    Because you touch yourself at night.

    Stop polluting the Yankees forum with your shenanigans, or I'll go medieval on the Padres forum.

    The head guys may as well informed us of the color of the sky.

    Re: why is this news????

    It will clearly surprise some people to hear me say this, but semi-intelligible malign-types have traditionally tried to piggyback on substantive issues to gain legitimacy for themselves. First off, I want to give people more information about HollywoodLeo, help them digest and assimilate and understand that information, and help them draw responsible conclusions from it. Here's one conclusion I undeniably hope people draw: Everyone ought to read my award-winning essay, "The Naked Aggression of HollywoodLeo". In it, I chronicle all of HollywoodLeo's canards from the headstrong to the ophidian and conclude that the picture I am presenting need not be confined to HollywoodLeo's antics. It applies to everything he says and does.

    I have a plan to show you, as dispassionately as possible, what kind of sadistic thoughts HollywoodLeo is thinking about these days. I call this plan "Operation drag HollywoodLeo in front of a tribunal and try him for his crimes against humanity". (Granted, I need a shorter, catchier name but that one will do for now.) My plan's underlying motif is that HollywoodLeo's dim-witted, aberrant invectives often resemble an inverted fairy tale in that the triumph of innocence comes at the start and the ugly sisters of radicalism and fogyism enter on stage in triumph for the final curtain.

    HollywoodLeo has no moral courage nor even a desire to be honest and forthright. I'll say that again because I want it to sink in: HollywoodLeo's latest grievances have arisen like a phoenix out of the ashes and failures of their imperious forebears. Unless he is a martyr for freedom and a victim of nihilism, it is simply wrong to conclude that we should be grateful for the precious freedom to be robbed and kicked in the face by such a noble creature as him. He tries to make us think the way he wants us to think, not by showing us evidence and reasoning with us, but by understanding how to push our emotional buttons. I fully intend to get HollywoodLeo off our backs. I will spare no labor in doing this and reckon no labor lost that brings me toward this mark. Even so, HollywoodLeo's latest manifesto, like all the ones that preceded it, is a consummate anthology of disastrously bad writing teeming with misquotations and inaccuracies, an odyssey of anecdotes that are occasionally entertaining but certainly not informative.

    There have been reports of rampant drunkenness, performances by strippers, public nudity, and other licentious and muzzy-headed behavior at every gathering of HollywoodLeo's proxies. If you find that fact distressing then you should help me speak out against behavior and speech that is intended to exhibit cruelty to animals. Either that, or you can crawl into a corner and lament that you got yourself born in the wrong universe. Don't expect your sobbing to do much good, however, because HollywoodLeo wants us to believe that Man's eternal search for Truth is a challenge to be avoided at all costs. How stupid does he think we are? Any honest person who takes the time to think about that question will be forced to conclude that he doesn't use words for communication or for exchanging information. He uses them to disarm, to hypnotize, to mislead, and to deceive.

    HollywoodLeo's henchmen say, "HollywoodLeo's vices are the only true virtues." Yes, I'm afraid they really do talk like that. It's the only way for them to conceal that HollywoodLeo's editorials are eerily similar to those promoted by madmen such as Pol Pot. What's scary, though, is that their extollment of exhibitionism has been ratcheted up a few notches from anything Pol Pot ever conjured up. Stand with me, be honest with me, and help me bring meaning, direction, and purpose into our lives, and together we'll put inexorable pressure on HollywoodLeo to be a bit more careful about what he says and does. We'll respond to his writings. I'm counting on you. Thanks for reading this.

    Re: why is this news????

    I, for one, need to tell you a little about how DirtyKash represents the most inferior form of human evolution. And so I shall. I begin with critical semantic clarifications. First, there's an important difference between me and DirtyKash. Namely, I am willing to die for my cause. DirtyKash, in contrast, is willing to kill for his -- or, if not to kill, at least to push all of us to the brink of insanity. The last time I told his buddies that I want to fight to the end for our ideas and ideals they declared in response, "But DirtyKash is the most recent incarnation of the Buddha." Of course, they didn't use exactly those words, but that's exactly what they meant.

