Well, I have been using Google's blog link to create entries. Google Guys, if you're out there, you need to fix the formatting in that little bitty box. The two entries below this had to be corrected for serious formatting issues.
Anyway I'm having a grand old time back in my persona as Slippy The Toad. I tried, oh so hard, to give it up, but I just canna' do it! Today I got to read some horse-malarkey about the Joel Stein editorial in the LA times, and though I've made my statement on Plastic regarding this, I'm here to do it again:
Stein apparently was moved to state that he "didn't support the troops." Radicalstate.org and a bajillion other right-wing blowhards jumped on that to immediately expand the tiny li'l circle encompassing Joel Stein to include the other 57,999,999 other liberal-minded voters who didn't vote for Bush, wagging their Big Conservative Finger of Shame at us.
I've a different finger to wag back atcha, biatches! It's in the middle position of my hand. I Am Not Joel Stein. Do Not Ascribe His Positions To Me. Go Back To Humping Your Mom.
In addition to which, I was moved to question what support actually meant. Does support mean providing with adequate body armor? Does it mean not cutting healthcare funding? Does it mean having a coherent plan for success? Does it mean lying your ass off about the hopped-up crisis that got us into this mess in the first place? There are so many different shades of meaning to support. Confusing lack of support with indifference or hostility toward the leadership that got us into this catastrophe in the first place is disingenious and it's bullshit. Come back when you've got a concrete set of premises to argue about.
The wisdom of Joel Stein that gets us into this discussion in the first place, if you would like to read it.
