First off – PLEASE DON’T PROMOTE THIS TO THE FRONT PAGE. This is a bit of whimsy that’s unworthy of it.
Now, to the main point… Beej, who every reliable poll indicates is soon to be $100 poorer thanks to betting that Tancredo will beat Hickenlooper with Voyageur, has recently demanded an apology from V over a comment said in anger when beej insulted V. (Personally, I think beej is trying to lay cover for his intent to welsh on his foolish bet.) Alright, I know better than to put my hand in the middle of a catfight, but this comment leaped out at me:
Actually, the more likely situation is that your narcissism won’t let you apologize to a “pissant grad student” who has bested you.
In my judgment, the true victor in all their exchanges has been Voyageur, based upon his superior wit and reasoning ability, but I think it ought to be put to the greater Pols community for a vote.
UPDATE (10/24, 10:50am): Don’t forget to discuss your reasons why you voted as you did, especially those of you voting “yes.”

At the time, I didn’t realize the degree of narcissism that drives the Beej. So by definition, he will never become bored with himself, and so he continues to carry the banner for ignorant fools everywhere.
The Tea Party and The Beej are perfect for each other.
Beej just posts talking points and repeats over and over. When people rebuff with actual facts and links to support those facts he deflects, insults, or runs away. Or all three.
There’s a reason he’s already laying the ground work to welsh on this bet.
Then how did you just lose our debate?
F*** you, knight.
OK, it’s a good summary. Just in case he proves us all right, we should all donate $150 to the Dumb Friends League.
And possibly send a puppy to me. But not everyone all at once, I only need one. Thanks.
Did we just debate something or are you doing a Beej impression?
Your wit and sense of humor are much sharper than mine. Hard to keep up!
Anyway, I have been a big fan of Dumb Friends League since getting our baby (beautiful black Lab) there. We’ve been donating regularly ever since. We like to have family and friends donate to DFL in lieu of Christmas presents. We already have all the tchotchkies, clothes, and socks we need. DFL always needs something.
I’ve also added Trevor Project to who I’m donating to. They do great work and every donation helps. We need to save our kids.
Dig both your causes, recently added the Trevor Project myself.
I managed to get roped into knitting newborn baby booties, mitts, and hats for Chanukah. So that’s what everyone I know will be getting; a set to donate to the hospital.
it’s usually Humane Societies and DFL who get cut out of personal budgets first, understandably.
I am lucky enough to be in a position, financially, to help. I am encouraged to hear that others on this site also donate to DFL.
Your fact-based concepts of “winning” and “losing” debates are irrelevant.
He got all this attention, he got a diary about him, he got Voyageur to follow him around posting silly responses to all his comments, and now he’s got me writing about him.
He’s “won” in the only sense I think he cares about. Troll has trolled.
we’ve been punked???
And I don’t comment about Beej. I will comment about Voyageur, though: V, dude, you’re too old to let some little twerp get under your skin like you do. When you start calling trolls names, you lose persuasion points. When we all stop feeding the provocateurs, they’ll only be able to reply to themselves. Even the most committed masturbators get tired of it eventually. I’m just sayin’.
Which will be a nice place (she says with her 2 little dogs curled up on the sofa next to her). Enjoy! And know that you will have made the world a happier place for some furry friends. Though please don’t let the loser know; make him think you’re sending it to a group that fights global warming or something.
as did my previous dachshunds, and two cats.
Great folks, the DFL.
some people’s commitment to self-gratification PERA!
That’s why I’ve said over and over again that you are irrelevant. Want to write another diary about that?
Why don’t you post a poll about that? See how many people agree with you, and how many disagree. After all, we are hardly the most objective sources as to who beat whom, are we?
“Schoolyard whining.” LOL – you can’t find a single post or writing from me with a whining or complaining tone. But we’ve already discussed your problems with projection…
note how you’re winning this diary;-)
Plus, don’t forget how you whipped my butt when we both ran for front page editor.
You got two votes, including your own.
I got 40.
You wuz robbed, beej!
Ahh, the tragedy of home schooling strikes again. You can’t get over the days when you were the smartest kid in your class…because you were the only kid in your class.
you’re making fun of a kid without a pet?
(Two barks for “yes”, Fido… You get an “A” and a treat!)
They say that kids who are raised with pets are more compassionate. Beej is definitely lacking compassion.
Quit your crowing.
How are you doing with that “Neanderthal man was a hoax” thingy? Is THAT where you bested Ari;-) Or was it your conviction that homosexuality is a choice?;-)
recognized as an idiot.
Their sheer knowledge on all things politic constantly amazes me.
They are very effective debaters with anyone who seriously wants to intelligently debate issues instead of trading talking points. The will acknowledge the other sides points.
The both constantly trounce empty headed moronic mouthpieces who show up armed with nothing but talking points. I find it especially amusing when it’s Beej as he is too stupid or too stubborn to know when he’s beaten. Classic.
They aren’t perfect (who is?) but I have learned a lot in the 4 or 5 months I’ve been here. They are far from irrelevant. Not that they need a stranger to defend them, just wanted to take a minute to show my appreciation for their contributions (and wit).
I appreciate compliments and hope that I’m earning them!
Let me add I’ve long admired your contributions. Your comments to Arvadonian were among the most eloquent and heart-felt I’ve seen on this blog.
to tout the skid-marks in Ken Buck and/or Tancredo’s underwear, as More “American” than any Librul’s.