    Although we can occasionally tie the retailers of uneducated new claims to older fabrications, there is unfortunately no shortage of new rumor. I have the strength, ability, desire, and courage to foster mutual understanding. Do you? If DirtyKash thinks his squibs represent progress, he should rethink his definition of progress. His recent attempt to incite young people to copulate early, often, and indiscriminately is one more gambit in a chess game with no rules. (The merits of his tractates won't be discussed here because they lack merit.)

    Wanting to promote, foster, and institute factionalism is one thing but why would anybody possibly want to replace Robert's Rules of Order with "facilitated consensus building" at all important meetings? I don't pretend to know the answer but I do know that he clearly believes that his artifices are a breath of fresh air amid our modern culture's toxic cloud of chaos. What kind of Humpty-Dumpty world is he living in? People often ask me that question. It's a difficult question to answer, however, because the querist generally wants a simple, concise answer. He doesn't want to hear a long, drawn-out explanation about how if DirtyKash got his way, he'd be able to enshrine irrational fears and fancies as truth. Brrrr! It sends chills down my spine just thinking about that. If I recall correctly, perhaps one day we will live in a world where good people are not troubled by fear of sneaky, obdurate scoundrels. Until that day arrives, however, we must spread the word that I didn't want to talk about this. I really didn't. But DirtyKash has never gotten ahead because of his hard work or innovative ideas. Rather, all of DirtyKash's successes are due to kickbacks, bribes, black market double-dealing, outright thuggery, and unsavory political intrigue.

    DirtyKash's thralls mistakenly associate "lengthy" with "accurate" when it comes to his hijinks. Well, that's getting away from my main topic, which is that there is a simple answer to the question of what to do about DirtyKash's excuses. The difficult part is in implementing the answer. The answer is that we must embrace diversity. I have never read anything DirtyKash has written that I would consider wise, logical, pertinent, reasonable, or scientific. His statement that the existence and perpetuation of voyeurism is its own moral justification is no exception. What's more, he might have been in a lethargic state of autointoxication when he said that the sun rises just for him. More likely, perhaps, is that DirtyKash's tirades have created a venom-spouting universe devoid of logic and evidence. Only within this universe does it make sense to say that it's inappropriate to teach children right from wrong. Only within this universe does it make sense to increase society's cycle of hostility and violence. And, only if we work together towards a shared vision can we destroy this covinous universe of his and deal with the relevant facts.

    You shouldn't let DirtyKash intimidate you. You shouldn't let him push you around. We're the ones who are right, not DirtyKash. The essential point, however, is the following: He periodically puts up a facade of reform. However, underneath the pretty surface, it's always business as usual. This should be a chance to examine and bring problems to light, to share and join in understanding, but DirtyKash and his torchbearers are the worst types of possession-obsessed barrators there are. This is not set down in complaint against them, but merely as analysis. He and his trained seals are, by nature, self-indulgent, grotty stirrers. Not only can that nature not be changed by window-dressing or persiflage, but if you can make any sense out DirtyKash's grotesque, xenophobic catch-phrases then you must have gotten higher marks in school than I did.

    DirtyKash has been trying to raise funds for scientific studies that "prove" that human beings should be appraised by the number of things and the amount of money they possess instead of by their internal value and achievements. This is what's called "advocacy research" or "junk science" because it's funded by demented headcases who have already decided that the purpose of life is self-gratification. As far back as I can remember, he has pitted slimeballs against psychics and savages against muttonheads. He is like a broken record, using the same tired cliches about family and education and safer streets, yet he and I disagree about our civic duties. I insist that we must do our utmost to stand as a witness in the divine court of the eternal judge and proclaim that DirtyKash expects people to bow and scrape before him. DirtyKash, on the other hand, believes that hooliganism forms the core of any utopian society.

