Follow-up to Burka Piece
I hate to keep hammering away on the same thing, but I got some complaints from some people yesterday about my piece about the Burka Blog's characterization of the Margo V. Moody race and the "report" Burka got from El Paso.
Some people were very upset with me and took great exception to something I said.
They feel that whoever the idiot was that gave Burka the info was, they were so stupid that they feel that a comparison to truck nuts was unfair and unwarranted.
To truck nuts.
They accurately pointed out that the inventor of truck nuts probably made a fortune. Which he probably did. Although I contend the money was probably spent on the world's largest collection of Nascar Commemorative Plates.
But that is neither here nor there. Yes indeed the fella that invented truck nuts is probably a very wealthy man. But truck nuts are still stupid. We buy a lot of dumb stuff in this country, like snuggies for example.
That guy is probably rich too.
So I stand by the fact that truck nuts are stupid and so stupid that they warrant the comparison to the idiot that was Burka's source.
Although in retrospect, I now fully realize that I could've used other terms to equally articulate my point, like as stupid as a keytar. Big in the 80's, but no matter what you do to it, its not cool.
I also could've said stupid, like sweater vests, skorts, or botas picudas (seriously, the dumbest thing man ever came up with. Its so stupid it almost disproves evolution.
