Two Reasons You Shouldn't Watch The Return of the King (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition) And Read Hugh Hewitt During The Same Weekend

Posted by Hubris

First reason: Why are you spending your weekend watching DVDs and reading blogs? Make love to a woman or man you really care about, for chrissake.

Second reason: When you read this:

But I don't think W ever second guessed his manager when, in the top of the sixth, the manager made a decision the owner found inscrutable.
That's the difference between an owner and a sportswriter. One lives to win. The other lives to write good copy.

...you'll inevitably be reminded of when Denethor tries to burn himself and his son Faramir alive on a funeral pyre. Hugh likely identifies strongly with royal guardsman/flunky #2, who thinks to himself: "Hey, this is some pretty freaky inscrutable shit, but what do I know? Have at it, sire."

Brilliant.

Miers, as a cipher, was a decent candidate. But her inability to impress anyone (positively) in two weeks of meet-n-greets has turned me from thumbs-up, to two thumbs-down.

The humor about Hewitt is funny, but let's not berate the guy...

To paraphrase Allah, if you don't let Denethor immolate himself and Faramir, then the terrorists have already won.

Or is Hugh Faramir, suicidally charging a small contingent of men into the fortified ranks of the orcs and uruk-hai, just to prove his loyalty to Denethor?

So wait... if Hugh is Faramir then who are the Orcs? Liberals are certainly not scary enough to be Orcs.

How likely is it that a Lord of the Rings fan is going to get involved in a lovemaking act that involves an actual other person?

It is written in the script of Bloggor, which I shall not utter here.

I tried, and she told me to 'cut it out'.
