The World’s Most Dangerous Perfesser!
As you may have noticed, some underlings of the nation’s preeminent racist concentration camp apologist attempted to send her flying monkeys against me for daring to call a highly partisan judge who believes that the Constitution enacted Ms. Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged a “neoconfederate hack.” Alas, even the most permanently aggrieved winger must have trouble generating outrage over use of the word “hack,” and the typical Twitchy reader presumably considers “neoconfederate” a compliment (or an insult only because of the “neo.”) So the whole the whole attempt to get another head on a stick was a big fizzle.
This isn’t to say, however, that some comedy gold did not result! Meet a young Canadian reactionary, bidding fair to be the poor man’s Adam Yoshida, or perhaps the homeless man’s Ezra Levant, who tried to catch Ms. Malkin’s eye with some deep research:
@TwitchyTeam Look at @LemieuxLGM’s profile. “Perfesser” or professor? #SpellingMistake? #TheStateofAcademia pic.twitter.com/hG6pBQWT
An entertaining if somewhat broad parody of the typical Twitchy reader, thinks I. But further consultation of the gentleman’s twitter feed reveals the hilarious truth: he believes that me calling myself “perfesser” in my one line twitter profile indicates that I am unaware of the proper spelling of “professor.” (They’re coming for you next, Edroso!) And WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE STATE OF MODERN ACADEMIA, I ask you? Unless this guy’s mother also helped create the Lewinsky scandal I don’t think he can quite cut it at the National Review, but he probably has an internship waiting for him at Col. Mustard’s place.
In conclusion, I believe that “perfesser” lacks gravitas. I now demand to be referred to as “Herr Doktor* Lemieux.”
*Note to any Michelle Malkin fans: I do not think this is the proper English spelling of “doctor.” I regret the confusion. Also, I do not think William Jacobson is a character from Clue.
Are you a perfesser of dangeral studies?
Between Loomis and Lemieux, this whole blog is turning into a freakin’ Dangeral Studies Jamberoo.
wjts, I’d like to buy your rock.
Don’t bet on it.
Oh, I think the one thing that Jacobson lacks is a Clue.
“One thing”?
The most important thing anyway.
Frau Jacobson has been heard to describe her man as “Mrs. Pea Cock.”
Pfft. “Her” has only one “r”, “doctor” is spelled with a “c” and if you think that Michelle Malkin will let you be her doctor, forget it. She doesn’t need any doctor. Have you seen her cheerleader video?
I did and I needed a doctor for severe nausea afterwards.
Between The Donalde and the hordes at Twitchy, you, Dr. Loomis, and the whole LGM crew have a shot at wingnut immortality.
(I’m merely evil, though that does comfort me on cold nights.)
It’s all very exciting.
Reading the comments over there did make me think, though, that our production company, even if that basically amounts to me at the moment, needs a name, you know:
Someone more clever needs to come up with something more clever.
It should be clear which of those I support.
For Erik’s, Control of the Means of Production Productions?Or Historical Dildos Productions?
Coffee-Drinking Elitist Productions?
I like Control of the Means of Production Productions a good bit.
Traditional Pancakes on Stick Productions
Chafed Walrus Productions.
You’ve won my vote if we’re voting.
Syphilitic Walrus, shurely?
Goo goo ga joob
Nowadays they cycle down through a few different nouns, like:
The site itself may become the Wingnut Mordor!
It’s amazing how old dutch looked to me then; now that i’m within a decade or so of his age then, he looks much younger!
Most dangerous, eh? These
doctorsDoktors would like a word with you!Doctor #1
Doctor #2
I thought Berube was the most dangerous, but maybe those other guys qualify, too.
I was dangerous by the much lower standards of aught-six. But this is a whole new order of dangerosity … there’s just no comparison. It’s like, how much more dangeral can you get than LGM? And the answer is none. None more dangeral.
Don’t sell yourself short; your efforts had a hand in correlating LGM’s dangerealness.
And here I thought that to everyone I meet, I stay a stranger.
You’ve got the wrong man, mister! He spells his name “Danger”!
Then how about “No Anchovies Productions”?
Audrey Farber?
Personally, I’m shocked Doctor Doom didn’t make the list ahead of the Sorcerer Supreme. Though perhaps you are arguing that the title is an honorific? I admit it’s not clear to me whether he actually finished his dissertation before embarking on world domination.
So many doctors, so few links in any one comment!
I share your outrage. I seem to remember Stephen Strange expressly turning down a teaching position following the car accident that robbed him of his surgical talents. He was never a professor of any sort.
I think Curt Connors might have taught at ESU for a while, though. THERE’S a dangerous professor.
I’m pretty sure Doctor Octopus earned it.
I know a lot of liberals, like Balloon Juice’s DougJ, enjoy trolling conservative blogs… but I don’t feel like we have the same unified command and control “Fly, my minions, FLY!” thing going on. I guess they feel like they are edumacating* the masses or whatever but it just seems like such a colossal waste of time to crash en masse into an opponents comments section. I suppose the virtual high fives they give each other after much be pretty special.
*Note: Purposely misspelled by the author
If it would give liberals something to argue about with each other, then you’d see some action. Otherwise, can’t be bovvered.
The above was me. Musta cleaned out all of my cookies or something.
Sometimes I really feel sorry for Malkin’s followers. They’re so easily mislead, so gullible, and yet so vociferous. It feels like taunting a developmentally disabled kid to get them riled up about something.
On the other hand, I’m definitely looking forward to finding out exactly what kind of countertops Scott has!
i have no sympathy at all, for people who are intentionally ignorant bigots. if i thought they were simply uninformed, that would be one thing, but they aren’t, they very intentionally ignore any information that doesn’t comport with their world view. malkin is just another rightwing grifter, happily siphoning cash from the rubes. or maybe she’s finally reached a place where she actually believes the bullshit she spouts, and happily takes their money. either way, it doesn’t matter, it’s bullshit, and her fanboys are intentional rubes. oh, and they’re never going to see her naked.
I do hold out the possibility that they are merely severely brain damaged as a result of their mothers dropping them on their heads as infants. From a tenth floor window. Repeatedly.
Actually, I think it is spelled “Perfessuh”.
Holy shit, a quick Google shows that Adam Yoshida was probably still alive as of Sept. 1 2012. I thought the dude died from a erotic asphyxiation accident sometime around 2007!
“Neoconfederate hack” is putting it mildly. Judge Sentelle is the one who gave us Kenneth Starr as the special prosecutor invetigating Clinton, having concluded that Robert B. Fiske, a Republican and experienced prosecutor who had already found no wrongdoing in several aspects of Whitewater, was insuficently objective.
“Lemieux” is an obvious typo.
It definitely needs umlauts.
Clearly, it should be ‘Lepire’, but you’d need to know French to know that….
Well, all the boys call him Herr Doktor Professor Lemieux. But the girls all call him a little ol’ lovin’ man …
That would be, Herr Professor Doktor; get it right.

