“The Masses”

[If my bit of satire is “evil,” G-d knows what you’d call the mass murders she and McMussolini senior advocate as a matter of policy.]

Frank Zappa’s Valley Girl lives as a writer. At least that’s the tone of the articles by Ms. McCain, I caught. Since Mr. Zappa was a die hard Libertarian and Ms. McCain appears to be a Neo, I’m not sure “conservative” fits since I gather she was speaking of how the party should change to fit the current political fashion show, rather than stand up for principles. ie all things for all things hip, I guess. She’ll fit in with all the other ‘entertainment tonight’ guests.

“A cow is born” is yet another wonderful work.

I was moo-ved by your linguistic precision and utterly enjoy every word.

I am not surprised that the carcass that is the Republican Party would proudly herd yet another heifer into the spotlight with the intent of spreading its deadly hoof and mouth disease, especially when Meghan’s father is so full-ah-bull.

Rex C.

[Brilliant letter; hope to see more of your wit on the blog.]

Good grief! “A Star Is Born” is not esoterica. I knew that it referenced a movie, although I’m young and not great with pop culture trivia. Please consider the lack of recognition a sign of the Age of the Idiot.

[Thanks YOU]

My god, we’re doomed. Let’s hope she’s stillborn. In the immortal words of that great philosopher Rodney King, “Ca, ca, can’t we all just be moderate?” Where do we get these people?

This is exactly why I left the GOP some years ago. Every time they stand up for principles, they succeed. And as soon as they succeed, they go all wobbly and want to get along. They are afraid to lead — because they are afraid to be responsible for whatever happens, good or bad. They just want to keep their jobs. The Damnocrats have bigger game in their sights.

Very discouraging.

Now if you had referenced the 1954 version (Judy Garland and James Mason) or the 1937 (Janet Gaynor and Frederick March), that would be esoteric.

Scathing pith! Bravo!

[LOL. Conservatives don’t like people who buck the pary-line. I’m out.]

Drudge has always been foolish not to link you. Guess you need to move to Palm Beach — and get ripped at the Clevelander in S. Beach too! — with his good buddy Coulter to be in that group.
