Comments on: The I Really Hate Republicans Book Stack http://bloglily.com/2006/12/21/the-i-really-hate-republicans-book-stack/ "it must give pleasure" -- Wallace Stevens Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:38:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jeff http://bloglily.com/2006/12/21/the-i-really-hate-republicans-book-stack/#comment-4068 Tue, 26 Dec 2006 17:33:52 +0000 http://bloglily.com/2006/12/21/the-i-really-hate-republicans-book-stack/#comment-4068 If I were you, I’d actually enjoy the break from the typical Republican (well in Canada, just plain Conservative) argument of Bush is the best President, Iraq was always in Al-Qaeda, and many other arguments, when thought through, make no logical sense whatsoever. Sounds like your brother-in-law feels much the same way. And unless he’s heading home now, there’s always been two things that creates good conversation for us Canucks. Hockey and Movies. Though I don’t know if hockey’s a big thing, we ALL seem to have differing views of the silver screen.

Or maybe I’m just a big film dork. Meh. Merry belated Christmas.

It’s pretty good though not a cheery read.

All the best wishes of the season to you & your family, dear Bloglily

And the scary snowman. He looks like Newt Gingrich. I know what you mean about the Republicans, BL. I don’t hate them, but there is no reasoning with them, and I hate that they have reduced our foreign policy down to the level of the most violent Roadrunner and Bugs Bunny cartoons. We’re the coyote, trying and failing ever more elaborately, to get that pesky Roadrunner. And George Bush is Elmer Fudd. “Tewwowists, I’m coming to get youuuuu . . . bam! Bam Bam! Ooops! I missed again!” –Have a beautiful Christmas, BL. Enjoy all that good reading!

You could set up in business, providing Lily’s Famous Xmas Book Stacks. A fortune would wing its way to you… I wish I could see under your tree this Christmas – it’s going to look amazing!

I have a bit of a leftwards lean (not that you would notice it from my blog) and would appreciate a stack like that. I can’t wait till next year when I will be able to begin my book stacks. Then a whole lot of bloggers will be able to share a whole lot of book stacks. Sounds like Heaven to me.

Still having the weird thing happen with accessing your blog. I notice the url converts from bloglily.wordpress.com to bloglily.com. So now I don’t have the blue bar at the top, you won’t see my avatar, and I seem to be commenting as if outside wordpress. Any other wordpress blog I go to, nothing wrong.

Other people don’t seem to have that problem given the presence of their avatars… I’ll have to query wordpress. I like your new theme’s appearance, except for that.

Regards

Thanks Melanie — Yes, it sounds like it’ll be a great book for him.

Hi TBM — Let’s hope so!

Kristsen, I haven’t seen those yet around here — they’re probably not recycleable. Did you see the piece in the NYT this morning on those things? In the end, for some reason, I found myself rooting for the guys who take so much pride in their Christmas displays (they make inflatable dreidels too, so no one need miss out on the chance to inflate). But then again, I don’t live across the street from one of them.

I drove down a block the other morning and they were all lying flat on the ground– victim of Scrouge with a hatpin?

You have given your brother-in-law fodder for his passionate political discussions! I am sure he will be thrilled.

I’m hoping he’ll regale us with notable quotables during dinner. xo, BL

Merry christmas to you!

Struggling writer, I think he’s a very literate guy, as a matter of fact. As for how good the book is, I’m giving it to my mother also (shhhhh) and I know she’ll let me check it out before she goes back home to Seattle.

xo, BL
