Actually I never managed to hear anything since I click "no", "reject," or "cancel" on every notice and/or warning pop up screen that each and every click on a link generated.
Running CCleaner now to empty the trash I just know got loaded on my machine in the attempt.
Deb...I'll skip it. I am not a music history aficionado, as my tastes do not fit any categories. Since that is the topic of the broadcast, per TOP, it's not for me.
I didn't want to get any virus on my computer so I didn't click on it. But I did stop by the subway entrance on Carroll Street to listen to the homeless guy rant as he pissed himself so I feel as if I actually heard it.
Troop, I think we all know that online personae can differ from the real person. Witness the blogger who made his site guest-only to protect his brand.
He did a great job analyzing music with his host, and old friend, and he's been invited back for next week, which took him by surprise.
I think these are recorded in podcast form for later listening, and if you are curious, you may hear my and Virgil X's call-ins. Mine was not the smoothest.
Deborah, I think Trooper is exponentially better equipped in this specific instance to evaluate the real and virtual Crack. And remember, NOBODY was a bigger ally of Crack than Trooper, NO ONE. There are consequence for actions, unless you're an enabler.
This is a fun set up. The people "in the know" like deborah, Althouse and Meade, are familiar with the "real" Crack, while the rest of the rubes who read his material, including those who've offered him financial support in the past are dealing with persona?
Ha Ha! Fooled again. Just like those folks who thought Althouse respected her commenters. If only the racist goons could look beyond the tea leaves and hear past the artistic invective, they'd have found gold.
He did a great job analyzing music with his host, and old friend, and he's been invited back for next week, which took him by surprise.
Whatever. I don't wish him ill. His music isn't anything that appeals to me but I recognize that there are many styles of music that appeal to others. This is a good thing.
However, actions have consequences. His despicable calling everyone racists, unhinged and unhealthy focus on various causes and his venom against people who have done him no harm, causes me to have zero interest in promoting him by clicking on a podcast or anything else.
Nick, Troop, I'm aware of the recent meltdown of Crack and in the past I've seen Trooper's posts poking fun at Crack (using pictures of Buckwheat, etc.), in what I took as a humorous, joshing way. I don't know how Crack actually took it, but he played along.
I've said my piece. We could all do damn well better.
Trooper: "I hope this opportunity leads to a job for him. I wish him well but I don't want to hear his bullshit anymore."
Agreed. If he shows up here and things devolve on a racial basis, I want him banned, because it's just too hot a topic between him and us. If he wants to show up and shoot the shit, I'd love to have him.
You are buying into the Crack/Evil Blogger Lady mutual masturbation society. As chickie has often postulated there is a great deal of collusion there trying to ramp up hits and comments at both of their websites.
Personally I have been having a lot of fun over at Previously TV which looks like it is going to be the successor to Television Without Pity. They have some great discussion forums that are a lot more fun that gay marriage and racism all day long.
DBQ: "However, actions have consequences. His despicable calling everyone racists, unhinged and unhealthy focus on various causes and his venom against people who have done him no harm, causes me to have zero interest in promoting him by clicking on a podcast or anything else."
I understand and respect your position. And everyone who's speaking similarly.
Also it wasn't his music being played, but the host was doing a music countdown, very diversified.
Trooper: "You are buying into the Crack/Evil Blogger Lady mutual masturbation society. As chickie has often postulated there is a great deal of collusion there trying to ramp up hits and comments at both of their websites.
Say no to enabling. Its not what's for dinner."
I was postulating the same at approx the same time as chick. It's not rocket science. From Ezra to Althouse, it's about the hits, baby.
Do better at what? Being honest and open? Reflecting integrity? Playing games? Selling others on the hidden wonderfulness of the someone who spews racist crap and paints others with the same broad brush he claims to despise?
And no, there's no shooting the shit once the shit's been shot, smeared and splattered over others. Not without an acknowledgement of the offensive behavior.
I was postulating the same at approx the same time as chick. It's not rocket science. From Ezra to Althouse, it's about the hits, baby.
Except when it's not. I'm still a believer in the value of integrity over drama and hits. I also don't recall anyone postulating the same at approx the same time as chick. Maybe I missed it. It sure seemed to me as if he was standing out there alone on that one.
This is so confusing. I'm unclear as to how anyone would know ST frequents the place without doing so themselves, or be able to recall when in the afternoon Mary comments were deleted without being a rather regular reader?
Did you recently decide to stop reading over there too, deborah?
But not enough to deter me from publishing my preview!
...we still seem to be talking about TOP.
When the post involves a link back to the Althouse site, and the main topic involves a racist commenter which the author of the post has previously postulated about with regard to collusion (same as chick), there's bound to be some cross over and bleed through.
Beyond serving as "triggers", abusive shit shooting, artistic invective, two-faced persona presentations and the release of splooge stoodge are actions with consequences.
That Meade would show up to stir the pot was no surprise. Neither was the lecture on us "all" doing better. Who couldn't have imagined that?
How many blacks have been invited over to the Meade/Althouse house? Does anyone think that they hang with any blacks? And now, what? Crack is their best friend? I laugh.
Allen, They don't hang w/ ANYONE! They have no friends. They eat drink walk vacation ALONE. They believe that are better than EVERYONE, particularly the people there and here who adore them. Edutcher being the perfect example. They are very bad people. Always avoid people who have no friends. Am I the only person who thought that chin up post was like an Albert Brooks SNL short film?
And look, TOP is going to come up. That's how most of the people here ended up here in the first place. Gonna take a long time for that to not be an occasional topic of conversation....
Oddly, Meade, a lot of us thought we had friends at Althouse. We did, but neither you nor your wife numbered among them. And the two of you showed yourselves to be pretty goddamned false while you were at it.
