Har har har!
Just reading today's blog comments I see that John lists Andrew Sullivan as one of his favorite cartoon characters. Oh how true.
I have pretty much given up on Sullivan (actually, I rarely read any neo-con pundit anymore, as they just infuriate me), so I would not count him as my favorite, but he is indeed a cartoon character.
Along those lines, I would have to list my alter-ego, President Richard Milhous Nixon, as a favorite character. Or at least as my favorite Quaker.
Speaking of bizarre cults, I am getting sick and tired of Falun Gong acting like all they are is a stretching program. They were part of the Italian Heritage (read Columbus Day, but with a name that does not offend the natives) Parade. Believe me, anyone who dabbles in Falun Gong nonsense automatically loses any claim to Italian heritage. But these folks, with their calm monotone voiceover on the PR system and their matching yellow outfits, are creepy. Really creepy. Creepy as in "I'd like you to read some literature and possibly put a green pod in your backyard" creepy.
One of the people I was watching the parade with said, "oh, the Chinese Scientologists." Would you like a personality test to go with your tai chi?
I rarely praise commies, and even rarer is the day when I praise commie governments, but the People's Republic of China is right to smell a nasty rat in Falun Gong. Unfotunately, they smell nasty rats in Catholics, but they are right in smelling one in Falun Gong.
I can just imagine the next time I see a rat in a yellow suit slowly waving his hands at me and telling me to read some literature.
PS You might see their material calling itself Falun Dafa. It is the same thing, and it is all creepy stuff.

Posted by: at January 7, 2006 5:39 AMAll the above comments are plain rubbish. Nobody's bothering you and nobody is hurting you. But you have the nerve and audacity to praise the Communist Party of China for its persecution of Falun Dafa? That means you support the torture and killing of people who didn't hurt anybody. That's wrong. Shame on you!
EDITORS NOTE: I see I have attracted one of the green pod in the yellow suit people. I especially like this commenter's previous comment, which, like this one, is attributed to Anonymous, which is how all brave souls make their statements.
Yes, I have the nerve to praise the Commie Turd Party of China for persecuting the Eastern Scientologists. If only our government had the balls to do the same, now and in 19th century Utah, as well. The Commies are, indeed, turds, who should all go to the camps, but a stopped clock is right twice a day, and halting the Falun Gong cult is a good move.
I will also go ON THE FRIGGIN' RECORD to praise Janet Reno for her handling of the whackjobs in Waco.
Posted by: at January 7, 2006 5:38 AMI think it'd be damn hilarious if more washed up hippy white folks got caught up in this cult. And they will. "What? You hate the 'gong?" "You commie-fascist!" The sad funny part is neo-cons and wussy-lib types love these people, and believe them "exercising their freedom" in spite of evil wily China. I say go China.
