one of the guys on the fairly prominent rightwing blog Powerline blathered about how it just had to be the Swift kids making some commentary on Pajama Boy, because everybody has been following the Pajama Boy saga for the past few weeks and must have very strong feelings about the scandalous Pajama Boy
...
I found out about this from Roy Edroso's blog, where Roy wrote, as he has quite a few times in the past regarding rightbloggers, "Do these guys even know any normal people?"

When that was pointed out, Tinsley said he didn't know Stewart was Jewish (Which pretty much means he's never paid attention to him) and pointed out the real problem is that he'd change his surname to Stewart.

I think it's more how he's ashamed of his heritage because liberals are the REAL antisemites. When in reality it was because of issues with his father.

My favorite example of Lester shooting himself in the foot was the original version of this, which is the same except for PotG Donkey:


He tries to paint the American Left as a The Real Bigots, but then he draws Barney Frank in womens' underwear. The hypocrisy is staggering.

I realize I may be late to the party with this, but I just looked at Asay's website and he says that he taught in the public school system.

when asked about this she said that was never going to change how she taught because "the english language doesn't change"

Whan that aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour
Whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye
(so priketh hem nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of engelond to caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

That Harvey Milk day isn't a federally recognised holiday would suggest otherwise. I'm not arguing that the things that Harvey Milk did weren't incredibly brave, what I'm arguing is that they weren't incredibly effective on a national level, at least to the same degree as Martin Luther King Juniors accomplishments.

CFLs are like three for $20 at my local store, and those things last forever. Even if we totally ignore the environment, it's better than the old incandescent bulbs in every possible way. This is just making a stand against those drat hippies and their oppressive policies forcing us to use...superior bulbs?

Also, any opportunity to repost this.

Thing is, despite Chaucer looking odd there are only four words in your entire quoted passage that aren't alternate spellings/pronunciations of words in use today and the major grammatical change is a different order for subjects, objects and nouns.

Jedit posted:

Agreed, but if you look forward a couple of hundred years to the late Tudor period you'll find the language is much the same as modern English. Taking it back to Chaucer is a cheap and foolish way to criticise this woman for teaching English the way she did 40 years previous "because it doesn't change" when it really hasn't changed much in 400 years.

Has Muir ever given any indication of caring about Christianity except as a "gently caress you" to Muslims?

PhancyPants posted:

A lot of people seem to think that if you can trick a Muslim person into eating pork, they have to throw themselves off a bridge or something.

Climate scientist? More like stupid dumb idiot.

Broken Loose posted:

It's like, I know trying to get these people to use logic is impossible, but by trying to sneak pork onto corpses and put pork into bullets to send Muslims to hell you're functionally admitting that Islam is the true religion. There's no other way to interpret it.

Skelley is infecting his funny pages strip

Captain_Maclaine posted:

The overwhelming majority of Dustin strips are the boomer-age father browbeating and degrading his son for not bootstrapping his way into success, despite Dustin constantly working any and all jobs he can get his hands on. I leave you to guess what his opinions on UHC are.

Me, I'd guess he has either a medium or large problem with it.

quote:

Dustin Kudlick, the titular character of the comic strip. A 23-year-old college graduate who failed to find regular employment in the current economy after graduating and thus moved back home to live with his parents. He is constantly trapped in a cycle of dead-end temp jobs and grueling manual labor, frequently shown putting in long hours at a car wash or asking his supervisor at the temp agency for more career-enhancing assignments that might help him break out of the cycle of wage slavery, not to mention troubling in developing relationships with women and a budding inventor. Despite his dysfunctional family atmosphere, Dustin remains stoic, a heroic everyman and inspiration to the reader, as he endures and strives, trying to find true employment and happiness.

Ed Kudlick, Dustin's father, is an angry, bitter lawyer who despises Dustin's apparent laziness and is the strip's main antagonist. Ed is never supportive in any way, and always seeks to crush Dustin's attempts to find meaning and useful employment, ceaselessly mocking his son and putting him down, yet the only thing they have in common is their love of golf.

It's also the wrong proportion for an editorial cartoon, and a cut/paste from his Ebert cartoon, but with a different character and slightly altered text. It's a well done edit but there are a handful of clues that it's not real.

I don't believe it. He's putting the "president is incompetent and can't do anything" and "president is monolithic evil and has taken over completely" in the same strip and still doesn't see the cognitive dissonance.

Hasn't Obama used a very low amount of executive orders, compared to other recent presidents? I swear I just saw a chart showing this the other day.
