My mother: On Life, Hugo Chavez, Stephen Colbert, and Everything

[Writer]

This is cross-posted from GD. I just received this rant from my mother, and I must say, I rolled on the floor for a while. Then I got up, realized I was related to her, then decided to cast off her insanity onto all of you, because I'm not sure if I can handle it. :P

Extra note for all you loungers: This is the same woman who packaged a birthday cake and sent it via regular mail to my sister for my sister's 40th birthday a couple of months ago. She's a real piece of work.


"I do not know if the Latin American community hates Hugo Chavez or not. I do know such miserable corrupt dictators such as Sadam and such as the head of Iran are probably hated by a huge amount of their people. That makes no difference. If anyone disagrees with them such as the woman writer in Russia and the recent death of a journalist in Brittan, the so called leader (Putan) eliminates them. Sadam loved the acid chambers. He dripped acid through holes in the ceiling indiscriminately on top of the detractor and slowly burned him/her to death. Now that would make most dissenters closed mouth. I just know I'm not going to buy Citco gas or whatever it's under. I do hope his USA sales are much lower. His comments about our president before the UN were uncalled for, and just prove what a pompous little dictator he is, and that he believes George Bush is so hated that anyone can say anything about him. We, as citizens, no matter what our opinion on any political subject or leader have little real clout. This is my small revolution.

I believe you were referring to the Colbert Report which follows Jon Stewart when we talked the last time. If so, I videoed it, but couldn't get through the entire program (sickness went into my stomach). I, as a Christian, should be offender by his manger rendition, but since I believe Christianity can and has withstood a lot worse, and thus is the brunt of all the comedians jokes because they can get away with it, vs. the jokes about Islam, that they feel free to place the Sheppard rod straight forward as if it is a phallic symbol, and make various jokes about the black king, etc. Distasteful at best, but I will watch the rest of this man with the deformed ear and dyed black hair's show and let you know if I see anything worth watching. Love Mother"

1. Wow... that's um....

wow!

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. I think the last line of that e-mail is priceless...

"but I will watch the rest of this man with the deformed ear and dyed black hair's show and let you know if I see anything worth watching. Love Mother"

I don't know why I find it so funny, but I do. Oh and I remember that birthday cake post a while back...your mom sounds like an interesting character

3. She truthfully says what she says in order to get a rise out of me,

but she is so ridiculous about it that I just laugh.

And, yes, that last line does "take the cake," so to speak. :P

[Reverend_Smitty]

6. yeah you really can't get mad about that...

it's too ridiculous to do anything other than just laugh at it. It's actually kind of cute in a crazy endearing kind of way. Sometimes moms say the darnedest things...

[Writer]

7. She's 66, holds a steady job, exercises at the gym...

does her own home improvements, drives a large Cadillac SUV, etc. She's pretty much "all together...," she just fits a particular psychological profile.

4. Suddenly, my batshit mother seems way less batshit.

I think our mothers may be related.

"this man with the deformed ear" heh

[Writer]

10. Rather callous, ain't it?

It matters not to dear old Mom. :P

[Phillycat]

9. Your mother is hysterical.

:rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

11. This is great material for a writer

you must save these gems; rants like these are hard to fake.

truly fascinating.

[Writer]

12. You know, you're absolutely correct.

I wonder if the University of CO's PhD program would find my mother an interesting topic of discussion? Hrmmmmmmmmmm...
