Known Crackpot WD Never Wrote For This Blog

As you may have noticed, this blog has not been updated for some time. Fact is, I totally forgot I had it. After I lost all my commenters on my primary blog, Contra O'Reilly, I stopped checking in here. For the record, my assistant, Arnie Hanson had been writing all the commentaries here for awhile. Or "co-authoring" them. "Take my Contra O'Reilly posts and rewrite them for the LLIN blog" I told him.

Apparently he stopped updating this blog more than a year ago, even though he DID continue to collect paychecks from yours truly. Well, when I found out I fired his ass. Anyway, I was recently pursuing old posts at the blog Who's Your Daddy and ran across the following comments. Comments that caught my attention due to the factual inaccuracies they contain.

Rusty Shackelford: Poor RN, he got caught telling outright lies on three blogs I know of (there may be more) and got banned from commenting. I mean how much credence can one put into anything this guy says. He just cant seem to tell the truth. In fact WD, a half a lunatic got so tired of RN's lying he started a blog called Lying Lesters Irrational Nation... (10/13/2015 at 7:55pm). Rational Nation USA: I have been banned from there blogs. Two conservative intolerant weblogs that refuse to discuss issues truthfully, Contra O'Reilly and FreeThinke. The other is a progressive weblog that like the conservative weblogs refused to discuss issues truthfully. Being banned from those weblogs is of no consequence to me. Well, other than the satisfaction having exposed them for the intolerant frauds they are. As for WD, yup, he and I had profound differences and his LLIN was the result of that. Willis Hart is now the featured blogger on both that weblog renamed for him as well as Willis being featured on Oligarchic Stooge Talk. Keep on trucking in the sludge if your addled brain Shackelford. Keep on trucking. (10/13/2015 at 8:26pm). Rusty Shackelford: Poor RN... its always everyone other but his fault... "they refuse to discuss issues truthfully." What that means, they don't pay attention to his silliness. Wiil Hart and FT are head and shoulders smarter then poor Lester, he just has a difficult time admitting the truth. As for WD, a known crackpot, even he see's Lester for what he is... a liar of the first degree. (10/13/2015 at 9:36pm).

Let me be clear... WD (AKA Dervish Sanders) never wrote for this blog. Rational Nation, a former anarcho-capitalist classical-liberal worshiper of Ayn Rand who despised progressives TURNED Progressive Liberal, USED to write for this blog, but not WD. I did allow Sanders to comment here, but he absolutely never authored any posts.

BTW, Rational Nation (AKA Les Carpenter) started this blog. Then he invited me on as a contributor. Les foolishly made me an "administrator", so (after our falling out) I changed the passwords and kicked him off LLIN. Previously I wrote about how I took over this blog, authoring a bullshit story about how I purchased a controlling share of LLIN stock.

The truth is that I didn't buy LLIN, I stole it. Although my impression was that Les didn't care. After his transformation from anarcho-capitalist into Progressive Liberal he had no interest in writing for this blog any more. I think he would have either abandoned LLIN or deleted it (if I hadn't stole it).

In any case, I don't know about Rusty's claim that Les "got caught telling outright lies". I banned him, not for lying (per se), but for voicing agreement with that asshole Octopus.

Octopus wrote "Yup, RACIAL PROFILING is the same as RACISM, and Will-the-Shill has demonstrated both in this comment thread" and in response Les wrote "Of late he has drifted into more hard core fringe views. Unfortunate as it may be it is what it is".

Wow. Thanks for the impassioned defense, buddy. This comment, in a thread on RN's blog attached to a June 2015 post about the Charleston church shooting of 2/17/2015, was what tipped me off to the fact that RN had crossed over to the other side. That is when he officially became a Progressive Liberal (as far as I am concerned). Progressive Liberals (like Octopus) are immune to the facts concerning how violent Black people are.

Obviously Les is willing to tolerate accusations of "racism" from scumbags like Octopus regarding sane people (like myself) who point out the facts. It was not long after this assault (on Rational Nation's blog) that I banned him from further comment on Contra O'Reilly. So I hope that clears things up. Dervish Sanders never wrote for this blog. A number of people have, but WD was never an author.

Dennis Marks wrote 1 post. Arnie Hanson wrote 2 posts. Lyle Lester wrote 5 posts. Rational Nation (AKA "Lying Lester") wrote 145. NONE of those people are authors here any longer.

Dervish Sanders wrote zero posts. All the other commentaries were written by me. A total of 161 posts prior to the publication of this one. A post, BTW, which might be the last one published on this blog. Given the fact that I've lost interest in writing here. Contra O'Reilly remains active, I'd like to point out. I am not, however, accepting comments on Contra O'Reilly.

Mosey on over if you want to read my thoughts on politics, race relations, sports, hot chicks and lesbians, and a few other topics. But don't expect to be able to comment. Commenting is restricted to "team members" only. Also, I am the only "team member".

That WD is a crackpot is one fact that my old buddy Rusty Shackelford got correct, I'd like to note (in closing). Also (perhaps) a FULL lunatic (he trolled my blog for several years which angered me greatly) and was (partly) responsible for why I no longer accept comments. I just DO NOT want to hear from people who have (incorrect) opinions that differ from my own (correct) opinions.

Octopus Is Decidedly NOT Amazing!

