A Rake’s Progress, Plate 8
‘The rake ends his life in Bedlam’
Willliam Hogarth (1697-1764)
As we know, Chuckie ‘Icarus’ Johnson (obscure jazz guitarist and all ’round husky blogger) decided to libel one of our very own, and favorites Buzzsawmonkey last night. Nice work chuckie, you are picking on a cyber identity that exists in one blog. Wooohoooo! youdaman…not. Btw, chuckie, Daedalus say hi!
Well, for our enjoyment, lets have some fun with LGF. Above is William Hogarth’s ‘The Rake Ends His Life in Bedlam’.
A Rake’s Progress by William Hogarth, Plate 8: “A Rake’s Progress” ends in the famous madhouse, Bethlehem Hospital (Bedlam). Chained, half-naked, and in great anguish is our final view of Tom Rakewell. Faithful to the end, Sarah Young attempts to give him whatever comfort she can. One keeper attends to Tom’s chains while another molests Sarah.
This particular image is among Hogarth’s greatest and most damning indictments of society. Its cast of tormented characters points to the many causes of madness. Behind Tom and Sarah, science has claimed two victims. One studies the stars through a useless role or tube of paper, while another scribbles geometric calculations on the wall. Religion, too, has led to madness. In the cell to the left, a tormented, half-animal, soul worships his cross. To the extreme right a delusional man believes he is the Pope. Beside him a musician madly plays his violin with a stick. On the steps a love lost man has carved the initials of his obsession (‘Charming Betty Careless’, who was a famous prostitute of the day) on the banister. Rounding out this horrific scene is a mad tailor and, in cell 55, a naked delusional King.
Most disturbing, however, are the two, pretty aristocratic ladies who have come to view the suffering of the insane as a form of entertainment. Throughout this entire, masterful set, Hogarth has shown us the dangers of a morally bankrupt society.
Almost thirty years (1763) after completing A Rake’s Progress, Hogarth returned to this final plate and made one significant addition. On the wall he etched an image of a halfpenny portraying Britannia with her hair wildly flying behind her. Within the lower margin he also wrote, “Retouch’d by the Author, 1763.” In the last year of his life, Hogarth clearly felt that Britain and its ruling classes had not improved.
A Rake’s Progress was first published by William Hogarth in 1735. Created several years after A Harlot’s Progress, it chronicles many of the same vices and follies. But whereas Moll, the heroine of the earlier set, is a victim of society, the young, aristocratic ‘hero’, of A Rake’s Progress, Tom Rakewell, is a victim of himself. In this series, Hogarth brilliantly satirizes the often useless and destructive character of Britain’s ruling classes.
This original engraving was both designed and engraved by William Hogarth and published by William Heath in 1822.
There is the background…SO…just for fun, lets pick out which of our favorite LGF characters are in the above plate. Be sure to explain why!
and its an open thread, the bar is also open!
h/t vagabond trader for reminding me of Hogarth’s work on Bedlam Mental Hospital
Buzzsawmonkey has a reply as well”:
The Unicorn
—apologies to Shel Silverstein and the Irish Rovers
A long time ago, when Johnson was lean,
He had a lot of posters on a site called “Green”
The foibles of the day they would discuss with scorn
And none of them believed in silly unicorns.
There were some believing Christians, atheists too
Some gun nuts and some poets, and a mix of Jews
Conservatives and liberals, but sure as you’re born
Not one of them believed in silly unicorns.
Then Johnson found a weasel with fur soft and warm
Who said, “Let me come in and play, too–what could be the harm?”
He forgot that rabid animals will scratch and bite
