For those watching the DUmmie "William Pitt" this past week was surely a wondrous one, full of explosive fireworks, on the heels of several weeks of utter silence on this subject from the DUmmie "William Pitt."
It appears the DUmmie "William Pitt" finally read what had been said about him.....about four weeks too late.
The guy is hurt, angry, insulted, and it showed.
This is reminescent of a similar event about nine weeks ago, when the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson finally discovered the DUmmie FUnnies, and were alas for them three weeks too late.
One suspects that during his weeks of silence on the matter, the DUmmie "William Pitt" had been ignoring the DUmmie FUnnies, the DUmmie Alert!s, and conservativeunderground, voluntarily unaware that such places were commenting upon his silence.
This has always mystified--and sometimes amused--me, this propensity of some segments in our society to ignore the "political opposition" as if it did not exist, or did not count.
It should be no wonder they keep losing elections.
Okay, so I am a Republican and a conservative, and hang around a great deal on Republican and conservative web-sites.....but I hang around a lot more on Democratic and liberal web-sites, to see what is going on, on the other side of the aisle.
Many people (of all political stripes) tend to hang around those whose values and perceptions match their own, for affirmation of those values and perceptions; by being along with like-thinking people, they feel strengthened, reinforced.
But a truly confident person has no need for "team support;" strong enough in his values and confident of his perceptions, he feels utterly unthreatened scouting around for values and perceptions different from his own.
Perhaps the DUmmie "William Pitt" is unsure and shaky in his own political convictions, and so as to reinforce them, hangs around with his own crowd, fearful of looking into what another crowd is doing or saying, lest his political convictions get shattered.
Which is no sign of a person confident about himself.
And it has obvious disadvantages, not looking at what "other side" is saying or doing.
When the DUmmiette "sfexpat2000" started the fund-raiser the afternoon of April 28, 2005, she should have posted her solicitation in DUmmieland, and immediately parked herself in front of the DUmmie FUnnies, to see what was being said about the matter, from the other side. If she had done that, the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson would have been aware of their missteps, their contradicitons, their omissions, in time to correct such things.
But no, instead, the DUmmiette "sfexpat2000" hung around her own crowd, in the comfortable cocoon of DUmmieland, voluntarily unaware of the furor outside, and the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson were three weeks--three weeks!--three weeks!--three weeks!--too late in seeing what the DUmmie FUnnies were saying about the matter, after which it was far too late to correct matters.
Such behavior--not looking to see what is going on in the great big wide world outside--I had compared with four affluent old dowagers (and remember, with only one exception, the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson are not young) gathering for their Wednesday afternoon bridge game, in an affluent living room with large picture-windows on all four sides.
While the rich old ladies gab and gossip around the card-table, in that living room with large windows all around, a tornado suddenly sweeps though.....and they indignantly wonder what had hit them.
The situation of the DUmmie "William Pitt" is more analogous to that of a post-office clerk in Germany the spring of 1945 (this is a true story, told me a long time ago by a British army veteran who had actually seen the sight); the guy so meticulous, so scrupulous in his duties, that he was unaware of the wider world outside.
While the post-office clerk was noting the number of staples, sheets of paper, various denominations of postage stamps, the metal and paper contents of the till, the British army swept through his town; much destruction, shooting, explosions, buildings falling down.
But the post-office clerk was so diligent in his tasks that he remained oblivious, utterly ignorant, of the noise and tumult and fire and smoke outside his front window, until he had finished accounting for the final pencil-stub and paper-clip.
Only then did he look up, look outside the windows upon his destroyed village, and in stunned shock and awe, stuttered, "What happened?"
Gosh, I'd really like to go, honest, I would. But I have a motorcycle ride scheduled for that day. Shucks.
If he had only had his surgery in Seattle he'd never had met that bug at Johns Hopkins. DUmmie irony at its gallows humor best.
I still think he's too fat to have either cancer or the HIV. May he rest in peace.
It has been an adventure, hasn't it?
I say "good grief". I still can't keep up with all the lies and stuff. They are masters at public relations in the political realm and know that the koolaid drinkers will believe anything they say no matter how obvious the lie, or how unbelievable it might be.
I tell you - (not that I doubt for a second that Andy is in a better place right now -- upstairs in heaven some say) -that even if Andy were to be located alive in Aruba barefoot, drinking ice tea in a tall glass, on the white sand beaches watching the sun set - the andyites could and would turn it around and blame us that he was there and create more firestorms of hatred towards us for him not having sandals.
I need one of those wallboards you see in detective shows to try and sort it all out.
True story. My wife's cousin tore her ACL and was taken to the nearby hospital. While some nurse was examining her, some A$$hat was yakking on his cell phone, the nurse told him to turn the cell phone off but the creep persisted, even after being shown a sign to turn the cell phone off. Finally, the guy rolled his eyes and stormed out. The name of that a$$hat: John Kerry.
Earlier in this thread frank added info which was new to me. In March of 04, the DUmmies discussed John Ashcroft's illness and andy asked if it was "life threatening.That's all I want to know."
This makes me wonder if he knew he had a problem long ago. So now the time line might need to start even earlier.
I think I could have left out the word "one" and let wallboard(s) remain.
lol
"How big are your walls??? LOL"
Good question. I can picture this taking up several walls.
I read it that he wanted ashcroft to die. Gotta read the whole thread. There are other examples of this behavior when others were sick or dying. Ashcroft is a good example because of the pancreas issue and similarities.
It's no adventure I'm in any hurry to have again.
Given that the acolytes of Andy are threatening to sue us for, well, for a whole lot of things, I am wondering if I could countersue the acolytes of Andy.
Because the acolytes of Andy cost me money, too, in following their deceit and fraud.
Cigarettes, for example, are $2.50 per package, including sales tax. Since we all first started tracking this scam the afternoon of April 28, 2005, my usage has increased from two packages a day, to two and a half, or $1.25 per day.
74 days x $1.25 per day = $92.50 that they owe me.
Consultation with attorney the two times Scamdy (under ownership different than mine, remember) got shut down by the acolytes of Andy.
1 time at $5.68 for lunch for the two of us
1 time at $1.04 for coffee for the two of us
= $6.72 that they owe me.
Purchase of Scamdy, which was made necessary by the acolytes of Andy (because if I owned it, I could use my 12-minutes-away attorney in case there were problems)
= $18.80 that they owe me, and meter still running.
Long distance telephone calls made necessary because of this fraud:
5 to an eastern state, $1.72 total
3 to a western state, $6.89 total
1 to a western newspaper, $2.32 total
6 to a mountain state, $4.32 total
= $15.25 the acolytes of Andy owe me.
Western Union telegram, undeliverable to Johns Hopkins; if they had accepted it, it would not have been wasted money.
= $39.95 the acolytes of Andy owe me.
Postage to send letters to 17 regulatory agencies, some of them certified mail = $36.19 the acolytes of Andy owe me.
And it just goes on and on and on; it needs noted that NONE of these expenditures would have been necessary if the fund-raisers had been conducted in an open and honest manner.
If everything the acolytes of Andy did, had been aboveboard, I would not have incurred these expenses.
And so using DUmmie, or Andyite, logic, I think I should be reimbursed by them.
Now you've done it, PJ! They've started a whole new thread over there about your comment.
Apparently the right to say what you're thinking out loud is against the law over at DU.
I'm hoping my sniffer is just broke.
The only people it paints in a bad light are the DUers who instead of looking to keep things crystal clear, decided instead to muddy things as much as they could and obfuscate.
I don't see how our concern about shuysterism being conned over on well intentioned, albeit misguided, people paints us in a bad light.
