Watch Matt Welch Talk Reason Gag Order on Tonight's Kennedy!

Fox Business Network, 8 p.m. ET, be there!

I will be on the eponymous Fox Business Network program of America's libertarian galpal Kennedy tonight in the 8 o'clock hour, talking about the #TeamWoodchipper unpleasantness (a chilling free-speech saga that you of course can read about right here).

I have it on good authority that there will be many other crowdpleasing moments in the show, including Supreme Court analysis from Judge Andrew Napolitano, and some Grade-A japery from Michael Malice, Jedediah Bila and John Bolton….

Congratulations stooooopid mammals. You have finally achieved notoriety amongst your small-phalic'd betters

But do not fear too soon, your puny federal government is nothing compared to the intergalactic might of Your Future Reptilian Overlords!

So why worry about being on a watch list...when your names are already on a menu!

[Dark Lord of the wood chipper]

So, I've been meaning to ask you for a while. If your people are so damned advanced and powerful, then why all the subterfuge? Couldn't you just waltz right onto the planet and take it?

[mr lizard]

While we may be the dominate force in the galaxy individual planet invasions still require a...permit.

[mr lizard]

And can you filthy mammals be troubled to get a damn edit button. My comment looses so much theatrical appeal without a damn comma.

[OneOut]

We have one.

It's called proofreading.

[WoodchipperFocus(ed)]

Also, "loses".

They want to farm us for tax dollars and the esoteric power of destroying the will of living beings first.

I think that might be a personal best.

[BuSab Agent]

I think you're being subpoenaed by the Reason squirrels.

[Ted S.]

[Fist of Etiquette]

Is that Welch in the Bolton costume or the white dress?

[B. Woodrow Chippenhaus]

Why is Bolton there? Are they going to be talking about possibly bombing Gruber, the Supreme Court, or Reason Magazine?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Fox Biz has a minimum mustache requirement for its nightly lineups.

[commodious spittoon]

I like a nightly line up above the mustache, if you catch my drift.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I... don't?

[Copernicus would chip]

I read that as "naughty lineups".

[Fist of Etiquette]

GroooooooBUR!

[Fist of Etiquette]

Liberals are sure taking it on the chin tonight on Fox Biz.

[Dark Lord of the wood chipper]

Is it just me, or does Jeb Bush kinda look like Welch, if Welch were older, fatter, and slightly retarded?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Matt Welch is a very attractive man. Jeb Bush isn't even the most attractive Bush.

[BuSab Agent]

There are no attractive Bushes.

[LynchPin1477]

The Bushes are true 'Merkins

[Fist of Etiquette]

What about that up and coming brown George Bush?

[BuSab Agent]

ALL of them have beady close-set eyes...yuck!

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

LIAR

There may be no attractive male Bushes, but there are some very good looking female Bushes.

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

"There may be no attractive male Bushes, but there are some very good looking female Bushes."

Re-reading this sentence, I sense I've made a grave mistake.

[BuSab Agent]

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

What is up with the Bush genetics? Are all the attractive genes carried on that second X chromosome?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Would, wouldn't.

In the old days I made aquaintance with more than a few attractivve bushes.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Malice blames you, the American idiot.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Am I going to get a commercial tonight for a magazine called Reason?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Wouldn't that be interesting to see the court choose to try the last Obamacare case and not the current one.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Congressional Republicans will panic and "fix" Obamacare.

[mr lizard]

More like flop, twitch, and then give in... And some joke about your mother.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Choosing a mate is the most intimate, personal decision a person can make and naturally it must be licensed by government bureaucrats.

[mr lizard]

And another joke about your mother... Sparse crowd tonight?

[Lady Dalrymple]

I see a Fox stylist got hold of Kennedy.

Hair frames face at right length, jewelry is proportional and right sized, clothing is cut well for her body type, and color of dress flatters rather than competes, lipstick and nails are even right color palette.

Thumbs up to Fox Business News for getting that under control.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Meow.

[AlmightyJB]

If she's not naked sitting on a horse they came up short.

[sarcasmic]

Aye, and it was a donkey, not a horse.

