Sarcasm run amok

I couldn't help writing this on the Yahoo discussion board about an article on the Alito nomination.

Subject: But he saved Christmas!

My minister told me that Judge Alito saved Christmas. How could we possibly expect better than that?

Mr. Turley seems to think that it's "okay" to question our betters. Shame on you, Mr. Turley! The President worked hard to come up with the best man for the job. You should be put in jail, because you're just helping the terrorists!

Writing for newspapers is a privelege, not a right. Why don't you write about something uplifting or informative? Like the Democrat scandals in Congress? That's something we all need to know about.

What do you think - too much?

Here's a followup from another Alito article, "Alito recognizes right to privacy".

Subject: Alito recognizes right to privacy
"Yes, that's the right to privacy. Hold it still and I'll stomp it to death for you."

I'm very sarcastic today.

They Might Be Fun

Sebastian's a huge They Might Be Giants fan. So am I, of course.

So it was inevitable that he'd get some TMBG stuff for Christmas.

He already listened to a lot of their adult music. Of course, there's something about even their "adult" music that was always childlike, in the best sense of the word. But when I saw a while ago that they'd done an album for kids recently, I was interested.

But I didn't follow it up until shortly before Christmas. Then I found out that not only had they released an album for kids called No!, but also a DVD in conjunction with Disney (!) called Here Come the ABCs, and a combination book/CD called Bed Bed Bed.

We haven't given him Bed Bed Bed yet (we're waiting for a special occassion), but I I can tell you that No! and Here Come the ABCs are just as good as their albums for grown-ups.

But you don't have to take my word for it. No! is a computer-enhanced CD, and there's a promo for a few of the songs (with fun clickable animation) here. Give it a try! My favorite is "Robot Parade" (it's Sebastian's favorite, too).