Darcy, I would like to put in a word for Crack on the terribly disgusting things he said about whites in general and us. He'd been in terrible back pain, maybe on pain killers that loosened the tongue and clouded the judgement. He'd been hurt that people were offering money to Trooper in his hour of need, but not him (yes, I know hearts beat spines), he was out of work, etc. The Crack we saw...and was called forth by a taunting post...was in a terribly black mood, I imagine. The Crack I heard today was positive, upbeat, happy to be back with an old friend, felt the thrill of the hunt (broadcasting), and was feeling valued.
Please, all, don't re-hash the recent past. We were all there. I think moving on may be in order. Live and let live. Let M/A/C do their thing. It's no skin off our noses.
Interesting how a snot nosed potato hobbit likes to take credit for things they weren't ever part of themselves....e.g., in terms of directly providing support for others.
BTW Deb, my crack about TOP here was aimed at all of us, me included, and Icepick pretty much nailed the matter.
Nick, they have friends. You make these blanket assumptions like Althouse won't fly. Google around Althouse, and you'll find she's no stranger to air flight.
It gets stuck on your shoe, your hands, your reputation. You don't want to try to rehabilitate those that are beyond help. You just enable the shit. You pull on it like taffy and it just gets everywhere.
Don't get it on you. Don't touch it. It stinks. It is gross. Leave it in the dog park where it belongs.
Didn't she think he was wrong to expect her to watch Twelve Years?
That's actually what got me started disliking Crack the second time. Althouse mentioned not seeing the movie in an offhand way and Crack posted a screed on his blog attacking her. I thought it was stupid and unfair. That was months ago.
I escalated the confrontation -- concurrently with many others -- culminating with my posting of a photo on this blog which was my comment on "The Macho Response" and its content.
I labelled February, 2014 as "Black Histrionics Month" at Althouse and if you go back and look at the written record there in the comments, it's plain as day.
Of course some people are not competent to take care of pets. They are not responsible enough. Or their partners don't like them and they call the tune. Because when pay the piper you call the tune.
So they have to get their pets somewhere else. Sometimes they borrow them for a while.
deborah said... Chick, you were offended on Althouse's behalf?
Was Althouse offended?
Not that I saw.
But February was a who's who list of Crack calling everyone a racist over there and over here.
So if Althouse enthusiastically supports Crack's "art" (and implicitly its message), what is one to think? This is where I drew the line with Freeman Hunt as well, who enthusiastically supports all things Crack.
MamaM nailed it above:
This is a fun set up. The people "in the know" like deborah, Althouse and Meade, are familiar with the "real" Crack, while the rest of the rubes who read his material, including those who've offered him financial support in the past are dealing with persona?
That's the "collusion" part. The rest of us are just lowly bigots in the dark.
I wish the best for everybody, no matter what. I wish happiness to everyone, no matter what.
Doesn't mean I don't get cranky and it doesn't mean that I forgive and forget... being human and also, what's the point of unlearning valuable lessons?
But I'm glad if someone has things going well, no matter who.
I've supported Crack financially in the past. I don't regret it. I did it when he seemed to be doing good work. That's usually the best reason to pay people. Now, I must agree with the suggestion that "We (I) could all do damn well better." Lately, his stuff has been like watching a movie car chase - lots of fire and noise, but how many times can you endure the same shit decade after decade by everyone trying to make a quick name for themselves on a worn out formula sucking on the humanity and honor of 200 year-old slaves and their sacrifices. Have some damned respect.
If the economy was a bit better, maybe we'd all be happier... create more positive things.
I know that it's supposed to be all artsy-fartsy to view misery as a creative driving force, but I think it's a lie. I can't create when I'm stressed or pained or worried or have things in my head. I can fight on the internet, easy peasy... but create? Nope. Doesn't happen.
I should be writing now, though, because I can again. I can dream again and I can make things rather than just react. Doesn't mean I'll finish anything, but hello brain! Nice to have you back.
So maybe the whole country will get a little more positive if we can all decompress a little bit, stop being angry a little bit.
Althouse ADMITS she doesn't fly, she lies about the reason why. They have no friends. They document their life and IT'S JUST THEM. Deborah, I live in Madison, I know things!!!
Spinelli, really? Do you think they're going to document on a blog who they go out with, including pics? She is also friends with Irene and the other gal whose name I can't recall...travels a lot.
Chrissake Deborah, that was years ago. The woman states often that she does not fly anymore. Control freaks are the most common group of white knucklers. They tough it out w/ pills and booze but often say "I'm done" when they reach later years. John Madden is an example. My daughter is terrified of flying. Millions of people are. I'm terrified of bats. JUST FUCKING ADMIT IT!! The equivocation and dissembling is the problem. But, this is a silly exchange, let's just disagree.
If offering a blessing to Crack on his new radio venture or inviting others to do so was the motive behind the post, it didn't come through. As for explanations regarding pain and the "...terribly disgusting things he said..", Crack's an adult with a forum, a voice, and enough presence of mind to talk on the radio. Which means he can speak for himself and make his own explanations and amends without needing another to put in a word or do it for him.
JUST FUCKING ADMIT IT! You are a bossy old bitch mammy. Leave sweet deborah alone you old wrinkly ugly cunt.
Is that you Titus? Or your brother?
Whatever, the word is crone rather than cunt for women over fifty. That's when the hormones go south.
The crone is a stock character in folklore and fairy tale, an old woman. In some stories, she is disagreeable, malicious, or sinister in manner, often with magical or supernatural associations that can make her either helpful or obstructing. The Crone is also an archetypal figure, a Wise Woman. She is marginalized by her exclusion from the reproductive cycle, and her proximity to death places her in contact with occult wisdom. As a character type, the crone shares characteristics with the hag.
Mammy, you are one boring old bag, just listen to yourself. Do you ever say anything that you don't need a quotation to back it up? No original thoughts. Ugly and boring, deadly combo. You should aspire to be more Ike sweet debby, or maybe pretty and loving like Darcy. You are just Trooper's old crone, boring ugly and mean.

