Hmmmm, that’s all you’ve got? isolate one word, check thesaurus for a big word throw that in to hopefully give your post some validity and impact then hit send? oooookay.

Anyway, the comments over on her blog are inane at best, even Althouse who weighs in and says

“The fact that he expends energy hating me is his burden, of course. I’ve never spent any time thinking about him and don’t intend to start now.”

Yet you just devoted an entire post with multiple pics sourced to him which I am sure took some thought and time, at least to type it?

Or the intellectual powerhouse who contributes this one…

“TRex. How could someone so obviously Gay, be so homophobic?

“Spiders on my thighs”?

I mean, can TRex get anymore Gay?”

uh yah ok. The lofty discourse it’s just too much for me…

And then Althouse comes roaring back after much time pondering T-Rex’s motivations and concludes…

He’s also trying to get his readers to pay him to eat something. Nobody’s biting.

Mystery solved, now where’s that shiraz!

After reading many people over there complaining that T-Rex didn’t do any research or got it all wrong this comment kind of stuck out…

And the whole “I don’t read that blog” thing is just LAME. It’s like, “obviously you do, you boner, stop trying so hard to be cooler-than-thou”

Ummmm, somehow they missed the first bloody sentence that said “I’ve mostly stopped reading Ann Althouse, really” ‘Mostly’ and ‘don’t’ are just not the same, and then this is in conjunction with juvenile name calling while other commentators accused T-Rex of being juvenile using the word ‘boobies’

and then

And what is the deal with “progressive” bloggers lately to assume anyone who posts something they dislike is a homosexual? (Not that there is anything wrong with that!)

gah, I’m not sure either about that one…

These represent the more coherent comments and keep in mind there are only 39 comments in her post and 2 or more of them are from Althouse herself, lol.

Furthermore, as everyone who practices Sex Magick knows, the egg symbolizes disincarnate and/or extraterrestrial intelligence or energy or some other, similar random ill-defined super-scary cosmic force.

Ditto for everyone who has seen “2001: A Space Odyssey”.

So I would argue that unless you can exclude a familiarity with any of the above on Mamselle Althouse’s part, you cannot rule out the possibility that she is just a good old-fashioned 100% hetero dame, who is merely seeking to indicate that: (a) she derives her nourishment from the suffering of the Jews; or (b) that she is powered by alien and/or Satanic forces.

I mean, that’s only fair.

It’s cool and rainy this morning in central Jersey. Yikes! I can’t imagine coping with fire ants, TexasEllen.

Young Ezra Klein from TAPPED braved Tweety and a shrill Republican harpy last night on Hardball. Clips are available for viewing at Crooks & Liars.

Glenn Greenwald has a great take on the “conventional wisdom” of Washington’s foreign policy elites. And Matt Yglesias has a great riff on Greenwald’s piece. All good food for thought.

Speaking of food, there’s some lemon poppyseed loaf on the counter, and coffee and tea. Help yourselves.

Work for peace, every day.