And it went for everyone in sight.
It started biting believing Christians, atheists too
Some gun nuts and some poets, and a mix of Jews
Conservatives and liberals, but it said, “For fear of horns,
One thing that I will never bite is unicorns.”
Johnson started eating Cheetos, potato chips too,
And as his waist expanded, paranoia grew—
He started seeing enemies, his mind grew sick
And he got himself a banning stick.
He started banning believing Christians, atheists too
Some gun nuts and some poets, and a mix of Jews
Conservatives and liberals, and one fine morn
He even started to believe in unicorns.
One who goes seeking enemies is quite a dope
‘Cause quickly you’re a-sliding down a slippery slope
Johnson decided he’d make his site globally warm
For anyone who won’t believe in unicorns.
So the believing Christians, atheists too
Some gun nuts and some poets, and a mix of Jews
Conservatives and liberals decided, best be gone
Rather than be forced to believe in unicorns.
Johnson stands the solid emperor of his own site
And the weasel capers ’round his feet both day and night
The folks who’ve turned their backs on him view him with scorn
And he’s butthurt ’cause he’s sitting on a unicorn.
Yes, the believing Christians, atheists too
Some gun nuts and some poets, and a mix of Jews
Conservatives and liberals are all ignorin’
The idiot who now believes in unicorns.
Well, I am glad I did not log off yet.
Ah man. Buzz, you misogynistic lunatic, you.
That’s
QueegChunky! The geometric logic he used to prove the existence of the second key.Good job buzz. Welcome to the club where Foster has perused the comments of those he hopes to scorn and found a comment to make him look like he did the right thing by showing us the 1.0 back door. He did this to me more than once.
Buzz, that was fantastic.
Now would someone clue me in about what Cankles said about Buzz?
@ Formercorpsman:
i thought buzz needed his say right out front on a post…its the nco in me, i dont like my guys getting messed with
It helps of you mount the part between the pairs of legs. Mounting the head is…well…teabagging.
It makes him look like a desperate, vengeful and pitiful man. I don;t know what he means to gain by these kinds of spiteful attacks other than revealing himself as a total nutjob.
The Boys of Bedlam, Steeleye Span
@ DEZ:
He had a thread yesterday, essentially dedicated to how he has proof Buzz is stalking him to other sites he now posts at.
The guy is such a panty-waist.
Is that king charles in the closet. lol
I think that Ludwig Von Quackquack is the guy holding the thing to his eye.
I nominate Killgore for the guy who thinks he’s Pope!
Is that Irish Rose and Sharmuta going out the door?
That “Unicorn” is truly first rate Buzzsawmonkey songsmithing.
Being a half-assed guitarist myself, I could never be the sycophant that LGF desires.
Such conformity and bludgeoning bullying go had against my grain.
Playing people like puppets or allowing yourself to be so strung, gives me the creeps.
Hi Song and dance man, you’re right, a favor he did us to ban from such madness.
What about the doggie ?
@ Formercorpsman:
He also claimed Buzz is sending him hate emails. I call BS.
Btw the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth, London is on the site of what was Bedlam Asylum.
What ever happened to Salmantis? Did he disappear once the Darwinist threads dried up?
@ vagabond trader:
oh, and hat tip to VT…i had forgetoen about the works by hogarth, she brought the bedalm works up i a thread some weeks ago…
Jimmah-Ice – the aristocratic ladies amusing themselves.
kkkkk trout- the guy who thinks he is Pope.
Naked delusional king….. lol,guess who
iceweasel and Jimmah are on the left.
Buzz, have you earned your death threat medal yet? I’ve got mine, and my sockpuppet ribbon. Now I just need a pair of outing clusters.

