Dear Dr. Bones,
Golly! [0]
The _Herald_ angels have sure found "the cuttin’ edge of societal" freedumbin’-down:
| Boston University history professor Brendan McConville said, “Basically when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting,’ and the British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside, they hear church bells ringing — she was right about that — and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate.” |
A thoroughly worthy servant of John Silber Antistate College is Neocomrade Prof. Doc. B. X. McConville. Though I agree with our friend Paddy in wishing this ingenious Party neomechanism’s ethnicity were a bit less prominent.
Even in darkest Foxcuckooland, however, there is the occasional glimmer of _éclaircissement_:
| McConville said he also is not convinced that Palin’s remarks reflect scholarship. “I would call her lucky in her comments,” McConville said. |
(( DIGRESSION: Nobooby’s perfect, not even Master Brendan. Obviously Neocomrade Governess S. L. Heath-Paling of AK-49 is more, not less, to be admired because her freeladyship relies upon Fortuna rather than Eruditio, or Virtus, or any such shabby an’ Cinderella-like drudges of allegory. America’s Otherparty has always aspired to be The Happy Band of Winners, and the highest common factor of all winners is that Ms. Fortuna has smiled on them. Ms. Clio and thou and I may wish that ‘scholarship’ guaranteed one a smile, but obviously
| ’That is not the way the world really works anymore. WE are an Empire now, and when WE act, WE create OUR OWN reality. And while you’re studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- WE will act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. WE are history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what WE do. |
(( Karl, Freelord Rove, did not explain in so many words who it was that made THEM a reality-creatin’ Empire now, yet his freelordship hardly needed to: _aut Fortuna aut diabolus_ is the only possible answer. The inferrer can infer, by the way, from this really central passage, The Key to All Neocomradology almost, that his Imperial freelordship does not have a great deal of respect for ‘scholarship’, even if he probably considered Mr. Ron Suskind, to whom this oracle was vouchsafed, not much better than a journalist.
(( So when Neocomrade Prof. Dr. B. X. McConville goes to cash in his own lucky lottery ticket (sc. bein’ called on by Neocomrade Ch. X. Cassidy of _The Boston Humbug_ to lead the parade of Experts [who] back Sarah Palin’s historical account), he should avoid the window behind which Freelord Rove or some known Rovan client sits. America’s Otherparty is not *all* Philistines, though it would be silly to pretend that many of their freelordships make ‘scholarship’ the rabbit’s-foot of choice.
(( And in future, the neocomrade perfesser might do well not to go on about ‘lucky’ out loud where he may be overheard: the Band of Happy Winners would, for obvious reasons, prefer to keep to themselves exactly what it takes to qualify for admission. END DIGRESSION. ))

‘Alaskatise’ I suggest judæochristen this latest ... ahem ... dingalingery, the postgallant an’ neolearnèd practitioners thereof bein’ ‘wasillasperts.’ [1]
Like any other infant scientism, Alaskatise can not reasonably be expected to slay all its dragons in the first ten microseconds. Specifically, the PG&NL wiseguys are still faced with two closely related problems to the one so brilliantly solved:
(A) A really full proof would establish that Mr. Revere and Mr. Dawes were NOT simply trying to warn every last woodchuck and rhododendron bush in Middlesex County (or world wide) either (A) about Governor Gage and his armed Torycomrades [2] or (B) about the MAHANGTIAM [3] attitudes of the Massachusetts Bay Live-Free-or-Pay Association.
(B) More urgent is to find a way to ease Party Neocomradess M. M. Amble-Bachmann off her freeladyship’s self-swallowed hook. Presumably these cited wasillaspurts are aware that what is now ME was part of MA under the prudent (and Pserious and generally paulryanesque) Gov. Gage. Also that the town in New Hampshire now called ‘Concord’ was then ‘Rumsford’. Also that Benjamin Thomson, born in No. Woburn, achieved whight-wing apotheosis in his day as _Reichsgraf von Rumsford_. [4]
Finally, ¿is not Peter Peterson the zeroth Freelord of Concord in the neopeerage of Wingnut City, thanks to his freelordship’s zeal for Gage-Thomson-Ryan-Bachmann-Paling family-financial values? ¡Of course he is!
Admittedly I don’t quite see, myself, exactly how to squint at that little heap of erudition so that it fully vindicates the Freedame of Amble-Bachmann, but if I could, we wouldn’t need specialists in baked and half-baked Alaska Tease, now, ¿would we? And since we remain still under the dark wing of the Crawford Crash, sir, we ought to welcome the birth of whole new perfessions and hope as many now disemployed folks rush into them as soon and as quickly as possible.
Happy days (through affordable healthcare)

[0] Gol - ¡LEE!
[1] Perhaps a Yoo in the last syllable would be better? Or maybe "Wasilla spurts" would sound a little disresepctful of our Neobetters?
[2] "Mad as [a moonbat] an’ not gonna take it any more"
[3] The chances are very high that our now Tee Putty an’ Party neocomrades an’ unaffillitted kiddie selfservatives would have preferred fiscal responsibility in 1775 at least as ferociously as they do in 2011. Moreover, it goes absolutely without barkin’ that they would never have countenanced that vandalism incident of 16 December 1773. "History is bunk," revealed to them Their Ford. Rather a rash generalization, I’d say, though nobody can deny that it gets bunkier real fast once Rio Limbaugh an’ the _Boston Humbug_ start attendin’ to it.
[4] True, the Empire in question tottered to its fall only fifteen years later. This, however, was scarcely his freelordship of Rumsford’s fault.
