I'm digging this brickbat brightening. But damn Dale, that's cold. You telling me you're gonna blind the techno-fetishist-anarcho-capitalists-stealth-racist-libertarians before smashing them with the bat? I mean it's cruel...but effective. Also, don't liberals carry the stigma of being thought of as pansies and all peace and love? Why are you carrying this blinding brick bat Dale? LOL.
Well, I can only speak for THIS pansy, but what says peace and love more than laughter? My brickbats smash nothing but pretensions.

Isaac: Has anybody read that
Nazis are going to march in New Jersey? You know, I
read this in the newspaper -- we should go down there, get
some guys together, you know, get some bricks and
baseball bats and really explain things to them.
Man: There was this devastating satirical piece on that on the op-ed
page of the Times. It is devastating.
Isaac: Well, well, a satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but
bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point.
Woman: Oh, but really biting satire is always better than physical
force.
Isaac: No, physical force is always better with Nazis. Cuz
it's hard to satirize a guy with shiny boots.
-- Woody Allen, _Manhattan_
