  1. Ya know Benson, not for nothing, but you make yourself look like a raving idiot accusing us of anti-Catholic and anti-Italian bias, because anyone can simply scroll up and see nothing of the kind in any of our posts. Anti Catholic???? Religion never even came up at all. It’s YOUR issue, not mine. I was raised Catholic, my mother was more Catholic than the Pope, and I am not interested in Catholic or Italian bashing on a blog. Everyone here knows better, so trying to conjure up some kind of bias is really reaching. It’s really sad when you have to turn a purely political discussion into some kind of self absorbed crusade.

  2. benson- I didn’t say anything about them so go blow your hot air up someone else’s skirt. I can just see you seething all day over a fantasized slight to Italians and Roman Catholics and obsessively searching for anything- anything!- to toss out there for your desired gotcha! moment. Have you seen a doctor about this? You should.

    As for making an issue with MM about the -as you put it- Eye-talians or Roman Catholics, you project your paranoia and biases onto everyone else. You sound ridiculous.

  3. Um, Montrose, CH, Arkady and Bxgrl;

    I think the next time you are ready to condemn two Supreme Court Justices for not showing up at a State of the Union address, I think you ought to do some fact-checking first.

    Here is a blurb from your beloved NYT:

    Weeeellllll, what do you know? It turns out that THREE justices weren’t in attendance. The third was none other than John Paul Stevens. Funny how you only noticed that Justices Thomas and – what’s that Eye-talians name? – oh yes, Alito, were missing. Well, good try in spinning it to smack around the two “illogical” (read: devout Roman Catholic) justices.

    Moreover, it seems that in years past, often only ONE justice (Bryer) would attend the snorefest.

  4. Wow Joe!!

    I think you just had a Tyler Durden moment there.

    You were like that scene where that guy is beaten to a bloody pulp and everyone’s standing there in stunned silence,

    Tyler asks : “…where did you go?”

    and he responds:

    “…I wanted to breath smoke.
    I wanted to burn the Lourve. I’d do the Elgin Marbles with a sledge-hammer and wipe my ass with the Mona Lisa. This is my world, now.”

    wait ’till they read that one over tomorrow morning.
