ATTACK OF THE SOCK-PUPPETS

As permanent fixture at NPR.org, rather like a hobo living under the bridge who stands by the side of the highway and rants at the cars, I have noted a trend in the NPR.ORG comments section, or it could just be the voices in my head.

I thought it was curious that most the Wingers who posted comments either defending a conservative after an interview or complaining about "liberal NPR" and how biased it was, pictures were always blank and all seem to have a similar almost robotic style. These all tended be single posts by people with no information, I call these "One Post Winger Trolls" (tm) Grumpy Industries Intl.

In the comments section for yesterdays Steve Inskeep's and Michael (Not Man of) Steele interview are a good example, Several of the commentors were complaining about Inskeep and "liberal" NPR are from "OPWT: One Post Winger Trolls" (tm) Grumpy Industries Intl.

Looks like the interns that the RNC had a busy day. Wish I was the sysop and could see if these all came from the same domain.

Just clink of the names/links at NPR.ORG below to see what I mean, just one comment no information, I smell sock-pupperty:

Jeana Hines (jvhcom)

N B (Npod)

Thomas Moriarty (Thomas_Moriarty)

Rebecca Cahoon (labmom)

Sebastian Dunne (sdunnepilot)

Warning once you start checking the links it hard to stop, AstroTruf at it's finest.

Yeah, its a petty and small observation: Wasn't the internet invented for people to be petty and small?

OH, SAY, CAN YOU SING?

FOX PRESENTS: WHEN CELEBRITIES ATTACK

I don't know which is worse, her bad Aretha Franklin impression (or maybe it's Joe Cocker?) or that she's this doing to the Star Spangled Banner. Submitted for your Fourth Of July amusement, formerly from Richardson, Texas, headquarters of Grumpy Industries International, I give you Jessica Simpson's assault on our national anthem:



and yes, that dress does make your butt look big, girl.

Meeeeeeeeow.

A FOLLOW UP

LIKE A DOG WITH A BONE, . . .

continuing yesterday's puppy meme and who doesn't love puppies? While sitting at my desk here at Grumpy Industries International World Headquarters, I kept rethinking about Juan Williams FOXtastic "analysis" of Obama's press conference yesterday on NPR's Morning Edition.

You see, Juan described Obama'a behavior as "derisive" of the press. Juan sadly doesn't appear to not understand the meaning of the word "derisive." As a public service, and service to the public is Grumpy Industries mission, and for the edification of Mr. Williams, here's a definition and some examples.

Derisive: abusing vocally; expressing contempt or ridicule.

Here's your good FOX friend Bill O'Reilly on the recently murder Dr. Tiller:

"In the state of Kansas, there is a doctor, George Tiller, who will execute babies for $5,000."

"For $5,000, 'Tiller the Baby Killer' -- as some call him -- will perform a late-term abortion for just about any reason."

"Tiller has killed thousands, thousands of late-term fetuses without explanation."

"No question, Dr. Tiller has blood on his hands."

"'Tiller the Baby Killer' out in Kansas, acquitted, acquitted today of murdering babies."

"This guy will kill your baby for $5,000, any reason. Any reason."

"If we allow Dr. George Tiller and his acolytes to continue, we can no longer pass judgment on any behavior by anybody."

"If we allow this, America will no longer be a noble nation."

Now THAT'S "derisive" speech.

Here's a new word that Juan Williams should learn and it best describes his defense of O'Reilly's hate speech,

venal.

The link below is Juan defending O'Reilly, worse yet equating Bill speech with the Civil Rights movement.

MARCH IS OFFICIAL PIRATE MONTH AT GRUMPY WORLD (may not include any actual pirates*)

Inspired by the great "Pirates of the Constitution" poster below, the Board of Directors of Grumpy Industries International, has formally officially decreed March as "Official Month of the Pirate Month". There were some objections from the younger employees about the floggings, but more importantly, that pirates "are soooo over" and that this was just the CEO's "lame attempt to look cool, even though he's, like, really old" but they were discounted. And yes, as a career white collar worker, Grumpy Demo does have the hands of a woman.
