Bad Writing Contest

"Folks say that if you listen real close at the height of the full moon, when the wind is blowin' off Nantucket Sound from the nor' east and the dogs are howlin' for no earthly reason, you can hear the awful screams of the crew of the "Ellie May," a sturdy whaler Captained by John McTavish; for it was on just such a night when the rum was flowin' and, Davey Jones be damned, big John brought his men on deck for the first of several screaming contests."

I Chat Calmly With a Conservative
He:
These turds are incredible. They wage an absolute unprovoked character assassination on all political enemies with little or no evidence, but demand their politicial and cultural heros be proven guilty in a court before admitting the obvious. These double standard laden morons are so completely twisted, so hypocritical and so sick I have reached the conclusion they are all mentally ill - seriously.
How is it these sickos get up in the morning and manage well enough to get through the day? Surely they must be locked up somewhere and given computer access only as a gesture of good will by their keepers....sick...sick...sick
Me:
Well, aren't you the one who is typing furiously from your mother's basement with you baseball cap on backwards and your jaw somewhat slack? Isn't it time to wrap up your homeschool assignment-- perhaps the Color the Ducky page? You do realize that political thought and discourse is an adult custom, and you still have a few years to go.
He:
I so enjoy these lame efforts at humor - all of which have been scribbled out before by your breathren....face it moron - you can;t defend yourself so you project your own lifestyle on others inhopes that it matters. You're just a case of empties, a phony and a wannabee charlatan who doesn't pack the gear to offer anything factual or at least original in your own defense...

Republican Whine List
Obama was not born in the US.
His birth certificate is a fake.
Obama is a muslim
Obama is an arab
Obama is a terrorist
Obama uses drugs
Obama bought the election
The 2008 election was rigged
Obama is trying to sell his Senate seat
He smokes cigarettes.
Remember when senators represented the public for state, national and international issues and were qualified to do that? Seems they were elected by the public, not appointed by some bureaucrat. It appears we now have acquired a "royalty" who believe in divine entitlement.
Obama fathered two black children in wedlock!
Obama is a fraud.
Obama will say anything and align himself with the lowest scum job Earth to get ahead.
Obama has dual citizenship and is disqualified of being president!
Obama is racist.
Obama asked for spicy mustard on his hamburger.
Obama's wife insults the poor with her choice of shoes.
Obama habitually thinks before he speaks. Very annoying.
ZERo The Nothing is failing and N Korea would hate to loose him.
Yeah, every one of the leftist trash are sick and twisted, unfit to be called Americans as far as I can tell...
ZERo The Nothing, lying leftard ghetto trash crack head POS communist filth and the single greatest danger to America and freedom ever in the history of this nation.
Me:
I think you're foaming.
He:
I think that you are stupid, but than, stupidity is a prerequisite for being a leftard POS, isn't it?
ZERo The Nothing, lying leftist ghetto trash POS communist filth and the single greatest danger to America and freedom ever in the history of this country.
Me:
Isn't it time to launder your sheets and return to your kkk klavern?
He:
Seems like its time for you to get on back to your ghetto and business on your corner, crack head.
I think that you are stupid, but than, stupidity is a prerequisite for being a leftard POS, isn't it?
ZERo The Nothing, lying leftist ghetto trash POS communist filth and the single greatest danger to America and freedom ever in the history of this country.
Me:
What is POS?
He:
Are you a foreigner?
POS = Leftist = piece of shit..
Me:
Ah, so that what POS means. As a well-educated, church-going liberal, I find there is no need to resort to such gutter crudities to communicate. Naturally, our political superiority is in sync with our moral superiority.
He:
ROTFLMFAO.................know any more funny jokes? Thanks for the comedy.....lol
Me:
I think it puzzles and then destroys you when you realize the simple fact that Obama-- a black man-- is your intellectual, moral, and spiritual superior.
He:
ROTFLMFAO, again, your comedy is funny as it can be. Also full of untruths, first of which is the fact that ZERo is not a 'black man', his mother was a caucasian making him a zebra, bi racial, a halfrican-American, a mullato.ZERo, the Affirmative Action stooge is no ones 'intellectual, moral, and spiritual' superior, except for the stupid leftards that think that he is their 'Messiah'. You fools got snookered and all of America lost big time.
(Mercy! In the land of GOP, the man with one brain cell is king. So, at this point, I tip toe quietly, stage left, from this lovely thread.)

