@jamie - at the Fed Bar Ind Law Conf in ABQ? Leave a note for RML in the registration room w/contact info and we can have coffee. (Just a hunch . . . )

Even worser: Caligutard eats babies while fucking OBL and Saddam’s corpse while ingesting tina.

In another poll, it was discovered that some 54-60% of Repubs are absolute fucking morons.

How about some alt-text more appropriate to the tenor of this post:

Caligutard offers America free prostate exam

@ManchuCandidate: who are scared of brown people.

90% of you humans are dumber than a fencepost and shouldn’t be allowed to vote, procreate, or speak in public, because for every dumbass spouting bullshit, there are yet more dumber-asses who will think the merely dumbass is a genius and become his mindless zombie-like followers.

And for god’s sake, you let them all drive, too.

God I wish I could go back to my home planet

@promnight: Vulcan? Planet Claire?

@prom,

On the planet of the witless, the half wit is king (unfortunately it also describes all political parties…)

@Rptrcub: Thanks. Now I’m going to have that B-52s song as my ear worm all morning long.

@SFL: You’re welcome. How about their newest one?

Private property, hippy be quiet
Your peace sign t-shirt could cause a riot
Faster, faster can’t get enough
What the hell will I do with this stuff?

Oh, broke my heart at the funplex
Yes you did, yes you did
Oh, broke my heart at the funplex
Yes you did, yes you did

@redmanlaw: First all the Left Coasters get together, and now this! I’m so jealous. Any CPers in DC or B’more?

@ manchu: I have a nice, but dumb, relative, and he once explained the problem to me. He said Prom, your smarter than me, and so is Einstein. But from where I sit, because I don’t understand either of you, its completely impossible for me to determine who is smarter, you or einstein. I’m not equipped to make that determination. (true story).

So to the 50% of America below average in intelligence, they can’t distinguish between a candidate who is at the 50.1 percentile, or at the 99.9 percentile. Its all the same to them, two people who are both beyond their comprehension.

Add to that the number of brilliant morons in the world, too.

Its not easy being me, you know, the only perfect being on this planet.

And by the way, you earthlings have that old saying wrong; in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is not king, he is stoned to death as a heretic. Big difference, important to get that one right. I wouldn’t want any bright people to get hurt or killed thinking that they would be recognized and feted by the marching morons. The morons fear and despise intelligence even more than they do brown people.

Fucking tards.

@mellbell - NYC, and Wasserstron too.

@rptrcub
I’m loving the rptrcub vibe this morning, yes I am.

How could Chimpy be any worse you ask? I respond: Give him a few months, he’ll come up with something.

ALSO: THREADJACK::::::

Anybody read the Vanity Fair article on the Administration and Torture? Very interesting….

@Tommcatt: Awww, thanks. I’m just trying to get back on eastern time and I’m still loopy. Come to think of it, in SF, I was loopy then, so I’m probably just crazy. SFL, Dodgerblue and MW can attest to that.

@rptrcub
I’ve always suspected that Promnight is the last surviving member of the Krell from Altair IV. The obviously artificially enhanced intelligence from the Krell Education Machine was the first clue, and the barely constrained Id confirms the identification. But how did he alone survive the disaster that befell the rest of his species? Unless… It was his unleashed Id that caused the catastrophic failue of the Krell civilization… It puts the whole Ark obsession into a whole new light.

“But the Krell forgot one thing! Monsters, John! Monsters from the id!”

@MW,

FP reference!

Strangely for a 52 year old movie, it still rings true. We’re all monsters inside (not just Hilsbot) and we as a race don’t get that. We’d all end up scared out of our minds if we told each other what demons we have (similar to Jerry Seinfeld’s reaction to George Costanza’s outpouring.)

@prom,
True that, but many really smart people aren’t all they’re cracked up to be either at least among the folks I’ve gone to school with and worked with. Little turds with the IQs of geniuses (like Rove, but not of Rove.) Rare to find one with brains and a strong morality (not in a Xtian sense either.)

@SBT: I thought Klaatu, but Krell works, too.

Yes, THE ID! They always forget the ID! Bwha! Ha! Haha! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

“But the Krell forgot one thing! Monsters, John! Monsters from the id!”

“We’d all end up scared out of our minds if we told each other what demons we have…” - manchu

I am only frightened by the possibility that Flying Chainsaw is not letting them all out.

@rptcub
Silly Cub. Klaatu is a robot.

EDIT - The above statement has been declared inoperative. Please disregard. Gort was the robot. Duh!

EDIT 2 - Fixed typos. Has anyone else noticed that once a comment goes bad, it can never be properly repaired, with every attempt only crating new errors?

