Retraction for Scott Brown and Others. Almost.

To be honest, even the best, well researched blogs make mistakes or take things out of context.  This blog is not one of those, so mistakes and exaggerations are pretty much its stock and trade. Still.

One reader (or 20%)  was upset with my near-smearing of Near-Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts.  So maybe I smudged him a little.  If this is a retraction, it is only because this reader has a brother who is a lawyer.

Here goes:  Apparently, Brownie did not draft an entire law designed to redirect rape victims to atheist euthanasia centers, or maybe France, for morning-after pills.  It was just a lame amendment that even didn't make it into a bill and didn't really involve UPS.  And no, Brownie did not drive in to vote today in a brown truck; it was green.

There was no mandated phase-in and you never would have had to worry about Jewish or Muslim doctors frantically checking their iPhones and Blackberries for guidance on treating Swine Flu, which is now h1n1 Chest Syndrome anyway (isn't that like dreaming up "venison" to replace "Bambi Meat" on 1950's menus?).  "C"hristian triage nurses would not have simply culled out infidels, the way they do scrapes, colds, broken legs and the uninsured.

And then there is Rev. Pat Robertson.  I was a tad harsh in the Orlando comment.  After some research I should have done before smudging Pat, I found that the whole gay concern involving Disney World goes back way before that gay first pride parade.  I think it started with Tinker Bell, who should have been called a faerie.  Tink was actually a really tiny but decidedly female with a great figure and legs to go with it (wouldn't she look good on a 55 inch screen?).  She also had wings that could out hum a hummingbird.  (I said wings.)  This was all long before parades were even invented.

On the other hand, I seem to recall that Florida had never, ever been hit with a really big hurricane before that parade.

So, retractions and apologies all around, especially, you, Brownie.

And that Massachusetts end-of-health-care election is pretty much over.

  1. I'm still not happy. And I had to read it three times to realize it! You are on crazy dude.

  2. I thought I had struck a nice humble pose. I'll have to practice that some more.
