King Day

February 18, 2008|Richard Nikoley||

There are few things so loathsome to me as the idea of this "holiday."

Here’s a perspective adjustment. What was it, about 230 years ago that we kicked out the King? And we’ve been doing our level best to bring him back ever since. Kinda reminds me of the "being born from a vagina" joke (where we men spend the rest of our lives trying to get back in one).

    Let me get this straight – statism reminds you of vaginal intercourse with women? Presidents = pussy?

    Are you sure that's the analogy that you want to make?

    John:

    Do you often have trouble thinking through how the essential theme of one thing can resemble the essential theme of another thing, without the concretes or circumstances being anything alike?

    Perhaps you ought to take a literature course, or something.
