Now that I am looking around again (I pretty much took the weekend off), I am finding a few nuggests like this comment where Dr. Deb tells us the demographics of "teh DebLand":
You should call up on Monday and volunteer to do work for him.In "teh DebLand" 60% of Americans are in the "increasingly agitated left". I don't want to get into politics here, but I am pretty sure that in the real world that the numbers haven't changed from the 20/55/25 left/independent/right split. If the majority of americans were in the "increasingly agitated left", we would be in [gulp] President Gore's second term. [shake it off!]
I would think your experience with Decision/Risk would be invaluable. You are just the kind of person who should be representing the interests of the progressive left.
You are the new face of the left!

WayLeftFan: You should call up on Monday and volunteer to do work for him.
The thought had crossed my mind as well vis-a-vis a temporary employment gig with Senator Wyden. I was hoping for the paying, benefitted kind - not the volunteer kynd! but we're in the same chapter, albeit not on the same page!
Ron Wyden SO wants to hire me as a kind of consultant. I will translate the views of the estranged left (John Zerzan crowd), the rabid left (me, 90% of Whitaker, 69% of south eugene, 50% of lane county, i reckon) the increasingly disturbed left (91.1% of University of Oregon faculty) and the increasingly agitated left (60% of Americans) into a language that is understandable and palatable to the progeny of Senator Wayne Morse.
u da man, ron! u 2, gordon!
u ma baws!
specially now dat paul is ded!
sinceerly,
wayne morse

The Oregon numbers might be right, but I doubt it. Wasn't Oregon a swing state in 2004 that frustrated the pundits with their mail-in only balloting?

Her entire post about Wyden reminded me of why I really don't trust fundamentalists of any stripe -- including leftists. She's got a real "Cultural Revolution" mindset and is willing to publicly call out and browbeat someone who isn't ideologically pure enough to suit her. I don't agree with Wyden on much, but can agree “reasonable people can disagree about whether the war in Iraq is a good idea”
Deb of course "couldn’t resist":
"I don’t remember exactly what I said. The gist was “That’s not true. Reasonable people cannot pretend this war is a good idea. You act unethically and dishonorably by pretending that your colleagues in Washington who support the war are reasonable people.”
In other words, people who disagree with her "aren't human" to her. Her biggest moment of truth ever may have been when she was ranting on Protein Wisdom and told him that.
It's easy to create an orthodoxy, and easier still to create an "other" out of those who refuse to toe the line. The next step down that slope is to eliminate that "other" because it's really not human.
She's certainly a posterthing for the Left.
I'm nearly certain that Senator Wyden will be falling all over himself to engage a "scientist", who seemingly pulls numbers out of her nether regions, as a paid campaign consultant.
Good luck with that, you wacky, wonderful word warrior.
And seeing as she finally mentioned JG again, I'm taking it as a hopeful sign that the pressure of "teh crazy"® is slowly building-up like two tectonic plates rubbing together.
Perhaps the relative quiet of this past weekend was a fluke.
Blizzardlane - Thanks for my new vocabulary word-of-the-day: "posterthing". I shall endeavor to use it three times today so that I own it.
blizzardlane -
The fanatical mindset presumes to offer the only correct path to all groups, but would eliminate individuals wherever they stray. Witness the democrat party today as it eats its own.
Regardless of Debs religious conviction that her way is The Way, I thought WayLeftFan was just egging her on.
Unless the Sen's staff is heroically incompetent, no way would this wack job get within 100 feet of a staff desk.

The potential for bad press aside, can you image her 'translating' in her customary ebonics?!
OK, did anyone else notice the "progeny" reference?
x_la:
Yeah, I saw that but I figured it was just Debee being her usual awkward self.
Another way to check for a new post without going there is
www.orblogs.com
It's a list of Oregon blogs. If she has something new, it will be on the frontpage. Or you can look up south(west)paw in their directory.
Joe Schmoe- please add "posterthing" to your Deblist

