Why Of Course He'd Say That

In 2008, Democrats need to get rid of strategy and go with their “gut”. The Democrat who demonstrates the most “gut” should be the nominee.

-- Oliver Willis

So are we to take that as O-chub is endorsing Ted "Snorkel" Kennedy?

Posted by: Iblis on August 22, 2005 03:28 PM

... or Jerrold Nadler?

Posted by: Have anotha Burgah, Ollie on August 22, 2005 03:31 PM

So let me guess. O-Dub is in training for his own presidential run.

Either that or he's throwing his hat behind a Rosie O run.

Check it out- Ace is #61!!!!

O-Dub is nowhere to be found in the top 100.

OT:

Howard, is that your real name, or is that about the bodybuilder Howard DeVore or the very cool bad-guy from the Chung Kuo novels?

Thank you all for your patience. I am unable to email at this moment.

Posted by: Zorachus on August 22, 2005 03:37 PM

I would so very much love it if the Democrats came out and said what they really believe. Give it to us. Come right out with it.

Please, guys, go with your gut. Sing it loud, sing it clear, sing it for all the world to hear!

The Democratic Party would probably collapse. I mean, officially. Unofficially, I'd put the time of death around September 2000.

Posted by: Phinn on August 22, 2005 03:47 PM

It's from Chung-Kuo.
You mean I'm not the only person on the planet to have suffered through them? (actually that's not completely true- I still haven't picked up or read Book 8: The Marriage of the Living Dark, I just pretend it ended at book 5 or 6)

Posted by: HowardDevore on August 22, 2005 04:01 PM

Very cool Howard!
I read book 8, and let me tell you, stopping at 6 was a smart move.
Still, nice to meet a fellow fan.

They were going to make a movie of the series at one point. That would have been amazing.

Posted by: Zorachus on August 22, 2005 04:21 PM

My husband is a fan of Chung Kuo... he keeps trying to get me to read them.

Posted by: meep on August 22, 2005 04:32 PM

That could onlt mean one thing:

Jerry Nadler in '08!

Imagine Howard Dean screaming... forever!

Posted by: Bob Hawkins on August 22, 2005 04:45 PM

The most gut?

That makes Howard Dean a slam dunk winner. The man publicly disembowels himself all the time comitting political sepuku.

SHUT. UP.

C'mon guys, do you want to ruin all my plans?

Posted by: Karl Rove on August 22, 2005 04:51 PM

Everybody Chung Kuo tonight!

Posted by: odrady on August 22, 2005 05:36 PM

Then your husband hates you, meep.
Its a great sweeping Hard Scifi series until book 6 or so, when several characters are revealed as ancient chinese immortals. And book 7 is just incomprehnsible. And every review I've read of book 8 was either fanboish praise or ugh.

Posted by: HowardDevore on August 22, 2005 06:03 PM

If the volume of what comes out of it is any measure of one's "gut" then the Professor of Poop, the Croupdea of Crap, the Barker of Baloney, the First Flim Flammer (as well as the First Felon) is the leader hands down. And he was a liar too.

Posted by: 72 bearded ladies on August 22, 2005 06:15 PM

And he was a liar too.

Posted by: 72 Flim Flammers on August 22, 2005 06:18 PM

Heh, the books are awesome until 6 or so, meep. Very interesting vision of how things might be. But yeah, as of book 8, not only does the bad guy turn out to be a giant spider (from space, of course), but the entire universe turns out to be sort of an off-shoot of the "real" one.

Unbelievably bad ending.

Posted by: zorachus on August 22, 2005 08:23 PM

First, Willis clearly is proud of who or what he is - I'd be embarrassed to put up a picture of myself if I had a double chin big enough to hold a banana split with two extra scoops.
And Goofy's comment about 'gut' should serve as a reminder that his kind of Dems and lefties still rely on their version of the Descartes phrase, "I think it's true, therefore it is."

I bet the turd rolling dung beetle thinks its the premier species on this planet too...

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules.

-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
