THE AWFUL TRUTH
By: R. Neal

KnoxViews exposed!

UPDATE: Oh, it just gets better:

You know, I think I know what set Randall off...I put up a comment, on one of his pieces (you know he has the habit of doing 'Heh')...I ended my remark with 'HeH' (h/t Glenn Reynolds, whose frequent use of "heh," "indeed," and "read the whole thing" have been widely imitated...) might have set off Randy's InstaEnvy! It must be harsh, living in the shadow of the Nations' Best Blogger, and have to have a minor league site...sorry, Randy, didn't mean to go there...

I hope I can find a picture of Randy. I want to add him to my photochop collection, much like I've featured Retardo Montalban for Jeff Goldstein's amusement.

Not my best photo, but happy to oblige, on both counts! (P.S. My name is not "Randall". But thanks for playing.)

UPDATE: Somebody ruined the fun and told him he used the wrong photo in his photoshop. Here's a snapshot of what his site looked like before he got a clue.

What's a Mother to Do?

Now just what kind of reception should a wing nut expect after posting such as this on a progressive liberal community blog? I thought the usual suspects were remarkably civil, probably because we thought that, bless his heart, he was surely a very troubled young man who had fallen and hit his head.

I had forgotten that one. It was one of the more reasonable posts, at least in terms of being positive towards a point of view as opposed to calling everyone here a surrender monkey.

Knox Man Cries Over Arguement

Submitted by Dr. Write on Thu, 2007/02/08 - 7:56pm.

It's like going to a titty bar and asking them to cover up because you feel uncomfortable. I in fact love coversating different opinions, and in many cases have two different views on a subject myself. Not only can he not handle himself in a debate, but he has the nerve to bring Peyton Manning into the matter. Hell, I was hoping Peyton would one day run for office in the great state of Tennessee, at least we would know there was one educated represenative who had good leadership abilities(without taking payoffs).

Isthmus be his lucky day.
He finally got some comments on his lonely little blog.
Maybe he and Walker can bond.

Not a great day today.

Not a great day today. Feeling puny. Still down about the fire. And the MPC handling of the south waterfront form-based code today, while not a total disaster, still created some damage for us to try to undo at Council.

So I needed a good laugh. Thanks to Serr8d for providing it.

Does Insta-envy mean Randy wants a Glenis? Sorry, I just had to go there.

I'm asking myself, 'Self,
should I clue him in on what's wrong with his photoshopping?'
'Nah,' I answer. 'Why deprive anyone else of enjoying the product of his rapier-sharp wit?'

'Self,

"Snag a photo if you like, but don't try to sell it, I retain the © to all of my hard-earned shots..."

I have a neat little "no-right-click" script I could send him but it tends to piss readers off and it's easy to work around it. It's obvious that he doesn't want to put readers off, and I don't think he needs to be too concerned about anybody selling his hard earned shots. They are far too ordinary.
