But I Was Just Funnin’ Him! Really!!
ABOVE: K.T. McFarland, comedian and defense analyst
Roger Ailes is very, very mad at K.T. McFarland. So mad, in fact, that he ordered her into his office and dictated a column that she would have to write under her own name ‘splainin’ how that conversation she had for him with General Petraeus that was taped and leaked was just one big funny haha joke, just joshin’ around you know, and not to be taken seriously, even if K.T. did spend almost 13 minutes trying to convince Petraeus to run for President at Ailes’s behest. Of course, if you listen to the tape, and you’ve not been living somewhere on the rings of Saturn for most of your life, you will quickly realize how absurd it is for McFarland to claim that this was all just ribbin’ and joshin’ and funnin’ and none of it was meant seriously.
But to avoid your having to waste 15 minutes of your life listening to a sycophantic and obsequious K.T. plant big sloppy wet kisses all over Petraeus’s sagging face (there’s a brain bleach image for you!), here are the relevant parts of the transcript.
McFarland: I’ve got something to say to you, by the way, directly from Roger Ailes. … He says that if you’re offered chairman [of the Joint Chiefs of Staff], take it. If you’re offered anything else, don’t take it, resign in six months and run for president. Okay? And I know you’re not running for president. But at some point when you go to New York next, you may want to just chat with Roger. And Rupert Murdoch, for that matter.
Petraeus: Well … Well, Rupert’s after me, as well. …
Q: I’m only reporting this back to Roger. And that’s our deal. … So what do I tell Roger when he says …
Petraeus: Tell him I don’t… I mean, I don’t know what they’re going to offer me, anyway. I really don’t know.
Q: Okay. But there are only two. … So I can say something along the following lines …
Petraeus: Well, but don’t — that has to be off the record.
Q: There are potentially two jobs that you’d be interested in. His deal with me was that I was only supposed to talk to you.
Petraeus: Yeah, okay. …
Q. No, but can I just say that — can I just tell him what I’ve suggested, and that we’ve discussed …
Petraeus: Yeah, sure.
Q: … is that next time you go to New York you’re going to stop by and see him?
Petraeus: I’d be happy. I would love to see him. I haven’t seen him in a while, so …
Q: I think he would very much appreciate the conversation.
Petraeus: I would love to see. … Yeah. He’s a brilliant guy.
Q: He is simply brilliant. I don’t know if you’ve ever …
Petraeus: He is. Tell him if I ever ran [laughs] but I won’t …
Q: Okay, I know. I know.
Petraeus: But if I ever ran, I’d take him up on his offer.
Q: Okay. All right.
Petraeus: He said he would quit Fox.
Q: I know. Look, he’s not the only one.
Petraeus: And bankroll it.
Q: Bankroll it? [Laughs]
Petraeus: Or maybe I’m confusing that with Rupert.
K.T., if that is your idea of jes’ jokin’ around, don’t quit your day job, such as it is, to go into stand up. Because, frankly, that conversation is about as funny as watching kittens explode in a microwave. Of course, the absolutely most hilarious part is K.T. pressing Petraeus for an answer that she can take back to Ailes. If you actually listen to the transcript, you’ll hear them rolling on the floor and peeing in their pants at the humor of it all.
I realize conspiracy theorists have used this off-the-record interview to claim it was some plot to put Petraeus in the Oval Office. But it was little more than one defense analyst (me) trading some political gossip and laughs with one of the country’s most important military leaders (Petraeus).
No, K.T., sweet T., that’s not what anyone’s claiming. This interview is simply proof (as if more proof were needed) that Fox isn’t a real news organization. Nobody believes Roger Ailes or Rupert Murdoch could make anyone President. Their last effort certainly wasn’t what I’d call a roaring success.
I really don’t understand why they keep bothering to pretend they’re a “news” organization. Does anybody believe that anymore?
And further, it’s pretty obvious that there are no consequences to them being the defacto media arm of the RNC. The public couldn’t care less, the rest of the media doesn’t seem to mind. Why keep up the facade?
ias funny as watching kittens explode in a microwave.
DONT JUDGE ME!
peeing in their pants at the humor of it all.
I’d pay to see that.
I don’t understand why Ailes is so upset about this. Wouldn’t he welcome some proof that someone, somewhere, at some time, thought of him as a kingmaker?
little more than one defense analyst (me) trading some political gossip and laughs with one of the country’s most important military leaders (Petraeus). as we all have done. You know, joshing around with extremely powerful folks, giving them messages from other powerful folks about being the president. Goodtimes my friends.
GOOD NEWS! Google is selling Nexus 7s with HSPA – just bought one for Teh Ho. I suspect their stock was sitting just offshore last week.
I know what a Ho is, but the rest of that is gibberish.
Is it actually possible to denigrate Fox? I think not.
But to avoid your having to waste 15 minutes of your life listening to a sycophantic and obsequious K.T. plant big sloppy wet kisses all over Petraeus’s sagging face (there’s a brain bleach image for you!),
THAT’S NOT HIS FACE!!!! Now, there’s a brain bleach image for you!
K.T. hasn’t had to walk the Planck (yet)…not like Toe Suck and Turdblossom.

