FW: [GCFL.net] Lesson in MarketingCharlie-boy, it was not a reference to or about me.  Before you mentioned her, I had never heard of Ms. Ann Coulter and when I googled her name, the first thing that popped up was a image with
NAZI
SLIME
DISEASE
written atop of her picture.  I read a few websites and gained a little understanding about who she is and who she has angered.  One was apparently a "close relative".  Sheesh.  It looks like people should avoid her like the plague.  Man, I don't think I want fame after all...
I am NOT a blonde.  Do you see who this is from on the e-mail heading?  "Red".  That's me.  And I have a temper(ment) to match.
Ignore my stupid human trick of trying to be humorous or in-the-know.  I am never abreast of current affairs and I am often too unpolished in my attempts at humor.
I would love to hear your blonde joke.  jeanenehea at comcast dot net  And by the way, there are millions more blondes on this earth than God ever created.  They are only blonde thanks to Clairol and friends.  I have a feeling that Scandinavians are smarter than bottle blondes!

  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.

      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?