He said the same about me. It wasn’t long ago he claimed I sent him ‘creepy’ emails after my banning. A total lie from Foster. But that is par for him.

Buzz is a good man. I feel comfortable saying this for numerous reasons.
Quite frankly, Buzz rarely uses vulgarity, posts with consideration, and I have never seen him go out of his way to demean anyone.
I was around when the last few folks were getting their marching orders over there. I assume I was in that group too.
The beautiful irony in all of this, is that Charles tries to bleed supposed intellectual honesty.
Good lord, he about wet himself when Kos mentioned him, Obviously can’t remember Andrew Sullivan’s insane pregnancy rants, and just overlook’s Cato’s own Palinistic misogynistic invective.
He is quickly approaching 33&1/3 level of the Order of the Unicorn.

He has no answer to that question or for most of the people he banned. He did ig because he could, he is on a power trip, and wants to purge any conservatives that have enough intellectual integrity to question him on his leftist dogma.

thanks.
@ wolfie:
Bedlam has always been a fave word.
I think I see Peter Sinclair in the back, conducting climate research.
@ coldwarrior:
Cato is standing on the steps wearing a pointy hat. Charles is the Rake and that is Sharmuta holding his arm.

He is a tool. The radio interview with Colmes proved that. They have a delay button, and a call screener. It was fluff. This is the same guy who put the Rueuters counter on his site.
Like I posted before, he has become what Kos was on his site 4-5 years ago.
Why, oh why, didn’t Hogarth include a dog in the picture?
IceW and jimmah are the watchers. They laugh and appear delighted by agitated the state of the inhabitants.
@ coldwarrior:
The one who thinks he is the Pope is definitely Walter. He’s such an athiest theologian.
@ Speranza:
What is really strange – and buzz mentioned it last night – that of the thousands of comments buzz posted Foster found one post to use against him. For me it was 30k and in the same manner he found one.
One.
It’s not the comments that are the real story, it’s Foster’s obsession where he would pour over 30,000 comments, in my case, to find one that he found to be used as fodder to load his hate cannon.
I have written about this before and truly believe he does this in attempt to denigrate former posters more popular than he. He wants to be the brightest bulb in the room, and nowadays, after banning all the people that are smarter than him, he just might now be that one. And that is a sad state of affair for a blog that used to be filled with a grand assortment of really sharp minds.
Btw, that video of his interview is crying out for some creative re-dubbing. I wish I had the computer skilz.

@ song_and_dance_man:
Hey cuz. That is truly bizarre behavior on his part. Wonder if he jobbed out the 30K comments to his trusted flunkies.Go forth and find me dirt.There is a disturbing pathology at work here.
Another thing that was clear, was how the usual suspects would drop in on a dead thread in the morning, usually when Avanti would make a generalized & bombastic claim.
A few of us would ask him to back himself up, and you would then have Kilgore start posting the stupid links with the titles of “oh neos” and shit like that.
Truth be told, I disagreed with Avanti, but there were times when I stood up for him when other people would make claims about his service. I could be wrong, but I think one might have been albusteve, (who I also got along with pretty well) but I could be remembering that individual wrong as well too.
Bottom line, the guy has painted himself into a corner. He is a knucklehead.
Speaking of assylums. They climatati are done with methane. Now the greenhouse panic gas de jure is – not kidding – laughing gas.
@ coldwarrior:
Poor Haiku, incarcerated with his mad master.
@ Formercorpsman:
Gordon, in his chronicles of the banned, provided proof that I never emailed Foster. From the mouth of Charles himself. Charles wrote, after BBEV asked if I might be reinstated, that I had the chance if only I had contacted him and admitted I had not done so.
So there you go Charles, you consummate liar.
AFAIK, I haven’t been accused of writing any threatening emails {sniff…pout…}. Always a stalker, never one of the uberstalkers. Story of my life.
i intend on labeling the characters hogarth’s plate and having more fun with it…
@ song_and_dance_man:
If true he would have published them as he did numerous times before with other “hatemails” he had received.

I’m not only glad I’m gone from there, I am ashamed that I was ever associated with, let alone promoting, LGF.

Well you know, as well as I, there have been some other folks from way back who made the claim that posts were tampered with.
I wish I could have gotten a screen shot, but I remember seeing a post by Yertle himself, and when I hit new comments button, it was gone.
The guy has lost credibility, he knows he lost his credibility, he lies, and is dishonest. It is sad it went this way, but so is life. He has gone out of his way to really slime quite a few people. Of course people are critical of him, he puts himself out there.
Typical passive – aggressive belly aching on his end.

