How To Tell When Your Anchorman Is City Folk

Thanks to a regular Palousitics reader for the funny video.

Ode to June 10, 2008

With apologies to Sweet Baby James:

Oohhhh, I've seen fire, and I've seen Dino.
I've seen snowy days in June and a winter that would never end.
I've seen glorious times when a Wal-Mart building permit was finally a go,
But I'll see you all at lunch tomorrow, one more time again.

Good night Pullman, we love you!!

Quote of the Day

When you match my success in corporate America, as an advisor all the way to the top of some very large corporations, then we'll talk.

You've never given any evidence that you're anything other than a dead-end small-town loser that's even afraid to stand out in a rather small community.

That's the truth. Too bad for you-- as well as the rest of your pathetic cohort.

- Chuck "Mr. Civil Discourse" Pezeshki, online comment at Dnews.com, April 19, 2008.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Chuck is demonstrating how a six-figure salary tenured professor engages in the third-grade schoolyard game known as a "pissing contest." (One wonders what Chuck "advises" these corporations on.)

He's also, indirectly, acknowledging that he has no further aspirations for elected office.

If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh?

If you have an online subscription to the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, you need to get over there RIGHT NOW and check out the comments to Chris Lupke's heel-clicking, dress-swishing, drama queen temper tantrum letter to the editor about me published today. There are some real gut-busters like:

As an observer, I have watched PARD keep the issues focused and not personalized. No matter the outcome for a Walmart in Pullman, they have used their rights and liberties and a democratic judicial system with grace.

And this:

I've never heard Lupke espouse that he speaks for the whole community - in fact, his arguments, whether I agree with them or not, have been well balanced and presented without name calling and labeling. I respect that more than those who would make assumptions about others' moral authority because they have their own reasons for not wanting another walmart in the area.

Apparently this anonymous buffoon didn't read Lupke's last letter where he stated:

Most Pullmanites have little appetite for such a superfluous addition to the retail landscape, and many recognize Wal-Mart's real and well-documented harms to communities like ours.

And let's not forget PARD's infamous may 23, 2005 press release:

The volume of signatures collected clearly shows that PARD has won the battle of public opinion.

*LOL* Please say they're intentionally trying to be funny with all this revisionist history!!

Then the man who when referring to Wal-Mart in an interview said "They're ass——s," checks in with this gem:

surprise, suprise. When you cut me, I bleed too (and I guess so do you). I would probably be more devastated by cogent arguments against me than by calls that I am "run out of town" or that I should "pack up and ship out." (As few as those that are.) But I've endured that kind of what I consider ad hominem for far too long and felt it was finally necessary to let people know I don't think it's right -- or effective for that matter.

Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!! Boy, they just don't make "grassroots activists" like they used to. And calling somebody an "asshole" is pretty "cogent" I would say, even for a PhD. Almost as cogent as saying Wal-Mart would destroy the public school system and that Target was just about to build in Pullman two years ago.

Then there's this classic of all time from Lupke:

Finally, I have heard second hand that there are further attacks on me lately. I don't go that website very often and usually only to look for information not easily gotten anywhere else. I haven't been back for some time and not lately at all. Folks out there paying attention to this issue: do not necessarily believe what you read in the cyber world! Just because someone says something is true it is not necessarily true. Things can be more complicated than they seem. Silly photoshop techniques are an obvious example.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "Some time and not lately all" is 4 days, Chris? (Or maybe its five now over in Taiwan across the dateline.) I'll make sure everybody knows EVERY time you visit now, all through the wonders of "Photoshop" *LOL*, along with all the other "avowed Wal-Mart haters" out there.

My friends, this is what is known as:

IN YOUR HEAD

*LOL* Thanks for all the tremendous laughter and satisfaction, Chris. I guess some part of me will miss that when this is all over, although not the part of me that pays taxes and cares about the disadvantaged in the community.

The laughs keep on coming!

Gee, Ms Torkelson, I'm so sorry your feelings have been hurt. At least no one has libeled your character -- which seems to be the operational mode of the Forbicites.

December 8, 2007, 3:28 pm Proponent of Civility says:

Forbicite: fabricated word to indicate "followers of Forbes".
-cites is not in the dictionary as a suffix and has no independent definition that I am aware of.

December 11, 2007, 8:34 pm Proponent of Civility says:

As one who has also been subjected to the vitriolic libel of Mr. Forbes, and chosen not to sink to his level of public discourse

December 11, 2007, 10:39 pm Proponent of Civility says:

PARD is a cross-section of your neighborhood.

*ROTFLMAO*

Can I be Chuck Norris approved like Mike?

Chuck Norris endorses Mike Huckabee for President.

A Little Humor

I regret (just a little) that I didn't dress up today for Halloween. When I thought about what the scariest thing I could think of to be I naturally thought President Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately I was too late. Wal-Mart was out of witch costumes.

I heard a joke on the radio this morning on G. Gordon Liddy's show (AM 950). I thought it was pretty good. It made my morning.

Three doctors are sitting together at a bar after a big international medical convention. One is from Japan, one from Germany, and the third from the USA.

The Japanese doctor says to the other two, "Medicine in my country is the most advanced. We can replace a patient's kidney and have him out and looking for work in six weeks."

The German doctor says, "No, no. Germany has the best medicine: We just took a half a healthy heart from a donor, transplanted that half into a heart disease patient, and had both of them out looking for work in four weeks."

The American doctor smiles and nods. Leaning back he says, "The United States has you all beat. We're about to send a woman with no heart and no brain to Washington D.C., and have half the country looking for work in two weeks."

Happy Halloween!
