Give War A Chance, The Next Generation

And it should be noted the eventual proof WAS in fact in the first speech I posted for Ponytail-- it just wasn't one of the sections I bolded and highlighted for Princess Ponytail's convenience.

So, once again, Princess Ponytail was wrong, but it's my fault, because in delivering information to her to correct her ignorance, I failed to properly highlight the sections which would disprove the nitpick she was about to quibble over.

Cal,

Yes, I know you were just inviting me. But you and the Ms DO have political reasons to want the economy to continue ooching.

Don't lie.

Even if you're not thrilled with the Democrat alternatives to Bush, you sure the fuck don't want a huge win for the Republicans-- not only would that deprive you of interest, but it would empower the RR types you find so "ick."

So spare me, okay, Cal? Why the fuck do liberals always have to insist they have absolutely no political bias in rendering any opinion, judgment, expectation or wish?

Oh, and spare me the "I'm a registered Republican" crap, too. Not funny. Never was.

yawn

enough

Look, Princess Ponytail, you're going to lose in 2004, and lose badly, so, you know, get your yuks while you can.

I can't wait 'till the Democrat candidates dismissively wave off the uranium centrifuge with a harumph.

That will sell well with the American people. That will really convince them that it's once again safe to vote Democrat again.

Ace, I will be voting for Bush, barring a vastly improved Dem candidate from the current clan (and not even Gore at this point). I have no political motives. I am very worried about the economy.

Your determination to see everything in political terms gets old.

Re-read my post, dearie. The fact that you may be voting for Bush by default does not mean you want the man to have a big mandate now does it?

And if the economy improves, he will have a big mandate, and then Katie, Bar the Door.

You know it. I know it.

Please. Give it a rest. I'm so sick to death of hearing about how fucking impartial you are.

Princess Ponytail--

What it means, sweetheart, is that I no longer consider you honest enough, intelligent enough, or interesting enough to correspond with on this point, or, more than likely, any other point.

You're like a fucking retarded three year old who cheats at Monopoly for six hours and then when your opponent walks away in disgust you cry out "Forfeit!" in triumph.

You forfeited. Sometime around the third restatement of your claims, sometime around the fifth backpedal.

Fuck off and die. I don't have time for insects like you.

MsIt,

"Princess Ponytail" is Rask, not you.

To you, I would say this:

Yes, they just knocked down the growth rate from 1.9% to 1.4%. Yes, that is not good growth.

Yes, I have political reasons to root for a strong recovery, just as you ahve political reasons to root against one. I never said otherwise.

That said, we have low interest rates, low taxes, a Fed ready and willing to inject more money into the economy if needed, lots of quarters of productivity gains, and energy prices about to drop. We have a lot of good conditions accumulating.

MsIt is forever misunderstanding and getting things wrong. She is, like Cal, a social retard. She's always making these silly faux pas.

Like a bull moose in a China shop.

Why the fuck would I call MsIt "Princess Ponytail"? If I wanted to insult her, I'd call her "Madame Moustache" or something. What's insulting, to a woman, about "Princess Ponytail"?

And why would I attack her like that straight out of the box?

But she just leaps to these asinine conclusions.

Her social retardation is endearing, in a way. Awkwardness can be cute.

Princess Ponytail,

*

Kiss my pinkish pucker.

Madame Moustache,

I aim to please.

"I've never seen Rask this disgraceful in approach;"

You didn't read him doing this, then. You skipped. Fine. But he did just this-- all the time.

if I had, I would have said so; and, I'm positive I never said "[w]hy are you picking on poor Rask or anything like it."

Nah, you never said that. It would be more of a tone. You and other people would come into an argument like this, not bothering to read it (and I can't blame you), and you would see these childish arguments about trivia, and you'd be like, "Hey, what is the fucking issue?"

And the issue would be trivial, indeed, but the triviality would have been injected by Princess Ponytail; we'd be arguing about just this same sort of idiotic parsing crap. And the tone of the newcomers would be, "Isn't this awfully silly?"

And yes-- it was awfully silly. Because I'm sitting here arguing with Princess Ponytail about past and future tense and whether the UN can disburden you of the responsibility for checking your intelligence.

And yet, I'd be taking the blame for it, for getting my dander up over these sorts of Chutes and Ladders level strategems.

My point? Before I left, when I would call Rask a Lying Faggit or what not, and everyone would tsk-tsk me for savaging poor Rask, it was because she was descending to this level of abject nonsense and being so insufferably arrogant about it.

Look, Goofus, bear in mind, you and Pincher are only now realizing that "Gee, Alistair, VonK, Jay, and Majori really don't seem to have the best interests of the United States and assorted Jews everywhere at heart."

I'm always ahead of the curve.

That's all I'm saying.

I went through this with VonK, too. And the heat I was getting was like, "Gee, but vonK is so polite."

Yeah, he's a polite guy who would rather have American soldiers die than Iraqis. A real fucking hero. Just the sort of guy I want to call "My Internet Buddy."

"The things you did for us."

Indeed. My opinon as to Rask, vonK, Alistair, Cock in the Mouth Jay, etc., hasn't changed in the least.

Your opinions did.

Such is the burden of always being so fucking goddamned right. Trouble is, you're right long before what I like to call the "Chickenbrain" intellects catch up to you.

"I backed up my reasoning on why I thought the Bush administration was using trumped-up evidence, but Clinton wasn't, and I backed up my reasoning of why Ace has not proven the claim that he highlighted."

Oh yeah, Champ, you're waaaaayyyy ahead on points. We're looking at a unanimous decision here.

"The burden? The burden of what? Being unheralded? Or having hot flashes. Shut up."

Hot flashes? What are you, a writer for Three's Company? Is this 1978? No, it is not 1978.

I'm not saying I'm smarter than you, Goofus.

I want YOU to say I'm smarter than you.

That's all.

I just want some fucking props for all that crap I took from ED and you and the like. About being "mean."

Yeah, you know what? I was meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaan. And when I was meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaan it was because I was wigging out over this level of kindergarten parsing bullshit.

EDIT: And yes, I agree with Tom's new line, Princess Ponytail was misled. It's a terrible, terrible thing.

I went Peter Finch (whatever that means-- perhaps a Network reference) when The Madmen misled me and thereby gaslighted me.

In a way, you could say we're all victims of The Madmen in one way or another. Me, Princess Ponytail, Saddam Hussein, Kurt Waldheim...
