Art does have that cute Thanksgiving column though. Every year.

Let's be honest - No, Oliver Willis is not better than that.

Oh, and on a side note, whatever Pixy Misa has done to stop spammers is pretty effing effective; no URL allowed in the comment form at all. Not that I find this troubling, mind you, but it's not just your site, it's apparently all of mu.nu.

Art Buchwald has always been in the Bil Keane - Ernie Bushmiller funny HoF.

Ouch, I send you a tip and you blast my group blog name, even putting O-dub ahead of us, even with a Jesus quote going on, that's low.

You know what, forget it, where's Smitty, Hoke or Johnny Coldcuts when you need them. I think I can find another Jesus quote about you retiring again.

Remember what the Conservative icon Sam Sampson says, our people can tell who are nonpersons. I have connections (ahem, the quote) and I can make it where you qualify as a nonperson, if you know what I mean. This time the retirement will last a little longer.

But thanks for the link, have a great day and Jesus bless you!

I'd get more worked up over this, but it's not like anyone takes Art Buchwald seriously. Or reads him. To be honest, I thought the guy was dead. I believe he was some sort of evolutionary precursor to Maureen Dowd, but his career started going downhill about the same time as Vaughn Meader's.

And Aaron's right. Whichever one of you guys--Hoke, Smitty, whoever--ranked him below the Mountain of Meat needs to step forward and receive a seriously biblical asswhupping. Loose shit indeed.

I think "Two or Three" is much better than "Oliver Willis" as a name for a blog. Here's why:

[Bugs Bunny] How many lumps would you like with your tea, doc?
[Oliver Willis] Oh, two or three.
[Bugs hits Oliver on the head four times with a wooden mallet. Four bumps appear.]
[Bugs Bunny] Oh! I've given you one too many lumps! I'll fix dat.
[Bugs gently taps one lump back into Oliver's head.]
[Bugs Bunny] Dere ya are!

See?

That shows how ignorant all you right-wingnuts are. As a matter of a fact there is a Sam Sampson, he lives down the street from me.

And I heard him muttering something about "getting some Greer." Or maybe it was beer. But the important thing is, I'm right.

Ummmmm The lion said, "oooohhh three or four" not two or three.

Loose. Shit.

I'm still not convinced Buchwald is alive. The only thing that gives me pause is that the column does indeed bear the Buchwald hallmarks: near-total ignorance of conservatism and embarassingly unfunny "humor".

I'm still not convinced Buchwald is alive.

Art Buchwald is the older, deader version of Al Franken.

This article reminds me of my liberal friend "Art." I tried to discuss politics with him but he couldn't answer because his mouth was still full from all the salad tossing.

Art buchwald your typical liberal left-wing columist writted for your typical left-wing news papers just giving his usial left-wing drivel what a inperational dweeb
