…that my last post, talking about a guy catching crap for posting his political opinions to his own blog, would generate a comment from a conservative, wanting the argue the point.
Shoot me now.
Wanted to share….
Best thing I’ve read today, from Curt over at Groovy Age of Horror, in a flame post responding to crap he’s been given for posting his political opinions to his own blog:
“Wake the fuck up and understand how literally right-wingers mean it when they use terms like “culture war.” Why did we lose the last election? We showed up for a debate–to an Ultimate Fighter cage match.”
That is easily the best summation of the situation I have read in quite a while.
War of the Worlds….
Just got back from seeing War of the Worlds with
Rough viewing (and not in a “bad film” way).
Let’s see:
Divorced Dad? Check.
Ex-Wife now with more financially-secure guy? Check.
Kids growing more distant? Check.
Young skinny blonde daughter with big blue eyes? Check.
Sullen teen who refuses to listen? Check.
Sudden attack with lots of property damage, collapsing buildings and billowing clouds of ash in the urban Northeast? CHECK.
Kids in distress, with one shrieking “is it the terrorists?”…..gah.
Sometimes I’m reminded of how deeply the whole thing still affects me. I sat through much of that movie with my heart literally pounding.
