  1. glasnost, I appreciate your comment @ 11:25. As long as we keep it civil, why not?

  2. ‘Great rant by African-American Kevin Jackson (thanks, five feet of fury!) on his blog The Black Sphere, where he calls Obama “the worst president in history,” “a complete fraud,” and an “empty-suit apologist” and Dick Cheney, “a true patriot” who’s “sticking it to the man.”

    Gosh, you’d almost think he’s been reading the comments on the Obamessiah here at SDA.

  3. If people around here can’t even bother to refer to President Obama by his proper title, Lookout, then civility has nothing to do with it. When Mr. Bush was president, the left went crazy. Now that Mr. Obama is president, the right has gone crazy. And, of course, the left is still crazy. Bushitler! Obamessiah! Frankly, I’m beginning to think that all you crazy people deserve each other, and I’m beginning to become less concerned about whether or not the species survives at all. Fortunately, as long as it does, we still need good late nite radio disc jockeys, so at least I’m not completely sick of it all yet.

  4. Total non sequitur, Vitruvius: my comments today have had nothing whatsoever to do with Obama. They initially had to do with supporting a fellow SDAer who was, it seemed to me, being bullied by you—out of the blue, for nothing he had deserved in any way. (And you compounded the problem by using his respectful responses as a springboard for more put-downs. I found your rudeness to Revnant Dream appalling.)
    (Re Obama: If I were speaking to him personally, I’d address him as “President Obama” or “Mr. President.” Pollyannas and other misguided types might not like it, but calling him the Big Owe, the Obamessiah, etc., is perfectly legitimate POLITICAL commentary. Ask Kate.)
    Your insults on this thread are bizarre, uncivil, and altogether unbecoming. I and other SDA loyalists appear to be included in “all you crazy people [who] deserve each other”. How civil is that?

  5. (By the way, for the record, my 4:41 supra should be read with a
    Jackie Mason accent, and my 5:40 with a Groucho Marx accent.
    Let’s just hope I don’t descend into Charlie Callas, eh what ?-)

  6. Whoa, Vitruvius. ‘Seems like that spray of bullets caught me.
    I’m bleeding! I’m bleeding!

  7. Obama and Peloski
    is like Bronconnier and Alderman Duh Farrel , except instead of running Calgary , they are running the USA . talk about above your pay grade.
    absolutely frightening .

  8. Vitruvius:
    With all due respect for your previous intelligent and thoughtful posts on SDA, the posts you in regards to revenant had a different different tone – an innuendo attached to them that; hitherto, I had not noticed in any of your previous posts.
    I was nonpluussed by your comments – I could not see any connection between Revnant Dreams SN and Greg from Dallas’ comments regarding metaphysics and your assertion of apocalypticism. As far as I am concerned, metaphysics and the Apocalypse are completely different topics.
    You stated “I’ve been working on what to call it for months now, and I’ve written many paragraphs that I’ve since deleted ~ never published ~ because I always sound to me like I’m being condescending, when I don’t intend that. So, anyway, if and when I do come up with an acceptable theory of what it is, I’ll be sure to keep y’all posted.”
    I think I can help you out with an acceptable theory of what “it” is.
    I noticed this post from you: “The ghosts are everywhere? Oh shit, that means I just
    sat on one. I went to get a beer, and … oh … I’m so sorry”
    Here is my theory of what “it” is – Beer Blogging – Can happen to the best of us. Have done it myself.
    In my view, the worst comments toward others have come from Yawn. I found them to lack any semblance of substance and made entirely of nothing but acrid sarcasm and prepubescent mockery.
    I enjoy both Virtuvius and Revnant Dream’s contributions. I especially like the “Dinner Table” debating atmosphere on this site.
