Watch out, Mr. Fair, because based on my experience with Markuh in hardly any time at all he may be fantasizing openly about your sex life and inquiring as to whether or not you have an erection as he's posting. He's a purrty sick lil' pup.

So a guy who claims he worked for the Corzine campaign -- who the Corzine campaign spokesperson says didn't work for the Corzine campaign -- is arrested. Is that the story?

I ask, because the story headlined "Corzine Campaign Staffer Arestred on Drug Charges" that appeared in the New York Post has been scrubbed from the Post's website.

Palook, see your care giver a.s.a.p. and ask for a review of your medications. Especially those designed to reduce the effects of your obsessive compulsive disorder. You may be in need of increased dosages.

"Must really piss you off to be punked by someone like me...BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
!!!!!"

Punked? By a punk like you, Crispee Palooka? Not on my worst day and certainly not on your best.

Here's what all the bullshit you've spread out here boils down to, Palook: "Speedball is synonymous with speed bag." Of course one can't find a speedball in any retail outlet in America that sells sporting equipment..."

I've no idea whether you can purchase a speedball (speed ball) "in any retail outlet in America," never claimed you could, and don't care. Nor do I care that your ignorance about boxing caused you to misstate the facts and you inability face up to that exposes you as a fool.

You're punched out, punchdrunk, and out on your feet. In other words, Crispee Palooka, you're a loser.

Would it please you if I said I did, Markuh?

are ya trying to convince yourself . . . or others?

Not surprisingly, the point of that post eludes you, Markuh. Consider some of your posts on this thread:

"Doc comes out of the closet on the DR?" Clearly you're interested.

"are u gonna be the alpha or beta?" I'm still waiting for your explanation of what that means, since it sounds like some sort of inside-the-beltway, those-who-know talk and I'm not inside-the-beltway and I don't know.

"ya seemed to be pretty enthusiastically cheer-leading an alternate life style." An obvious expression of disappointment that your search for a kindred spirit -- a wood sprite, perhaps? -- went unrewarded.

"pass my apologies along to your 'partner' too," sounds a lot like an expression of resignation with a heavy infusion of jealousy.

Clearly, what you call "the alternate life style" is a source of genuine fascination for you. You toss it out there to get a reaction, prepared to: (A) adopt the yuk-yuk-juss-kiddin, I'm-one-of-the-guys posture to camouflage your real intent (with which you are obviously not comfortable and must make at least some effort to repress); or (B) assume a quite different posture if your thinly-veiled come-hither signals elicit a positive response.

This may seem much ado about nothing, Markuh, but there are professionals out there who can help you work through this. You might want to consider seeking their assistance, if only to be able to live more comfortably inside your own skin.

That said, Markuh, whatever "the alternate life style" may be for you -- and whether you live it or just yearn to do so -- doesn't concern me beyond the abstracted "reality" of the virtual world here on the DR.

Please, get it through your thick skull, Markuh, I'm really not interested. (Although, as a fellow human being, I feel compelled to mechanically declare in a bored voice layered with repressed laughter, "But I am concerned.")

Finally, a word of advice, Markuh: If you stalk in real life as you seek "the alternate life style" the way you do here, trolling for the object of your desire, someone will slap a restraining order on you. Here, you just get laughed at.

It's fascinating. This is the 21st post on this thread (at least it is as I'm writing it -- another could get in before this is posted). (It's necessary to issue such quaifiers because fastidiots like The Chumpel really do get themselves lathered up over such "lies.")

Of those 21 posts -- on a thread that asks "Can the GOP Accept the End of Prohibition?" -- nearly half come from a the DR's Frick and Frack of stoopid trolls: Markuh and The Chumpel. And what do they post about? Well, The Chumpel outs himself/herself/itself as a silly, simpering Spelling Nazi who can't spell. And Markuh -- poor, poor Markuh-- he/she/it exhibits a passionate interest in the thread poster's sexual preferences.

Only Lipzoidal and I have commented on the actual topic of the thread.

And on that score, I don't see how the GOP can accept the end of prohibition (in the broad sense as used in the essay). Their base is staunchly, irredeemably puritanical and so firmly wedded to zealotry that I just don't see how they can ween themselves from prohibitionism as part of their blinkered world view.

