Fun, Hateful Comments

I wasn't going to post today--I have chili that I need to be making--but I had to share this with the class. On my Can Kerry Win? post, I just got an earful of ALL CAPS opprobrium.

AMERICANS ARE SICK TO DEATH OF THE HATRED AND DESTRUCTION WROUGHT BY THE SO CALLED 'REPUBLICANS' OF THIS COUNTRY. SEAN HANNITY, SAYS ONE OF THESE SHEEP ON THIS BOARD, IS MAKING KERRY OUT TO BE 'CRAZY'. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE GOP IS OUT OF INTELLECTUAL AMMO WITH WHICH TO AIM AT A CANDIDATE OF THE OPPOSITION, THEY BEGIN WITH THE VITRIOLIC NAME CALLING. HOW ABOUT ARGUING THE MERITS AND WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICANS AND OUR WORKING PEOPLE?

ENOUGH VITRIOL, REPUBLICANS! HOW DARE YOU REFER TO YOURSELVES AS CHRISTIANS; CHRIST WOULD SMITE THE LOT OF YOU FOR YOUR VICIOUSNESS IN YOUR CRUSADE AGAINST THE "LEFT"

YOUR SATANIC PRESIDENT HASN'T A CHANCE IN HELL AGAINST VIETNAM HERO JOHN KERRY.

Apparently Christ wants to smite me because I don't support Christ's presidential candidate. And I'm a "so-called" Republican which differs wildly from the more real Republicans out there in some inexplicable way.

Truth is, I did call Kerry a bully. And I supported it with thought and story and something resembling intelligence.

This "working" guy, who is anything but privileged or wealthy, most certainly has argued the merits of the serious candidates. I have refrained from much of the obvious name-calling. I have tried to be grown up about it, even when faced with the rhetoric of Michael Moore and Al Franken. And, yes, for now I think America, and the world, will be better with President Bush in office than any of the Democrat contenders.

So, I'll be casting my vote for the "SATANIC PRESIDENT."

And this guy dares to cast aspersions at GOP name-calling? It would be worrying if it weren't so damned funny.

Thanks for dropping by, pal. I needed a good laugh today.

Gaaack! Ground beef, and beans? Man, that ain't chili. I know ... I used to be one of those misguided unfortunates who knew of nothing other than the midwestern "chili con carne" as a dish which was referred to by the shorthand "chili". I'm not really sure what to call it -- some sort of stew, I guess. But it ain't chili.

I hope it tastes good anyway.

Jed, Jed, Jed, there are different kinds of chili.

And it was good. Really really good.

Heh. There's more than enough left over. Not that I expect it to last long...

You got a mention by Hannity? Way to go!

And by the way, with or without beans, ground beef is a fine thing to put into Chile. I have my own award-eligible* chili recipe that skips the beans but includes ground beef, along with about six different kinds of chile peppers and whatever I can steal from my wife's stash of Indian chile powder and cumin (which she uses for curry). I call it Indian Wildfire -- little play on words there -- and I'm proud to spell it c-h-i-l-i.

* So far it has lost in the one and only chili cook-off in which I entered it. But it was for a bunch of Episcopalians, so no big surprise. They ended up giving top honors to some French guy. Sheesh!
