Tim Blair Gets Results!

British Sissy-Paper Calls Off Campaign to Swing Ohio Voters

British Writers Objected To Mass-Emails Suggesting That They Clean Their Teeth, Calling them "Chocolate Mouth"

A petty little victory, but this is just the place for such pettiness:

The Guardian yesterday ran up the white flag and called a halt to "Operation Clark County", the newspaper's ambitious scheme to recruit thousands of readers to persuade American voters in a swing state to kick out President George W Bush in next month's election.

The cancellation of the project came 24 hours after the first of some 14,000 letters from Guardian readers began arriving in Clark County. The missives led to widespread complaints about foreign interference in a US election.

It also prompted a surge of indignant local voters calling the county's Republican party offering to volunteer for Mr Bush.

Here's the thing: the rest of the world is so pleased with itself -- so self-satisfied with its ostensibly superior culture and education -- that they really imagined US voters wanted unsolicited mass emails. Because, you see, these aren't your normal unsolicited mass emails. These are from Europeans.

Thanks to NickS.

I can't wait for the next British election. I fully intend to contact British citizens and urge them to reelect Tony Blair - one of the few politicians in that country with balls.

They were giving out physical addresses, bags of mail sealed with European spittle are on the way to Ohio.

I'm going to travel to London for their next election, wear a cowboy hat, and sing "America....FUCK YEAH!"

Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on October 22, 2004 06:08 PM

Me, ever the optimist, would like to think those bags of letters enroute from England are crammed full of apologies for their media's assholish behavior. Can you imagine living in a city where practically every newspaper makes the National Enquirer look like the New York Times? Ok, bad analogy...

Posted by: BrewFan on October 22, 2004 07:12 PM

When you think about it, I doubt any American would have the bad manners to look up start writing personal letters to someone in another state they just looked up on the voter rolls, telling them how to vote and dissing their C-in-C.

If I got a letter from some guy in the next state over I'd be creeped out and feel like my privacy was violated (not in an ACLU way, just in a creepy-personal space way.) Even if I agreed with them.

I'd multiply that feeling by ten thousand if it were a foreigner telling me how to run my country.

Is this particular spasm of arrogance a European thing, or a leftist thing?

Posted by: See-Dubya on October 22, 2004 07:12 PM

Leftist thing...They can't resist the urge to tell others how to conduct their lives.

Posted by: Paul B. on October 22, 2004 07:44 PM

Its a European thing too.
They have ridiculous ideas about what Americans are like, and what our lives are like.

Posted by: lauraw on October 22, 2004 08:34 PM

British Leftist thing. They're, uh, interesting people. I remember Ace posting about NYC liberals and how hostile and pushy they are with people.

People in Britain who think the Guardian is gospel?

They make Hillary Clinton look like Phyllis Schafly.

Posted by: Rob on October 22, 2004 08:44 PM

lauraw --

Yes, but unfortunately many of those ideas come from watching CNN, Michael Moore films, and listening to Democrat politicians.

Posted by: capitano on October 22, 2004 11:39 PM

Well, I'd just like to thank them for helping us out. It seems to have pissed off many enough to vote for Bush. Question: Is this what it will feel like if Kerry wins and the UN starts telling us what to do?

Posted by: Philip on October 23, 2004 03:49 AM

Capitano, if TV news and political films are mirrors, then they are of the bizarre fun-house variety.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:

Funny -- if you don't mind clicking on TikTok. "Amy.Pranks.22" set up an AI scam-call screener which replies to a foreign scammer trying to get her bank information with Trumpian bluster. This might be fake because I don't see how a program can respond in real time, but it's funny.

The ULA rocket just launched
Thanks to Joyenz
The rocket's enormous engines are fueled by "the volcanic heterosexual lust between James Talarico and his Neighbor With a Uterus 'girlfriend'"
I hope Amazon's rocket works better than the Amazon Prime app does as far as allowing people to watch the black and white version of "Spider-Noir"
From the CA Post:

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass' biggest headache.

A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.

And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.

Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week's primary.

Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.

Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars
Gee I wonder where they might have met
Oh and she's a vegan
When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men
But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
And just like that, #PunchANazi became Punch a Ballot for a Nazi
"Teen" charged with five counts of attempted murder after attempting to run down police officers with his car in yet another "teen takeover" permitted by woke racist incompetent Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson
Johnson's response to the "teen takeovers" of streets and businesses that he refuses to make arrests to stop is to go after social media companies for not deleting messages to coordinate the "teen takeovers." Um, they're supposed to find these messages and delete them in real time?
It makes no sense but he has to offer an "alternative" plan to just arresting lawbreakers -- which he absolutely refuses to do, saying we "can't arrest our way out" of rampant crime.
