George Soros Launches His Own Blog

A joke, you ask?

Not a joke.

All too real.

I guess Oliver Willis just wasn't delivering the knockout punch for him that he'd anticipated.

Karol says blogging just jumped the shark. I don't know if that's true, but all of a sudden this does seem sorta lame. It's like having your crazy pony-tailed hippie uncle force his way into the basement when you're hanging out with your friends and then keep dropping hints that he'd be game for "tokin' some kind" and suggesting to your girlfriend that she can take off her blouse if she likes, as he's "perfectly comfortable with the nude human form."

And you're like, "Get the fuck away from me or I'm telling mom, and then I'm calling your goddamned parole officer."

Damn that Soros. I knew I should have never gotten a blog. It's just too "trendy."

Hmmm. I wonder what the next hot thing will be, something where I can get in on the ground floor, get ahead of the curve.

I know: people aren't wearing enough hats!

Cheers,
Dave

At least I can still get into porn. I think that's Soros-safe.

Don't tempt him.

If his blog was about speculation and investing, I'm sure it'd be massively popular and hugely important. It's a pity it's not.

Can you please another topic, I hate seeing this at the top of the page, it makes me feel ill.

Chomsky had to shut down his comments within days of the popular discovery of his blog. Anyone want to start a pool for how quickly Soros will do the same?

Days? Chomsky closed his comments within hours. Just as well really, keep people from interfering with his speshial thoughts.

Soros says he spend BILLIONS fighting communists. Ummm...wasn't he a communist when he was in Hungary?

How he describes acquiring his fortune is Clintonesque in its fabrications and pieces conveniently left out (his "Insider Trading" conviction in Europe, and his trashing of nations economies sending millions into poverty.

A #1 SCUMBAG!!!

BTW...guess who the Communist Party USA is endorsing? http:\\www.cpusa.org

I think we're related because that's my smelly uncle, too! Shmuely, are you Ace?

On his blog, no one can pick up on Soros' Strangelove accent, which is doubtlessly a turnoff in places besides, say, a vampire coven.

wow...I could be that uncle!!!

I'm assuming that the content on his blog so far has been put there for him by a minion. Be that as it may, I have a suggestion: Lord Soros, My Liege, may it please your grace to continue writing in the third person? The commoners, I am told, find it an endearing trait.

I never did think he was getting his money's worth out of Willis.
