Ya know, the brazen efferontery of Book Man really astonishes me; this is why I suspect he is a closet Republican. Observe the sequence, here. I offered a funny line about Baathists and bathrooms, asking him if it reflected his philosophy. TO which all he had to say was, "No."

So I pointed out that such a pedestrian, unimiaginative, uncreative, uncolorful, plain-jane-vanilla Lutheran sort of answer was really not up to our quality standards for MOAB-class BS.

Which is perfectly true, I am sure you will agree.

To which his reponse was that my grip on reality was slipping.

Now, hopw brazen can a man get -- how insensitively ideological -- to come into the last Great Hallowed Haven of Pure BS and make remarks about people's grip on reality? This is something Bush would do!!!

Has he no sense of context, no sensitivity to our Mission, the strain and burden it places on our tired souls? Has her no respect for our brilliant imaginations, our soaring creative fires, our keen turn of wit? What sort of a drudge, I must ask you, IS such a man?

And he dares...he DARES...to imply that I am a bean counter!!!

Ten to one he votes for Voldemort.
