OK someone needs to come up with a political cartoon with Obama as Captain Ahab and Rush as the White Whale...
I vaguely remember this. Why did they stop paying the mortgage?
You know, it's a tragedy, but the cymbals-clanging primitive, the "Symbolman" primitive, has only himself to blame for it.
The cymbals-clanging primitive had a good established academic and work record, and could have made a mint of money, but chose instead to become a left-wing "journalist," pouring what money he had, and all of his hopes, into that "career."
The last three or four years, having exhausted his wife's resources (including the house in Hawaii), the cymbals-clanging primitive was dependent upon primitive donations for his "journalistic" efforts, and things were really tight.
Sadly, about the only coup the cymbals-clanging primitive managed to carry off was an interview with a fourth-level aide on the John Edwards presidential campaign, which in the scale of coups, wasn't much.
The cymbals-clanging primitive had chased this obscure aide from Boston to New Hampshire down to North Carolina, using up a lot of primitive donations on hotels, motels, and rented automobiles, and when he finally caught up with this minor functionary, all he got was a ".....no comment."
It's all very sad, so much wasted, for so little, if anything at all.
The cymbals-clanging primitive apparently once had a job flying over Alaska photographing the landscape and geographic features for some governmental agency; that was probably a well-paying job, and an exciting one, too.
I know I would've rather been doing that, than running around trying to practice "journalism."
It's all very sad, but we all make our own destinies.
The Atlas Shrugged President was a manufactured phenomenon and now they are looting the country as it collapses.
I support you in your auditions for becoming a DUFUer. I think PJ and Charles should give you a chance if they are somehow not able to do it one day.
“...managed to carry off was an interview with a fourth-level aide on the John Edwards presidential campaign, which in the scale of coups, wasn’t much.”
Ha. You can say that again.
And he blames Pres. Bush.
Thanks for the info.
Emo Philips bump!
Well, it is blocked from work and I don’t want to infect my home computers.....
I honestly don’t know why they stopped paying the mortgage, but the way I’m reading their post, it looks like they may have funneled so much money into “fighting the Bush regime” when they were flush, that they may have fallen behind a bit and were trapped when things went sour. So of course, it’s Bush’s fault.
See post #45.
Bookmarked. Good grief! Is this a wholesale changing of names, just because The Messiah won the election? I notice that at least some seem to be using their real names, now that they think they’re no longer in danger of being sent to Wal-Mart detention centers.
BTW, I, too am disappointed that HypnoToad changed his/her/its name.
That’s what I get for not reading everything before I post. Thanks, g2w!
I thought that phrase went out of style about the same time as the word "groovy". For some, I guess the "Summer of Love has never ended.
Ha. Believe me, I have the same issue.
What’s it been now? 24 business months or so?
Heh— boobooday’s academic paper is crap. See one DUmmies OneNote and Formerdittohead have to say—they tear his thesis apart.
Oh, please. Like the troops are smart enough to make that kind of decision.
And I can say that about our troops - I were one. ;)
God knows, we have plenty of contempt for them!