Contrary to what the former proprietor of this blog wrote, Octopus is absolutely NOT amazing! The fact is that Octopus is a mediocre, pseudo-professorial, cringe-inducing, self-important, pedantic, condescending, demagogic, cartoonishly partisan, race-hustling, thin-skinned, intolerant, straight out of central casting, and utterly buffoonish true-believing Leftist blogger.

To steal a phrase from Disraeli, the dude's "inebriated by the exuberance of his own verbosity". And can you even begin to imagine what it would be like sitting next to him on a long plane ride? Yikes, huh? I think I might hijack the plane and crash it into a mountain. Better yet, I think I'd definitely pass a note to the stewardess saying I suspected Octopus was a terrorist. Then he'd be removed from the plane.

By the way, I just noticed that the former proprietor of this blog, Lying Lester, put up a post on his RNUSA blog in which he said the asshole Octopus is "a person possessing by far superior intelligence, reasoning ability, and integrity" and that I, Willis Hart have a "rather stunted mind and character". To which I say "fuck you, Lying Lester". Emphasis on the "Lying".

Supposedly my commentary about Octopus is "projection". This from a blogger you used to be an anarcho-capitalist Libertarian who worshiped Ayn Rand and who thoroughly despised the progressive Left, but now essentially signs-off on every cockamamie Leftist notion under the damned sun from demonizing fossil fuels to playing the race-card to demagoguing on income inequality, class warfare, etc. This is exponentially far from normal behavior and, yes, when you throw in the whole Jersey McJones alter-ego, it's damned near psychotic!

The final straw for me was when that asshole Octopus called me a racist on RNUSA for correctly pointing out the fact that Blacks are incredibly violent. The demagogue said "racial profiling is the same as RACISM, and Will-the-Shill has demonstrated both".

And Lester, instead of defending his friend (at least I thought we were friends), agreed! He said "Comments such as ones addressed by Octopus in this comment thread do nothing to move the needed discussion forward and in fact works against improving dialogue on the issue".

This despite the fact that Lester previously acknowledged the fact that Blacks are also very lazy. So I *thought* he'd have my back! Instead the fucker stabs me in the back! That is when I left RNUSA for good. Because Black being stupid, lazy, violent drug users/pushers is just a fact, and me (in pointing this out) is in no way "racist".

For the record, the discussion in question concerned the murderer Dylann Roof. However (as I've also pointed out previously) incidents like this are anecdotal. By and large it's racist Blacks we need to be concerned about (racism and bigotry not just directed at White people, but at gays and Asians as well).

Sure, there are a few White racists, but not many. The real racists are largely Black. They want what Whitey has, but aren't willing to work for it. Instead they want to steal from the White man, either via actual theft, or via welfare programs (the Democrats being complicit in this theft being a fact that truly sickens me)!

Arnie Hanson's 2nd LLIN Commentary

Hi, my name is Arnie Hanson and I was an unpaid intern working for college credit here at LLIN. As you may remember, I quit LLIN some time ago after the former proprietor of this blog, Lying Lester, decided to shut down the blog due to the chagrin of Octopus.

After the new proprietor of this blog, Willis Hart, hostility took over LLIN, I called him up and asked if he had any need of an intern. Willis' reaction was "maybe", so long as I was willing to work for no pay. I affirmed that I was, so long as he was willing to write up a job review for me to submit to my college professor.

Willis said he would not, so I suggested that I write up the job review, and that all he needed to do was read what I wrote and sign it. He agreed, and that is how I returned to LLIN.

But that was some time ago (#12, 4/9/2014). Since then I completed the class and graduated from college. So why am I still here? Luckily Willis liked my work and decided to keep me on as a paid intern. Although for low, low pay. At first I said no, because who wants to accept low, low pay?

Then Willis suggested slightly higher pay... if I'd also take on the janitorial duties here at LLIN. The pay was still to low, however. So I told Mr. Hart that I'd have to pass. He thought about it for awhile, then suggested he might be able to pay me a little more if I also willing to take on the duties of being his personal valet.

I still said no, as the duties (as he explained them) were way to much work for the salary he was offering. 2 weeks later, however, I called up Mr. Hart and told him I changed my mind. The reason? I wasn't able to find a job. Mr. Hart, knowing he had me over a barrel, lowered his offer. Seeing as my rent was coming due, I agreed. So long as he was willing to advance me enough to cover my rent.

Mr. Hart said he was willing to advance me the money, as long as I agreed to pay interest on said advance (with the advance plus interest to be deducted from my first paycheck). Reluctantly, I agreed.

So now I'm back. Although, to be honest, the hours are grueling. I have to get up early to lay out Mr. Hart's wardrobe for the day, fix his breakfast, and do some light housework. The rest of the day I spend cleaning Mr. Hart's home, preparing his lunch and dinner, and editing the posts Mr. Hart writes for LLIN.

As you may have noticed, Mr. Hart's posts here differ from those on his other blog Contra O'Reilly. On Contra O'Reilly Mr. Hart forgoes the use of paragraphs and (usually) when he inserts a YouTube video, it is in URL form only. Here on LLIN, I edit what Mr. Hart writes (inserting paragraphs and the actual videos. As opposed to URL).

Mr. Hart told me he has no idea how to do either of these things, which is why he needs a "tech nerd" such as myself (although I'm an English major and, as far as HTML goes, am self taught).

