    In reply to Outrage-Off: Tennessee Mayor Charlie Brown Jesus vs. Fox News
    I am amazed that no one has mentioned that Arlington is the home of the largest developmental mental health facility in West Tennessee.

    There is this thing called 'founder's effect'. Look it up.

    Just as I thought, the voting's not even close.

    The Fox outrage was actually committed years ago, when they lambasted the guy for telling the truth. What they did more recently is perfectly fine. I mean, hypocritical in context, but not particularly outrageous, especially since it's just so par for their course.

    Whereas if this TN mayor is actually for real, Jesus is hurling as we speak.

    Prevented from watching the Peanuts Xmas Special, I must conclude that Jesus wasn't The Son O' God. If the news pre-empts the Year Without a Santa Claus , I might even lose faith in the existence of a Heat Miser.

    @iplaudius: @Lysergic Asset: Great calls. And yet there's so much more! — there's the Magi connection (I mean, is the mayor bringin' the myrrh?) and the fact that Wiseman is typically a Jewish surname, is it not?

    I swear, this is just comedy gold. And comedy frankincense.

    @AzureTexan: Yep, that's what I meant about "blowing the Christian supremacy thing" - I had a good friend with that last name and I attended her bat mitzvah. Of course, now I see that this troglodyte is also blowing the Christian supremacy thing with his abject stupidity.

    Of course, what he really meant to say was, "I resent this brilliant black man who somehow became President, because he doesn't have a slave name, he's half white and he demonstrates the best "practice what you preach" principles of the God I pretend to follow. His excellence constantly reminds me that I am noting more than a self-loathing Jew who will never amount to more than mayor of a town made up of 3000 card carrying members of the KKK."

    @Lysergic Asset: Yes, I read your "Christian supremacy" comment slightly differently than you had intended, but the point — both points, re: supremacy — still hold.

    As for the KKK: I'm sure Arlington, like any place, has some great people, but yes indeed, it's just a couple hundred miles from Pulaski, Tennessee, birthplace of the Klan.

    I keep hoping we've left that history behind, but it keeps rearing its pointy-white-hooded head, doesn't it.

    @AzureTexan: As I said, I think the fact that Obama's mother is white and the fact that he has an African name - in other words, his family was not owned by any of the ancestors of the white right-wingers who so loathe him - are the things that are most viscerally agonizing to the racists.

    Please check this out for some comic relief: it's The Daily Show's Larry Wilmore talking to kids about the fact that whites will be a minority in the U.S. by 2050. Sooo funny! [www.thedailyshow.com]

    Didn't Tiger's mistress also have a fling with Derek? His taste in women are just as questionable as Tiger's. I'll give Jeter this, at least he has the good sense not to get married. He can chase all the tail he wants and keep his millions. Why give all that up just to project a happy, family man image?

    burning questions:

    2)what made Gretchen's dress vomit all over her sleeve?

    3)why is there a marble pedestal for a seemingly thinner looking marble pedestal?

    I am one of the world's biggest Yankee fans and a fan of Derek Jeter but he never says anything of substance and his life is not "lived perfectly" but rather choreographed to look as if it is.

    I could stand in for him in his post-game interviews which are completely content-free and repetitive.

    Jeter does the image thing. Who knows what he's really like? We just know what his PR is really like. Perfect.

    I like Arod not despite his foibles but because of them.
