Each day, we see how many items Google finds that include the words: “vastleft” and “bugfucker.”

**THE END**

First of all, I’d like to thank my research assistant vastleft for expertly tabulating the vastleft bugfucker watch tally for yesterday (midway down this thread) because I totally forgot to do it. Secondly, I’d like to thank the Senior Humanpeoples of the Mighty Rumproast Rib Shack (sorry, the term “Senior Fellows” is horribly sexist) for engaging in a sometimes extremely tense five-hour-long meeting to determine whether to keep the vastleft bugfucker watch going or not. Had Harold Ickes not shown up at the end to lay some motherfucking “fair reflection” on us I don’t think we would have made it out of there alive. And last but not least I’d like to thank Correntewire commenter amberglow, who had a problem wrapping their head around the term “bugfucker,” for delivering what may be the most unintentionally funny blog comment of 2008:

i’ve never even heard it as an insult before—how is it even possible?

That made shoveling life-giving martyrdom into vastleft’s slop bucket totally worth it. Long live PB 2.0! Embrace the bugfuckery!

I think vastleft is missing the point; vastleft/bugfucker is hardly news. Searching Google News for vastleft bugfuckery would be like searching “water/wet”.

I submit to vastleft to allow just a smidgen of oxygen into her worldview; a majority white nation elected a black man for the first time in the history of history, much less our puny 232 years. Unless she can come up with a precedent?

Uh oh, now you’ve done it, Mrs. Polly. vastleft is a guy. You are about to be boldly shrilled.

I checked in on the great histeria watch today and saw he is referencing an article by John Pilger to reinforce his sense of the unhistorical nature of the Obama presidency. Having some courteous and thoughtful comments to make with respect to Mr. Pilger’s viewpoints, I attempted to register and comment. Using marindenver as a user name got me smacked down good. So I added co to the end and got told my application to be a member was being moderated and I would receive an e-mail decision later. That was a while ago so still waiting to see what happens.

VLBF’s a guy? Oooops. How mysogynist of me to assume a writer of that caliber was a woman. I’m going to flagellate myself with the shreds of my equanimity now.

Does shrilling hurt any worse than listening to a half-hour of Conflusians Say?

Kind of off topic but not really.

Dear Hugh Jass:

At the end of this long campaign, I am writing to congratulate and thank you for your steadfast work on behalf of our country. All of us are probably not pleased with the outcome of the election, but we all accept it and will do our individual part to continue to serve the best interest of this nation we love…

Get it?!?!?1? HUGE ass! Bahahahahaha! I also signed up as Ben Dover, Amanda Love and Sheik Yerbooti. Epic Lady Loon de Rectumpoot FAIL. I got the idea from my 5th grader.

Betty, that’s too funny. I still don’t spend a lot of time at Flowbee’s Fortress of Fucknuttery, but I did notice yesterday that they’re making a desperate effort to furiously backpeddle and pretend like they abhor xenophobia and racism. All of a sudden they’re oh so worried about how some of their commenters are acting. I wonder if Flowbee is getting concerned that those sweetheart gov’t contracts he gets are going to dry up if he keeps running an online insane asylum?