I also act as Mr. Hart's chauffeur, driving him to and from work, as well as wherever else he wants to go. Typically I put in 12 or more hours a day. It's hard work, like I said, but I really appreciate it that Mr. Hart was willing to give me a job. I don't know what I would have done otherwise - probably ask my parents for some money? Although I worried that my dad might say no. Not because my parents are financially strapped, but because my parents and me had a falling out (over a personal matter I'm not going to discuss here).

BTW, as I mentioned in my prior post, I DID inquire at The Swash Zone. It seemed like a large blog, what with it's multiple authors. I was hopeful that they might need someone to fetch coffees and donuts, make copies, and do some spell checking and research, but that a-hole Octo turned me down. Dude totally blew me off! He wouldn't even take my call!

Anyway, at the end of the day I guess I'm just glad to have a job. Although the sex stuff does make me quite uncomfortable. That's the part I dislike the most.

White Wealth Matters

Want to know why I so distrust the man (AKA the bureaucrat and the Politician) with the bullhorn? It's because he also frequently carries a gun, a hangman's noose, and the keys to the penitentiary. And only citizens should be armed, damn it! And armed to the teeth, which is the citizens 2nd Amendment right. Government officials, on the other hand, should not have guns. Except for law enforcement officers. And then those guns should only be used to shoot Black people.

Because, as everyone knows Black people are extremely violent (although many are afraid to admit. Racial demagogues like Octopus). This is why Black on Black crime, as well as Black on White crime, is so damn high! Black Lives Matter? Not the lives of the Black criminals, I say. Although there is not that much of a difference between a Black person who has committed a crime and one who hasn't. The one who hasn't simply hasn't gotten around to it yet.

But, as a White man, I distrust the government bureaucrat and politician because they want to steal from me. They call it "taxing" and think they can do it simply if they're buttressed by a plurality of as puny as 50.01%.

Think about it... when Mookie and Ray-Ray break into your rich neighbor's home, steal money, and distribute it to a bunch of poor people, they will be arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned for multiple years (and rightly so). Or shot dead by the homeowner (rightly so as well). However, when the government does it? Nothing happens.

Which is why the rich people are seriously screwed, IMO. What with the government as well as Black criminals wanting to steal from them. Instead of black lives mattering, I say "White Wealth Matters".

On Willis Hart Being FAR Superior To You

It is because I am not a surface thinker.

The old proprietor of this blog authored a commentary in which he claimed that he was a superior specimen. An elite member of the Higher Ordered Persons Society. While this was a statement I agreed with at the time, as of late it seems that the Jersey persona has taken complete control here. Sadly.

Let me explain... Previously I said that I thought there was something kinda fishy about this fellow. It's almost as if he's a little TOO textbook, I said. My suspicion was that he's probably somebody's alter-ego/sock-puppet. Now, not only do I stand by this suspicion, but I am convinced that Jersey McJones is Les Carpenter's sock puppet. I refer to the Les Carpenter of the blog rational nAtion uSA, the former proprietor of this blog. The dude who used the alias "Lord Lying Lester" when he authored commentaries for this site (or "sight", as Les might say).

Anyway, as it turns out, Les is just another surface thinker. This is a truth I have reluctantly been forced to acknowledge. The forcing coming after I, in a discussion concerning an inflammatory episode that we should not give so much credence to... Because it was one isolated (albeit admittedly revolting, although understandable) incident from which no greater conclusions should be drawn (in research we call it an anecdote).

I refer to the murder of some Black church goers in South Carolina recently. So what, I asked? Then I pointed to the stats that prove African Americans are violent animals that need to be watched very carefully... And that this watching should take the form of aggressive racial profiling. A nationwide stop-and-frisk on steroids, if you will. This is the only way to deter the hyper-violence of the black thugs perpetrated on innocent White citizens.

Of course I was attacked by the pompous blowhard Octopus, a low-ball jammer that never ventures from liberal echo chambers where the minions view him as some sort of sage, who stated that racial profiling is the same as racism.

Basically Octopus was arguing that "if you don't agree with me you're a racist", which would comical (granted, in a puerile manner) if it wasn't so rank, dangerous and despicable. I mean, you've got these demagogues like Shaw and Octopus who are just so incredibly limited when it comes to understanding even basic research going around crying foul when they don't even know what they're talking about. I say that when it gets to this level of depravity the saner elements of society have to call these idiots out.

The saner WHITE elements that realize how incredibly violent and criminally-inclined the Blacks are. Does this view make me a racist? Yes, it absolutely does! But for that I make no apologies. In fact, while I may be a racist, it is not because I hate black people, but because I realize Whites are much less violent. That is just a fact... so I like to think of myself as a "good racist". That is, someone who (with no hate), simply acknowledges the facts that prove Whites are less violent (and therefore more advanced, or "superior", if you will).

But I am certainly no Dlyann Roof, who is an anomaly, as I already pointed out. I mean, we must remember that the vast number of racial crimes in this country are black on white and that this whole idiotic narrative that blacks are constantly being hunted down by thousands of bloodthirsty racist whites is bullshit.

As well as a strawman I am quite proud of. THOUSANDS of bloodthirsty racist whites are HUNTING DOWN black people CONSTANTLY? Yeah, that is the sanctimonious leftist narrative (or that is my strawman version of what they argue). What they actually are saying is that racism is still very much a problem, and that these police killings and the Dylann Roof incident are but the worst examples of what this continuing problem with racism has yielded.

