I’ve wondered about this concerning a number of blogs I frequent. I’ve concluded that they are either mentally ill, or extreme partisan apostles, or paid.

Personally, I think some days, liberals look around and all is well with the world. There is food in the fridge, the job they've had for the last 10 years is fairly secure…stock market is up, gas prices down. On these days, they are forced to really hunt down something to get angry about…..because they are used to being twisted into a pretzel all the time. It is their natural state.

I read recently that Lady Margaret Thatcher was fairly senile. I hadn’t known that. Such a shame…she’d have _loved_ Sarah!

Let’s do a little armchair psychoanalysis of a person who would make it a habit of reading blogs of people whose opinions he finds no value in and believes them to be a waste of everybody’s (including his own) precious time….

What would be the psychological malfunction of such a person who continues to wallow on such a miserable blog (presuming he doesn’t have some kind of computer virus that automatically directs his browser to the Sundries Shack every time he tries to visit any of the more supremely enlightened blogs like the Daily Kos)?

Actually, he didn't say he was gonna analyze the text, he said he was gonna psychoanalyze her. Which can most certainly be done (probably better so) by reading BETWEEN the lines and putting them into context as well.

And as much as I enjoy having a devil's advocate to get the post-blog discussions going, if you really REALLY resent Jimmie's blogging, you are more than welcome to leave. He will keep posting and some of us are quite happy about it, so no need to make a stink.

Yeah I saw this earlier at Hot Air and read this ignorant twits article. Can I have that 5 minutes back? Like I give a furry fat rats ass what anyone in England thinks about this anyway. And I am 1/2 English BTW. Dad was in the Air Force and met my mom there. God I’m glad I didn’t have to be raised there.

J: "What galls this lady most is not anything she mentioned."

That's the most brilliant sentence I've heard all week! Your new method of textual analysis– whereby all analysis of the text is strenuously avoided– is sure to be the next great leap forward in literary criticism circles!

No, really, why do you bother getting out of bed in the morning? Please consider putting yourself (and us) out of your (and our) misery very soon, won't you?

You actually agree with her on many things. See the links to her pieces in the respective papers at top right here:
