Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
tick... tick... tick...
BOOM!
Oh wait, you aren't Jonathan Larson.

And they're all adorable!
Oh wait, you aren't Jonathan Larson.
But she may be Will Smith. Is she shaking the room?
And they're all adorable!And soft and fluffy. Don't forget the soft and fluffy...
I, too, am adorable and soft... and arguably fluffy.
Yes you are.
Beware the polar bears.
If a polar bear eats me HE will explode.
BOOM! Shake, shake, shake the room?
I have to pack. I leave for Chicago tomorrow. And I have to be at work an hour earlier than usual. Which I think means I really need to leave even earlier so I can stop at Starbucks...
Tomorrow, I get trained in ETHICS! Apparently it's actually vaguely interesting, if a little bizarre in spots. Or so my coworkers told me ("what if you took ten pencils from the company to give to children who had none for school?" WTF?)
Is there something in the water? I just got the "they're conspiring against Christmas rant" from my mother, who neither listens to talk radio nor goes on the internet.
It is a well organized thing. And while I agree that the right in America is more anti-woman, anti-gay, and anti-muslim, etc. than anti-semitic - this particular attempt to stir up a new culture war IS primarily anti-semitic. The "War on Christmas" is not a new trope, going as I said back at least to Nazi supporter Henry Ford back in the 20's. And while it is no news that a number of right wingers are anti-semites, that is not usually their primary concern. This particular stirring of the pot is aimed specifically at Jews - with liberals, secularists, Muslims etc. being the secondary target. Because of support for Israel, the extreme right in this country has kept its anti-semitism under control for quite some time. Don't know why they decided to foreground that particular hatred of theirs now; but if you look at the particular phraseology and and code words being used, I think it is pretty clear that is what they are doing.