But I reject that rational argument (and replace it with my strawman). Why? Because the real argument plays against my narrative. A narrative that says blacks are inherently violent and more criminally inclined than Whites. And that recognizing this "fact" makes me a "good racist" and not a bad one (the bad ones being very rare).

In any case, these attacks from the likes of Octopus and Shaw were not unexpected. What was somewhat unexpected was that an individual who I considered a friend, Les Carpenter, joined in the attacking, saying (in regards to myself) "Of late he has drifted into more hard core fringe views". Acknowledging the truth is NOT "hardcore fringe", Les... Or should I say Jersey. Yes, this is another example of Les utilizing the Jersey persona, which he has been doing more and more of - without signing into the Jersey account.

Anyway - long story short - this is why I, Willis Hart, am truly a higher ordered person. While people like Octopus and Shaw are clearly lower ordered. And Les is, sadly, on the path to lower orderedness. So it is a good thing that I kicked him off this blog. He went back to lying on rAtional nAtion, which is what he does best. Although I think he should really stop lying about me.

Which is a noble tactic to use when it comes to the enemies of the truth as I see it. These enemies include loathsome individuals like Octopus, Shaw and even wd (a total creep who had the balls to think he could friend me on Facebook!).

This is part of the reason I am a superior person... I am one of the thin red threads between Radical Redneck (a racially insensitive buffoon and one of the bad racists) and Octopus (a hardcore racial demagogue). Demagogue? Perhaps I'm using that word incorrectly, as a demagogue is "a person... who gains power and popularity by arousing the emotions, passions, and prejudices of the people"... And I'M the one being prejudiced. So I guess I'm the demagogue!

Still, I'm super pissed at Octopus. And one of the thin red threads between the bad racists and surface thinkers like Octopus who preach that the races are equal (when one race is provably more violent than the other). A "thin red thread" being a good racist and deep thinker such as myself. Which makes me, Willis Hart, FAR superior to most people. Sure, some people may call me arrogant for making such a statement, but I can survive in that space. You might even say that I embrace it (being superior, that is).

Willis Hart's Lying Lester Blog Hostile Takeover

Hi, my name is Willis Hart. Awhile ago the proprietor of this blog, Lying Lester (note: I prefer to call him "Les" and will do so henceforth in this commentary), allowed me to comment here. As a condition of me bringing my considerable talents to this blog I negotiated for partial ownership in LLIN.

Initially my ownership in LLIN only amounted to about 20 percent. Much of the other shares of stock in LLIN Les sold to some investors in order to keep the blog going...

But if I'm going to tell this story I should start from the beginning... My friend Les began this blog as a sole proprietorship (he owned 100 percent of the shares). After he decided to shut down LLIN at the insistence of Octopus, LLIN was briefly transferred over to some friend of Les' named Lyle. When Lyle died in an unfortunate skydiving accident, ownership in LLIN reverted to Les.

But when Les became the owner of LLIN again he discovered the blog finances had been badly mismanaged. Long story short, LLIN was deeply in the red. Les thought he could earn the cash to keep LLIN by building up readership. In pursuit of this, Les brought me on (and signed 20 percent of LLIN over to me). He figured that my skill at authoring commentaries from the Libertarian perspective would attract new readers as well as advertisers.

He was right, of course. After I joined this blog as a contributor revenues went up. But it wasn't enough. The bill collectors demanded to be paid, but the money coming in was just not enough. That is when I agreed to purchase additional shares of stock in LLIN. That way Les could pay the bills and LLIN would not be forced into bankruptcy.

Eventually I ended up owning more shares in LLIN then anyone else when Les sold me the shares that increased my ownership to 49 percent. I told him I would support him staying on as proprietor, and I would remain a contributor. I already have my own blog (Contra O'Reilly), and was content with running things there.

But then I thought, Les has another blog (rAtional nAtion uSA), so he's already in charge there. If he were not in charge here? Well, it would not be that big a deal. I mean, he does not post that much here anyway. Clearly, lying to his readers on RNUSA is his priority.

That is when I got to thinking that this blog needed a new direction under new management. So I went to the other shareholders and convinced them to vote for me as the new proprietor of LLIN. This is what is known as a "hostile takeover". Hostile in that Les blew a gasket and security had to remove him from the building.

Now that I'm in charge the blog will henceforth be known as Willis "I Love Strawmen" Hart's Lying Lester's Irrational Nation. Although I admit this title is a bit clunky, so I think we will go still go by LLIN for short.

Make no mistake, however... Les is out as proprietor and I am in. In charge as the new blog proprietor. Les will no longer author commentaries for this blog. No hard feelings, buddy. Hopefully we can still be friends. This was strictly a business decision. And LLIN, I suspect, will prosper under my superior leadership.

No insult to Les, as he still has RNUSA, and it is, from the appearance of thing, doing quite well. The problem here, I think, is that Les' heart just wasn't in it. Telling people the truth here on LLIN, that is. Turns out he prefers lying. Even though he professed to like having a blog he could be honest on.

But frankly it is my opinion that he lied about that.

