January 2007


You see, sometimes, you feel like making a statement to lure some moron into demonstrating that they are just that: a moron. Let us examine the experiment concocted thusly.

So, Sean Hannity’s “Enemy of the State” segment on his show Hannity’s America labeled Sean Penn as an “Enemy of the State”. This video, of course, circulated its way onto YouTube, where the mindless masses screaming “Web 2.0!” commented, most of them commented with quite negative things to say. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to test my hypothesis. I posted this comment:

“Wow, maybe if some of the people commenting on this video could spell, then we’d have some real debate! Go back to kindergarten folks, if you cannot formulate a cohesive statement.”

Oh boy, you could not imagine how amused I was at the reply I got. This is from howler77, I imagine he is a twelve year old.

“Listen to this clown; A Hannity fan uses the word ‘cohesive’ and we should all marvel at how intelligent Hannity’s target audience is? Thank you. There is no debate to be had. FOX pundits pander to this country’s lowest common denominator: That’s you, pal! Hannity is a tool, O’Reilly is a numbskull and FOX News and their Evangelical-Right following will someday be ridiculed on VH1’s “I love the 00’s” the same way Pet Rocks were. last I checked, ‘liberals’ aren’t the ones who lied to the world about WMD’s in Iraq and about the Saddam-9/11 connection. LIED to make a case for a war which accomplished nothing but create more animosity toward the U.S., spawn a new hotbed of extremism and a veritable terrorist factory and cost thousands of American lives. Who you calling a liar? You’re a fucking moron.”

Let’s examine the basis of his argument. Ah, he moves to strike my intelligence first, what a typical start. Striking at the intelligence of someone is a quick way of trying to discredit someone, so it is no surprise that he would stoop to kindergarten tactics. Here’s some more fun: He immediately tries to use my supposed lack of intelligence to bash Fox News. Congratulations sir, you are, no doubt, a shining example of what this country has to offer. Oh, and I love whenever someone brings up the subject of WMDs. Guess what guys? There were WMDs in Iraq. They found Serin Gas and SCUD missiles a plenty, which are both considered WMDs. Here’s another interesting tidbit: Al Qaeda was in South Florida, they were in Afghanistan, they were in Syria, but they weren’t in Iraq? They just showed up the next day right? “howler77″ demonstrates how people are being brainwashed into believing whatever they hear on CBS, or ABC, or MSNBC, except that he tries to emphasize his point like a twelve year old boy. Grow up, sir. YOU HAVE BEEN TROLLED. Have a nice day. :D

Yeah…
Sorry I haven’t been around…
Life’s been hell in a handbasket lately…
Well… first off, Gene is 18 today…
Thus the last of the members (albeit I’m not an “original” member per se) of Bladen Force are adults…
But, many things have come to pass, and I’ve come to understand my friendship with “Jazon” and how it almost got destroyed by a mutual “friend” of ours… (No Coyote, not you)
I now feel as though my role in Bladen Force is becoming more of a character (but not currently a character) and also as a support, and idea guy… Cause, from time to time Jazon runs ideas by me… although, I don’t see him nearly as often as I used to…
But, alas, from time to time, I may bring anyone who wishes to know up to date on things in the computer world… like hardware and software and Linux (mmmm… Linux)…
So…
I don’t have much to say, except that I hope I can somehow try again as a solid member of this “force” of ours…

A Bladen Force update!? Who could’ve ever imagined that Bladen Force would update this soon! It’s not a real update, but I pulled back into my reservoir of sprites to bring something that will tide you over for at least a little while.

Alrighty, this should fix the nasty botspam problem, at least for a while.

After careful consideration, I have decided that Wordpress is TOTAL FUCKING SHIT and is way too complicated to work with. In the meantime, I have reinstated PHPNews.

So, we’re being attacked by spambots like crazy, so in the meantime, I have disabled commenting on all pages until these bastards can be stopped.

In Bizarro Land, us reaching 4,000 on the Top Webcomic List means we’re VERY popular!

So, Coyote is going to be spending his last bit of gift certificate money on getting me a new microphone for BladenCast, and I’m going to be getting a $20 mixer with four channels, and that should allow us to do BladenCasts anywhere, so long as we’ve got internet. It also means we can have special guests sometimes. Stay tuned and we’ll see how it all goes.

BITCHES! :D

I’m at Link’s house at a LAN party for the win!
