Regrettable perhaps, but understandable.

BULLSHIT!! I really used to know L7 (According to rumor, I spent one blacked-out Easter Sunday chasing Susie Gardner around my house telling her I “loved her” — now thats’s a black-out!) & they were pretty far from political. Also, even tiny Jennifer (of L7, not JennofArk) could beat the crap out of Looser Grrrrrrunt. (Or Troofless.)

Who followed that up with Zombie Reagan Tuesday? Was that Maron also, or John McCain? My memory on that one is a little foggy.

On the occasion of Reagan’s passing, Maron et al just got fed up with the Reagan hagiography at every turn, and launched what came to be known as Dead Reagan Monday.

DAMN!

Good on ya, slippy.

Then of course there was that time he liberated a concentration camp . . . in his fucking head.

I’m doubtful that there was ever any sort of concentration going on in Reagan’s head.

A couple of years ago I saw the Rude Pundit live. Appropriately enough, it was in a shithole of a “performance space” on the Bowery, otherwise known as an empty, smelly room with a bunch of uncomfortable chairs. Putting aside the time he spent on stage miming sex with various inflatable dolls wearing paper masks of various Republicans, the high point of the portion of the evening before I was drunk was his opening rant on Reagan. Rude is my age, which is to say he was in high school when Reagan was shot, and he brought tears to my eyes with his description of wondering why everyone was so upset that the evil motherfucker might die.

Your rant just catapulted to second place behind Rude in the annals of Reagan-bashing, and coming in second to the future winner of a Nobel Peace Prize for invective is no small thing.

btw, Calvin Trillin has something to say about RP

What Whoopi Goldberg (‘Not a Rape-Rape’), Harvey Weinstein (‘So-Called Crime’) et al. Are Saying in Their Outrage Over the Arrest of Roman Polanski

A youthful error? Yes, perhaps.
But he’s been punished for this lapse–
For decades exiled from LA
He knows, as he wakes up each day,
He’ll miss the movers and the shakers.
He’ll never get to see the Lakers.
For just one old and small mischance,
He has to live in Paris, France.
He’s suffered slurs and other stuff.
Has he not suffered quite enough?
How can these people get so riled?
He only raped a single child.

Why make him into some Darth Vader
For sodomizing one eighth grader?
This man is brilliant, that’s for sure–
Authentically, a film auteur.
He gets awards that are his due.
He knows important people, too–
Important people just like us.
And we know how to make a fuss.
Celebrities would just be fools
To play by little people’s rules.
So Roman’s banner we unfurl.
He only raped one little girl.

Does anybody know if there’s a similar explanation for that gag-a-maggot flavor of spinach and asparagus if they’re cooked more than the slightest little bit?

I don’t think I’ll try the veal after all.

RELEASE THE PUNS!
