Maybe, but cats can play pianos.

"The TSA agent who checked me reached her hands inside my underwear and felt her way around. It was basically worse than going to the gynecologist. It was embarrassing. It was demeaning. It was inappropriate."

Is anyone else experiencing outrage fatigue? I've been lurking for days unable to summon up a comment.; 11/22/10, 6:02 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Ha ha ha. That kills me all over again. I was originally going to use a grand piano, but that would be ridiculous.; 11/22/10, 6:21 PM

Digital outrage is not as grand as magnetic outrage ;); 11/22/10, 6:37 PM

Glenn Reynolds is collecting an astonishing number of stunning comments from his readers, and he writes that "this is far from over."

Any animation with Tweetie Bird is a winner.; 11/22/10, 7:17 PM

reader_iam said...: How "Monty Python's Flying Circus." But that was then. This is now. Now is nothing like then. And this blog is nothing like that.

Unfortunately.; 11/22/10, 10:54 PM
reader_iam said...: Althouse is more John Lennon, especially the in-art-school John Lennon, he with his cruel sketches and obsessions with the flaws and etc. of others and pointing those out. Mercy was not in him. He later became a symbol of humanitarianism, of sorts, but only in that dumb-ass "Linus" way: "I love mankind. It's people I can't stand." Or whatever that quote was.

Now, on the other hand, Monty Python was *funny*, and in no small part because they could lampoon while still retaining a semblance of insight into and affection for their targets. And, I think (though I could absolutely be wrong), their personal goals were different.

Entirely different animals, they.; 11/22/10, 11:07 PM

While I'm at it, this is bullshit. It's a very popular conceit once again, but despite that no less a rotting carcass of a very old canard.; 11/22/10, 11:19 PM