Now, Chumpel, feel free to return to the prosaic pasttime of parsing sentences while Markuh gets oily fantasizing about my sex life.

LOL

Nice day here to get out and enjpoy actual fall weather.

...writes our resident Spelling Nazi Punk.

Gosh, it's a real sooprise GOPers would be significantly more aware of a guy many of them adore (Glennnnnnn Beck), something they vehemently hate ("Cap and Trade"), someone they were pissing and wailing against (Sotomayor), and the party that took the House of Representatives away from them in an election in which they were trounced. About as sooprising as the poll's finding that Dems are more aware of something they've been talking about frequently (US health spending v. Europe). Quelle shocker!

Just what the DR needs: Another pantaloon-pissing Spelling Nazi.

Markuh, your fascination with my sex life is flattering but, I assure you, you're not my type. I'm hetero.

"It would remove me from posting here....Do you have the balls to make the same offer?"

It's not a matter of "balls" in your case, Crispee Palooka, more like just another one of your sixth-grade punk tantrums. (On the internet, for chrissakes!?!?!?)

Besides, why on earth would I want to see you removed from posting here? Admittedly, as a source of amusement you're a bit too stupid to be able to perform with any sense of intentional irony or subtlety, and far too emotionally immature to engage in anything other than pie-in-the-face and fall-on-your-ass slapstick. Your basic flawed zircon in the pawnbroker's window; no more, no less. But, that said, still worth the occasional guffaw.

Two more hints, Palook (and the last for this thread, I'm afraid; I just dropped in for a couple of laughs at your expense):

1. "Bottom line is if you can prove post # 115 as wrong,..." Catch yourself on. Nobody -- and I mean nobody but you gives a damn what you did or didn't say in Post #115.

2. And your ageism rants? A sign of crippling immaturity.

Bottom line, Crispee? You're really just a pathetic palooka.

You just can't make this shit up, can you? Oh, sorry, I forgot Crispee Palooka: You did.

ROTFLMAO!

As an addendum...

Memo to Markuh:

Sometimes an article about the problem the GOP has with the Prohibition concept isn't all about homosexuality but about the GOP problem with Prohibition.

A tad sensitive there, aren't you, Markuh?

"Doc, ya seemed to be pretty enthusiastically cheer-leading an alternate life style with your blog selection(s)."

Really, Markuh? Which ones popped up at you (so to speak)?

I'm betting it was the Humpback Whales that got you lathered, Markuh. Yeah, definitely the whales.

By the way, have you ever heard of "projection"? Not in the sense of the job you used to have down at the multiplex, but as used in the disciplie of psychology. You really ought to look into it sometime.

My mistake, Markuh. The first letter of the old Greek alphabet is indeed alpha. Beta, however, is the second, not the last letter. (Whcih is omega.) I'd hate to have Crispee Palooka or Minmal Effort Joe Blackstone feel the need to throw a hissy fit over that.

Uh, Markuih, I didn't write the article

"sooo, congrats . . . I guess - -
are u gonna be the alpha or beta?"

You assume I'm homosexual because someone else wrote that? Markuh, that's as stoopid as me assuming you'r hetero. By the way, given your familiarity with such terms of art as "alpha" and "beta," could you tell me what they mean (other than being the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet)?

Doc comes out of the closet on the DR?

Asks "Mark," spelled with an "h."
Say, "Markh," is the "h" silent or pronounced with a petulant sigh?

Oohrah -

Woulda loved to've heard Slapsy Maxie Rosenblum sputter it, though I'll bet Yogi Berra could give the word some nice resonation.

Care to explain what you're yammering about? Or are you just going to run away?

"Can the GOP Accept the End of Prohibition?"

What else have they got beyond finger waggling, moralistic lecturing, and the assumption that they represent The Truth? Those are critical ingredients in creating the prohibitionist's souffle, which will (to be sure) rise...only to collapse on itself soon thereafter.

Final note to Minnal Effort Joe Blackstone and Crispee Palooka: Yes, I do know that "And, please, in future?" (see above) is not a complete sentence which is not necessarily the same thing, strictly speaking, as an incomplete sentence although under certain circumstances it may very well be.

JOE thinks you're a p.o.s. liar. You've posted a story that turns out not to be true. You should burn up in a place where people like you burn up.
