The Kentucky Woolite® Code

Dear Dr. Bones,

A Sheep in Sheep’s Clothing williamstowndem | Sun, Nov 6, 2011 6:07 PM EST By Lee Harrison, Chairman, Berkshire Brigades Still hiding behind a barn jacket and a big smile, Senator Scott Brown is hoping.... (...)

"Is that code?" as Geoff Peterson would say. First Responders….Transit modernization…Public Schools…College Modernization…educator… Or, to put it more simply – unless you are a public union worker or on the state bid list and paying Pacheco wages – No Soup for You. Preserve the jobs of people who haven’t missed a paycheck. porcupine @ Sun 6 Nov 7:32 PM

Of course it is code. ¿What else could it be?

The Demoncrat scribbler labels Senator Fratboy "a sheep," adding some irrelevant sartorial details. Then he complains, at length, that this very same frathouse animal always acts like a wolf. once Party Neocomrade A. M. McConnell has reminded it what species it belongs to. [1]

In the same code, which is no longer much of a secret, one writes "a porcupine" to convey (approximately) "a steady and temperate well-wisher of her holy Homeland™’s good."

Happy days.

[1] Even Fratboy can be made a serious topic, if one perseveres a little. Or wanders off topic just a couple of hare’s breaths to rail against the Funders of Fratboy LLC.

Far more ‘revealing’ though (his own word) would be a thorough account of E-comrade ‘williamstowndem’, concerning whom all sorts of interesting questions arise, beginning with "¿Can he *really* believe that A. M. McConnell must hold, literally or figuratively, the paw of S. Ph. Brown every single time the latter casts a vote?

Now, Republicanines are no doubt a little short on bestembrightness. And of course only their third-raters an’ below go into politics, instead of off to the H*rv*rd Victory School, an’ then, by G*lly, it’s _¡Morgen die ganze Welt!_ time at the M. B. A. Corral! (Especially the offshore _Welt_, but I perceive that I digress...)

Anyway, ¿Might not his firstlordship the Majority Leader say to Fratboy, "Look here, Sonny: you always bark ‘¡NO!’ unless I or the Freiherr Untersturmleiter von Kantor specifically tell you different."? [*]

For a genuine political party, that plan ought to reduce conference inefficiency by about half, it being ordinarily a toss-up whether ¡Yay! or Neigh signifies support for reaction. Given the peculiarities of America’s Otherparty, however, an’ especially the Party neocomrades’ position vis-à-vis The Régime just at present, the time and energy saved ought to be more like ninety-five (95) percent (%).

It would certainly have avoided all fuss an’ bother in this case.

[*] It would be a shame to darken a Monday morning on the exalted slopes of the Great Blue Hill with any seriousness not thoroughly fake, but when it gets to be the middle of week, the Blazers might worry a little about who tells A. M. McConnell what to tell S. Ph. Brown. And through what channels, exactly.

I notice that ‘Williamstowndem’ seems to think the Spirit of Kentucky has something to do with it: "Scott Brown’s votes surely played well among his Kentucky mentors..." and --¿ain’t we got fun?-- that the Spirit of KY has it in for our own dear MA, "it was a direct attack on hard-pressed middle-class Massachusetts families." Sort of like Juno and Neptune and Carthage and a’ that, ¿doncha know?

Makes me wish I was easy-pressed and rolling in the blue grass with Secretariat and Dr. Johnson [1764, Ætat. 55], it does!
