CindyMomOf4,

Small world, I spent my first two years of philosophy study at SIUE. I rarely meet folks who know it. I’ll always have a soft spot for Edwardsville.

You know what Jon? I hated that damn logic (PHILOSOPHY!) class in college, and at age 39, I just finished the sonofabitch last semester! When I saw the title of that pic, I just about pissed my pants laughing. I cannot tell you how many times I heard my professor’s bizarre voice (think of Jim Varney’s “Ernest” character’s voice) saying “The Straw Man Argument…, The Straw Man Argument…” over and over in my head while I would be falling asleep after studying … and being jolted awake, and in a cold sweat… This page is being forwarded to the Philosophy dept. at SIUE - I know they will crack up!

The straw photo is wonderful, and is just as it is titled.

Heather was wonderful. Her interviewers had room temperature IQs.

I just used the email link and told the Today Show how completely ignorant I thought Kathie Lee was. Thanks Leesavee! Had any of the interviewers read her blog they would’ve had intelligent questions to ask, but apparently KL is too afraid of the evil internets to venture there.

Kathie Lee Gifford looks like an recently discovered ancient mummy in HD anyway.

Thanks for the link Leesavee. That spot was charming. Heather, I mean…KL is just a douche. (doesn’t really rhyme with dooce.)

I thought Kathi Lee acted unprepared and her retarded comments and input did a fine job on making her look real bad. You could see the OMG look on Heather’s face when Kathi Lee said stupid things. Heather acted with class despite Kathi Lee. Would have loved to hear what Heather was thinking through all of that.

Replace Kathi Lee with Straw Arguing Men!!!!!!!!

The Today Show segment can be seen at:

I thought Kathie Lee was condescending and unfair, and I e-mailed the Today Show to tell them so — and to tell them that Kathie Lee should apologize to Heather. If you agree and would like to do so, too, the e-mail address is: today@msnbc.com.

Nobody puts Dooce in a corner!
