“Shoot, I’m not even always right, LOL!”
So writes everyone’s favorite conservative blogger, seemingly confused as to whether he’s a teenager now or in 1955. Not that he’s “teenybopper blogging,” but when you think that Selena Gomez, whoever that is, quitting Wizards of Waverly Place, whatever that is, constitutes “breaking news,” you’re damn close. Either way, someone should inform him that just because he thinks and writes like he’s underage doesn’t make it legal for him to possess or disseminate semi-nude images of jail bait.
I was in the mood to vehemently contradict something substantial, but then I remembered where I was, so the best I could do was rag on him for bragging about Irvine being the twenty-second best place to live—about which, no—and UCI being ranked just below Wisconsin in U.S. News and World Report annual poll. Talk about reflected glory: he’s owning the university on account of living in the same city as it. But the best part of his boasting about UCI? He’s unwittingly praising me.
After all, if anyone should be boasting about UCI’s ranking, it should be someone to whom it granted a degree.*
*Before you ask: I am aware that this post is as vapid as the site it links to. I’d intended to mock him for writing “of course ObamaCare has by now proved to be as disastrous as conservatives originally warned,” then ask him to show me the death panels, but sheer lunacy of the other posts stopped me short. Apologies, all.
Geller can never top her “Obama is Malcolm X’s Love Child” edda, but at least she has Dullard as a friend.
So, when he says “heads exploding on the left”, in English “heads exploding” means “looks of pity shaded with disgust.” So noted.
I’d just wince.
Don’t mind if I do! Yeah, I was an ‘Eater when ‘Eaters weren’t cool.
I’m actually surprised and pleased by the ranking. Not that it matters at all, substantively, but I’m in favor of (almost) anything that makes my resume look better.
“—about which, no—”
What do you mean, “no?” Irvine is a great place to live. You don’t have to deal with crappy things like walking places, bars, good restaurants, or small businesses!
I half-expect the Irvine Corporation to send a cease-and-desist letter for this post. Or to it, given how bright the hive minds behind it are.
I miss when Donald was all about not understanding what the word nihilism meant. That was an internet tradition of which I was proud to be aware.
Take heart, Mal…
Those days are clearly not yet over… …in full caps, bold font, and that familiar “huff and PUFF and BLOW your house in” style that can only come from a man more proud of showing off his ignorance of political terms one’d think a political science professor ought to have a grasp of than ever he has been…
But never fear, dear readers… He’s already declared himself victorious and moved on, as though only a fool would dare question his boisterous, bombastic mastery over that unique blend of circuitous logic and wholly meaningless ad hom…
Wow. So you are a Godless freak-nozzle, while Tbogg is the Demonologist in chief.
Clearly, conservatives like Donald are discriminated against in academia…
Whatta scoop!
You of all people should understand the value of mocking for mocking’s sake.
What do you think I’m doing?
Taking a wild stab here that SEK doesn’t have an eight-year-old child. The Wizards of Waverly Place is a Disney Channel sitcom. My knowledge of the show begins and ends with the fact that the actress who plays the mother of Ms. Gomez’s character lived next door to me my freshman year of college.
I do not. My children are 13, 13, and undisclosed-because-unknown-years-old … and are cats. Because I’m that sorta spinster, you know?
I have never heard of this American Power but it is run by one of the more entertaining lunatics I’ve found so far.
Really glad my dad isn’t like that, though. That would suck.
You’re right: “WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!?” is a bold, bathetic ploy until you read Douglas talking about his kids, and then you just can’t help yourself.
Based on the fact that Donald is now linking to soft core teen porn, I guess we should be grateful that he’s teaching at a juco and not at a middle school.
Of course, he only recently replaced his gratuitius sidebar pic of not-soft-core barely-legal porn star XOXO Leah with another of Jessica Simpson. Those really go a long way to bolster his personal and professional credibility.
I once lived in the fourth best place to live in rural America. Oooh, burn! (on Donald Douglas)
And his response is just sad. I don’t mind if he spells my name wrong, but it offends the profession when he spells it differently twice in two sentences.
AmNeo’s spelling/grammar/typo errors are become legendary. And as per his usual modus operandi, all such verbal errors are only fodder for partisan attack when they are committed by his oh so many enemies… It must be a ‘pubbie/Con thing… It’s always different when THEY do it…
In his response, he posts a picture of “hot” conservative women which includes Debbie Schlussel as an example of “hot.”
I doubt the dogs in his neighborhood are safe.
But no comments here? Damn, that’s always my favorite thing whenever you post about the Donald – his lovely, well-reasoned, insightful responses.
Scott: I request that you either take this post down or revise it with a full correction and apology, seeing that it is (1) libelous and (2) you know it.
I will forward all of this to the UCI Department of English and the administration as well — and it won’t be fake allegations of harassment or racism, as has been the case with those who’ve sought to intimidate me at my place of employment. YOU are the one who’s in illegal territory. Not me. Please take the appropriate actions, which, again, I would suggest would be to remove this entry and issue an apology.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Douglas… I seem to recall you were once (or perhaps more than once) opposed to getting the workplace involved in online disagreements (or was that only when it was your workplace/job that was being threatened?)
Obviously, you’ve changed your mind, and now see some benefit in workplace harassment…
Principles as stiff as an overcooked noodle. Why am I not surprised?
Donald, if you want to come to the English department with that picture you posted and claim that I’m in the wrong, go for it. You take that picture, bring it before people in power, and justify why you posted it, and I’ll give you, I don’t know, $4,000. See you soon.
I’m sure the department heads need the laugh, and throwing in some Disney Channel cheesecake only sweetens the pot.
Donald’s over on my site whining that LGM is moderated (and of course, claiming that that fact proves him right, somehow)… Did you prevent him from posting, or has he simply forgotten how to use teh intrawebs…
We’re not moderated; he may have been banned, although not by me.
Me neither. I don’t know what he’s complaining about.
For the record, this is still somehow brewing. If I didn’t have a job or a life, I’d likely wade in, but you know how it goes …
