I blast a Freeper out of the water on my LiveJournal
I spar regularly on the Fidonet with this die-hard Bush lover who thinks he's a "newspaper editor" in Georgia.

I got flamed by this jerk so I posted his own crap at my LJ.

What do you see here?
A stoner and a girl embarrassed to be near him?
Sure looks that way.



But this stoner now claims to be a "newspaper editor."

Bad schools, bad times

BY STAN HARDEGREE

Because I am married to a teacher, I always say this at some risk, but when I was a kid, I hated school.

I regarded it as a gross imposition to have to put away the gloves and bats and go back to the daily grind of attending classes. Don’t get me wrong, I did pretty well in school, but I still hated it. I think there is a reason for that.

(snip)

But part of the reason I hated school may have been my fault. I got caught smoking in the bathroom about every other day, and, consequently, stayed in trouble with my parents most of the time. My parents were mean as a snake back then. The entire year I was in the 9th grade I was grounded. The whole year.

I always regarded that no smoking rule as another imposition on my freedom and ignored it with impunity. I ignored it so completely that the principal at PGHS would see me in the office on routine, non disciplinary business and say, "smoking again, eh Hardegree?" I had a rep.

I counted it up one time and came up with a number, from 8th-12th grade, I was suspended from school for a total of 30 days. A month.

Maybe it was my fault that I hated school but the listless and mean adults who were in charge of me and my education could have done a much better job..

Don't you think it ever dawned on Hardlygreased, (I call him that in my posts to him, since a hardly greased machine whines a lot before breaking down,) that FOLLOWING THE RULES like most of the rest did might have actually helped him stay out of trouble?

But this "newspaper editor" (his "newspaper" has less content than a High School newspaper) has this as his "magnum opus."
And every year he posts it on the Fidonet.


You might be a Clinton rumpswab....
An echo from Thanksgiving 1999

BY STAN HARDEGREE

You might be a Clinton Rumpswab if....

You regard Bill Clinton's masturbating in the Oval Office sink to be a private matter between him and his wife but regard the details of Newt Gingrich's divorce to be legitimate public grist.

1. It's not all that unusual for old hippies to turn reactionary.

After all, not only were we against the war, we were also opposed to "the government," all the time forgetting that we too were the government.

The Repiglicans, actually R. Mellon Scaife and his gang, after Nixon seized anti-government sentiment and hooked more than one old hippie.

I apologize for those of my generation who've gone over to the dark side. But I also think they're a**holes.

2. This guy though...
He just sounds like Bush, a "the rules don't apply to me" asshole who went over to the Dark Side from day one.

3. Well, remember the old head creedo- "If it feels good, do it!"
And to many it meant being a self-centered jerk.
