#1 What a poorly written and utterly incoherent load. Looks like somebody was a little too eager to dump on Bush and America and forgot to... make sense. I'm looking at you, Phil!

#2 I can honestly say I've never heard anybody bring [L.A.'s Jew content] up in conversation...

Oh, come on, Fred! You remember when W.F. Buckley called L.A. "Hymietown", and...er, wait. That wasn't L.A., it was New York. And it wasn't Buckley, it was---wait, wait, don't tell me. It's on the tip of my tongue...

...every hospital program – from Mash to Chicago Hope.

I can't watch M*A*S*H anymore. Every time Hawkeye goes into his "What good are we doing here? Are we helping these people?" song-and-dance, I remember the grass soup and the "special meat".

Phil Adams, you know, is the writer Tim Blair uses as a punching bag when Margo Kingston is away having her psyche waxed and buffed.

#3 My all-time favorite episode of the Simpsons is when Homer buys marge a bowling ball for her birthday; he is so sure she won't want it that he has his name engraved on it. Marge gets po'ed, takes the ball, flounces off to the bowling alley, and signs up for lessons with a handsome French (!) bowling instructor. They flirt, almost fall in love, and then Marge has to choose between passion and Homer. I cried when she left the Frenchman behind and went home to her family. It was so sweet.

#4 Fred, perhaps it would be more appropriate for you to call this gentleman "Mr. Adams?"

#5 My favorite was when Homer ran for office - promising that "someone else" would mow your lawn, clean your house, etc.

Great commets. You gotta almost feel sorry for guys like Mr. Adams...drowing in bitterness that the chest-thumping, white alpha males won't sitzspinkle upon their command.

#6 the luminaries who sing the songs, make the movies and draw the cartoons were crushed beneath the wheels of the Bush/Rove juggernaut.

Odd. Haven't seen any reports of deaths in their ranks...

As for the Flanders -- yeah, often his brand of over-the-top, "In Case of Rapture, Car Will be Unoccupied" religion gets mocked. But it's also shown as a source of strength and stability.

Besides, which character is supposed to be the sexiest man in Springfield? Flanders

#7 Guys like Adams make good pets. You just gotta slap 'em around once in awhile so they know their place is all. I'll bet Angie could use a driver, butler, foot massager, and occasional punching bag, eh Angie? Just grab a handful of this clown's hair and drag him for a block or two - he'll he begging for you to put panties on his head and a collar around his scrawny neck. The signs are all there, if you know what to look for...

Nah, I got a boyfriend already.

#9 I liked when Homer went to buy a pistol and was told there was a waiting period. He responded, "But I'm mad now!!"

#10 Hmmm. Even punching bag? We must differ on definitions, lol!

Okay, so rent him out to friends who are between "boyfriends", lol! Where's you entrepreneurial spirit?

#11 ...with its own axis of evil dominated by a Phil Ruddock lookalike who, consumed with greed, owns his own malfunctioning nuclear power station.

Phillip Adams, I will club you and EAT YOUR BONES!!!

#12 "Mr. Adams" is so formal. How about "Uncle Fester"?

#13 BTW Fred - reading "The Godfather Returns" - (written with Puzo's OK before his death) - fills in the spots in the saga - very entertaining

#15 As a reformed Druid I resent the attack on religion.

#16 #15 Formerly Dan: Since you're a Reformed Druid, does that mean you can worship bushes in addition to trees? ;-p

#18 GANDHI is quoted as saying that Man's greatest gift is his ability to improve upon himself - everyman HOMER never stops trying, plus he never stops trying while also not sacrificing his beliefs, howvever imperfect. He many times during his ventures compromises his beliefs or values, but in the end he never allows evil or wrong to be priority above doing righteousness - thats as RIGHTIST as anyone can get, even for a remembers-nothing doltish working dad with a super-liberal daughter like character LISA. Even LISA ran away from the environmentalists!?

#19 Many many Lefteies are actually RIGHTISTS - the Left, howvever, is still exploiting this by perverting or equating Leftism = Rightism, Socialism/Communism = Democracy-Capitalism, God and Christ = WIccans, Pagans, and Gaia-ianns, .............................@ in order to confuse the issues and espec American voters. As illustarted by Kerry's recent POST-CAMPAIGN anti-Bush/USA-isms, the Left is still out to discredit
and suborn America unto Socialist/Commie World Order and OWG. In the America of Dubya 2, Hollywood has taken the fight for the [PC]Clintons and DemsLeft, while around the world the International Lefts are discretely acting like O'Reilly's Betty Crocker-crats, the Party of Prudence, Pragmatism, and [motherly=patriotic]Protection and Planned/Managed Progressiveness [ala Stalin's PPPP]. The Failed Left is still promo itself as > "NEW/REAL GOP-RIGHT" whose NOT the GOP-Right, nor for GOP-Rightism nor for America! Kerry + Dean are going anywhere, a sure bet that Dubya-Cheney-GOP had better watch their six! The Left by 9-11 has forced, and is forcing, America to wage war for global empire - America must create Global Empire while not being allowed in the end to govern its new Empire!?

#20 I think what Jo is trying to say is that they grew up and became what they claimed to were fighting against.
