*cough* Uh..(ptui!) this is a joke, right? (poll)

So somebody sent me a link.
Please, someone, tell me this is a joke.
Let me off the hook below the fold.

Please, someone tell me this is a joke. I want to go to sleep. I want to jump my wife's bones and forget things.
Somebody please tell me that after all this bullshit, no one expects me to take something like this seriously enough that someone would be paid to write it.
Lie if you have to. I just don't want to really confront this until I'm sober.
Come on, it's all in good fun until someone loses an eye.
It's a joke, right?
Please?

        That is the only thing left to the 29 percenters ... the dream that there is a method to BushCo's madness, that decades from now it will all have made sense. Bush is so far out there that they're trying to paint him as some sort of visionary, when really he belongs in the insane asylum (or rehab facility). This is delusional thinking, a letter from Bizarro-Land. No one in the increasingly large reality-based community will buy this.

  Novak says right in the second paragraph that he hears voices.

  by Friend of the court on Sat May 27, 2006 at 07:20:22 PM PDT

  •  He's not the only one hearing voices

    Asked about Mr Rumsfeld at a news conference, Mr Bush said he had "strong confidence" in his defence secretary.

    "I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation," he said.

    "But I'm the decider and I decide what's best."

  I'll give it a try.

  In this world, there are stupid people.  And there are unprincipled people.  And there are self-interested people.  And there are people who lie.  And there are people who don't care about others.  And there are people who have profoundly broken moral compasses.

  And then there are people of whom several of those things are true, or even all of them.  You've had the unfortunate experience of coming across something by one of them.  I suggest that you detox by reading some of the recommended diaries and front-page stories here.

          I'm not one to use the word "hate" much.  I try not to harbor hatred since it's such a caustic emotion.  Well, that and the whole Biblical admonition against it.

          Every time he talks about his "faith" I want to puke.  In polarized times like this it's difficult to talk about faith without his ilk poisoning the well for the rest of us who take our faith seriously.

            •  A Classic (No cuss words at all)

              ____________, you swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As they say in Texas. I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.
                You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
                You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
                I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?
                Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.
                You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
                You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.
                And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake? You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.
                On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
                You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.
                You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you my not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.
                The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

              •  I hate thinking sometimes

                For those of us who are too intellectually lazy for properly brewed venom, here is a little tool that I personally find quite handy.

                My complaint about Pres. George W. Bush

                Before I can focus on the ignorance that abounds in Pres. George W. Bush's indiscretions, I must qualify Pres. Bush's character, his sources, and even his personal frame of mind towards me. If you disagree with my claim that Pres. Bush's roorbacks are saturated with the sadistic rhetoric that will obviously reduce history to an overdetermined, wireframe sketch of what are, in reality, complex, dynamic events, then read no further. Must it be explained to Pres. Bush that his degeneracy has permeated the whole stratum of society? Because he obviously doesn't realize that by refusing to act, by refusing to serve on the side of Truth, we are giving him the power to use both overt and covert deceptions to outrage the very sensibilities of those who value freedom and fairness. He is like a magician who produces a dove in one hand, while the other hand is busy trying to exhibit cruelty to animals. In retrospect, Pres. Bush has always been more devious than most whiney dole-sucking parasites.

                It may seem obvious, but by writing this letter, I am definitely sticking my head far above the parapet. The big danger is that Pres. Bush will retaliate against me. He'll most likely try to force me to leave the country, although another possibility is that if he continues to deflect attention from his unwillingness to support policies that benefit the average citizen, I will be obliged to do something about him. And you know me: I never neglect my obligations. In his obloquies, priggism is witting and unremitting, homicidal and petulant. He revels in it, rolls in it, and uses it to keep us perennially behind the eight ball. Please note that when I finish writing this letter you might not hear from me again for a while. I simply don't have enough strength left to teach spiteful, socially inept liars and cheats about tolerance. Nevertheless, Pres. Bush has never satisfactorily proved his assertion that he has been robbed of all he does not possess. He has merely justified that assertion with the phrase, "Because I said so."

                Pres. Bush promises that if we give him and his toadies additional powers, he'll guard us from benighted jerks. My question, however is, Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? -- Who will guard the guards? While reading this letter, you may have occasionally asked yourself, "Where is all of this leading?" and, "What is the point exactly?" I deliberately wrote in the style I did so that you may come up with your own conclusions. Therefore, I leave you with only the following: Pres. George W. Bush's bootlickers give rise to loquacious manipulators of the public mind simply because they think it's fun.

  wonder which rethug paid this guy to write that article?

  by BlueInARedState on Sat May 27, 2006 at 07:46:03 PM PDT

•  Here's another one...

  from Betty Bowers

  Dear Readers:

  It's mourning in America. I don't know if you have heard, but Ronald Reagan is dead. I'm crying as I type. As if developing a touching, sympathetic symptom to honor our affably vague former President, the nation has collectively keened its way into a state of its own historic Alzheimer's. For example, Reagan is suddenly, miraculously more popular than Clinton was when he left office.

  Ronnie discovered the elusiveness of recollection, with adroit perspicacity, within moments of being asked what he knew about illegal Iran-Contra activities. It is, of course, truly sad that Mr. Reagan lost his memory. Wouldn't he be ever so surprised to know that he must have left it lying around somewhere in the White House? Indeed, George W. Bush seems to have stumbled upon it. Why, he is almost certainly using Mr. Regan's memory right now. Probably not in homage. More likely as something more akin to identity theft.