[sloopyinTEXAS]

What an ass!

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I can't seem to find out.

[BuSab Agent]

Too bad they can't fix her annoying habit of interrupting and overtalking.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

*Fix* it? Fox doesn't think she does it *enough*!

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

Yeah, Fox's biggest ratings smash has historically been O'Reilly (although I think Kelly may have surpassed him) and O'Reilly has never had a guest on he didn't try to interrupt.

[BuSab Agent]

One of the myriad reasons I avoid Fox. IRL when people interrupt and overtalk in a conversation, (unless they're toddlers--in which case I cut them some slack), I walk the fuck away. I have better things to do with my time.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

This time.

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

Was it you who once said that Kennedy has a good figure but the fashion sense of a lesbian trucker?

Because that sounds like something you'd say, in between talking shit about Colin Farrell and telling me I'm a teddy bear.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I think that was Fist.

[Lady Dalrymple]

Fist could never come up with such a hi-larious and original one liner. And it was *blind* lesbian trucker.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Would still show her a good time, and keep her quiet until it's time to get loud.
Alas, I am not a home wrecker, mine or hers.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I don't comment on people's sexuality. You queer.

[Ted S.]

Fist has the fashion sense of a lesbian trucker?

[Fist of Etiquette]

I am very utilitarian.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

As long as it makes his BMI appear normal.

[Fist of Etiquette]

OMG they're going to talk about the incident!!! I hope they mention my name.

[Fist of Etiquette]

THAT IS THE WORST TIE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

[Matt Welch]

Father's Day gift. Wearing it was compulsory.

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

Holy cow, are you just going to let him insult your daughter's fashion sense like that?

First you refuse to stick up for Kennedy's honor when Lady Bertrum called her a blind lesbian trucker and now this? What kind of a patriarchal cis-hetero shitlord glibertarian are you?

[Lady Dalrymple]

I did not call her a blind lesbian trucker. I said she dressed like a blind lesbian trucker. Not that there's anything wrong with being a blind lesbian trucker, expect for the combination of blind with trucker because that is problematic.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Well, now I feel bad. Maybe we are trolls.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

We? The mirror is aimed at you.

[Fist of Etiquette]

There's no I in team.

[OneOut]

But there is a me.

[Limpee Wiltstock]

There's no "I" in "me".

[Lady Dalrymple]

For my part, I liked the tie. You're also one of the few who can wear a pink shirt and still look manly.

For example, Irish looks like a complete homosexual in pink.

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

She's not wrong.

[Lady Dalrymple]

Does Molly Soda dry hump that version of you too?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

The penis is below average.

[Lady Dalrymple]

Must be the plastic.

[mr lizard]

Nice ball gag reference. And look at Matt Welch marking out to you the commenters

[Fist of Etiquette]

I love that state's attorneys take it personally.

[Fist of Etiquette]

(US attorneys, I mean.)

[Fist of Etiquette]

I wish Welch would stop calling us trolls! It has a chilling effect on us!

[Woodchippin' 4 Jesus]

Oh, you know Dad loves us, trolls and Wartys and all.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Kennedy isn't helping here.

[mr lizard]

And Kennedy throwing back to us!

[Fist of Etiquette]

THERE'S THE DOOR, WELCH. USE IT.

The Hawaiian Punch thing, is that real?

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

Activists angry about Taco emoji because the taco displayed is too Americanized and is therefore culturally insensitive to Mexicans.

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

Contains the following paragraph:

"Taco Bell marketers realized that by pushing for a taco emoji ? specifically one that looks like their product ? it would help them "own" the mind-space around tacos in their most transmittable form. "

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

""Those of us rooting for a real taco emoji realized this was a high-stakes game that could be exploited by large corporations to push their version of what a taco is and should be ? and ultimately control the conversation," it continues. "If the Taco Bell taco were to be enshrined by the emoji designers at Apple, Google, and Microsoft, it would be a slap in the face to the creators, originators and purveyors of authentic, non-corporate tacos all over the world." "

[Heroic Mulatto]

As I type this, Church of Gail is being attacked by a giant SENTIENT Burrito and Taco. Bill Nye the Science Guy was able to create a shield that transformed the pookkakee that hit Mexico into burritos and tacos. But Jesuits decalibrated Bill Nye's QUANTUM SUBHARMONIC ACTUATOR, and we need scientists to create a missile that will transform these sentient giant burritos and tacos into something benign.

