Homofruits pitchfork and torch Palin again

But Tecs is ok with all of this. Hey, let the boys play like Ivan the Terrible used to do with the gentry.

Tecumseh said...: My beef is that she never does anything besides getting into stooopid arguments with the pinktards, or blabber about her family. I hate to break your heart, Mr Rot, but alas, she's not ready for prime time...; 2/15/2009 3:31 PM

Mr roT said...: She probably doesn't think Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was written by Shakespeare.; 2/15/2009 4:36 PM
Tecumseh said...: C'mon, Mr Rot, why obsess over this Palin woman? She's yesterday news, and she has 0 input on what's going on in the here and now. If and when she has something to say, I'll listen -- in the meantime, I'll just tune out of her never-ending yet meaningless soap opera.; 2/15/2009 5:42 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: she was hot, though. i'll miss that rack.; 2/15/2009 8:12 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: Are you suggesting she thinks about Shakespeare, or books in general? Unless of course she's trying to have books purged and banned from a library. There are far more intelligent women in the Republican party, but it's those that wildly support Palin who, in the end, are going to turn the GOP into an intellectual wasteland. Here's to Hitchens. Keep going with your trajectory though. I can now see Mongolia and Iceland from Alaska.; 2/16/2009 12:52 PM

My Frontier Thesis said...: Wow, that one got Arsemaven going. Listen, I completely understand and unconditionally admit (and admitted, not just on this blog, but on the public Bismarck Tribune website) that I hadn't had a pot of coffee in those early morning hours when I heard the denizens of Beulah had banned Brendt's book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and in my non-caffeinated fog I misplaced it as Shakespeare's "Midsummer's Night's Dream." You see, Arsemaven, I fess up and admit ignorance rather than trying to cover it up. Maybe it would be healthy for D.C., Evangelicals, and academics to embrace this? Maybe not — the Mencken in me says that if we admitted our mistakes, how would our enemies ever be able to respect and fear us? But I gladly admit when I'm wrong, which I did about an hour later (after the coffee kicked in and I realized my blunder). I admit I'm wrong when I'm wrong. You? Well, you'll have to answer that for yourself. I'm backing out of this petty squabble: too much of it in academia already. As for Hitch, he's always been best at defending himself. It'd be fun to see you go podium-to-podium with him.

Didn't know Palin was such a soft spot with you. Maybe I should engage in a bit more self-reflexivity as to why she so irritates me.

And here's another idea: perhaps we're in different realms, aka, different social contexts. I'm surrounded by religious types who don't read the bible (let alone read), and a university on the edge of town that entertained the idea of banning Carl Sagan's, The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. Here me out: on the other hand you might be getting roughed over or at least irritated by Houston or Texas hippies? I can't say. Pure hypothesis.

In the meantime, back to my silly provincialism... Whoops: there's Palin! I'm gonna go say hi to her.; 2/16/2009 9:48 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: Note: If you click on the following link and scroll down through the blogs, you'll see my Shakespeare blunder, and confession once I realized it. I posted under the pseudonym "Aaron." Click here.; 2/16/2009 9:54 PM
