Brilliant.

Though, he’s trapped within the limitations of his metaphor. Why, there are countless things one can do with spaghetti! You can twirl it around a fork, cut it, sprinkle cheese on it, toss it at a wall to see if it sticks, maybe pee on it if you’re so inclined, drop it into a mine shaft, take a blowtorch to it, feed it to a wild dog, scream at it… the possibilities are endless.

What’s wrong with being a spaghetti tosser? Why aren’t they even considered in this little world of his?

Why stop at spaghetti? I want to know how I should move other food products as well. How should I get a sliced ham from one end of the table to the other? Should I push it or pull it? Throw it? How about ketchup? What’s the proper way, in his opinion, to move ketchup?

Why would you even have to do that? How would the spaghetti get there? If you’re finding huge wads of spaghetti on your counter, you have bigger problems than having to figure out whether you’re going to tug or shove. Are you that uncoordinated that you miss the plate entirely?

But most importantly, who the hell wants to sit there dicking around with wads of spaghetti? Fuck, there are WARS going on.

[...] I haven’t been doing a lot of wingnut takedowns lately, mostly because reading them has become damaging psychologically. I mean, just last week my shrink outright forbade me to ever read Powerline again. But this column by Dr. David Noebel could be the best wingnut debut I’ve read since Coach Dave’s infamous “Spaghetti-Pusher Leadership.” Let’s get ‘er done: [...]

Just out of curiosity have a look at Luke 9:51-62 :

And to another he ( Jesus) said, “Follow me.”
But he replied, “Lord, let me go first and bury my father.”
But he answered him, “Let the dead bury their dead.
But you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
And another said, “I will follow you, Lord,
but first let me say farewell to my family at home.”
To him Jesus said, “No one who sets a hand to the plow
and looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God.”

I can generally go along with the Jesus message – but anyone who told me to let my father rot and screw my family, can go “proclaim” themselves.

Generally, I love to generously slop olive oil all over my spaghetti, and then it’s time to ride those stallions, ride ‘em hard!! Step 3: Profit!

So much goodness. Woody Hayes was a good football coach, but hardly a model for sound education advice. He coldcocked an opposing player after that player beat his team. And really, I have seen farmers push a plow behind horses, that is generally how it is done.

I interpted the “ride the stallions, shoot the nags” to mean keep the male teachers and fire the female teachers. If that was what he meant, I can see why they didn’t vote for him.

You’ve got to admit he has one valid point: the fact that God is illegal is a national shame. It is time to repeal the Free Love, Faggotry, Doobies, and Illegalize God Act of 1968.

Beautiful, sheer hilarity. In all that spaghetti does the word people appear at all? Total dehumanization, it’s near poetic. Nags, bulls, stallions too, spaghetti Animal Farm, yup, Coach Dave is the real deal.

A football coach this opposed to the whole idea of pushing forward from behind has to have some rather novel approaches to the short-yardage game, or, really, line play entirely.

You know, this metaphor may have legs, after all: Is the body politic al dente? That is to say, are we cohesive enough to be led, or pulled, in the ‘right’ direction? Or have we gone soft and mushy, and must be corralled and pushed?

And is red clam sauce tastier than white clam sauce? Can you still make fettucine alfredo if all you have is linguine? Do chocolate chips belong in a cannoli? (No!, I say… sadly)

From my limited knowledge of pushing and pulling, you can push something off of a cliff without putting oneself at any peril. To pull something off of a cliff, however, almost certainly requires you to go with it. I know cliffs aren’t part of the spaghetti metaphor but otherwise it’s unclear what pushing or pulling any food has to do with leadership.

Marc Maron’s been using “christofascist” for a couple of years now, which you would’ve known if Air America’s marketing department wasn’t such a bunch of spaghetti pushers (No, not figuratively; they’ve eschewed traditional advertising methods in favor of shoving linguini around the boardroom).

I think “feminazi” is still available, though.

Gee, I can’t for the life of me figure out why the guy who said he would fire teachers who were nearing retirement wasn’t a very popular candidate.

None of them follow the Constitution (I honestly doubt if they have read it), except when they want to pass unconstitutional legislation.

This is probably the first Coach Dave column he’s ever written where he isn’t bitching about how he wasn’t allowed to say prayers before his football games. But none of these noodle pushin’ Senators know anything about the Constitution! Why, if only Woody were still alive the two of us would line up in the power-I and plow through all these ACLU lawyers and clear the way for W. to score the touchdown.