Since "progressives" are so fond of insisting election materials be printed in a multitude of languages, this might actually be just swell with them.
The last voter pamphlet I got when I lived in L.A. indicated that election info was also available in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese.
It's not much of a stretch to imagine Ebonics (much of which, such as "ain't", "you be", "they be", etc., actually comes from SW England) getting added to that list.
So Deb's got that going for her...
The far lefties really believe the majority of the country is in their camp, or would be if we weren't just so bone-deep stupid. And the vote was stolen (dieBOLD, dieBOLD, dieBOLD)!
And those re-education camps in the Rockies are bad news, dude.
They're coming for you, Debee - run, run like the wind!
BrendaK -
I've found it quite vexing that so many on the left (and, to be fair, a few on the right, too) fervently believe folks who disagree with them are jes' plain stoopit.
Which is a less-than-efficacious method of persuading me to reconsider my position on a given issue.
(On the other hand, it's sort of droll fun debating someone who posits that I'm a dumbass simply because I disagree with them. Facts being stubborn things and whatnot.)
"I don't remember exactly what I said..."
Fortunately, someone there had a recording device. Roll tape--
"EPHU, RIGHT-WING BABYKILLING FUTHERMUCKER! You're not man enough to heft Wayne Morse's frigging jockstrap! HEY-GETYERHANDSOFFME! I have a Pee-aytch-effing-Dee! You're on my LIST, forehead boy!!!!"
Pretty close paraphrase, I suppose.
I read in the comment section of one of her latest posts from a commenter that there was a picture here of her. I was just curious what she looked like.
Thanks!
PS: VBS teacher for 10 years. Does that qualify for a VBS'er?
Hello People:
I have been watching this whole affair from a distance, giggling at how Deb continues to get smacked down over and over. You people are one of the funniest group of collective minds I have seen in a long while. I am trying to curb my go-look-several-times-a-day-at-the(teh)-train-wreck-at-debs-page addiction. I now resolve to come here for updates to minimize the traffic on her blog. I will miss reading all the comments over there tho!
I am convinced that all of the comments over there are the result of 4-5 of you posting under different names. I love it!
Can't wait for WTF Vokda-thirty to kick in soon, and see the impending meltdown. Deb is like Mt St Helens right now-can't wait to see how far the smoke and ash lands when she finally blows up!
Kudod to you all!
Uh, make that "kudos".. whoops!
By the way... wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall every time the mailman shows up at Camp CraZee? I picture the good Doctor diving behind the sofa (perhaps made of milk crates and empty pizza boxes?) when she hears footsteps on the porch.
Hey, where can I go to get my muppet icon??
That's you, John Henry, always giving.
Welcome kentucky joe and frebdrisch!
Be sure to visit John Henry's Debbie is my B... site at dfrisch.blogspot.com
Yes, I am proud to be in the company of some of the funniest commenters on the intertube webs.
I have used 53 names at her site. Only about 5 didn't make it past her. Some got return engagements.
I quit counting how many sock puppets I had going. The last one that got through was one where I was making fun of her. She thought it was supportive though, bless her pointy little head, and let it through.
Subtlety is my middle name.
I knew it! You guys rock. I pray that I never piss off the blogosphere! Now can you help me get a muppet on my profile?
Hey John Henry:
Ebonics could have come from SW England. After all, white folks invented Rap music.
Of course, we called it "Square Dancing"...
Welcome, FrebDisch, kentuckyjoe and Cirrus!
JohnHenry - That was I who mentioned SW England viz. Ebonics; I believe Thomas Sowell is one of the keenest intellects of our age. Wish he were more widely-read.
I've not read Black Rednecks... yet, but it's on my list.
rabbit - 53 sockpuppets? Heh!™

KYJOE,
You can see her picture over at Dfrisch.blogspot.com (not that I advise it)
Rabbit,
53 names, good god, I ran out of names at about 15 or so. Did you get your name from the book "When Rabbit Howls" about the girl with 93 personalities?
Welcome new faces!
Wow, looks like all of us were just waiting for teh crazy® dam to burst. Looks like her frischiness has put a finger in the dyke just holding it back (oh wait, she went trolling at a fundraiser for that, forget I said anything).
Teh crazy® might be starting earlier. Hmm, this might be a binge drinking cycle, where one says, "I've got to cut down a little," is good for a little while, but then the relapse is one trainwreck of sloppy behavior, leaving teh whatt® all over the place, and incoherent drunk talk. Ah, sweet, sweet drunk talk.
That's what we're here for. I really loved seeing those site hits of hers trend downward at an exponential rate.
Oh, the DHD lexicon is still in the "commenting period," so don't forget to add your suggestions, corrections, and examples. Like a list of Deb's favorite goofy spellings: phuque, ephu, lawbaw, etc. One section that I'm still collecting examples for is the DHD nicknames for her: teh Frisch, deb ee, "posterthing" (yes, very nice), Frischerbat, DebGollum, etc.
If need be, I can set the kermitage link at the top of my blog and perhaps Sinner too, when he has the time.
B4,
no, I was trying to punch in a name for this blogger thing & the names I chose were taken, so I just put in "rabbit" & it took. I don't know what happened, because rabbit was my password & I have a different usename.
I read that book along time ago & I must confess,I try to take on a new personality with each name. A couple of times, when Our Little Debbie has "liked" me, it gave me the creeps! Once she said we were on the same page & it really, really, gave me a shiver.
I hope my aura isn't turning black (or blacker). LOL
Oregon is basically a red state with urban pockets of blue that are populated enough to make it look like a blue state.
On election night 2000, Bush was ahead of Gore all evening until the wee hours of the morning when the returns started coming in from the Portland (rabidly blue) precincts. Gore ended up winning Oregon by a thin margin. Kerry won this state by a larger percentage and it wasn't close.
Staci -
I know what you mean re KerrDeb. They do seem to have much too much in common.
I was just looking at election returns for Lane County, Oregon, in 2004, and Bush got 75K votes to Kerry's 100K in 2004. That means three out of every seven people Deb sees every day are traitors to her idealism, not that she's any great respecter of the impurely liberal Kerry.
What cirrus said in another thread today may be true. They might want to watch for snipers in You-Jean if she really comes uncorked.
Found some Frischy home movies...
Something ironic occurred to me this morning as i was weed-eating my yard.
Stay with me here folks, as it will all make sense soon enough..
There is a sizable faction in this country that believes Gore/Lieberman won the election in 2000. Let's assume that they did (thank God this is just an assumption!).
2004 rolls around, and it's logical to assume that Gore/Lieberman would be the Demo ticket again, right?
So that brings us to today, where most likely Lieberman would be revving up to make that run for President, correct?
I'll bet Lieberman can't get a return phone call from the DNC these days..
Kinda funny how the Lefties have totally discarded the guy who would be Commander in Chief, ain't it?
Now I must go use the lawnmower.
As long as Hillary! remains boxoffice poison I'm a happy camper.
She's probably alternatively leaving incoherent rants on the voice mail of U of O profs. and trying to get a job on that Senator's staff.
And she's afraid of the comments. Talentless hack and gutless wonder -- two in one!
Maybe Deb finally decided to visit Denise Denton?
I'll say it again, in a twisted way, I'm glad teh Debster went off on JG-if she hadn't, I wouldn't get to read you people and spew Coca Cola all over my laptop... How long will it be before we get a court update? I'm dying to hear what happened there..
