Democrats who fail to understand the subtleties of absurdism as exemplified in the Republican speeches are probably the very same people who would maintain that everyone is created equal and that the Australian music category for surf music should be given the same respect as has been earned by similar efforts in Canada .  Can any Democrat name any accomplishment in Canadian surf music?   What duya bet that there’s a bigger surf scene in Coober Pedy than in Nanaimo ?  Didn’t Little Pattie win a military medal as well as have a surf music hit?

 

 

It is rather easy for a column on absurdism to find room for a paragraph that pays tribute to Duane Eddy, one of America’s best guitarists and one of the founding fathers of Rock’n’Roll.

 

 

Can you picture a Democratic pundit finding a way to slip a plug for Huffington Post’s http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tag/republican-convention>Big News Page for the Republican Convention, which is a collection of links to many of the web’s best stories and evaluations about the coronation of Sarah and John, into a column about absurdism?

 

 

Only Absurdism can explain why one particular columnist would seek to be officially and publicly annotated by Bill O’Reilly as a “Left Wing Lunatic” and be ignored for his efforts.  (Can some of you regular readers out there, please send him a testimonial letter recommending that he correct this oversight and recognize the achievements of the World’s Laziest Journalist?  Thank you!)

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