a firestorm of speculation
If your speculation melts glass and asphalt and creates updrafts strong enough to form a tornado, with a death toll in the tens of thousands, you are probably doing it wrong.
I know what a Ho is, but the rest of that is gibberish.
I speak fluent Gibberish, and I can tell you that Pupienus’ accent is terrible.
Perhaps those same conspiracy theorists should ask themselves some different questions: Why was an audiotape created of what was supposed to be an off-the-record interview with just four people in the room, which General Petraeus himself said several times was off the record? I certainly saw no recording device, nor did I give my permission for the interview to be taped. So who taped the interview? Why did they keep it hidden away for the past 18 months? Why was it released at this time to a Washington Post reporter? That is surely more interesting than two people, neither of them politicians, joking around about the presidential campaign. Indeed, this is why they call it the silly season.
oh, my…yes…it’s silly! it’s all so, so silly! anyhoo, no, k.t…not more interesting…not even a difficult question to answer: it would likely be the same covert ops you and d.p. were ‘joshing’ about! and we’re supposed to believe this woman is a credible anything?!?! good god…they really aren’t even trying anymore, are they?
From the last thread:

is it only me, or does anybody else find this exchange to be a bit off-putting?
you know, i read an article about petraeus quite a ways back in ye old vanity faire and was rather impressed with him as a person…what’s that saying about fool me once? yeah, i’m just going to not like any public personage again…and dammit, kate middleton is going to be hard for me to get over…

Petraeus couldn’t get a break on Iraq from the NYT. Boo hoo. Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo.
He doesn’t appear to be all that bright. If he had spent more time earning a legacy than trying to get people to make one up for him perhaps he would have a better legacy than the mistress/the crazy lady/the shirtless FBI guy clown of a legacy.

No. You’re not. At least not until I create one, and I’m a committed procrastinator.
Good thing McFarland specified who that military leader was in that sentence. For a second there, I thought she was talking about Cap’n Crunch.

There’s a joke in there somewhere about where seamen hide their rigid tools. Can’t be arsed to look for it.

So now it requires a *conspiracy* for the Murdoch Media to violate journalistic ethics, and to tape off-the-record conversations to save any disclosures for leverage later?
Elsewhere, Ailes accepts that she *was* passing on a message from him, and notes the lack of frivolity in the conversation:
Commanders and supervisors in all corners of the Air Force will conduct a widespread sweep of all work spaces and public areas starting today, looking for pictures, calendars and other materials that objectify women.
They can pry my Cofanifunebri calendar out of my hands when I’m moldering in my Cofanifunebri coffin!!!

Amusing, though, how Ailes accepts that the Reagan administration is a subject for derision and the proper comparison if you want to accuse someone of self-delusive incompetence.
We have to portray a wholesome family image while we’re bombing neighborhoods into rubble.
I would think there’d be lots of interest in a calendar of airmen’s rigid tools.
I really don’t understand why they keep bothering to pretend they’re a “news” organization. Does anybody believe that anymore? – OBS
Sadly, Yes! I know people who believe this: the same people who will espouse positions well to the left of anything Obama’s ever espoused, but who will then claim Obama is a “socialist anti-Zionist” or some such. IOW, people who are tribally Republican and won’t budge an inch based on any actual evidence or reasoning
I speak fluent Gibberish, and I can tell you that Pupienus’ accent is terrible. – Smut Clyde
When I was a kid, I couldn’t settle for just having an imaginary friend, so I made up a whole country (as did my brother — instead of having sibling fights, our nations were locked in a protracted cold war with other made up nations being satellites engaged in proxy-wars): my country was named Gibberland (with a hard G), so they spoke … Gibberish (again, with a hard G).
Gibberish is a Romance language (but unlike real Romance languages, it was derived from Julius Caesar era Latin) with heavy borrowings from the language of the Angles and a vaguely Altaic substratum. The accent kind of sounds vaguely Welsh.
Gee, it turns out that letting your wingnut CEO publicly spew willfully-misinformed vitriol is horrible for brand perception.

