I'm coming here for respite.

Apparently, even though I made it as clear as possible without using all caps and exclamation points that I didn't think Vaughn or Joe Boxer had done anything wrong, I have a huge chip on my shoulder and should just get over it.

This despite the fact that I would've been over it a month ago had people not felt the need to tell me to get over it.

I hate everyone.

Good! Use your aggressive feelings! Let the hate flow through you.

Later, we can use Hanne's recipe to fix up a mess of greens, by shooting lightning out of our fingers.

Why is my brain insisting the plural of greens (which is plural to begin with) is "mess of greens"?

Is THAT why I'm suddenly getting links from j. brotherlove's site? We ought to think of a good thematic picture we can post as an index. Porn would be good...but something more political would be awesome, too.

I read the newest comments...they fucking suck. urgh.

Can I have the lightning shooting fingers, too? I promise to use my powers for good, not evil.

I do want to say that Rob Walker is very nice and said he was so pleasantly surprised to see intelligent discussion about race on the internet.

I just wish he was writing on more than ad criticism so that Joe Boxer wouldn't be sending the lemmings.

But there are maybe 3 intelligent people for every 50 that comment. That might be saying something.

Maybe.

You know...I just read the new comments on your blog, jason. Fuck, man! I love how you're not supposed to waste your energy on such things, but all of them ARE.

Whatthefuckever. I had to restrain myself from commenting "Oh, goody! So THIS is where I come to hear the elusive opinion of the white male! I thought I would live my entire life without hearing it!"

fuckers.

Oh yeah, dru, you're not gonna be shooting lightning at random people or nothing.

Still haven't seen the latest movie. Can girls shoot lightning or do other cool Force stuff? Or do I have to write about the sexism of Lucas's fictional universe? Because that sounds incredibly boring. . .

Ouch, my head hurts...and my eyes are crossing. Jason, I commend you for being so patient with the train passengers!

Holy freakin' cow.
Signal to noise ratio just dropped through the floor.

heh, what does it say about the world when I'm coming here to hide from folks?

I might as well be in the middle of the street dancing naked in my joe boxers for all that will do.

They usually keep schtum here, at least. They fear both of us, Xavier, but feel safer attacking you.

Which makes everyone posting here the Brotherhood of Evil Negroes, I suppose. Who wants to be the Scarlet Witch?

Me, me, me.

We must not fear tourists. Tourists are the mind-killer. Tourists are the little-deaths that bring total obliteration. We will face our tourists. We will permit them to pass over us and through us. And when they have gone past we will turn our inner eyes to see their path. Where the tourists have gone there will be nothing. Only we will remain.

I somewhat agree, George, but I'd probably agree less if it were my site. They tell us everything we need to know, as well as a lot of the stuff we didn't.

There is much work to do.

Um, Michelle, have seen some of the outfits Scarlet Witch wears?

You'll have to shave. And find a strapless, backless bra.

George, Bene Gesserit, huh?

We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.

A major concept guides the Missionaria Protectiva: Purposeful instruction of the masses. This is firmly seated in our belief that the aim of argument should be to change the nature of truth. In such matters, we prefer the use of power rather than force.

That could work.

Laura, you get to be Mother Superior. You did mention becoming a nun once, yes?

Watching what happened today with those Visigoths from MSN sure made me think about it again, that's for sure.

would that make you Magneto, or the Toad?

Can I be mastermind?

Laura, just imagine if it had been, say, National Review.

On second thought, don't.

Martin, thought we'd established the MLK/Malcolm X and Caesar/Huey running jokes around here. The logical leap can't be that big. . .

How about Pyro?

Well, I just couldn't take it.

I don't know George and Jason do it. But, I cannot deal with the streams of hits and comments cluttering up my site and email inbox. As Jason said, 3 out of every 50 comments have any sort of relevance to the topic (which transcends whether or not Vaughn is "hot"). On a public board, that would be fine. Not in my house. I don't have time to clean up after tourists.

I don't know if I want the three of you posting here, you being so angry and needing to lighten up and all.

Why are they sending email? Do they expect you to write back?
