As nearly all decent and civilized people might agree, if all the primitives on Skins's island were suddenly to evaporate into thin air, nothing left behind them to remind us they had once been, the world would, little if at all, note their absence.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as the drek primitives--of which there's only four, the skumbag primitive, the Die alte Sau, the high fructose corn syrup primitive, and Ms. Ed the unappellated eohippus--whose evaporation would lead to the betterment of humanity as a whole, a cleansing of the earth of a gangrenous stench.
But generally, among the first-tier primitives, the second-tier primitives, the third-tier primitives, the unterprimitiven the faceless lynch mob, the abbandonado primitives, and the les risibles primitives the laughable ones, if they were gone away, the world would shrug its shoulders and move on.
If Pedro Picasso or the sparkling husband primitive were to evaporate, who would care?
One would however miss the non-primitives, those who ended up on Skins's island by random chance or accident, who really don't belong there, and who despite their best attempts to adapt to a hostile environment, don't.
I've been watching the primitives for a very long time now, and as with anyone else watching the primitives, I've developed a certain fondness for some of them, such as say, for example, my fellow alum Skins or the buzzy one.
Their Quixotesque endeavors to inject sense and sensibility into the primitives fail, and fail abysmally, but one has to admire them for their stoic tenacity; their courageous attempts to hang on despite all overwhelming odds. Truth of course is a powerful weapon, but even Truth can be overrun by the sheer mass of Hate, ignorance, selfishness, self-delusion, and paranoia.
And hence we come to Gloria Swanson ("Tangerine LaBamba").
Disclosure: I do not know of the primitives off of Skins's island; my own observations and amusement derive only from the confines of Skins's island. How the primitives are on other web-sites, or their own web-sites, or elsewhere on the internet, or in real life, I voluntarily remain ignorant, because franksolich is a nice guy who adheres to the rules of good clean sportsmanship.
Skins's island is the playing-field, and the playing-field has boundaries.
Further disclosure: Fat Che is the one exception, and for very good reasons.
And hence I know Gloria Swanson only from seeing her interact with the primitives on Skins's island, nowhere else. I have no idea what she looks like, never having gone anywhere where she might have posted a photograph of herself, other than that Gloria Swanson is very old, having been around since God was a boy.
The "picture" that emerges of Gloria Swanson--a picture painted with words--is that of a strikingly attractive woman who has always taken care of herself, despite the ravages of Time; sort of like a kinder softer Nancy Reagan.
No Grace Goodhue Coolidge, Gloria Swanson, but when compared with the femme primitives on Skins's island, obviously a sui generis, no one coming even close.
Gloria Swanson alleges to be an attorney, and a professional writer, and has been at least acquainted with mid-level celebrities such as William McAdoo, Nicholas Longworth, and Aimee Semple McPherson--and despite one's best attempts to poke holes in all that, no holes can be poked.
DUmmies lie; all the time, DUmmies lie.
Which is why Gloria Swanson is not a DUmmie, instead being a non-primitive.
Her ideology sucks, of course, but as a person, Gloria Swanson is the real thing.
Her frailties actually make Gloria Swanson all the more endearing--the well-kept-up older woman trying desperately to adjust to a new set of eyeglasses, the gracious backing-down in face of the ferocity and venom of Grandma (the "hippywife" primitive), the genteel pursuit of younger men.
The last is a mystery to some; why Gloria Swanson would chase after a chubby flaccid boy-man of indeterminate sexual preference who happens to be manager of her apartment complex. There are many other younger men, franksolich among them, much better looking, and who know how to treat women of Class and Distinction and Wit with the respect and admiration they deserve.
What is one to make of Gloria Swanson?
Gloria Swanson is allegedly undergoing chemotherapy--no evidence exists to the contrary, despite one's best efforts to find it--and is soon to surpass Doug's stupid ex-wife in posting on Skins's island, as if in a frantic, frenzied, desperate attempt to leave her "mark" in this time and place.
Methinks Gloria Swanson tryeth too hard, and in the wrong place.
In the first place, Gloria Swanson despite her political ideology that has crippled her, retarded her, has already left her "mark" in this time and place; a not unimpressive record of accomplishment, compared with the imaginary feats of the primitives.
The Bostonian Drunkard, for example, hasn't done shit with his life, when compared with Gloria Swanson.
In the second place, Skins's island, brimming with coarse uncouth primitives, is the last place one can hope to instill courtesy, manners, style, taste, and class.

Were I Gloria I would be quite touched by your words.
If you haven't already seen these I'm linking to Progressive Independent and a couple of discussions concerning Gloria. Seems a few there are convinced she's OLL.

Thanks, whiffleball, sir.
I've thought Gloria Swanson was the left-handed attorney who gave the Bostonian Drunkard so much well-deserved grief (but too little of it), for quite some time now.
We all recall that the left-handed attorney did Yeoman service for the truth.
She spoke truth to power, and for some reason the Bostonian Drunkard didn't like it.

