Birds, snakes and aeroplanes. And Lenny Bruce

[cyrano]

Holy crap, Batman. There's something wrong with the world when even Rush Limbaugh agrees with me. Jerry Falwell is a fuckwit, peace loving innocent Muslims are not to blame for this and should not be abused, and "We are going to have to be very, very very careful about going overboard in restricting freedom in the name of security. Becasue, man, the temptation to do that is going to be so, so great."

And in related news, Hell has achieved a previously undiscovered state of matter after reaching temperatures of absolute zero. :-)

Ever hear the saying, "Politics makes for strange bedfellows."?

BTW, it was reported in the NY Times today that the fuckwit appologized. For whatever that's worth.

You must be *really* hard up for things to do if you are listening to Rush Limbaugh.

Well....

Actually, I was reading Elbows* mail, and somebody mentioned it. I went to the website to verify, so that I could gesticulate wildly.
*Elbows is a mailing list I'm on, whose purpose is 'the venting of spleen and other bodily fluids'.

Wow. Hi, sweetie. You've been around for a while. How did somebody like /you/ sneak under my radar?

Honestly, I'd forgotten that you were on Live Journal, and was just cleaning out my inbox in prep for moving to a new machine when I found the note that said you were! :)

From Falwell's Web site today: "I do not know if the horrific events of September 11 are the judgment of God, but if they are, that judgment is on all of America--including me and all fellow sinners--and not on any particular group." Well, it's a step in the right direction... I guess.

Yesterday his statement was that we had to obey God if we wanted His protection. For some reason I found that funny... God running a Protection Racket. But I guess some people really do think that way.

This is why we have mathematics

I was thinking about this yesterday in a different context, and, well, one of the handy things about numbers is that they let you distinguish between different degrees of something. As a really completely arbitrary example, one would be perfectly correct to say that Rush Limbaugh is a big fuckwit, and also perfectly correct to say that Jerry Falwell is a big fuckwit. However, when you can quantify it as Limbaugh: 37.4 Standard Fuckwit Units and Falwell: 859 SFU, you can see that they aren't the same, and figure out which one you would shoot first if you had only one bullet.

Okay, no more babble from me.

No no no! Tripbabble is fun, and it makes people sneak over to check my journal, just to see if Trip has left more clever comments.
