Saturday Morning Headline Roundup

Why would O want to beat his “meet”? I sure wouldn’t if I were married to MO.

RE: Beck and O’Reilly threesome with Facism

a) Do they know what it means?
b) Who used the falafel/loofa?

The New York Post actually serves a useful purpose – when I see it laying in front of various apartment doors in my building, I know to avoid those people like the plague.

See also The Official George W. Bush Presidential Librarium.

At least it was French and not some sort of racist ebonics/Jar-Jar Binks type voice. Which quite frankly I thought it was until I had about 30 seconds and another sip of strong tea to stare at it.

Oh, and David, you have given me a mental image that is so wrong on so many levels. It may be a heroin day.

@homofascist:

Word.

O’Reilley and Beck are waaaaayyy too incompetent to be effective fascists. Now, Falangism maybe….

@Tommmcatt the Wet Sprocket: Awesome pup.

@homofascist: It took me several sips of my coffee with Bailey’s to figure out that was the letter O and not a zero. That editor should be shot at sunrise.

Also, my Little Orphan Annie secret decoder ring informs me that this headline actually says, “Don’t forget to drink your Ovaltine.”

@flippin eck: “O” is Oscar Robertson. Obama should have so good a career.

That’s no headline. That there’s a txt msg

@lynnlightfoot: Exactly. Maybe they’re trying to appeal to the kidz.

Oh God! I finally convinced WordPress to give me a new password and then actually allow me to use it! Phew, that was a process.

And speaking of news that will turn your stomach, I trust you all saw that one of our favorite law professors found love on the internet and decided to share the details with the NYT, right?

The tale of Meade and Ms. Althouse is a cross between the studiedness of a Victorian epistolary courtship —a modern-day Robert Browning googling his dear Elizabeth Barrett — and the wackiness of 21st-century life online. The Althouse commentariat would log into the virtual local pub of the blog, gossiping and fantasizing about their queen’s offline love life, and even egging the couple on. When the announcement finally came, the commentariat cheered, bursting with hometown pride that a humble, anonymous son of the Internet could win the hand of the blogger.

Whoop! There goes lunch too!

@BRB: OMG. To quote my avatar, “Tonstant Weader fwowed up.” Who wrote that tripe? What editor thought it was appropriate to publish in the NYT, even in the Women’s “Style” section?? I cringe for everyone involved.

I think Fox Nation made a typo–what they meant to say is O’Reilly and Beck Take Over Fascism.

@BRB:

When the announcement finally came, the commentariat cheered, bursting with hometown pride that a humble, anonymous son of the Internet could win the hand of the blogger.

Eh… this is Ann Althouse we’re talking about, right? They make it sound like something to celebrate.

@BRB: God I hate the NYTimes. I have to go to the city on Monday. I’ll throw a brick at the building when I get out of Port Authority.

@ManchuCandidate: As regards the loofah, I would imagine that they would use it as a double dong dildo with Beck crying through the whole thing and O’Reilly raging on about his tiny, tiny penis.

T/J Just came across this beautiful quote from Victor Hugo I thought others might enjoy: Religion is nothing but the shadow cast by the universe upon human intelligence.

@Serolf Divad: The expression on her face in the accompanying picture is also simply insufferable. “Yes, I am the Queen…..and the Princess. Drink me in, you jealous feminists!” Or, as the overwrought prose of the article puts it, “The blogger is boss, a salon host with wit and whip.”

*shudder*

@Serolf Divad: I wonder how many boxes of wine they’ll need for the wedding.

@Serolf Divad: And just to catch you up, I had some fun with Ms. Althouse here.

@BRB: @Serolf Divad: @Mistress Cynica: I’ll take our brand of ridiculous internet/blog drama any day over that ridiculous soft-focus romantic bullshit.

@homofascist: Does that mean this is the wrong moment for a Special Announcement regarding me and Libertarian Tool?

@blogenfreude:

I doubt if any blogger will disagree with my assertion that, coming from Bill Clinton, the “O” of an onion ring is a vagina symbol.

Oh, my… oh, my. This is one of those statements that defies all attempt at parody.

@nojo: Flying to Des Moines, are we?

@nojo: How does Mrs. Tool feel about this news?

