It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
While it may not be apparent from most of my postings, I am actually nearly as interested in politics and world affairs as Cranky. However, since his blog expresses most of my opinions in a different, yet entertaining way, I've decided to let him be the political voice of the Cranky household.
After a hiatus, hubby recently came back to writing. And one of his readers came back to posting comments. Someone who vehemently opposes his views and nastily claims Cranky won't engage in a rational debate or pay any attention to a Republican (ignoring the fact that one of Cranky's favorite bloggers is Andrew Sullivan. And by the way, he enjoys jousting with family members who have different political views). Someone who apparently knows him or at least is pretending to know him, but is too cowardly to "out" himself, even privately. Someone who thinks I must be a saint to put up with him and God help our kids.
To be fair, said reader apologized for the comments about me and our children. But I'd like to make something clear to him or her.
Yes, Cranky's crankiness can sometimes be frustrating, as I'm sure some of my quirks are to him. But if we're going to invoke God or Zeus or any kind of deity, let's get something straight. I'm lucky to have him. Our kids are lucky to have him. I don't care if he's a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, monarchist, carnivore or vegetarian - I would have married him anyway. He's the best husband and father in the world.

Argumentum ad hominem -- it's what they do when the fallacies fail and the jealousy shows through.
Fortunately, there is a way to track anonymous posters and those who breathe heavily with blocked caller ID's and fortunately too, there are friends of the family who prefer to use Cattleprodio in Rectum when arguing with such vermin.
