Doctor,

Did you notice that Prof. P.'s blog entries about us have been transferred over to patheos.com? LOL.

Droopy's rant reminded me of this gem from 1964:

“For the civil rights movement in the United States, with all of its growing agitation and riots and bitterness, and insidious steps towards the appearance of a civil war, has not been infiltrated by the Communists, as you now frequently hear. It has been deliberately and almost wholly created by the Communists patiently building up to this present stage for more than forty years.”

I knew that he'd moved to Patheos, but I wasn't aware that he was posting about us. Has he been doing that? Last I looked, his entries dealt almost entirely with his travels. He probably wants to keep things low-key in the wake of the recent events.

Another eerily similar quote from 1964 about the Civil Rights Act:

"It is a bill to make the heavy, incompetent, arrogant federal government a Hitler master of this country."

I found if I read Mr. Droopy's posts in John Wayne's voice it makes sense. I'm not kidding.

Droopy's post is a model of even-handed cogency compared to the rants of Rush Limbaugh on his show today. I listened out of curiosity, and he was completely unhinged. Limbaugh actually said that as a result of the decision today, government bureaucrats will be empowered to deny your grandmother health care services if they find out she didn't vote for Obama. He also said somebody "must have gotten to Roberts." Just when you thought the conservatives' grip on the rope of reality couldn't get any more tenuous, they let go entirely.

Is that an Ezra T. Benson quote?

No, that's not what I am saying. His old entries about us have been brought over to the new site. I thought he might excise some of the more bizarre material when he migrated to a more well-traveled website. Apparently not. LOL!!!
