On the 26th I read an email, "Become a Scottish Laird"; it's one of those eco-scams. At one time there was a different, amusing scam, where 1 sq inch lots in Hell were sold; now there's something I could afford to visit once in a while. I guess some would argue that there's already a lot in Hell, and likely to be a lot more in the future. But anyway, it turns out the good people of Hell have started Damnation University. Here in western Michigan Hope College and Calvin College are archrivals, so it would only stand to reason that Dam U should have to face off with a Perdition College. No, I haven't looked, or there'd probably be a live link there. ;')
Hell seems like a great place to start a blues joint that serves ribs and of course alcohol. All the tableware could be shaped like pitchforks, and nubile young girls in red sparkly devil catsuits could gyrate in cages suspended in the eating area. Throw in an Indian casino and we're there.
Michigan is the envy of all other states, because we also have Paradise. And in the same genre (at least to many people) is Climax. I saw a comedian onetime who claimed that while driving to the gig with his wife, they spotted the 1-mile-to sign for that town, and his wife said, "great, we'll finally get there at the same time."
Of course, one could point out that, with the incompetent demagogue, liar, crook, and carpetbagger Jenny Grandstand in the governor's mansion -- thanks again to all anti-DeVos trolls here on FR, and all those who claim Michigan is just a socialist has-been, for contributing to that -- the whole state is turning into Hell.
My reference to Hell, Michigan in the November 27th entry was going to segue' into all that, but I figured it had gone on long enough. So has this.
A good way to get banned may be to advocate for Rudy or even to advocate for a 'wealth tax'. The wealth tax sounds like a mighty useless idea.
But I will vote for the eventual Republican nominee, no matter who that is.
I'm pretty sure that bugs some people, but I don't care.
One thing I do understand is dealbreakers, and that's something that seems to motivate a lot of anti-thisguy and anti-thatgirl carpers. Put simply, one issue (if lucky, otherwise a handful of issues, and if very unlucky, dozens to hundreds of them) is of such overriding importance that such a voter won't support a given candidate, irrespective of all other stands on all other issues. That's the kind of lack of circumspection (for that matter, introspection) that results in the election of someone who such a voter can't support due to pretty much anything.
It's a form of immaturity, hot-headedness, or let's just say stupidity. My view is that such a voter is fairly rare, regardless of the related noise and troll activity. Mostly I regard online manifestations as troll behavior, just to give people the benefit of the doubt -- y'know, doubt as to whether they're stupid.
Don't get dragged into Hell by such a troll. Trust me, you don't want to live there. And remember, you don't have to.
Defeat Hillary, now and in the future. Join me for the Million Minutemen March, Summer 2008!! -- Sybeck1 *
