The only thang sillier and cuckooer and even more ludicrous and bizarre is David Frum's blog post

over the top yappity yap on it.

Mind you, I have almost forgotten who is David Frum. Mind you, I was not looking for his looney ass. I vaguely remember him as some kind of Canada transplant who wrote speeches for Bush. Maybe he was the axis of evil dude. I cant recall. The other speech writers name I have no recollection.

But I am googling Clinton remark to actually see if anything else was said, and somethang called National Review Online has somethang about anodyne and racial insult. I remember the word anodyne, it was in some recitation poem we spoke in some speech and poem elocution contest when I was like 10 years old. Around that time was also when I collected multiple scrap books of Bobby and JFK. As far as I knew anodyne is somethang good. The phrase was healthful anodyne.

Then, becoz I am lazy and bored, I am too fed up to even try and google anodyne. forget about dictionary, I have no idea where a dictionary is. Last one I had is in a store room in Shreveport. The one in Mumbai may be in a bookshelf. But I already told ya I was too bored to look.

So I look it up in the Word thesaurus. This implies anodyne is insipid, dull etc. Also neutral, inoffensive. This does not coincide with my memories of healthful anodyne. Also if so, it definitely does not coincide with an inflammatory remark about a sad and tragic assassination. So then I definitely have to google it.

So Wiki has the following:

An anodyne (Greek αν, loss, and οδυνη, pain: a cause which relieves pain) is a medicine that relieves or soothes pain by lessening the sensitivity of the brain or nervous system. Also called an analgesic (or colloquially a "painkiller").
The term has been applied incorrectly to various medications, such as narcotics, hypnotics, and opiates. True anodynes were applied externally to the part affected. Among those classed "simple" were onion, lily, root of mallows, leaves of violet, and elderberry.
Certain compound medicines were also called by this name, such as anodyne balsam, made of castile soap, camphor, saffron, and spirit of wine, and digested in a sand heat. It was recommended not only for easing extreme pain, but for assisting in discharging the peccant matter that occurred with the pain.
By extension, soothing or placating words are called anodyne.

Yeah, so this is more in line with my memory of healthful anodyne. And it is even further from a correct assessment of the inflammatory remark. How the heck can the RFK assassination remark be even vaguely considered an anodyne. Does it soothe, does it relieve pain, does it placate.

Sheesh, so when I turn to this so called National Review link, I am finding it is by this David Frum coot. Now that he has used the word so inappropriately, I see English must be his second or third language. Who knew.

That, or the man is cuckoo.

I also have a further rant.

Who the heck thinks the RFK assassination remark is a racial insult. Did RFK suddenly become African American. Jesse Jackson, OK, MLK Jr., OK. Why is offing RFK a racial insult. And BTW why is even invoking Jesse or MLK an insult. I would be highly complimented.

so David Frum riffs that it is an insipid remark or a healthful remark (depending on which thesaurus you use) that is used to interpret a racial insult and it is an example of a ultra thin skinned politics that cannot handle criticism.

I did not know invoking a painful assassination came under the category of criticism.

Man, that David Frum is not just a cuckoo but an idiot.

What a damn moron.
