Show trials are fun! Confusing and full of inside jokes, but fun!

OK, I have to admit that even as a regular reader of Le Blogue Bérubé, I'm still a bit lost by the whole We Are All Giant Nuclear Fireball Now! Party and Chris Clarke Show Trial escapades. I think you have to have read every damn comment on every post for the last three months or so to really get everything. And who has time for that when there's a new 1000+ page Pynchon novel to read! (Not that I'll ever get to that since, to paraphrase Bardiac, I'm 600 years behind on my reading.)

BUT...I wanna play, too! So, to add to the list of charges against Chris I give you this:

He says he's not a feminist even though he is! He says instead that he's a "fellow traveler" and that sounds mighty suspicious. Who needs to travel when all you need is right here in the good ol' U. S. of A? And what does travelin' have to do with feminism? Hm? Clearly he's confusing a populace about what it means to be a feminist when they're already confused enough as it is! Heck, even I'm confused and I'm a feminist. At least, I think I am. See! Dammit! Confused! Makes head hurt!

Guilty, I say! Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!

That's the spirit! This feminist-not feminist shilly-shallying is just pure doubledealing on Clarke's part. It's about time someone called him out on it!

We are, by the way, trying to get all the inside jokes together for a year-end reunion. Thanks for helping!

I suspect it's willy-nilly as well! (Now *there's* an inside joke for the Anglo-Saxonists and philologists out there!)

Dr. V -

This is great! Can you please be so kind as to cross post it on the Show Trial thread? Thanks.
