10. "Yes"

4. "George W. Bush has lost seventy bazillion jobs"

3. "I have a mistaken recollection that was 'seared' into my memory"

You are hilarious. Stuck on Viet Nam and Cambodia again? Get a life, losers.

Go to this website if you need some enlightened discourse. But I guess you're too wimpy to challenge yourselves?

Nevermind. Go here, losers:

Maybe you'll understand why Bush has to be fired.

Posted by: Akefa on August 11, 2004 04:30 PM

Akefa, did you intend to include a link in that last comment? You might want to give it another go.

"Stuck on Viet Nam and Cambodia again?"

For as long as John Kerry makes it the centerpiece of his campaign, yes. If he's let it go, conservative bloggers would let it go.

Posted by: Sobek on August 11, 2004 04:31 PM

Ah yes, I've seen that. Basically, Atrios' hypersensitive reaction to a shirt - note, not the one Reynolds is actually wearing, but a similar shirt, you see - has made him a laughing stock.

I'll do a more thorough fisking on my blog. Should take half an hour or so.

Posted by: Sobek on August 11, 2004 04:34 PM

My memories? Seared.
So what if my details are
incorr... um, nuanced?

Ace, the greatness of your Top 15 list is seared into my memory.

Seared in memory
Christmas in Cambodia
I remember Dick

Shamed at Nixon's words

Seared in memory?

Posted by: Johnny Catbird on August 11, 2004 05:33 PM

Ok, my fisking is complete. Enjoy.

Perhaps Akefa can explain how knee-jerk charges of racism, based on invented facts, constitute "enlightened discourse."

And why GWB should be fired for a shirt he didn't design, endorse, sell or wear.

Posted by: Sobek on August 11, 2004 05:35 PM

It happened on his watch, Sobek!

Posted by: lauraw on August 11, 2004 05:36 PM

I had 3 children on his watch, perhaps I should sue him for child support. It is all his fault!!!!!

Posted by: Jennifer on August 11, 2004 05:40 PM

Ace:

Sorry to report, your repetitive moonbat schmuck filter is broken. Must be too technical to maintain.

Before I wander off to Sobek's place to enjoy the fisking, I'll wonder aloud what part of the entry Akefa pointed to is supposed to constitute "enlightened discourse". I read it the other day and found absolutely nothing about it that wasn't laughably loony.

Posted by: Patton on August 11, 2004 05:45 PM

I discovered the problem with Akefa's first attempt at a link. When I cut and pasted the sentence "go to this website if you need some enlightened discourse" into my blog, blogspot found a "close ref" mark at the end, but nothing at the beginning to indicate an actual link.

Granted, that's all pretty technical stuff...

Posted by: Sobek on August 11, 2004 05:48 PM

Jennifer, three kids during the Bush administration alone? Are you in a race or something?

Posted by: Sobek on August 11, 2004 06:03 PM

Sobek,

Your Kung Fisk is strong. I am impressed.

/poorly dubbed dialogue

Posted by: Brian B on August 11, 2004 06:54 PM

Brian,

It's not hard when the guy I'm fisking relies for his entire premise on people not actually looking at the shirt he's discussing.

Posted by: Sobek on August 11, 2004 07:07 PM

For the last few days, it's been fun debating with the pansies at Olliver's place. But with Cambodia, they've got nothin'.

NOTHING.

They know it's a lie and they can't even respond.

It's kinda sad, really . . . except that it's not.

Posted by: hobgoblin on August 11, 2004 07:27 PM

seared, SEARED in my mind,
Was I in Cambodia?
You bet, I might have.

Looks like Margaret Cho is in the news again.

Posted by: on August 11, 2004 07:44 PM

So now we have John Kerry in his magic hat on a secret mission to Cambodia w/ his flying dog.

Don't forget the flying dog.

Posted by: Golden Boy on August 11, 2004 07:53 PM

Jennifer, any twins or triplets in there or are you just really enthusiastic about reproducing?

To quote Groucho: "I love my cigar but I occasionally take it out of my mouth."

Posted by: Eric Pobirs on August 11, 2004 07:54 PM

Hah, he fooled all of you. He was "between Cambodia and Vietnam".
Never thought of that one, did you?!

Posted by: Donnah on August 11, 2004 08:50 PM

I just heard the most amazing BS spin from a Kerry supporter at my work: "See, Kerry's boat was in the Mekong River, and the water in the river comes from Cambodia, so he was in Cambodian water, which is like totally the same as being in Cambodia! Besides, Bush lied!"

Yes, she also has a lot of trouble filing in alphabetical order.

Ace, Ann Coulter may be your soul-mate:

"Kerry was in Vietnam for only four months, which, coincidentally, is less than the combined airtime he's spent talking about it. It takes a special kind of person to get that many people to hate your guts in so little time. The last time this many people hated one person after only four months was when Margaret Cho had her own sitcom."

Posted by: Joan of Argghh! on August 12, 2004 10:54 AM

Joan,

My favorite line is, "If memory serves, the last book Democrats tried this hard to suppress was the Bible."

Posted by: Golden Boy on August 12, 2004 02:41 PM

I don't know what the Senate rules are regarding sanctions or removal from office for unethical behavior, but shouldn't there at least be a Senate investigations of Kerry's lies in support of Communist insurgents in Central America. I mean he traded on his reputation as a war hero, and blatantly lied to support fricking Marxist scum. I think he should be removed from office.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.
