Do you feel like watching a video? I kind of feel like watching a video.
Well, that was certainly educational. Now get the hell out of my house.

Jerry: "Check it out, I got these at an auction last week. Jerry Lewis wore these in Cinderfella."
George: "You could have just borrowed my cufflinks."
Jerry: "No, you don't understand. Jerry Lewis is going to be at this Friar's Club roast I'm going to. Now I'll have an in to talk to him."
George: "You already have in. You have the same first name."
Jerry: "Oh, yeah, I'm sure he'll find that intriguing."
George: "Well, it worked last week when I met George Peppard."
Jerry (confused): "George Peppard has been dead for years."
George (voice rising): "Well, whoever he was, he knew a lot about The A-Team!"
You know, I'm just not certain I'm ready for Bob Marley healing right now. Still a little stuck on "Circulate this to everyone you know." I merit a smear campaign for defending what I wrote?
Oh, no, right: I merit that for my ageism. We all recall how often I tell Jill Filipovic to mind her elders, or how often I tell the Valenti sisters they're too young to know what they're talking about. Or how much I brag on what a smart kid I was.
Some young people are smart. And some young people get stuck in a love of the abstract and the theoretical, wanting to make humanity fit theory instead of making theory fit humanity.
I am not a data point. The women I know are not data points. And I don't give a fuck what "cunt" means in Old English, Thai, or Tagalog. I give a fuck how it's applied to women today in the American idiom.
That you and zuzu and Auguste went over and took up for me cheered me up, though. When I mentioned it initially, I hadn't actually read it--I was just cracking up over the title.
Nezua wrote a great piece for International Women's Day, though. That has cheered me up some, too.
Can we clone him? Would that be cloneist?

He's being a total asshole. Even if you were ageist*, one comment on one blog does not merit having you smeared on a wide variety of blogs.
*BTW, he's totally changed the meaning of that word anyway. Age, as a defined class that is discriminated against, is those over the age of 40. He doesn't qualify. I do, and I have to say, you were so totally not discriminating against those of us over the age of 40.
Bob Marley is going over better today. Sleep: It makes a difference!
I'm afraid I'm not getting this "Circulate this to everyone you know" business. The last time I heard this phrase, it was in an email from Lyndon LaRouche (still don't know how I got on that list). Have you run afoul of the LaRouchies?

Not quite. Paul Deignan in training pants, I think that's how Clarke suggested I refer to him.
Well, okay, I added the training pants part. Man, this ageism is tough to kick!
