Matthew wins the Andrew Sullivan butt hurt award.

I knew that review had to be a Moron. 

Yeah, tell you what, I'm of the you first theory on civility and decorum.  Go ahead, leftys, you stop denying my very fucking existence and then, then I will possibly maybe someday consider treating you with an excess of decorum.  Until that point?  Throat, meet boot, boot, meet throat. 

I'll = I'd

I need more coffee.

None of these punks should expect anything other than an attack lurking around every corner.

---

These attacks should be virtual, linguistic and pranky i presume. Cause i suck at the kind Kato used to pull on inspector Clouseau.

With respect to Laura W, who I think made an excellent statement, I believe we're all finally waking up to the fact that they think we're evil, and we KNOW they're evil.  Only evil people have to lie to support their beliefs.  Only evil people seek to undermine and destroy the greatest culture that has ever been.  Only evil people think it's OK to murder infants because they lack personhood. 

These people are, more and more, revealing themselves to be Stalin lovers, and Mao wannabes.  They're scum. 

Wow. Who to thank.  First I'd like to thank God. Second I'd like to thank my parents insurance company who did not cover controceptives. I wouldn't be here without that lack of coverage..

>>Someone stupid enough to piss off half the country with tweets about a revered leader of the conservative movement a few days before he releases a book, kinda deserves all the karma we can send his way.. stupid f*ck.

This.

I used to think it was impossible to have negative amounts of self awareness.

I've learned so much from the lefties.

The best part is that the "book" is actually a 20 page PDF file.

He essentially put some blog posts together, called it a book and charged 4 bucks for it.

What an ass

I read the reviews last night and the wife asked me what I found so damn funny. I even laughed at the sphincter tight lame lefty comebacks. Well done chaps and chappettes.

Laura's wrong about this:  The left (at least the "smart" ones / the ones in charge) are evil.  Pure fucking evil.  Being "wrong" simply doesn't cover their relentless drive toward tuning freeborn people into subjects of the State.  The useful idiots of the left are to be judged as evil on a case-by-case basis.

42 Video of Obama at Harvard at link in name. Per Ben Smith via Buzzfeed. He sounds the same.

Not really. He's relatively coherent, but without a teleprompter. If he could do it then, why can't he do it now?

Carbonite drops 9% in one day, among the worst on NASDAQ. Maybe it was just a fluke.

HI, CONCERN TROLL!!!

"but were offended by how he defamed Shirley Sherrod, doctored the ACORN and Planned Parenthood tapes, and invaded Rep. Weiner's privacy without criticizing Sen. Vitter."

Mighty early for blatantly lying, Herr Moby.

Dennis the Peasant (blog still on the net, but he has retired) would routinely ridicule the stupidity of Yglesias and Amanda Marcotte.

Yglesias is an idiot, regardless of his pedigree or credentials. He deserves all the abuse and calumny that he gets.

Born stupid, cultivated stupid, and he will remain stupid tomorrow.

Congrats to whoever did the Alex K review with the veiled Paul Anka rant reference - that was a beautiful piece of subtlety and artfully well-done.  Definitely flew under the Amazon censor's radar.

from 2006.  That Gentle, Gentle Left.

Hey Matt Ygreasyass

A man learns something he can learn in no other way, when he holds a cat by the tail.

BREITBART IS HERE

Reading this has given me a new appreciation for the merits of Vogon poetry. Rumors that the manuscript was written on a typewriter that uses crayons cannot be dismissed out of hand. I gave it one star but should mention that that one star is in fact a black hole from which neither light nor interesting prose can escape.

on the plus side, the spelling errors were not egregious and the words did tend to make more sense when read from left to right. Think i'll ship my copy to Gitmo on the off-chance that a terrorist will write secret notes in it so that the Marines can burn it.

Left my review.  It has the advantage of sounding completely sincere while suggesting people read Sowell instead and mentioning that jealousy doesn't help an author come up with fresh material.

Does this mean I'm starting to 'get' trolling?

