Rule 5 Sunday

Posted on | August 15, 2010 | 29 Comments

by Smitty

A bumper crop of Rule 5 links, and some time for a pleasant write-up. Enjoy.


At a sufficiently high level of abstraction, “Wino throwing frisbees at the sun. . .” is fungible with a Keynesian Economist, no?

One Eyed Doll fix: “New Orleans”

(How is this lady not more famous?)

At any rate, that’s all for now. Keep the Rule 5 coming, and we’ll catch you later.


Jenn Sterger is hereby kicked South of the tear line of shame. Those with the stomach to post on this nitwit include:

If she supports her allegations with facts, I’ll cheerfully amend my opinion that she’s engaged in Warholism.

    People can think what they want; I’m coming out against all the pointless ad mommanem attacks.

    Except we wouldn’t care what Michelle looks like if the MFM wasn’t clearly lying that she’s one of the most beautiful women in the world as an exercise in propaganda. Thus the well-deserved pushback.

    Smitty: Forgetting who and what she is, Lady Michbeth is not attrative – she’s rather plain in the face and her body is rather blah. Her fashion choices as First Lady have been bloody awful.

    I agree, however, that we should not attack her for her looks, but for the very unattractive and awful views she holds.

    Smitty: I certainly didn’t mean it that way. I have a soft spot in my heart for camp followers. I even wrote and recorded a song about one named Salome.

    How about: Warholwhoreism [def: getting you 15 minutes of fame by being a whore in several senses]?

    Andy spoke for me already, but I never shut up!

    Michelle still gets the full leprechaun because while the Obots, with eyes glazed over, painting murals to their glorious leader, realized they had to get Michelle involved in the breathless adulation, they anointed her the most beautiful first lady ever. Way over the top. They went too far.
    This opened the door to commenting on her looks because the MSM, in effect, said every other first lady before her wasn’t as good looking. It’s not only shallow, it’s insulting. It’s delusional. It’s untrue.
    My role is to put her into proper perspective. In order to achieve proper proportion and combat the other side’s agitprop you need to create some of your own.
    I’m proud of each and every disparaging piece I ever did on Michelle. She may be a wonderful lady (pfffft) but I do believe proper agitprop takes votes away.
    It doesn’t sway thinking voters, but it definitely takes some of the allure and excitement away from the Obamas that otherwise would induce faddish people into voting for them.
    It’s important to keep them home.
