The Art of Not Irritating Me


Help me out, please. How is it grammatically correct to call people, who are protesting the policies or actions of President George W. Bush, "anti-Bush protesters"? Isn't that a double negative? If one protests things that are anti-Bush, isn't one supporting Bush? (Think "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," people.) I hear this phrase, this "anti-Bush protesters" phrase, on NPR. I hear it everywhere, actually, but it bothers me more on NPR. Aren't they actually talking about "anti-Bush DEMONSTRATORS"? Or, perhaps, "Bush protesters"? I believe that they are.

Thanks to lolgeeks for this Donald Knuth picture. It halps.


And here, with all of the twitching you'd see if you said something like "the reason why is because..." in front of me, is last week's twitchy playlist:

Bloodlust


I'm not going to lie to you. I am going to kill tonight. This fly has been buzzing me all evening and I'm sick of it. He's been strafing my apartment.

And here, almost as if I'd dipped that insipid fly's little puddies in ink and had him dance all over three weeks' worth of blank playlists, are three weeks' worth of completed playlists:
