Endgame

So we’ll scratch it all down into the clay:

— Sam Stein on NIAC, J Street, and their enemies.

— When do people resist occupation?

— The suburban slums of tomorrow.

— Manu Ginobili swats a bat, needs rabies shots.

— These kind of results make me feel sorry for Chris Paul — 32 points, 18 shots, 12 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 turnovers, 1 steal and the Hornets lose to a crappy Knicks team.

— Michael Goldfarb eases comfortably back into his typical posture of deliberate obtuseness and dishonesty.

Because I’m a nerd, here’s “The Mesopotamians” by They Might Be Giants of 2007’s The Else.

    I know correcting things is not your style, but your last link goes to a critique of Jeffrey Goldberg, not Michael Goldfarb.

    Why must you always hate on Larry Hughes?

    Intrade sez that the exit polls sez that Corzine wins.

    It’s not the offense that was wrong, it was giving up, what, 120 points?

  4. Njorl Says:

    As old Sabers or Flyers fans would know, you’re supposed to take out bats with hockey sticks, a la Jimmy Lorentz.

    Wait… people are betting on the exit polls? Do you get better odds on Corzine in the exit polls or the election?

    THE EMPIRE ITS OWN WORSE ENEMY

    [A Blog worth Reading & Joining the Discussion]

    Now, we had a chance to take a look at yet another column on [www.ThinkProgress.Org.], Reconstruction for the [USA] United States of America, under the Matthew Yglesias Blog. It turned out that is sort of split into two directions, well more, but it is well worth taking a peek at, the comments are pretty good, that is if anyone even reads this, which is nuts in itself, It boiled down to The American-Israeli Empire is its own worse enemy, The [EU] European Union and the Community of Nations, should look to their own defense.

    [Consummate Global Rogue]

    The American-Israeli Empire has come to be recognized as hands down the consummate global community of nations rogue and beyond being its own worse enemy is that of the entire global community, with its interest in profit, wealth and power, at the expense of the entire global community of nations. Not only has Germany declared the Iraq War an illegal war, those Un-Patriotic Tea Party, Americans living outside the Empire, also are declaring the entire Islamic Crescent War for Resources and Markets Illegal, caused by the stationing of Empire forces on the Saudi [Holy Soil] and/or anywhere on the Islamic Crescent. A war that has been paid for on The Red Chinese Credit Card, Don’t have a War without one. And, what did the Empire get in return, well for [$1T/€680B] One-Trillion Dollars/Six-Hundred-Eighty-Billion Euros, it has interest to pay, while The Peoples Republic of China have gained large oil concessions from Iraq, for having displacing as many as [4M] Four Million, wounding, disabling, tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens, while at the same time killing as many as [1M] One-Million. So what does the Empire do, why they just double down, and borrow another [$700B/€477B] Seven-Hundred Billion Dollars/Four-Hundred-Seventy-Seven Billion Euros.

    [Empire Military Contraction]

    Now, on the [700] Seven hundred some odd Empire overseas bases, in some [300] Three hundred countries especially those located within the [EU] European Union, well it seems the [EU] has little favor with the Tea Party Un-Patriotic Americans, and they feel that the [EU] is all grown up and should be out on their own, especially when it comes to their defense, and its time for the boys to come home [All of them] with the first base closings starting with the; [4] Four in Italy, [4] Four in Germany, and [3] Three in Spain and Portugal, and last but not the least the [5] Five in the [UK] United Kingdom, and not be in a rush to defend them when some tyrant threatens them, but to only become involved as it directly effects the national security of the Empire which most likely won’t exist in its present form. The other countries that this will send a cold shiver down their backs will be The Nationalist Chinese, The South Korean, and last but not least the [SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP] State of Israel.

    Maybe the Dickies’ Give it Back is really a secret allegory about Palestinian statehood.

    Tmbg are obviously amazing, but don’t quite prove your nerd credentials. Give us some Jonathan Coulton, then we’ll talk.

    Defense wins. See Celtics, Boston.

    Like 1. said, it’s Goldberg, not Goldfarb. Correct it already.
