I'll stick with Jesse's "Huh." because otherwise I will say things unpleasant and stress myself out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

ita, that's absolutely wonderful. I hope it can stay that way too.

Tom, seriously? How weird. And validating, I presume!

Okra = gross. Sorry, okra lovers. Your taste buds are wrong.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

for me it is about okra's texture. I don't find the taste unpleasant. but the texture is just too much.

Okra = gross boiled, neutral in gumbo, and nummy good when breaded and fried 'til it's black.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

fyi, but here is what Breitbart said about Ted Kennedy after he died.

Yeah, I know. That's why I typed several nasty things and then deleted them because I like to think I'm better than that.

After sliced okra has been cooked a while in something like gumbo or soup, the slime people complain of just becomes thickening. I am not objective on this subject, though, because I like okra in all its forms.

I know Andrew Breitbart mainly through a horrible racist Twitter battle with Elon James White. He was... not nice.

t /trying hard not to speak ill of the dead

le nub, are you pointing to Brietbart's post mortem evisceration of Ted Kennedy as a reason that we should be saddened by his death? That wasn't clear. I lived in MA for 20 years during which Ted Kennedy represented us in the Senate and was there when he died. God knows he was flawed as hell, bur he did OK by the citizens. He definitely got a pass on a lot of shit because he was a vaunted Kennedy and he was a privileged white rich dude (in the Senate, though, who isn't?) but he did work to help more than just his wealthy supporters.

If you disagree, that's cool, I was mostly just confused about the POV or your comment to Ginger with that "but" in there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think LeN was pointing out that Breitbart himself had no compunctions against speaking ill of the dead, so Ginger should not feel overly compelled to hold back.

Actually, you know what? I wouldn't (sincerely) wish death upon anyone, and at that age it's particularly shitty. But I'm not sorry he's gone from this world and I think we're all (excepting his family) better for it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I won't mourn Andrew Breitbart. That's all I'll say at the moment.

Saying anything else would fall into the realm of things you don't say about the dead.

I'm reminded of a good friend who grew up in the North of England, and who promised to dance on Maggie Thatcher's grave.

Andrew Breitbart didn't do as much damage as her, but not for lack of trying.

And that's about the best thing I can say about him: not as bad as Maggie Thatcher.
