The rainbow returns- and I thought nothing was going on.

Last year sometime I posted about how diverse Columbia is as a town. On the day that prompted my post I was almost run over by a couple of redneck dicks in a monster truck. Later that day I got a flat tire on my ride and was offered help by none other than the mayor of our city. Columbia is a university city and that brings a lot of diversity. I'm glad to say it's a pretty progressive place to live.
Unfortunately, we have some not-so-progressive thinkers coming out to parade this weekend. The National Socialist Movement will be putting on a parade downtown this Saturday. The NSM is the largest neo-Nazi movement in the US today. I don't know how they came up with their name, but I've elected to give them the nickname, "butthole". I mean think about it, why go to the trouble of saying, "Hey dude, I'm in the National Socialist Party." Or you might confuse someone by saying, "I'm in the NSM." No, no, no. Just use the k.i.s.s. (keep it simple stupid) method and say, "I'm a butthole." Everyone will know what you mean. Nonetheless, here they come on Saturday. Not much to be done about it but ignore them I guess. Apparently a couple of years ago they were having a parade or rally in Toledo, OH and it started a four hour riot. I can only hope it doesn't come to that.
Well, whatever happens maybe it'd be swallowed a little easier with this .

Funny, Andy Dick can be hard to swallow sometimes. I either hate him or love him - and it varies depending on my mood I guess.

As for your paraders, good luck. I am sure they will be beefing up the local police on that beat.

We have our own "buttholes" in our neighborhood. Two doors down, in our largely black neighborhood, our white trash redneck neighbors decided to fly confederate flags on the front of their house.

While I support free speech,the homeowner told me flat-out that they put the flags out so that "the blacks" wouldn't break into their house.

Yes, keep it simple; they are buttholes.