What does she have to do with Carbonite? /sarc

I hope that POS show doesn't last one season. Imagine running a show called Good Gay Bitches. That shows gays in a negative light.

Now the left is after Patricia Heaton, who formerly played the female lead in "Everybody Loves Raymond" and now is the lead in another show.

Apparently it was AverageJoe.  He really over estimated peoples' patience at this point.

Posted my review yesterday, and it's still there!    I'm shocked, considering it makes reference to necrophiliac    bestiality.

"Anyone got any suggestions on new definitions for Yglesias?"

Yglesias (noun):  An eye condition caused by frequent contact with the intermixed semen of at least four men.  This condition is often exascerbated when the recipient falls unconscious through the overdose of rave drugs, leaving the semen to dry overnight. Yglesias is treatable with high-end antibiotics and a pressure washer.

"Anyone got any suggestions on new definitions for Yglesias?"

------------------

Yglesias: (adj.) 1) Doomed to fail (e.g., "My neighbor's attempt to boost gas mileage by drafting behind tractor trailers was an Yglesias idea.");  2)  perceived by some to be of meaning or consequence, but is in fact entirely meaningless and inconsequential; overrated (e.g., "At the close of the previous millenium, many people were worried that 'Y2K' would cause widespread failures in computer systems throughout the world and could lead to an electronic apocalypse.  These fears proved to be Yglesias.")

antonym: Breitbart

There are 266 reviews now. When I wrote mine, there were about 40.

In a  24 hour period during which I cycled between seething homicidal rage and explosive anger, it is a rare bright spot to know I played a small part in ruining this cocksucker's day.

As a researcher of "Bigfoots" (Sasquatchs in scientific terms), I must point out that Squatchs do NOT travel in herds, they are solitary beings that do not travel in groups, but when a family of Squatchs is on the move, it is a "pack".

Also, Squatchs have more taste than wanting to have teh buttsex with Yglesias.

Good Muslim Bitches

Are you kidding?  Anyone associated with the show would end up starring in their very own very special show - a low-budget horror show co-starring a group of swarthy foreign dudes with dull butcher knives.

She's about as Christian as Barry:

She has spoken publicly about her religious faith; she describes herself as a "non-judgmental, liberal Christian". According to The New York Times, when Chenoweth "assured her theater fans that she supports gay rights her Christian base was outraged; she was disinvited from performing at a Women of Faith conference in September 2005." To promote the album, she made an appearance on The 700 Club that upset some of her gay fans. She later said she thought that the "Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of the world are scary" and that she regretted appearing on the show. She dated producer/writer Aaron Sorkin

I've gone over. I'm playing to destroy them however I can. I don't care anymore. I think they are a horrible disease that needs to be eradicated.

Hmm... If Amazon IS deleting reviews, I'll just post mine here for posterity.  That way it will always be out there in the ether, haunting Matt Yglesias like the memory of his credibility:

------

You will never read a more insightful and poignant memoir of acute mental illness (March 6, 2012)

Into a world where rent is too high; unemployment too pervasive; mortgages too underwater; "green" industries too laughable; the White House too corrupt; union goons too strung out on blow; and the stench of Occupy Wall Street and its satellite protests too overpowering; there emerges a man of such vision and conviction that he is happy to employ the catchphrase of a niche candidate from the New York gubernatorial election and make it his own. He strides purposefully through the smoking carcasses of countless strawmen, casting legitimacy to the wind and crying, "Fear not, good citizens! I bring you good tidings of great joy! For your government sugar daddy shall lay upon you heaps of wealth redistributed from millionaires who make more than $250,000 a year. Yea, there shall be a tofurkey in every stewpot, and arugula in every salad. You will not know the pain or the fear of self-determination, for the loving embrace of government cheese shall soak the will to live from your flabby, demanding bodies until you become little more than mindless drones. Yea, mindless drones who shall live happily in prescribed government housing, welcoming with dull-eyed celebration the annual increase in your chocolate ration! The rare holiday where you are permitted to use more than one square of toilet paper when you visit the john in the middle of the night, your path lit only by the flickering, unreliable CFL that dangles from your hall ceiling! YES, good people! See what this world has delivered to you and rejoice! I, MATT YGLESIAS, DECLARE IT, AND IT IS SO!"

