(…And That Passeth For Poetry)

A non-substantive coda to the previous post: you just knew there was going to be poetry involved somewhere, didn’t you?

“Intricate wisdom, carefully woven and bound together by monumental strands of time,” eh? Allow me to riposte.

    Like a 10-year-old could even begin to comprehend the Holocaust. I agree with Danimal about his interp of “Holocaust studies”.

    I think Bogart’s hubris will be his downfall… self-inflated egotist peacemongers tend to fail gracelessly.

  2. Gabrielle says:

    What does he think, that if we don’t have a military then everyone will love us?
    Gimme a break

  3. John says:

    My favorite bit is: “Brian wrote pen-pal letters to President Kennedy between the ages of five and seven, asking the president to “take down that brick wall” while visiting Berlin in 1962.” Perhaps Kennedy forwaded them to Kruschev or maybe just maybe the letters were still in the desk when Regan moved in. Either way Brian’s place in history is secure.

    PS Did the Scotch help? I tried beer but it kept exploding from my nose onto the screen.

  4. Timothy says:

    Is it wrong of me to take such joy in knowing this guy will fail at life? Because if that’s wrong, I don’t want to be right.

  5. Danimal says:

    Oh my. From Bogart’s bio at that site:

    “He completed Holocaust studies at the age of ten.”

    What does it mean to complete Holocaust studies? I’m pretty sure dozens of historians are still at work on that. Or does he want credit for having to read The Diary of Anne Frank in fifth grade?
