I Heartily Concur: The Zero Boss

The Zero Boss started out in my Reader list under "parenting" but has moved to the "personalities" section and is fast becoming the type of blog to which I aspire (with, perhaps, a bit less snarky vitriol. Not that I'm anti-snarky vitriol, but a little goes a long way).

One of TZB's recent targets has been Virginia Representative Virgil Goode, who has been the most vocal critic of Minnesota Representative Keith Ellison's decision to use a Koran as part of his ceremonial swearing-in to Congress. It makes sense for him to use a Koran, seeing as how he's a Muslim (the first ever in Congress, by the way). Representative Goode, however, sees this symbolic act as, basically, another step along some slippery slope which could lead to the majority of Congress being Muslims, which will lead to...I'm not sure what, exactly.

Anyway, today's post includes the following:

How did Ellison respond to the charge that swearing in on the Quran is somehow equivalent to sucking the terrorists’ willies? With class and cleverness, folks. The Quran on which Ellison will be sworn in is none other than the copy formerly owned by one Mr. Thomas Jefferson. It’s made even more delicious once you learn know that Rep. Goode’s district houses Jefferson’s birthplace.

Rep. Goode, we here on the Internet commonly refer to this as "being p0wned."

I doubt Goode has any idea what being p0wned means, but I'll bet he thinks it has something to do with illegal immigration.

Added 1:20 PM: BTW, that is a zero as the second character in "p0wned," even though this font apparently does almost nothing to distinguish it from a lower-case oh. I'm no n00b, I'm just at the mercy of a font which is teh suck. Although technically isn't it supposed to be "pwned"?