Not everyone can be Sweet Debbie or Darcy, SeanJ, though many have tried including the Inga-Oop. That you'd come sneaking back to mutter and tryst with me under the cover of darkness says something powerful about my crone charms. Or maybe it's the quotes you are secretly coveting, quotes revealing a body of knowledge so vast the universe trembles, or at the very least the earth moves. Hope that happens sometime for you too! MamaM
''Then there was the smell of heather crushed and the roughness of the bent stalks under her head and the sun bright on her closed eyes . . . and for her everything was red, orange, gold-red from the sun on the closed eyes. . . . For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere . . . now beyond all bearing up, up, up and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.''
Some quotes are so powerful they can't be undone. They change the way we talk, write and view life.
Comment moderation. It's what you use to delete Mary Glynn's comments from Althouse Blog.
I presume that in deleting Mary Glynn's comments and probably others (I don't pay attention to the comings and goings) that you also whole heartedly agree with comment moderation.
I have been busy this morning and missed the back and forth.
I want to thank Deborah for her comment moderation this morning. Well done.
The only thing is this mess should serve a teachable moment. No good will come of engaging this bitter damaged people. We should leave that to professionals. This place has been percolating along very nicely without them and they have their own garden to frolic in and purvey their pernicious philosophy. Why summon Cthulhu and her paramour,sockpuppets and minions?
The danger is that you will be dragged into silly petty arguments which are the stock in trade of other failing websites. If you want that experience you should frequent places that cater to that dysfunction. We have been lucky enough to not have that here for many weeks.
Let's try to keep that record going please.
Stirring the shit only plays into the hands of those who wish all here ill.
It's too bad you people shat all over Crack when he was here. Now that he gets a little love on the radio, he's your best friend again. Fucking hypocrites.
I didn't do that. He pretty much shit all over everyone else. Get your facts straight. When he started going down his afro-centric all slavery all the time, whitey/GOP/Convservatives are the ills of th world schtick. He pretty much did this to himself. Then his fight at TOP with the dominatrix and her safe-word dog boy leads him to leave only to see him come back like a little leather-boy begging for her scraps. And you call people hypocrites? The nerve.
Hey Nick, one of Althouse's readers is coming up from East Troy this afternoon to take the Chin Up Challenge. Why don't you come over? 5:45PM
Can you do a chin-up? How's you strngth-to-weight ratio?
Awesome! Then afterwards maybe you can all whip out your dicks and compare size and girth to see who has the best, biggest wanker of all. See who can piss the highest up on the wall. Test the lethal strength of your farts.
"Get your facts straight. When he started going down his afro-centric all slavery all the time, whitey/GOP/Convservatives are the ills of th world schtick. He pretty much did this to himself."
Because the same whites, who openly say they "don't even think about race," also (just as conveniently) can't conceive of themselves as racists. Even as they don't think about what they're doing. But others are.
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
Boy, MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech reads totally different when you don't limit it to that "content of a man's character" line. He sounds kind of pissed off. I wonder why whites never mention the rest?
Probably because they don't want to think about it,...