Fun quiz from Buzzfeed, on which I totally failed: Real Headline or The Onion Headline?
I need to read The Onion more often…
I passed, but barely, and a lot of the ones I got right were ones that I actually remembered.
I got a Gentleman’s C (14/20). The thing is you never know which section of a real publication the headline comes from: The Onion is not the only publication that is allowed to be kidding.
Q: My husband and I have had a very long and happy relationship because we have completely separate bathrooms.
Petraeus: Isn’t that .?.?. I mean, that’s the ticket.
Petraeus is one of these crack-o-dawn shit-shower-and-a-shave men, a “drop your cocks and grab your socks” type, so having a broad around ruins that barracks feel.
What standard are you using for “passed”? I got 12/20.
When I was a kid, I couldn’t settle for just having an imaginary friend, so I made up a whole country […] named Gibberland (with a hard G), so they spoke … Gibberish (again, with a hard G).
So far so good. Now describe for me the finest ladies of Gibberland. They are “brick houses,” no?
15/20 here. I’m guessing it’s hard to crack 16 in this crazy old world.
I got 13/20. I hope we’re grading on a curve.
Same. 50% is a pass where I come from. US and Canadian schools seem to have different grading systems.
That’s a lie!

“…trading some political gossip and laughs with one of the country’s most important military leaders.”
Joking around, was it? As I understand it, Bob Woodward has an audio recording of the conversation. Shouldn’t be hard to find all the ‘laughs’ on it, most especially McFarland’s. And most especially as she makes the pitch to Petraeus on behalf of Ailes/Murdoch. I’m expecting much giggling and hilarity on the recording. (Actually, it IS hilarious indeed….)
I went 10 / 10. I’m ashamed. I haven’t been as religious with Onion as I used to be. Must get back to the weekly check-in.
Okay, everybody is using a different format, so I went 10 of 20. I’m and baseball guy. Ten wins and ten losses is usually expressed as ’10-and-10′

oh, sweet tittyfucking jesus…i logged onto fb this morning to see a person i have always regarded as intelligent ‘liking’ the central mn tea party’s status:
Let me reword the post from Dec. 2. The UN backed Agenda 21 Nazi’s are coming to St. Cloud to take away your property rights under the guise of protecting the environment. You need to get angry, show up and cast your vote or more of your rights will disappear! Show up at the Stearns County Service Center- 3301 County Road 138, Waite Park at 5:30PM. This is the real deal folks. You need to be heard- Our founding fathers would roll over in the graves if they could see this. Pass the word and share this!
aaaargh…my status (which may or may not be as entertaining as the one relaying mine and hubbkf’s conversation about a holiday candle that smelled like pee) is now ‘what is it about non-binding u.n. resolutions that make people lose their shit?’

This is the main legacy of DeMint’s eight-year Senate career. In the past two election cycles, DeMint’s fingerprints have been on some of the most significant and fateful GOP primary results. In some instances, like the 2010 Kentucky race that helped bring Rand Paul to the Senate, he succeeded in elevating a fellow traveler and bending the Senate that much closer to his far-right absolutism. But in others, his efforts backfired, producing fundamentally unelectable candidates (think Christine O’Donnell) who lost seats the GOP would otherwise have won.

I’m betting there are a lot of Senators who are overjoyed to see the son of a bitch leave, and not all of them are Democrats.
Sadly, no. He never wanted to kill Americans, he just wrote a song about killing torturers, and the criminals who enabled them.
The vast majority of that $8M came from people who never tortured anyone, and I’d say more than half of them believe that torturers should be punished to some degree…
Even more, most of the red state Romney voters have at one time or another pretended to kill “Yankees,” who are Americans no matter how the word is defined. So let’s demonize them, as well.

