Got my first piece today, from one mswinky@hotmail.com<\/a>, who eagerly awaits offers to increase his penis size and lower his mortgage rate. Senor Swinky writes:<\/p>\n

and what the fuck are you doing about the war or anything for that matter?
\ncaught up in dirty identity politics and spending too much time on a 2000 dollar powerbook your parents paid for despite he fact that you’ve completed 4 years of study at a fine liberal arts college.
\nmake furniture not fun you fool.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Six factual assertions in a single sentence, and every one wrong. Identity politics of what? Neurotic middle-aged white male Manhattan programmers? Oh yeah, we’re taking it to the street, baby! Since I make my living at the computer it’s hard for me to spend too much time there. (Waste<\/em> too much time, sure: replying to this for instance.) About the only popular OS that I don’t run is Mac, and it’s been a couple of decades since I gouged my parents for anything beyond a free meal. I did not “complete” four years of study, and the liberal arts college was not fine, it was adequate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look boys, from now on I’m going to need some hard evidence that you actually read the site, or it’s no spam for you. I have to admit I like the furniture thing though. If I had qualified by completing four years of study at a fine liberal arts college, I might even have tried it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