I am fully aware that this stuff is HARD TO BELIEVE, but I can assure you that I am NOT a clone and what I say is THE TRUTH

[GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard]

Its like agile cyborg's somewhat-more-embarassing older-sister

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

So, would?

[Jesuit Bukkake Bomb]

Bill Nye stop me? And my para-dimensional drive?

Not with that inferior lizard tech he uses.

[LynchPin1477]

most transmittable form

What do emoji's have to do with the colon?

[Limpee Wiltstock]

So pretty much the first guy to register a trade mark acquire total dominion over all reality. Certainly, the only reason anyone is arguing about this taco crap thing now is because it's an inevitable explication of that original metaphorical all-in-one. After that first claim was laid, every subsequent mindspace claimstaking has been a farce.

[LynchPin1477]

A hard shell taco? Literally worse than Hitler.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Two corn tortillas preheated in a pan with lard and salt, (meat of choice), raw white onion, cilantro, optional salsa of choice.

That's a taco, or GTFO.

[GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard]

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Mexico. Mexicans are from Mexico.

[GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard]

White people celebrating Mexican food is very California

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Celebrate? I'm choking the food down. Isn't that thanks enough?

[BuSab Agent]

Some people really need to get a life.

[Irish Says Enough Woodchippers]

Look, if you don't understand the importance of having a taco that looks like the kind of tacos produced in Guadalupe-Hidalgo rather than depicting the corporate filth that obese Americans shovel down their gaping maws because they are uncultured swine, then I'm sorry you don't understand what's at stake here.

Or should I say...what's at steak here.

Because it's a taco.

[BuSab Agent]

IF you want real authenticity shouldn't it have iguana meat?

[Heroic Mulatto]

By "steak," I hope you mean "al pastor," because otherwise you've made a grave mistake.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I have an amazing shortcut. I don't normally do shortcuts, but this one is worth it. Lemme find the link. Standby.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Here you go.

No need to steep 3-4 kinds of dried chiles (usually ancho, guajillo, chipotle, and pasilla), blend them, strain them, and cook them into a sauce with garlic, onion, and pineapples. This stuff is ready for launch.

I endorse without compensation.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Thanks.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I assume you have a guy for this?
I have to get on the freeway to get to good al pastor.

[Heroic Mulatto]

I didn't have an al pastor guy, well a gal actually, until last year.

[AlmightyJB]

Mexican grocery across street has strip steak marinating in an Al Pastor sauce ready for the grill anytime. It's freakin' awesome.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Al pastor is a bit different than that. Perhaps you're thinking of Carne Asada or Adobada?

[AlmightyJB]

Well ideally it would be cooked on a vertical spit but those are more expensive than I'm willing to shell out and I wouldn't use it enough to make my own. So I grill it. I've actually been to this Taqueria Los Guachos a few times. it's pretty good but I don;t think it's as good as what I get from the mexican grocery. There's like a million al pastor recipes in Mexico. Chilis and pineapple tend to be common but difeernt places have different variations.

http://www.seriouseats.com/201.....astor.html

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Now that you mention it, I don't get the point of vertical spits. Make it horizontal so that the fat and juices are spread around...

[Limpee Wiltstock]

Locust meat make a good taco. Also, one can acquire much more nutrition more rapidly and with less expenditure of energy with locust meat than with of your Mormon charity games.

[Limpee Wiltstock]

Except possibly fish, though locust a lot easier to "clean".

[Ted S.]

Everybody knows a Taco emoji should be Dutch

[BuSab Agent]

RACIST

[Ted S.]

The original lyrics (written for the 1930 movie) were about the Black hired help voguing in Harlem on their night off. Gary Cooper wasn't a big enough star in 1930 to by in the lyrics; he didn't get a mention until Irving Berlin reworked the lyrics for the movie Blue Skies in the mid 1940s.