That's a very lovely letter, and if you were referring to me in it, I am beyond flattered. Thank you very, very much.
I am not, though, all that loud. Aimee Semple McPherson? No, I met Averell Harriman just once, when I want sent - the highest-paid messenger in my DC law firm that day - but I worked for a man who know what a treat it would be for a young attorney to meet someone like Governor Harriman. My boss's name was Charles Springs Murphy, and you can read about him quite handily at the Truman Library website, the library in Independence, MO. I know his papers are there, because I was the one who took them out there on a special Air Force plane that did stuff like that all the time for the National Archives.
Through Charlie I met some amazing people - Clark Clifford, Jimmy Carter, Secretary John Snyder, who always stuck his tongue down my throat, one of my jobs being to go get Secretary Snider whenever he showed up for one of his frequent lunch dates with Charlie. They were old men, getting older 'way too fast, and Charlie wanted me to meet as many of these men of history as possible before they died. (Charlie died in 1983.)
So, Gloria Swanson, thank you for the compliment - I think she was a great beauty and a great actress, but I'm neither.
Yeah, I was treated with chemotherapy for an autoimmune disorder (do you guys miss ANYTHING?), but it worked really well,and I'm feeling pretty good most days, thank you for your concern.
And I did not CHASE the fat boy who is the manager of this apartment complex. He just became a good buddy of mine, willing to do a lot of favors for me when I was undergoing the chemotherapy. He was a great help, but "chasing" him" No, that was an interpretation someone else put on it. I'm happily married, and my chasing days are over. I just don't have the energy any more.
But when I did it, it was great fun.
I've always made friends with the people who worked for me. Made the whole process a lot easier, and nicer.
The simple truth is that I've just been very lucky in my life. Look, I even found THIS place! Tell me that's not a stroke of absolutely great luck...............................

You never saw this when it first came out?
Damn.
I have to do a better job of getting primitives, and other inhabitants of Skins's island, to notice this place.

You certainly do. I never even heard of it until I stumbled across it today - if greenbriar can google my name, why can't I? And that's how I found your site.
From what I read on that link about Tangerine LaBama and her evil ways, there is a rule against even spelling out the name of your site at DU, that bastion of openingnedness.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9170212#9170237
See for yourself, at reply #73. After that's posted, greenbriar claims that she's not allowed to name your site. I kind of believe that, since I've learned that DU is terribly afraid of anything that challenges their namby-pamby beliefs. Scared.
Of course, greenbriar is also a known liar, so isn't this an interesting situation?
-
Ya know something? The least one of the mods can do, or one of the admins, is change TLB's avatar to a pic of Gloria Swanson. The caveman from GEICO isn't befitting of her.

Welcome to the cave Tangerine! Good to hear your health problems are improved.

There is a hard and fast (yet by in large unspoken) rule that CU and CC are not to be mentioned and especially not linked to. Skins and his team are very much "on the ball" when it comes to enforcing it as well.

Welcome TLB!

Welcome and a toast to your health!

Welcome to our little cave TLB. I'm sure you have tickled Frank a bright shade of pink.
-
Boy, you got that right, Crockspot. This is the best Christmas present for Frank, evah! A lost love found, if you will. Gobucks, before you get nauseated, you mind your manners like your mama taught you. :-)
Now Frank, you're a mod. Can't you do something about that avatar of hers?
As for getting this place noticed by primitives. We should name-drop it in sites that house a fair number of trolls. We have several at moonbattery, and I haven't shamelessly promoted CC (as if I own the place) in a while. Newsbusters, Townhall, and PJ media get them, too.

How about offering a lady with a lamp and a little sonnet by Emma Lazarus
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Currier_and_Ives_Liberty2.jpg/377px-Currier_and_Ives_Liberty2.jpg)
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
to all primative posters who drop in? You never know, it might generate some walk-in trade.

Welcome to the cave, TLB. You are (were) one of my favorite DUers just because you called Greenbrier out on her idiocy.
:cheersmate:
-
Well Ms. LaBamba, I see from that thread that Redstone hates you.
That is a BIG PLUS in my book.
-
OMG, Frank.
I'd say get a room, but it may amuse the cats, so carry on.
(And have a very Merry Christmas. Will be up that way on the 23rd). I'll post pictures.

I concur whole heartedly. Wow. What a great surprise for Frank.

This goes along with my oft-stated (and oft-ignored) comment that I could post a photograph of my role model Clare Boothe Luce and say it was me--and who could disprove it?
Profile information is easily manipulated, and there might be a reason for this.
If I were a woman, for example, I'd have as little accurate information on the internet as possible, given that there's more than one Fat Che roaming around.

Remember what progressiveindependent is, more vile and disgusting than Skins's island, and more likely to have a whole lot more Depravities and Monsters.

I might have to visit progressiveindependent more - I didn't know there was a website other than You Porn that could be more vile.

Oh my yes.
A couple of times, our esteemed colleague USA4ME has found some good stuff there, and brought it over here, but as for myself, I prefer to keep my Pollyanna perspective, and the primitives are about as low as I'm willing to go.
If Skins's island is a holding-tank for human waste, progressiveindependent is the bottom of that same holding-tank.

I know. There were several people on other boards that I didn't know were females until a year or more of talking to them online. On some boards the gender thing may not come up for a long time. Sports boards are bad or good, I suppose, about that.

A bona fide celebrity in our midst.
Welcome, ma'am.
You spent far too long in that cess pool.

Hello TLB.
We might make fun of the DUers but we also acknowledge them when they deserve it. Of course they usually get tombstoned.

I don't care how pretty the package or how charming the words, liberals/socialists/Little Goons/democrats/Satan's Soldiers still come in only two types ~ and they are both dangerous to free and normal people everywhere.
I cannot and will not pretend to respect either type.

Agreed 100%. The philosophy and political aims of the democrat party identify its members as vermin and enemies, regardless of any facade they try to erect.
