Amanda: Wow, I am absolutely no good at innuendo (seriously, I'm not being snarky; I'm a HUGE flake when it comes to all that). I'm getting a new apartment soon that allows cats (so I've been hanging out with some friends cats and am pretty excited) and I just really like eating at Taco Bell and sort of wanted to get in on the food thing. I changed Taco to Curry, which are better than tacos anyway (I make a mean vindaloo!) and I'm pretty sure that 'Curry' doesn't really mean anything except what its supposed to mean (which is a primary colored foodstuff that will melt the roof of your mouth, stain anything that it gets near and likes to be followed around by several beers of a strong type).

Mom only found out when she heard her baby screaming happily, "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" outside the livingroom window. Who knew you could be a foul mouthed liberal so young?

What we're seeing is a series of short burst tactics that leave their opponents with around 5 seconds to figure out what they're doing before moving on to the next tactic. Here we go: the left is unhinged and angry! The Rod Majors brouhaha proves the left is homophobic! Left wing bloggers hate religious people! FASTER! The AP is conspiring with terrorists! Hummel figurines can't be logos! The surge is working! BOSS STAGE! SWEAR WORDS PROVE THE LEFT IS HATEFUL! I actually think wingnut tactics these days are more analogous to WarioWare than MarioKart.

O'Reilly's site and commenters are now being investigated by the Secret Service for threatening Sen. Clinton. And the brave folks who took one for the team by going over there are now banned from O'Reilly land.

I almost asked if Bill was ever going to grow up but of course he is a right wing jerk who really doesn't give a shit about the word "fuck" but needs an excuse to get huffy about the left wing blogosphere.

(I live with an elderly parent, and an emphatic F-bomb still has magical effects.) The difference between commenters on the right and the left is that the right indulges in fantasies about violence, receiving at most a PG-13 rating, and the left indulges in talk about sex, which gets R or NC-17.
