Dan: Does your man-gina burn when you itch it? Geez, you get waxed in a couple of posts and go Britney, doncha?
Oh, yeah, you’re Irish. I keep forgetting that. Well, now I understand why the Brits had such an easy go subjugating you Celts for the last 700 YEARS.
Did Mrs. Cassidy’s little boy get his feelings hurt? C’mon, Dan, employ a little of that vaunted subtlety and allow that towering intellect to destroy all before it. Lou Dobbs? Really? That the best you got?
Shake old James Joyce’s ghost and let loose with some blistering verse. For old time’s sake.[/quote]
Dude.
Ethnic derision and jokes about my dead mother?
For somebody who got another troll expelled from this blog for talking about certain things you dance close to the edge.
And a Jew joking about Irish persecution isn’t the set up to a joke.
Its a punchline.
Like “death panels” or “megalomania is about accretion of power”.
Seriously?
The humor here is that you complain about the decline of discourse.
And I don’t think you even get the irony.
Its just not fun when your discussions turn into Casca light.
For me its like that point a few years ago when I realized that Dan Brown had gone from being a Michael Crichton wannabe to better than him (mostly due to Crichton).
Your discourse has just gotten dull and cnn-like.
