You're Welcome, and I'm Rude

To all of you who have offered thanks for the Montana Weblog Awards, you are so very welcome.  Despite its time-consuming nature, I did enjoy it a great deal.  I spent two weeks obsessively reading all the Montana websites I could possibly intake, and have found value in most of them.  This is a terrific state, with terrific people who represent her online.  As soon as I'm able, I'll update my Montana links to reflect the sites I read most often, and delete those I just never go to anymore. I didn't want to do that during the poll, just because it would seem like some kind of tacit endorsement or denial.   Is that rude?  Delete is such a rude word!  Let's face it, I'm a curmudgeon, and after 2 weeks of trying to play nice, I'm in a mood to be rude.  I'm just gonna put my comments and additions  on the MWA to the back burner for a little while, and be rude.

Shorter Michelle Malkin:  I write all of my own posts ... except those that are written by Jesse.  Give it a fricken rest, Michelle.  You claimed to write all of your own material and then admit you don't.  You're a liar, a wanker, and this comes from a guy who doesn't hate you because you're beautiful (as your butt-snorkling worship monkeys would have it.) This comes from a guy who simply thinks you're full of shit.  And you just proved it, dear.

Worse still, Ms. Malkin, is that David Neiwert is completely eviscerating your latest bit of "work".  And the response from yourself and your little apish clowns has been ... total silence.  David isn't calling you names, or poking fun at your ethnic background.  He's just dismantling your delusions, piece by bloody piece. If you're really the darling of the right that you think you are, then answer his arguments.  You won't, I know.  It's too easy to gain prestige from the abuse, and put yourself in the path of the abuse again, because it gives you importance and you don't actually have to deal with the real issues of your life.  Battered women often unfortunately follow similar paths.

And to those of you out there who urge us all to ignore Michelle's ethnicity or gender when calling her on her bullshit, I have one response:  kiss my ass.  Some misguided sense of chivalry has led us to the point of trying to defend "polite speech" against a monster.  And that sense of chivalry was invoked by Michelle, herself.  I agree that calling her a "cunt" is ineffective, because it's ineffective as an argument in total.  But look at Zell Miller's defense of "that poor woman".  Uhhmmm, sexist?  Look at more than half the trackbacks to her "poor me" post.  Uhhm, sexist and racist?  No shit, Sherlock.  They're the ones bringing up her Filipino heritage and the incidental circumstance that she has a vagina.  That doesn't make her any less monstrous, and in fact, her manipulation of some moral inclination of her readers based on those coincidences make her more so.  In philosophical terms, she is to be reviled for the very qualities that she uses to defend her immorality.  You want to cut her some slack 'cause she's an Asian chick?  Go right ahead.  But quit telling me that I have to do so.  That just pisses me off more.

Folks, lay off the "empty" Politics jibe.  Craig, who Runs MTPolitics, is a great guy, and his viewpoint is far from empty.  I know it sounds clever, and I know it seems cute, but it's insulting to the guy who fostered the online presence of many of us in this state, and it's dismissive with no factual right to be so.  Furthermore, it insults Montana.  Our abbreviation is "empty".  Want to make a joke, fine.  I'll school your ass on that point.  This state is far from empty, and part of the point of the MWA was to show that very thing.  So just calmly back off the crap.  It ain't that clever.

To all of the rabid Bobcat fans out there (which I deal with daily), yes, you should be very proud of your football team.  I am.  They defeated a great rival.  But, for the love of God, quit promoting the idea that you have a share of the Big Sky Conference title.  You don't, okay?  If you have the same record as a team that holds the tie-breaker (for instance, they stomped your ass 35-14) then quit pretending that you are their equal.  You aren't.  Revel in the victory and move on.

And yes, it does matter that the Grizzlies made the playoffs and our team didn't, even though we beat them.  It matters financially to the school; it matters for recruiting; and it matters because they still get the opportunity to win a Championship ... which our guys will get to watch on television.  Quit telling me that it doesn't matter.  Yes, yes it does.  I would like to point out that one of the years that the San Francisco 49s won the Super Bowl, they lost 2 games all year long ... both of them to the Atlanta Falcons.  The 'Niners went 14-2, and the Falcons went 2-14.  Does that mean that Atlanta was a better team than the 49s?  Uhhhm, fuck no.  Please people.  Come back to reality, accept the victory for what it was, and quit with the "we rule" crap.  No, "we"don't.

And finally, to the individual who sent me the recap of the Cowboy's Super Bowl win over the Broncos, just remember that paybacks are a bitch. HeeHee.  We are so gonna gorge and yell and have a great time.  These ponies are gonna so kick your C'Boy ass.  In case I don't make it back before then, Happy Thanksgiving every body.

(Was that rude?)

Thanks for the kind word, old friend. Not necessary, but appreciated nonetheless.

As the guy in the movie said, "Some men, you just can't reach."

"And to those of you out there who urge us all to ignore Michelle's ethnicity or gender when calling her on her bullshit, I have one response: kiss my ass."

Are you disagreeing with Neiwert or someone else?

[Wulfgar]

Actually, Jeff, I am somewhat disagreeing with David. He has the time and wherewithall to take Michelle to task, with fully linked and polite analysis. Great. No problem. Except that he's just being ignored. And telling the rest of us that we can't butt in, 'cause we're not arguing in the "correct" way, is just arrogant and meaningless. He's protecting his intellectual turf, and I'm all for that. Problem is, he ain't the boss a' me, or anyone else. I think Malkin is evil, loathsome. Sometimes, you just have to pick a fight, in order to win against the vile. Erudite and excrutiatingly pointed linky jabs may not accomplish that. Pointing out, in sharply insulting and rude terms, that she's a lying righty suck-up might just have the desired effect. After all, that's what got her to admit that she's a liar about her husband's contribution to her web-wise fame.

[Jeff]

Did it, though? It looks like Malkin is conflating past insults she's received with the accusations by Malkin Watch and on the radio. Maybe those past insults contributed, but it certainly seems like her behavior can be explained by the fact that it's a subject she's touchy about (I'd be touchy too if I was being praised for writing material I didn't write).

Sorry if I'm making you repeat yourself, but I want to make sure I'm not attributing something to you that you don't agree with: are you approving of the sort of racist, sexist comments Dave is taking issue with?

[Mark]

I just thought some light trash talk was in order,Junior. See ya Thursday!

[david]

Nice takedown on the "MT" angle, Wulfgar.

[Wulfgar]

No, Jeff, I'm not defending the racist or sexist comments that Michelle so likes to promote as the only arguments against her. What I take issue with are those who see her as the lying windbag she is, and yet council that we all treat her with kid gloves, such that she have no ammo to fire back. Shit oh dear, if she has no ammo she'll make some up, and we'll still end up looking like sexist or racist hooligans. It doesn't matter if "we" play fair because she won't ... period. If someone wants to call her a cunt, or a bitch, or a self-hating asian whity-wannabe, I don't care. Really, I don't. Because she will call herself such, and attribute the insults to others, regardless. She is immoral, corrupt, and vile. Attacking such a creature while telling others what methods are acceptable for the defense is just ... silly. She is a proven liar. Telling those who would point that out that they may only do so in a particular manner is arrogant, and offensive to me.

And Mark, it's been a very long time since I have so looked forward to TurkeyDay. We gonna have fun, dude. That is, I will have fun when Anderson runs for 120 yards against the Texas star defense ... heheheheheh.
