Sigh.

This was the best I could muster.

It’s been a shitty day, w/ this, ANWR, etc.

Zia: As a historian, I hate saying "History Repeats Itself...tragedy, farce, yadayada". So I won't. But props to DW.

Aw, man, the tranny is the best part:

The other one, kind of more humorous, over at Chapotty Mystery (ph). And they’re talking about — they call it as the Wolfowitz turns. And they’re talking about the “L.A. Times” nomination of Bono, the U2 frontman, as the head of the World Bank. In their eyes, he would be a good choice. And they said that would have the White House scared. And what they’re saying is that Bono would have forgiven all loans to Africa or something. And in Wolfowitz, they found someone who won’t just raise the interest rate, but he’ll invade Africa.

Very strange, this “television.”

Whoa, Sepoy! CNN! No offence to the world-historical importance of Chapati Mystery, but does this kind of make you wonder what MSM producers do when they say “time once again to check in on the blogosphere”? They enter in a few key words into Google and read it live? With no acknowledgment of the satirical tone of your post? They just say you think Wolfowitz will invade Africa? Can they DO that???? Can the MSM be so silly???? Can they? CAN THEY? (Sorry, but treasured illusions are being shattered here.)

Also, the whole idea of a “blog reporter” is kinda funny, don’t ya think?

Oh well, I guess it beats playing pre-prepared videos from the State Department.

Congrats on the nod! Also love the pronunciation spelling of the site name. I always knew you were a “potty” mouth.

Caleb: First off. Chapotty Mystery was SO the name I should have gone for. All thanks to the “rushed” transcript [is that being outsourced to India, too?].
Second, fame is an old bedfellow. MSNBC, Slate and Salon have all looked to Sepoy [famous people use third person, we gather] for insights about this world we live.
Third, I really want to know what their google search terms were.
And finally, “can the MSM be so silly?” HAHAHAHAHA. Thanks for the laugh, dude.

It’s like Chapati meets the Vernacular Body…

Chapotty!

It must be thrilling to have gotten that mention, Sepoy.

Wolfie, I hope you were watching, you bastard.

In a sort of indirect way, Sepoy, you also made it on to Wonkette.

By: sepoy

Caleb: It would be inappropriate but, in the spirit of Chapotty, to proclaim: My heart’s desire is to make it on Wonkette.

By: Caleb

Caleb — Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Tsk, tsk. I think, though, that that proclamation would be more in the spirit of Wonkette herself.

it would have been really exciting to have Bono as World Bank Prez, nu?
(It would also presumably have stopped him from turning out the crap music he did for the last album… )
So, I’m so in mourning.
But aap to badi cheez ho gaye hain… or to translate, you’re the big cheese of the blogosphere now.
conratulations, mubaarkan and all that…
