It seems I pissed someone off. And not even the person I was intending to.
But wait, there's more....I even got threats of physical violence, too!
wOOt!
I'VE HIT THE BIG TIME, BABY!
You see, I've been waiting almost two years for this to happen. I've toiled in obscurity for so damn long, just begging for someone to declare the desire to whack me on the shins with a seven iron! I prayed to God. I wondered when my time in the spotlight would come. I worked hard, hoping that it could, but gosh, I will admit, I was beginning to lose faith. I didn't think it could ever happen to me! I really didn't! Geez, I'm so surprised. It's like winning an Oscar or even a Golden Globe!
I feel like I should have a speech prepared. First, I'd like to thank the Academy...
Hot damn! I am so frickin' excited I can't hardly believe it!
And all this on a post that a. wasn't directed at Learned Foot and b. he didn't bother to read. Does it get better than that? Oh, it just might!
The phrase "ad hominem attacks" was used! Tee frickin' hee!
I ask you, my devoted Cake Eater Readers, does it get any better than that? I don't think so.
Oh man! It's like Christmas came on my birthday or something! It's just too much to ask for!
Shit. I think I need to break out the whisky to celebrate this one.
UPDATE: Someone over at Kool Aid Report deleted my trackback! And after I went to all that trouble to manually ping them, too.
Classy stuff, that.

All I can is "Geaux and get 'em!"
Cake Eater Mom and I will sit back and enjoy the fireworks.

I guess I'm numbered among your "mouth-breathing cheerleaders." Wow. He didn't just insult you, but your readers too! Nice.
I read your post, and I agree for the most part. Particularly about the part of pharmacy monopoly. In some locales, the nearest pharmacy is 20 minutes away and the second nearest is 4 hours away. I've lived there. I know that of which I speak.
But suppose it weren't just about birth control. What happens if your pharmacist all of a sudden decides that the vast majority of drugs are "against God's grand plan?" There are people who believe that all ills can be corrected by prayer and you need not take pills or seek medical attention. So what if you get one of those people dispensing medications?
If they feel morally disinclined to fill any prescription, ANY prescription, then that fact should be very clearly posted before you ever hand over your slip. Otherwise, that person has denied you your right. He may have the right to refuse you service, but he doesn't get to hold you or your prescription hostage. Then he is imposing his beliefs on you - and this is wrong.
But, congratulations. First that montezz woman, now this. I can say I knew you when.
Posted by: Phoenix at May 17, 2005 07:53 AMThe deleting of trackbacks never ceases to amaze me. It's so petty, so afraid.
Posted by: red at May 17, 2005 10:13 AMYay Trolls!!!!
I love trolls, especially when they’re so petty and insignificant they delete trackbacks.
Oh and for a closing argument on their Religious / Moral Bit. Isn’t one of the big Ten, Thou shalt not Steal: By definition, Steal: to take something that belongs to somebody else, illegally or without the owner’s permission
Now when the Pharmacists takes the prescription and refuses to fill it or give it back to the person they have stolen the prescription from them. I’ve been taught that all sins are equal, so this means the pharmacist in an effort to prevent a sin from occurring has actually sinned.
Or maybe I'm just looking at it wrong too.