Congratulations to Crack.
Good on him. I hope it went well.
Actually I never managed to hear anything since I click "no", "reject," or "cancel" on every notice and/or warning pop up screen that each and every click on a link generated.
Running CCleaner now to empty the trash I just know got loaded on my machine in the attempt.
Ari if you have Realplayer already loaded on your machine, open it, then click 'listen' on the website. That'll probably work.
Deb...I'll skip it. I am not a music history aficionado, as my tastes do not fit any categories. Since that is the topic of the broadcast, per TOP, it's not for me.
No thanks.
The amount and quality of the Crack commentary I've read over the years does not incline me to listen to more from him, regardless of topic.
Him being the guest on a radio broadcast does not undo or negate the invective, distortions and lies he dropped here and elsewhere.
I didn't want to get any virus on my computer so I didn't click on it. But I did stop by the subway entrance on Carroll Street to listen to the homeless guy rant as he pissed himself so I feel as if I actually heard it.
Close enough for government cheese.
Troop, I think we all know that online personae can differ from the real person. Witness the blogger who made his site guest-only to protect his brand.
He did a great job analyzing music with his host, and old friend, and he's been invited back for next week, which took him by surprise.
I think these are recorded in podcast form for later listening, and if you are curious, you may hear my and Virgil X's call-ins. Mine was not the smoothest.
I'm happy for his good fortune.
Deborah, I think Trooper is exponentially better equipped in this specific instance to evaluate the real and virtual Crack. And remember, NOBODY was a bigger ally of Crack than Trooper, NO ONE. There are consequence for actions, unless you're an enabler.
Sure whatever you say.
Hey I want to suggest another topic for a post. How about the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.
We can recycle some of the comments.
I gave Crack a chance. Many chances in fact. He is just a really messed up individual who needs professional help.
I don't buy what he is selling and when you enable him as nick says you are not doing him any favors.
But that is of course up to you.
I hope this opportunity leads to a job for him. I wish him well but I don't want to hear his bullshit anymore.
That is about as succinctly and honestly as I can put it.
This is a fun set up. The people "in the know" like deborah, Althouse and Meade, are familiar with the "real" Crack, while the rest of the rubes who read his material, including those who've offered him financial support in the past are dealing with persona?