  Yes, the description "The Great Communicator" may be somewhat of a stretch for a New Haven, Texas buckaroo who speaks with such fluidity and phrasing it sounds as if he is reciting what is being hesitantly pecked out by someone who has never seen a typewriter before.

  Nevertheless, the comparisons are not all farfetched. For example, both men turned their noses up at the idea of "Big Government," while embracing its reality with a gusto that would have made Nikita Khrushchev's head spin. And neither was a military man who fought the enemy in his generation's big war -- he just played one on TV.

  It takes more bravery to continue walking calmly through immense hostility at home, than to face down a foreign foe, with a united nation at one's back. This, as I say, is a very brave president.

•  Not a joke. He heard there are job openings

  in the administration. Didn't you know it's a requirement to write W. a love letter to get hired?

  Many here had trouble getting through the whole thing. I found this part especially mindboggling:

  In Paris, France, more cars may have been set on fire this past year than car bombings in Baghdad. In the decade of the Algerian war some time ago there may have been more bombings in France per week than there are now in Iraq. A tiny band of extremists, led by a crafty but crazed Jordanian, are still capable of impressive resourcefulness and ruthless killing, especially within camera reach of the hotels in Baghdad, where the American press is bunkered down. But they represent only a small fringe of Iraqi voters—and of course they loathe democracy with all their writhing intestines.

  Despite the depredations, beheadings, and homicide bombings aimed at American public opinion, and especially elite opinion, President Bush has bravely kept his focus on eliminating one by one the dwindling band of terrorists, on the reconstruction of Iraqi civil society, and on the ability of Iraqi parties to broker and bargain and argue themselves into consensus in a political manner.

  The dwindling band of terrorists. Wow. Just wow. I'd still be in the closet if I had just a quarter of this guy's overwhelming ability to live in denial.

Besides, no self-respecting fag would ever let himself get as white and pasty as Mehlman is from living in the shadows.

              I'm almost ashamed I got that joke! :-)

              Jeez- I laughed so hard, I started coughing, whereupon my wife asked me what was so funny...

              Thanks!

  •  In another one of his articles he states

    http://www.michaelnovak.net/...

    Did you know that religious women are having many times more babies in America than secular women?

    Many times more? Like two, three, four times more? As in 200 or 300 percent more? Wow, that's startling!

    But in his next sentence:

    Not to put too partisan a ring on it, but the same article–and the discussion it has prompted–points out that women in the red states are having 12 percent more babies than women in the blue states....

    OK, this makes sense. The next time you hear a conservative say "there are many times more women having abortions than thirty years ago,"  what they mean is that there is only a mere fraction more, like maybe 12 percent.

    What a knobshine.

•  Had me going there for a while...

  ..could've used a snark tag.

  What?  WHAT?!  It's not snark?!!?!

  (Seriously, what a moron.  The ultimate expression of the if-you-say-it-it-must-be-true ethic of the Republican Party.)

    •  Cough....

      Khuh....khuh!

      Perverted:  I had this fantasy that Bush turned righteous and faced down the entire Military-Industrial Complex- today.

      Don't jump.... love.

      •  'Faced'

        could be used in a sentence describing Bush and the military industrial complex.
        So could "down."
        Just maybe not in the way you envisioned.
        Ask Campanelli.
        He could probably go into detail more eloquently than I could.

    the only word for it is "delusional"

    i have the koolaid image in the diary somewhere on my computer (god knows where in this maze of a mess i've allowed my hard drive to become :p).   i love that image.

•  I sorta agree with the guy.

  On the number-one issue facing the nation—the war declared upon us by fascists who pretend to be religious—he has not wavered, he has not bent, he has stayed on course and true.

  The fascists who pretend to be religious did declare war on us. And their name is Bushco.

•  That is incredible

  but explains a lot about their world view. He's got a depth of thought and critical thinking on par with a 6-year-old.

  Totally and completely beyond hope of becoming a decent member of the human race. He deserves to live but also to be pitied.

  •  Nobody actually believes that crap.

    It's gobbeldygook bizzaro world propaganda. I mean... even Republicans are just going through the motions at this point. That article was insane, but it lacked any sense that the author was really dumb enough to believe any of it.

    Surely not...

    by ghostbuster on Sat May 27, 2006 at 10:56:20 PM PDT

    •  I sometimes wonder

      myself how any one could believe it but nothing surprises me any more. Just the fact that they'd say it must mean that at some point saying stupid things like that have been rewarded with approval and acceptance from somewhere.

•  Democratic Congress? Fascists?

  This guy is insane!  He states: "On the number-one issue facing the nation—the war declared upon us by fascists who pretend to be religious—"

  Benito Mussolini (well known fascist) had this to say:

  "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power."

  Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds more like the current neo-conservative movement than Al Quaida, or have I missed something?

  And Democratic congress?  There are 2 chambers, bud, and the Democrats controlled only one of them during the chimp's first term.  And truth be told, after 9/11 there was no opposition party as the democrats turned total pussy and gave him a blank check and a pass on everything  (spending, the war, and patriot bill for instance).

  Maybe if they show some backbone, we can actually get control back.  How can he write stuff like this.

  I couldn't even read past that paragraph.  UGH!