And it was a pretty pathetic one to make a case against you, at that. It was a personal, poetic, and mystical reflection and there was nothing wrong with it. Nothing. Not one ounce of ugly in it.
@ song_and_dance_man:
Exactly.
@ Formercorpsman:
I was banned for calling the sycophants, well, kiss-butts (I didn’t even swear!) for updinging Charles for saying he was on hold with Alan Colmes. That and some prior discussions about AGW that he didn’t like. Regardless, no reason given and all posts were deleted.
You are correct: he has no credibility and he will not debate anyone if he feels there is a chance he’ll lose. When you start to believe your own press clippings, it is time to hang up the cleats.
@ Speranza:
That one just positively confuses me. We’re in different hemispheres. Charles knows this. He’s not all the hot shit he thinks he is as a programmer, but he can surely trace an IP. It is such a blatant, useless lie that is is pathological. Bedlam, indeed.
ROFLMAO Buzz that’s first class
Now all we need to go with this is a picture of butthurt Chunky mounting the front end of an unicorn.
Haky laying on the floor. Wonder what procedure he had done to have his leg and side shaved.
Yes Cankles, your hated, not simply loathed or pitied.
People have no love for fat lazy sloths.
You have put your bloated anemic face on the internet in an effort to seek admiration, only you proved your as ugly on the outside as in.
Buzz, you are a wit and a wonder; which is why you get under Charles Johnson’s skin. Your verbal rapier thrusts meet their target every time you focus on him. Heh. It pisses him off, obviously. Actually, sends him ballistic. Keep up the good work!

Laughing stock. Even the lefties are laughing at him. Hell, I hate the NYT, but they coined some truly funny phrases.
It is comical. Poor Charlie.
Another pic of Haku.
He had an intellegent following, and the blogworld by the tail, and he chose to throw it away with both hands. I think that he saw that there was some sort of “Liberal Revolution” underway and chose to get on board.
He chose poorly, and will reap the whirlwind.
His site is now populated by fawning sycophants and run by a dead-eyed, emotionless dictator who rules over a rapidly decaying empire.
He made his hell, let him live in it.

I should have jumped ship long before I did…back when he started attacking Pam and Robert Spencer over the “Flemish Menace” as RSM so amusingly refers to it. It was when he went after Andrew Bostom that I realized he had become totally unhinged…claiming Bostom was sending him “hate mail” which he refused to show …Bostom then published the emails he had sent to Chuckles on his site…snarky, yes, sarcastic, yes, but “hate mail”?

Just had to see that again.
I have concluded that once he started to purge the faithful and truly conservative from his site he found others that agreed with him. That gave him the impetus to move forward with his break from the right. Which was, in essence, ridding his blog of those with whom he always disagreed with. But, as it now appears, he used us to make his blog what it became, then turned his back on the very ones that made his site popular.

@ wolfie:
Had he given me the opportunity I would have explained the post. But of course there was no chance for that since he used it as a means to get back at me. And what was the reason for his attack? I suggested on Jihad Watch he was going insane. And that accusation was not a stretch after witnessing what came after. I think my comment at JW has found credence among many after seeing his behavior post that comment. It really lit him up and sent him over the top in my case.
He’s back to his climate jihad. This time he’s quoting some dingaling who’s argument boils down to “I know you are, but what am I?”.
Because, y’know, actually making any kind of argument yourself would, y’know, mean you actually have to know, y’know, shiite from kiwi.

Sorry for this, but I can’t get this idea out of my melon (head for non-Marines/hockey players).
While it is a fun academic exercise to try and name who is figuratively represented in this piece to those we know and loathe at the other place. I can’t think of this as a very fair exercise. Certainly the individuals in the image can be closely linked to the foul personalities at 1.0, there is still an issue with the way the folks are gathered together.
Not too many of the folks would voluntarily enroll themselves in an asylum, of course a few of them ought to consider it. No, to me; I am torn between some picture of Hell where personal choice leads to the torture their souls receive, not someplace where the family or society incarcerated the unique characters portrayed.
Perhaps a nice image of Jonestown, or that weird cult that put on their black tennis shoes and tried to catch the comet to the spacecraft is more apropos of what remains of the influential LGF.
Semi-smart and independent choices to belong to a group that is driving itself over the edge as the cult leader and his key minions drive the rest to the bowl of koolaid. Just my opinion and not meant to grab the arm on the fun meter and try to pull it back to level.

