ReplyDeleteBobby,
ReplyDeleteIrony, my friend. A rare example of American irony.

That's a pretty disgusting headline, there. Why? Not needed.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThe headline refers to a running gag that has been active for months between me and a Bill Safire, a regular commentator.
Since, you seem to be lacking in the sense of humor department, let me explain. A running gag is a device "that takes the form of an amusing joke or comical reference that is repeated throughout a work of literature" or in this case, a blog.
It is based on a famous joke first told by Jeffery Ross at a Friar's Roast for Pamela Anderson. Mr. Ross stated that he wouldn't fuck Pamela Anderson with Bea Arthur's dick, a reference to Ms. Anderson's tendency to be ridden with STDs. Ms. Arthur, who was in the audience, gave a now legendary comic take in reaction to Mr. Ross.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the reason for the offensive title.
Bob
