I think the Spawn of Satan (aka, Anne Coulter) is a trans-species mutant life form — produced by a space alien experiment that went terribly, terribly wrong.

Something like Hitler sperm combined with praying mantis and space alien maggot genes.

Is that okay?

If, on the other hand, transgenderism has been added to sexism, heterosexism, and racism as beyond-the-pale and therefore unacceptable at the ‘lake, I am delighted.

you have to use the [/i] tag (with arrows instead of brackets) to close the italics.

Thanks for your response to my comment — I’ll try to check out those books!!!

Many years ago, at an Experimental Cinema Group screening, they showed a Dadaist movie, that was built on the premise that the auditory is more potent than the visual.

What I’ve noticed is that most TV ads use this formula — choppy visuals, with coherent message in the soundtrack.

Interesting, no?

Everyone blamed it on Berlusconi’s known sleaze factor.

I was really surprised when he was elected. If WE knew his character, how could the Italians miss it?
