“I’m sure a bunch of college kids are devastated this morning after the realization that well-articulated non-specific messages of change weren’t enough to somehow put away the the candidate who is the living embodiment of The Establishment,” writes Alex Balk. “‘But I voted,’ you can hear them wail. Me? I’m pretty sanguine. It’s going to be a long slog to the nomination, and the reservations I’ve had thus far about Obama are pretty much that while it’s great to inspire and symbolism is important, particularly with where we find ourselves in the world’s eyes right now, you’re not gonna make it through four years on hope alone. Audacity, maybe, but not hope. If there’s an upside to yesterday’s results (apart from the fact that he wasn’t completely crushed, which was my worst fear) it’s that Obama has to come down from the mountaintop now and sell something other than being the transformative candidate. Which can only be good for him. As for the kids, it’s probably better that they learn the lesson early. I hope a couple of defeats aren’t enough to keep them down. This is a generation that really doesn’t know about not getting its way, so it’d be nice if this turned into a teachable moment, rather than an excuse for them to turn back to their steady diet of Xbox and date rape.”

Ohoh! You spelled “excuse” wrong in the headline! Naughty, naughty Rob! Are you going to criticize yourself like you do Patrick Gavin for his little mistakes???
Why don’t you create a blog about BHDC, Ugh?
Not ever enough content to comment on. C’mon — you do this professionally and your posting has been erratic at best.
Too many DC-ish sites are on overkill mode right now, but not really saying anything. We’ll better use our time to gather the best dirt, then throw it at you.
Or it could be that you have no dirt at all. Sounds a little more plausible. Maybe you can make up some stuff about gay escorts or steal some stuff from Radar.
Ugh, What is your problem with Big Head DC? I don’t get your hate.
Come on, Rob, it’s a valid point. And in telling Ugh to start a blog about BHDC, are you admitting that BHDC is in fact a blog about Wonkette, FishbowlDC, DCist, etc.?
(Besides, the last time someone started a blog about BHDC, didn’t you threaten to sue?)
When I saw the ‘date rape’ headline I thought maybe this was going to be a really interesting story, maybe something like the head of the Michigan Young Republicans (Michael Flory) who was convicted of raping one of his dates. Imagine my disappointment when this just turned out to be a cut and paste from another blog, and that it wasn’t even about Obama, but was really someone proclaiming their superiority when compared to a typical college underclassman. Oh boy. Talk about setting achievable goals….
I should have known it wasn’t anything very interesting. Democrats have boring sex lives. It takes a Republican to come up with a really interesting (or disgusting) sex scandal.
Date Rape? or just Rape. These are Obama supporters after all. statistically proven to be violent and crime-prone. At least the ones that vote for him almost 100% as a group -wink
C’mon you know it’s true.
Tim,
Rob’s entire purpose with this blog is go after other blogs and other people. If you haven’t noticed, he has a thing for petty posts aimed at Wonkette, Patrick Gavin, and others. If he can’t handle the hate, he shouldn’t throw so much out there.
What’s hilarious is that Rob is too stupid to even read for comprehension! He seems to think that Alex Balk is saying that Barack’s “performance” is an “excuse” to commit date rape and play XBox, when what he’s actually doing is making a refined point about the generation that’s flocking to his message, and if they’ll stay motivated at the first sign of a setback. Rob’s too much of a dumbass to process this, which is why he can’t stay employed! LOLZ!
OOOOOOoooo Rob! Look at all the content you posted today!
Hi, LOLs, my everlasting Atlantic Coast-based friend. Yes, you are right. I totally couldn’t understand what Balk was positing. You so kindly corrected me on the blog I edit, and, boy, now do I feel silly. My readers are probably all “dumbasses,” too (except you!), so I’m sure they thank you as well.
Ohoh!!! Rob’s getting a little testy! How does all the well-deserved hate feel?
It feels like the Old Testament. (Get it?)
Seriously… talk about completely disingenuously misleading headline. And the last time I pointed out a typo here (which I wouldn’t even have done if I hadn’t read at least 2 BHDC posts calling for other blogs’ editors to resign over their typos), it was fixed and I was asked if I had a screenshot to prove it ever existed. Someone can dish it out, but they certainly can’t take it…
(FYI - I’d like to point out that I am NOT “John Doh”, white supremecist. I am “John Dough”, homosexual elitist.)
Come here often?
More often than you post here… which is to say about once every 3-4 days.
Then you get the schtick, and we love you for it. God speed.
