry blog even, especially when there's a political post. However, if you avoid the political posts and avoid the trolls and the regular assholes, this is a nice place.

You really need to learn how to be more concise, and you might consider taking advantage of Spell Check.

As to the bad driving out the good, I've always been of the belief that blogs and their commentary sections are not designed to accommodate one viewpoint, but many.

/ignore Obama Brownshirt Trolls

I just wish we were discussing something more important.


Here's one: The Speaker of the House was misled. Again.

Feb 6th, Noonan: One senses in a new way the disaster that is Nancy Pelosi. She was all right as leader of the opposition in the Bush era, opposition being joyful and she being by nature chipper. She is tough, experienced, and of course only two years ago she was a breakthrough figure, the first female speaker. But her public comments are often quite mad—we're losing 500 million jobs a month; here's some fresh insight on Catholic doctrine—and in a crisis demanding of creativity, depth and the long view, she seems more than ever a mere ward heeler, a hack, a pol. She's not big enough for the age, is she? She's not up to it.


Pelosi: Bush misled me.

Pelosi: The CIA misled me.

Pelosi: Ahmadinejad misled me.

Jeremey - the instant you said you don't "give a flying fuck what people think of you" you alienated all the moderates on this board. "

Naw, he alienated us long before that, many months ago.

Like how the grey tint of the TOTUS makes Obama look even blacker, thereby scaring his ordinary white grandmother even more, as she clutches her purse and hits the lock switch on the car door.
