First, a moonbat is not something you want to be, even in Arlington, where they have begun selling T-shirts that say, “Menotomy Moonbats.”

I don’t own the word “moonbat,” but I have had custody of it for a good long while now, and there are a couple of misconceptions I’d like to clear up.
First, a moonbat is not something you want to be, even in Arlington, where they have begun selling T-shirts that say, “Menotomy Moonbats.” Hey moonbats, lose the bat logo. Truth in advertising requires you to put on the front of your moonbat shirts a photo of Sen. Jim Marzilli, your hero, the perv in a Prius, with these words underneath:
“Sen. Marzilli Groped Me and All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt.”
Instead, they try to redefine the word itself into a positive. As one Arlington moonbat told the Arlington Advocate, “A ‘moonbat’ is someone who’s willing to be a little bit of a dreamer.”
His dream, our nightmare.
Second, despite what you may have heard Friday morning on the Fox News Channel segment that I was on, there is no such thing as a “right-wing moonbat.” Some Air America type was just trying to give me the needle. Right-wing moonbats? That’s an oxymoron, like “sober judge” or “law-abiding illegal alien.”
Whoever says “right-wing moonbat” is full of guano.
For those who came in late, moonbats are trust-funded, medicated, middle-aged, white-guilt-ridden blogging lefty losers who inflicted Deval Patrick upon the working people. The moonbats now yearn to elect Sen. Barack Obama, a Deval on steroids.
If you are a guy with a ponytail, chances are you’re a moonbat - if you have a wide-brim leather hat too, the odds rise to 100 percent. If you’re a woman and you bring knitting to public meetings, consider yourself positively ID’ed.

You might be a moonbat.
Ruh roh. How about crochet?
One way might be when someone "mentions" it to you?
Cute!
Awwww. He’s kinda cute actually :)
He forgot: When a question is asked of you, you immediately change the subject to the “billions wasted in Iraq”, or “Bush Lied”
That sentence describes 75% of people over 45 years of age living in Austin, Texas and 95% of UT students.
95% of UT students are middle-aged? That’s novel!

Great column. I too was waiting to see all of the moonbat comments. Oh wait, the trust fund crowd doesn't get up this early. Keep up the good work Howie.
No, 95% of the students at UT are moonbats.
If the veggie bin in your fridge contains anything that say “ORGANIC!” and you paid 3 times the normal price for carrots, you be a moonbat!
forgive the grammar...I BE HUKED ON FONIKS
Makes me think of this...
If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.
Winston Churchill
And you drove them home in your Volvo.
Howie Carr bump.
Does lazy-stitch beadwork count?
Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill had it correct too. Problem in Austin is that the ove 45 crowd has no brains. Look who they elect to the "silly" council and local politicians i.e. DA ronnie earle and the like.
Not being a Bostonian, I was unfamiliar with this term “menotomy.” I thought what might have been meant was “metonymy,” but then I see that it refers to Arlington, MA.
