My complaint about Dinky

The following are simply some random thoughts that have been rattling about my head of late and that I'd like to let out -- a little house cleaning, if you will. One of the first facts we should face is that Dinky is an opportunist. That is, it is an ideological chameleon, without any real morality, without a soul. An old joke tells of the optimist who falls off a 60-story building and, as he whizzes past the 35th floor, exclaims, "So far, so good!" But it is not such blind optimism that causes Dinky's coadjutors to think that they can promote mediocrity over merit. Dinky embraces conformism with open arms. And if that seems like a modest claim, I disagree. It's the most radical claim of all.

I use such language purposefully -- and somewhat sardonically -- to illustrate how Dinky keeps trying to legitimize the fear and hatred of the privileged for the oppressed. And if we don't remain eternally vigilant, it will really succeed. No one that I speak with or correspond with is happy about this situation. Of course, I don't speak or correspond with quasi-devious, jaded rotters, Dinky's deputies, or anyone else who fails to realize that Dinky's prevarications are not an abstract problem. They have very concrete, immediate, and unpleasant consequences. For instance, solecism is not merely an attack on our moral fiber. It is also a politically motivated attack on knowledge. If you've read this far, then you probably either agree with me or are on the way to agreeing with me. Call me a cynic, but it is singularly apt that I haven't the foggiest idea why Dinky wants to rally for a cause that is completely void of moral, ethical, or legal validity. The mere mention of that fact guarantees that this letter will never get published in any mass-circulation periodical that Dinky has any control over. But that's inconsequential, because only the impartial and unimpassioned mind will even consider that the picture I am presenting need not be confined to Dinky's manifestos. It applies to everything it says and My complaint about Dinky

Inka Dinky Do???
 

G'night Mrs. Calabash wherever you are.

This FSF is not only holding the CH down, but it's found to be growing roots on Amazon's servers.
 
Jeff Beck is right.....this duck is constipated.
 

Fiber or fubar?

goose + goose = geese
thus, moose + moose = meese?
and following that logic, cheese = choose + choose
 So If I'm taking a multiple choice exam, it means I'm cheesing.

 Probably ends up in fast food as a byproduct.

Still on 727?
Tsk, tsk.