Lester Nation's Last Post On LLIN As "Lying Lester"

It is with some sadness in my heart that I announce that this will be my last post on Lying Lester's Irrational Nation. The reason? I have found someone to take over this blog... another superior individual such as myself who is fanatical in his support and admiration of Ayn Rand and Gary Johnson.

Who is this person, you might ask? Well, look to the new header, sidebar pic, and profile image. These are photos (edited by me) of my good friend Lyle Lester. Some coincidence, huh? His last name is the same as my first name!

This is a friend I lost touch with long ago. Fact is, I hadn't heard from my good buddy Lyle in almost 20 years. Long story short, we recently reconnected when I ran into him at the yearly Ayn Rand convention.

We got to talking, and well, the idea of taking over this blog really appealed to Ol' Lyle. So I, Lester Nation, went to work modifying the banner and other images to get things ready for my friend.

That is why this is my last post. As soon as it is finished (and I click on "publish") I plan on turning over everything to my good buddy Lyle... an individual who I know I can trust. This means that he'll be posting using the "Lying Lester" Blogger ID I created. He said he liked the ID so he would keep it as is (with the exception of changing the image).

So, even though "Lying Lester" will continue to blog and comment here... it won't be me, it will be my friend Lyle using the "Lying Lester" ID. (My friend is new to Blogger and did not already have an account/ID).

By the way, do you think my friend looks a little like 2008 Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson? I've heard some people say he does (look like Gary Johnson). Myself, I don't see much more than a passing resemblance.

Anyway, I'd like to take the opportunity to say goodbye to all my loyal readers... as well as encourage them to stick around. Lyle is an as good, if not better writer than myself... and trust me, that is HIGH praise!

Also, I may stop in and comment from time to time, although it will be under my rAtional nAtion uSA Blogger ID, given the fact that it is the only blogger ID I have left (excluding the sock puppets I am not acknowledging).

You can, of course, still find me blogging over on rAtional nAtion uSA, where I've decided to go back to telling jokes and being dishonest full time. Enough of the truth-telling (here, on this blog).

In all honesty I found it refreshing (telling the truth), but it (sadly) rankled the feathers of some of my other friends (the blogger Octopus, specifically). So, now that I'm quitting LLIN, perhaps that will make Octopus happy?

There was another guy who also did not like my truth-telling on this blog, so he should also be pleased that I will not be doing so any longer. But, not to worry, LLIN will go on without me, and possibly be even better than before!

Yeah, I know that's unlikely given that Lester Nation is a pretty spectacular individual... smarter, stronger, more nimble, and more manly than the average person... but I've been over that before. (It's nothing new, in other words. Everyone already knows it is the truth).

Thing is, if anyone comes close it is my buddy Lyle. And that is absolutely not an insult (to say he comes CLOSE). In fact it is the HIGHEST of praises to say that anyone comes close to measuring up to Lester Nation!

In any case, I think it is time to wrap this up. My parting thoughts are... stick around - you won't regret it. Also, visit my humor blog, RNUSA, if you are desirous of a belly-splitting laugh.

And that is all for me. Never again will I post another commentary or comment using the "Lying Lester" ID. It is back to being Lester Nation, although that SURELY is more than enough... toodles.

Lying Lester Misses His Good Buddy Rusticus

Rusticus Shackelford, known affectionately by me as "Schmuckelford", due to the fact that he is a schmuck, used to be a regular visitor to this blog. Rusticus and I have argued in the past, usually due to anger on my part after my buddy writes something incredibly stupid or insulting.

But I have come to realize that is just the way Rusticus is. It's just his nature to be an as$hole. Lying Lester accepts this, as many (if not most) people who know Lying Lester (both online and off) think the same of him.

In that respect Rusticus and I are kindred spirits. There are people who loath Rusticus just as there are people who loath good ol' Lying Lester. Although in Lying Lester's case the hatred is due entirely to jealously, while in Rusticus' case the hatred is due to him being a total jagoff.

But Rusticus did voice support for this blog, and for that Lying Lester is appreciative... and therefore willing to overlook what a jagoff he is. I mean, if Rusticus was someone Lying Lester encountered in real life, he'd probably end up beating the shit out of him (that is, if Rusticus didn't pee his pants before running away).

However, Lying Lester does not have to deal with Rusticus in real life (and for that he is appreciative as well). That being the case, Lying Lester extends an olive branch in fRiendship to Mr. Schmuckelford.

Even though I realize Rusticus may very well slap that olive branch out of my hand and tell Lying Lester to go f*ck himself... metaphorically speaking, he might do those things, that is. In a real life encounter he would be far too scared.

For the record, whatever Rusticus decides is fine by Lying Lester. It isn't as if he's going to have hurt feelings if Rusticus rejects his offer of fRiendship. It is his loss if he does. Lying Lester already has a number of fRiends of all political persuasions. As readers of this blog may know, Lying Lester is fRiends with the lIberal Octopus as well as the Conservative dmarks.

Although both of those individuals only visit and comment on Lying Lester's other blog, rAtional nAtion uSA (even though they are aware this blog exists). I guess a person only has so much time in their day to read and comment on blogs.

But Rusticus only occasionally comments on RNUSA, and only a few times here... and the last few he made fun of this blog's lack of comments. Surely I would be justified in telling Rusticus to go to hell. But Lying Lester is the Bigger Man (if Rusticus can be considered a man at all), so I will take the high road to refuse to insult Mr. Schmuckelford.

