Question

by tigtog on August 28, 2009

Is it very, very wrong of me to have subscribed for years to the newsletter of the Aussie arm of the LaRoucheites just for the laffs?

2 tigtog August 28, 2009 at 9:28 am: Just got a press release: they’re very annoyed that there are all these “City of London banks”* saying that we’re moving out of recession,

“when they know full well that the world’s leading economic forecaster, Lyndon LaRouche, has warned of a mid-October economic collapse,” Mr Isherwood said.
(emphasis added)

How very dare they?

4 lilacsigil August 28, 2009 at 12:54 pm: Yes, terribly, terribly wrong. Don’t encourage them!
5 tigtog August 28, 2009 at 2:14 pm: But lilacsigil, if they’re not encouraged to be prolific with the batshitting wingnuttery, how will people know just how humungously batshittingly wingnutty they are?
6 Zoe August 29, 2009 at 4:35 pm: I think Amanda is right, and sharing is the key. In that vein, I offer you the Get” section of Gwyneth Paltrow’s hysterical style/life website GOOP.

8 Zoe August 29, 2009 at 4:38 pm: Haven’t quite got the hang of this editing comment thing, obvs. Is there a trick?
9 tigtog August 29, 2009 at 4:53 pm: Hm – as an admin, I see an edit link at the foot of the post, I use it and the comment is updated. Is that not what everybody else is seeing/getting? hang on – don’t try it here, I’ll set up a new techy play thread just for mucking around with it.

for my dose of WTF???!!! , LULZ and simple awe at the complete absence of any coherent thought, as well as the famous badness of the graphics. (Don’t even ask about the gender politics.)

I am indeed a terrible person.

(The thing he is hyperventilating about today appears to be quite a good thing to oppose, if true – like Steve Conroy’s National Net Nanny) – but this is very, very much an exception for this strip. Usually it’s more along the lines of “Obama = Marie Antionette and death panels will kill your grandma.”)

Appreciated (greatly) but no need – WordPress adds nofollow automatically to any link that’s in the comments.

~~As for the plugin not working for everybody, how unutterably bothersome! I may have to sit down with some P&P to relieve my nerves.~~ eta – oops, wrong thread.
