I, yi, yi. How someone could take that as being demeaning to injured soldiers is flabergasting.

They can take it as demeaning to injured soldiers because the want take it as demeaning to injured soldiers. How else to rouse the rabble on the Right?

I've spent an unreasonable amount of thought on the line Janet sings in Rocky Horror: "His lust is so sincere". Now, on the surface, that's a big "DUH!" because that's the nature of lust. But wait: Brad has earlier sung about how hot he is for her, and it's pretty clear he's just being conventional. Brad's lust is not sincere.

Now, I could swill green mead and gnaw raw meat with sincere lust. As for kimchee and lutefisk, well, those would be just for effect. And if I'm just going for effect, I might as well wear a tie. And pants.
