Irony is lost on some ...

[blamebrampton]

This is not a post on the recent American health care bill. Because I do not have the five hours it would require me to write it nor a week for dealing with discussion (I am still woefully behind with previous discussions!)

However, today has confirmed in my mind that I am reasonably and happily moderate. Because today I burst out laughing at both an International Socialist wearing Converse and smoking Dunhills, and at a Tea Party aficionado assuring me that they would rather die than let the government into their home -- over the internet.

In other news, Scrap the kitten is still doing well. And Mr Shuffles the Zombie Elephant now has a new official name -- Pathi Harn, Thai for miracle. Bless his wrinkly little brain-sucking heart.

I also have a new career plan. I am going to make a cape and find some shiny tights and become a Super Hero. My name will be The Reasoner and my Mission will be travelling the world slapping stupid people.

Actually, that sounds too much like hard work. I'm going back to writing and will try to fit in a bit of satire now and then. Far easier!

Ah, but Brammers, it may be hard work but the world neeeeeeeds the Reasoner!!!

Need a sidekick or research assistant finding these stupid people? I know there are plenty that happily make themselves known but some of them are disguised!

If you went around slapping all the stupid people in the world, you'd never get any sleep. (I volunteer for sidekick duty, it sounds like a cool gig.)

Ah, Tea Party people. We had a few at the uni entrance, trying to convince us Obama was the Antichrist.

Okay, technically speaking, I'm a super villian, but I feel The Reasoner has a mission I can get behind. Let me know if she needs any crossover issues. ;)

Liked your post, ;)

Don't make the mistake my friend did earlier in the week and wear shiny underwear with the tights. They'll fall down and you'll need to rescue your modesty with pins.

For a moment there I was looking forward to having you fly here and slap me around. Might clear up my lungs or knock me out for a blessed while! Please? Shiny cape, look, shiny, shiny. Pathi Harn commands you to fly, fly.

Hey do you need a psychic...

But I WANT you to become The Reasoner! Goodness knows we need someone to travel the world over and slap the stuffing out of stupid people. Perhaps you could recruit some minions to help?

Slapping stupid people sounds like a great mission for a superhero... But I think you wouldbbe kept very busy - perhaps a sidekick would be required?

Thanks for the update on the elephant!

Hahaha! Omg, this entry made my life that much better! I think you would possibly be the best superhero I have ever heard of!

If you ever do this, I vow to be helpful and not stupid! *grin*

The world definitely needs the Reasoner. Definitely. Please?

Your Sekrit Weapon could be the Cluebat!!

But I still vote for satire, because I would rather read your stories about EU farming regulations and the civil service Draco and vegetables than hear about you slapping stupid people.

...Probably.
