The dear Doctor seems to be confused about the difference between the social role of the Court Jester and the social role of the Village Idiot. The Village Idiot was simply the local schiztophrenic who smelled bad and spouted nonsense. The Court Jester, on the other hand, was someone who could provide necessary commentary on the goings on of the court through humor.
I was tempted to call it ironic that the Doctor confused the two, but then I realized that it was just plain sad.
I'm pretty sure that Sally Struthers played a major role in the Dr.'s JD degree. As for being a rhetoritician - there's no way in hell anyone outside of the Right Wing Hate industry would pay this dunce money for what he writes. (I'm sure that Ann Coulter is a big fan.)
sorry that the filters they have on me will bastardize my message, but you should be able to get the gist: This is not meant to antagonize.
do not be easily fooled. I am a lifelong democrat and teach at a very left wing university. You seem to be a reasonably bright human being, perhaps even brighter than many here.
For that reason, I am perplexed at your willingness to tap into the party line regarding the dr.kodos persona. If you are at all familiar with the concept of equivocal rhetoric, then you are familiar with the idea that people read into things based on personal biasis and preconceived ideas. It is all to easy to pull the string and take people where the already want to go.
Be that as it may, I enjoy your commentary, but am saddened at you inability to see through smoke and mirrors, but I guess that comes with the territory of dealing with a bunch of users that are mostly young, lost souls.
As for Sally Struthers, no I am afraid not, but I did find that funny.
I am sorry that you have choosen to react in knee jerk fashion in the same way that the undereducated and mentaly threatened have, but that is your perogative.
You were built up to be a man of sagacity and insight, and I look forward to that side of your on-site persona, but your responses to me have reached for the lowest common denominator, and in the end you have proven to a larger group than you realize, that you too, are suffering from being only too sure of yourself to the point of being absurdy off the mark.
Is it not possible that you are incorrect about me and I you?
I am certainly man enough to realize my impressions of people are many times inaccurate. Are you? For despite you insistancies, I assure you, you have been very far waylaid from the truth.
well said dorkos. let me know how the G.E.D. goes for you..I hear its easier the fourth time.. (and I think it's cute the way your mom cuts your sandwiches in quarters rather than halves..)