[straffinrun]

it would help them "own" the mind-space around tacos in their most transmittable form.

That sentence blew my mind space.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Yeah well, I'm offended they add cream to alla carbonara in restaurants and a slew of other barbaric twists to Italian cuisine but you don't see me crying about it. I'll whine about it here but you know. I'm Rufus. I'm allowed.

My Chinese friends I worked with at the bank used to mock and describe Chinese restaurants as 'white Chinese food.' One day they took us 'whiteys' to a dive in Chinatown to culture us. It was fantastic. Although I didn't touch the organ soup thing they had going.

[BuSab Agent]

This past week-end I was at my niece's graduation celebration at my sister's house and they had a Portuguese porchetta as part of the meal. Our Cuban-American friend did the honors of cutting it up. The then proceeded to coax anyone he could into eating the brain, ears, tail and tongue. My nephew obliged.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

He then proceeded...

[Certified Public Asshat]

You mean, "crab meat" wontons are not authentic?

[Rhywun]

used to mock and describe Chinese restaurants as 'white Chinese food.'

Of course it is - and it was the Chinese who Americanized it (or Canadianized it) - you know, because they wanted to make money - so I don't see what the BFD is.

[GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard]

The movie "Big Night" w Stanley tucci and tony ayoob is all about an Italian restaurant in the 50s having to Americanize their food to succeed. Hilarious stuff

[Rhywun]

When I visited China ~2001 the food was of course amazing but I suspect it was Americanized since it was a tour group. I dated a Chinese dude somewhat later and believe me they will eat LOTS of things I wouldn't touch.

[AlmightyJB]

I make a pretty decent Egg Foo Yung. Which I think was invented in California but it's still the best thing at a Chinese restaurant.

[PapayaSF]

I will ignore all Mexican activists living in the United States, because they are too Americanized and it is culturally insensitive to pay attention to them. Authentic Mexicans live in Mexico.

[GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard]

I don't even consider them 'authentic' unless them have their own Aztec temple and aren't taller than 5'2"

[Fist of Etiquette]

MSNBC? Williams? Ouch for both of them.

[Ted S.]

Is this the nighttime open thread?

[Fist of Etiquette]

No. You have to talk about Kennedy.

[Lady Dalrymple]

NO. YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT KENNEDY.

[Fist of Etiquette]

And how!

[Ted S.]

Can we finally get past the Camelot shit?

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Aren't they more like The Magnificent Ambersons?

[Ted S.]

They've got a director who's full of himself and overrated?

[Winston]

Did he also voice a giant cartoon planet that eats other planets in a Transformers movie?

[Winston]

So did you ever see The Power and the Glory or The Sin of Nora Moran?

I'm pretty sure the big reason Citizen Kane is so loved is that film snobs hated the talkies and is wasn't until the 1950s that film snobs started acknowledging there were good talkies and one of the first was...Citizen Kane.

[PapayaSF]

Dude, there were lots of good talkies before Citizen Kane, but that movie is truly great. The writing, editing, acting, and especially the cinematography are excellent.

[Winston]

Dude, there were lots of good talkies before Citizen Kane

No, the point is that the film snobs took decades to realize that. It wasn't until the 1950s that they started to acknowledge that Hollywood produced good talkies and one of the first Hollywood talkies to regarded as good in the 1950s (not by contemporaries) was Citizen Kane which was a major factor in its reputation as the Greatest Film Ever.

Compare the 1952 and 1962 Sight and Sound polls. 1952: 4 American silent and only one talkie (a forgotten Robert Flaherty film). In 1962: Kane is number one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_&_Sound

[Rhywun]

The only silent movies I like are Metropolis and... Silent Movie. Otherwise, I don't get the appeal.

[Winston]

Well it was a mostly visual medium. Since you only have to translate the title cards it was easy to translate making it a universal language.

