Rasch was leaving for some engagement this upcoming weekend, so it was either now or delay it for awhile longer. If the current users sidebar is any indication everyone is still visiting the sift (as if these pack of nerds would go anywhere they didn't have 24/7 internet access). I just think between Rasch's threat of violence, postmortem violation and the lopped off elk head in his blog folk have just been too frightened to respond.

Too many of you having flash backs of when the school yard bully pulled your scoobydoo underoos over your head? Are you really scared of a man who looks like he could be the dorky comic relief on some Saturday morning kid's show? Someone so afraid of telling an off color joke, that if they had any super power it would be to change their skin color so they could 'get away' with it? And such a gigantic wuss he doesn't eat ice cream because he's probably afraid of brain freeze. There's nothing to fear so stop cowering in your piss soaked corner and tear him a new one!

He thought the Star of David represented Islam: the unforeseen comic relief.


Unlikely. White Supremacists are known for holding the opinion that there's a grand Jewish conspiracy controlling all the banks and wielding a great deal of political power. Given pro-Israel comments that Obama has made, the guy is probably trying to smear Obama as complicit for going along with the conspiracy.

He misspelled Hussein. No surprise there.

Intellectual indolence is a signature of the rightwing base.

He thought the Star of David represented Islam: the unforeseen comic relief.

And the upside-down Obama sign must have some special secret meaning known only to himself and two or three local Sifters who are loath to explain its sublime message to the rest of us.

Behold, Republicans, the great works of your clever brethren.

Anticipating the utterly predictable 'o noes but teh medya tis biased' response from the McCain campaign.

Oh and here's more 'comic relief' from McCain: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/04/mccain-camp-mocks-obamas-comment-on-inflated-tires/

Oh, I know, I almost didn't, 'cause I'm a PC anarchist. I watched plenty of videos of actual shootings at the LA riots and I needed a little comic relief.

I like how the gunshots are some kind of intelligible language to this dutiful shopkeeper.

I think crocodiles naturally do barrel rolls. IIRC, they can only open and close their jaws rigidly, not move their bottom jaw side to side to tear and chew like other animals, which is why they twist and roll their entire bodies to rip meat off their prey


The more you know...

Seriously though, I never knew that... Whe I was young, I thought that the crocodiles were just rolling in the water for comic relief after they ate the bad guys... ><

^ It's almost comic relief -- check out what happens when a reporter asks the official propaganda representative about their program of covert propaganda!

Hilarity, hostility, dismissiveness, and lying ("We just give people information" ... that's intentionally misleading or false).

If you agree about the Pentagon propaganda thing is an issue, wtf are you doing defending Dana Perino's right to dismiss it as not being an issue?

and now for something completely different
_{though this thread needed some comic relief}

I used to be a major "movie-goer". For the six years from 2000 to 2005 I saw an average of 40 movies per year in the cinema. Like others here have said, it was mainly the other people in the theatre who ruined the experience.

My biggest pet-peeve became not talkers, but people who put their feet up on the seats. I kind of understand if the row in front of you is empty, maybe put your feet up if you must. But if I choose to sit in that row, you must take your feet down if they are within a couple seats of me. I remember seeing POTC and some chick felt the need to dangle her stinky bare feet right next to my head. I tried to ignore it but she was also wiggling her toes and rocking the seats. I asked her once to move her feet and she ignored me, so a couple minutes later I turned around, looked her right in the eye, and flicked her in the big toe as hard as I could with my fingernail. She went "Oh. My. God." in a very teenagery way, but took her foot down and shut the fuck up finally.

When I saw 300 there were two teenage girls seated near me who never stopped talking during the entire film. It was agressively obnoxious but they were far enough and the film was engrossing enough that I tuned them out. It's when the movie is not so great that talkers become a real annoyance, because just as you've suspended your disbelief they'll pipe up and drag you back to reality.

Finally, don't even get me started on the fucking assholes who think they enhance the movie by yelling out loud in a hushed theatre. Maybe I don't want any comic relief that the director didn't intend, and maybe not everyone finds the latest catch-phrase to be so hilarious. Basically if I could get away with it I'd follow people like this out to their car and brain them with a blunt object, for the betterment of society. I was only ever friends with two guys who would do this. One ended up being shot and killed by police and the other has literally gone schizo and can't even go to work any more. So I think it's clear that shouting in movie theatres is indicative that someone is on the low threshold of social integration, and should most likely be withdrawn from the gene pool.
