« and in the end | Main | meat is murder. but not cop meat. that's activism. »

did i just hear a door slam?

I don't want "feedback!" I don't want to hear The Other SideŽD.N.C.! And I'm not even really interested in the "Centrist" Middle and if you're smart, you won't be either. I don't care if you call yourself a "Conservative" Dimocrat or a "Liberal" Republican: I call you an IDIOT. Take it outside! and don't come back!

I think she just called me - and plenty of other people - a stupid idiot. Actually, I'm sort of speechless on this one.

update: as always, Arthur handles it more eloquently than I.

Consider the source. With apologies to Shakespeare, she's full of sound and fury and really signifying nothing but invective, truly nasty name-calling and ad hominem attacks.

I'm pretty speechless too. I hope she gets on some meds soon.

Wow, it's kind of like a badge of honor coming from her.

I can't wait to be one of the first against the wall when Jen's revolution of crazy, extremists comes.

I'll bring the smokes.

(I don't smoke, but I'm feeling generous)

Well, at least I don't have to sit home at night, calloused hands and all (even though I thought I was one of those effete liberals who's never done a day's work in his life), crying about not being able to comment on her site.

Basically, she's split the world into people who agree with her and people she hates. Sad, really, but not unexpected.

Sigh another one of "those peopleŽ"that have comments for the sole purpose of people telling them ONLY what they want to hear.....

It must be nice to be so thoroughly convinced of your own correctness.

They have Hesiod, we have Her...

WOW, I just had an incredible thought:
If they got together, it would make Carvil and Maitlin look like Donnie and Marie.

Tys, but what if they got funky and made babies! Would we get the worst of both or just a rational centrist? I'm not sure I want to take that chance.

A question:
Is Jen's removal of certain previous posts due to a "sudden onset of maturity and perspective" really any different than Michael Moore's removal of the infamous "Payback Tuesday" letter on his website?

Just curious. I can't see any difference at all.

Like a Donnie and Marie love-child, the possibility is too horrible to imagine, and genetics would most likely make it a moot point.

Besides, their sleeping arrangements, so far to Left and Right, would make Lucy and Ricky's™ room look positively cramped.

Jen's okay. Give her a break. It is her blog, after all.

I try to stay away from personal judgments because, well, they're just blogs, after all. But I read quite a bit of her entries tonight, having never seen her site before, and I'm disgusted. She's narrow-minded and really, quite triflin. In that "I don't like what you say so I'm sticking my fingers in my ears and humming Yankee Doodle Dandy" way.

She's made her own little spot full of people who think like her and is doing everything she can to keep other opinions away. She's barred all the kids who look & act differently from her table in the cafeteria. And I for one wouldn't have wanted to sit at her table anyway. I'd rather hang out behind the gym and smoke with the stoners.

Reading her blog is like reading usenet, only minus the content, leaving just the idiotic trolls.
