Wrong. And if you didn't read her 'TeeVee' thread and the whole Long Sunday thread about TeeVee, in which she proved 'you all watch teevee and I bought your eyeballs by making my fortune in Teevee shows and I'm now exploiting you,' then why did you even comment at all. She lost her position as bullying shrew chiefly because she thought I was some kind of NYC ally and superficial enough aesthete to be able to fool while she worked to drum up audience to condescend to. If you think that works, that's one more reason why she has tons of money and you don't--and the ladies' man number is misplaced when you don't find out the details. The IT thing was only part of it, she was being exactly what the 'colonel' said she was being but trying to have it both ways: They both were. But it was valuable what IT did, because that was when the colonel showed her true colours, and with some clever collaboration between me and Kotsko and CR, she vomited the whole vile mix of her mixture of gluttonous capitalism and desire to be some sort of rich high-office Maoist cunt. Once discovered and fully exposed, she tried to regain territory today, but she has really no following except on the hardcore Commie blogs like Lenin's Tomb and Qlipoth, where she and warszawa cuss out people at huge length every chance they get in order to prove that 9/11 was an inside job.<BR/><BR/>OF COURSE you don't mind the fake vicomtesse number. It's the NYTimes you mind. Never mind that they get the news right at least some of the time, and that the TeeVee Woman just uses what news amuses her desire which, as Didion described in the White Album (well, you read German, that was one of my posts they put in either German, Russian, Cockney, white trash, or niggertalk, the pansey Commie fucks.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-1141785033844603302006-03-08T03:30:00.000+01:002006-03-08T03:30:00.000+01:00Hasn't been a problem to date, roger.

In terms of comments, this means I am pathetically grateful for any comments. Plus, I have a dim, liberal committment to dialogue and all that shit. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, sites like Long Sunday and the Valve -- successful, academic blogs - are sometimes astonishing in their lack of social graces, viz the comments section. This is unsurprising, if you have ever hung around academia. Profs very often are astonishing in their lack of the social graces. <BR/><BR/>That said, the recent Long Sunday shoot em up made no sense to me. What was it about? Damned if I know. I don't mind the "fake-vicomtesse number" like you do, Mr. NYP. Surely you know theater people. If LCC hasn't been on stage, I'll eat my hat. <BR/><BR/>You know, comments are an interesting measure of vanity. I make comments all the time at Crooked Timber. I think I'm casting out pure pearls. Yet 90% of the time, the comments just sink like pure lead. They aren't even interesting enough for somebody to disagree with. Now, I don't think I am totally crazy, but obviously I just don't get it in some ways -- that is, the key cliches to use, the way to create a lure.

They closed the comments on that thread where we were singled out for ridicule while 'les trois mousquetaires' has already completed much of her damage control, or so she thinks. That's why I said that about the MSM--both hard left and hard right think the MSM works for the other, so it's definitely where you'll find more facts than you would elsewhere. This was actually worth all the blood, because there is no way 'fonzie la rouge' was saying that as a joke, except insofar as she likes to fritter away the time with indolent sillinesses just like Marie Antoinette at her spinning wheel. But close to totalitarian, I agree. I was surprised they let me get any of my posts through, and they let Alphonse do all of her haughty fake-vicomtesse number to her heart's content.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-1141766555835682052006-03-07T22:22:00.000+01:002006-03-07T22:22:00.000+01:00Interesting, but totalitarianism now seems as prev...Interesting, but totalitarianism now seems as prevalent on the left as the right--as in blogging wars (i.e Long Sunday and "Le Colonel" for one). Moderation of all comments, deletion, bizarre editing: that's just taken for granted. One doesn't have to be a repug. to object to the Bukharin like manipulations common to about all the leftist blogs. Any hints or reason or empiricism generally are met with scorn.
