** BEHOLD ** ** BEHOLD ** ** BEHOLD **

The quintessential example of actually dying on stupid hills:

Sitzwar is the Moron who wouldn't admit the Dead Ducks in the Reflecting Pool were Mallards, not Muscovys.

After it was obvious to everyone.

Dying on Stupid hills is his Wheelhouse.

Lol.

The concern of the weak minded: Are the Dead Ducks in the Reflecting Pool Mallards or Muscovys ? ? ? ?

Lol.

#30 effette spews forth proof of the concern of the weak minded:

"Were they Mallards, Or Muscovys, O'Master of War?"

#36 effete continues to puke out nonsense like the species of a waterfowl is indicative of anything but a neurotic fixation on the useless: "Because is shows a Contempt for the Truth."

You read that right:

effete sets his truthiness meter to "What kind of a duck is this...", and then thinks the wrong answer is a perjury offense worthy of banishment and worse.

Meanwhile, the truth rings out, loud-and-clear ...

#37 Hard at work ...

#40 o do tell us, effete, who are you fighting off here, the Mallards or the Muscovys????

#42 Dying on Duck Hill?

Isn't that your job, effete?

The State of Israel has devoted not 1, not 2, but at least three (3) Israeli trolls the the Drudge Retort:

Recent third-party estimates put drudge.com at roughly:

~37,000 monthly visits (May 2026 estimate) according to Semrush.

Traffic is overwhelmingly direct traffic (people typing the address or using bookmarks), which is typical for legacy destination sites.

That is a very small share of the overall online news market.

For comparison, major news publishers receive tens or hundreds of millions of monthly visits, so drudge.com would generally be a fraction of 1% of total digital news traffic.

A wonderful recipe, I highly recommend:

Duck a L'Orange

2 fat ducks, like mallards or pintail
Salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cups duck stock or beef stock
4 sweet oranges
1 tablespoon arrowroot or corn starch
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
1/4 teaspoon orange bitters (optional)
2 tablespoons room temperature butter

Use a needle or sharp knife point to pierce the skin of the fat ducks all over, taking care to not pierce the meat itself; go in at an angle. This helps the fat render out of the bird. Salt the ducks well and preheat the oven to 325F.

Put the ducks in an ovenproof pan. I rest them on celery leaves to prop them above the level of the pan; this helps them crisp better. If you want, surround the duck with some root vegetables. Roast for 90 minutes.

Take the pan out and increase the heat to 425F. When it hits this temperature, put the birds back in the oven and roast until the skin is crispy, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, boil the vinegar and sugar in a small pot until it turns brown. Pour in the stock little by little, stirring all the while. Set aside.

Shave the peel off the oranges, grating some fine and keeping the peel of 2 oranges in large pieces. Juice 2 oranges. Cut segments from the other 2 oranges. Here is a tutorial on how to do that.

When the ducks are ready, remove them from the oven and let them rest on a cutting board.

Finish the sauce. Bring it to a simmer, then add about 1/2 cup of orange juice and the large bits of peel. Simmer 5 minutes. Whisk together a little of the sauce with the starch, and, when it's mixed well, stir it into the saucepot to thicken. Add the Grand Marnier and enough salt and orange bitters to taste. Swirl in the butter one tablespoon at a time.

To serve, carve the duck and arrange on plates. Give everyone some orange supremes and pour over the sauce. Garnish with the grated zest, and serve with good bread, mashed potatoes or celery root, or polenta.

#52 But, on the Drudge Retort?

Seriously, snoofy?

.

#52 Hey, snoofy, how about we discuss:

1. the 75,000 butchered Palestinians in Gaza,

2. the +1,000 Palestinians killed in the West Bank,

3. the trillion-dollar war against Iran being fought for their benefit, AIPAC/JACPAC, and

4. Israel's worldclass universal healthcare system that our taxpayer dollars fund every year.

As for me, our mutual friend, AmericanUnity and I have broken bread together and have spoken on the telephone, frequently.

But, sure, rumor away ...

#56 I regret that I have but one Funny Flag for this magnificent piece of satirical writing.

#61 snoofy says, "Hasbara bots exist."

Why, yes they do.

"...but only one makes you look like a Hasbara bot..."

Actually, this whole discussion about how overrun the Drudge Retort is with "Israeli bots" is on the exact same level as effete's use of duck identification as a test of veritas.

They're both absurd ideas.

#59 And until your arrival on the scene here on 2023/01/13, the total number of articles and/or posts about Israeli trolls and AIPAC was null.

But, amazingly, you arrive on the scene and now the Drudge Retort is overrun ("I PI'ed at least FOUR Israeli trolls on drudge.com") with talk about Israeli trolls and AIPAC.
