Blog Death/Rap Death (A Hitler's Career Is In The Toilet)

From Run-D.M.C.'s "Dumb Girl" to Trooper York talking about one:

"Well we have another screed from cloud cuckoo land and it is a doozy. 

It seems that the evil blogger lady wants to continue to pick a fight with the Instanerd and his wife. Not satisfied at losing her comments section and most likely all the links thrown her way that put her on the map now she is doubling down with her patented blend of pomposity, condescension, bile and wrongheadness. 

At least she acknowledges that she would have been in the middle of shitstorm if she still had comments as the 'right wingers' who came to her site from Instapundit would inundate her with push back. Which she could not deal with. She took the adult approach of putting her fingers in her ears and saying she doesn't want to talk about it anymore. She just says that the Instanerd is wrong but he doesn't want to admit that she is right. So there."

From Run-D.M.C.'s "Mary Mary" to The Evil Blogger Lady's coverage of the evil blogger lady:

"Well the thoughts that Ann's most recent meltdown were sparked by her recent interactions with Glenn Reynolds (and not her commentators) are mostly confirmed: 'I could say: I guess [Reynolds] doesn't get it. But I suspect — as my linked post insinuates repeatedly — that he knows I'm right, and he doesn't want to have to say it.' 

Well that is some hardcore circular reasoning!"

From a sniper, right before he kills, to PW's "Who Goes Nazi?" game of 1941:

"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis. It is preposterous to think that they are divided by any racial characteristics. Germans may be more susceptible to Nazism than most people, but I doubt it. Jews are barred out, but it is an arbitrary ruling. I know lots of Jews who are born Nazis and many others who would heil Hitler tomorrow morning if given a chance. There are Jews who have repudiated their own ancestors in order to become 'Honorary Aryans and Nazis'; there are full-blooded Jews who have enthusiastically entered Hitler’s secret service. Nazism has nothing to do with race and nationality. It appeals to a certain type of mind. 

It is also, to an immense extent, the disease of a generation—the generation which was either young or unborn at the end of the last war. This is as true of Englishmen, Frenchmen, and Americans as of Germans. It is the disease of the so-called 'lost generation.' Sometimes I think there are direct biological factors at work—a type of education, feeding, and physical training which has produced a new kind of human being with an imbalance in his nature. He has been fed vitamins and filled with energies that are beyond the capacity of his intellect to discipline. He has been treated to forms of education which have released him from inhibitions. His body is vigorous. His mind is childish. His soul has been almost completely neglected. 

...Believe me, nice people don’t go Nazi. Their race, color, creed, or social condition is not the criterion. It is something in them. Those who haven’t anything in them to tell them what they like and what they don’t-whether it is breeding, or happiness, or wisdom, or a code, however old-fashioned or however modern, go Nazi. 

It’s an amusing game. Try it at the next big party you go to."

And it ends with a Rapper, shot by a Nazi, who I bet - unfiltered - thinks just like Ann,...

 

Unbelievable: Jam Master Jay Is (Still) Dead

"As the backbone of seminal trio Run-DMC, Jay revolutionized the role of the hip hop DJ.

He took a somewhat static position and turned it into a dynamic force of music. Jay was at once composer, choreographer, producer and band leader. Perhaps what resonated most with me was Jay's reverence for the medium.

He approached the turntable in the spirit of a musical instrument; his deft cuts on countless records were the perfect compliment to the unexampled rhyme styles of DJ Run and DMC.

They were records that changed everything."

Joseph Nigro: We Pledge,...

TMR pledges to look at this photograph and know, with awe struck amazement, there’s nothing going on inside that head.

Her pledge: “I’m gonna give them a smile.”

How generous.

TMR pledges to stop picturing you on Bill Clinton’s lap and try hard to see you as merely irrelevant instead of sleazy and arrogant. In exchange, you will continue your stem cell research.

TMR pledges to watch in earnest as you free one million slaves. Does this mean you’ll divorce and set free your man-boy/lapdog?

TMR pledges to resist any notion that you represent this country in any way. Now go run to mommy so she can punk you.

TMR pledges to never forgive you for holding out on humanity. All this time you could have cured Alzheimer’s and yet you wait until now.

What Do These People Have In Common? They're All In Stupid NewAge Cults, Worshiping Quackery - And Killers - While Also Promoting Very Bad Art

From Madonna’s quest to “neutralise radiation” to Tom Cruise’s dismissals of psychiatry, celebrities are seldom shy about expressing their views on health and science – even when they appear not to know what they are talking about.

A roll call of public figures such as Cruise and Delia Smith have offered bogus advice or “quackery” this year, according to scientists and doctors. The charity Sense About Science is concerned that celebrities mislead the public when they endorse theories, diets or health products while misrepresenting the science involved.

Some – such as Oprah Winfrey and Kate Moss – espouse “detox” regimes, while others, such as Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, believe (mistakenly) that the Pill can cause cancer.

Nor are politicians exempt from lending credence to health myths. The US President-elect is among several American public figures who continue to suggest that the MMR vaccination is a potential cause of autism, despite an overwhelming weight of scientific evidence to the contrary.

...Demi Moore, the actress, surprises the experts with her use of “highly trained medical leeches” to “detoxify” her blood.

Kate Moss, the model, is reported to be on a strict “detox” diet of fruit and vegetables at a health spa in Thailand. But nutritionists note that such regimes exclude important food groups such as protein.

Moss’s friend Stella McCartney, the designer, was criticised last year for saying that a chemical found in skin creams was also found in antifreeze. Gary Moss, a pharmacologist, said that the chemical, propylene glycol, was versatile and its use in cosmetics was not “scary”, as claimed.

...The Sense About Science initiative is an update of a leaflet encouraging celebrities to avoid making claims until they have checked the facts. While there has been “considerable improvement” in the way British celebrities approach medicine, the charity says its files are still too full of pseudo-scientific claims. “We don’t expect people to know everything about science; the problem comes when they don’t consider checking it or asking questions.”
