I have spent four blissful decades of admirable and uninterrupted service bringing lying sacks of crap to truth and justice in both major political parties of the nation... having helped pull down the pants of more than one overly vain Brook's Brothers stuffed-shirt, Bruno Maglia wearing politician in my lifetime (think Randy "Duke" Cunningham for example). The cause of saddle sores and festering boils on the butts of many of the self-important rulers and leaders of America since 1965. First meaningful cause: Assisting in upholding the honor of fellow sailor Cmdr. Lloyd "Pete" Bucher during the attempted cover-up of the USS Pueblo affair (the Air Force sucked then as did again on 9/11 and the Navy brass covered their collective ass). Proud and unapologetic black sheep of the family with an inordinate abundance of wool. Favorite saying: "Don't look twice -you'll get confused." Oh!

  • He's baaaaaack....

    I'm sure someone who was born in the early 60s is no doubt speaking from first-hand eyewitness accounts of Bobby Kennedy.

    Oh! I forgot this fella has read it in a book or seen it on TV or heard the family's anecdotes 'round the dinner table.

  • Warning: Grumpy Alert!

    For you newbies that I don't recognize 'round these parts, I first logged into TPM Cafe in June 2005.

    Let me say, at no fault of your own you don't have a clue what you're missing.

    As pointed out in my initial and only blog post when this new and improved mess came on line, "This messed up joint has lost something in the translation."

    And it's still speaking Chinese as far as I can tell.

    Still no comment preview option. No comment edit feature. And no personal blogs archived from the previous Cafe site.

    Keep up the good work there Andrew. It's a hard job of stringing the folks along with all these little changes, but someone has to be paid to do it.

  • Here cr1992:

    I've rewritten what I left earlier so as to be more decipherable for a person from, as you say, true red-neck country.

    Enjoy!

    ObamaDupees?

    Is done do's recently come t'mah attenshun thet we sh'd treat th' Anti-Obama clones fatuous peuplade fo' whut they are, a stuck-up group of so'did, intelleckually challenged lazy as a houn'dog does nothin's.

    Here's a quick review: They postess no significant intelleckual skills whutsoevah an' haf no interess in erudishun. Hell, this hyar particular one kin't even spell o' define erudishun much less 'chieve it.

    Misguided trouble-makers like these is not only annoyin', but they commonly lack th' se'f-corntrol necessary t'confo'm their behavio' t'reasonable no'ms. Communicut wif them? It's like tryin' t'make sense wif a houn'dog whinin' in a cardboard box.

    In sech a brief comment as this, ah sartinly kinnot refute all th' sophomo'ic smear tackics of babblin', vexatious nabobs of revanchism but perhaps ah can brush away some of their most deliberate an' flagrant reinterpretashuns of events.### But whuffo''d ah waste th' time on a waste of time?

    I's jest too bad thet th' wo'ld is not free of petty, arrogant sideshow barkers. But af'er six decades on this hyar dirt ball hurtlin' through th' unyverse ah's not surprised thet thar is folks like these who waller in th' demonizashun of all who does not agree wif them, dawgone it.

    I appreciate the candor used in your self-evaluation.

    To whit:

    > > "Oh, dumb ass . . ."

    I'd agree, but that's just too easy an opening.

  • ObamaDupees?

    It has recently come to my attention that we should treat the Anti-Obama clones fatuous peuplade for what they are, a stuck-up group of sordid, intellectually challenged lazy do nothings.

    Here's a quick review: They possess no significant intellectual skills whatsoever and have no interest in erudition. Hell, this particular one can't even spell or define erudition much less achieve it.

    Misguided trouble-makers like these are not only annoying, but they commonly lack the self-control necessary to conform their behavior to reasonable norms. Communicate with them? It's like trying to make sense with a puppy whining in a cardboard box.

    In such a brief comment as this, I certainly cannot refute all the sophomoric smear tactics of babbling, vexatious nabobs of revanchism but perhaps I can brush away some of their most deliberate and flagrant reinterpretations of events.

    But why would I waste the time on a waste of time?

    It's just too bad that the world is not free of petty, arrogant sideshow barkers. But after six decades on this dirt ball hurtling through the universe I am not surprised that there are folks like these who wallow in the demonization of all who do not agree with them.

  • I have a lapel U.S. flag pin.

    Sent to me by none other that President Richard M. Nixon.

    Embossed with the words, "Peace with Honor."

    I proudly and patriotically wear it.

    Upside down.

  • Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!

    Same crap, different month.

    Same tech problems nothing fixed.

    Looks like I'll have to give it another month or two.

    Hello to all who I have bugged over the past 2 1/2 years.

    Josh -- Your intentions are good. It's the implementation, or lack thereof, that sucks.

    It's back to the boat for the ol' Decoy here.
