Always a crowd-pleaser this time of year, ladies and gentlemen, this year’s 50 Most Loathsome People in America 2007. My personal favorite, more than Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly, “The Big” Dick Cheney and even Britney Spears? Number 9:

9. You
Charges: You believe in freedom of speech, until someone says something that offends you. You suddenly give a damn about border integrity, because the automated voice system at your pharmacy asked you to press 9 for Spanish. You cling to every scrap of bullshit you can find to support your ludicrous belief system, and reject all empirical evidence to the contrary. You know the difference between patriotism and nationalism — it’s nationalism when foreigners do it. You hate anyone who seems smarter than you. You care more about zygotes than actual people. You love to blame people for their misfortunes, even if it means screwing yourself over. You still think Republicans favor limited government. Your knowledge of politics and government are dwarfed by your concern for Britney Spears’ children. You think buying Chinese goods stimulates our economy. You think you’re going to get universal health care. You tolerate the phrase “enhanced interrogation techniques.” You think the government is actually trying to improve education. You think watching CNN makes you smarter. You think two parties is enough. You can’t spell. You think $9 trillion in debt is manageable. You believe in an afterlife for the sole reason that you don’t want to die. You think lowering taxes raises revenue. You think the economy’s doing well. You’re an idiot.

Amen.

There is no “War on Christmas” when you buy a loaf of Mrs. Baird’s bread at a national grocery chain and it reads “Merry Christmas” on top.

The End.

I saw this yesterday, but didn’t have time to comment. Quite sad, as Terry Pratchett is one of those gifted writers whose prose is actually funny, in an effortless way. I’m totally hooked on his “Discworld” series.

LONDON, England (CNN) – Fantasy author Terry Pratchett has admitted that he has been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer’s disease — but says he plans to continue writing his multi-million selling Discworld books.

Terry Pratchett, whose books have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide in 33 languages.

Pratchett, 59 — whose books have, according to his Web site, sold more than 45 million copies worldwide in 33 languages — suffered what he called a “phantom stroke” earlier this year. In a statement titled “an embuggerance” on the Web site of Discworld illustrator Paul Kidby, Pratchett says that he has been diagnosed with what he terms “a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer’s.”

My favorite line from one of his books: “It was the kind of hat Carmen Miranda would wear to the funeral of a country.”

Good thoughts and fairy dust to him.
