As minor as those sound, they can be rather dangerous.
Speaking of dangerous, PuffingTons Host has closed the comments on the story. I guess they don’t want the regular readers getting on there and wishing for his death again.
Here’s the ScreenCap:
Hot Air beat me to it.
Well, technically, the producers have the statue. He was just up there to demonstrate he hasn’t taken off the back-brace.
So, congrats, Al. Your inaccurate spook movie on Global Warming won you an oscar. You and Mike Moore should be proud. And the nutroots are going wild. They want Al to jump in and run for President in 2008.
The Politico calls it a “late run“, which I find funny. It’s kind of like me sending out an invitation to a party I’m holding in three weeks. Two days later, 12 people show up, ready to party. Then two days later, Al Gore shows up and everyone says, “Why are ya so late, Al?” Meanwhile the party is still more than 2 weeks away.
David Roberts over at the PuffingTons Host had three orgasmic posts on the Goracale. Effectively, Gore won the Oscar, which is proof that there’s consensus on anthropological Global Warming.
Over at the Boston Globe, they’re talking about how great it would be to have the Goracle as a Presidential Candidate.
And ThinkProgress declares the Oscars have gone green. Well, it’s about time. They’ve been Pinko Leftist for far too long.
Seriously, a guy “wins” an Oscar on a movie that’s total bull, and people want him to run for President. I think it’s time for me to pass out Aquanet Moments to anyone who uses his Oscar “win” as proof he’d be a great candidate.
Sheldon’s back. Well, he never left. But he has an interesting blog over at the PuffingTons Host. It’s all about his father, and how his father instilled values in Shel after they left Poland in 1945.
Here’s some of it:
Accordingly, the idea of an after life was never expressed to me by my parents and in my Jewish studies. That is true for most of my generation of Jewish Americans. On the other hand, I observed that many of my Christian friends had an abiding belief of heaven and hell primarily through the teachings of the New Testament.I could not relate to the teachings of the Jewish scripture in that I personally believed it was written by the people of the period from stories handed down to them through the generations. History has proven that the Hebrew bible sometimes called “Torah” was written during the Babylonian exile of the Jews in the 6th century B.C.E., not by Moses 700 years earlier. My reading of the New Testament makes me equally skeptical of scripture as both a spiritual and historical guide to our lives. However, after the deaths of my mother and father, I began to have a different attitude about spirituality and the tangible experience we call life.
Great stuff. A man does soul searching, trying to find truth and align himself in the cosmic hierarchy.
And what great truth does he find? What does God reveal to Sheldon?
That information was helpful to me in making peace with my mother shortly after she died. I knew she needed me to say the Kaddish prayer for her whether or not I believed it to be meaningful. What I also took away from this is an abiding belief in cosmic justice that gives me a strong sense that those who have lived evil and cruel lives will not escape cosmic justice. The Bush/Cheney cabal and all the evil-doers that preceeded them in my mind are wearing the chains of Marley’s Ghost from Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and are condemned to do so for eternity. And I believe there is no person who will be able to cleanse their eternal souls no matter who says the Kaddish prayer for them.
God hates Bush and all of his followers are condemned to hell. Seriously, folks, you can’t make this stuff up.
It’s late, and I’m finally sitting down for a moment to compose some thoughts while I watch Wheel of Fortune. Vanna White still looks amazing. I’m sure there’s a portrait in her house somewhere…
Anyway, Barak Obama declared his bid for the Presidency. Surprise, eh?
In other news, it’s been what, 8 days now, and still no word from the PuffingTons Host about my banning? I’ve just sent the info contact another email demanding an explanation.
No explanation. I guess the almighty PuffingTons Host doesn’t need to explain itself to the lowly commenter. But I’ll just assume there are 10,000,000 emails to the info email wondering how Arianna keeps her girlish good looks and they haven’t gotten to mine, yet.
30 days, Puffers.
Seems the Assimilated Press’ Virt has been similarly banned from the PuffingTons Host.
Well, it was Monday. A glorious Monday. And I was sitting around, recovering from a nasty 24-hour stomach virus given to my wife and I by our two loving children. (I’ll never say they didn’t give me anything.) And I was reading my inbox, and my spambox, wondering where the mea culpa from Puffingtons Host was. And you know what? Nowhere to be found.
But I will point out PuffingtonsHost blogger Cliff Schecter and his illumianting post that doesn’t resort to name-calling or character attacks:
You may have seen the non-controversy over John Edwards’ hiring of talented blogger Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon fame. Or maybe not.
The basic story is that uber-moronic Right-tards such as Michelle Malkin, whose IQ has been in an internment camp for the better part of her life, thinks it’s really bad that Amanda said words like “f**k” on her blog.
So, the commenters are held to one standard, while the bloggers themselves can operate above those standards? Sounds like the typical reasoning of Democratic leadership.
But yeah, go ahead and ban me because… well, I have no idea why, but evidently they’re tired of me ripping their enlightened individuals.
I’m not really watching it, but I am waiting for an email explaining why I haven’t been banned. granted, it’s the weekend, so the interns have probably had their leg shackles removed so they’re not answering email. And, of course, tomorrow’s Sunday. Oh, they won’t be at church– they’ll be at a protest somewhere.
However, I do have an idea. It’s “bannable comments that were allowed through the comment screeners on the PuffingTons Host” section.
Here’s a post critical of Greg Gutfeld and his latest post, “Patriotic Terrorist”:
Of course on Gutfield’s view, Jesus would count as a Patriotic Terrorist because he wants people to change instead of blindly cheering them on however much damage they do to themselves. What a jackass.(That is Gutfields, not Jesus). By: Lon on January 25, 2007 at 11:35am
The post was allowed with an ad hominem attack, directly in violation of the Comments Policy. But it was allowed.
Until I get an answer from the PuffingTons Host, I’ll be posting gross violations of the comments policy and their blatant hypocrisy.
So, the PuffingTons Host has banned me from commenting. No email telling me why I can’t comment. No warnings. Just a blanket ban for, well, being a conservative.
Check it out:
I’ve sent them an email. Let’s see if I get a response. Probably not. Given the infrequency my comments were being published, I’m willing to bet they simply got tired of me exposing the illogic of their thinking.
Me? I don’t ban. I just delete blogspam comments. Everything else is fair game. Why? Because my skin is rather thick. And I believe that all people should be able to participate in the discussion, even the trolls who like to post “YOU SUCK”.
In the meantime, I’ve created another account. They can’t keep me away that easily.
It’s news! Big time leftie Taylor Marsh thinks that Rush Limbaugh shouldn’t be nominated for the Nobel Prize!
Why, you ask? Because he’s an alleged criminal!
Nominate a guy who has a mug shot, was suspected of using his house keeper to keep him in drugs, while duping his radio audience for years. A man who enjoys taking holidays to places that top the list as the underage sex capitals of the world. A man who then gets caught with someone else’s libido pills on the way back into the country after his all male holiday. But, of course, Rush gets a pass because, after all, he is Rush Limbaugh.
Fun stuff! But where the outrage from Taylor about Peace-Prize winner Jimmy Carter and his anti-Jew stances? And what of her outrage when Yassir Arafat, terrorist king, was given the prize only to shortly thereafter start the intifada?
Yeah, didn’t think so.
