No. YOU read @5 above. Because THAT way you will have to actually read the words. Then you people might learn to actually read English. Actually read the words persons use. That is called “language,” a dying art. And “Bobo” although a conservative is a very very very good writer. He is inexplicably conservative, but [...]

I think I have dealt fairly with all of you. When I write I try to achieve clarity. Apparently I have not yet convinced others to take me seriously. You will keep laughing at me but what you won’t do is give the actual piece I wrote a chance. Maybe if you actually read the [...]

Looks like having money sorta inflates the ego, huh? That is the problem nowadays. The correlation between the “upper class” and actually deserving to be there is weaker than ever. I cannot say when I’ll post again, but if I come up with another good ‘un…maybe I will post right here on my ‘outlet’ America’s [...]

Well, that is what I said. I suppose I could have ended it better but that is what the piece actually means. I certainly agree that both of them are fiddling while world is burning. It ended a little bit abruptly. I am still trying to get it together as a writer. I think I [...]

Funny how this generation takes the title or outer media – the wrapping paper – as seriously as the text or content itself. I never thought of the notion of clowns, not while I was writing this thing this morning for my own amusement. I just realized I need to have a title. Duh. And [...]

Always you say something negative. Give my regards to the klown posse though whomever the f*ck your f*cking tribe is. Why dont you send a picture so I can see what your tribe looks like? Nothing you say ever makes any sense. All because I used the word “clown” in my title, and you happen [...]

Well, their time frame is one thing, yours another. If you start at the year 2000, their statement works except for the tragic phrase “historical norms” that the little devils inserted at the end. “Squirrel away” is almost certainly a pejorative, I would like to say. My feeling is that the W.Post is, indeed, irresponsible, [...]

Hey Baker, I actually have a similar post. I just noticed it, while I was reply to this guy who always comments on my work. It is probably on my list of posts. My post, too is about “Mitt’s Speechwriter…” Weird coincidence, huh? Go read it. Yes. Just click on it. It is called “my [...]

Ludwig, the clowns are the ones in the car. I don’t recall any discussion of another kind of clown watching. I am sure I like ICP as much as you. But: The ‘klowns’ in MY piece are in the freaking car, dude. Not WATCHING. So, brother, you have different clowns, and that explains that YOU [...]

What is it you are saying is deficient in the phrase “grand compromise on a budget”? Why is the phrase (that the GOP-ers used) a bad one? I do not understand why the present doesn’t matter and if budget deficits were “quite modest” until the housing market crashed that means we can go back in [...]

Yeah. The problem is, I knew all that. It does nothing about the sick feeling. It is this same sick feeling that is still there in me. You did nothing to change that, and you probably shouldn’t have, because there is nothing to say, except to get off the internet. That same sick feeling probably [...]

HEre is an excerpt from your essay First, let me note that you use the word “morally,” after the fantasy part when you start speaking to us readers in ‘normal-moral’ voice. “The French want reparations and restoration. They date the catastrophe of their nation to 2048. The Chancians are willing to talk about undoing anything [...]

You do not want to be nice, do you?

That same quote that the previous responder responded so pre-emptively to is a really fine quote. Thank you for isolating that out of the Salinger book. Very nice quotation. I want you to also check out my diary entry today a few hours ago, my first foray onto FDL participation. It is “How do members [...]

My comments are actually not that, not the same old capitalist crap. So what you said is not true. What part of this did you read? Just the WORD “capitalist.” That is a word. You do not seem to understand the word “nice” either. Did you ever read this piece in the first place? A [...]
