[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

You'll have to fill me in on this Jeanene. What is the "Nazi Slime
Disease" a reference to? It's not something I said. Its not something
greenBubble said. It's not something you said. If you think it's
something I called you, I didn't. You are often wrong, unlike me, who
makes occasional mistakes just to remind myself that I'm not perfect, but
I have never referred to you in such insulting language. I have a vague
sense that perhaps those who make up the right and left wings of the
in-the-know, avante garde, intellectual elite, those infatuated with the
little boy in the white house and those who are too busy despising him to
make a credible effort at replacing him, are all quite familiar with Ms.
Coulter and expect the rest of us to know her entire biography, her
best-selling novels (if any), and which TV shows she has appeared on.
Same with those who spend 28 hours a day surfing the web while their
children starve to death. Sorry, she just doesn't rate that kind of
attention in my book.

Now, as to dumb blondes, I have always said that my only prejudice is a
fondness for dumb blonde jokes. (GCFL has some of the best, although
there is one really good one I haven't seen here yet.) I have always made
exceptions for present company, whoever that might be, because what is
amusing about any stereotype is that it never fits neatly every person
with the specific  characteristic described. If you happen to be blonde
(you haven't shared a photograph with the discussion group), consider
yourself excepted as present company. I enjoy dumb blonde jokes because
our culture, which we all consider degenerate for very different reasons,
exalts blondes, and in fact exalts blondes who show off their "good"
(?!?) looks and live off unearned income, without any reference to their
having a brain in their heads. (Joke told to me by a blonde woman, a
perfectly intelligent one: "What do you call a blonde with two brain
cells? Pregnant.") I know blonde doesn't define a person's intelligence.
Those with blonde hair who try to live up to the cultural stereotype are
the inspiration for dumb blonde jokes, just as those persons with a high
epidermal melanin concentration who try to live up to the worst
stereotypes of white supremacy are the inspiration for Chris Rock to
continue using language that would make his great-grandmother turn over
in her grave.

are asking for it!)

Speaking of which, did you see the tempest in a teapot over some dumb
blonde named Ann Coulter, or some name like that, announcing that she
wants to live in a nation where everyone is Christian, and the Jews are
perfected by becoming same?