EDIT 3 - Oh shit. Now there are two of them. WTF! How did that happen?

@Blogenfreude: NYC is far — can we compromise on Philly?

@SBT: true, and the identicon thingy fucks up pretty royally if you try to change a link in there, too.

I have abandoned the previous comment before it takes over my whole life.

Lets try again:

@rptrcub
So are you saying that Promnight looks like Michael Rennie? Or Keanu Reeves (remake to be released later this year)?

@SBT: Erm, I’m hoping the latter but I’ve never met PN. Just a personal pref.

The Republicans are the monsters of the Id, obviously, all naked appetite and selfishness.

Yea, Keanu Reeves, thats me, exactly.

And Philly is great for me. Or better yet, meet on the SS Promnight (I already have an Ark), its good for 8 to 10 for a party. Really.

@promnight: Ah yes, Jersey. Many and regrettable were the times in college that I accidentally crossed the Ben Franklin bridge and ended up in Camden. I’m sure your neck of the woods is lovely, though.

Hey Rptrcub, have they cleaned up the trash outside the CNN building yet? I’m not referring to the white trash. We have that out here in Santa Monica also.

@mellbell: Ya gotta keep going till you hit LBI.

@promnight: Been there once and loved it!

@Mellbell,PromNight: I think the movie “Harold and Kumar go to White Castle” perfectly captures the essence of Jersey and its many subcultures.

That and Jim “Gay American” McGreevey and his wife and his driver going to eat at T.G.I. Friday’s before their threesomes. Classic.

Hey, SFL, whats a threesome wthout filling up on margaritas, potatoe skins, and hot wings as the “appetizer?” Its a Jersey tradition. And the next morning, pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwiches with ketchup on a kaiser roll. Ummmm.

Remember “finger cuffs” from Chasing Amy? New Jersey, the threesome state.

@FlyingChainSaw: Where did this pic come from? How recent is it? Judging by the amount of gray in his hair, very recent. Rumors that he has taken to drink again seem to be confirmed by it. He must know that someone would get a picture of him givng someone the finger while he’s holding a folded flag–some kind of memorial service? How can we ensure that the picture gets widely circulated?

Okay, here’s the SS Promnight: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/palau998/mainship-janthrumarch05121_edited.jpg

I’ll even try this

@mell, prom, others in the PhilaJerseyBalWash area: whatsayouze to a confab around the Compassion Forum this Sunday?

We can all go wearing our favorite Monica Goodling outfits. Pix of us being denied access to Campbell Brown could go over to StringBikiniTheory Central.

@Nabisco: OMG, y’all totally should go to this. Obviously McCunTrollope has no compassion, as he’s not going to be there.

@Prom: Potatoe? Iz u kin 2 Dan Quayle?

@nabisco et.al
Anyone who wants author status on SBT - I just need an e-mail - it may require a g-mail - not sure. If you want to post pictures semi-real time, send photo from phone to go@blogger.com. Blogger will send you a secret code and link back to your phone. From that link you can associate your phone with your author status on SBT. From then on pictures sent from phone to go@blogger.com will post on SBT immediately.

Another housekeeping note: I had just revoked admin status from all except me on SBT. Since we have content out there now, I wanted to protect it. However, if Blogen, Greg, or SFL want to retain the admin level - just let me know - I’ll put it back.

@SFL
Do not fuck with the Krell.

@SFL: Dan was in New Jersey when he said that, in Camden, in fact. Thats the way we all spell it here, so in fact, he was unfairly maligned, that guy is so on the ball, he actually took the time to learn the local spelling.

@Dodgerblue: I think they’re still cleaning up right now. When I came in on MARTA from the airport back north to the uppermost extend of public rail transport in crackaland in the north ‘burbs, there were still boarded-up windows to be seen on many of the skyscrapers. Made me feel all white, trashy and southern. I knew I was back home again. Dammit. And I lost all my good hippie SF vibes when I came 5 seconds from slapping three twits on MARTA who wouldn’t sit down and their mother did NOTHING.

That and when I cussed out a beggar in the Powell Street BART station at 5 a.m. PDT Wednesday who wanted change to go to Berkeley. I went from SF-laissez-faire to Atlanta sistah in 10 microns.

And when I cussed out a woman yesterday for nearly running over me. And she had the nerve to tell me that Jeebus loved me after that.

