its always Munich, its always 1938.

Of course the usual suspects are at their keyboards ginning up another war. John Cole covers the salient points.
Shorter Ygelsias: Bill Kristol is a warmongering nutjob with no ideas.

Yglesias is back.

Matt Yglesias has returned with his new blog. Read him everyday if you can.

Chaos, drama and death

I caused plenty of chaos at the 7eo this weekend. Well, I didn't cause it all, but aided and abetted perhaps.

It started out innocently enough. I met HAHA to watch the Mets and Red Sox games and Thumbs and Hate were there before heading to see the Bees game. Thumbs invited us to go and I was sure that'll be cool. And it was. (Mets lost, Sox lost, Bees won, if you're keeping score.)

After the game we return to the 7eo and consume refreshing beverages. Eventually Cheesesteak and Irish show up as well as Notrammer and HC. A good time was had by all. Eventually Thumbs and Hate leave as does HAHA.

Just before i am about to leave. HAHA calls and apparently Hate looked at Thumbs phone and seen that HAHA had texted and lost her mind. As HAHA is telling me this my phone rings and its Thumbs, except it is really Hate telling me to keep my slut friend away from Thumbs. To which, I respond,"Its not like that, and even if it was you are mad at the wrong person." Click.

So that was fun.

Because I am a rtard, I tell HC the her roomate Rammer would kick her out if Notrammer didn't live there. Excellent plan Chancelot.

At anyrate, I have no idea what the longterm fall out will be but the drama is getting ridiculous.

In news that you have already heard about:

WAR! Russia vs. Georgia

Bernie Mac Dead.

Isaac Hayes.


Update: Also going to Bees game without inviting The Subtle Self made her mad. So I'm killin it right now.

Friday Music...etc

i am not a weekend blogger. So until Monday. See Ya. Go Mets!

Here is his post game reaction on SNY.

Uncle Tim=Me?

I guess this post would probably make that true. But at least they aren't playing the race card.

Sullivan beats me to the punch.

"Derb defines it as "a white person who is excessively deferential towards black people." Since Derb refuses to live near any, I guess he's in the clear."

Chancelot's Tuesday Music Club

I stole this idea from skippy, who you should check out anyway.



The Clash-Pressure Drop

The tactics of the conservative mind

This article is a must read if you want to understand wingnuts.

Hearts and Minds: We can has them?

I bet these flaming r-tards are from the south.

Yes, you are a racist..ummkay

Shorter Publius: White southerners aren't racist they're just upset because their feel bads hurt really, really bad.

If you are angry at entire group of people for no good reason except somehow you have been victimized by the least powerful group in the country you are a whiner. If you go on about affirmative action ruining your life and welfare queens taking your money you are a racist. You might not be prejudiced but you are a racist. This resentment of whites is the same resentment that fed one hundred years of segregation and terrorist actions perpetrated against blacks throughout the twentieth century.

President Cheney wants to bomb Iran

America is teh awesome.

I'm sorry they make me laugh.

Repulicans are stoopid liars Part one

It is hilarious that a party that is almost entirely based on a cult of personality is calling Obama vapid and clueless. Do these people and their ilk have any intellectual honesty at all. They claim that Obama lacks experience and know how while pushing a guy who lies and promises to do nothing to solve our problems. Well, I guess I will just assume republicans are r-tards until proven otherwise.


ed. Sorry, about linking to the corner, your precipitous IQ drop will return to normal after leaving the site and viewing this video.



Update: I guess when this is your base being stupid isn't that harmful.

I'm Baaack... Solzhenitsyn is not

Ok, here we go again. I am over my blogaphobia or whatever was keeping me from posting. I am ready to rejoin the teeming masses in heart of Blogfrica. So let's go!

Alexander Solzhenitsyn has died. I didn't actually know that much about him but he was clearly influential and important man who had an interesting life.

p.s. I have read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

SOULS...

Mr. Roboto...or how I learned to love our robot masters

This interruption in my blog hiatus is brought to you by the looming robot threat. I do believe that the man has a point and clearly this is an unexplored area of danger.

"The inevitable apocalyptic battle against machines has long been a fruitful topic in books (Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov), film (The Terminator, The Matrix), and shit-shooting bar discussions. (We personally believe that simple machines pose an underrated threat; how are we going to lift and move heavy objects when the automaton rocket-blasting helicopters, appealing to intra-machine solidarity, convince levers and pulleys to turn against us?)"

Matt Yglesias has been beating the drum against this imminent danger and Ezra joins him in his call for vigilance. Don't let your guard down or be distracted by the so-called pirate threat.


p.s. regular blogging will resume hopefully at an excelerated pace.