(who had a cousin with that title)
That may be how they roll over in Yurp, Dude, but not here in the Land of Freedom™.
I think it might be antiquated now (God, I hope so), but the wife of a PhD can be addressed as “Frau Doktor” (Mrs Doctor) in German. Theoretically, if she herself has a doctorate, you could call her “Doktor Frau Doktor So-und-so.” My mother claims to have been so addressed in correspondence from some German fuddy-duddies. I am skeptical, but those guys were really formal. – it could have happened.
You are invited to abandon your skepticism–that shit’s real. The first part anyway. If the woman has her own Ph.D. or M.D., then she would still be called Frau Doktor _____. The real fun is when you have somebody who has two doctorates: such people are, I shit you not, called Frau/Herr Doktor Doktor _______.
Cheers,
Alan Tomlinson
“Doktor” or “Doktorin”?
Doktor. I know, it was formerly declined by gender; no longer. At least in my experience. Besides, when you hear the word Frau, it is sort of assumed that the person being discussed is gender identifying as female.
Cheers,
Alan Tomlinson
Mostly you would say Herr Doktor or Frau Doktor or Fred.
Where it got to be fun, was when holders of non-EU PhDs were hauled into court in ~2008 for using a title they were not entitled to.
Strictly speaking the German degree is not a PhD, so folks style themselves Herr Doktor Fred Fred rer. nat.
Indeed, who can forget Frau Doktor Doktor Gimmi Thenüs?
Or Herr Doktor Doktor Kantu C. Aimbürning-Bürning.

Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Panties…I’m sorry…Schumann, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Bach. Names that will live for ever. But there is one composer whose name is never included with the greats.

No one who speaks German could be evil!
That’s Dutch, dude. Geez.
Niederländische is just another German dialect.
Don’t tell them…
People are irrational. There are even some who – for whatever possible reason – deny that Yiddish is just another german dialect.

How do I tell a doubly doktored frau that I have a bad case of loving her? Formally?
“Doctor, Doctor, can’t you see I’m burnin, burin”
But you knew that, didn’t you…
A bad case? Use the genitive rather than the accusative.
Oof! Did not see that coming.
I know you like it, you like it on top
Tell me, momma, are you gonna stop?
Maybe perfesser was an honest mistake, but what about your article “B-Yond tha Contra-majorit-aryan Difficultee: Lesons From Deemokratik Theeree?” And that got published!!!! #TheStateofAcademia
Now this is amusing. From a 2010 Supreme Court oral argument–the Chief Justice wonders why the NLRB doesn’t have a quorum:
‘CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: And the recess appointment power doesn’t work why?”
Shorter
“Fucking Magnets, how do they work?”
No, more like–”Go ahead and fill the positions by recess appointment, as the Constitution allows.”
“John Roberts: I can stop Obama from appointing people? It’s clear to anyone who has done deep studying – which I now have – that this is unconstitutional!”
I apologize for my prediction yesterday coming true
Thanks for including Ezra Levant. He deserves it.
Meh, one of the Power Line guys bought his kid a job at NRO. Their standards have fallen.
Well, Lemieux, you are vulnerable on the spelling front.
Michelle Malkin? You mean the Kapo wannabe?
More inexplicable Mses.
If that is true, I cannot believe the philosophically pure reactionaries at Ms. Malkin’s corner of the internet did not immediately call him/her out. As I love pointing out to my “Conservative” family, friends and co-workers; we are pretty much all socialists up here…..at least compared to the idealogues you have down south.
I can only conclude that this chap/lady is really an American who has just come off a vacation in some other part of the world that he did not want to be identified as a US citizen.
Plus, his SHIRT is horribly WRINKLED!!
I rest my case.
Scott Lemieux reads BOOKS, and his TIE is not a clip-on.
And we can only infer it from the provided photo, but I’m sure his gut is almost as disgusting as Michelle Malkin’s opinion on anything. FFS!
Needs to get some of those permanent press dress shirts. Or a dryer with a tumble function.
