didn't think this one through, did he

Well that headline likely refers to the two war-supporting, Bush apologists from the Brooking Institute who the administration sent to Iraq to get piggy-back rides from Gen. Petraeus, and who came back to provide the "even these feerce librul critiks think the Serge is werkin" meme. The fact that the media still buys into this suggests a high Midichlorian count in the Executive Branch.

thanks for mentioning those brookings stooges. saw both of them on various shows/in various articles talking about how great iraq is doing, i've only noticed crooks and liars talking about how full of crap they are.

wikipedia says the brookings institution is traditionally considered liberal. unh?

they were, not so much anymore

when the history of this age is written, I hope that attention is paid to the tribal epistemology and completely unconscious adoption of postmodern relativism by those who spent decades decrying it.

I'm confused - things are going so well the Iraqis are kissing our asses... or the damn dirty lib'ruls have so constrained our troops so they're forced to "kiss <towelhead> ass"?

kind of amazing how she keeps up the naughty hipster librarian look even in body armor

otherwise mr. muir would not be able to yank it to that cartoon

sanctimony powered go cart? way to steal jokes from the simpsons, you creative genius, you.

haha stolen from ed begley jr. himself! not to mention that episode was like 8 years ago.

It does not surprise me that the duck completely misrepresented/misunderstood the new information on gray whales.

The countdown to cancellation continues...

Again, it's the impotent nashing of teeth against the dirty fucking hippies I find hilarious. That this guy has it to the point of delusion is even better. Sure, why not take out your angst of the collapsing of your heroes thru your colored pencil scribblings? Go ahead and deny the results of Neilsen ratings for the last coupla years if it makes ya feel better.

Again, is Muir going on as if this is way things are, or the way it should be? Or, again, is it a bit of self-delusion where the guy is trying to reinforce his delusion thru his scribblings? Hell, there's plenty of great guys over there doing great things, but there's also a lot of guys put thru the wringer and not doing such nice things.

CABLE NEWS: RELEVANT

durrr

this stems from old news, olbermann put o'reilly on the "worst person in the world" list about 500 separate times for being a liar and a shill, and o'reilly's only response, ever, has been to 1. threaten some radio call-in dork with criminal charges and police action for SAYING "KEITH OLBERMANN" on o'reilly's show; 2. talk about how much better his ratings are than olbermann's.

haha, rich media newsreaders are happy when their 401Ks tank. All libruls are!

Uh, doesn't the NYT keep publishing Michael Gordon's "My super secret sources in the military tell me that Iran has cooties..." pieces on the front page?

yup. not to mention a coupla years of Judith miller, or the folks on the op-ed pages.

didn't the NYT basically con everyone into believing the 'intelligence' on iraq and get us into that fucking war? isn't the NYT the paper than recently ran that brookings instution shite-piece ("a war we just might win") about how we just another six months/year/six years/century in iraw to make it work?

soooooooo fuckin liberal.

iraw, iraq, if it starts with ira- we'll bomb it.

"can't government engineers and bureaucrats do anything right do their jobs for free?"

What the fuck. As if it isn't within the government's purview to upkeep roads. Yes, let's privatize road building and upkeep. That will certainly go very smoothly.

dood didn't you hear those privately run schools and prisons are kicking ass

aha, if I go back a couple of days that earlier one makes complete sense - clearly we need Iraqi tort reform.

PLEASE MOVE UR ASS AWAY FROM THE CAMERA

i stepped away from this thread for two weeks and am just agog at the cavalcades of LAFFS

Jesus, the first panel of that Obama one, with the gun in the holster labeled IRAQ . . . I mean, you need a team of PhDs just to unpack the bullshit in these peoples' worldview.

Hey, Chuck Asay, here's a big fuck you from Minneapolis.

Even in androgynous body army, still shines through the Mad Ass For Days.

Chuck Asay is easily the worst of this lot.

when the history of this age is written, I hope that attention is paid to the tribal epistemology and completely unconscious adoption of postmodern relativism by those who spent decades decrying it.

pls to explain what this means

what i mean is that modern american politics is tribal(blue state/red state bullshit, for example), and there are plenty of people who have had the "media is biased, and therefore untrustworthy and to be discarded" thing drilled into their heads that they can only believe certain media outlets that agree with what the Party is putting out.

the postmodern relativism bit refers to people only believing in things in certain people report them. Stephen Colbert understands this better than almost everybody else nowadays(check his interview with the Onion). It's the attack of "objective media" by people who would happily replace fact with opinion, which, as guys like Chris Hedges write, is a big step towards American Fascism.

But more later, when i've sobered up.

I think you're pretty articulate drunk actually.

http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/080907.jpg

haha, don't you see?! all it takes for one of those bleeding-heart terrorsymp whore/media-type to come around to the 28% way of thinking is to actually go there and see all the schools we're painting! It's as plain as day! And we must viciously attack anyone who says otherwise, be they a soldier or not.

OMG I would so hang that portrait in my house.

I would want the word bubble protruding over the frame & everything. It's fantastic.

I love the hair through the halo

re: Postmodernism in Batshitistan. Where I see this is when radio/tv hosts keep pushing a discredited meme with the knowledge that their audience is unlikely to know or care that it has been discredited. Hannity is particularly bad.

Also, there's a strange focusing on one particular irrelevant detail to represent the whole--Global Warming can't be true because Al Gore has a high electricity bill. The O'Reilly campaign against YearlyKos is an example of this: pulling a few comments from a site with hundreds of thousands of contributers to tarnish the entire net roots.

I think a lot of the consumers of this stuff realize that the tactics used are underhanded, but believe that since their perspective is more morally pristine than the enemy's, it's okay to get their hands dirty. Hence them going insane over Dan Rather and not giving a flying f about Jeff Gannon (or Abu Ghraib--which was just a frat party!)
