…like watching someone set his hair on fire.

Jun 29, 2005 - 9:38 pm 2. JohnAnnArbor:

This continues the Democratic tactic of claiming to support “the troops” while simultaneously denouncing “the military.” Linda Foley tried to make that distinction a few weeks back, too.

Jun 29, 2005 - 9:40 pm 3. richard mcenroe:

The next time someone tells you the right suppresses dissent, tell them we never get the chance…

Jun 29, 2005 - 10:02 pm 4. asher:

Give it up, Ron. It doesn’t matter how you gyrate … I’m not gonna vote for you.

Jun 29, 2005 - 10:03 pm 5. Fresh Air:

Evidently Ron was upset there weren’t enough ecologically friendly drinking cups and hypoallergenic soaps for the prisoners to use after working out on their Cybex machines and Stairmasters.

Plus, there’s apparently only one masseur for the whole camp. And facials are only available on Thursdays. The horror!

Jun 29, 2005 - 11:54 pm 6. ShrinkWrapped:

We should take pity on the Democrats. They are twisting their minds into contortions trying to remain relevant and keep what vestiges of power they still have…

On second thought, since the only power they seem to have left is to obstruct and undermine, take no prisoners and make sure to ridicule at every opportunity.

Sadly, some day we will need a responsible opposition and they will be nowhere in sight.

poor baby tewwowists…were those mean National Guards people from New Jersey rude to you? Just cause you promised to dismember their children is no reason for them to touch your Koran without gloves on. poor baby tewwowists.

Really this is getting ridiculous.

Maybe tomorrow Sen. Weyden will re-correct back to his original–or would the original be the pre-visit?–position. Or is the post-visit, but pre-correction #1 (or, depending, correction #2), the correct “original” position? If not, then tomorrow’s correction would be a re-re-correction, of course. Or perhaps if so, I’m not sure, I have a headache. I mean, I’m sure I have a headache, but not sure about that other thing I was talking about before. Before the headache. Well, not “before the headache” (I had it before I mentioned it), but before I mentioned the headache.

Jun 30, 2005 - 6:36 am 9. richard mcenroe:

This is what he gets for going out in the hot Cuban sun without his nice KerryÆ Magic Hat to protect his brain from wrong thoughts…

Jun 30, 2005 - 6:40 am 10. Buddy Larsen:

That would be a copy Magic Hat, anyway–if you recall, Kerry always keeps the original fake Magic Hat in his briefcase.

Jun 30, 2005 - 6:44 am 11. c:

The article says that Dem Sens Wyden and Nelson were in Cuba “primarily to discuss new agricultural trade” with Castro’s Cuba. Only afterwards did they manage to mosey on over to Gitmo where they “ran into” the Republican Sens who were visiting expressly to see Guantanamo. Looks like Dems care so much about what a party leader and other Dems allege to be wretched and inhumane conditions there, that seeing for themselves is just fine, as long as they’re going to be in Cuba, anyway.

Accusations and condemnation- from the Senate floor. First-hand inspection and backtracking- a sidetrip and buried article.

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:04 am 12. Dymphna:

This a the special Democrat gift: praise the specific while condemning the general…as in “I support our troops but not the war.”

You have to have blue blood to understand this Alice-in-Wonderland thinking.

It’s all about posture, posture, posture.

Meanwhile, back in reality, the Israelis are the canaries in the coal mine:

Mushroom Cloud Over Tel Aviv

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:10 am 13. Buddy Larsen:

Exquisite covering of the ass, as well as all perceptions of the ass, not to mention possible future permutations of the position of the ass.

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:12 am 14. Dymphna:

Buddy..that’s gluteus maximus, boy. There some lady-like people here. Not real ladies, just lady “like” — kind of the way margarine is like butter.

Hmph.

~D

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:17 am 15. Buddy Larsen:

Yes’m…i sowwy….

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:23 am 16. Buddy Larsen:

Dymphna, your post on Gates of Vienna is chilling as hell on this morning’s news that the Iran Hostages are saying that the new Iranian President is one of the Teheran ringleaders of the ‘79 hostage crisis.

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:27 am 17. Baron Bodissey:

Buddy, that was no lady — that was my wife!

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:28 am 18. Dymphna:

Buddy, et al:

Prarie Fire has two photos of the Iranian dude:then and now. See what you think.

Photo

I think the nose is the same, and the lower lip. Who has a photo expert around?

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:35 am 19. richard mcenroe:

Just out of curiosity, did the gallant Senator actually say WHAT he didn’t approve of that he “inspected?”

