I think HESHE means He-She, no?

It’s late and everyone’s left the party…but what is it about Internet loons and weird typography? Even were I not a militantly agnostic commie pinko the multi-colored fonts are enough to make we want to stay away from “Pastor: Billy Ball.”

I love how anyone who doesn’t agree with Billy Ball’s view of the world is intolerant.

Someone needs a dictionary.

HESH = High Explosive Squash Head - a round which spalls shrapnel inside a tank by setting off a shaped explosion on the armour outside. The man was obviously objecting to anti-tank weapons.

I love how Mary Katharine Ham is listed as an “Internet Expert” in the clip… She writes for frickin’ Townhall.com. Why can’t they put that up there? Oh right… its Fox News.

I have never seen a spittle-filled argument on a left/liberal political blog about the healing properties of crystals.

Sorry, bad example. I should have said “vaccination.” And if you missed the spittle-filled arguments about how vaccine companies are plotting against us and vaccines DO TOO cause autism so there!, you can scroll down a few posts and see the 170+ comments.

And don’t forget, Pam, if you don’t forward this e-mail to 10 of your closest friends within the next 24 hours, TERRIBLE THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU! OMG!!!1!!1! Your dog will burn down and hour house will run away….I mean, your house will burn down and your dog will run away. Your best friend won’t like you any more. You will get painful, burning sores on your bum and your hair will fall out. Oh, and you’ll develop leprosy (that would explain the sores)……..

I don’t know if this has already been posted elsewhere on Pandagon since I’m hopelessly behind on my blog reading, but the Bill O’Rielly Dance Mix is priceless. Definitely NSFW, though.

If you don’t think so, try debunking the healing properties of crystals sometime and see the spittle start to fly.

I have never seen a spittle-filled argument on a left/liberal political blog about the healing properties of crystals. Not since the summer of 2001 or so. I’ve seen heated arguments over religion and the South and Amanda Marcotte/mean ol’ feminists and Ralph Nader and vegetarianism and actually whether or not you can call yourself “political” when you don’t actually participate in the process, but I’ve never seen a violent debate on the healing properties of crystals. Tell me, where does the dowsing contingent fit into this quarrel? What about “The Secret” people? I’d kinda like to see one of these fights.

As for “he/she”, I hadn’t heard that in 20 years. Once upon a time, a transient of apparently indeterminate gender - which probably meant a skinny dude with long hair - wandered through my little Northeast Mississippi hometown. From my 10-year-old mindset, the idea that some dude wanted to dress up like a woman was less disturbing than how friggin’ freaked out the vast majority of my fellow stump-jumpers were over the guy’s apparent desire to look pretty once in a while. ‘Course, my mother was a basketball coach and basically wore gym pants and t-shirts exclusively, so what do I know.

Yes, but the loony element of the left sure doesn’t have the malice the right does. The right wants control; the left wants freedom. Crystals aren’t going to hurt anybody unless you chuck them at somebody. The Righties are scary.
