No. And I don't own a gun, either.
I do cling to religion, though.
I'm reminded of my late teenage years, going to Korte's Bar in Byesville, and playin' pinball. One night, this professional pinball player came in, looking for a game. I played. There was never any money on the table.
At one point, I went up to the bar to get a beer and Ann Korte (the matriarch of the place) sez to me something like, "Don't bet him; he's a pro." (I'm not quoting--I'm paraphrasing here--it was a couple of decades ago).
I come back with "Don't worry, Ann, I don't have any money anyway, but I'm playing the best pinball of my life."
I think we left about 14 free games on that machine, and many of them were my wins. The point is that you and PJ force me to raise my game.
Anyway, Byesville, Ohio is about as small town redneck as it gets. Seven churches and seven bars, last I counted.
She has been dumped by at least one well known writer. Currently she's on her third marriage. All three are to writers, IIRC. I don't know if she was dumped by her first husband, but she was very famously dumped by her second husband Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame.
She wrote a bestseller, Heartburn in which she claimed to have dumped him, but since he had been carrying on with various women for some time, she was clearly the de facto dumpee. The book was reworked into a truly unwatchable movie with Jack Nicholson and (who else?) Meryl Streep.
Like Grand and Funk Railroad or Jimmy Walker she's gotten a lot of mileage out of a very limited talent.
Soooo, how's that “identity politics” thing working out for you, ma'am?
Sounds like it's gonna be a rough three months on the ol’ campaign trail for whoever “wins” the Dem nomination, kissin’ all those white babies and slappin’ all those white backs.
Party of minorities = minority party
...and dig this: I collaborated on a project with Nora Ephron, sort of. Both of our six word memoirs appeared in the book "Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Authors Famous and Obscure," selected out of over 11,000 entries. Mine was "School geek married a luscious cheerleader" and hers was...well, before I tell you what she wrote, perhaps I should share this quote from her Huffer Post opus:
white men cannot be relied on, as all of us know who have spent a lifetime dating them.
Now that you've read that, now you can drink in the irony. Her six word memoir was "Secret of life: Marry an Italian."
That's odd--I was under the impression that Italians were white men.
Get your own beer. She's too busy ironing my shirts.
Take a gander at my 28, posted before I read your 7. Great minds...
Bubba has two but they are small. Reno has lotsa meato Crap, can't come up with the last line.
Well, she may be on her third marriage but it’s been 20 years, so it’s sticking better than most marriages in Hollywood.
Garlic-nosed white men.
YOU can't spell Wittenberg . . . period!
It's a typical white mountain, not a typical white fortress!
Shouldn't that be hussein obama's line?
"Excuse me while I whip this out."
So! Tell us. Just when did you dump her? :)
[It's about whether DEMOCRATS hate blacks or women more. All the HillAryans are racists, and all the Obambats are sexists!]
It's about whether DEMOCRATS hate blacks or women more, because the Operation Chaos warriors are keeping Hill in the race.
[Oh, I forgot: Only WHITE MEN can be racist or sexist! And apparently, white men do not qualify as "people."]
I am a white man and wouldn't vote for either one because they are LIBERALS. You get that Dora?
[How do you figure, Nora? If they vote for Hillary, they're racist. If they vote for Barry, they're sexist. They're biased either way!]
Hey Dora, would you vote for Alan Keyes? He is a black man and I voted for him in the Texas primary.
How about Condi Rice? She is a black female - both of your bias allegations. I'd bet you would never vote for her. You wouldn't vote for Ann Coulter either, would you Dora?
[WOO-HOO! White men rule!!]
Thanks Charles. I knew there would be at least one DUFU editions about this after Rush talked about this yesterday.
Love it!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
That’s priceless!
The thing is, I didn't even know Rush talked about it yesterday. Didn't catch the show. But I was looking for a thread to put my parody with, and I came across Nora's diary on HUffPo.
