The wankers still live

It has been months if not years since I'd last heard from the masturbation brigade. But evidently some of the desperate creatures still draw breath and still have nothing better to do. An anonymous spammer left me the benefit of its considered thoughts - an illiterate one-line note full of jailbird language - on the subject of Roman Polanski. Get ready for a fandom_wank entry charging me with sympathy with rapists, even though nothing I wrote had anything to do with Polanski himself.

More symptoms of insanity on the American right

In yesterday's American Thinker, a man with the Italian name of Bonelli wrote the following, extremely offensive statement:

The United States is different from most other countries in many ways. One unique aspect of our country is that our elected officials, officers of the court, and the military, all pledge their allegiance to the Constitution and not to an office, individual or party. This assures continuity of the ideals set forth by the founders.

As an Italian citizen, I have personally sworn to defend the Constitution of my country when I served in the Italian army. The presumption involved in this ignorant display of insular arrogance is an insult to every constitutional government in the world.