More subconscious truth-telling, this time buried under a dogwhistle headline, from Morris the Dick:
The question: Why did fewer whites turn out for Romney in ’12 than for McCain in ’08?
Once you peel the onion, past the layers of “OMG Teh Blacks Voted!” and past “OMG Teh Media Worshipped teh
NiggMuslim’s Hurricane Response,” and past “OMG Obama Attacked Romney’s Bain Record” it came down to this, and he knows it:Romney’s a corporate sociopath. And people knew it. At least enough of them did. And since they didn’t have a candidate to vote for, they stayed home.
Or even shorter: You picked a shitty candidate.
But then, GOP voters had nothing but a field full of cowpatties to choose from in the primaries, so it’s no big surprise that they picked the least smelly, least slimy dried puddle of shit to fling for distance and no big surprise that when they stepped up to the line they were too grossed out to put enough effort into it to beat the team with the 170G disc golf driver.

Dear conservatives, you’ve been trying to polish turds all along. You lost because a majority of people have realized that what you have been selling as gold, which you thought were polished turds, was in fact diarrhea all along. You can’t polish that. You can’t put icing on it.
I’m not complaining, mind you. I take it a a good sign, indicative of their continued blindness and inevitable swirl down the drain.

No; through the pupils, what you are seeing is the light from the shitty flash on that point-n-shoot Canon I used back then (I now have a different point-n-shoot Canon) reflecting back off of his tapetum lucidum. Curly’s reflect back a green light; LarryElvis’ reflect red.

I misunderstood. I read this as the seventh anniversary of Curley entering the Prestonian household. Didn’t see the ref might be to a 7-year-old photo.

Doesn’t take much to turn a Siamese into a red-eyed demon.
I remember reading a mystery in which one of the plot points depended on nobody realizing those red points were a blue-eyed cat’s eyes. I’m pretty sure it was a Lockridge Pam & Jerry North tale, written back when blue-eyed cats (almost always Siamese) were a true rarity in the US.
As for that “Common Core” link (“Wingnuts LURVE literature”), I was amused to see the poor (nonfiction) reading comprehension demonstrated by the teachers and administrators, who completely skipped over the part where nonfiction reading was to be spread throughout the curriculum, not dumped wholesale on the English teachers. Not new, of course. I remember a college physics prof in the 1970s telling the class that papers did not have to be well written (as we were all budding scientists!), and bitching about how poorly written the physics texts were becoming. I think that’s about when a friend and I started playing “Connect Four” in class just to piss him off.
Just spitballing, but I think a section examining a poorly written manual might be interesting: figuring out what they were trying to say, why it was so difficult to figure out, how it could be written more clearly, and perhaps some discussion on whether this was on purpose or not ( a cynical person such as myself might wonder if not being able to figure out what a product is supposed to be able to do might help disguise the fact that said product doesn’t do it well, if at all).

1966 was the last year that Cushman made a scooter in the U.S. AFAIK, that’s the last time a production scooter was made in the United States.

That’s astounding in the sense that, while I have never bought a scooter, and I don’t know anyone who has, this is America, the United States of Buying Stuff. And to some degree, manufacturing stuff, but 1966 sounds extreme.

When I was in High School, one of the neighbors had a late 50s Triumph Tessy scooter – disassembled in a box. Nothing was labeled and the documentation was in German.
Needless to say we didn’t get very far trying to put it together. I’m not sure if all the pieces were even tehre.

welp, the commenters are all over williamson’s ass on this one…he did weigh in and call one of them the biggest sissy he’s ever seen…this holiday season, my fondest wish (besides seeing ‘les miserables’ on xmas day) is that kevin will purchase some real egg nog (raw eggs and all!) and die a lingering death from salmonella…
also, too…eggnog seems to me to be a really stupid petard to hoist being as RAW EGGS…eggnog is one product that srsly should have some strict guidelines for manufacture…
and then, here’s a great comment that i am going to remember for future ‘but, but the founders!’ arguments from my mom’s asshat husband who has such a boner for geo washington it is not even funneh:
It’s not that the Founding Fathers are pure evil scum, it’s that they weren’t virtuous enlightened saints whose every thought must be deified. And when you frame a question in that way, asking if this is what the Founding Fathers would have wanted, you beg the question: Why should we care? Afterall, the Fathers are all long dead, and we are alive. Isn’t what *we* want what is actually important? And if you’re going to suggest that what they, the Fathers, wanted for us is more important than what we want for ourselves, you’re pretty much asking for someone to point out that the Fathers were far from saints.
Here’s what my cat’s eyes look like with the camera flash on.
Kevin Williamson is outraged that GUBBLEMENT REGYOOLASHUNS prevent businesses selling processed egg flavored non-dairy nog product labeled as eggnog. It’s as unAmerican as American cheese food product.

