“Mad King Charles is one of his most frequent, and most printable, Web nicknames”.
I call him The Douche of URL, but William Teach has other suggestions.
Others covering the story. And as Stacy points out, Vanity Fair has apparently picked up internet Dexter-in-his-own-mind, Barrett Brown, whom I congratulate on the gig. Just for the record, Barrett: I warned you about Charles. But, hey, keep fucking that hockey stick.
In the long run, I think, you’ll regret hitching your fortunes to a falling phaeton.
UPDATE: Patterico has much more.
Excellent article on Charles Johnson.
It’s why one reads the NYT.
“Falling phaeton?” Bwahahaha. Yet what have you become, Dan, a cabana boy at the Hotel Peonage?
A cute turn of a word is no substitute for a spine. I predict you’ll become a hunted child of your conscious in good time, Dan. In the meantime enjoy the electrifying leg tingles at those Larry Craig conventions.
Charles Johnson, if you’re out there, nice shot!
Reread the article. It could be subtitled Douche of URL.
Maybe take off your think-as-you’re-told goggles and read the article again.
Note the studious detail of the subject’s historical background, the time line and illumination of opinions and arguments of differing parties. That’s called real journalism.
Hitching, linking, primping, winky-winking and pimping isn’t how to do it.
Stand up on your own two feet, son.
When you headed to Haiti? HAhaa.
How’s your portfolio? hehehehehe – make the banks pay! yeah – we’ll get our money from them for sure now… thanks a lot Obamarganizer. Another idiot pol. Nothing more.
I mean – it seems when the market takes a dive, you vanish. Shall i pray for a Black Friday?
You know, if you like his place, maybe go over and see whether he bans you or not.
But you’re a fair-minded vulgar man not afraid to spar, are you not? At one time you were the open-minded free-wheeler of the saber and pen
Besides, if I posted over at LGF I’d be just one of many instead of the lone literate person who drives your fuckin’ traffic, ahhaha. Every rose has its thorn…
Bring to me those who wish to cross words, foul or pleasant, with thor, the White God of red hot nasty and mean. I shall best them all with style and fact.
One can love America and still Goddamn it to hell. That’s where I stand, Sir.
Thorn, my tolerance of vulgarity ends where you begin referring to posters here as “cunt” and “bitch.”
Let’s not be hypocritical, Dan, your usage of “cunt” and “bitch” is far and wide.
What’s next on the bad words list, stankified horse-stretched twat?
POWIP is a humble little place. With a humble host. I like it here. Johnson probably succumbed to being Star F**ked and believing the hype. Musucians LOVE attention. And OLD musicians occasionally still long for “Rock Star” status. “meeting movie stars, partying and mingling” – Johnson is now suffering from the Free Fall Tom Petty talks about – where the record company sez “I don’t hear a single.” And that is when we know “The future is wide open.” Rock n Roll is for the young – and there is nothing worse than a 50 year olde rock star.
I didn’t think it possible that I’d run into anyone with a bigger ego than zero. Thorgina has surpassed all in that respect. She lives in the same rarified fantasyland as her messiah. I can imagine them both pledging that tranny sorority together, wearing the same skirts with che imprinted tops and color coordinated barettes.
Thorgina! priceless… the sorority of O!
Stop trying to yank the Enopenis!
Jealous? I’m sure you could find a cosmetic surgeon who’d do an adadictomy and throw in a set of balls as well.
Douche of URL? If I had a sense of humor I would laff. But instead I ban you from the internets. I think it was you Collins who handed me that half eatten tub of pudding when you left the Scott Brown celebration. I finished it not realizing you had…dipped in it. I do not forget.
Forgetting serves your projection and hypocrisy well. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but you may be an exception.
There’s one thing Scott Brown and I have in common, we both make your pussy weep.
You’re the shecky of blog post comments.

yay for Barrett… he’s a good kid I think and he writes charmingly and he’s funny
I like Barrett, too, but he’s got to watch out for the guilt-by-association trap and remember that if he tries to make people answerable to that standard, it’s going to bite him on the ass.
This IS the same Barrett Brown who trolled all over Protein Wisdom, and then cherry-picked the responses to his trollsomeness for some book he supposedly is writing?
‘Feets, your journey to the dark-side is complete.
Now, let’s not read too much into that. I don’t want to do guilt by association at all.
Dan, how long does it take to read the word trollsomeness?
I’m a huge fan of the feets. I don’t choose my friends by their politics, even online.
dark-ish
Guilt by association almost always starts a conversation that wouldn’t have been had otherwise. I think it’s value neutral as a tactic… sometimes there’s an exoneratey conversation what follows and sometimes not is all.
Usually throws more heat than light, and so boring.
I should have hit reply, huh? I will try to learn more better how to comment here.
