    Is he in any way related to J.G.Thayer?

    cons always talk about “activist judges” and “tort reform” but are quick to file a lawsuit

    Please Please Please tell me you have seen this clown’s twitter feed. KagroX was making fun of him on twitter so I went to see what all the fuss was about. This guy is bat shit crazy!

    There are some particularly choice and trenchant comments in TBOGG’s thread on this wackaloon:

    ”5. Grasmick is Facebook friends with Shauna Daly, Research Director at the Democratic National Committee and a known bare knuckles political operative known for digging up dirt on political opponents ( Exhibit AB).”

    Ooh, guilt by facebook association! so busted!

    I do think, though, that if a lawyer had been involved in this they most likely would have insisted on it being spellchecked.

    I work at a state prison, and I’ve seen more coherent lawsuits from Wiccan inmates demanding a reflecting pool on the rec yard. No, I’ve seen better legal reasoning filed by a drug dealer who insisted he should be let off from his latest charges because his parole officer was supposed to immediately arrest him rather than allow the police to arrest him after he sold certain items to an undercover operative. On second thought, I’ve seen better legal minds claim that their right to “Inches” and “Freshmen” was as important as… well, I forgot the details of that one and the plaintiff probably decided to end things at the administrative level. Which goes to show you all that people in prison have more sense than this guy.

    As much as I don’t like the guy, you’re kind of reaching here. Please knock it off.

    OK, am I the only one that doesn’t get this reference?

  7. Jay Tea says:

    Rheinhard, don’t blame yourself for not “getting” Strowbridge. It’s actually something to be proud of.

    He’s freely admitted that he sometimes just makes shit up when he feels like provoking a reaction. Truth is irrelevant to him.

    FYI, “Jay Tea”’s real name is J. Thayer. CSS likes to use it as often as possible.

  9. Jay Tea says:

    More specifically, Sean, I’ve been using “Jay Tea” as my oneline nom de plume for well over five years. The other name is the one I use for my current job blogging for Commentary Magazine.

    And for the record, neither is the name I answer to in real life. For some reason, Strowbridge enjoys using the more formal one.

    I don’t care one way or another, and don’t care why. The first reason that springs to mind is that he likes the more formal one, so nobody makes the mistake of thinking we have any kind of amiable relationship.

    Rheinhard: “OK, am I the only one that doesn’t get this reference?”

    I made a joke about J.G.Thayer (Jay Tea) being fired as a blogger. He then threatened to sue me. It was funny as hell.

  11. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    Me: “Is he in any way related to J.G.Thayer?”

    PD100: “As much as I don’t like the guy, you’re kind of reaching here. Please knock it off.”

    Reaching? You don’t remember him threatening to sue me?

    Sean D. Martin: “FYI, ‘Jay Tea’’s real name is J. Thayer. CSS likes to use it as often as possible.”

    J.G.Thayer: “For some reason, Strowbridge enjoys using the more formal one.”

    Likes to use it? For some reason?

    I’ve already explained why I use it… Because there are two people that use Jay as their names here. Even using their last names, I still sometimes get what they have said mixed up.

  13. Jay Tea says:

    OK, you’re using the “I was only kidding” defense now. I’ll buy that. Considering that you have never, ever shown the slightest bit of humor before, I have no problem believing that you simply don’t know how to crack wise.

    OK, who’s got some “Strowbridge is a pedophile” jokes they want to try out? Remember, they can sound as serious as you like, as long as you say that you were only kidding a few weeks after the fact.

  14. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    J.G.Thayer: “OK, you’re using the ‘I was only kidding’ defense now.”

    Now?

    “Considering that you have never, ever shown the slightest bit of humor before…”

    Oh Mr.Thayer, don’t be a sourpuss, just because I brought up how you were fired from you blog. I know the wound of that ignominy is still fresh, but please try to keep a stiff upper lip.

    “OK, who’s got some ‘Strowbridge is a pedophile’ jokes they want to try out?”

    If there’s grass on the field, play ball!
    If not, turn her over and play in the mud.

    I have about a dozen more similar sayings, but I will resist posting more of them. (I also collect those motivational posters (”Because the Best Things in Life are Illegal”).)

    The fact that you continue to overreact leads me to believe you really were fired from being a blogger.

