disc_sophist, especially, take note of this one:
On KING ARTHUR: But I also know that Lancelot didn't enter the mythos until about six centuries later, when the French crowbarred him in. I mean, naturally: He's better and stronger than any other knight, he's so irresistable that the queen cuckolds her husband for him, and of course he's French. He's like a medieval Lieutenant Mary Sue.
I was gonna make a comment on Arnold's "girlie-men" comment, but PAD summed it up perfectly, so I'll just post his entry here:
Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be a Democrat
Dems are howling over Arh-nuld's calling them "Girlie Men," saying it's insulting to gays and women.
Aw, c'mon. I don't recall anyone bitching about it when Hans and Franz coined the term in a recurring SNL sketch that was clearly lampooning Arnold. Instead of whining about being regularly made fun of, Arnold embraced the gag, even showing up during one sketch and lambasting them, saying they'd let themselves go and had become girlie men themselves (as they hung their heads in shame.)
If the Dems feel he was off-base in accusing them of pandering to special interest (which is where their ire should really be directed) then the response should be something along the lines of, "The Governor has been so busy pumping (clap) himself up that he's full of hot air." Not this namby-pamby, "Oh, he's calling us names, he's being mean to us" crap. Dem spokesmen are reacting like--well--girlie men.
As for me, I'm still pretty fucking sick. Worst flu ever. I even had to have my mother call into work because I don't think Roma believed me the first day I called in sick. And I'm down to 150 lbs. Holy shit.
