The Red Menace

Might have been nice if she'd sent a similar note to her buddy Andrew Cuomo after he stated that Obama wouldn't be able to keep getting away with his "shuck and jive" in the electoral season.

This is getting absurd. HRC's letter, just released, to the president of NBC News: One thing to argue over what sort of indignation the original comment deserved--quite another to keep whining about it in the manner above. Fine with me, I think continuing to carry on like this (the above reads to me as "your apologies aren't enough, I want him fired") makes her look bad, and I'm an enthusiastic supporter of her Democratic opponent.

Waterboarding??? Bah, the stuff of rank amateurs!!! Though I have noted that certain methods favored in the Lubyanka (how I miss its rigorous, character-building environs!!!) seem to have been taken up by the security chieftains of this great land. Yes, how you lambasted and demonized us for such tactics, but we were merely trying to show you the way!!! And what did we get for our troubles??? Ongoing barrages of Stinger missiles. A fine way of demonstrating gratitude!!! But past grievances aside, don't you think that perhaps you and I should pay this AAJ camp a visit, Mein Freund??? Only severe doses of humor, sternly administered, can cure what ails them!!! :rsmile:

So he was merely exiled!!! That is not how Comrade Beria would have handled matters, but I defer to and salute you for your maintenance of friendly relations with Mr. DEEP, whose rain (reign???) of torrential posts I found to be at times borderline-abusive. Now this jkelman, he seems rather a clumsy, heavy-handed oaf. It sounds as if an immediate purge of moderators is needed. Shall we extend to them the services of Comrade MasterHit?!?!

Ah, yes, Comrade MasterHit. How well I remember his extraordinary execution of DEEP!!! UR TOASTIE! Veritably he is like some of my most beloved secret-police chiefs!!! And yet he has not been seen in many years. Do you suppose he himself was purged??? How those NKVD worms do turn!!!

Perhaps you should, perhaps you shouldn't. Simply know that I will be keeping my eye on you!!!

I will be a moderator!!! And I shall rule with great fairness and consideration, not to mention simplicity... just as my mentor did!!!

What?!? Egads!!! Comrade Weizen has escaped from Camp Re-Education and Egalitarian Paradise!!! Comrade, you simply must return at once... we have not finished re-distributing your imported mini-LP wealth!!! (Not to mention that you'll miss tomorrow's exciting singalong session of tractor anthems!!!)

YES, COMRADE, BUT WE HAVE THE T-34S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you look closely you can see my good friend Nikolai sitting atop one of them, proudly brandishing a pristine copy of the Buddy Bolden cylinder.

From the Dec. 3 issue:

Comrade, you misread my profile--I have 2508 posts. Nevertheless I thank you!!! And shall toil harder to reach the summit of which you speak.

No, comrades, the above title is not a joke. Given our occasional tendency to squabble amongst ourselves like splinter Trotskyite groups, I post this thread with high hopes that it will provide a unifying point of departure for excess scorn, derision, and less-than-good-humored anger! The Weather Channel Presents the Best of Smooth Jazz

What??? Rest assured that I have reported this counterrevolutionary heresy to the proper authorities, and even as we speak--er, post--apparatchiks are busily stripping away all audio and Internet references to either Organissimo or Comrade Lowe from our vast media empire. To show that we are a benevolent rather than vengeful vanguard, however, we are offering you re-education classes at a 50% discount if you enroll now... and we'll even throw in a free Nina Totenberg coffeemug!!! As for Comrade Clem, he is an extremely talented and insightful fellow who has a tendency to get a wee bit cutting at times in his zestful commentary. I do not wish to see him fall victim to any purge, self-inflicted or otherwise--perhaps a few counseling sessions with our own resident Achtung! Dr. Freud Calling might be just the ticket for working out those energetic ripostes!!

Er... no he doesn't. My ghostly comrade tells me he has again lost the ability to post and is once more encountering that infuriating message!!!

Comrades! Pardon the old-school Soviet intrusion... a, er, "good friend" is having a terrible time gaining access to the board. From several different computers now, he has encountered the following message when trying to log in under his Organissimo name and password: Said board member and board administrator have been unable to determine the problem. After this message pops up, the forum becomes completely inaccessible, no matter what browser is used; the above message greets one no matter what portal is attempted for entry. Any ideas? Browser caches have been cleared, etc., and yet the problem persists.

Would not Red Menace view Siberia as a similar opportunity? Siberia, comrade, is a blissful state of mind, where one has plentiful time to contemplate the foolishness and waste of feverish, hyperconsumerist late-capitalism obsessions and pursuits that only feed upon themselves in never-ending vampiristic cycles of gnawing hunger and seething human torment!!! Displaced idol worship that thrives on destructive denial of the here and now, in quest instead of illusory immortality that shall never be gained, no matter what delusions of grandeur we may foster in the templehouse of the magnificent-but-sadly-desecrated brainpan!!! OTOH I still find myself craving a final "pad" such as this... alas, I cannot help myself:

And let us not forget the Hardest Working Man in Snow Business!!!

My name is Albert Ayler, comrades, and I did, in a certain, indirect manner, contribute to this book!!!

Jumping jihadis, comrades, is this some kind of a ransom note??? Has this lad made off with Mr. Cuscuna??? On another note, I must report that my young nephew once told me to never, ever take the "green acid." Can somebody explain to me what the dickens he meant???

Yes, comrades, it is indeed my birthday, and I am quite drunk, having delved into my personal stock of Stolichnaya set aside for special occasions. If only my young nephew would stop playing that annoying song--"They say it's your birthday, it's my birthday too," or some such repetitive rubbish. I fear I may soon go mad!!! Quite fortunately he gave me a cunning new device called an Eye-Pod, and I have loaded it up with some of my favorite Shostakovich string quartets. And now back to my Stolichnaya!!!

Enjoy some early jazz and the very nice Nation subscription that I am sending to you!!!

But... but comrade, your party does not believe in evolution!!! Which makes that t-shirt highly problematic. And now back to my late-late-early-mid-afternoon-evening cocktail.

Comrade!!! Long live the long revolution!!! And long live the Reptet!!!

I knew you're a sleeping soviet agent in the forum. I resemble that remark!!! And now back to my mid-mid-morning nap.

What about Ginger and Maryanne???
