And That’s How I Got Worms

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

I’m sitting in bed with my wife, blogging. My cat is eating my ice cream, which is one of the reasons I have intestinal parasites.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Speaking of parasites, I’m very put out by the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who said this week that Israel should be wiped from the map.

I think we should all be encouraged by the unanimous and strong denunciations of this statement by the rest of the Islamic world, except that they haven’t said a damn thing.

Like most unpatriotic non-Republicans, I’m actually in favor of trying to get along with everyone, as long as they’re interested in doing the same. But this is over the top. The Muslim world is really starting to piss me off. Oh, I know, the Christian world has done many terrible thing over the years. But we’ve also done a lot of good, too. We’ve brought universities, hospitals and Brittany Spears to other parts of the world for hundreds of years. Name one good thing that Muslims have given the rest of the world. Other than our system of numbers. And harem pants.

All I know is that the blogging community won’t sit quietly. Oh no. We will blog about this. We will say many nasty things about Mr. Ahmadiwhatever and his stupid backwards country. And they will be very, very sorry.

Here’s the funniest one I’ve found, so far: SamanthaBurns.

The majority seem to be right-wing political blogs. Why is that? Blogs, Talk Radio, Ham Radio …. Congress …. The White House …. uh oh ….
