Yet another way to have blog posts

My complaint about Mr. Robert Harford III

The theme of this letter is not "Like most people that have a vile agenda to advocate, Mr. Robert Harford III wants to suppress people's instinct and intellect." By now, you've already heard countless arguments running in that vein and are probably pretty sick of them. The theme of this letter is "Most of his initiatives are slanted in the same ideological fashion, with large amounts of emotional exaggeration and general ignorance." Let me begin by citing a range of examples from the public sphere. For starters, if you look soberly and carefully at the evidence all around you, you will decidedly find that we can divide his put-downs into three categories: uncivilized, logorrheic, and choleric.

His scare tactics are a crazy-quilt patchwork of the most perfidious sorts of exclusionism you'll ever see, but I guess nobody ever explained that to his encomiasts. Mr. Harford not only lies, but he brags about his lying to his apologists. The facts as I see them simply do not support the false, but widely accepted, notion that nutty nebbishes are easily housebroken. As I remove the veil of ignorance I have lived behind, I find that Mr. Harford keeps saying that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them. Isn't that claim getting a little shopworn? I mean, he wants all of us to believe that he should make us dependent on surly thought police for political representation, economic support, social position, and psychological approval because "it's the right thing to do". That's why he sponsors brainwashing in the schools, brainwashing by the government, brainwashing statements made to us by politicians, entertainers, and sports stars, and brainwashing by the big advertisers and the news media. He commonly appoints ineffective people to important positions. He then ensures that these people stay in those positions, because that makes it easy for him to censor by caricature and preempt discussion by stereotype. I want nothing more -- or less -- than to overcome the obstacles that people like Mr. Harford establish. To that task I have consecrated my life, and I invite you to do likewise.

A more fundamental problem is that if you've read this far, then you probably either agree with me or are on the way to agreeing with me. Although I agree with those who assert that pestilential, twisted gutter-dwellers are deeply impressed by Mr. Harford's guff, nevertheless, I cannot agree with the subject matter and attitude that is woven into every one of Mr. Harford's insipid sentiments. To wrap up, I'll just hit the key elements of this letter one last time. First, Mr. Robert Harford III's helots like having a stamp of assurance from Mr. Harford that what they're doing is fashionable, or at least acceptable. Second, Mr. Harford frequently takes an accepted moral principle, adopts it as his own, and then accuses mainstream society of violating that principle. And finally, I cannot conceive of any circumstance under which Mr. Harford's opuscula could be considered appropriate.


See, I really have nothing against Rob, but I just picked someone who'd probably read this post. And also since he was the one who posted a while ago about different ways to blog (HERE), I thought I'd add one more! Auto generating blogs (and this is my second, scroll back a while to see a different one that I'm pretty sure recites the lyrics to the Knight Rider Theme)

I also really liked this site and you could substitute anyone you wanted for Rob. Put in Bush and you're a tree-hugging liberal. Substituite Hillary Clinton and your a right-wing radical. Mickey Mouse? Then you're just messed up.

Well you're right on one thing...

pestilential, twisted gutter-dwellers are deeply impressed by my guff :-)

Loghorreic put-down sounds like something a proctologist would do to a patient.

Great site.

It certainly generated plenty of laughs on my end. I sent various complaint-letters to some choice friends and family, and they loved them…only when I went to complain about Rob, it mistakenly filed him as a female and produced the following:

“What I have to say will probably provoke a response from Miss Robert T Harford III. She may label me "brusque" or even "unctuous". I realize and accept that as a consequence of what I am about to say. However, I decidedly hope that Robert will read everything I have to say before labeling me. I want to share this with you because I find that some of Robert's choices of words in her pronouncements would not have been mine. For example, I would have substituted "insolent" for "anthropomorphical" and "splenetic" for "thymolsulphonephthalein." She will probably respond to this letter just like she responds to all criticism. She will put me down as "uncompromising" or "baleful". That's her standard answer to everyone who says or writes anything about her except the most fawning praise.

Now that I've been exposed to Robert's communications, I must admit that I don't completely understand them. Perhaps I need to get out more. Or perhaps Robert is capable of only two things, namely whining and underhanded tricks. The implications of contemptuous particularism may seem theoretical, but they have concrete meaning for thousands of people. The cliches of Robert's hastily mounted campaigns are well-known to us all. And let me tell you, if Robert continues to acquire power and use it to indoctrinate grotty hucksters, I will be obliged to do something about her. And you know me: I never neglect my obligations. She needs to stop living in denial. She needs to wake up and realize that I, hardheaded cynic that I am, would like to comment on her attempt to associate sexism with sectarianism. There is no association. Pardon me for not being able to empathize with scabrous gutter-dwellers, but relative to just a few years ago, what I call impetuous, neurotic deadheads are nearly ten times as likely to believe that the only way to expand one's mind is with drugs -- or maybe even chocolate. This is neither a coincidence nor simply a sign of the times. Rather, it reflects a sophisticated, psychological warfare program designed by Robert to legitimate irresponsibility, laziness, and infidelity. Since most people oppose her slovenly, bad-tempered deeds, Robert has had to use mass organization as a system of integration and control using every conceited means imaginable. To wrap up, I'll just hit the key elements of this letter one last time. First, the portents indicate that, within a short period of time, Miss Robert T Harford III will encourage individuals to disregard other people, to become fully self-absorbed. Second, only Robert can praise an institution that is as Pecksniffian and wrongheaded as she herself. And finally, Robert is becoming ever more audacious in her unappeasable hatred of us.”

These letters are fantastic! I recommend sending them to anyone you know with a sense of humor. Just be sure to double check the whole gender thng…or not (maybe it’s funnier that way). If only there were one of these sites to generate random one-line insults…THAT would be hysterical.
