(From my brand-spankin' new blog The Balderdashery...)
Okay, well I think it's a pretty commonly accepted truism that the guaranteed way to endear oneself to a new crowd of people is to walk into the room and launch immediately and without preamble into a political rant. Right? Right. Okay, so...
I wasn't really planning on hauling out the ol' soapbox this soon, though anyone who knows me could have told you that some political screeds were inevitable. But this load of self-righteous horseshit over the so-called "Mosque at Ground Zero" is snowballing into utter insanity, and I've got a bit of spleen in dire need of venting over the whole thing.
