I just want it on the record that "Stu" is not me. Keep up the good work.

Poor guy never got it through his head that it wasn't his dissent that was the problem but rather his descent.

I just made that up!

Perhaps a blog-warming gift is in order.

A spell-checker comes to mind.

He could have at least sprung $60/yr for a domain and hosting plan and installed MoveableType.

You just exponentially increased that sick old fart's readership. There's your blog warming gift.

I'm glad he has his own blog, a more proper place to relive his sex with the bush twins fantasies to his friends, family and the like.

Bob:

He complained of being silenced and started his own forum which he must now populate with his great dissenting commentary or be seen as essentially a one-complaint hothead.

I have tied him to the wheel.

And that is no gift.

This is the best gift I've had since Algore danced "The Macarena." Did you notice that he called us, not me, "butt pirates"?

Hear and believe, Stu Pidasso: homosexuality is not contagious. You don't get it from toilet seats. Or from blogs. Or from knowing one. Or from reading one.

Oh the intolerant left. This is more evidence of my dictum that they do not exist alone.

This proves what I've been preaching all along. He would not insult me, here, with any derogatory term about being gay. But as soon as he gets to his own little place, he uses "butt pirates" as a term of derogation. To insult me here would tarnish his liberal values, insofar as he sees them. But when he's in his own turf, he calls us all butt pirates.

Anyone who will not join in his own little hysterical world of being alone, forcing his reality on others, must be ridiculed.

Very nice, Stu. Thanks.

One thing though. As much as you dislike me, I don't go off half-cocked.

Like, er, you.

Hot Dang !

Once again I have been included amongst august company !

But not only that but I get an AWARD and some PIE !

Does anyone know the time or place we are to be honored ! ... and will there be spicy rum ?

Stu Pidasso, LOL

Or, Stu Pitt

You must have missed it, somewhere in Stu Pitt's comments here he did refer to you or another one of us, I can't recall, as "butt pirate", which at the time I thought was over the line. Upon reviewing his blog, I think perhaps he doesn't intend it as a reference to ones sexuality, rather he just uses it for general name calling.

And that brings to mind this scene from "The Office".

Michael: No, that is the fun of this place. I call everybody "faggy." Why would anyone find that offensive?

Toby: Okay, I think Oscar would just like if you used "lame" or something like that.

Michael: That's what "faggy" means.

Toby: No, not really.

Toby: Apparently, you called Oscar faggy.

Michael: Yeah.

Toby: For liking the move "Shakespeare in Love" more than an action movie.

Michael: It wasn't just an action move, it was "Die Hard."

Toby: All, all right, Michael, but Oscar's really gay.

Michael: Exactly.

Toby: I mean for real.

Michael: Yeah, I know.

Toby: No, he's attracted to other men.

Michael: Okay, little too far. Crossed the line.

Toby: Okay, I am telling you, Oscar is an actual homosexual.

(Michael stares at Toby)

Toby: Yeah, he told me this morning. And obviously he hopes he can count on your discretion.

CUT TO INDUVIDUAL SHOT OF MICHAEL

Michael: I would've never called him that if I knew. You don't...you don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they're acting retarded. And I consider Oscar a friend.

bob, I'm not dismayed by "fudge packers" any more than I am by the various insults from bodily parts. But bear in mind that these people are those of the ilk that got a man fired for saying "niggardly." Also remember the house-cleaning at Texaco?

People who do not insist on moral behavior for themselves but hoot when Republicans are caught with their pants down need a dose of their own medicine.

And if they get people fired for utterly absurd things such as "niggardly" and Jesse Jackson's Texaco shake-down, gleaned by stealth, remember, then it is only mete, and lots of fun, to return the favor.
