Feel the love!

I've got fans. Refresh for some of my best sayings. Couldn't have designed it better myself. (PS: I guess this was supposed to be some sort of insult, but I'm rather flattered instead. Sorry, guys.)

Update: bwahahahaha!

Any chance I can order the audio version?

Yeah, but who should I get to do my voice? (On tape I sound like Minnie Mouse with a cold.)

I'm jealous.

it reminds me of that Alanis Morissette video, 'You Ought to Know', where she gives her old boyfriend hell. I loved that – it’s fun to vent spleen every once in awhile..

The rest of the site was predictably boring (Chomsky, Moore, clueless about the ‘right wing’ in general). No surprises there.

No, you're wrong there, Andrea. It was meant to be a tribute, not an insult. I'm glad you like it -- xoxo.

Mary, I'm sorry you feel that way about my site b/c I'm not a leftist and I have no great love for Michael Moore.

hahaha...
You know what they say... There's no such thing as bad publicity.

It is a good graphic – and the site design is nice.

Sorry about the misinterpretation. I guess some things I read on your site, like:

"I realize I wouldn't be upset over things like this if I didn't hold liberals to a higher standard (right-wingers can spend all day making asses of themselves burning Dixie Chicks CDs for all I care)."

.. confused me. My mistake.

Minnie Mouse with a cold works for me.

Since I made a page using Andrea's comments out of context, I guess it's only fair that you would quote me out of context, too.

Party on.

Miss Anthropy - you got that right

Posted by: mary at May 15, 2003 at 02:03 PM

Andrea,

I do a mean James Earl Jones if you need a voice-over.

Posted by: JohnO at May 15, 2003 at 05:20 PM

A gracious leftist? Well, you're not long for that, the basic contradiction is a killer. (Don't pull that "I'm not a leftist" bullshit on me, either. I read your site. If you weren't a leftist, you wouldn't be holding them to a higher standard.)

I give this one 9 months or one riding lawnmower, whichever comes first, before she's a raving VRWC member.

Well, if want a reason to dislike Chomsky, how about his repeated defending of the Khmer Rouge, and downplaying their atrocities in Cambodia? There's strong evidence that he willfully ignored evidence when writing books about Cambodia, in order to ignore the mass murders. Nasty. Try googling for "Chomsky Khmer Rouge" and see what comes up.

Andrea,

The quotes are nice, but I REALLY like that dress. (The hairstyle too, but it seems kind of posed.)

John,

F*** that. Nobody needs a reason to hate Noam Chomsky. It's like alcoholism. If you need a reason, you have a problem.

In fact, failure to hate Chomsky is pathological. It's a disease. With apologies to Alcoholics Anonymous, here's a risk assessment to tell if you have a Chomsky hating problem.

1. Do you tell yourself your Chomsky-hating is under control, and it really is?

2. Are you okay with not hating Chomsky just a little bit, now and then, but you worry about having a big binge of not hating Chomsky?

3. Do your friends and family sometimes tell you that you should stop not hating Chomsky so much?

4. Have you ever forgotten to hate Chomsky as soon as you wake up, before big meetings at work, or with coffee?

5. Have you ever had a Chomsky-hating blackout, a long period where you can't remember hating Chomsky at all?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, please, please, seek help. Take two copies of "The New Criterion" and call Bill Buckley in the morning.

NOTE: While Absence of Chomsky Hate is a dread disease, two very similar diseases, Dearth of Michael Moore Hatred and Lack o' Ted Rall Antipathy are only rarely encountered outside Manhattan and Los Angeles.
