the protoplasm envelope that houses the obnoxious being tagged “Chuck Adkins,” tempting as that is, out of pity and the knowledge that Christiana would not have wanted him to.
All of which is beside the most important point, which in the end is this: the huge, spontaneous tsunami of love, sympathy, and support that followed in the wake of the unjustified and unjustifiable outrage that precipitated it is probably the best early Christmas present I’ve ever received, or ever will. Thanks to all of you for that: all of the good people who commented here and in other places; all the bloggers both renowned and obscure who linked; and all the literally hundreds of people who e-mailed privately. I’m far more indebted to all of you than I could ever begin to adequately redeem or even express. But I figure the best way to repay you is to keep on keepin’ on, to continue to do the best work here I can, and to put the vile ugliness that reared its ghastly, revolting head last week behind us once and for all.
So, drop by and communicate your regards, if the spirit moves you.
Thanks once more for your friendship, Dan. See ya New Years.
Likewise, Mike!
That’s the classiest thing I’ve ever read, Mike. You’re a million times better than Chuck can ever imagine being.
Interesting ideas… I wonder how the Hollywood media would portray this?
