Sound the alarm!
The 42d Bonfire of the Vanities is hosted by Josh Cohen, who does such a great job I can't wait to spoil some of it for you. (By the way, Josh gave me a new idea for literary success.) But I did a bit of a doubletake when I saw the date of April 19 accompanied by a huge fire, because over the years I have come to associate that date with this fire: (It would have been in bad taste to post the above at a blog roast post, unless you have a really twisted sense of humor.) Josh begins by defending himself for the crime of not liking Sean Hannity. While I sort of posted about Sean Hannity not long ago, I don't know enough about him to state whether I like him or not (although I greatly admire him for daring to take John Dean to task for his outrageous falsehoods). But there is no rule that you have to like someone just because someone else says you should. I, for example, do not like Bill O'Reilly, and I have explained why in several posts. Nor do I especially care for Rush Limbaugh, but I will defend him on the drug issue to the bitter end as a victim of the drug laws. Josh put it quite well when he said, Every conservative has something the other conservatives dislike about him/her, just like every liberal, moderate, centrist, or Libertarian. And there's something in every opponent you can agree with.Anyone who can't see the logic in that had best lock his doors, and never leave home, because it's a cruel world out there. But even Sean Hannity had to move over for more important things! Such as: Cruel torture: a teacher in britain was arrested. on him they found a pencil, eraser, ruler, protractor and compass. They said he was part of the Al Gebra network, and that he had weapons of math instruction! Susie's display of dereliction of duty: she screwed up her template and took a nap. Useful Fools has a great photo of a useless pinhead. On the Fritz made me think of African American widowperson arachnids even though it wasn't his entry. Fried Man talks about fashionism. (A theme echoed by Kevin's post on what not to wear to get a White House, um, job.) Interested Participant has a story about an owl grabbing a dog. (A bad idea in my yard.)

Yes, I realize that I posted a flaming pantload of stuff today. It's all of today's posts plus all of yesterday's stuff that I wanted to post on but didn't because I wanted the Bonfire of the Vanities to stay... [Read More] Tracked on April 21, 2004 10:33 AM |