@SanFranLefty: I think she started growing suspicious when we shared our mutual envy of Andrea Mitchell.

@nojo: @SanFranLefty: Dammit Nojo! We agreed to wait on the announcement until after we picked out the crystal pattern. I am now going to insist on Ron Paul officiating the ceremony.

@libertarian tool: You kids let us know where you’re registered.

@Mistress Cynica: If it’s at Amazon, I’ll be very suspicious.

New York Post

O to Euros:

Be Mes

Amis Again

I made this discovery using my secret decoder ring. Anything revealed?

@EffeteHipster: OBMAA? So it’s a tampon (OB) and the sound a sick kitteh makes (Maa)?

@libertarian tool & @nojo: You really need to register at someplace like Hemp Palace. Libertarian and liberal can agree on the need for the decriminalization of pot and hemp. Can I officiate if Ron Paul’s busy?

@EffeteHipster: I hear the sound of the boldface letters being shuffled and the anagram OBAMA arising from the Scrabble heap. Omigod, the Post is secretly an admirer of the Prez!

@EffeteHipster: @lynnlightfoot:
Of course. Your typical leftist false flag pseudo-paranoia. You think I don’t see through this little charade? You are dealing with a Paultard here. I see the patterns within the patterns. And the deception was so clumsy so… amateurish. Am I to really believe that EH simply “forgot” to boldface the “E” in Euros before the scrabble shuffle? Really? Really? Give me a break. I’m not an idiot you know.

If we put the “E” back in the mix we get to the real transmission from the Post. “AMOEBA” – “An animal composed of only one cell that has no fixed shape. It is the best known of the single-celled animals, or protozoa. The term amoeba is sometimes used to refer to something with an indefinite, changeable shape.”

The real meaning here is intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer. I don’t think I need to say anything more.

@libertarian tool:

But wouldn’t the word AMOEBA imply some sort of belief in evolution?

Signed,
Curious but Not Really Caring Because I’m Watching an Insane Mexican Soccer Game that Makes March Madness Look Like an Easter Egg Hunt

/not sure why my inner German took over the signature line

@libertarian tool: TAMOEBA?

@mellbell: prepositions don’t count.

@SanFranLefty: Libertarian and liberal can agree on the need for the decriminalization of pot and hemp.

Whoa, whoa, whoa — Liberal? I’m a pragmatic anarchist.

And Hemp Newspapers are the obvious solution.

Wanda Jackson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tonight. Her story and performance reduced me to tears. I’m just a rockabilly fool at heart. Some guys called Metallica also got in. Celebrated with a bottle of ozzie shiraz. Chilling with the new u2 (excellent road music btw) and a Dos Equis now in my pad. The Wanda Jackson documentary I saw a while back that made me a fan should not be hard to find.

@libertarian tool: Listen here, you libertarian tool, you, are you trying to say that Our President is a shape-shifter?

On another topic (but still having something to do with shape-shifting, however tangentially), do we correctly deduce from your having the same avatar as Hose Manikin that we may expect, down the road, more mitotic descendants from this same line, differing only in name, protective coloration, and the tropism of their pseudopodia? In other words, are you a shape-shifter, too?

@libertarian tool: After writing the previous comment, I got out a magnifying glass and can now see that the animal shapes contained within the yin/yang symbols in the avatars used by you and Hose Manikin are not the same. My bad, I guess, or is that difference merely an extension or a further refinement of your shape-shifting propensity?

Dear Nojo,

As of yesterday or maybe even as of Friday, whenever I submit a comment, the Click to Edit line appears, sans timer, and remains (along with the capability of altering the submission), seemingly in perpetuity. The same thing is happening with the comments of Effete Hipster (with whom I share a computer, along with much else). We use a Mac with OS X, version 10.4.11, maybe we have missed out on an update of some kind?

@lynnlightfoot: I really can’t help you with this. Hose Manikin and I are not on speaking terms.

@lynnlightfoot: We use a Mac with OS X, version 10.4.11, maybe we have missed out on an update of some kind?

10.5.6, but that’s not the answer…

The commenting software was updated, and the update somehow screwed with the functionality of, well, editing comments. The only solution was to turn off the timer.

@libertarian tool: See, libertarians can’t even get along with their other personalities.
