It’s dated March 2011, but I wrote that back when I was “Ed Anger” for much of 2009.

Looking back, I gotta say — for something I’d treat as kind of a chore and write at 7am the morning it was due, after barely one coffee — this still has its charms:
Why are we having a big parade for a bunch of weirdos who pray to the Pope, believe in fairies and blow each other up? (…)

Ralph Nader fellow should’ve left General Motors alone and gone after the Kennedys. Their cars should have warning labels instead of bumper stickers. (…)
[S]tay away from all those crazy parades or you’ll end up praying to the wrong Jesus!
