A firestorm of criticism has brought us, as Debbie Daniel might say, to a bolt of self-doubt, becoming an earthquake of clarity that whipped into a line in the sand. That line became a vicious circle that talked turkey!
Many commenters told us that the word, ‘c___,’ as found on Malkin’s blog and quoted by ourselves, is unacceptable and offensive, and may not be used.
For instance, a hypothetical phrase such as, “Michelle Malkin, a vile racist whose every lying utterance reeks to God, who tarts herself around like a der-headed twelve-year-old mall rat, has said “I’m nothing but a c___” in a public forum; and would indeed profitably be avoided by all decent people for the sulfurous stench she gases out every time she attempts to imitate human speech,” would be an acceptable and uncontroversial phrase (hypothetically) save for the use of the word, ‘c___,’ which is offensive.

Instead of being all like, “Wuh? But she left us a huge, gaping opening — as it were,” we promised to avoid anatomical references in the future, and to concentrate instead on our core endeavor of making fun of big, bouncy dicks — or calling people rude euphemisms for fat whangers, or penises. A hypothetical example would be, “Jonah Goldberg is a big, fat, throbbing, doinking ding-dong of a penis!”
This move away from anatomical humor seemed to make folks relieved and happier, and that’s what we’re here for — to educate and comfort through mirth. Or, as Louis Untermeyer said so lucidly:
Laughter shall drown the raucous shout;
And, though these shelt?ring walls are thin,
May they be strong to keep hate out
And hold love in.
For being a spokesmodel for ethnic concentration camps might be bad indeed, but some things just aren’t funny. We extend a wreath of friendship to Malkin and to all who sail upon her. And we promise never to do it again at the earliest possible opportunity.
