Misc. Hate
A Mustiphino has been spotted wandering the halls of Congress. The deranged babblings of an SPLC apparatchik inspired me to coin the word hatefact . Hatefacts are unquestionable facts about immigrants , blacks , women , homosexualists , et al., that the SPLC and those sharing its ideological inclinations deem “hate” or “hateful” to mention. UPDATE: It seems I unwittingly stole the idea for the word hatefact from Peter Brimelow, who used the term “hate facts” in a speech last November .
Marginalia
Crying racism is the first refuge of the moron. Libertarianism is applied autism. If, as immigrationists often claim, the economy benefits so much from low skill workers, why continue to spend money educating native born Americans? Think of the economic boom to result if we stopped funding high schools and colleges in order to increase the homegrown pool of unskilled labor. I dream that someday in the far future the lost art of minstrelsy will be revived. Last time I was in a Las Vegas casino I noticed the hookers were dressed less whorish than the female tourists. Horse betting isn't gambling, it's pari-mutuel wagering. Successful betting requires knowledge, intellect, and the ability to evaluate and take risks. One learns that reality is too complex to be reduced to a mechanical system. It's a gentleman’s sport, of great tradition.

Astonishing and abominable as always. I shall certainly have to promote it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about the Google ads.

Or try mold and fungus - sometimes people address me as "Moldy," and Gmail always produces the most appalling advertisments.
Thanks for the support, maybe I'll make an effort to throw stuff up over there.
ReplyDeleteThe ads are a joke, they make the whole thing more vulgar. I wonder about the blog ads. I've never clicked on a blog ad link. I asked around, and no one I know has either. Strange, isn't it? Who is clicking all these links?
Relentless vulgarity is the great theme of our era, and your unscientific little "survey" is about as statistically significant as Pauline Kael's social circle. The great unwashed are out there. They clamor in the streets, they pound on our doors, they harass our women with lewd and unpunished slurs, they click on blog ads. But probably not on our blog ads.
ReplyDeleteI am sad to say that, in my opinion, no attempt to parody vulgarity can succeed. At least not in the graphic-design department. I am amused by the idea of clicking directly over to, say, Obama - perhaps Ted Nelson's two-way Web would really find some utility in this context - but not enough to make me want to look at little fine-printy squiggles, which my medulla has spent the last five years trying to learn to ignore.