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:45 am 20. Buddy Larsen:

Brow seems different–but, age, &/or lighting could account for that. Body type–shortish, wiry (I’ve seen the current dude on TV) are the same, as is the head ‘hold’–the neck length and angle. If it’s the same guy who had the gambling impulsivity to pull off the hostage crime, he’s a Terrorist with a capital “T” and willing to go all the way. Thank goodness we’ve been shipping a few KC-135s and Bunker-Busters to Israel. Batten down the hatches.

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:52 am 21. David Thomson:

ìSadly, some day we will need a responsible opposition and they will be nowhere in sight.î

Some day? Whatabout today? We always need a responsible opposition. I usually agree with the Republicans, but I still feel uncomfortable that they are now essentially the only game in town. The Democrats are losers possessing no good ideas of their own. Obstructionism is seemingly their only goal. Where is Joe Lieberman? Has he wimped out? The Democrats apparently have no leaders willing to tell the crazies to go to hell.

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:52 am 22. c:

Just out of curiosity, did the gallant Senator actually say WHAT he didn’t approve of that he “inspected?”

Of course not. After 500 more visits with Fidel and sidetrip inspections of three guards per, then the good Senator will be able to give us a complete report and his (hedged) verdict.

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:58 am 23. The Truth:

Your liberal media at work.

Jun 30, 2005 - 8:11 am 24. Bruce Wechsler (formerly Bruce W.):

Let me get this straight. Dymphna and the Baron B. are married, Shrinkwrapped and the Baron both post here and are also the first two [last look, only] commenters on the Gates of Vienna post.

SAT question: Are Shrinkwrapped and Dymphna related, and if so, how?

Jun 30, 2005 - 8:30 am 25. Dymphna:

Bruce W (formerly)

Yep. You have the Baron and me figured. But related to Shrink-wrapped? I wish! It would increase my IQ substantially…

Nope, I just like to lurk on his site. Good, thoughtful posts. He has the calm presence of a good analyst, plus a sense of humor.

~D

Jun 30, 2005 - 8:36 am 26. Baron Bodissey:

Bruce — Shrinkwrapped and Dymphna are not related. At least they’d better not be. (”Can’t watch your wife, and watch your outside women, too.”)

We both like his blog, though…

Jun 30, 2005 - 8:38 am 27. Buddy Larsen:

Baron, be sure and post a picture of the rolling-pin lump on top of your head after Dymphna reads the “outsde women” post, ok?

Jun 30, 2005 - 8:47 am 28. Baron Bodissey:

Buddy, do you know the whole quote (old blues song)? Approximately:

Gonna buy me a bulldog, watch my old lady whilst I sleep

Gonna buy me a bulldog, watch my old lady whilst I sleep

Cause women today are so crooked, she just might make that four-day creep

Can’t watch your wife, and watch your outside women too

Can’t watch your wife, and watch your outside women too

While you’re out with your woman, she’s at home, washin your clothes, cookin your food, doin you dirt — Buddy, who you try to fool?

Jun 30, 2005 - 8:57 am 29. Bruce Wechsler (formerly Bruce W.):

Baron: I’ll buy Dymphna’s denial. (Based on her blogger profile pic, she’s clearly saintly.)

What I’m not convinced about is the “Iranian: then and now” photos. But a fair number of the former hostages seem pretty certain.

As far as Israel taking pre-emptive action goes, that’s about as tough a decision as a leader can face. It would be much better to have a more sh_t-scared Europe on the side-lines when and if it happens (it won’t stop the public condemnations, but the real internal response will be relief),…but how long to wait until they are sufficiently terrified? tick..tick..tick.

Jun 30, 2005 - 8:59 am 30. Buddy Larsen:

So, Baron, good WiFi down at the ER, eh?

Jun 30, 2005 - 9:03 am 31. Bruce Wechsler (formerly Bruce W.):

Baron:

It’s a Cream Song (they recorded it at least)

Lyric is “make off ‘fore day creep”.

(i.e. before sunrise)

Jun 30, 2005 - 9:07 am 32. Baron Bodissey:

Yeah, the Cream version is the one I know.

I left off the first verse:

“You can lose your money, pray God don’t lose your mind

You can lose your money, pray God don’t lose your mind

But if you lose your woman, please don’t mess with mine”

Jun 30, 2005 - 9:26 am 33. Buddy Larsen:

Ahh…Disreali Gears…I can picture the album cover right now, laying there on the cardboard-box coffee-table, covered with candle-droppings, roach clips, burnt matches, scholastic-probation notices….

