I wonder how it feels knowing that everyone refers to you constantly as ‘The Dumbest Man On The Internet’, and that every time you hit ‘submit’ you’re going to give them all a reason to call you that again? For anyone that wasn’t the dumbest man on the internet it would be kind of draining.

@cleek: You fergot in five feet of snow. Also. Too.
BJ Bots are so very delicate and, well, just sort of tender in the makeup of their soft, crinkly, and tissue thin feelings.
I suppose this is why Cole tosses out transparent Bot posts such as this one. To offer succor. To allow them to gently apply lotions and salves and ointments to their so very easily wounded membranes.

Yes, B J’s pet rescue blegs. Grifting on the scale of Mobutu Sese Seko. Damn you John Cole.
@Ted & Hellen: Actually, You’re keeping the ‘Bots’ happy; You post, we point and laugh and laugh.
In case you didn’t read the link, Hoft & company are whining about something that was created by an all-republican government before Obama became president. Why should this make ‘Bots’ happy, other than getting to point and laugh at Hoft’s knee-jerk reaction and your vociferous butthurt?
When it is a program or policy that his administration initiated and that the congress enacted & funded.
I would add the phrase “completely uncontroversial and obviously constitutional” to differentiate it from things like enhanced interrogation or electronic surveillance.
For Ted & Hellen, I would also add that nobody was trying to absolve Obama of responsibility for this program since it is completely innocuous. Instead they were just trying to provide historical context to explain why Republican hyperventilating over this program was misplaced and laughable.

My favorite posts on LGF are the ones ripping Jim Hoft. Low-hanging fruit, but that’s the sweetest kind.

@lamh36: That statement from Nadler’s spokesman doesn’t clear up much of anything
James Owens, a spokesman for Nadler, provided a statement on Sunday morning, a day after this article was published, saying: “I am pleased that the administration has reiterated that, as I have always believed, the NSA cannot listen to the content of Americans’ phone calls without a specific warrant.” Owens said he couldn’t comment on what assurances from the Obama administration Nadler was referring to, and said Nadler was unavailable for an interview. (CNET had contacted Nadler for comment on Friday.)

@Chris: Ficken Sie bitte sich if you siezen Ted & Hellen. Fickt bitte euch if you address’em as ihr, which is of course the plural of du.
I get confused because in French, the formal way of addressing “you” is to call people by the plural form of “you,” whereas in German, they do it by calling saying “they.”

@Ted & Hellen: How is this about Obama because of Obots? You brought him up. It’s like all you think about is Obama and how every thread is the life or death struggle of whether he’s good or evil. Jesus, talk about art or something. Be different for once.
@Chris:
Actually, this is not a difference; Sie, like vous, can be either singular or plural depending on the situation. German has this quirk of having three quite different pronouns — sie (she), sie (they), and Sie (you, formal, with initial cap) — that look alike.

So, just to recap, Timmy agrees with the Dumbest Man on the Internet that it’s a horrible infringement on our civil liberties for the government to send us disaster alerts on our cell phones. Apparently people in hurricane or tornado zones are supposed to die rather than be warned of the danger ahead of time by — gasp! — the government!
Um, you DID read the link yes? If not, um, I can’t help you. Carry on, Bot.

@Ted & Hellen: Did YOU read the link? Carry on, sociopath.
@LAC: Yes. I’d much rather. Even if you don’t care for the artwork, sometimes the process is far more interesting than you’d think. The same old, same old is a bit sad, when artist’s mind needs to be innovative to keep creation from being stale. bqwhatvwer. It’s his life.
