09/27/05:GONNA TEAR HIM A NEW ONE:"...[T]hat's life. It happened to the Romans and the Mayans and the Sumerians and it's happening to us. In our society, as in those, the Grand Poobah gives the orders and the lackeys, minions, henchmen and stooges carry them out..." — Garrison Keillor
You blithering, soft-bellied, ostentatious fuck.I save language like that for people as despicable as you, Mr. Prairie Populist. You're a big fat dork in clown glasses and Birkenstocks who thinks he's a combination of Mark Twain and Jean Shepard—both of whom would certainly spit in your face if they ever had the displeasure of meeting you—but who, in actuality, is the Tokyo Rose of the leisure-culture appeaseniks.If you cared about anything more than yourself and the lucrative little dreamworld of long-dead, lutefisk-eating Scandinavian immigrants whose corpses you built a sniggering career on, you'd take a few of your millions and help the hurricane victims. Maybe they're just dying for a taste of your special brand of bucolic charm, now that they have nothing and you still have everything.Maybe you'd even get some decent raw material for a new story.Because God knows you need it. This Woebegone United States of America bit you've been doing for the past four years is getting old.Also, I'm curious: Which of your pejoratives refer to our soldiers? Are they "lackeys," "minions," "henchmen," or "stooges"? I'm real, real curious to hear you tell.And by the way: George W. Bush is not the "Grand Poobah," although you and your fellow residents of Alpaca-Sweater-w/-Moose-Motif KeillorWorld appear not to have figured that out. Either deal with the fact that he is the democratically-elected President of the United States, or shut the fuck up already.Posted by Alois on
