A reader from Oregon writes, “Help us, we who check your blog regularly!! Please add something — ANYTHING!!!! I forget about it being there and then get my special dose of heavy metal speed<\/strong><\/font><\/a> before I can mute the chaos! — Your loving fans in the thousands …”
\nOK, you asked for it. Here’s anything:
\nA reader from Yurp writes, “Ach!! The Blinding Titties!<\/strong><\/font><\/a> I’m wearing a string of garlic around my neck now which I clutch feverishly whenever they appear … and I’m stuffing chunks of garlic in my ears whenever I get hit by the Torture Hit Parade<\/strong><\/font><\/a> (Actually, I luuuuv it … Our kraut secretary of the interior<\/strong><\/font><\/a>, by the way, has “The History of Torture”<\/strong><\/font><\/a> on his coffee table…) …\u00a0Nader:<\/strong><\/font><\/a> Isn’t he, in effect, saying that those of his Florida voters who would have switched to Gore in the case of his abstinence would have given Al a fat lead? However, math is not my forte …\u00a0 P.S. The Ladykiller<\/strong><\/font><\/a> rides again…He is now wreaking havoc in Paris … Sauve qui peut …”
\nAnd another from the Southwest boondocks: “Have you seen this<\/strong><\/font><\/a>? The mind boggles at possibilities in the hands of neo-quizzers. ‘twould make water boarding obsolete, not ta mench human cattle prod ta line ’em up … Forget da arbeit macht frei<\/strong><\/font><\/a> signs.”
\nThen yesterday there was David Brooks to the grammar born:<\/strong><\/font><\/a> “I’m far from the biggest Hillary-lover on the planet, but her resilience and courage is moving.” Which brought this reply: “Brooks listens far too much to his hero, the President With His Head Up His Ass<\/strong><\/font><\/a>. They is fucking stupid.”
\nAnd finally, shades of James Gilray:<\/strong><\/font><\/a>
