The Very Smart Jon Stewart, Who Tells You How Much Smarter He Is Than Bush Every NightFrom Drudge: FLASHBACK: Stewart, during commencement address at the College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, blasted Bush and war: 'We declared war on terror. We declared war on terror - it's not even a noun, so, good luck. After we defeat it, I'm sure we'll take on that bastard ennui'... "Terror" isn't a noun? When did this happen? I thought nouns were persons, places, or things, and terror would seem to be a "thing." Main Entry: ter·ror Pronunciation: 'ter-&r Function: noun Hmmmm... Merriam-Webster doesn't seem to have gotten the Stewart update on terror's new classification as a, what, precisely? What the fuck does he think "terror" is? An adverb? A conjunction? A... gerund of some sort, perhaps? Fucking moron. There are a lot of dumb people in the world. There's no point in insulting them, generally, just as there's no point in saying that someone is smelly or has a spooky-tooth somewhere in their mouth. But what gets my goat (that's right-- gets my goat; I'll go that far, profanity-concerns be darned) is that there are a lot of people who are fucking morons but who are really convinced they're terribly bright and witty. posted by Ace at 02:14 PM

Well, I'm very smart. Just ask my Mom. But I do know the basic parts of speech pretty well. I especially know nouns, because, you know, even a fucking retard can grasp the function of a noun and identify nouns with 95% accuracy. But not, apparently, Jon "All This Undeserved Media Attention Has Gone to My Head" Stewart. Posted by: ace on October 19, 2004 02:30 PM
An utterly predictable response. Sad. Posted by: Scott on October 19, 2004 02:30 PM

I posted about his bastard cousin Bill Maher earlier today. Like Jon Bill thinks he is a freakin mensa candidate, though he is more like a "one step away from columbine" candidate. http://www.templeofjennifer.com/blog/index.php?p=568 Want to know the worst part about Jon? He has a child. Some poor innocent baby who will have to grow up with that idiot. Posted by: Jennifer on October 19, 2004 02:48 PM
Jon Stewart is a smart-ass that could be hilarious if he chose to poke fun at both sides equally. Instead, he has chosen the path of partisanship which automatically means that half his potential audience will have nothing to do with him. How smart is that? Ironically, the "party of the people" is populated by a group that purports to know more than their audience. I suppose that we are just to nod our heads and acknowledge their intellectual superiority. They will tell us how to vote and we should be grateful they do that. My wife is a teacher and she constantly gets mailings from the state and national teacher's unions. I always say, "At least you now know who you are supposed to vote for." Not surprisingly, one year they endorsed BOTH candidates for governor. They knew the Democrat was going to get hammered in the election, so they had to headge their bet. That was very usefull campaign information. Posted by: Steve L. on October 19, 2004 02:50 PM

"Ennui" is a noun too. Posted by: Andrea Harris on October 19, 2004 03:04 PM
Actually I would venture a guess that 90% of Americans believe that nouns are literally "persons, places, or things" and things in the substantive sense. They can be touched, or in the case of war, physically attacked. Now if you tried to explain that "Terrorizing" is a gerund (a verb acting as noun) - you'd lose them for sure and likely get a can of PBR thrown at your noggin. But none here need to worry about any of that, because you're at least at the level of "fucking retard". Hey Ace, are you responsible for the bogus 'special olympics' flyers planted at the Fitzhugh HQ? - Very Rovian! Posted by: Batman on October 19, 2004 03:15 PM
Ace - I think you're a fucking GENIUS!! Keep up the good work. :) Posted by: Dianne on October 19, 2004 03:17 PM
Ace, please don't terror Jon Stewart. He's been terrored enough. Posted by: Johnny Walker Red on October 19, 2004 03:19 PM
Ace, you've arrived. Apparently, the insufferable Noam Chomsky's now trolling your site under the pseudonym "Batman." "Trolling." Hmm. Another gerund. Me smart now! I think me drink a PBR to celebratize! Posted by: Rocketeer on October 19, 2004 03:36 PM

