i.e., whatever you may think of Michelle Malkin - she does have a wicked sense of humor - especially to post the "Best of the Year" hate mail she herself received in 2009: http://michellemalkin.com/2009/12/31/best-of-2009-hate-mail-edition/ The language is harsh and offensive, a warning - but I was laughing my ass off at this!  Good way to start the new year, laughing at the brain-dead level of others. (I love the one that traipses along its vile illiterate tirade with its hilarious asides and parentheticals, and ends, "Sent from my Verizon Wireless Blackberry" - ha!) | ||

Made me chuckle! It's interesting though that there's an accepted word - unAmerican - which is used a lot by those who consider themselves pro-American, but that is never changed and applied to other nations - unEnglish, unFrench, unAustralian etc.. | ||

You're right, Mick... I never really noticed that.... Must reveal how nationalism/patriotism has such vibrancy in the States, still. | ||

What it reveals is how much sustained violence against democracy America continues to need in order to suppress socialism. The country that produced Dashiell Hammett, John Steinbeck, Jack London, Woody Guthrie, Sidney Lumet, John Sayles, Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein has to jump through self-created hoops to deny that socialism is an integral part of American culture. | ||

"Leaving politics aside..." ...Nick Griffin's a sweetheart. I honestly didn't find anything funny at that URL. No wit on either side I'm afraid. | ||

Don't forget Vonnegut, Joel. Yes, I've read the planks of the Manifesto, and so many of them indeed are American mainstays, it's true.... Americans are decidedly unaware of how socialist it really is, and even more, wants to be (our attitudes towards health-care, social-security, and even this whole housing bubble, proves that). I found the link very funny, not because the crazy posters were trying to BE funny, but because their utter inability to articulate unmitigated and bigoted hatred revealed how just plain old stupid they are, and that's just, well... funny. | ||

You see, it just saddened me. I felt sorry for people who know more than they can express. Isn't that a serviceable definition for a mystic? I suppose that definition only works if you know more than society around you. | ||

Jesus, that's a terribly inarticulate post. I must be a mystic. | ||

I felt sorry for people who know more than they can express. I'm not exactly sure who you mean. If you mean the ones sending the email, I suppose one could feel sorry for them... I suppose everyone should have someone out there feeling sorry for them, even when they feel the need to express Do the world a wonderful favor and sew your cunt up with barbwire so that you can never ever reproduce anykind of whatever your species is. I'm quite happy to laugh at that person's ludicrous racism and hatred, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for him. | ||

I'm afraid it just makes me shake my head in despair - not laugh or feel sorry for any of them. The internet is a strange place, isn't it? On some news sites, you get remarkably offensive comments posted after a news story. I think the worst one I've seen was where someone had died in strange circumstances (can't remember the details now) and people were laughing about it! I was thinking, is it just that the only people who respond to those kinds of things are complete morons anyway, or does the internet itself turn some people into idiots? I wonder if people feel that there is some kind of anonymity on the internet which makes it possible to say things they just wouldn't say in a room full of people? Like I've said before, humans are very strange animals. | ||

The internet always brings out the worst in people, and never the best. It's the inverse of real-life, face-to-face encounters, I guess. I know it often brings my worst traits to the fore. And, yes, human beings are very strange. Makes me glad I'm not one of you.  | ||

>>I know it often brings my worst traits to the fore.<< I'd never have noticed, Gary. You seem like a real sweetie-pie to me.   | ||