It will break your heart as you read the insane screeds Yglesias scrawls across every page in red felt tip pen and blue crayon. "How oh how," you will wonder, "could such a delusional narcissist ever get published? Did the strait jacket not restrain him enough to keep his hands away from the keyboard? Where was the nursing staff to give him his medication or, failing that, a substantial dose of ketamine? This guy... Seriously, this guy is not healthy. Is this book even legal? Should I be reading this? Because I don't think I should be reading this. Isn't bestiality a crime in this country? Or is the criminality negated because the sheep was dead at the time?"

Your guess is as good as mine, friend. Your guess is as good as mine.

One star, because it's filled with unintelligible nonsense. And because the copy I bought off a homeless Gender Studies graduate on Broadway was smeared with feces. But mostly the unintelligible nonsense.

Don't have a 'Zon account, but I will gladly write reviews for those of you who do have one, but aren't feeling funny today (not that I'm necessarily funny...)

(5 Stars)  This book was a jubilant romp from start-to-finish as Matt Yglesias invites us to explore an alternate universe eerily similar, yet still incredibly different from our own.  One of the most compelling works of fiction I've read in quite some time.

And the included self-portraiture was resplendent.  Those of you who complain about the photo-montage completely missed the purpose of this artful expression of the natural human form and the many ways with which passion can be expressed.  Do you all shower in the dark, lest you scandalize yourselves with your own reflections in the mirror?  Prudes, all of you."

BTW, last year I tried to pitch a pilot for a show called "Good Commie B*tches," but pretty soon I got all tangled up in an intellectual-property lawsuit.  Apparently Al Gore has an entire cable TV network already making my show.

Who knew?  I mean, I wouuld have figured that "Currant TV" would have been some sort of cooking channel...

I just went through all 285 reviews and rated a bunch of them.  Anything that referenced bestiality, nude pictures, or was obviously written by a moron got a thumbs up.  Anything review that gave it 4 or 5 star s(except the obviously satirical ones) got a thumbs down.

Like a dozen more 1 star reviews got added while I was reading them.  Keep up the good work, fellow morons!

 >>>Consequently, many of his many fans are unhappy with me.<<<

This guy is a writer?

Dear Matt,

I'm pretty sure that not just "many" of Breitbart's many fans are unhappy with you.  I'd wager that ALL of Breitbart's many fans are unhappy with you.

Signed,

Reality

PS:  You never call anymore...

 So, we're going to scream bloody murder whenever the left gets down in the mud and acts like immature thirteen year olds.

 But when we do it, it's perfectly ok! In fact, it's GREAT when we do it!

'Dingleberry' comes to mind.

"Cluebat: If you raise the level of debate - and act like adults who had a clue -they won't be able to keep up. "

You're absolutely right.  That's why Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are so ineffective at shaping any sort of narrative, no matter how hard they try.  That's why Hermain Cain and Rick Perry are still in the race.  That's why actual analysis of the candidates' merits trumped feelings of white guilt and reverse-raaaaacism in 2008.

That's why all of the best videos of Breitbart show him sitting patiently, hand raised, waiting for his turn to speak.

They are sniping at us from the bushes.  And we are still standing in rank-and-file rows, waiting on them to fall in on their side of the field and start the battle.  Shall we continue to wait, or shall we crack on and start shooting back on our own?

Rule # 1 of conservative internet discourse - if Warren Bonesteel makes one of his highly-anticipated rare appearances from the Olympian heights to condemn you, then you can be certain you're absolutely, positively, unquestionably in the right.

Rule # 2 is that every time someone mentions the Dunning-Kruger effect, Warren gets a royalty as the first and longest-serving test subject.