Say no to enabling. Its not what's for dinner.
If you speak the devils name he will appear.

I was postulating the same at approx the same time as chick. It's not rocket science. From Ezra to Althouse, it's about the hits, baby.
See what you did Little Debbie?
We could all do damn well better.
Do better at what? Being honest and open? Reflecting integrity? Playing games? Selling others on the hidden wonderfulness of the someone who spews racist crap and paints others with the same broad brush he claims to despise?
And no, there's no shooting the shit once the shit's been shot, smeared and splattered over others. Not without an acknowledgement of the offensive behavior.
Meade's guilt ridden white guy routine is even dumber and more offensive than Crack's racist ranting.
I didn't did it, Troop.
Meade, you are on DEFCON Haz with me. Please post in threads other than mine.
I sign on 100% to what MamaM said.
No I take that back. I sign on 1000% to what she said.
Thank you Deborah that was well done.
You did the right thing. You can't play with fire and not get burned. Just sayn'

I'm enjoying retirement.
Ignoring Meade and his crazy as a loon wife has really improved the quality of my life.
I wish neither would appear or be mentioned here, but that's, of course, beyond my control.
Two more excellent and perceptive comments Shouting Thomas!
Just for that I won't be making fun of your junk for the rest of the day!
Why do you frequent her place, ST?
I think chickie would agree that it doesn't matter when we came to the same conclusion as long as we all are on the same page.
@deborah
I've ceased going to Althouse's site, and I plan to stay away.
I really don't want to hate anybody, and if I read her crazy shit, I won't be able to resist the temptation.
So, I have ceased reading and commenting.
That's great Shouting. I want to invite you to my site. Just email me at trooperyork@hotmail.com and I will send you an invitation.
You can be as crazy as you want there.
@Troop
My junk is singing a happy song!
Totally agree, ST. It's not worth the aggravation, and we're not getting any younger; why waste precious minutes?
Shouting Thomas said...
@Troop
My junk is singing a happy song!
Is it keeping time like a pulsating metronome?
Good on Crack I guess. The guy has become his own worst enemy. He's conflated more batshit crazy ideas than I have time to mention.
I was reading Rodney Dangerfield's autobiography and it had some great jokes in it. One of the best was this one:
When I was a kid my father gave me a bat as a present. The first time I played with it ...it flew away.
Totally agree, ST.
This is so confusing. I'm unclear as to how anyone would know ST frequents the place without doing so themselves, or be able to recall when in the afternoon Mary comments were deleted without being a rather regular reader?
Did you recently decide to stop reading over there too, deborah?
Maybe we are sucker bait here abouts...we still seem to be talking about TOP. Should make anyone feel to hurl chunks...
Ari, I'd put more credence in your statement if you weren't the one who brought her up yesterday. Or was it the day before? I lose track.
Maybe I should establish an Ari trigger; you bring her up, you get a post about her. Negative reinforcement, you see :)
I think he likes being hit on the snout with a rolled up newspaper.
Ok, now I'm laughing, dammit!
But not enough to deter me from publishing my preview!
...we still seem to be talking about TOP.

lol and here I was thinking rubber band snap to the wrist.
Well I did enjoy when you snapped the elastic on Leisure Suit Larry's underpants!
Wedgie baby!!!!!!!!!
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!
Seriously?
Oh yeah, baby. "You people" and "all" statements are flying round the thread today like shot shit.
The quality of the sock puppetry has really declined.
I recently had to throw out all of my white socks as they were getting pretty groody.
I got a bunch of new ones from Red Wing shoes and they are pretty great.
We need some new socks around here. Just sayn'
How many blacks have been invited over to the Meade/Althouse house? Does anyone think that they hang with any blacks? And now, what? Crack is their best friend? I laugh.
@deborah - DEFCON Haz? That made me laugh! I've been memorialized.
you are on DEFCON Haz with me.
LOL!
Sad what happened to Crack.
Allen, They don't hang w/ ANYONE! They have no friends. They eat drink walk vacation ALONE. They believe that are better than EVERYONE, particularly the people there and here who adore them. Edutcher being the perfect example. They are very bad people. Always avoid people who have no friends. Am I the only person who thought that chin up post was like an Albert Brooks SNL short film?

Cleanup on aisle seven.
Whoooo hooooo!!!!!
Deborah is on it!!!!!!!!!!
Cool Beans!!!!!!!!!!!
Darcy, I would like to put in a word for Crack on the terribly disgusting things he said about whites in general and us. He'd been in terrible back pain, maybe on pain killers that loosened the tongue and clouded the judgement. He'd been hurt that people were offering money to Trooper in his hour of need, but not him (yes, I know hearts beat spines), he was out of work, etc. The Crack we saw...and was called forth by a taunting post...was in a terribly black mood, I imagine. The Crack I heard today was positive, upbeat, happy to be back with an old friend, felt the thrill of the hunt (broadcasting), and was feeling valued.
Please, all, don't re-hash the recent past. We were all there. I think moving on may be in order. Live and let live. Let M/A/C do their thing. It's no skin off our noses.

