LIKE ALFREDO SAUCE TO STUPID

By Oliver Willis

As a major player in the world of internet opinionization, it is perhaps unsurprising that there are a handful of hate sites, run by people, who will not be mentioned, who don't like me.

One of their chief complaints are that I delete comments that am personally insulting. Sometimes these comments am that I are not well at conjugating the verb "to are." Usually, though, these fall along the lines of calling me "fat," "fatso," "morbidly obese," "composed primarily of saturated palm oil resin," "a bloviating, vain, human cholesterol collection pond," "a gravy-addled socialist dimwit who hatred for Bush is only equalled by his gastronomic lust for Snickers." Woo-hoo, ha-ha, witty.

I pride myself on the fact that I don't make this blog into an echo chamber. On any given day, tons of people comment here that absolutley disagree with me - and they are free to post here. And that's my point. They are literally TONS of people, outweighing me by at least three hundred or three-fifty, but I don't see making fun of their collective weight issues.

I view this site like my front porch, and according tho the local building code, that porch can only take so 100 lbs. per square foot. I don't take those kind of insults in my own home, and with the rising cost of almond bark, I can't afford to put more re-bar in the porch supports.

Does anybody know where Michael Moore and Molly Ivins buy those stylish muu-muus? Tres chic!

It should be observed that whatever Kerry's plan for Iraq might have been, it has now been completely moot for two days.

So if he's waiting for the perfect moment to spring it on us, he's missed his chance.

I think Kerry, like Joe Biden, is an accomplished retroactive prognosticator.

Whatever the correct plan ultimately turns out to be, Kerry will be right there to assure you he was talking all about this two years ago.

Why, Aaron, I'm surprised that you don't know his plan:

Turn Iraq over to the U.N. Yes, yes--they have a government now--but that doesn't matter. We should still hand it over to the U.N. anyway. And once we've done that, we should hand ourselves over to the U.N. In fact, all national governments should be dissolved and everyone should submit to the U.N. directly. Then "the world will live as one". Efficient and unified. Exactly like a colony of ants.

Of course that's his plan (except when it's not). It has been all along (except when it wasn't).

Well, that's his real plan. Or darn close to it anyway. The flip-flopping is purely butt-kissing for different groups of voters.

Ace:
Not to get preachy... ok, I'm getting preachy. C'mon, Oliver Willis? That's so low-rent for you. Congratulations, you slammed O-Willis for not being funny and exposed him for the weak polemicist that he is. What's next? Kicking three-legged puppies and clubbing blind baby seals?
It's Oliver freakin' Willis for Ghad's sake. Who reads that guy? Why do you give a fradley fapp about what he says, eats or excretes? Like you noted, your traffic is way beyond his and growing. Choose your battles, man. Sure, you can rack the class nerd's head in the locker a few times but it only diminishes you. Unless of course you just want to give the guy free PR... and then I guess it works out like a charity case.

Go pick a fight with someone your own cognative size, like a Jonah Goldberg or a Nick Gillispe.

Stop! You had me at "Bite me".

I agree somewhat with Ron C. It's like pantsing a retard.

"It's like pantsing a retard."

And that is....wrong, right? And certainly...not funny? Really?
I really have to spend more time with good people.

Not to get preachy... ok, I'm getting preachy. C'mon, Oliver Willis? That's so low-rent for you.

Thanks. I'm glad I didn't have to be the one to say it.

Congratulations, you slammed O-Willis for not being funny and exposed him for the weak polemicist that he is. What's next? Kicking three-legged puppies and clubbing blind baby seals?

Mmmm... maybe.

Choose your battles, man.

I actually have been sort of thinking this way. Honestly, Oliver Willis is a rather small target at this point. It really doesn't do me much good to have a contrived sort of "radio shock jock" feud with him.

He really does annoy the shit out of me though. And the reason I've been picking on him since this blog started is that Instapundit promoted, promoted, promoted the living hell out of him, and every time I clicked on one of his links I had to read not-funny and not-interesting juvenalia.

Ironically, though, the expression of my anger at him for being undeservedly promoted by Instapundit has kept me, I'm pretty sure, from being linked by Instapundit.

As Powers Booth said in Red Dawn: "You've got a lot of hate in you, kid. One day that hate's gonna burn you up."

I'll take your advice and cut back on mentions of Oliver Willis. (Sorry to those who want me to keep pounding him.) I might mention him if he says something particularly egregious, but I'll go back to ignoring him.

(If you didn't notice, my Willis references have become fewer and fewer until this latest episode. He really just annoyed me for criticizing Allawi for considering imposing martial law after he bitched and whined about the need for security on too many occasions to count, and probably called for something akin to martial law during the famous Baghdad Museum looting.)

Ace,

Why not consider pounding on ol' Insty for a while? After all, he's the doofus linking people like Wonkette. Anybody who can even go looking for someone like Wonkette, much less intentionally link her, has to be open to some criticism.

poker me up

vudokh gykf.

I have to say, picking on Ollie the Marshmallow, or "Marshie" as I like to call him, is like kicking sand in the face of the fat kid with man-teats at the beach, someone has to do it, if for no other reason, because of that moronic smirk he wears It is the smirk of someone who is so totally wrong that he thinks he must be right. Have at it.
