well, I got my flamewar

RESPECT, sock it to me

Yes, I got the flamewar I’ve been praying for, in the very last place I expected. Yes, it’s a little one-sided (I started it and currently have a bigger word count on that blog than he does) but just think of it as the War on Lebanon of the Northern Blogosphere.

G’wan over and see what it looks like when I fight with Pork and Beans (okay, so I'm a little cranky today!)impassioned reasoning, facts, and the angels instead of my usual bag of tricks.

It feels good, too.

I didn’t think you had the balls. Now I wonder if you have the brains.

With all due respect, hail Miss Manners, etc: Good lord, man, what have you been smoking?

Okay, almost entirely without my usual bag of tricks.

Suri??? Is that you?The Manolo, he does not shy away from the controversy. Superfantastic!

She has got the Bette Davis eyes! he says.

Kind of him, really. Forget Sharia law, anyone who put those colours together should be flogged!

And so should many of his commenters, who don’t seem to understand that it’s a fashion show for hijabs, habayas, or whatever you want to call them. That we’re not going to see rubber Alaias is a given here. The question is what can you do with what you’re allowed, which is the great political question of the age in all countries, and the fact is that most of these outfits are shiteous, even in context.
