A few weeks ago, the host Elon James White, went full Driftglass on Mr. Brooks. This wasn't just our white whining, this was nerdcore militant Blackness taking torches and pitchforks to Brooks' poor-shaming and white-splaining. If there's anyone in the universe who hates Brooks more than Driftglass, it's Mr. White.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00126776609038891088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-85002739348953128332015-05-02T16:22:26.023-05:002015-05-02T16:22:26.023-05:00You ever think of doing a Photoshop of Mr. Brooks ...<i>You ever think of doing a Photoshop of Mr. Brooks as Robin Williams' floating head in "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen?"</i><br /><br />I imagine that a Phop already exists in the Driftglass archives of Brooks as Peter Cook from "Princess Bridge" (Mawage, that bwessed awangment, that dweam wifin a dweam).Smut Clydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409476490132867809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-34119408246865061132015-05-02T10:49:37.834-05:002015-05-02T10:49:37.834-05:00Good morning, Ivory Bill Woodpecker.

In which he whined about one of his clients who drives his new Mercedes to the office to pick up his bennies, while another wears a new fur coat, and he has seen (with these two eyes that the grave will soon devour) any number of his clients buying steak and lobster with their food stamps.<br /><br />So either Zombie Reagan has clawed his way up from the tomb and is penning "Dear Penthouse Forum, I never thought this would happen to me..." letters to the Post or the stories as told by that B list actor have taken on a life of their own. A fifty year life, which is more than some impoverished humans are granted.<br /><br />In any case, some people clearly hate the poor so much that they will believe any stupid lie about them and force upon them any degradation and humiliation in exchange for every scrap of assistant that society might bestow.Mike Lumishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14083545582415707582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-15244715739667425842015-05-01T23:30:54.234-05:002015-05-01T23:30:54.234-05:00I like the link to "Yes.

That at least would deprive this insufferable pompous ass of his principal platform.