Did I hit a nerve?
Like Fat Clemenza said, every so often you got to go to the mattresses. it helps clear the air.
I appreciate the background, Deborah. Sorry to read that Crack was hurting.
One of the things I hope I'm doing better at as I get old is biting my tongue. Not saying/writing things that are extremely hard to take back.
I do hope Crack is on the mend, both body and spirit.
@Aridog
I've responded belatedly to your request at TY.
(Sorry, Deborah, but threads get buried)
An appropriate tune for the discussion.
Ari, I was teasing.
Sometimes when you get some dog shit on your shoe you can never get if off.
That's why you don't summon the shit. It never goes away.
Nick, they have friends. You make these blanket assumptions like Althouse won't fly. Google around Althouse, and you'll find she's no stranger to air flight.
No problem at all, silly.
Plus you know if you stir the shit sometimes it can get stuck on you. Just sayn'
Like Fat Clemenza said, every so often you got to go to the mattresses. it helps clear the air.
Just make sure they've been exterminated first.
It gets stuck on your shoe, your hands, your reputation. You don't want to try to rehabilitate those that are beyond help. You just enable the shit. You pull on it like taffy and it just gets everywhere.
Don't get it on you. Don't touch it. It stinks. It is gross. Leave it in the dog park where it belongs.
@Darcy ... got it. Will get back to you.
Crack can do no wrong in the eyes of Althouse and especially Meade.
I challenge anyone to show otherwise.
Didn't she think he was wrong to expect her to watch Twelve Years?
Didn't she think he was wrong to expect her to watch Twelve Years?
That's actually what got me started disliking Crack the second time. Althouse mentioned not seeing the movie in an offhand way and Crack posted a screed on his blog attacking her. I thought it was stupid and unfair. That was months ago.
I escalated the confrontation -- concurrently with many others -- culminating with my posting of a photo on this blog which was my comment on "The Macho Response" and its content.
I labelled February, 2014 as "Black Histrionics Month" at Althouse and if you go back and look at the written record there in the comments, it's plain as day.
Some people love their pets.
They feed them and water them and call them George.
When are tired of them they put them down.
Sort of like......Old Yeller.
Chick, you were offended on Althouse's behalf?
Was Althouse offended?
A few weeks ago, he was not on her blogroll. Now he is.
I read there very rarely. I've missed the Crack screeds, and have only heard them reported here.
I have seen a couple of her commenters complain about him.
What's the timetable of this possible alliance; each scratching the back of the other?
Of course some people are not competent to take care of pets. They are not responsible enough. Or their partners don't like them and they call the tune. Because when pay the piper you call the tune.
So they have to get their pets somewhere else. Sometimes they borrow them for a while.
Or they have pretend pets.
But even pretend pets can turn on you.