@promnight re inability of the stupids to differentiate between varying levels of intelligence: That’s what made Bill Clinton such a unique and brilliant politician. Although he has a very high IQ, he was raised in the south and learned to talk stupid at a very early age. His wife, being from the affluent suburbs of Chicago, never developed that knack.
Barry half White, being all multicultural, seems to have the knack to some extent, but Trollopmaster McCuntface, being a stupid, is perceived by the mega-stupids to be some kind of a fucking genius, because that’s just what happens when you get tortured by the North Vietnamese.
We are really, really in a very worrisome situation.

@ manchu: the dangerous ones are the smart ones who don’t know what they don’t know, with the ego that makes them think they are right, period. I have learned that there are about a million ways to do most things right, and a million ways to do them wrong, so you cannot get too wrapped up in your own cleverness and convince yourself you alone are right.

Guru, you are very right.

@SanFranLefty

The guy that plays Harold is HAWT.

Okay, testing new avatar. decided to go with completely new theme this time: Boobs.

So, seriously, would love to host a cocktail cruise on the SS Promnight, if any interest exists.

Now I did it, can anyone help?

CNN just had to go and be a killjoy:

[The Bushes] contributed a total of $165,660 to churches and charitable organizations, including the Crawford (Texas) Volunteer Fire Department, Susan G. Komen For the Cure, Malaria No More Fund, Martha’s Table, and a St. John’s Church.

Martha’s Table is what really got to me — they do such good work here in DC, and I find it hard to hate on someone who supports them (though surely y’all can disabuse me of that).

@promnight: your avatar looks as fucked up as mine did last night with the extra [img] tag. I guess it’ll clear out. But yes, nice bewbs.

@rptrcub: welcome home. Here on the Left Coast, I’ve been getting nastier with drivers who try to kill me when I’m biking to or from work. My wife lived in Mexico for a while and taught me some Mexican Spanish swear words than can come in real handy here, e.g. “you drive like a pinche vieja” (fucking old lady).

@reptrcub: Thanks

@melbell Let’s assume they have a billion dollars, because that’s a nice round figure, they’re probably close to it and, in terms of socked away goodies, i.e. favors owed, land in Paraguay, Halliburton stock held by proxies, etc…, they’re probably well over it.
Now, admittedly, math is not my strong subject, and I’m just sort of guessing wild here, but it seems to me they contributed something less than 1/5,000th of their net worth to charity.
That would be as if I contributed $10, which I’ve done a couple of times this year, without even thinking about taxes.
Also, money contributed to a church doesn’t really count, because, if you’re a member of that church, it’s essentially a contribution to yourself.

@Dodgerblue: Thx… Ohhhh, that’ll sure piss off the people who wanna get rid of them thar Messicans…. I love it.

@ lynnlightfoot

I have no idea of the picture’s age or provenance though it does not look doctored. If I was a photo editor at a newspaper it would be the only one I’d use in stories about the Boy Fuhrer.

When I do Caligutard stories I just go to Google Images and type in Bush+retard or Bush+moron and stuff like this comes up. I don’t have enough time to work at finding the perfect image but this one seemed to work.

Since MellBell broached the possibility that W might be related in some form to humankind, I’d like to beg everyone’s indulgence and briefly bring this thread back to the original FCS topic.

Last June, when his numbers were slightly higher than they are today, I analyzed and posted an explanation for this phenomena, to whit:

W is merely fulfilling his original campaign promise in 1999 to be “A uniter, not a divider.” As part of that post, I analyzed his approval ratings and extrapolted the trend on this chart, and determining that we were on track to have 99% of the population of the US united in loathing this President by the time a new president takes over in 2009. I, for one, am grateful for his leadership. Thank you President Bush for fulfilling your promise. Thank you for bringing us together with a truly bipartisan purpose. Thank you for uniting our country again.

I now return you to your threadjack already in progress.

Since MellBell broached the possibility that W might be related in some form to humankind…

Thanks for tossing that albatross ’round my neck! I was going to append my comment with something like “though no amount of money will reverse the damage his policies have done to those most in need of charity,” but my compassionate (actually compassionate, not compassionate conservative) side got the better of me.

@Prom: So you’ve been cheating on me with another ark? And it’s a stinkpot not a sail? Oh dear. You just wait.

BTW: spent summers in Seaside Park starting in 1955. Grew up in that great big working class experiment Levittown PA. The world gets smaller every day.

@rcub, lefty - The B-52s played some of their new stuff on the road last summer. Looking fwd to the new cd. Still giving initial listens to “In Rainbows” by Radiohead and “Ghosts I-IV” by Nine Inch Nails.

@mellbell - jamie prob was not at the conference. It was a shot in the dark.

@manchu - “We’re all monsters inside . . . ”

Metallica, Some Kind of Monster