Queen, In case you hadn't noticed, this blog is HOSTED by a 'potty-mouthed' child. Seriously - go back through the archives and find out for yourself. Most of the people who post here are 'potty-mouthed' children. This is not the place to point out that Jon Stewart is a potty-mouth and have that statement MEAN anything :-) Posted by: The Batman on October 19, 2004 04:14 PM

there are a lot of people who are fucking morons but who are really convinced they're terribly bright and witty. Why does every fucking post on this site have to be about Oliver Willis? Huh? Posted by: Bill from INDC on October 19, 2004 04:38 PM
Stewart is just so above all of us. Sadly, he can probably get away with staying stupid shit (oh, sorry, I mean MERD) most of the time, because to be an intellectual among the liberals, you just have to SOUND like one. You don't actually have to know "stuff." Your merd don't actually have to make sense. And, Queen, if it makes you feel better ... I've NEVER watched his show (just seen clips here and there.) Life is too short. Posted by: Carin on October 19, 2004 04:42 PM
The Democrat in my household was actually in the same class at William and Mary as Jon Stewart, class of '84. She remembers the following about Stewart...he a stoner who was always playing frisbee in the sunken garden. A nice guy. Not terribly ambitious, never worked too hard, but a definite stoner. There may even have been a dog, who wore a bandana, involved in those games of frisbeen. Posted by: H.D. Miller on October 19, 2004 04:47 PM
Stewart is the typical political humorist who hides his cranial vacuity behind quick wit and bluster. He's basically a white male Whoopi masquerading as Chevy Chase Posted by: TomS on October 19, 2004 04:50 PM
That's not fair, Bill. Sometimes Ace focuses on Sullivan. I wouldn't have it any other way, keeps the rest of us from having to do it :) Same goes for 80's trivia. Posted by: Elric on October 19, 2004 05:18 PM
10/19/04 "Stewart is the typical political humorist who hides his cranial vacuity behind quick wit and bluster. He's basically a white male Whoopi masquerading as Chevy Chase." I did not know Will Rogers, and Will Rogers was never a friend of mine, but Jon Stewart is no Will Rovers. Neither are Whoopi or Chevy. Will Rogers was a REAL political humorist. He wasn't mean, nasty, profane, or undignified, but he was funny, and he was brilliant in his humor. Lonnie Kendall Posted by: Lonnie Kendall on October 19, 2004 05:53 PM

C'mon, you guys remember "Batman" doncha? That old ad where the Steve Young-esque quaterback gets clobbered and when asked who he is says "I'm Batman." Methins our Batman is the victim of a head trauma. Posted by: hobgoblin on October 19, 2004 06:08 PM
Batman? I think not. Posted by: zetetic on October 19, 2004 06:12 PM
That's "The Batman" to you, zetetic. Villians and criminals of your sort are usually quite limited in their understanding of concepts both simple, and complex. They lack the ability to appreciate 'nuance', you might say - and can only understand things in black or white terms. There are many types of rhyme. Assonant, consonant, weak, rich, scarce, etc... Perhaps once I return you to Arkham, you will have time to study and become a poet :-) Posted by: The Batman on October 19, 2004 06:24 PM
When I was a kid, I'd spend all my time trying to prove to other kids how much smarter than them I was by telling them all the grown-up words I knew. Meanwhile, I was oblivious to just how obnoxious I was and how hard they were laughing at me behind my back. Thank God I outgrew that phase. Maybe someday "The Batman" will too. Posted by: Brian B on October 19, 2004 06:38 PM
Ah, yes.... Nuance. I've always had difficulty with that. Keeps me from being a Democrat, I imagine. Posted by: zetetic on October 19, 2004 06:51 PM
This week's Time magazine ran an ad for "The Daily Show" that summs it up perfectly: 1 Anchor Do we even need to go beyond that? Posted by: Steve L. on October 19, 2004 07:02 PM
Merd, merde, it's all shit to me. There was a reason I got "C"s in French. Posted by: Carin on October 19, 2004 07:14 PM

Brian, Please. - Obnoxiousness, abundant use of profanity, and pedantry are defining characteristics in the posts and many of the comments on this blog. I'm in Rome, and I'm being a fucking roman, yo. Posted by: The Batman on October 19, 2004 07:35 PM
Defense rests. Posted by: Brian B on October 19, 2004 08:12 PM
I'm not sure what's going on. I thought Batman was a Conservative who used to post here (or over at Allah's). I don't know. At least the limericks are funny. "While beating his peter." Posted by: Smack on October 19, 2004 10:07 PM

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.

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.
