Your Wife Died Alone....
Your headline implies that the apology is not a valid response, and writes it off ("sorry about that") as meaningless and trite. It's not an official response and isn't nearly enough, but maybe the nurses themselves hate what happened and don't want to be associated with such actions - isn't that a good thing?

"Let his days be few... Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.".
I used "Taliban" because the verse is calling for death, not to refer to anyone who disagrees with me.. Yes, the one line from the stickers doesn't mention death. But the very next line does. Besides, the stickers have the line reference, not the line itself - anyone looking it up as the stickers invite would see the call for harm. Why is that defensible?
I guess I'll go shut the fuck up now, since the anonymous unregistered poster told me to.

@10, so you're cool with bumper stickers featuring one line from a Bible selection calling for the death of leaders to be promoted in reference to our first black president, who has a way higher level of threats against him as it is? You're okay with the "Hitler" stuff? You like where this is going? So, do you think it's just an innocent coincidence that this quote is on bumperstickers, and that to quote the very next line in the selection is "bearing false witness"? If so, you are either deluded or disingenuous.

Okay, @7, you too. The point is that this isn't some cute isolated quote about voting people out of office...it's part of a longer call for the deaths of tyrants. Do you really not get that or are just being intentionally dense? I'm sure we're going to hear all kinds of people like Glenn Beck pretending to be outraged at us completing the quote. This is dangerous and immoral and un-American. I didn't know we had so many American Taliban posting in Slog.

Shall I Compare Thee to a Somers' Day?.
I agree with #2...Salon of Shame sits easier with me. And #3 - now I wonder if she made up that "house boy" line too. And every other laugh line. What's the point of even doing this if you invent the funny parts yourself?

I saw this and thought it was hilarious and Googled the source...found out she messes with the poems - for instance, it's "I wish they wouldn't waste it on God.", not "...on dogs." Kinda makes it less funny to me now than it was when I thought it was all the real thing...
