Are the nutters really so stupid that they don't



know what's truly meant to offend them?

We all find ourselves on e-mail lists from the Other Side -- the Dark Side, the Utterly Loony Side -- and it's usually more trouble than it's worth trying to get off. (Not to mention, does one really want to make contact with those people?) Earlier this week I was privileged to receive such a communication from a crypto-journalist who chronicles the outrages of us lefties. This week he was in a high state of outrage over a moment from last week'sepisode. That's right, ladies and gints, the nutters have seen the enemy, and it's, uh, Larry David???I could be wrong, but I think that our earnest nuttier was claiming that in a scene in the episode Larry urinated on a bible. If so, he was totally detached from reality. ("," as certain Old Europeans might say.) Today I finally watched the episode, which is hilarious, and the simple fact is thatis "urinated on." What happens is that, because Larry's drug-conditioned urinary flow is now achieving rocketlike potency, a drop splashes rocketlike out of the john andonto a cheesy image of Jesus posted on the bathroom wall right beside the john, such that the residents think it's a miracle: Jesus weeps!The reason I'm assuming my nuttier says that Larry urinates on a bible is the form his withering outrage takes: Can you imagine the outrage if there were a depiction of urinating on a Koran? And surely he couldn't be suggesting any sort of equivalence between a tacky fake-Jesus picture and a Koran, could he? Could he???So you get the train of the outrage, right? Christian religious artifacts, says our nuttier, can be violated without consequence, whereas the slightest disrespect shown to a Muslim holy book would bring down, well, I don't know, the wrath of Allah?Every time I think my mind can't be more boggled than the Doodyhead Right has already managed, I'm set up for further boggling. This loon has got the whole thing backwards. After all, here he is screaming bloody murder over absolutely nothing, while the fact is that he and his evil Crap Christian hypocrite zealots not only wouldn't care if a Koran was defiled, they wouldFor God's sake (and I hope He's listening in on the bullshit being slung in His name), does this moron truly not recognize his own reference to urinating on a Koran. For once in his fervid pursuit of snares and delusions, he's not making something up.Well, maybe the chump reallyrecognize it. Consider just how hard lying sacks of ignorant doody like him have to work to block out all vestiges of reality from intruding on their lack-of-consciousness. They still will refuse to deal with the illegal as well as immoral behavior committed in their name under the watch of those agents of Satan Dick Cheney and George W. Bush, and not even God can make them.Of course, what this fulminating asshole doesn't seem to notice (again, I only glanced at his screed) is that theepisode is far from harmless in its view of the Crap Christian corporate enterprise. It's being suggested that the poor sad people who are the victims of the Crap Christian wizards in fancy dress are so abject, so beyond hope or help, that they actually tack fake-Jesus images on the wall beside their johns, and then believe their lives have been touched -- finally! -- by grace when all it is is an errant splash of urine.In other words, with a certain amount of pity as well as derision, Larry seems to think those people are even more abject than he regularly portrays himself.As a matter of fact, I loved thatepisode. As Larry and Jerry Seinfeld work on their supposedreunion show, while neither of them seems (at least yet) to have slipped fully into spontaneous conversation, we are getting our first direct glimpses of the mind-meld that produced. Fabulous! On to tonight's episode!
