The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

[Vosem]

Why exactly are you pitting two renowned economists against a duo of failed clowns?

I don't think I would call O'Reilly or Limbaugh 'renowned economists'...

Vosem's attempt to be funny are almost as painful as Tim Pawlenty's attempt to appear hip by saying how much he likes Lady Gaga's songs.

It can't be denied that your post in that thread is much, much funnier than mine.

To wit:

The concept of two Nobel laureates, who correctly predicted and analyzed the crisis, being "dangerous" just shows what a good job Fox News has done when it comes to brainwashing its viewers.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Vosem carries on in the fine tradition of posting directly into the Deluge.

Someone ought to carry the torch now that JJ is in his traditional post-election hiding (oops! I meant hiatus).

Why don't you just shut up? You only have 3000 posts, but they are all so painful to read that it feels like you have 300000.

The truth hurts.

You might have a stronger leg to stand on calling people who have won sort-of-Nobel Prizes 'failed clowns' by comparison to Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh if you weren't a snot-nosed, contrarian teenager who hasn't even been an undergraduate yet.

How did you know about my cold?

But, in all seriousness, I would have a stronger leg to stand on on any topic if I wasn't a snot-nosed, contrarian teenager. It's an occupational hazard

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

True--I was there quite recently myself. I hope your cold gets better soon.

this response arguably belobgs in either the comedy goldmine or good post thread.

Our betrayal and treatment of the Shah was the greatest moral and geopolitical travesty of the past fifty years.

Hopefully I shouldn't have to say why this belongs here.

Welln, it's true.  Democrats are constantly pretending that slavery, segregation, the KKK, etc. either were or are Republican institutions despite the fact that they were all Democrat institutions instead.  If Sigmund Freud examined today's Democratic Party, he would have to conclude that they are denying their party's racist past and projecting it onto Republicans.

You're posting in the right thread. Ideally, this should be the only thread you ever post in.

Oh, we're not denying our racist past. We know and accept that back then, 150 years ago, Democrats were racist and Republicans weren't (see Cathcon's Atlas US Elections thing). You're denying the Republican Party's racist or at least semi-racist present.

Only because they're not.  Why would they go backwards at the same time that society became less racist and Democrats became the party of sunshine and lollipops?  And it doesn't matter how long ago Democrats were racist.  What matters is that they were racist, and all but a few of the 20th century racist/segregationist Democrats stayed with the Democratic Party for life.

While I can't say I'm happy at the result of this election, I can at least be glad that in the US your right to free speech is taken much more seriously than in most of the rest of the world.

What's so bad about that post?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

For starters $95k/year is quite far from the average US household income.

I'm not sure why Dave even bothers with more threads than this one tbh.
