Hate Mail From The Drooling Fool

"You're the standard white-focused pop-music hack who proved he was ignorant of a major black artist."

You mean Prince? Oh wait -- when he died, YOU were the one saying he was unimportant, not me.

I recall writing two things about Prince, here is one, as it was posted:

Honoring Prince By Slamming His Religion
Looking around the blog babblers, it's so funny how many of them are honoring the late musician Prince by using his death as an occasion to bash God and Jesus and Christianity when Prince began life as a Seventh Day Adventist and ended it by being a Jehovah's Witness. 

Such is the deep integrity of the atheist blog babble and their pretense of respect for the guy who died yesterday. 

Update:  On the contrary, while I don't have a lot of use for his music I have a lot of respect for Prince over his stand on artistic control and integrity and an artist owning his material.  I also don't agree with his religious choices but respect the ones he made. 

Update:  You, dopey, think everything has to be either you're totally in favor of someone or you declare them to be an idiot.  I can agree that someone is very talented and intelligent without necessarily liking their music.  Handel is one case where I acknowledge that,  Miles Davis is another one.   I don't have to like someones' music to respect them.  You on the other hand, are neither someone I respect, someone I like nor anything but an idiot.

I don't recall but I suspect the idiot addressed, as so often the idiot I do address, was you.

Here is the beginning of the second one.

The Shame Of Maine Would Have Let Prince Die A Week Ago
You might think you have a rotten governor but, really, has any of them vetoed a measure to save people who took a drug overdoes because it just means they're going to die of another anyway?  Even as we have record breaking numbers of opioid overdose deaths*?

TMZ is reporting that, six days before he passed, Prince was forced to make an emergency stop in Moline on his way home from an Atlanta concert date for the purpose of having a "save shot" that would reverse a possible opiate overdose. It's hard to imagine today, but this could have been worse: He could have had to land in Maine.

But in his veto letter sent to lawmakers on Wednesday, LePage said the bill would allow pharmacists "to dispense naloxone to practically anyone who asks for it." "Naloxone does not truly save lives; it merely extends them until the next overdose," LePage wrote, repeating a contention that has caused controversy before. "Creating a situation where an addict has a heroin needle in one hand and a shot of naloxone in the other produces a sense of normalcy and security around heroin use that serves only to perpetuate the cycle of addiction."   

Of all the Republican governors who have run their states into the ditch over the past seven years, human bowling jacket Paul LePage is the most perfect combination of policy ignorance and boneheaded, talk-show confidence in his own righteousness of them all. He's an embarrassment to enlightened democracy. Hell, he's an embarrassment to human thought. But he's also a cautionary tale for us as a country.

Yep, I've been saying that for the past seven years, beginning when it was obvious that the millionaire vanity candidate, Eliot Cutler, would be running as a spoiler.  Too conservative for Maine Democrats - and considering how conservative the past two Democratic governors have been, that's saying something - Cutler did the Maine Independent thing of running as a self-financed independent, putting the worst governor in our state's modern history into office, not once, but twice...

Now, I think you've humiliated yourself enough using my blog to do so, go soil yourself at Duncan's sheltered workshop for the clueless.

Update:  I was tempted to say that your comment was post-literate but, really, it's just simelarkey, trying to misrepresent what was said by pretending it means what it clearly doesn't.   I wonder, is your habit of mendacity a familial trait?  I seem to recall a lawyer by your name getting into quite a bit of trouble over lying.
