<p>Great article in this morning’s Washington Post. Why does this sound so familiar?
</p>

<p>I almost feel sorry for her. She must have a really horrible life if all she does all day is rant on a blog. What is she going to do when there’s a new president, get a life perhaps? I understand political dissent, but letting it become an all-consuming part of your life is just sad and unhealthy.</p>
<p>Hey, Ann Coulter makes good money doing the same thing from the Right.</p>
<p>And the RIGHTcasters never yell, call names, show anger and frustration</p>
<p>Nope, they are beacons of calm and decorum</p>
<p>This article shows why lunatics should be kept away from a keyboard. Does she ever really “wake up” from the torpor of her utter stupidity?</p>
<p>“I’m insane with rage and grief.” says she. No, ma’am. just plain and simple … insane!</p>
<p>“I did a good thing today.” And for a moment, anyway, she isn’t angry at all … but still a moron.</p>
<p>Xiggi:</p>
<p>I have to agree with you on this, even if we frequently diverge in our politics. The woman sounds seriously lunatic.</p>
<p>I have read some exchanges on political blogs. Profanity and ad hominen attacks are not the tools of choice of single identifiable group.</p>
<p>The suggestion that only the left wing produces nut jobs is unwarranted . Neither the left nor the right has the market cornered on outrage, absurdity, or even downright lunacy.</p>
<p>she needs a life (this is coming from a pretty socially liberal guy)</p>
<p>Marite, I post occasionally under a different nom de plume on a couple of moderately well known political forums. Virtually always I’m trying to pull <em>my</em> side back into reasonableness. I can take care of my adversaries, God save me from my allies. Not original, I know.</p>
<p>Parce que la parole est libre mais serve est la plume,
Notre ami TheDad a un nouveau nom de plume
Mais le connaissant un peu, assur</p>
<p>Some of us don’t speak French Xiggi. Would you please translate? If this is a private message to TheDad, please use the PM function of the site. Thanks.</p>
<p>frrom Xiggi (free translation from an Internet site):</p>
<p>“With the light of the feather, my friend TheDad
Because the word is free but serf is the feather,
Our friend TheDad has a new pen name
But knowing it a little, undoubtedly I assume it,
That these enemies fear to see it flying in the feathers”</p>
<p>I take no responsibility for grammatical errors… :)</p>
<p>The title was a little parody. </p>
<p>Parce que la parole est libre mais serve est la plume,
Notre ami TheDad a un nouveau nom de plume
Mais le connaissant un peu, assur</p>
<p>
Does this have something to do with TheDad in a feather boa? Were you having an Irish Coffee, Xiggi?</p>
<p>driver… just throw the bomb and duck for cover from the returning fire… let’s pretend that only the nutjobs on the left are crazy, right? Extremes exist at both sides, but it’s probably easier for some to pretend they only exist on the other side.</p>
<p>unlucky bird, undressed for quills
to serve his hankering for airborne trills</p>
<p>Prancing about with his feathered duster
His enemies cringe at his weathered bustier.</p>
<p>and when his sword slashed at cliche
his reach exposed his proud touche</p>
<p>(or is tush-mentioning too risque?)</p>
<p>Honi soit les vaches qui rit.</p>
<p>And I’d never realized that there might be a link between committing bad verse and committing bad politics. Something an ambitious grad student might want to investigate.</p>
<p>At least she stands up for what she believes in and trys to do something about it. There is a lot to be angry about with this administration and I for one am glad some take the courage to do so even if they offend.</p>