Jun 30, 2005 - 9:38 am 34. Baron Bodissey:

Buddy, you left off empty vodka bottles, used condoms, and syringes. Oh, and copies of ZAP comix.

Jun 30, 2005 - 9:50 am 35. Buddy Larsen:

Damn, Baron–you Virginny boys knew how to PARTAY!

Jun 30, 2005 - 10:47 am 36. Bruce Wechsler (formerly Bruce W.):

Baron and Buddy: I have no recollection of what you guys are talking about. (thank G-d the photos aren’t digital.)

Jun 30, 2005 - 11:02 am 37. Baron Bodissey:

Actually, I was in Maryland in those days…

And I left out the water pipe made out of a Skippy jar, the Whippets, tins of snuff, and the Whole Earth Catalog. Black-light poster of Che in the background.

Jun 30, 2005 - 11:28 am 38. Bruce Wechsler (formerly Bruce W.):

Water pipe from skippy jar…Did aggravated munchies ensue?

Jun 30, 2005 - 11:38 am 39. Baron Bodissey:

Definitely. Isn’t that an empty half-gallon of Sealtest butterscotch ice cream next to the table…?

Jun 30, 2005 - 11:57 am 40. Buddy Larsen:

We’ll never live it down–damn that LBJ and Nixon!

Jun 30, 2005 - 12:32 pm 41. Knucklehead:

Canned Heat and a little Hendrix fellas? Make sure you keep the barbs and the Jackson Browne under seperate lock and key as they are far too dangerous to mix.

Jun 30, 2005 - 1:12 pm 42. Baron Bodissey:

I keep thinking of things I left out! A lava lamp. Copy of “The Electric Koolaid Acid Test”. A frisbee.

“He had on penny loafers, purple bell-bottoms, and a protest button that said, ‘God is acid’.”

I defy anybody here to identify the source of that quote! Without googling it, that is.

Buddy, you really opened a can of worms…

Jun 30, 2005 - 1:21 pm 43. Dymphna:

Buddy has cans of worms?

I thought it was only his jokes that were canned.

Hmmm. A new side of Buddy.

Jun 30, 2005 - 1:48 pm 44. Buddy Larsen:

Ok, ok, I apologize for putting that rolling pin in your hand.

Jun 30, 2005 - 3:12 pm 45. triticale:

Note that worms are processed at the same cannery as whoop-ass.

Jun 30, 2005 - 5:49 pm 46. Buddy Larsen:

My red Beetle, sigh.

Whoop-ass, I guess Baron survived, we won’t have to send Greta Von Susteren.

(i’m gonna be sorry for that, aren’t i?)

Jun 30, 2005 - 7:49 pm 47. Songuru:

“He had on penny loafers and ah purple bellbottoms, and he had a huge protest button on that said, “God is Acid”, boy that piiiiissed me oooffff. Ah anyway I screeched a halt an I yelled out the window and I said ah “Hey… what you doing in my town buddy, that son-of-a-%#*!% was ignoring my existence, boy I hate that. So I leaped out of my ol’ Corvette and I, I trotted over and I proceeded to kick A@@ on the god%^*& son-of-a-%#*!%in’ morfidite, now I walked on his face and %#@! it was more fun than squashing tadpoles”

“I, Johnathan Abner Tobias Pissoff, in the presence of the universal god of salvation, do solemnly affirm that I’ve been chosen…. I further affirm, that although I’m decent god fearing man with family and property. Argh, I want to kill, rape, ravage, plunder, pillage, stomp, devour, destroy, hack, smash, flash, flish and bash, all queers, commies, shinnies hallies and hoonkies, all greaseballs, lockies, polacks, lepers and wetbacks, all bohunks, eggheads, fudgesicles and highslants, all poets, migs, frogs, queers, pipsqueaks, cajants, dwarfs, dipshits and teenage loose women. In the name of Jesus Christ this I do affirm”

“The Illiad” by Ed Sanders (BMI-Heavy Metal Music) from the album “Sanders’ Truckstop”

Classic music for expanded minds, you won’t hear this immersed in the corporate greed of exposed bouncing cleavage squeaking out “Opps, I did it again”

As our grandparents used to tell us of “the good ol’ days”

Found this blog trying to find the lyrics to this song which I’ve had for over 30 years now. Quite a song, I’m sure Baron B can attest to that.

Bravo Baron B, my hats off to you. Songuru
