UPDATE: It is here!
Coming later tonight:
People better engage my serious arguments seriously or I’m going to call them names.
… OK, when I get out of work today. Promise.

Never before have crappy old blog posts been hurriedly stapled together into an 80-page “book” with such thoughtfulness, or such care

I haven’t waited for something with this much anticipation since my senior prom. They, uh, felt like bags of sand, by the way.
January 22, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Whoo-hoo! I asked for this only a couple of days ago, and now I’m going to receive!!
January 22, 2008 at 7:30 pm
I just had to laugh when I saw this:
Wow. If ever there was someone who should stay the hell away from whale metaphors, it’s Jonah.
January 22, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Yes!!!!
January 22, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Jonah’s about five years too late to the Conservative Contrarian party. Coulter and D’Souza (translation: “the souza”) beat him to it.

Never before have I been so willing to pay good money for something available on the internet for free. Name your price, Eds.; I for one would be proud to have an authentic Keyboard Kommandos volume in my bathroom.

This is terrific news! I think I’ll purchase securities tomorrow!
January 22, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Never in my life have I seen a litany of more internalized cliches. Tsk! Do not bang your spoon at me!
January 22, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Golly, with this new tax rebate and desperate reduction in short term rates, I feel flush enough to buy anything.
January 22, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Uh, not that I like the guy, or take his arguments seriously or any of that stuff, but if you actually go read (OK, skim) Jonah’s entire post (follow the link in Neiwart’s post, The Poor Man’s Spam Filter gobbles up any comment with links in it), and not just the brief (yes, brief) quote Dave’s got on his blog, then you’ll realize that the Goldberg is, in fact, engaging Neiwart’s arguments, after a fashion, and not just calling him names.
Warning: Jonah’s post is only for those who can stand to wade through that point-by-point-rebuttal format so popular on the internets. “Fisting,” or something, the kids call it.
Oh, and this lapel-clutching sneering about name-calling? It’s a bit rich coming from The Editors to begin with, don’t you think?
Does anyone else remember when The Editors used to make some cogent points of their own, in amongst the fat jokes, instead of just high-fiving another blogger and calling it a day?
heh, indeed.
January 22, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Fantastic. But I can’t help feeling like you need a new episode to put the capstone on the endeavor as well as to commemorate the magnitude of Jonah’s achievement.
January 22, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Already booked on the daily show I bet.
January 23, 2008 at 1:04 am
Cackling with glee…
January 23, 2008 at 3:51 am
I second lemuel at #6. Have you ever considered putting out a bound volume of your comix?
January 23, 2008 at 6:13 am
Never in my life, indeed.
Kan’t wait!

This book will rival “The Deathly Hallows” in terms of pre-release excitement and anticipation. At least among the couple hundred of us who worship at the feet of The Editors. Worship, I say!
By the way, I think the foreward should be by Ronald Reagan.
January 23, 2008 at 7:36 am
Staples, too? Oh, this must be Heaven!
January 23, 2008 at 10:49 am
I concur with all the folks who would buy this fine piece of work. Lulu.com, maybe? Let us know, and put a picture or two of Noodles in there someplace.
January 23, 2008 at 12:18 pm
It’s like Christmas and the fourth of July rolled all together. Without the sober relatives, of course.
January 23, 2008 at 12:33 pm
in celebration I shall commence drinking tequila asap.
January 23, 2008 at 1:20 pm
For reals? Keyboard Kommando Comix the book? Yeah, I’d buy that. Guaranteed collectors item.
January 23, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Well, I’m only buying one book called Liberal Fascismthis year, and it’s going to be Liberal Fascism!
January 23, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Never mind the book: Po Mans is back! I’d stopped checking in, then this whim of extreme boredom grasped me by the cuticles and… never mind that The Poor Man is back: Jonah the Whale, Keyboard Kommandos, and the very sand bags of making prom time!
Whew. And “fisting” with fat jokes? Oh my, oh my. I think we need scholarly critiques by fractal LOL cats with Hawking voiceovers. I haven’t been so excited since Hilary showed cleavage.
January 23, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Yeah, well I been kicked out of netter places than this before.
Where yez been?
And what’s with the miracle?
Same day I discover Po Mans’s back, I discover Jonah G. Whale’s book is out and it’s been edited by the Keyboard Kommandos into user-friendly, color-coded, lookitdisstupidshitandlaugh Cliff Notes!
I’m getting old; my heart can’t take shit like this; it’s not like I missed you, but…. hey? Where yez going?
Ok,OK, we missed yez dearly, precious.
January 23, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Yeah, well I been kicked out of better places than this before.
Where yez been?
And what’sious. with the miracle?
Same day I discover Po Mans’s back, I discover Jonah G. Whale’s book is out and it’s been edited by the Keyboard Kommandos into user-friendly, color-coded, lookitdisstupidshitandlaugh Cliff Notes!

I just bought a non-dead-tree copy. Hilarious! Great to have all the Keyboard Kommandos in one place, and you also get the Mark Foley IM post, Poker With Cheney, etc. Best $5 I ever spent.
Bra-fucking-vo, The Editors.
January 23, 2008 at 8:14 pm
I bought the tree-killer variety, so I have to wait. I wish I were a patient person.
January 23, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Stop it. You’re rocking to hard.
January 23, 2008 at 8:47 pm
my monkey is so happy it is shitting in its own mouth.
and that’s pretty fucking happy i might add.
i’m doubling down–online copy AND dead tree style. eat it, bitchez.
January 23, 2008 at 10:44 pm
What happnd? Did we already kill the hamster?
January 23, 2008 at 11:30 pm
My monkey is very hard to impress. He merely farted in his own mouth.
I laughed so hard, the cat got scared and ran away. She is still hiding under the bed.
I blame Jimmy Carter, History’s Greatest Monster.
January 24, 2008 at 1:03 am
I wish I could buy the non-tree version and get the tree version. I mean the other way, but I don’t want to retype.
January 24, 2008 at 1:15 am
Finally, an elegant counter-treatise to this libertarian-socialism we’ve been hearing so much about these days.
What… Liberal fascism? Who are you people?
January 24, 2008 at 1:24 am
OK, bought it choads. Airwolf says he won’t shoot my ass with missiles now.
God damn I forgot about the parchment paladins. You are KILLING me way more than Airwolf ever could.
January 24, 2008 at 1:25 am
tigrismus, i hate you forever because you never listened to our jonah goldberg attack rap. and that was free.
January 24, 2008 at 1:45 am
[...] Or do I? Bought it, and so should you. Consider it an easy way to toss the Editors a few measly dollars or so. Remind yourself of the parchment paladins. Some good stuff, good memories. No, Airworlf doesn’t have a missile launcher pointed at my sexy chex mix, why do you ask? [...]
January 24, 2008 at 6:23 am
I gotta pay for it now when you wuz givin’ it away for free?!!
Will be getting my copy very, very soon.
January 24, 2008 at 8:07 am
I listened to enough of it to remind myself that I hate rap, even AWESOME RAP THAT TOTALLY RIPS JONAH A NEW BLOWHOLE. Also, though I know there was a surfeit of Jonah/new blowhole material, mayhap 3 hours was a skosh long…
January 24, 2008 at 12:08 pm
This is so worth re-establishing my paypal account. and every penny.
January 24, 2008 at 12:44 pm
You are forgiven.*

Hey, where’s Randy Moss? This blog has really gone to shit.
January 24, 2008 at 1:56 pm
When will the translation into Canadian be available?

I went to my doctor and told him “my penis is burning.” He said, “That means somebody is talking about it.” (Garry Shandling) :D
