The Reactionary Blogger: Reacting to Footnote Accusation.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 6 comments link this post

Mark, I¹ have² long had³ a thing⁴ for footnotes*; it's no secret⁵.

-----------------------------------
Footnotes

¹There is too much "I" in my writing, but I (oops) have difficulty in finding other ways to refer to myself without using the the rather rude and inaccurate method of "you" as a general reference to people. So, I (ack) use "I."

²A fine present-tense expression of ownership^2B.

³The past tense version of footnote number 2.

⁴ The Thing is one of John Carpenter's better films, in my opinion.

⁵Despite it's premium price tag, Secret is not the best deodorant. Suave, which has a lower price-point, works just as well.

------------------------------------
Footnote Footnotes

^2BThis could possibly lead to a discussion on the reality of ownership. Do we own anything, really? Can living beings^2B-B with limited living potential "own" anything?

----------------------
Um....

^2B-B By living beings, I'm meaning humans.

------------------------

*In a jolting move of irony, only the word "footnotes" has no footnote. It does, however, have an asterisk.

The Reactionary Blogger: Reacting to Ahmadinejad's visit to Columbia University.

Ahmadinejad is full of shit.

So is Columbia University.

"There was no Holocaust!"

"We are interested in free speech and challenging ideas!"

How many bodies in mass graves?

How many speakers booed off the stage?

Full of shit.

Both.