Not that I saw.
But February was a who's who list of Crack calling everyone a racist over there and over here.
So if Althouse enthusiastically supports Crack's "art" (and implicitly its message), what is one to think? This is where I drew the line with Freeman Hunt as well, who enthusiastically supports all things Crack.
MamaM nailed it above:
This is a fun set up. The people "in the know" like deborah, Althouse and Meade, are familiar with the "real" Crack, while the rest of the rubes who read his material, including those who've offered him financial support in the past are dealing with persona?
That's the "collusion" part. The rest of us are just lowly bigots in the dark.
*sigh*
I wish the best for everybody, no matter what. I wish happiness to everyone, no matter what.
Doesn't mean I don't get cranky and it doesn't mean that I forgive and forget... being human and also, what's the point of unlearning valuable lessons?
But I'm glad if someone has things going well, no matter who.
Well said, Synova.
I've supported Crack financially in the past. I don't regret it. I did it when he seemed to be doing good work. That's usually the best reason to pay people. Now, I must agree with the suggestion that "We (I) could all do damn well better." Lately, his stuff has been like watching a movie car chase - lots of fire and noise, but how many times can you endure the same shit decade after decade by everyone trying to make a quick name for themselves on a worn out formula sucking on the humanity and honor of 200 year-old slaves and their sacrifices. Have some damned respect.
I wish him the best on a personal basis, but his new message can't die quick enough, because it is old, old, old and worn out.
If the economy was a bit better, maybe we'd all be happier... create more positive things.
I know that it's supposed to be all artsy-fartsy to view misery as a creative driving force, but I think it's a lie. I can't create when I'm stressed or pained or worried or have things in my head. I can fight on the internet, easy peasy... but create? Nope. Doesn't happen.
I should be writing now, though, because I can again. I can dream again and I can make things rather than just react. Doesn't mean I'll finish anything, but hello brain! Nice to have you back.
So maybe the whole country will get a little more positive if we can all decompress a little bit, stop being angry a little bit.
Look forward a little bit.
if we can all decompress a little bit
Observing Lent helps in this way. I haven't done it for a very long time, though.
Althouse ADMITS she doesn't fly, she lies about the reason why. They have no friends. They document their life and IT'S JUST THEM. Deborah, I live in Madison, I know things!!!
Yes, Synova a broken economy hurts people like my son and Icepick and Crack. It's wearing on them not to be productive.
I did not know you were not able to write for a while. I'm glad you can now. Happy writing :)
@deborah
There is never a good reason to collapse into despair or to quit moving and striving.
I've buried two wives. I know.
You find things to do. You seek opportunity. You pray for help and you walk out the front door and see what you can find.
Spinelli, really? Do you think they're going to document on a blog who they go out with, including pics? She is also friends with Irene and the other gal whose name I can't recall...travels a lot.
Althouse flying
I agree, ST, but some have more drive or trouble keeping positive than others.
I didn't know you had a wife that died before Myrna. I'm sorry to hear that.
'Night all, past 12 here :)
Chrissake Deborah, that was years ago. The woman states often that she does not fly anymore. Control freaks are the most common group of white knucklers. They tough it out w/ pills and booze but often say "I'm done" when they reach later years. John Madden is an example. My daughter is terrified of flying. Millions of people are. I'm terrified of bats. JUST FUCKING ADMIT IT!! The equivocation and dissembling is the problem. But, this is a silly exchange, let's just disagree.
The equivocation and dissembling is the problem.
Here and there.
If offering a blessing to Crack on his new radio venture or inviting others to do so was the motive behind the post, it didn't come through. As for explanations regarding pain and the "...terribly disgusting things he said..", Crack's an adult with a forum, a voice, and enough presence of mind to talk on the radio. Which means he can speak for himself and make his own explanations and amends without needing another to put in a word or do it for him.
Who is this bossy old bitch, mammy? She should mind her own business, it's deborah's post.
JUST FUCKING ADMIT IT! You are a bossy old bitch mammy. Leave sweet deborah alone you old wrinkly ugly cunt.
JUST FUCKING ADMIT IT! You are a bossy old bitch mammy. Leave sweet deborah alone you old wrinkly ugly cunt.
Is that you Titus? Or your brother?
Whatever, the word is crone rather than cunt for women over fifty. That's when the hormones go south.
The crone is a stock character in folklore and fairy tale, an old woman. In some stories, she is disagreeable, malicious, or sinister in manner, often with magical or supernatural associations that can make her either helpful or obstructing. The Crone is also an archetypal figure, a Wise Woman. She is marginalized by her exclusion from the reproductive cycle, and her proximity to death places her in contact with occult wisdom. As a character type, the crone shares characteristics with the hag.
Mammy, you are one boring old bag, just listen to yourself. Do you ever say anything that you don't need a quotation to back it up? No original thoughts. Ugly and boring, deadly combo. You should aspire to be more
Ike sweet debby, or maybe pretty and loving like Darcy. You are just Trooper's old crone, boring ugly and mean.

Not everyone can be Sweet Debbie or Darcy, SeanJ, though many have tried including the Inga-Oop. That you'd come sneaking back to mutter and tryst with me under the cover of darkness says something powerful about my crone charms. Or maybe it's the quotes you are secretly coveting, quotes revealing a body of knowledge so vast the universe trembles, or at the very least the earth moves. Hope that happens sometime for you too! MamaM
''Then there was the smell of heather crushed and the roughness of the bent stalks under her head and the sun bright on her closed eyes . . . and for her everything was red, orange, gold-red from the sun on the closed eyes. . . . For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere . . . now beyond all bearing up, up, up and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.''
Some quotes are so powerful they can't be undone. They change the way we talk, write and view life.
Words matter.
Looks like some narcissistic twit by the name of mammy has illusions of grandeur.