She’s a sweetheart, but she likes to play rough. I’ve got the scars to prove it.
My dad worked for the USDA for many years(mostly testing meat), and yes, there were all sorts of rules about percentages for how little meat had to be in something before you had to stop calling it “meat.” Reagan weakened a lot of them, so things that the founding fathers wouldn’t even have recognized as food could be sold to the American people. I bet at the same time Kevin complains that nutmeg and piss can’t be sold as eggnog he feels it’s a real tragedy that prime beef just isn’t as good as it used to be. Also, regulating eggnog dates to AT LEAST 1966, so GET THE FUCK OVER IT ALREADY.

He’s the bee trucking cat.”
Lately he’s on a run of woods rats, the deer colored chipmunk size ones. He likes the way they squeak. He ate one the other night and then slept for 19 hours straight. Made me think about how those rats might taste. Course I’d have to eat 12 – 14 to get the dosage right.
He also kills and eats threads.
So, that is a bee truck, El?

A former cat, back when she belonged to the folks, killed and ate at least one rodent daily, often rats. Pure bred Himalayan, had that ESAD look down cold.
A former cat
After a long regimen of hormones and reassignment surgery, she is now a demon and has fulfilled her evil destiny.
The deal is he has to bring birds to me alive, most of which I release (highlights; a drake wood duck, a screech owl), rodents he can do as he pleases with. Reptiles he can eat but not in the house.
My kitteh has a pattern – she removes the head of every other rodent she brings and deposits on the back porch. Never deviates – she leaves a headless one, then the next one is intact, then the one after is headless, and so on.
The speculation is, the ones that she does NOT behead are the ones she expects me to eat.
it is our nation’s “gatherer’s” (women & blacks) that are destroying u.s.
Whut? Gatherers? I cant keep up with their terminology. I thought we were all either makers or takers. Gatherers sounds good, but then you notice that they’re women and blacks, and they’re destroying us!!
I like women and blacks as much as the next white guy, but destroying us has gotta cancel out any goodwill. It’s time for hunting licenses, “gatherers, no bag limits.”
The speculation is, the ones that she does NOT behead are the ones she expects me to eat.

I can just see it – Spunky, the Demon Cat.
Back when I lived in NJ, the condo backed up onto a creek, and if I came home and there was a certain kind of disarray but the cats were just sitting around, I’d look for the body. If they were prowling about, I’d look for the terrified creature and hope it wasn’t too injured to survive release. They were usually just terrified, as far as I could tell.
Obviously, we’re gathering before taking.

Oooh that does sound efficient. Here’s a further refinement: how about some of us hunt while the others gather then take? The first group could even take what they hunt. Sure, take it back to town.
Is anybody writing this down besides me?
I have seen my cat eat mice. Whole. Head first. Chewing on it just as sort of an obligatory mastication. Of course, he’s a twenty-five pounder, so he could snort a mouse if he had the inclination.
And the selfish bastard never leaves any for me. All I get are grasshopper legs stuck in the carpet.
It’s official: Obama is worse than Hitler.
Yes; if by “worse” you mean “not as good as”.
Did the men who fought at Lexington and Concord do so in order to set up a new regime that would manage their lives on this level?
Did the men who fought at Lexington and Concord do so to protect the right of large corporations to lie to consumers about the products they are selling?
Did the men who fought at Lexington and Concord do so as the competitive platyfish of pints?
Pup: Thanx for both yer links to mango-laden Comments. The Coulson thread was indeed hilarious!
Major: Your B-52, Part One was a wonderful read. I learned a lot–and was able to more-easily imagine the B-52 as a real phyisical presence…so different from looking at video footage or photographs. I will never watch Strangelove
I particularly enjoyed the descriptive tour through the crew compartments. Also the way you structure, your deft transitions, and your style. It is a joy to read the Major Kong Diaries … and they read so smoothly and clearly.
Indeed, that seems to be the universal opinion of the many, many commenters over at The Great Orange Satan. (I learned from the
Fuckety-fuck-fuck!
I totally blame WP!!! This was NOT the result of hitting key or clicking or whatever and thereby publishing my comment prematurely, before it was finished or edited, including a monster Tagfail such as might be expected from be a snow-bound Minnesotan.
Those flaws notwithstanding, it should be fairly clear where my Comment was headed. Terrific job, Major.
Major: Earlier, someone ((Jeffraham?)) suggested that the Major Kong Diaries at KOS could be a blog-like platform for you, for it wouldn’t require the same sort of maintainance as a regular blog might.
Totally makes sense to me. You can easily expand the Major Kong Diaries into a umbrella that covers any subject that interests you. I agree with Jeffraham: KOS might be an excellent blog-like platform for you.
My work is done. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!
You fiend!

