In The Doghouse
I was recently chastised by Dramaqueensdebut again, who you may remember from an earlier posting, for my pop at her regarding her spelling and grammar. I must admit I was troubled by my own behaviour - maybe I am out of touch with the 'yoof' of today - she's read The Da Vinci Code which must mean she's "a supurb (sic) reader". Besides which, given the absolute paranoia stalking the dear old US of A these days, perhaps my behaviour could be interpreted as terrorism and God knows I wouldn't wish to end up at Stalagluft Guatanamo Bay with Kamp Komandant Rumsfeld and Oberarbeitkommandant Bush (dodgy German spelling aside).
My innocent birthday celebrations at the local dog racing track also incurred the wrath of another concerned reader. I must plead a degree of naivety with regard to dog racing - I thought greyhounds were lovingly treated and cossetted by their owners, after all the dogs earn money for them. Perhaps this is a rosy view of what goes on and if anyone has evidence to the contrary I'm prepared to listen. I hope that undertaking goes a little way to restoring the respect of the reader in question.

Aha! Just the kind of wishy-washy liberal flanel we expect from a Y-frontoutsidethetrousersdavid steeleapologist like you. Why not publish the comments so we can decide for ourselves.
Excuse me! Do not Preach terrorism OR Bush to me! Do you think all Americans are Republicans? I think not! I happen to VERY opposed to Bush and I happen to believe that all the terrorist crap was publicity. Why should we condem a whole country because of a handful of idiots who call themselves Muslim? I am also opposed to other things that Bush does. One more thing, what was the smart-ass remark about the Da-Vinci code? I was simply trying to prove that no averege seventh grader reads that material and by calling me remedial in my english was misjudging. Please dont stereotype all americans to be BigMac stuffed, illiterate, repulicans. I am sure there are some who fit this descriptian here, but i truly doubt things are heaven on your side of the world