I am sure that we could find some more appropriate vehicle to drive the humor. The long mile walk upstairs regarding Dark F-up was pretty damn funny.
The few times I have spent anytime looking at anything from there (normally tipped here or at Ace), I am astonished by the discourse that occurs. While I know none of them personally, I haven’t found one commenter there I would piss on if they were on fire. Maybe we need to be more inclusive of the TRANZI’s. Not just chucky’s place, but start targeting the other progressive blogs too. I understand familiarity breeds contempt, but the blogs we aren’t as familiar with deserve contempt too.

Hah! I’m so blind now, without my glasses. It’s getting sad.
I have glasses for reading, which don’t work for the computer. I have prescription sunglasses for driving, which are too dark for night-time. I have contacts, that I am too daft to use properly, and which bug my eyes until I take them out after a couple of hours.
I need help with “the vision-thing,” as someone once said. I think it was Dubya, and I think he was talking about something else.
Anyways, that’s Cato’s put-upon service dog, in the picture.
Save him!
As for Walter:
He was one of the guys Over There whom I viewed as My Kind Of Annoying. Of the eight comments he cited as upsetting him, I am aligned with #3. I don’t recall being the one who said those exact words; but if Walter’s reading this, he can assume that I feel the same way as #3. On the other side of the coin: #5 and #6 were needlessly insulting, and not Blogmocracy’s finest comments. As to the other five on his list: that is between those commenters, Walter, and Charles.
I agree with Walter that lifting his whole essay without his permission was legally questionable. It should have been summarised.

1) Walter may be right on this issue, but he is still an ass.
2) I think the worse part about it was the amount of groveling and sniveling he had to do to even be allowed to post it in the comments.
3) Chen–I agree. I kinda feel sorry for Walter. He seems a thoughtful guy even if he can be a jerk sometimes. I used to laugh at some of his comments because he seems real–not a cardboard cutout like a few posters over there.
4) i have no respect or sympathy for anyone still over there.
5) Portly Playwright vs Chubby Jazz artist!
6) what is walter planning on doing with the 250 LGF calendars that he ordered?
7) As for Walter, it’s pretty obvious that he thinks AGW is bs, but he’s too afraid to just say so.
Yeah Walter is scared of a Jazz Artist.
This is classic! I left that place when they defended the craptastic memo by the DHS, and the idiotic comments regarding those potentially violent RW terrorists started getting back from Iraq and Afghanistan and turned to blowing up busses, pizza joints, and other viable “targets” because we were disappointed that we have a black president. The chorus of jackasses left me stunned. I should be surveilled by my government, because I am probably violently dangerous to the society and her guiding document I swore to defend? I was suprised that nobody suggested that I should be placed in some type of confinement to ensure that the dreaded neo-nazi’s didn’t recruit me before I could be deprogrammed.
So let’s compare the insults…Walter is angry that some posters would call him, what he rightfully deserves to be called; an asshole.
I was angry that I was labeled a potential murderer. Sorry Walter, it is a good thing you have a job in makebelieve, you wouldn’t last five minutes in the real world.

That was the real deal – some shmuck in a university, teaching kids with my stuff, passing it on as his own. And I’ve seen “poor footnoting” happen to other writers I admire.

After typing, I bravely risked the Taiwanese Immigration Authorities to go sip on a couple Tsingtao’s at a little pub a few blocks from my hotel. I was only allowed to leave the airport for the purpose of sleeping at the hotel. On the door of the hotel, my reservation sheet, and my immigration form was an order to stay in the hotel, as I really wasn’t cleared to be in Taiwan. But I did want some beer. Now, my angst is I don’t want to pack, and my normal golf partners are either in Korea or the Philippines…and me stuck on an absolutely gorgeous Okinawan day.

