the pronoun of DOOM!

April 26, 2005

After reading in the Voice this week about Stop Her Now, the Swift Boat-style advocacy group trying to take down Hillary, I did a bit of googling and discovered that arse poetica said it rather more humorously than I was going to anyway:

Calling all deconstructionists and semioticians! “Stop Her Now,” whoo. I could go on that for weeks. Her. How sinister! (Or not.) Beware the succubus! (Or not.) The witch will eat your children! (Or not.)

It’s hard to believe that in these advanced (sic) years of human evolution something as transparent, insipid, and anti-woman as this could pass the giggle test, let alone the Dark Political Overlord Come to Instill Fear of Senator Vagina Dentata Market Research test.

On another blog, Greg Sargent comments “all you need is the pronoun with this crowd, apparently.”

    Jen,
    Thanks for the link! I’m usually too annoyed to be funny, so I appreciate the props. =D

    Great site. Keep on.

    P.S. I signed in under my partner’s blog name, because I didn’t want to set up a Blogger account. I wonder if this doesn’t prevent others from leaving comments. Just in case, you can look up “blogger hacks” in Google, which will lead you to some code that you can place in your Blogger template, and voila! Folks from other platforms will be able to leave comments linking to their actual sites. Anyhoo, thanks again!

    Thanks for the compliment! A little funny here and there is enough, methinks.
