(And hopefully it's not mine.)
I'm not sure who Burt Prelutsky is, or why he has a column anywhere -- oh wait! It's Town Hall.com, which also posts the reactionary dribblings of Michael Medved, Ann Coulter, and other neo-con "heros." Anyway, I only ran across this because, seriously, I was searching for news about the LA Dodgers and this latest gem from Burt Prelutsky was mixed in with the rest of it. I couldn't resist. The column called "
sheep and goats" starts off thusly:
"The other day, I read a letter to the editor in the L.A. Times written by an irate homosexual. Come to think of it, is there any other kind?..."
Stop drilling, you hit oil! Whoa, Burt, you have already welcomed us to your world. What is it like to be you, I wonder. To wake up every morning, tired and cranky, and yet rubbing your hands together with excitement -- What can I get my narrow mind to focus on today? There are so many groups I hate out there, I don't even know where to begin!
"Liberals are so intolerant they often can’t even bear to have people say “Merry Christmas” in their presence. In fact, they can’t even bring themselves to recognize it as a celebration of a specific event."
That's right, all of us scheming liberals are conspiring to get Christmas banned, or even any mention of it, because we're evil! {twirl mustache diabolically}
"Where liberals are concerned, one thing you can always count on is that they regard themselves as morally and intellectually superior to those who disagree with them. And, yet, surely there must be liberals somewhere who possess enough common sense to realize how absurd it is when the city council of Berkeley, California, instead of dealing with potholes and street vendors, came up with a resolution condemning the Iraq War, or when a grand jury in Willacy County, Texas, recently decided to indict Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzalez. Aren’t there any liberals who find such things even faintly amusing?"
Of course! I find Berkeley amusing all the time. I'm as progressive as they come and I make fun of Berkeley all the time.But you know what I find even more amusing? Burt Prelutsky. You know those fake editorials in the Onion, and how they sometimes have one written by the old timey conservative "publisher" of the paper? (Or those hilarious fake editorial cartoons satirizing a smarmy conservative cartoonist who thinks liberals are all the same and all evil and that he is also quite funny? About as funny as a Mallard Fillmore cartoon.) That's Burt Prelutsky, except he's real.
But don't worry Burt, we conniving, diabolical liberal friends-of-homosexuals have no interest in banning your column or tearing anything you do down. It's just such great satire it practically writes itself.
But I couldn't resist posting a comment on that blog. Please forgive me, Lord.
