26 at work, almost time to go
re: #3 Another devastating, sizzzling zinger from Grant! And sounds about right. ;)— April 12, 2010 4:33 p.m.
26 at work, almost time to go
I don't usually comment on that stuff, quilly, but good loooord...— April 12, 2010 4:32 p.m.

I am so pissed! "The sad is obvious: The intell[i]gence level of some readers seems to be whatever is equivalent to that of a small, gullible child." Exactly. With the exception that small gullible children are at least eager to learn. I tried to help out by writing a blog that patiently brought to the surface the double nature of Mencken's figurative language, but looks like San Diegans just can't take anything more figurative than Dr. Seuss-- --oh wait--Dr. Seuss's metaphors were political in nature too! --and none too kind to figures in power of the last several decades. Were the Reader to reprint his work, even more a**holes would clamor for plain disclosure--because now we'd be dealing with an even more difficult set of translations of subtext--between image and word. Instead, we encase these metaphorically rich images in prophylactic glass over at Geisel, where people can enjoy the cute drawings from a safe distance--protected from their subversive content on the stupidity of the American government and its military war machines...— April 12, 2010 1:15 p.m.

The Chula Vista kidnapping of Eddy Tostado by Arellano cartel
I care, but am not knowledgeable on the topic of kidnappings in Mexico. So I await further commentary from those qualified to weigh in. Visduh, did you have a comment then, or are you in my position?— April 12, 2010 12:51 p.m.

"I do agree that Blanca is a choice food lovers should make if they are in Solana Beach. However, something a little less wordy would make me more inclined to dine there again." Huh? Really? Aside from your strange 'inclination' of eating only at restaurants briefly reviewed, you appear to have not yet developed a taste for the wonderful deliciousness and fun of Naomi's food metaphors. Try picking up some food writing, and see if you can whet your appetite with the wickedly wordy MFK Fisher...— April 12, 2010 2:22 a.m.
Do you like your name?
Agreement with #4, but would almost trade with #1. Lovely name, CF. Too bad you can't enjoy it!— April 12, 2010 1:12 a.m.
Spare Me
re: #16: That was sheer facetiousness on my part, dear. I would never ask that question of you, and knew exactly what you meant with the post office reference--as did our AG, another paragon of facetiousness ;)— April 9, 2010 11:57 p.m.
As You Sow, So Shall Your Reaper
More like this, you mean? ;) "Her sexy, full lips were still painted lightly with my semen as she whispered "But I love you," her perfect olive-skin tightening as the final death rattle..."— April 9, 2010 11:51 p.m.
Political Ballooning
Good one :) A sad part of the current climate is the proud, irrational anti-intellectualism. Sucks to watch that balloon readying to rise up and away, families all snuggly together in the sunset, watching the balloon, fueled by the gasses of family values and tethered tight to gut action, transport over the bend of consciousness that last sliver of guilt over not having even attempted to figure out what went wrong with education in this country...— April 9, 2010 10:46 p.m.
