Pat Boone’s Head Explodes

[Stingo]

Pat Boone is as fine an American icon as are poodle skirts and beehives. Some whack jobs are mouring his death from a freak head explosion, evidently caused by a column in which Boone compared those protesting about the passage of Proposition 8 to the Mumbai terrorists. Thus ends today’s adventure in whackjobbery, with a bang.

1. Pat Boone died?

[Stingo]

2. It is my understanding that his head exploded

As is usually the case in such conspiracy theories, I also understand they are not producing a "death certificate." I think it may be held where the Obama birth certiciate is being held.

4. sorry

It's late, and apparently my sense of humor is already asleep.

3. Just his head. apparently.

So not even an important part of him.

5. Just so long as the explosion didn't mess up his Blue Suede Shoes

or any of the Love Letters in the Sand...

[Stingo]

6. That's scary!

My eyes!

7. What a great column from All Spin Zone! 100% hate and 0 g of substance.

Here's the first paragraph:

Third Rate singer, has been television star, the man who put the white bread in R & B. . . Pat Boone is many things. At 74 years old he still performs, and even headlined a couple John McCain events. No word on whether he wore his trademark white bucks. Lately Pat Boone has been trying to make his way as an opinion writer of the conservative school, when he is not giving concerts to former teenyboppers now in walkers rather than poodle skirts. Alas, he has been showing some signs of severe mental illness in his political columns, and it can now be reported that Pat Boone has suffered from advanced dementia for a while, culminating yesterday in his head exploding.

It continues with more nasty declarations and never getting around to discussion the problem with Boone's column.

Many liberals are morphing into Freepers, and I don't like Freepers.

9. You know, I thought hard on that approach

But since it was impossible to find substance in Pat Boone's column, I decided discussing nonexistence was too hard on my brain. Perhaps you would like to give it a try.

11. It might have been relevant to mention that Boone was discussing Prop 8.

[Stingo]

16. The essay begins with this in the space of the

first two lines: "a column in which Boone compared those protesting about the passage of Proposition 8 to the Mumbai terrorists"

If it is not saying Boone's topic is Prop 8, then what is it saying?

[DoctorMyEyes]

8. Wow, that's some crazy shit

I followed the link through to Boone's editorial... Wow. His head is so fucked up it had no choice but to explode.

By the time I finished reading this passage I was afraid my own head might be in danger of exploding:

Slavery was abolished, blacks and women obtained the rights to vote, and these true rights were not obtained by threats and violent demonstrations and civil disruption (though these things did occur, of course), but by due process, congressional deliberations and appropriate ratification. This was democracy in action, not mob rule. As noted journalist Thomas Sowell has said, there never was "a right to win." In America, at least the America we've known till now, rights are earned and won in a deliberative, legal way – at the polls.

[Stingo]

10. Any time someone quotes Sowell approvingly

Duck and cover, because their brain just might explode.

12. Bwaaahahaha!

"There are theories as to why Boone’s head exploded. some on the liberal side, such as myself, think it was just so full of crap that it spontaneously combusted. (There’s an idea for a new energy source somewhere in there.)"

:rofl:

13. Who was he talking about here?.... It seems to me this statement can

be said about christianity as well as muslims

"a theology they intend to enforce on all humankind – and anyone who might disagree or obstruct their goals should be removed,"

14. Darn! I really wanted him to answer why he considered it OK for him and Elvis to ripoff

some off Little Richard's music and commandeer it as their own.

[Stingo]

17. It wasn't just Little Richard

They ripped off tons of black music.

15. I saw that on World Nut Daily via Fark

And he has really lost it with this piece.