Good idea, thanks.
*slips out of shadow on the edge of town*
Nope, nothin. Quiet as a grave.
*slips back into shadow again*
No new thread, either. So perhaps I’m the Only One Left, a survivor in a dystopian Sadlyburg where zombies shamble in search of braanz.
OMIGOD. The horror, oh the horror.
Pull yourself together, man.
I’m still here and may need your protection.
Remain calm and carry on, godammit.
okay…the weather channel continues to make a huge deal out of winter storm caeser…mike seidell is still stationed in minneapolis…really? big whoop…they still drew a crowd for the vikes game yesterday, so is it REALLY that bad?
I was driving back to Huntington WV. When I have a weekend layover in Huntington I rent a car and drive home.
It’s pretty much the only reason to bid Huntington for my monthly schedule.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it, but much of my young life was spent barhopping in Huntington.
Were there enough bars in Huntington to support a proper hop?

Maybe he meant bar hoping… he hoped another bar would open up soon.
LEAFS SUCK Update:
One odd bit of fallout from the Rob Ford Existentialist Theatre is that civic engagement has been amped up. #TOpoli is active again today because of 2013 budget deputations. 209 people are on the agenda to speak on the budget (for no more than 3 minutes). This is for public deputations on a municipal budget document – 209 speakers. Final budget will come out in about a month – so you can imagine the depth of impact these deputations will have on the budget documents.
This is actually down from last year when 348 folks signed up and they had to stretch it over two days. Although last year’s numbers were bolstered by the cut-a-palooza orgy known as the “Core Services Review”.

As a Bears fan, let me assure you that it was horrible.
Oh. You meant the weather.
LEAFS SUCK Update:
The GOOD news is: The Leafs are still undefeated!
The BAD news is: Despite their unblemished record, they are tied for last place.
As a Bears fan, let me assure you that it was horrible.
i kept waiting for the vikings to screw it up and get trounced…sadly, no!
also, too…they still had the freaking holidazzle parade…grr….we actually had some actual inconveniences out here….but no! it’s all about the metro area…
You want mangoes? I got mangoes.
So, I was doing some wedding planning yesterday, and wanted to show my fiancee what I had accomplished, so I gave her my laptop to review. She not only read the plan I prepared, but also examined each browser tab that I had open. She calmly read each page in sequence until she got to the last tab, when she let out a WTF. I guess she wasn’t expecting to see the strange clown picture at the beginning of this thread. So, duly noted. No clowns at the wedding.
You want mangoes? I got mangoes.
holy crap…you weren’t just whistling dixie were you? the first comment out of the gate rises up and punches you in the face…
“It would be historic for an Indian American governor from the Deep
South to appoint an African American to the U.S. Senate,” the official
said.
It would be truly historic if the GOP started standing up for its base (i.e., whites) instead of wasting time and resources on “reaching out” to blacks and Mestizos who would only dismiss a black GOP candidate as an Uncle Tom.
Warning – don an air mask before viewing those mangoes BS linked to. The air there is especially noxious, a very pale if not Pure white miasma.
i hope to hell this is a poe:
I mourn the South’s being inhabited by other races than Caucasians. I just put in his place a young white minister who preached a sermon I heard against the south re: slavery. He was a missionary’s son in Colombia, SA. I told him he should preach against his country’s violence and drug culture and leave the South alone. He was offended that I defended the South.
Can anyone give me the name of a book that refutes lies about the South? I’ll Take My Stand doesn’t count as Robert Pen Warren changed his stance on slavery.
Wow. That writer has no idea about history, does he (I’m assuming the writer’s a WASP male). Does it not occur to him that the rosy* past he envisions existed only because of the slave labor (literal, later figurative) of “other inhabitants?”
*I’ve noticed people who hearken back to some “ideal” past always assume they would be among the very small number of elites, not the far more numerous workers making the elites’ relative ease possible. Me, I know most if not all of my ancestors were peasants, so I’m happy to have been born when I was.
New post, slackers.
