"I Got Plenty O' Nothing" | Johnson, Charles | Anti-American | 2009
As the devolution of the once important and now only self-important LGF Blog continues I note, more in glee than in saddness, that Charles Johnson's main page is becoming as vacant of content as a Charles Johnson photograph.
Simply put LGF is out of gas (though still gassing on) and it is gratifying. The only time you're thrilled to see an old clunker run out of gas is when that clunker is a Charles Foster Johnson.
Here's the current wheezing and tired line up on LGF's home page. Ponder, if you will, the sheer entertainment value of this page for those among us who yearn to be filled with inertia. It's amazing how Johnson can ask for so many donations and give so little in return. Even more amazing would be if anyone were donating more to him than twenty-five cents and two Wheaties box tops.
The "Lineup:"
Still it's little wonder that Johnson's page is failing from a brief glance down that menu of Stone Soup Specials at the Famous Famines Restaurant. You get out of things what you put into things and at this rate Johnson's going to have to rename his page "Little Green Less Than Zero" before the year is out.
Perhaps Johnson would be better served if he heeded Lady MacBeth when she commanded:
I pray you, speak not; he grows worse and worse;
Question enrages him. At once, good night:
Stand not upon the order of your going,
But go at once.
Saw this in one of my old Ogden Nash books and for some reason thought of Johnson:
No Bonds Today
Every time you buy a bond
Adolf has a stroke.
Why annoy Adolf?
Can't you take a joke?
Every time you buy a bond
Hirohito's harried.
Wouldn't you feel guilty
If he hara-karied?
Every time you buy a bond
There's Benitos pout.
Is anybody cad enough
to tease a stylish stout?
Every time you buy a bond
The Axites see red.
Don't irritate the Axites,
Buy a drink instead.
(p. 35, "Good Intentions")

Chucky's ponytail is in constant interface with Olby. And no more will I say, out of mercy to the reader.

Posted by: vanderleun at January 21, 2010 8:17 AMSurely, Chuckles also has a post or two discussing the well-documented fact that all "teabaggers" are really racists who only oppose Obama because he's black.
