Pile On!

The rest of the internet is still calling Megan stupid for her latest retardo-tantrum. Here's a good one.

I owe Mark Ames a beer. This is fucking awesome. Read it. I'll be referencing it forever.

(from Susan down below in comments, and anon)

Nutella enjoys and laughs heartily, then contributes:

Hey, who wants to look up that post where Megan claims to have grown up working class? That when she lived on the upper west side, it wasn't the upper west side of the elites that we know today?

I gave it a try, NoT, but had to quit out of boredom. But I did discover two things - I knew Megan has absolutely zero creativity when it comes to giving titles to her posts, but man, does she re-use the same ones a lot. Also, she constantly switches between "working class" and "working-class," sometimes even in the same damn post. Add "consistency" behind "research" on the list of things Megan needs to look up.

Chad said...

I always assumed that Megan, like so many Libertarians, came from a background that insulated her mostly if not entirely from the actual "free market society", but this is rich (pun intended!).

I wonder if she'll react to this at all? If she does, will she just argue ad nauseam that there's no issue at all like she did when everyone was pointing out her conflict of interest with Peter Suderman, or will she take a cue from Andrew "Bell Curve" Sullivan and stomp her feet and cry "Privacy!" while completely ignoring any and all valid suggestions of hypocrisy?

NutellaonToast said...

I hope she cries "privacy" so we can throw the digging up of the bankruptcy of that guy's wife in her face.

NutellaonToast said...

oh, and CP, I've noted before how often she reuses titles. Do I suck so much at writing that that hasn't come across?

SoT, you are a constant treasure.

NoT,
No, I've noticed you guys pointing it out before. It's just kind of surprising when you see so many of them there on one page when searching the Atlantic.

Downpuppy said...

OK, when she does something utterly moronic does she retract or double down?

Rhetorical question, OK?!

Does anyone know where to find data on insurance premiums for the self-employed?

NutellaonToast said...

If you're really in a pinch, I could stop by student health and pick up some facts about rates in California from them. they provided me with some info when I took leave, but of course pre-existing conditions let them to advise me to not bother shopping around.

If I recall correctly, the rate for a health 25 year old was about 220 a month for the lowest tier of coverage.

Susan of Texas said...

No, I appreciate it but it's not necessary. I'm just curious to see the difference between the rates.

bulbul said...

Oh teh irony, it buuuuuuuuurns!
Then again, I'm not the least bit surprised, it fits perfectly. It's just like that time I found out that one of our local rightwing fucktards was spying for the communist secret police. It just figures. His reaction, however, was rich: "Yeah I did, so what?". I very much suspect Megan will take a similar position.
And hey, NoT, interested in her biography now? :)

NutellaonToast said...

too much work... bulbul... but it would be amusing.

bulbul said...

Very true, NoT, very true... But just for the heck of it, I'll start keeping track.

NutellaonToast said...

I give brad permission to give you my email if you email him (I don't have access to the FMM email). I'll send you a note with the things I can recall off the top of my head. You'll be rewarded with a 0.015332% share in all future FMM profits.

bulbul said...

Woo-hoo, internet is back on! Now where was I...

NoT,
you're on. And the first fruits of my research are an answer to CP: I think you mean this:
"But by the standards of that list*, I was really rather deprived. My house had two bedrooms for four people, and one television that I was barely allowed to watch. We took no vacations, other than driving to visit aunts, uncles and grandparents. I got out of grad school with about $100,000 worth of student loans."

*I challenge you to read the post and find out what list she's talking abour.

clever pseudonym said...

She's referring to the list mentioned in a post she made a day earlier. Not that she alerts anybody who, heaven forbid, doesn't keep every post she's ever written committed to memory.

But I'm confused. In Susan's links, Megan says she went to school with kids from the projects. In Bubuls, her classmates were the most privileged kids in the country. Which was it?

Susan of Texas said...

I guess she went to the local elementary school but it was so rough that they put her in one of the most expensive schools in New York instead. Which also doesn't make sense.

How did she get into that school? Money alone won't do it, I'll bet.

bulbul said...

09/11/08, re: Obama's daughters attending a private school instead of a public one:
"My parents struggled with the same decision--my father worked for a Democratic city administration at the time, and they had both ideological and political reasons to want me to go to public school. But the catastrophic condition of New York's public schools at the time was too much for them, and at considerable personal sacrifice they ended up putting me in private school."

Dammit, now I have to at least scan her bullshit. How you guys can stand it without going nuts, I will never know...

NutellaonToast said...

Being pretty lazy about it helps.