In fact, Lying Lester's magnanimity is so great that he will invite Rusticus to comment on his blog AND be his fRiend. The ball is in your court, Schmuckelford.

Regarding The Sale Of LLIN: The Bidding Is Now Concluded

As you may or may not know, I announced awhile back that this blog was to be closed (at the insistence, and due to the chagrin of Octo). I quickly reconsidered, and decided that, instead of closing the blog, I would auction it off to the highest bidder.

I mean, I put a lot of time and effort into setting up this blog, so if it is going to be closed, I would like to get something in return for all that time and effort. And maybe there is someone out there who would appreciate all the work I put into this blog?

Someone who might be willing to pay another to do that work instead of doing it themselves? Or so I thought when I indicated that the bidding would conclude on May 1st and on that date a new owner would be announced.

But turning over this blog to a new owner cannot be done as nobody submitted any (serious) bids. Perhaps I should simply close this blog because nobody is interested in buying it? No, I am convinced that there is someone out there who would like to buy this site and that eventually that person will stumble across this blog and be delighted to offer me a tidy sum to purchase it.

For that reason I am now announcing that the bidding for sale of the LLIN blog is now concluded... and that the bidding for the sale of the LLIN blog will immediately be reopened. LLIN will remain in a state of quasi-closedness until the right buyer can be found. Officially the blog is (and will remain closed), but I will continue to post commentaries until the right buyer is found and the blog is sold.

After that I will turn over the passwords for LLIN (as well as the associated blogger profiles and Google Plus pages) to the new owner. Regarding how long that might take... it will take as long as it takes is all I can say.

Hopefully this decision will not cause the blogger Octopus any chagrin. Although, if it does maybe Octo would consider buying LLIN? Then he could do whatever he wants with it (including deleting it).

By the way, when this blog is sold and turned over to a new owner (as I am positive it will be, eventually), I should remind my fans that my writings will still be able to be found over on my other blog, rAtional nAtion uSA, which is (as previously disclosed) my joke blog. If anyone reading this blog likes jokes and laughing I strongly urge them to visit RNUSA immediately... and to come back often.

Lying Lester Is So Scared He's Pissing Himself!

Yes, I admit it. I am so scared that I am actually pissing myself. Or I did pee my pants, but I've changed into fresh garments now. So, what had (and still has) me so scared? It seems that another blogger is very mad about the stark truths I have been revealing here on LLIN.

This other blogger is so incensed that he is threatening "war" with me. Lying Lester pleaded with this blogger for mercy, but the blogger said no... and then refered to Lying Lester as "pond scum". Now, Lying Lester does not deny that he is pond scum, but he IS truly sorry that this other blogger is so angry.

Could I do anything to make it right with this other blogger I asked. But the answer is apparently no. So what should I do? As I previously said, Lying Lester does not want war with anyone.

So I've been posting some opinions that many find disagreeable, but can we not disagree respectfully? Must we resort to threats? Lying Lester does not believe that threatening those we disagree with is how civilized people behave.

Perhaps Ed Degorio (the blogger who is threatening me) will reconsider and withdraw his threats? I am very, very sorry, after all. Come on, Ed. Be the bigger man and do not resort to threats to settle your differences. We can disagree and still be friends!

I think my friend Ed could learn a thing or two from the Amazing Octopus. Octopus is a highly-principled blogger who believes we should all just get along... and with Octo Lying Lester agrees fully.

So, what about Ed? Perhaps he might consider joining with Octo and me and put our petty differences behind us? Please, Ed, I am begging you. Please do not do anything that might cause Lying Lester to piss himself again!

Reminder: The LLIN Blog is Still For Sale

As I previously stated on 4/11/2014, The Lying Lester blog (Lying Lester's Irrational Nation or "LLIN") is now for sale to the highest bidder. The purpose of this post is to remind people that LLIN is still for sale and bids are still being accepted.

Only serious bids are being solicited, which is why I have instituted a minimum offer of $50. Please do not respond (via comment or email) with a bid of less than $50. Any joke bids received via email will be ignored and any furter emails from said joker will be sent to spam. Joke bids submitted via comment to this blog will also be ignored.

I would also like to remind potential buyers that, as a condition of the sale, that any potential future owner of LLIN not have an axe to grind in regards to (or be disliking of) the Blogger Octopus. I will only sell to a person who agrees with me that Octopus is awesome. Or someone who will agree, at least, never to mention Octo in any of their posts when he or she assumes control of this blog.

This provision will be written into the contract, and if that provision is violated, ownership of the blog will revert back to me, Lying Lester (and there will be no refunds).

Offers can be submitted via this blog by leaving a comment, or by contacting me at lyinglester@gmail.com. What you will get if you purchase this blog is... the blog, set up and designed by me. This involved setup under blogger, header/banner creation, blog layout and HTML/CSS coding. If the buyer is desirous of any changes those can be a part of the deal, although any major overhaul of this blog is NOT a part of any deal I would consider.

The new owner will also receive the aforementioned email address, as well as the associated Blogger and Google+ profiles. $1,000.00 is my target price, but any and all offers will be considered. Please email me your offer by May 1, 2014. All offers received by May 1st will be considered.

In the event of multiple offers, all bidders will have the opportunity to increase their bid. The bidding will continue until one high bidder remains. Passwords, etc will be handed over to the high bidder after receipt of payment.

