Add more fiber to your corny political arguments!


Available at free markets every where. Just ask the minimum-wage-single-mother-of-three-working-two-jobs-since-her-husband-deserted-her clerk for directions for the aisle with the fruit cakes and nuts.

I tried this On The Borderline Brand
Ad Hominem corn once. It tasted like crap. I should have eaten the can instead.

As usual! He's made it an artform.
Rumor has it he's even bought extra subscriptions so that he can have some in his back pocket to unsubscibe too.
Somebody check with HSO to get some stats on how the OTBL unsubscriptions drive is going. My bet. More people have signed on to get HSO than dropped since the OTBL boycott began.
Thanks Steve Dzubay! Great Work.

Remember that OTBL's mission is to replace HSO and this area's community news source. HA!!...........

Whoa! I almost died laughing... but I'm O.K. now, thanks for asking:-)

Be careful with the hard laughing if you ate the corn, you'll shit your pants.

Please refrain from using phrase like "shit your pants" on this blog. We would prefer you be more sophisticated and use phrases like "Luke your pants" or "carnac your caprees."

Did you know the corn is available at many 24 hour grocery stores. You can stop in late at night, pick up a few cans of corn, and make a threat phone call on the payphone. This is after your buy an HSO and securely wrap it in a plain brown grocery bag so nobody knows you read it.

Yeah,
This OTBL boycott of HSO is a great idea.
Has anyone ever heard of a boycott where you just buy from the same product from a secondary supplier of to make a statement?
Leave it to OTBL. Like buying HSO at the grocery store is going to lessen their distribution numbers and drive down ad prices. For a bunch of economics geniuses
the brain trust at OTBL sure is stupid.

Roadkill:

A review of this blog will provide you evidence that attempts were made to engage the beast on numerous occasions and perhaps that will happen again. However, it looks like it will be spitballs and sarcasm for the time being.

Thanks for defining "ad hominem." I believe we've encountered that phrase a number of times. There's plenty of blogs out there that are trying to save the world from the mark of the beast. We've settled on poking a stick into the beast's cage.

Maybe you could sign up at OTBL and provide so fiber in their diet?

Well Roadkill,

Why don't you start the discussion with defending a group that "boycotts" a local paper by purchasing it's product from a different distributor?
Besides, what is OTBL's argument? The same as every other Libertarian wacko, government bad... Privatization Good.
That's it in a nutshell. (pun intended).
There's no point in trying to have intelligent debate with people who are convinced they possess the holy grail of all earthly wisdom. So as 666 says, we poke them in the eye in hopes that they may someday realize their blindness.
As far as I'm concerned OTBL is a cancer that's sapping the life out of every community effort it aims to destroy and is in need of radical radiation therapy.
One more thing. If you'd take the time to look slightly below the surface of the sarcasm and satire here, you'd recognize that often times it's addressing many of the issues OTBL takes thousands of unintelligible words to discuss. Political satire has been in "thinking persons" publications for at least the last 100 years, probably more. So I for one will not apologize for that form of commentary.
OTBLers are more interested in proving how brilliant they are by using big words out of context than communicating a reasonable point of view. If you haven't noticed, great communicators they are not. If they were, they'd have sold their brand of koolaid to more than the handful of posters over there with multiple blog identities.

Well said Roadkill,

Perhaps the admin here should give your last comment here serious consideration.
You, as an advocate of less sophomoric discourse should probably email the admin with your ideas for posts.
Often times the admin will post items
"from a reader". In time you might ask the admin to make you an official contributor, that way you will have direct input in changing the less than serious nature of this blog.

Sarcasm and buffoonery have been here long enough to be a tradition. I doubt they will disappear. However, maybe a more serious examination of the issues of the day would be a welcome addition.

Or, you could follow the lead of the ATBL founder when he was told he couldn't comment at OTBL and he should
"Go start your own blog".
The rest is history.
