At least it didn't lay an egg down the back of the set.

I haven't heard the last of Jeffrey Lord? Actually, this is the first time I've ever read his name. Next time you write about him, Dok (or any Wonkette writer), you'll have to remind me who he is/was, because he was a nonentity to me before this article.

Seven unpublished novels? And you can get any pluperfect piece of shit published if you can slap a recognizable name on the cover. He must be a really shitty writer.

If this thing accelerates, we could quickly reach peak conservative pundit saturation among right-wing media, leaving no available positions for later firings to transition into.

He can go in with Milo and they can have their own imprint.

Actually, pluperfect does mean "more than perfect" as well as being another term for past perfect verb tense. So you'll have to settle for mocking him for the content of his speech rather than that particular word choice.https://www.merriam-webster...https://en.oxforddictionari...

The secret of dinosaur porn (as with werewolf and Bigfoot porn) is that it's bestiality porn that isn't REALLY bestiality, if you get my drift.

I got to say I had never heard of him before last week myself. The hair. I thought he must be a smarmy televangelist.

Well, danby dunby! If the pluperfect ain't one of my favoritest verb tenses, I don't know what is one of my favoritest verb tenses. I hadn't had a favoritest verb tense before I had discovered the pluperfect. That said, it saddens my heart to report that pluperfect can in all actuality and in a defiance of the Ph.D. Doc has be used to mean more than perfect. I hadn't known until I looked it up in the dictionary oh these many years ago. This here is copied and pasted from dictionary.com:

pluperfect

[ploo-pur-fikt]

Word Origin

adjective

1. Grammar. perfect with respect to a point of reference in past time, as had done in He had done it when I came. designating a tense or other verb formation or construction with such meaning, as Latin portāveram “I had carried.”.

Lord gets the axe for a Nazi "joke"...

Kinda like Paul Newman getting an Oscar for The Color of Money, and not say, The Verdict or Hud.

Oh well, as they say, "at least he got it". Newman, the statue, JayLord, the boot.

"And if no one publishes them, that’s more proof the fascists are everywhere."

Today I learned that despite their more massive flaws, fascists have taste in literature.