    I didn’t even know that was medically possible. I would assume most bloggers are not being paid enough to be worth firing.

  15. Jay Tea says:

    I’ll repeat the same thing I said before, Strowbridge:

    Put up or shut up.

    Name the blog.

    Name the date.

    (Even an approximation.)

    You, as is your wont, are simply making up shit. And, like the sociopath you are, you enjoy playing with your own shit, smearing it around in ways you consider it artistic but is simply disgusting.

    You’re a liar, and you revel in repeating your lies because, presumably, you’ve given yourself carpal-tunnel from rampant self-abuse, and this is the next best thing.

    You say it. I deny it. I cite proof that you’re lying, and you just stick your fingers in your ears and keep repeating it, even though you have absolutely nothing beyond your own delusions to back it up.

    You give pathetic losers hope — they can look at you and say “I’m worthless, but at least I’m not Strowbridge.”

    J.G.Thayer: “I’ll repeat the same thing I said before, Strowbridge:

    (Even an approximation.)”

    I’m yanking your crank, you dip shit. I’ve said so on numerous occasions. Yet every time I mention that you were fired from a blog (tee hee hee) you still react like I’m being serious.

    “You’re a liar, and you revel in repeating your lies because, presumably, you’ve given yourself carpal-tunnel from rampant self-abuse, and this is the next best thing.”

    Oh my god! You said I’m a chronic masturbator! I’m going to sue! And just so you know, I don’t have carpal-tunnel! So you are a liar. Libel. LAWSUIT!!!!!

    How come you are allowed to insult me with lies, but I’m not?

    I would like to know the answer to that.

    I would also like to know why you compare being fired from a blog to pedophilia? That seems… a tad out of proportion. Almost blindingly offensive to people who were victims of sexual abuse as children.

    But that’s the difference between us. When I insult you, you act like you are the victim. When people insult me, I’m worried about others who might be offended.

  17. Jay Tea says:

    And Strowbridge, I say “put up or shut up” because I know you are incapable of doing either.

    You can’t put up, because what you say (as is so often the case) is absolute bullshit, a fantasy you cooked up.

    You can’t shut up, because that would mean you’d have to admit that you’re a lying sack of shit, and you’re incapable of admitting that.

    So you just run away, and every couple of weeks you start the same old bullshit over again.

  18. Jay Tea says:

    Go ahead and sue me, Strowbridge. Then I’ll have the judge explain to you what “presumably” means. You don’t even bother with weasel words and conditionals.

    You do raise one good point, though. You lie and make up shit all the time; there’s no real reason why I should single out this fabrication from all the other ones you spew.

    Except it’s about me. And I choose to do so.

    You do raise one point that makes me feel a little better, though. Your defense — “everyone knows I’m a sociopathic lying sack of shit anyway!” is compelling.

    J.

  19. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    J.G.Thayer: “Go ahead and sue me, Strowbridge.”

    You really are fucking stupid.

    Clearly I was joking. I was making fun of you for threatening to sue over my groundbreaking investigative journalism that uncovered that you were fired as a blogger. (Tee hee hee.)

    By the way, that last part was a joke. I know you said I’ve never been humorous here, but maybe you think that way because you can’t recognize humor.

    Perhaps that’s why you were fired. (Tee hee hee.)

  20. Jay Tea says:

    OK, Strowbridge. Now I get it. I misunderstood you.

    You aren’t MAKING a joke, you ARE a joke.

    Everything you do is a joke. It’s not funny to anyone else but you, and often not recognizable as a joke to anyone else, but nothing you say or do should be taken seriously.

    I can’t believe it took me this long to get it, but finally it has dawned on me.

    My apologies for not catching on sooner. I doff my hat to you; you really do capture the sociopathic insane liberal, wracked with white guilt and a host of other psychological traumas perfectly.

    Well played, sir. Well played.

    J.

  21. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    J.G.Thayer: “OK, Strowbridge. Now I get it. I misunderstood you.
    You aren’t MAKING a joke, you ARE a joke.”

    I claim you guys should be turned into soylent green, but you would make bitter tasting food. … And you thought I was serious.

    I write, ‘Tee hee hee’ after saying you were fired from being a blogger, and you still think I’m making a serious claim.

    You are a fucking retard, Mr. Thayer, and that’s no joke.