The Smithsonian Writes A Letter
Smithsonian Institute
207 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC
20078
Dear Sir:
Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled "211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post. Hominid skull."
We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents "conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago." Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be the "Malibu Barbie". It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction with your findings.
However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to it's modern origin:
1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone.
2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-hominids.
3. The dentition pattern evident on the "skull" is more consistent with the common domesticated dog than it is with the "ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams" you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time.
This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it.
Without going into too much detail, let us say that: A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on. B. Clams don't have teeth. It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our lab must bear in it's normal operation, and partly due to carbon dating's notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record.
To the best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956 AD, and carbon dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results. Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science Foundation's Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific name "Australopithecus spiff-arino."
Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species name you selected was hyphenated, and didn't really sound like it might be Latin. However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum.
While it is undoubtedly not a hominid fossil, it is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the Institution, and the entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site you have discovered in your back yard.
We eagerly anticipate your trip to our nation's capital that you proposed in your last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it. We are particularly interested in hearing you expand on your theories surrounding the "trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a structural matrix" that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9-mm Sears Craftsman automotive crescent wrench.
Yours in Science,
Harvey Rowe Curator,
Antiquities

Lettermen and Palin
TURN THE CHANNEL!
Says a reader:
As with most people who are foolish enough to support liberal ideas, you fail to understand that the First Amendment (as well as the rest of the Bill of Rights) ONLY restricts the actions of the United States government.
Ah, yes. A a cafeteria conservative, ever appealing to the freedom of speech clause of the constitution only when it suit you.
Since you clearly don't know anything about the First Amendment, let me help you and the other home schoolers out.
Private citizens are permitted-- not restrained-- by the first amendment to say what they want, within the bounds of what is otherwise lawful, i.e. as regards to sedition or obscenity. The First Amendment applies to individuals, corporations, states, and the government. It doesn't only restrict the federal government. Here is the wording:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "
Right after the clause "freedom of speech" is "or of the press"-- which is scarcely a government function. The First Amendment doesn't innoculate individuals from tort liability for libel or slander, but the Supreme Court has set a low standard in regards to public officials such as Mrs. Palin. Generally, Palin is fair game for any kind of abusive or unfair speech because she is a public official. It is a gray area whether or not her children are fair game. As a matter of law, that can be addressed under libel or slander laws. As a matter of tactical politics as well as basic ethics, any kind of attacks on politican's children should be off limits.
Here is Wikipedia analysis:
"The nature of American defamation law was vitally changed by the Supreme Court in 1964, in deciding New York Times Co. v. Sullivan 376 U.S. 254 (1964). The New York Times had published an advertisement indicating that officials in Montgomery, Alabama had acted violently in suppressing the protests of African-Americans during the Civil rights movement. The Montgomery Police Commissioner, L. B. Sullivan, sued the Times for libel on the grounds that the advertisement damaged his reputation. The Supreme Court unanimously overruled the $500,000 judgment against the Times. Justice William J. Brennan suggested that public officials may sue for libel only if the publisher published the statements in question with "actual malice."
"The actual malice standard applies to both public officials and public figures, including celebrities. Though the details vary from state to state, private individuals normally need only to prove negligence on the part of the defendant.
"In Greenbelt Cooperative Publishing Association, Inc. v. Bresler, 398 U.S. 6 (1970), the Supreme Court ruled that a Greenbelt News Review article, which quoted a visitor to a city council meeting who characterized Bresler's aggressive stance in negotiating with the city as "blackmail", was not libelous since nobody could believe anyone was claiming that Bresler had committed the crime of blackmail and that the statement was essentially hyperbole (i.e., obviously an opinion).
"The Supreme Court ruled in Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. 418 U.S. 323 (1974), opinions could not be considered defamatory. It is thus permissible to suggest, for instance, that someone is a bad lawyer, but not permissible to falsely declare that the lawyer is ignorant of the law: the former constitutes a statement of values, but the latter is a statement alleging a fact."
I'm not sure why the word "liberal" is used as a prejorative as it was foolish liberals that wrote the constitution in the first place, and it is conservatives such as the mullahs of Iran who do not want such foolish, new-fangled liberal ideas as free speech to prevail.
The fact is that right-wing talk radio, the forums (such as this one) and Fox cable have this kind of stuff on daily abd 24-7. I think it does debase the dialogue and tactically the low road isn't the place where you want to be. But that is a fact of today's politics. What does the Bible say about taking the log out of your eye? Lettermen is a mere speck compared to Limburgh, Rush, Hannity, Beck, Palin, Fox, and any number of forums, all spewing their hate, with some of it crossing the line into inference about assasinations of liberal politicans.
"In a harried, fragmented, media-addled time, there is an invigorating simplicity to this political fundamentalism. It is comforting to hold fast to hallowed values, to defend tradition against the slackness of relativism and hedonism. But when the tone darkens toward a rhetoric of purgation and annihilation, there is reason for alarm. Two days after watching "Seven Days in May," I was utterly horrified to hear Dallas-based talk show host Mark Davis, subbing for Rush Limbaugh, laughingly and approvingly read a passage from a Dallas magazine article by CBS sportscaster David Feherty claiming that "any U.S. soldier," given a gun with two bullets and stuck in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, would use both bullets on Pelosi and strangle the other two."
http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2009/05/13/7_days_in_may/
There is the saying that you don't wrestle with pigs because you get dirty and the pigs likes it. It seems to me that lip-stick covered pigs like nothing better than this kind of rhetoric. Kerry and some of the previous presidential candidates made a critical error of judgment in not answering these kind of attacks in kind and at once. And, since the Republicans are now a minority party lacking any kind of leadership at all, I expect that this kind of snarking will continue from them for as long as I can see, making it blue skies for the Democratic Party.
So, yes, there is indeed hypocrisy. But most of it comes from the right.
