The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Thoughts after the election

    Tonight, while I was at a bookstore and again while I was washing dishes, I mulled the events of the past week and was thankful that America rejected the bully.

    As I was thinking of this, I was also thinking of how to remind people that Romney is a bully, and a blood-heir to the bullying politics of the GOP.

    I almost decided to post about his bullying of a gay fellow student, the story that made no small amount of ripples a few months past. Or maybe that story about the 47% crowd?

    After all, we are repeatedly told how our memories are all flawed, right? And how short is our attention span! Barely that of a gnat, if some are believed.

    Thankfully, GOP bullies are not shy about reminding us what we are.

    So, since most of you have already heard, or read, the latest story about us according to the prep-school and bully elite, I can leave off reminding you with a rehash of past verbal, and physical, abuse.

    Oh and 'they' are not stopping this incessant bullying, as you call it.

    Guys like Frum at the Beast and a few others are screaming bloody murder at the repub bullies; make no mistake about it.

    But right now most of the repubs I have been reading about and viewing on cable are just ranting on and on about how the dems stole the election, about how the dems curtailed voting (when all voting curtailment was voted into law by repubs! and we were only saved by court orders)

    Oh well...

    Sticks and stones as they say.

    WE WON! ha

    Gee, so you're going to get hair-on-fire about an incident that supposedly happened when Romney was a teen some 50 years ago?

    Do you think perhaps you might make a good target for Democratic propaganda?

    Election's over, your side won, might as well stop playing patsy at least on this issue.

    Your style reminds me of the excessively common self-contrived internet short-bus contraption: a sort of single-occupant tricycle-shaped drive-by insult-mobile that runs on methane. You seem to have added the usual speaker to your exhaust pipe; so nothing new IME.

    Carry on, then.

    Ow, man, you're totally hurting me. BTW, where's the obligatory Seamus the dog ref?
