dammit! now i want a cookie…

ok, so i don’t often point to other people’s blogs without making some sort of conversation about it here, but this time i’m gonna make an exception…

aunt b. over at tinycatpants has one funny metaphor to help you wrap your head around some of bill o’reiley’s nonsense…

“And the loudest of the White Christian men are all, “No, no, there can only be 100 cookies.”

And we’re all, even including some White Christian men, “But no, there can be more.  Look.”

“No, don’t fuck with our tradition.  God said there can only be 100 cookies.”

“Dudes, God doesn’t say anything about cookies in the Bible.  Now, you have your 60 cookies; get out of the way so that we can bake.”

Now, don’t get me wrong.  It’s not all smooth.  The white women think they should get to use the oven first.  Black folks are still like “Hey, we made the oven.  Now we’re going to use it.”  And the Latinos are all “We picked all your ingredients.  Try to use the oven without those.”  Nobody’s above that nonsense.”

go see what she’s talking about… do it now. 

also, if you don’t read aunt b., you really really should.  not for the faint of heart or the hard-line conservatives or the woman-haters… but then those people don’t read anything here either, so i guess we don’t have to worry about that, do we?
