To Crispin Garcia: O.K. Truce. Yes the “dispersions” should have been “aspersions”. I confused physics with a plain English word. “Hasta la…” is sometimes spelled “astel la”, which is what I did, spelling “phonetically”. I am not a bigot, although people are free to disagree with me. I represent @ 2,000 “Victims of KATRINA”, most of them black and very poor, who didn’t have much to begin with, but who lost all they had in KATRINA. I haven’t earned a penny since 8/29/05, and NONE of my clients has obtained any “justice” as a result of my representation, but I have tried very, very hard. It took me a long time to fully understand what has been “going on” in the “Victims of KATRINA” litiogation pending in Federal Court in New Orleans, and when I realized what was happening, I took decisive action. As a result, I have now been disbarred, disgraced, embarrassed and humiliated, and I can no longer “fight the fight” for my clients, except through posts like this which, hopefully, smart people may read and comprehend. NMC knows (and Lotus knew) that I have some terrific stories to tell. Thanks for listening.

O’Dwyer @ 09:32 am:

LOL! You’re absolutely right! I apologize for calling you a bigot and for saying that your remarks are bigoted and for refusing to take your bet and for not pocketing your money when you were completely off-base about the racial/ethnic identity of the soldier accused of shooting and killing his comrades.

I like you! You’re like this blog’s Archie Bunker! With your malapropisms (“People with names like ‘Garcia’ shouldn’t be casting dispersions at other people.”), and your misspellings (“Astala bananna, Garcia!”), I’m beginning to think you’re taking the piss . . . and the joke is on us.

By all means proceed!

You should get some furniture for that room, NMC.

“Random, I think you have a point there.”

Why the quotation marks? Because I said that aloud to the empty room in which I am seated before I typed it.

First, I don’t know how to post a hyperlink so I’m sorry. But reading the comments today on this and the Irby thread some people should check out the blog of unnecessary quotation marks.

To NMC: Gee. Here we go, “namecalling” again, and a clear “double standard”. I don’t owe “Crispin Garcia” anything. He was too “chicken$@&# to bet me. P.S. Things are “grand” here in The Duchy of Kilnamanaugh. AROD.

AROD,you have reading comprehension problems about what I’ve said to you in warnings and what is found in the commenting guidelines.

You also seem to have an extraordinarily bad problem with leaping to bizarre and even delusional conclusions about how someone’s racial or ethnic background has something to do with their behavior– e.g. your completely imagined speculations about the racial background of the soldier who killed five people in Iraq yesterday and now your suggestion that there is something wrong with people with Hispanic names. Huh? (btw, it’s a posting pseudonym, to boot).

Should I ask whether the fact that you’re ignoring payment of Cripin Garcia’s wager means that your people are from Wales?

To Crispin Garcia: There you go again, “namecalling”. It seems that there is some sort of “double-standard” within this Web-Site. P.S. People with names like “Garcia” shouldn’t be casting dispersions at other people. Kinda like: “People who live in glass houses…”. Astala bananna, Garcia!
