Thanks Eric,for being fairminded.I do admit I can be a major jerk at times myself.As far as being racist,homophobic,or xenophobic,they’re retarded attitudes,which I don’t subscribe to.Actually,being white in my family makes me a minority.
I do try to find humor in many situations.There are some which are devoid of it,such as when children are hurt or victimized.
One of the reasons I like this blog is that you never know what to expect-it’s not all politics all the time.
I like to post on anchorrising,kmareka,and here.I guess I’m eclectic.
Okay-here goes-David Segal finally put through a good bill-the probation reform.Long overdue.

Easy guys, we’re all jerks here, okay? Calling someone a racist is serious shit, and not to be taken lightly. Mr. Bernstein, whose comments can be at times contentious and very funny, has never shown any indication of being racist or homophobic, and although his personal politics are probably on the conservative side, I don’t think xenophobia is one of his ‘things’ either. He has strong opinions and we won’t be censoring them in any way (we’ve never felt the need to anyway)

So, jwest, ease up there a bit, okay?

So what are you, then, if you aren’t a xenophobe? A bigot? A racist? Personally, I’m fine with ‘jerk’.

Still calling me a xenophobe?You can change your “name” but you’re still a jerk.

Darnit, forgot to change my name back after goading that xenophobe a few months ago.

Yumm… Sprecher. They also make excellent beers, but, this being Rhode Island, you can’t get them here.

If you haven’t already, try Harpoon’s Root Beer. You can get it at Shaws.

And if you’re ever in northwestern NH, look for the Woodstock Inn & Brewery’s Root Beer. They sell it in jugs and it’s awesome. You don’t have to get it at the brewery, it’s available in some of the stores around there as well.