Any questions or bids can be submitted to me via email or by leaving a comment in reply to this post. Thank you, The Management of LLIN.

Comments From Idiots Accepted To Highlight Their Idiocy

A commenter that goes by the ID "Mista Potato Head" recently referred to this blog as a "hate page", due to the fact that many other commenters have been posting negative things about the blogger Octopus. Or, I am assuming that is why MPH called this a "hate page", as that designation surely could have nothing at all to do with anything I, Lying Lester, have written.

I have only had praise, and a lot of it, to offer in regards to the blogger I think is amazing, highly-principled and a role model that anyone of any political stripe should seek to emulate. Octo strongly believes that we should all try to get along and converse without being rude, no matter our political beliefs... and I agree completely.

But, given the aforementioned negative comments concerning Octo, obviously there are at least a few people who do not agree about civility and decorum being important guidelines to follow whilst blogging.

These people are idiots, IMO, and me publishing their comments does NOT signify agreement! I do it (publish them) to highlight their idiocy. With every comment they are practically screaming "look at me! I'm an idiot!".

When I see such comments they cause some loud LOLing from yours truly! If you're a non-fan of Octo who wishes to proclaim your idiocy via this forum, I approve of your decision. It would be better, IMO, for you to reform and acknowledge the intelligence of Octo, but obviously you aren't going to do that.

So, if you aren't going to shape up, then alerting people to your idiocy is the next best thing, I believe. You leave a comment proclaiming your idiocy and I know who I'm dealing with (an idiot).

By the way, no reason to get angry in regards to this commentary if any of this applies to you. I'm not passing any judgements here, just stating the obvious. Sure, it wasn't obvious to MPH, but he is clearly not that smart. Smart people get it that Octopus is a blogger to be admired... by Conservatives, Libertarians, middle-of-the-roaders, and Progressives alike.

Everyone could learn a thing or two from the amazing Octo. Even those who disagree with him politically. That is just a fact. And, being an individual who is superior to most people myself, you can trust me to accurately identify "amazing" when I see it.

A Second Thank You To The Amazing Octopus: A Blogger With The Highest Integrity & Moral Authority

As I, Lying Lester, previously revealed, this blog will soon be closing due to the chagrin of Octopus. After my initial post declaring my intention to shut er down I authored a few additional posts where I may have given my readers the wrong impression.

I described Octo's REQUEST that this blog be closed as a "demand" and that he "insisted" - and some commenters took offense to the idea that another blogger could "demand" that a blog that was not his own be closed. But that Octo "demanded" anything is not exactly true.

Octo was not pleased with this blog. In fact it rather offended his moral sensibilities. And, given that Octo is a blogger well known for having the highest integrity I have no choice but to bow to his wishes.

I might not agree with Octo's judgment against this blog, but I do recognize that Octo, being both highly-principled and incredibly moral, knows more about these things than an individual who views greed as a virtue does. Simply put - I don't understand how this blog so offends - but I absolutely take Octo's word that it does.

And therefore the blog MUST be closed. Not because of any "demands", but because I acknowledge Octo's authority in the matter of violations of "all standards of civility and decorum" and as well as Octo's authoritative determination that this blog crossed a boundary and turned "petty and abusive and ugly".

Damned if I know exactly how I accomplished all that, but I trust Octo and take him at his word that this blog did. And for that I apologize. And I (again) thank him for pointing this out to me. Octo's guidance in these matters is very much appreciated by this blogger.

A Guest Commentary By One of LLIN's Interns

Hi, my name is Arnie Hanson and I am an unpaid intern working for college credit here at LLIN. The reason for this blog post is that, as you may know, this site was recently declared unfit for reading by Octopus and eponymous blogger has ordered it to be shut down.

As explained to me by the boss man, Lester Nation, the verdict is not negotiable and LLIN must be shuttered. Of course this is bad news for me, as I was relying on this job for a needed college credit.

So, now I've got to scramble and see if I can find another internship before the expiration date to submit an internship for approval passes. The Swash Zone seems like a large blog, what with it's multiple authors. Perhaps they're looking for someone to fetch coffees and donuts, make copies, and do some spell checking and research?

I mean, if they have some openings the least Octopus could do would be to give me a shot, seeing as he is the reason that I'm losing my current internship. And the price is right too, given that Mr. Nation wasn't paying me anything for all the work I've been doing for him.

So, if Octopus - or anyone reading this has an internship gig available at their blog, please let me know by way of a comment to this post, or by contacting me at lyinglester@gmail.com (Mr. Nation isn't allowing me to give out my personal email address but he said he'd forward any inquiries to me).

Well, that about does it for now. If you have any questions regarding my qualifications I can email a resume to anyone who is seriously looking for a blog intern. I have read all Ayn Rand's books and am well-versed in the ideology of Objectivism (so I'd probably be a better fit at a Libertarian/Objectivist blog).

I am, however, willing to accept ANY internship. Even one at a Progressive blog such as The Swash Zone.

LLIN In The Process of Shutting Down

Previously I revealed that this blog was "closed"... but everything can't just come to a halt that quickly. Employees are cleaning out their desks and bills are still arriving for the rent and utilities on the rented office space.

After the last employee leaves I'll still be here. I need to open the doors for, and supervise the movers who are coming later this week to pick up the rented office equipment... computers, desks, photocopiers, etc. After that I'll turn the keys over to the landlord and that will be that.