And the early talkies, that killed off silent films completely in a very short period of time, mostly sucked. I mean I'm talking 1928-1930 vintage movies which are rarely seen today, assuming that they even exist at all. Poor sound quality, very stagy, very talky, almost no camera movement (one of the heaviest criticisms of the early sound films) since they had to keep the cameras in booths to prevent the microphones from picking up the sound of the camera motor, actors not used to the new style of film, writers having to write dialogue, microphones needing to be placed so the actor's voices will be picked up...

[Winston]

You Know Who Else like Metropolis?

[BiMonSciFiCon]

Lex Luthor?

[Winston]

I've also read quite a bit about silent movies. Many of them exist in crappy condition and there is the frame rate issue and the musical score issue.

[Winston]

Assuming that they exist at all. See movies made before 1950 or so used nitrate as film stock. Nitrate decomposes if not properly stored and is highly flammable. And into the lack of replay value before TV and VHS and you have a lot of lost silent and early talkies.

Add in the fact that only a certain number of prints could be made before the optical printer destroys the negative and that the prints could only be projected a certain number of times before becoming unwatchable...

[chipper me timbers]

Chaplin was a genius. Give it a try.

[Inigo "Chip" DuBois]

I recently saw The Thief of Baghdad (1924) and it was excellent. Cinematography, production design, and special effects were amazing. I don't doubt it took Hollywood a few years to adapt to sound in movies.

That's some nasty shit, HM.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

You played that card at the wrong time.

Oh, and the girl at the end doesn't know how to Dougie.

How about a cat that doesn't fuck up a flight plan.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Now there's a cat who knows where it's at!

[Quincy chips in]

He's got two altimeters and a microphone.

Cat video.

Agile Cyborg, technical consultant.

That looks like what happened to Greebo in "Witches Abroad".

[Quincy chips in]

Whatever.

At the age of 50, I got my first notice for "jury duty" that started today.

I am perfectly willing to lie to the lawyers and judges that I will "apply the law as written"-despite their ability to fine or even jail me for my beliefs.

I will explicitly advocate for "jury nullification" during deliberations for any law I feel is unjust. (including, but not limited to- any drug case that doesn't involve violence, any "per se" drunk driving case that doesn't have an actual victim, or any civil case that claims "racial discrimination" as a cause of action..

My donation in the Reason fundraiser next year will be $7.01- in recognition of their cowardice.

Fuck Reason.

"My donation in the Reason fundraiser next year will be $7.01- in recognition of their cowardice."

All these brave souls demanding that others fall on their swords!
After you do lie and get busted, we'll take that as worth something.

[Lord at War]

It's worth it to me- cowards can do as they choose...

[Lord at War]

I'm not even an "objectiivist", but Rand's "judge, and prepare to be judged" seems to be an honorable position to take.

And bullshiters can bullshit about what they are GOING to do.
After you do so and suffer the consequences (and, yes, we'll want to see evidence), you'll get my vote. Until then, you're just one more braggart.

[Lord at War]

Besides, 11 of the 17 judge I can draw a trial from are black- I'll just ask them if I should have been required to find Rosa Parks guilty.

"Besides, 11 of the 17 judge I can draw a trial from are black- I'll just ask them if I should have been required to find Rosa Parks guilty."

So are you walking back your claims of courage, or just engaging in some racism? I can see either alternative in your post.

[chipper me timbers]

i like to go with " are you saying I should have turned in Anne Frank to the authorities" when the judge is a JOOOOOOOOO.

[Sevo]

So, racist?
I'm leaning that way.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

This is not not retarded.

[Sevo]

I'm not gonna bother to guess whether this is a sock, or just a random fool.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Just a run of the mill dickhead. The rest doesn't matter/

[Sevo]

BTW, it's interesting that the claim is the 'first notice for jury duty'.
It's easy to claim all sorts of stuff from that platform; your chances of even having to show up at the courthouse are (my experience, back-of-the-envelope) something like 20-1 against.
'Hey, if I have to show up and if I get selected to a jury pool and if I don't get tossed, I'm gonna be Mr. Hero!

[robc]

Ive ended uip on a jury 50% of the time. And each time required multiple days over a 2 week period at courthouse.

[BiMonSciFiCon]

I do not not concur.
