Sorry I’ve been behind on e-mails and links and everything else, but I’m trying to focus on finding out what I need to do to get my novel published. I’ll mention more of that tomorrow, because I may need some help critiquing it.
Anyway, I had a great honor today. Best of the Web is something I never miss each weekday, and now I have been quoted by James Taranto himself. But what in God’s name is a bon mot? It sounds French.
I inadvertently got the Centrist Coalition mentioned linked on Best of the Web as well. True to what I said, they somewhat agree with my statement.
Blackfive has yet another great anecdote, this one involving kayaking. I wish I had anecdotes.
He’s also been interviewed by Earl.
Frank. It means “good word” In other words (en autres mots) your words to describe Moderates were good.
I think a bon mot is one of those chocolate covered candies you get in a Whitman’s Sampler. I hope it’s not the kind filled with purple jelly. I really hate those.
Congrats, I saw that… Actually that is why I made it over here… I realized I have not been here in a while. I knew I had been forgetting something.
I wonder if you can get that column autographed?
P
Michael Demmons is lying to you. A bon mot is a Korean term for a wedgie. Jim Taranto would not be so gauche as to put French in his fine column.

bon mot-friend of the Jooooooooooooooooo.
Thanks for the link Frank.
The paragraph that Taranto used couldn’t have been better.
Congratulations, Frank.
James Taranto…I really like that Kill Bill movie…
Frank,
this is well-deserved praise, you should get more of it. I love your writing. As a science fiction reader, I must now go off to the web page you have indicated so I can read your book.
Baen is a great place for you to go – they publish, among others, Lois McMaster Bujold, one of my favorite writers ever.
Thanks for the link, Ethel. 🙂
In truth, I think that non-Americans should be deprived of American services. If we are so horrible and evil, and if our money is “blood money”, then they would be better off with out it. That means no more allowance from “Daddy”.
If you’ll notice the other nations regard the U.S. as they would thier father. We do have the longest lived constitution in the world you know. They say “I hate you Daddy and so does every other country”! The U.N. won’t be a bother any more; HOORAY!!!!! Well, as a citizen of the FATHER OF THE NATIONS, I say bad kids! No more cookies for you!
If we leave the rest of the world to it’s own responsibility, they will perish. We and the Israeli’s are the only responsible nations on the earth. Europe is a perfect example of our superiority. They want to be like Daddy, so they start the E.U. I’ve got news for you! Daddy’s bigger and badder than you! Yes, children will test thier parents and no, America doesn’t believe that smackin’ ass is “harmful to the child”. In fact, we encourage it. For a while, we let the Demoncrats dictate our war policies, but THE AMERICANS ARE BACK IN OFFICE SHIT PIG!
I tell the French, get a bath! To the Germans, clean your room(to many terrorist in there). To the Arabs, do your homework dumb shit! To the Africans, play nice, no more cutting tits off the Christians or you’re next. And to the rest of you, EAT THE SHIT CURDS FROM MY AMERICAN ASS! To Israel, we’re not your Father, God is. If you’re kickin’ ass, give ’em one for me.
I shit on you liberal hippy wanna be Americans.
Interesting reading. I enjoyed this entry.
