Hmmm.

I kinda feel like the guy who tosses a skunk into the living room at a party to see what would happen. Or a Starship Trooper who threw in one of those grenades that starts loudly counting down "I am a 30 second grenade! 29, 28, 27, 26..."

I sent a note over to the Emperor of the Rottweiler Empire asking for his assistance in spanking the Dennis the Menace Kucinich's campaign for the ugly little video they host.

Being on his blog council, and finding my request worthy, he did join the spankfest in his own, inimitable way. You should read the comments. (You should ALWAYS read the comments!) The Emperor's inimitable way is, well, stronger than my own, which is why I'm a Large Mammal and he's a Mortal Human in the ecosystem, and I'm cool with that. I don't have Misha's talent for invective so I don't try to be something I'm not. I'm a gentle little bay in the blogosphere. Well, maybe not if you are a gun-grabber...

Anyway, as is their wont, the commenters run with the ball and the metaphor moves downfield fast.

Well, it seems that the author of the video, a Mr. Eric Blumrich, has a thin skin for irony and invective if it comes his way. Though from a look at his work, he employs a shotgun himself, and not a scalpel. His response is typical of a cornered rat who doesn't understand why suddenly people show up who don't like him. After all, he's just a good little liberal expressing his opinions, right? And we should all love him for that.

Well, there's a reason it's the Rottweiler Empire. And the Rotts got loose.

Blumrich has gone beyond deciding that those of us who find his work dreadful have small penises to threatening legal action, to claiming to have called law enforcement and made a complaint.

I'm sure everyone is getting a hit spike.
