Check "Hate mailbag" if you want some laughs
It's on the homepage--it's either new or back. Anyway, the answers the mod gives to the hatemail are so funny. These posters don't see how bad they look, either.

2. Is it really funny?
I was afraid to look - I thought it would just piss me off.

3. No, no it is funny, Hans.
Skinner always makes good comments on the idiocy of these haters. I like Skinner.

4. I can't.
I just can't find any humor in this administration or its supporters anymore. I've only watched one episode of the Daily Show since the election. It's too damned depressing that so many hate-mailbag worthy fools are out there. I used to have a sense of humor about this, but not anymore.

5. Honey, learn to laugh, it'll save your soul!
I take my cue from the great Molly Ivins: Learn to lighten up. You will lose way more battles than you win, and lightening up will save your soul and preserve your will for the next battle. (And if any progressives in the country know about losing and coming back to fight anohter day, it's Texas progressives. God bless 'em. They are my heroes.)

While I'm paraphrasing the great Ms. Ivins, I might as well relay another of her stories. Ms. Ivins tells of a day in the Lonestar State when the KKK got court permission to march on the State Capitol in Austin. Progressives were beside themselves with how to respond to this outrage. Then they hit upon the perfect response. As the KKK marchers came down the street in their hateful white robes, there stood a solid line of Texas' liberals who turned around and dropped their drawers and mooned the bastards. Thus was free speech preserved on both sides. (Long live Texas!)

I simply can't think of a more inspirational story.

6. LMAO
Ginny I should have never went and started reading all the hate mail because I couldn't help but laugh and now I'm hurting like hell from it from where I had surgery. But it was funny as hell. When they say hate mail they mean it. Sheesh! Some of the crap people wrote was down right crazy.

7. OMG! You had surgery?
Are you ok? We noticed you weren't around for a while. Is everything alright?

8. Yeah, me too!
I hope everything is okay and that the surgery was very successful and very quick to recover from. You were missed! (Muchly. Big hugs from the heart of MA for you.)
