I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, **Clothahump,** but you are **very highly unusual** in America in combining paleoconservatism with atheism and anti-clericalism. Maybe you should ask yourself why that is. (There are plenty of Libertarian atheists, but, N.B., you are **not** a Libertarian though you might so self-identify; you are a paleoconservative.) ---

It couldn’t hurt. Odelay is _not_ a word. (C’mon, I can’t be the only one to interpret the title that way, can I?) Oh, and “Devil’s Haircut?”. 'Nuff said. ---

> [@SleepyDuck](#): > > It couldn’t hurt. > > Odelay is _not_ a word. > > (C’mon, I can’t be the only one to interpret the title that way, can I?) No, that’s what I thought too. I was thinking I’d missed out on some shocking new hit single or celebrity sex scandal or something. ---

Yes, and his target is making up inlfamiotry bullshit for money. He’s dead on that target alright. ---

I often wonder if I’d be able to take a job like that at Fox when I didn’t believe any of their shit. On one hand, you’re propagating falsehoods and fearmongering, but on the other hand, the only people who’ll be swayed are the idiots who believe it in the first place. I think I’d be ok with selling poop to idiots for $25 mil or whatever a year. Especially if I can quit the show down the road once I’m set for life and then write articles about how stupid all the people who believed in my fearmongering are.
