If the bell tolls for the demise of the evil or the stupid, it is the voice of God's Law, evolution. Forms which are fit, survive. The others are -- we'll call it -- recycled.
March, 2006 -- It was on the evening of February 25th. One of the Dish network channels aired it. The L.A. Film Criitics and Robert Redfords Sundance festival raved, as did Ebert and whoever replaced Gene Siskel. Two thumbs way up, they said about this piece of videographic crap. Remember that word. Crap. Well get beyond the metaphor later.
Timothy Treadwell, not his real name, was a surfer dude doin drugs and tellin folks he was an orphan from Australia. He said he wished he had been a homosexual so his sex life would have been less complicated. They can have sex anywhere, without emotional involvement. But he wasnt, so went to Alaska....(more!)

Timothy Treadwell, not his real name, was a surfer dude doin drugs and tellin folks he was an orphan from Australia. He said he wished he had been a homosexual so his sex life would have been less complicated. They can have sex anywhere, without emotional involvement. But he wasnt, so went to Alaska. There, he had sex with women stupid enough to join him in his tent in the Katmai Wilderness, until one day a bear ate him and her. In the meantime he hid in the bushes while taping bear hunters. Bear hunters who knew he was there (Alaska is the world's largest small town) did creepy Freddy Krueger things like draw happy faces on the rocks in Timothy's neighborhood. Ugly, eh? But, mostly, he taped himself, pretending to be alone. This is a parody, right?

A pile of bear crap. Look at what liberalism has been reduced to celebrating.

Why not give his real name? Was it Howard Dean, Jr.?

I love old men that have had enough.
Good mothers don't let their children grow up to be hippies. If you live on the Left Coast, and have pre-school children, run for the midlands. Hie thee to a place where hippies are treated abusively...
LOL. It is truly a shame that this environmental nut died. There are few clearer pictures of a political ideology actually being deadly than this.

Now that's a funny article. I saw parts of Grizzly Man on the Discovery channel last weekend. Treadwell was such a shrill, vapid, self-absorbed, mental and emotional trainwreck that I couldn't stand to watch all of it. At first I was trying to be somewhat sympatetic to this disturbed wretch, but after 30 minutes, I wanted to scream "just eat him already!"

He has a way with words.
Awards for Timothy are in order. Awards for the California surfer dude who went to Alaska and with his various women formed a non-profit organization whose funds helped him take one of them, Amie Huguenard, to Katmai where, along with him, she was eaten and turned into fresh and steaming bear crap.

If he was ate by a big bore (male grizz) would that make him a homo, looking for about an hour with a tower of power...or whatever that bear's name was???

he is a symbol for the American Left, a pack of idiots who, without the rise of the internet, talk radio and the alternative media, would still control the political instruments of this nation, and so still be leading America straight down through their fantasies to Hell

Larry Leonard definitely has a way with words, the above is a truism. :-)
