Jim Treacher's Blog That Is on the Internet

Hey, cut them some slack; they were thinking of Arthur Treacher.

Well, I appreciated the sly irony of derisively calling Newcomer a "self-proclaimed typography expert" in an article under the CJR tagline "America's Premier Media Monitor."

Maybe CJR is a humor blog?

I remember the night that Arthur Treacher and I sat on the couch eating popcorn shrimp while the coeds danced on stools in their nightgowns . . .

"Indeed, they could be fake but accurate, as Killian’s secretary, Marian Carr Knox, told CBS on September 15."

Really. Is that like saying Killian never said these things but he should have ?

Apparently they thought you were kidding about the unicorns.

Those bastards can't get away with this.

I'll pledge my next paycheck to hire the lawyers needed to help you sue these bastards!

(Well, it'll be just the check itself. Cancelled. But you can have it.)

Of course they are offended: everybody at columbia knows that the space unicorns government is the revolutionary ecologic democratic republic of the people of the space unicorns.

And this arthur guy called her "Queen"... like the government isn't legitimate... sheesh... expect a formal protest from the space unicorn embassy.....

Gee..... i sure love these points .......... you just push a button and they make you feel witty, cleaver and cool............

I'll improve the line:

(The "Space Unicorn" line had first appeared on Jim Treacher's progressive, decidedly pomo and emo cat-blogging journal, and quickly wound up on The Wall Street Journal's online opinion page.)

Guest, I love to feel cleaver, as long as it's june...

more points...... more cleaver........... but not yet clever enough to get that june stuff........

even if i try ...... very hard.........

Jim Treacher's blog is really a space princess.

With sparkles.

"...while the coeds danced on stools in their nightgowns . . ."

What were the stools doing in their nightgowns?

What I think is funny is that while all the "Queen of the Space Unicorn's detractors are spouting sanctimoniously about the "forged memorandums", Paragraph F of the investigative panel's report leaves the whole thing wide open:

"F. Authenticity of the Killian Documents

The Panel was not able to reach a definitive conclusion as to the authenticity of the Killian documents."

Then there is Killian's Secretary, who said (paraphrased): 'yep.. those memorandums aren't authentic, but they accurately reflect Killian's feelings about Bush.

"Killian's former wife, son and secretary all questioned the validity of the memos, though his secretary said they did reflect his views at the time about Bush."

Of course that means there is exactly one witness to their accuracy and several (at least) to their inaccuracy, and somehow this means that the story still stands. What was hilarious was Rather interviewing her to hold up a story on phony documents... if the documents were not part of the story at first, and they only had her word to back it up, there probably wouldn't be a story to begin with. But then again, this is CBS.

Yeah, that is pretty funny.

"What were stools doing in their nightgowns?"

That sounds messy.

The stools were having a "Holly Hobby" moment. That's how Arthur and I always referred to that night afterwards, Holly Hobby Night. As opposed to Disaster Night, which involved Korean food, bowling, hideous amounts of alcohol, a near bar fight caused by my Inorganic Chemistry professor, and his comment that "I believe I can crush his nuts."

That guy simply ignores the facts and says "despite the fact that the story is totally made up and we lied to try to sell it to the masses, we still think you should believe it and those mean old bloggers just aren't allowed to interfere with our monopoly of the news".

If that's the best the MSM can come up with in their own justification, they are way totally toast.
