Houston Democrats

And even our locals are jumping on the crazy train. From the suburban conservative fortress of Sugar Land, I give you Safety for Dummies (via BOR)

No link? Tsk tsk.

You do realize that Elam was actually ridiculing Team Perry's choice of time for an "education" announcement (conveniently when no teachers could be in attendance) AND Team Perry's obsession with the Strayhornites, right? You realize that what you blockquoted was FROM the Perry people, and was the subject of Elam's sarcasm?

Or did you not even bother to go and read the post by Elam, simply assuming you knew what it would say?

To characterize his post as you did suggests the latter. That's sort of an embarrassing gaffe, since I don't think there's much in Elam's post that you'd necessarily disagree with if you hadn't started fuming and calling it part of the crazy train without reading it.

Here's a link for anybody who wants to go read and decide for herself. The blogosphere is all about the links, bro. :)

Ouch. =)

Now Kevin, be nice to our left-wing friends. Some of them have made public vows never to be fully informed! =)

Vowing never to read a site, and misquoting the same site, is a fine example of our left-wing friends' consistent approach to life. =)

You know, I always thought that this particular blogosphere, when it was invaded, was all about snot-nosed, smartass Repugs who got out of the intellectual playpen and wandered into territory inhabited by liberals who scared the bejesus out of them to the extent that they sat down in their dirty diapers and just struck out at anything that metaphorically moved or seemed to think. If I am misinformed--Intelligent Designer forbid!--I trust that one of my left-wing friends--of which there are many, all well-informed about the things that matter--will straighten me out without subjecting me to the kind of juvenile sticking out of the tongue practiced by Whited/Elam & Co., who ought to tuck their tails and go home now because their mama under the porch might be looking for them.
As for my "consistent approach to life," I only share that with my liberal, left-wing friends, who have the intellectual wherewithal to understand that "a foolish consistency is," indeed, "the hobgoblin of little minds."

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I give you Exhibits 3b and 3a, listed above in chronological order.

Kev, Chris has spoken to your confusion about linkage, though I admit to having taken a wrong turn and found myself in that fetid little chatroom just yesterday. I thankfully managed to run out before the smell infected my clothing, though my swatter hasn't caught up with the big green fly that flew out of my monitor right before I escaped.

Yet you might teach your linkage lesson to your buddy Crap Boy; I notice I've been mentioned in his little dumpload a couple of times, and not only does he forget to cite but he also manages to misspell my name as well. There's some Bible lesson about casting the first stone I want to reference here, but I can't find the link.

Chris(tian)? You wanna help Brotha Kev out with that?

One last thing: I've noticed some blogs actually ban commenters for veering so far off topic...

There's no one and nothing misquoted in my post; that is, if you both are capable of reading (and comprehending what you've read). Elam's a victim of homeschooling; what's your excuse, Kev? =)

Tsk, tsk.

You rude little boys can come back after you've learned some manners.

Too bad this discussion veered so far off topic. We need to be venting about Pat Robertson, not beating back alien invaders to the blog.

One of the more interesting notions that the Reverend expressed was that Chavez was going to turn Venezuela into a "launching pad for Communist infiltration and Muslim extremism". Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those things more or less mutually exclusive? So why would Chavez stop there? Why wouldn't he also attack us with hippies, feminists, Nazi sympathizers, papists, and supporters of Santa Anna and King George III?

And citing the Monroe Doctrine??? What's next, the Magna Carta? The Code of Hamurabbi?
