It’s almost as much a drag to have to explain a gnomic conceit as it is a joke, but Jeff and SEK were there<\/a>.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I placed it under ineffective erasure because the simple fact that referencing it as verboten highlights it, as is evident from the comments.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 As I mentioned, my issue isn’t with Gleen’s homosexuality, but his integrity and intelligence.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Once he acknowledged the hailing, “he,” as a constructed identity,\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0became entrapped in the problematic of distancing his own insulting and mean-spirited characterization of others and their “fauxtrage” at certain representations that he promotes.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t care that he’s a faggot<\/strike><\/a>\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0red herring.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 You can bet that Ahmadinejad does, though.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 So,\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0Glenn makes strange and contorted choices over what to become exercised about, in my view.<\/p>\n

The idea that Greenwald is in any way concerned with “blasphemy” is ludicrous per se<\/em>, which provides me scope for mockery and play.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Of whose sentiments, exactly, is Mr. Greenwald protective?\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And what is it that draws him to be solicitous of their concerns, specifically?\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He is a troublingly dishonest man who draws a troublingly dishonest coterie.<\/p>\n

Oh, and sorry about the Lacan<\/strike>.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 It won’t happen again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If this spreads more, we can refer to it as F-Word-Gate.<\/p>\n

Why did I laugh<\/strike> type “faggot” tonight? No voice will tell
\nNo God, no demon of severe response
\nDeigns to reply from heaven or from hell
\nThen to my human heart I turn at once:
\nHeart, thou and I are here, sad and alone,
\nSay, why did I laugh<\/strike> type “faggot”? O mortal pain!
\nO darkness! darkness! Forever must I moan
\nTo question heaven and hell and heart in vain?
\nWhy did I laugh<\/strike> type “faggot”? I know this being’s lease
\nMy fancy to its utmost blisses spreads
\nYet would I on this very midnight cease
\nAnd all the world’s gaudy ensigns see in shreds.
\nVerse, fame and beauty are intense indeed,
\nBut death intenser, death is life’s high meed.<\/p>\n
