Brickbat Brightening
I have polished and pruned my Futurological Brickbats anthology, bagging many of the less aphoristic entries for disposal. I think it makes for a punchier read now.
I'm digging this brickbat brightening. But damn Dale, that's cold. You telling me you're gonna blind the techno-fetishist-anarcho-capitalists-stealth-racist-libertarians before smashing them with the bat? I mean it's cruel...but effective. Also, don't liberals carry the stigma of being thought of as pansies and all peace and love? Why are you carrying this blinding brick bat Dale? LOL.
> Well, I can only speak for THIS pansy, but what > says peace and love more than laughter? My brickbats > smash nothing but pretensions.
Isaac: Has anybody read that Nazis are going to march in New Jersey? You know, I read this in the newspaper -- we should go down there, get some guys together, you know, get some bricks and baseball bats and really explain things to them.
Man: There was this devastating satirical piece on that on the op-ed page of the Times. It is devastating.
Isaac: Well, well, a satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point.
Woman: Oh, but really biting satire is always better than physical force.
Isaac: No, physical force is always better with Nazis. Cuz it's hard to satirize a guy with shiny boots.