Yes, I had high hopes when this site was launched, but, as everyone knows, the blogger Octopus dropped the hammer and put an end to the hopes and dreams of me and my employees. Not everyone was fired, however. Some of my authors were transferred over to RNUSA, my other blog that has been in existence for some time.

I had hoped to close down RNUSA and transition all discussion over to this blog, but Octopus did not approve, and therefore RNUSA will continue while LLIN is the one that will be closed.

In this matter I have no choice, as when Octo speaks I must listen. I did try to rebuff him when he first suggested that this blog had to go, but to no avail. Octo was EXTREMELY insistent that RNUSA could remain, but that LLIN had to be shut down.

Given the time and money I've put into developing this site, however, I am looking into the possibility of selling it in order to recoup some of my costs. It is therefore possible that LLIN might return under new management.

If that happens - and I want to be extremely clear about this - LLIN will no longer be affiliated with RNUSA in any way what-so-ever. I say this in case of any objections from Octo. And I don't know why there should be any, given that the site UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT will be the same as any other new site (except the setup and layout will already be done).

I will therefore leave this post up for a few days before looking for a buyer. If Octo decides that the site cannot be sold I will, of course, adhere to his wishes. But he must make them known by the end of the week. Once the site is sold I will have no control over it what-so-ever.

A Thank You To The Amazing Octopus

Does the Amazing Octo wear a skin tight leotard with a large "O" emblazoned on the chest (or perhaps the picture of an octopus)? Is there a large billowing cape attached to his shoulders? If Octo does not wear such a costume... the proprietor of this blog indubitably believes he should.

Octopus is the highly-principled and moral blogger who springs into action whenever discord in blogostan threatens the peace. Once in awhile an outlier infiltrates the ranks of those who only seek peace and harmony among all, even those with differing political ideologies, and when that happens Octo can be relied upon to take the offender to task.

Affiliations with opposing political groups do not mean a person is necessarily bad and therefore unworthy of civil and humane treatment, the sage cephalopod counsels... and all rational individuals who are able to act like grown ups and not big babies agree.

The outliers who do not represent the values of Octo (or those of his friends and associates) should be ignored. "Do not respond to them. Do not call attention to their blogs, visit them, or read the posts and comments therein – even out of curiosity", the noble and prodigiously virtuous creator of the Swash Zone instructs.

And those who are wise like Octo agree and hold fast to this credo. Those who violate it will find themselves justly and righteously admonished and shunned. That is why LLIN had to be closed and must remain closed. The proprietor mocked and chagrined the stunningly marvelous and exemplary octopod who is beyond reproach.

For that the proprietor of this blog apologizes profusely and unequivocally. He acknowledges he was incredibly wrong when he foolishly disobeyed Octo's command to immediately cease and desist his activities on this blog.

And, although it may be unlikely that the offender will ever be forgiven his many transgressions, the LLIN blog will be shuttered none-the-less. Octo will likely continue to believe that the author of this blog is intolerant, quick tempered and character-disordered, as well as thoroughly unpleasant in every engagement.

But this belief will continue for good reason! Although the offender in question was warned multiple times to discontinue his gratuitous argumentum ad hominems (which were often presented in a churlish and cowardly manner)... he did not. LLIN was the final straw the broke the metaphorical camel's back. A culmination of many months of bad behavior that can NOT now be forgiven.

Even if one were to argue that the purpose of LLIN was one of satire - it unquestionably crossed a boundary into pettiness and was assuredly abusive and ugly - and therefore violated the aforementioned standards of civility and decorum.

That is, in the opinion of the Awesome Octo... an opinion this blogger reactively disagreed with... but an opinion this blogger now concedes he was out of line in opposing.

But when one is unpleasant in every engagement eventually those to whom you are unpleasant want nothing more to do with you. As it should be. And, even though it is far too late for this transgressor to possibly attempt any kind of redemption, he none-the-less thanks the exalted Octo for his unceasing efforts to maintain high levels of civility and decorum in the conversations that take place here on the interwebs.

Paul Ryan & Ayn Rand

I might add that I, Lying Lester, am in agreement with Rand concerning Ryan. Even though this is a cartoon written by the Liberal Tom Tomorrow, I am positive he got it right.

In any case, this blog is still closed at the behest of the blogger Octopus. If that makes me "narrow minded" in the opinions of some who believe Liberals are lower than pond scum, then so be it.

The Lying Lester Blog is Now Closed

Due to the chagrin of Octo. It chagrins me deeply that Octo should feel any disappointment or humiliation. My apologies to this outstanding and highly principled blogger for causing him this terrible chagrin. To my chagrin I learned that Octo's chagrin involved me not representing Octo's values or those of his friends and associates.

Anyway, I thought I made a reasoned argument for keeping the blog open in response to Octo's request that I shut it down... but it turns out I was wrong and will now yield to Octo's demands. It probably won't make him happy, but I'll do it anyway.

LLIN is now closed and will likely remain closed. I'm not going to say that it is closed now and forever, as something may change in the future that may cause me to want to re-open LLIN, but I doubt it.

In any case, it was very foolish of me to even try to go against the wishes of Octo. I have learned my lesson. Rest assured it will not happen again. Or, I'll do my best to follow the rules as laid down by Octo from now on, at least.
