Mister Adequate posted:In all fairness, they were not at all lazy in their opposition to this one. Sure they were. It's easy to just be all " Obamacare, repeal it completely" They are only now starting to wise up to the idea of actually going through the whole thing, cherry picking some stuff out that either is (or can be drummed up to be) unpopular, and then trying to legislate it out until the whole thing collapses. Bitching about it publicly, and putting up 50 House votes to repeal it in its entirety is very low effort in comparison.

radical meme posted:Are you sure your not thinking of Mark Ames? Nah, Ames had sex with a child, Taibbi 'just' harassed women http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/beast-in-the-east/Content?oid=902762 http://fredrikdeboer.com/2014/10/30/the-exile-guys-have-a-lot-to-answer-for/ quote:It's not ironic--Ames and Taibbi explicitly scorn the bourgeois safety net of irony--and it's not just a rhetorical stance. "You're always trying to force Masha and Sveta under the table to give you blow jobs," complains their first business manager, an American woman, in chapter six, "The White God Factor." "It's not funny. They don't think it's funny." "But...it is funny," replies Taibbi. They take particular glee in trashing several former female staff members in print, taking multiple potshots at the aforementioned business manager's "gorilla rear end." They're equally nasty to her replacement, who quit in disgust after they went on a four-month "brain-sucking speed binge." quote:We have been pretty rough on our girls. We’d ask our Russian staff to flash their asses or breasts for us. We’d tell them that if they wanted to keep their jobs, they’d have to perform unprotected anal sex with us. Nearly every day, we asked our female staff if they approved of anal sex. That was a fixation of ours. “Can I gently caress you in the rear end? Huh? I mean, without a rubber? Is that okay?” It was all part of the fun. quote:...Katya sat on my lap and told me she had some exciting news: she was pregnant, and I was the father! and this 'wonderful' column where Ames (Apperntly Johnny Chen is Ames http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/the-gonzo-classic-that-wasnt-/261541.html ) writes. http://exiledonline.com/old-exile/vault/bardak/chen/chen41.html quote:Literally within four minutes of arriving, some teenager with a face like Muttley's from Laff-A-Lympics fell off the bar and onto my shoulders. I carried her almost straight out to the coat check, then hurried her down to a taxi, ran her home, up my stairs, and into my apartment. The whole time she was begging me to take her back, to be careful, she was drunk, bla-bla-blah... After we were through, I had no idea what to do with her. She was bleeding and crying. As for me, I was depressed. I'd just shot a load large enough to repopulate North Korea. So I walked her over to my balcony, and held her in my arm, leaning her over the ledge.

You forgot to bold "As a stand-up comedian,". e: what in the gently caress quote:At age 12, Crowder began working as a voice actor as the character Alan "The Brain" Powers on the children's television series Arthur.

I like Ames' writing and have exchanged e-mails with him years ago (he needed some info on Brazil and had read some of my stuff). That said, he's on open jerk, and back in his Moscow days he was a raging whirlwind of poison, fully absorbed by the "It's post-soviet Russia, anything goes!" zeitgeist. His book "Going Postal" is still an amazing bit of research and thematic narrative. He's a bit like an A-10 plane: ugly and dangerous, but tolerable if aimed t the right target. I also talked a bit with Taibbi, though not on a writing level. I was working in a large hospital at the time and he was looking into traveling abroad to get surgery for his bad back, so I gave him some pointers on accredited hospitals in Brazil that had that kind of program (It was and still is WAY cheaper to fly to a first-rate brazilian hospital for many procedires than do them without insurance in the US). He struck me as far more amiable and contained. His hatreds are laser-focused and used in his writing, not indulged in as a part of a public persona. He's been 'undercover' in christian fundamentalist conformist camps and shooting the poo poo with marines without being kicked out. I doubt Ames could last 40 minutes without confronting someone.