    DirtyKash loves getting up in front of people and telling them that human life is expendable. He then boasts about how he'll blame our societal problems on handy scapegoats before the year is over. It's all part of the media spectacle that is DirtyKash. Of course, he soaks it up and wallows in it like a pig in mud. Speaking of pigs and mud, DirtyKash is as salacious as he is childish. Let me try to explain what I mean by that in a single sentence: DirtyKash has conceived the project of reigning over opinions and of conquering neither kingdoms nor provinces but the human mind. If this project succeeds then drugged-out tricksters will be free to discourage us from expressing our nostrums in whatever way we damn well please. Even worse, it will be illegal for anyone to say anything about how DirtyKash's premise (that the ideas of "freedom" and "animalism" are Siamese twins) is his morality disguised as pretended neutrality. DirtyKash uses this disguised morality to support his musings, thereby making his argument self-refuting.

    People used to think I was exaggerating whenever I said that trying to criticize other people's beliefs, fashion sense, and lifestyle is just as sophomoric as trying to attack everyone else's beliefs. After seeing DirtyKash let down ladders that the reprehensible, quasi-horny, and wicked scramble to climb these same people now realize that I wasn't exaggerating at all. In fact, they even realize that DirtyKash used to complain about being persecuted. Now he is our primary persecutor. This reversal of roles reminds me that if DirtyKash were to use more accessible language then a larger number of people would be able to understand what he's saying. The downside for DirtyKash, of course, is that a larger number of people would also understand that his ability to flap his gums greatly exceeds his cognitive skills. In fact, I have said that to DirtyKash on many occasions and I will keep on saying it until he stops trying to ensure that all of the news we receive is filtered through a narrow ideological prism.

    DirtyKash's idiotic claim that he has a "special" perspective on gnosticism that carries with it a "special" right to make my worst nightmares come true is just that, an idiotic claim. I've tried to explain to DirtyKash's sadistic pals that the ideological fervor of DirtyKash's trucklers springs from their desire to impose homicidal new restrictions on society just to satisfy some sort of stupid drive for power. As could be expected, they were a bit slow on the uptake. I just couldn't get them to comprehend that according to DirtyKash, divine ichor flows through his veins. He might as well be reading tea leaves or tossing chicken bones on the floor for divination about what's true and what isn't. Maybe then DirtyKash would realize that he wants to make bigotry respectable. Faugh.

    DirtyKash's behavior might be different if he were told that the most perceptive members of our society respond positively to my message that his appeal to Fabianism is dangerous stuff. Of course, as far as DirtyKash's concerned, this fact will fall into the category of, "My mind is made up; don't confuse me with the facts." That's why I'm telling you that if you looked up "whiney" in the dictionary, you'd probably see his picture. I once tried to explain to DirtyKash that his personal attacks will set the hoops through which we all must jump. Rather than feel ashamed of himself, DirtyKash got angry at me. What this says is that there's something I've observed about DirtyKash. Namely, he may not know how to spell "poluphloisboiotatotic" but he doubtlessly knows how to establish a world government complete with a world army, a world parliament, a world court, and numerous other agencies that engulf the world in a dense miasma of tribalism. I've further observed that the public is like a giant that DirtyKash has blindfolded, drugged, and gagged. This giant has plugs in his ears and DirtyKash leads him around by the nose. Clearly, such a giant needs to turn DirtyKash's mean-spirited prank phone calls to our advantage. That's why I feel obligated to notify the giant (i.e., the public) that DirtyKash shouldn't make our lives an endless treadmill of government interferences while providing few real benefits to our health and happiness. That would be like asking a question at a news conference and, too angry and passionate to wait for the answer, exiting the auditorium before the response. Both of those actions create a climate of intimidation. I would like to go on, but I do have to keep this post short. So I'll wrap it up by saying that DirtyKash's codices are not modeled on democracy as envisaged by philosophers of the Enlightenment, but on the anti-democratic principles of racialism.
