WHITE RAGE (Norman Mailer Drivel)

July 10, 2003 -- LOUDMOUTHED literary lion Norman Mailer is still whining that we waged war on Iraq to assuage the white male ego. "There were other factors for using our military skills, minor but significant," he writes in the New York Review of Books. "These reasons return us to the ongoing malaise of the white American male." Mailer's theory - which he's been rewording and republishing in every forum that will tolerate him - is that the war was fought, in part, because black men are better at sports. "We white men were left with half of tennis (at least its male half), and might also point to ice hockey, skiing, soccer, golf (with the notable exception of the Tiger), as well as lacrosse, track, swimming, and the World Wrestling Federation," he gasses. "If we could not find our machismo anywhere else, we could certainly count on the interface between combat and technology . . . We knew we were likely to be good at it."

Pink Rage.

(Two rounds with this tired old coot, and he'd be kissing my shoelaces)

You know the old saying...two hits, me hitting him, etc. Perhaps he's not sure if he feels good about being a white male, but I can assure him, I do.

Two?

Hey, I'm out of shape. <|:)~

[The KG9 Kid]

Here... Use my San Francisco Giants souvenir bat that I got on 'Bat Day'.

[martin_fierro]

My understanding of said bats is that they can only inflict harm when jammed forcibly in one's rectal defilade. Hmmm.

OTOH, I would pay ca$h money to see "Mr. Macho" Mailer get his harp ass kicked in an Ultimate Fighting match. Oh my, yes. That's entertainment.

[tkathy]

All the white males in my life are just fine, thanks. And they are not particularly sports obsessed (except for football and Tiger Woods).

[ricpic]

How much you wanna bet Mailer hasn't been able to find his "machismo" for decades.

Norman Mailer, Drivel

You're repeating yourself.

[RWG]

That's all you have left--fantasy. The supreme court approves of racism against you white guys. Women reject you so they can have vagina monologues. The courts keep your children away from you. And at least 10% of you are as queer as a 3 dollar bill. We fight because we have already lost.