Folks, just remember that "SeanJ" appeared on Althouse around the time of Inga's latest retirement.
Someone posted a list of Inga's sock-puppets on TOP. The list was long.
Yep, sock-puppetry is really going to Hell.
I believe Trooper really WAS a fan of Crack's. Racial condescension doesn't equal friendship.
Fuck off, Meade.
Trooper was a fan of Crack and welcomed him to his blog. Crack wore out his welcome there, as he has done here.
As you have done here and elsewhere, I might add.
We need to buy Meade a new and even more irritating hair shirt so that he can do penance for the sins of white men.
Cause I sure as hell won't do it.
I don't even know where to buy my hair shirt. Where do you buy yours, Meade?
Meade is the Mary of this blog.
The guilt ridden white boy act is amazing, isn't it?
Every other ethnic and sexual group is double down on demanding more stuff for itself.
Only guily white boys do the Steppin' Fetchit routine any more.
And, oddly, the white Steppin' Fetchits are proud of their act.
Go figure.

This is true. And Trooper caught a lot of flak from his regulars for it.
I guess Meade missed the part were Crack threatened to find some Brooklyn pals to shoot Troop in his store.
That sort of shit is beyond performance art. I'm surprised that Meade (and Althouse) will risk so much defending that bullshit.

As, I said, the guilt ridden white Steppin' Fetchit routine defies human understanding.
Don't ask for an explanation. Unfortunately, they have a long winded, doofus explanation that will keep you occupied for hours.
A "closed and private" blog is just another form of comment moderation.
Everybody else feels embarrassed about playing Steppin' Fetchit, and Meade takes pride in it.
Makes you wonder if white people don't have some kind of recessive gene that renders them into absolute fools.
I'M the Mary! Who is the Rhoda?
Call me Lou....
I do approve of comment moderation, Meade, just like you do and your wife does.
Here, Meade, I just took a quick look.
COMMENTS ARE MODERATED.
Comment moderation. It's what you use to delete Mary Glynn's comments from Althouse Blog.
I presume that in deleting Mary Glynn's comments and probably others (I don't pay attention to the comings and goings) that you also whole heartedly agree with comment moderation.
See, Meade, I have worked to find a point on which we agree. Comment moderation is a good and useful thing.
Phyllis here. Where's Rhoda?
When you don't get any all that energy has to go somewhere, chin-ups and crazy rants are Meade's way of trying to release those demons.
I have been busy this morning and missed the back and forth.
I want to thank Deborah for her comment moderation this morning. Well done.
The only thing is this mess should serve a teachable moment. No good will come of engaging this bitter damaged people. We should leave that to professionals. This place has been percolating along very nicely without them and they have their own garden to frolic in and purvey their pernicious philosophy. Why summon Cthulhu and her paramour,sockpuppets and minions?
It is a dangerous thing to do.
East Troy, manly chin ups, can Titus or hat boy be far behind?? Who supplies the KY jelly.
The danger is that you will be dragged into silly petty arguments which are the stock in trade of other failing websites. If you want that experience you should frequent places that cater to that dysfunction. We have been lucky enough to not have that here for many weeks.
Let's try to keep that record going please.
Stirring the shit only plays into the hands of those who wish all here ill.

It's too bad you people shat all over Crack when he was here. Now that he gets a little love on the radio, he's your best friend again. Fucking hypocrites.
I didn't do that. He pretty much shit all over everyone else. Get your facts straight. When he started going down his afro-centric all slavery all the time, whitey/GOP/Convservatives are the ills of th world schtick. He pretty much did this to himself. Then his fight at TOP with the dominatrix and her safe-word dog boy leads him to leave only to see him come back like a little leather-boy begging for her scraps. And you call people hypocrites? The nerve.
Hey Nick, one of Althouse's readers is coming up from East Troy this afternoon to take the Chin Up Challenge. Why don't you come over? 5:45PM
Can you do a chin-up? How's you strngth-to-weight ratio?
Awesome! Then afterwards maybe you can all whip out your dicks and compare size and girth to see who has the best, biggest wanker of all. See who can piss the highest up on the wall. Test the lethal strength of your farts.
Good times.
:-)
Methadras,
"Get your facts straight. When he started going down his afro-centric all slavery all the time, whitey/GOP/Convservatives are the ills of th world schtick. He pretty much did this to himself."
Because the same whites, who openly say they "don't even think about race," also (just as conveniently) can't conceive of themselves as racists. Even as they don't think about what they're doing. But others are.
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
Boy, MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech reads totally different when you don't limit it to that "content of a man's character" line. He sounds kind of pissed off. I wonder why whites never mention the rest?
Probably because they don't want to think about it,...
Sorry I'm a reminder.
Or, as W.E.B. Dubois said, a "problem."

So Crack, if you are a problem, you are not part of the solution.
I prefer the old chemist's take on the phrase:
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