Mr. Politeness rides again.
Charles left his basement drunk one night, slid into bed beside his un-Mata Hari like companion, and fell into a deep slumber.
He awoke before the Pearly Gates , where St. Peter said, ‘You died in your sleep, Charles.’
Charles was stunned. ‘I’m dead? No, I can’t be! I’ve got too much to live for. Send me back!’
St. Peter said, ‘I’m sorry, but there’s only one way you can go back, and that is as a chicken.’
Charles was devastated, but begged St. Peter to send him to a farm near his home….
The next thing he knew, he was covered with feathers, clucking and pecking the ground.
A rooster strolled past. ‘So, you’re the new hen, huh? How’s your first day here?’
‘Not bad,’ replied Charles the hen, ‘but I have this strange feeling inside. Like I’m gonna explode!’
‘You’re ovulating,’ explained the rooster. ‘Don’t tell me you’ve never laid an egg before? ‘
‘Never,’ said Charles.
‘Well, just relax and let it happen,’ says the rooster. ‘It’s no big deal.’
He did, and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg.
He was overcome with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon laid another egg — his joy was overwhelming.
As he was about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head, and heard…..
“CHARLES, wake up! You crapped the bed again!”

Buzzsawmonkey has more talent in the crap he/she took this morning than in the entire cast of sycophants commenting over at the 1.0
Icarus is a cut and paste man. He doesn’t have any creative talent. Even his guitar licks were written for him by somebody else. He attached himself to clever people like Zombie and Iowahawk, and claimed he was helping them. To the contrary, he used them to make his blog appear clever.
He’s banned every single creative, funny, interesting person.
And what is Icarus left with at his bog ( pun intended)
Wits like Iceweasel who uses the word butthurt and thinks she’s clever.
You’re not clever, honey, just annoying.
Intellectuals like Walter E Newton, who is famous for being the best floor mopper in his theatre.
Great minds like cato the elder who spends his days writing letters to the editor about his parking that wasn’t picked up by the city and how he’s so much smarter than Trig Palin.
Genuises like kkkilgore trout who discuss the finer points of jerking off.
Brave souls like dork falcon who hides in his parent’s basement.
On their best day, they stink on ice!
LGF is a shell of its former self because it lost exactly what made it unique – a diversity of opinion where one could express their thoughts without fear or much in censorship. Sure, some of it was over the top for effect (mine included), but it was never a threat to the owner or anyone else. The flame wars were fun until Charles started taking sides and punishing those he didn’t agree with. And with that, LGF as gone.
LGF fragmented into groups of common thought and the magic that made LGF won’t easily be recaptured.
And the reason that Buzzsaw garners special disdain from Charles is because he was one of the unique talents that any blog would treasure. The shriller Charles gets about a former user, rest assured the more Charles knows what he lost.
I am, like Doppelganger, very late to the thread, but I bring momentous news ! I have been banned at LGF ! I don’t know why, other than the fact that I occasionally post here, at Ace’s joint and JWF.

2) Nor have I posted responses to anything he has written on any blog not his own where he might have written something. I have neither time to do so nor interest in doing so.
3) I do not use other posting names or screen nics. I have never had a sockpuppet, on Yertle’s site or any other.
4) It is ironic that the Man Who Took Down Dan Rather is expending such energy to try and stomp a wandering balladeer who has, at present, no blog of his own—or even a show on Fox.
5) However, since Mad King Yertle’s attacks on Glenn Beck have, if anything, improved Beck’s viewership, I look forward with anticipation to the prospect of his attacks aiding me in becoming a media star.
Once again, thanks to everyone for their kind words.

You sure rock Buzz!
I have rarely if ever met a finer character than you online.
When did I miss the Sharmuta banning? Damn. It’s getting tough now. Chuckles is running out of sycophants.
