Better yet, El Reg does the Antagonista-told-you-so-doble, complete with a beautifully ironic twist.
The following quote about your humble blogger -- note the name of the person who penned it -- is taken from the Feelers' right-hand sidebar entry over that-a-way ->:
coup d'etat "power surge" changed everything:
25 June 2005All this time later and those lovely people historically responsible for holding vibrations of air hostage are still trying to figure a way to keep their profitable racketeering going by 'monetising" Peer-to-Peer (P2P) filesharing while simultaneously co-opting The Antagonist's very own "new economy" tag:
Filesharing - The New Economy of Community

"I’m glad to be able to announce that the UK now has it’s very own mindless twit. || Either that or he’s a damn good satirist."Three posts of a kind, all about the popularly propagated myth that cannabis consumption is responsible for increased levels of psychosis, all published right here on Reason.... just weeks before the 2005

- 22 June 2005 The Cannabis Psychosis Myth Exploded 24 June 2005 Cannabis Psychosis Myth Explosion #2 26 June 2005 Cannabis, Mushrooms, Psychoactives & Evolution
Three and half years on from the three of a kind and El Reg publishes this little gem by, er, the same author as the Feelers quote:
Well, well. Who'd have thunk it? More amusing yet is the fact that Worstall uses a few points about the myth of cannabis psychosis, made by yours truly in the articles posted over three years ago, and then claims that nobody has ever posited such notions before.
Apparently, the truth of any matter is of no consequence until it is coopted, prounounced by, and charged for by scientists.
Ho ho ho! "Mindless twit" it is then, as confirmed by scientists after three years of intensive research.

Prescription Drugs Kill 300 Percent More Americans than Illegal Drugs

After years of coalition force activity in Afghanistan, opium crops have reached record levels and Afghanistan now has the infrastructure to export heroin instead of raw opium. Of course, there's no connection between the two and Gary Webb is probably turning in his early grave.

You've always been a lot more influential than any mainstream cunt, male or female, would ever knowingly credit you for.
I thought Gary Webb was Gary Numan's real name?
As ever, too kind.
Webb might be Numan's original nym, but I was referring to the journalist that implicated the CIA in drug-running, and who met with an untimely death for doing so. Turned out his allegations were in the right ball park despite fervent denials at the time.
"Never believe something is true until it's officially denied", I think the saying goes.
Yes, Mr. Webb was a man of amazing skills, said to have committed suicide by shooting himself in the head - TWICE. What talent.
Does that count as a double suicide?
