There seems to be quite a feud going on in our community. Octopus has jumped on Will "Take No Prisoners" Hart for listing a bunch of names. Will is mad because he's been labeled a moderate extremist by the author of the outstanding blog, Sleeping With the Devil, Whirling Dervish. John Myste chimed in and in a coup worthy of Truth 101 himself, both complimented and insulted WD.
My man Les, aka. Rational Nation chimed in also. claiming he was insulted at something my friend Shaw said about right wing tattooed neanderthals. Les has a tattoo and was insulted. Les isn't a neanderthal. Anyone that smokes fine cigars and drinks Portuguese wine can't be a neanderthal. Then again, Rush Limbaugh smokes fine cigars but I don't know what kind of wine he drinks so maybe Les is just half neanderthal.
There's always a war of googling info from Politifact. Huffington Post. Wikipedia. The Heritage Foundation. Cato Institute and other sites at Dave W's Freedom Rants and at Will's Contra O'Reilly. Will got so mad that he "patted himself on the back" according to Octo, and declared his intellectual honesty.
Truth is, as far as intellectual honesty, I'm the most intellectually honest person in the whole world of blogdom. I say everything from the heart. I only google something if I forget how to spell a name or use a picture. My life experiences provide scope enough I see no need to get help from Huffington Post or The Cato Institute. I carry the sword of wisdom and experience and the shield of truth. My dog is fat and lazy. My kids have no respect for me. My brother, TAO and Octo are the three smartest people I know. (I've never met TAO or Octo in person) My Mom was the smartest person I ever knew. Jesus that woman was on the ball. Dropped out of school and joined the Navy. Served during WWII. Helped me through high school and college. Wouldn't have passed trig or calculus without her help. Not bad for a lady with no formal education.
Les is a good guy. So is Will. Dmarks is a good guy who is deluded in reasoning. I'll straighten him out when I feel like it.
So go google and wikipedia all you want. But before anyone wants to run around declaring their honesty and scholarship, remember good old Truth 101 is and always will be the shining example of honesty and self reliance. I'm like a real version of what republicans want to believe about Ronald Reagan. They are welcome to put my bust on Mt. Rushmore.

Sorry, but I would rather see a female bust.
It would be dishonest of me to disagree with you Jerry.
Based on the title, I naturally assumed this article was about me. Imagine my disappointment to learn that it was about a lesser paragon of genuineness.
The best intro I ever gave a wrestler when I had my wrestling business was when I called a guy who's stage name was Steve Steele "The real deal."
After the show the wrestlers and audience all said that I was the true real deal.
Proof positive John. You can fight it out for the number two position around here dude.
Joe - Your bust will be right next to mine. :)
But honestly truth - when it come to truth and honesty - you are the most honest and truthful.
What is it they say: "Second place is the first loser?"
Continue fighting the good fight John. The shame is not in finishing second. It's in not trying.
Did I ever tell you about the idiot that worked for me and wanted to be a wrestler? Shithead didn't understand it was fake and clocked me right in the head.

Yes. Confucious. Learned much of his philosophy watching old Charlie Chan movies.
Sidney Toler kicked ass.
I gotta be honest with you, Truth. In the 4 plus years that I've been blogging, I have met far more lunatics on the left than I have the right. Maybe it's because I tend to frequent blogs on the left (I understand that this Malcontent character is a piece of work on the right) and it's just the law of averages or something. But compare Les, Heathen Republican, and dmarks to this Octopus fellow. All three of those guys know that I voted for Obama and that I'm also in favor of raising taxes on the wealthy and none of THEM have ever eviscerated for it. I only get this purity test from people like wd, Octopus, and the miscreants over at Lydia Cornell's blog (remember her, the younger daughter on "Too Close for Comfort"?). Of course, it also might have to do with the fact that I wear a "I Hate Conservatives but I REALLY Fucking Hate Liberals" t-shirt. That might be a major part of it, too.
@ Truth... "My man Les, aka. Rational Nation chimed in also. claiming he was insulted at something my friend Shaw said about right wing tattooed neanderthals. Les has a tattoo and was insulted. Les isn't a neanderthal. Anyone that smokes fine cigars and drinks Portuguese wine can't be a neanderthal. Then again, Rush Limbaugh smokes fine cigars but I don't know what kind of wine he drinks so maybe Les is just half neanderthal."
First, I have 7 tattoos, so I must be a dyed in the wool Neanderthal ;)
Second, I prefer MUCH stronger full bodied Nicaraguan cigars as opposed to Limbaugh's milder wimpy ones.
Third, the razor edge truth emanates daily from Rational Nation.
And fourth and finally, my man Will nailed it!
Screw'em all, now where is the buffet line.
There are millions of blogs Will. I suggest you visit Donald Douglas' American Power. He's as nuts as they come and has a link list of Christ only knows how many right wing kooks you can enjoy.
Happy Thanxgiving Truth to you and your familia ....
happy thanksgiving, joe, and to all.
may each of you give thanks as intended by the one who proclaimed it as a just way of a nation to be thankful,
Thanksgiving
Joe - You are the beacon of Truth and Honestly - and Self-Reliance.
But although I am quite fond of you I am not in Love with you.
For you see I am madly in Love with Bill Maher.
It's not my fault - it just happened and it's too late.
but Joe you are right up on the top of my list as far as respect and admiration goes - you and Dudley both.
I'll check him out, Truth. I would love nothing more that to be stood corrected on this.
While you're at it you can check out Ameican Nihilist where my dudes repsac, Kevin and I make fun of the nutty professor.
Truth, I made this comment on American Power. It's currently awaiting moderator's approval......."The fact that Romney has to do this Kabuki dance with the right/a decent and sensible guy like Huntsman can't seem to get over 1% shows just how much that the Republican party has changed. As a centrist Independent who isn't intrinsically opposed to voting Republican, I thoroughly lament this shift." We'll see if the individual posts it.
Will: "I Hate Conservatives but I REALLY Fu**ing Hate Liberals" t-shirt. That might be a major part of it, too.
I didn't know you had a T-shirt saying that, but yes, that sentiment has something to do with it.
Will: All three of those [conservatives] know that I voted for Obama... I only get this purity test from people like wd, Octopus, and...
Purity tests are the purview of the Republican Party. Everybody knows that.
You get on better with the Conservatives you mention because they realize you're more in agreement with them than with me or Octopus (we realize it too... you're the only one who seems not to).
Truth: I say everything from the heart. I only Google something if I forget how to spell a name or use a picture.
I didn't know that not Googling for info made one honest. If that's the case then I guess you are far more honest than me.
As for my "outstanding blog", anyone who is interested can visit it here.
dmarks, Les, and Heathen Republican don't seem to have a purity test, wd. And, yeah, I probably AM closer to them than I am to you 2 fellows - Connecticut is, after all, closer to the other other U.S. states than it is to Jupiter.
Alack and alas! Ye fly the colors of honesty, 'tho ne'er to a fault.
