love me some Charles Pierce

If you don't read Altercations, you're missing frequent updates from Charles Pierce, who fills me with glee on a regular basis in the face of not a whole lot of stuff to be gleeful about.

"And it follows that the revered Senator McCain, who has been declaring that he wants all the remaining photos released, is acting like a posturing, media-mad fool."

Doc --
And, it follows, of course, Mickey is blogging like a college sophomore who discovered Ripple and Sun Tzu an hour ago. But, we digress.

And, anyway, after this week, to paraphrase the young comedy writer from My Favorite Year, I need John McCains as big as I can get them.

Admittedly, it did not begin well; I did not need to hear McCain on the radio telling Sean (Knocko) Hannity that the latter was doing "God's work." (For pity's sake, Senator, God's got enough trouble.) However, as the week went along, he stepped up time and again. As the incomparable Daily Howler pointed out yesterday, the senator even fed something back to Hannity himself concerning the God's work that Knocko had done in smearing McCain on behalf of C-Plus Augustus back in 2000.

Elsewhere, McCain grilled that Cambone character to a fine medium-well. He walked out on the revolting Senator Jim Imhofe (R-Plankton). Then, on Tuesday night, talking with Ted Koppel, he single-handedly redeemed Nightline, which otherwise spent the week looking down from a very great height upon The Shark...

ahhhh.

By the way, I tried Ripple once at a Subgenius gallery opening (I am, I will have you know, certified Saved by The Big Man himself) and puppies, do not try Ripple.

I repeat. Do not try Ripple.

Serves you right. If you were a proper Erisian, instead of a damned Protestant, you would know that Ripple is a Discordian plot.

Hey, I'm such a bad erisian I'm Catholic.

Hrm. Begs questions, that.

Maybe the greatest Discordian heresy is to accept the official pope, instead of naming yourself one.

Worse than Boone's Farm Strawberry "Wine"?

Some kids in college had the bright idea to put kool-aid mix in some Everclear and call it 'punch.' That was interesting to behold.

Have you ever, in the course of your parlous youth, had a roadkill margarita?

It's a 7-11 slurpee with whatever alcohol form your underaged fellows can get ahold of poured into it.

Ripple is worse (pace Jerry).

It wasn't Ripple, it was T-Bird.

Beg to differ: there was also Ripple.
