Tonight on GodwinWatch...

A thing that politics in this country would be much the better for: A more general understanding of, and education about, Godwin's Law. What, exactly, is Godwin's Law you ask? I'll let Bill O'Reily explain, in a cautionary clip:





Don't be a threadkiller. Avoid generalisations about groups and individuals. Avoid Godwin's.

This public service announcement was brought to you by the letters K & H, and the number Doom.

You learn something new every few years.

They've re-done quizilla, so the dead nazi quiz no longer shows up at its old link. Which is fine, as I desperately need to change it.

For one, karma is infinitely more subtle than I thought 5 years ago, and some of the result definitions need updating desperately.

Also, I need to add a Dead Ally and a Good German/Party Member result.

If those of you who read this screed (both of you) have any additional suggestions, I am a most amenable Kainenchen, indeed.

Bush and Godwin, sittin' in a tree...

Former President Jimmy Carter recently wrapped up a trip to the Middle East, which included talks with leaders of Hamas, an Islamic fundamentalist group that controls the Palestinian territory of Gaza.

"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along," Bush said at Israel's 60th anniversary celebration in Jerusalem.

"We have heard this foolish delusion before," Bush said in remarks to Israel's parliament, the Knesset.

"As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

Whether or not Hitler was exactly the kind of fellow one could reason with when it came to things like total war, the fact remains:

The Bossman Cometh.

In the same vein, Ethel Waters shares our sentiments about everybody's favorite minister of propaganda.

The hits just keep on comin'.

So, I am working on a series of lolnazis to commemorate the... heh... giants among us lesser peons of the Reich. To begin with, I wish to dedicate this video to someone very close to me, a veritable colossus, a... all right, I cannot keep that up. Little Joe, wherever you are, this is for you:



And from the same, well... I have realised, perhaps I insult all my old friends and co-workers, with my lulz, my gallows humor. But really, the sentiment behind my jollies can be discovered here:

That's me: The Looniest Knight of the Year.

:D

The Pants Command Me.

For some reason, the reducto ad Hitlerium one did not post. So...





(yes. Those are the pants Hitler was wearing when he died. They burnt them so they would not be an object of worship, or sommat. Seriously.)

LOL.

Let there be Lulz.

So, I posted a sampling of the Lulz before, and now... the sum total!







The ones below are for use on forums and things... well, you shall see:

Also, I had not ever seen The Great Dictator, by Charlie Chaplin until tonight, as they have it as a nice, free, online movie. Admittedly... it wasn't really what I was expecting. But good. It was good.

Though really, I thought I was all through with guilt. Thanks, Chuckles.

Arbeit Macht LOL.

The internet failed at the place of work to-day, so instead, we made lolnazis. Some for being a forum bastard, some for pointing out a severe case of Godwin's, some just for... well, teh lulz. And here is the lulziest sample:


I think I shall actually make a part of Teh Site, and link from here tomorrow. When I am not a sorry shell of ein Kainenchen.

Passing the torch.

How Timely.

Hopefully that link will work, as ushmm.org links sometimes have problems, but yeah.

HAI CHINA, U noes who even started the Olympic Torch Run? HITLER!

SUBTLE OLYMPICS ANALOGY FAILS AT SUBTLE.

A Subtle? NOT YOURS.

(That said, Go go go the Dalai Lama. Srsly, who could hate that guy? He has Bodhisattva awesome. I can think of few awesomes that are awesomer.)
