Not much I want to write about, and I am feeling kinda crappy, anyway. Not sure why, either. I felt fine all morning (even got up and worked out), had some lunch, and then started feeling dizzy and sweaty and nauseous.
In fact, I think I am going home and going to bed.
Zifnab
Wow. Yeah, go home and sleep that off. See, this is what happens with excessive use of a Macintosh device. We tried to warn you.

It’s called “iSickness”.
Tax Analyst
Were you by any chance reading Red State when you started feeling this way?
Seriously, hope you feel better and aren’t coming down with the flu or some such crap.
ThymeZone
Ah, to be young! At my age, dizzy, sweaty and nauseous is called “a bounce in your step.”
Jake
Rockin’ Pneumonia & the Boogie-Woogie Flu?
Either that or you have a case of DemoCooties. It attacks and destroys the last vestiges of RepubLitis in your system.
Or. [ahem] At least one of those 42 Virgins Soros sent you fibbed on her job app.
Actually it sounds like stomach flu or ear infection. Grab some ginger ale, saltines and a bowl.

I’ll rpost this in the correct day’s thread:
Those of you interested into the decay of American conservatism into sadism might want to check out this thread at Patterico. Watch the armchair warriors make fun of liberals too wussified to waterboard.

I thought that was called sex?
Elvis Elvisberg
This is weird.
Musharraf says that Bhutto’s actions are “producing negative vibes.”
Maybe if he ran the country from a sandbox and had everyone wear hard hats, things would work out ok.

Nice try Mr. Cole, but you’re going to be thwarted (thwarted, I say!): blizz has extended their maintenance window to 1:00 Pacific.
So this going home “sick” to make the first Turbo Charged Flying Machine Control on your server isn’t going to work.
Thwarted!

That’s a snip from Andrew Lazarus’ link above.
You cannot make this shit up. Welcome to the Jack Bauer era.

My god, he’s pregnant!
So THAT’S where new mods come from! O_O
Thymezone- fuck. Words fail me. Actually, I can think of two- ‘prove it’. So easy to say, yay, I’m in a position to prevent an attack! I just KNOW I am! God said I am! Where’s the thumbscrews? The world is at stake!

Feel better! You certainly make your readers feel better with all of your hard work every other day. You deserve your rest.
Jake
Yep. To fullfill the oath you must break the oath. Just like you have to break a few commandments and completely ignore all that hippy crap Jesus said to be a good Christian. And of course Eggs, Omlettes.
Really, it’s very Zen and you wouldn’t understand.

I seriously didn’t need that.
cleek
JC, get a flu shot recently?
that’s how i felt last Tuesday.
ahh conservatism, the political ideology of boot-licking bed-wetters everywhere.
ThymeZone
Me too.
When I was a kid, I was fascinated by WWII and I used to wonder how seemingly nice people like the Germans ever got to be such apparent monsters.
I don’t wonder any more. When the greatest democracy on earth has citizens who think that only “those who are in senior positions in the US government” can decide whether torture is okay, then …. maybe we’re just fucked.
Libby Spencer
Yikes. Hope you feel better soon John.

After regretfully wasting a minute or two reading that typical Malkinette/Hannitized tripe I was thinking of writing a long comment, but why bother? Anymore it’s like arguing with people who just know the truth the planet is celebrating its 6,000th birthday and the universe revolves around Earth because it makes the baby Jesus smile.
Why is it always a constant race for Teh Stupid for these people? Don’t they already have enough brass rings?
Jake
Not to go all hippy-trippy don’t worry be happy on you, but until about three decades ago the GDoE once had citizens who thought stringing up a random brown person was a form of family entertainment and actually did the stringing.
Hopefully long hours Keyboard Warrioring have left the current crop of the driveling class too flaccid for more than talk.
The psychos have always been with us, the internons just make their gibberish readily available to all and allow sane folks to launch rapid-response mockery.

oh boy, the ‘ticking time bomb’ scenario. defending torture since time bombs were invented.
note to conservatives: it’s a hypothetical situation for a reason, chumps.

Is your wife pregnant perhaps? Sounds like the little-known “male pregnancy syndrome” of Afternoon Sickness.

More re Patterico thread:
It’s the circularity of the thing that’s so perversely fascinating. Here’s my hypo. Is it good or not? Yes or no, libbies.
Nope, wrong answer. Too many words, moonbat. Nope, quit evading, you liberal sissy. Crickets chirp, liberals run away, they’re galloping on their high horses of self-righteousness. Nope, that’s not an answer. Keep guessing.
I love the Crooked Timber hypo, though:

John,
Your comment: Not much I want to write about, and I am feeling kinda crappy, anyway. Not sure why, either. I felt fine all morning (even got up and worked out), had some lunch, and then started feeling dizzy and sweaty and nauseous.

Seems to me you are ill, lazy or ailing quite often. Could it be you are sick of yourself?
t. jasper parnel
Feel free to ignore this but I am confused.
On Tapped Garance Francke-Rute links to a story that alleges that Drudge alleges that Wolf Blitzer is being pressured not to pull a “Russert.” If you go to the link she provides that is indeedy the story; however, if you go to Drudge Blitzer denies the story, which would seem important to point out.
At the same site,Sam Boyd links to an article that claims HRC is intimidating
the press. If you follow his link the key name is Patrick Healy, about who see the Daily Howler or MediaMatters.
WTF?

I, too, have noticed that you seem to be ill more often than you should. I have a solution for you.
First, you have made a good first step in getting a Macintosh. Over a period of months and years, your immune system will strengthen. Eventually, you will stop getting sick.
For myself, I haven’t had a cold in over three years. This apparent immunity began when I shut down the crappy Windows NT server in my office and replaced it with an out-of-date Mac G4 with an SATA RAID array in it. It requires no maintenance, doesn’t mind if you haven’t spent countless hours reading manuals, and just, well, works.
So, your first step is to get rid of all the PCs around you that you can. This will lower the stress level to the point where your immune system will get stronger and stronger.
Pay no attention to the dribbling idiots around you who insist they cannot do their work without PCs. Macs run PC software with no difficulty at all. You can even run Windows (any flavor) in a window, so you can get rid of the shitty Mac imitation software whenever you desire.
In addition, you can stop worrying about virus software. Macs are practically immune.
If all of this fails, I recommend large quantities of Makers Mark bourbon. It won’t improve your health, but you won’t mind.
Feel better, John. Mazeltov.

I’m listening to Krugman on NPR right now. It’s funny, he doesn’t sound like he looks like he should sound.

If you know where and when a bomb is, you have enough info to disable said device.You have a device to analyze and a safe buffer of time to finish the analysis. What more can anyone give you?

I’d like to know how I caught this from you through a computer screen, damn you.
Remember that sociology experiment using fake electrical “reinforcement” that showed statistically any medium sized US city could provide manpower for a Nazi style concentration camp provided the proper authoritarian figure was involved? These idiots are no surprise, what is shocking is that they’re running the government.

There’s a great post on TPM Cafe today about how the “intelligent design” and creationism crowds are a good parallel with movement conservatism generally.

And I fully believe what the first commenter says:
