Great Moments In Liberal Military Heroism

Okay, so a lot of them are just plain fake. But they have important (bullshit) stories to tell anyway.

See-Dubya links to a take-down of the newest Fauxdie Murphy on the left -- warcrime fabulist Jimmy Massey -- and takes us down memory lane regarding the original, Micah Wright, who claimed on his blog that he was a Special Forces kill-crazy madman who saw "the shit" in Panama and you were an ignorant chickenhawk to dispute him.

Later it turned out that the most "military action" he'd seen was a brief stint as an ROTC officer, and the only "shit" he'd seen was doing jumping jacks on the field to the north of the Quad, and on top of that he'd left that program before completion for one reason or another. (I think it's because he was secretly "tapped" by the CIA for their special Mechwarrior force, codenamed "METALSTORM CRIMSON ULTRA.")

And, oh yeah, he happens to link a couple of my funny takedowns on this lying sonofabitch to boot.

I'm not reposting those-- See-Dubya is. But seriously, pretty good stuff I think.
Especially "Wea Culpa," my own brave confession about certain... inaccuracies about my own history that I've peddled in order to win arguments.

Thirty years from now, Massey will be the Democratic nominee for President.

Okay, I confess. I just took on the Jewish minivan mom persona to win arguments. I'm actually a pimply faced 19 year old boy living in his mother's basement, with a huge Japanese comic book collection and lifesized cardboard cutouts of every major Stars Wars character. And five Boba Fetts. And homemade Mandalorian armor. With functional jetpack.

Whew, I'm free! No longer am I living a lie! FREE!

I hear some guy named Wesley Clark tried to pass himself off as some kind of general.

Went to See-Dubya and wallowed in the "good old times" when Ace was a young whippersnapper (blogically speaking). Now, as we all know, Ace has grown into...a Blogenstein! Or is it Blogenshteen?

Whatever.

The point is we all knew him when...
...he was a cute little mofo.
...he wore a frilly little dress.
...he nailed Powers Booth.

You get the picture. And can probably come up with MUCH better ones!

Whoops! I didn't mean to go off thread. I was overwhelmed! Overwhelmed, I say!

It's not my fault! I'm a victim!

I have this vague memory that another piece of evidence against him came from the wife of some blogger (my extremely vague memory is that it was Spoons' wife) who had known Micah in college and knew that he was a habitual liar, even then. But more important is that she knew him in college at a time when his revisionist autobiography had him in the service.

Does that strike a bell with anyone?

Alabaster, shhh.... Bush supporters can't talk about him without lying. (Same with any other veterans who oppose the GOP, from George McGovern to John Kerry to Tony McPeak to Gen. Shalikashvili. Heck, they even lied about McCain when he ran against BushCo.)

Gotta keep pretending George W. "Not Observed" Bush, Dick "Other Priorities" Cheney, and Don "Saddam's Pal" Rumsfeld are the American heroes. Right along with Bandar Bush, Chalabi, and Pat Robertson.

Speaking of strange bedfellows, don't miss the NYers review of Republican fiction (the kind that doesn't get people killed, for a change). These are "moral family values" you won't even want to read until the kids are asleep.

Steven--that's exactly right. Spoons' archives are gone but the ASV archives I was browsing through made that point. More bloggy goodness.

Posted by: See-Dubya on November 11, 2005 09:40 PM

Yes, Steven (or should I say Mr. Den Beste,) I do remember some woman from Micah's past talking about how he was a pathological liar even then.

Or maybe it was Ted Rall. Hell, all of those commie pinko bastards love lying. It's the only way they could get any action.

Posted by: Sue Dohnim on November 11, 2005 09:43 PM

Oh, the "Micah Wright is a Fucking Liar" post!

I remember that post like it was yesterday. It was around the time of the MuNu migration, as I recall.

Good times. Happy times.

Posted by: Phinn on November 11, 2005 11:24 PM

I read the same thing about Micah, Sue and Steve. Can't remember who posted it but they said they knew him when he was at school during the time he later claimed to be in the service.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him

Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.

In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023.
Tons of chemicals are detected in the atmospheres of celestial objects every day. But dimethyl sulfide is different, because on Earth, it's only produced by living organisms.
"It is a shock to the system," Nikku Madhusudhan, first author on the paper, told the New York Times. "We spent an enormous amount of time just trying to get rid of the signal."

He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.
