Just thought ya'll would like to know that we're all Communists now. And that's a "fair and balanced" assessment.

Fire up the Internationale.

Mr. Hornback has crossed a line. He is on notice.

P.S. I'm puzzled re. who predicted a tax increase that Hornback has now proven wrong? I must have missed that, but maybe someone did?

It's also curious that he appears to be closely monitoring a website that he said he "voluntarily withdrew" from many months ago.

Communist?

That's pretty lame as far as name-calling goes.

For some reason I am reminded of that Gary Larson cartoon of the Dyslexic Communist Workers who all carried a protest banner that reads "Workers Untie!"

Don't forget Claude

Don't forget Claude Robichaux, the old guy in "Confederacy of Dunces" who was always ferreting out "Communiss" in our midst.

My favorite book of all time, ever.

Confederacy of Dunces

yes! One of my favorite books too. Special insights into the types of insanity we all find surrounding employment, lazy sons, insane mothers, dreamers of all kinds...it's a beauty...

Fire up the Internationale.

But are we Trotskyites or Leninists?

"Don't forget Claude Robichaux..." or Gen. Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove. Do you suppose someone is sapping Hornback's "precious bodily fluids?"

He is lame with the name calling!

Alway calling names like tabloid girl, tabloid girl editor and so forth. He thinks he is so much better than women,he thinks he has the right to look down on women: he is so jealous of the Halls Shopper because he knows it is the greatest thing going. Now calling us Communists. lol

If anybody wants a good chuckle, read some of his lame answers in the Metro Pulse interview. If this is the best they have, I don't want to be a big elephant.

Does he always write in the third person?

Is this ironic?

The whole post is so over-the-top. He can't really be serious. Please tell me that Brian Hornback is being ironic and is not an unironic douchebag.

For someone who "has committed his life to public education," he sure is an illiterate dumbass.

I wear his commie tag as a badge of honor.

And his wife is suppose to be an educator. Pity she cannot help him. lol

I think his wife is a school secretary, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, the third person thing is weird and really creeps me out.

It creeps River Dog out too!

River Dog is creeped out by Hornned Back lizards and toads. River Dog ate one and belched Horrned Back scales and claws for a week.

Karl Marx, for all his faults, was at least smart enough to understand that in order for his vision of communal harmony to ever be possible, there would first be required a long period of brainwashing and social conditioning, what Marx referred to as socialism or blogs in today's world.

Water is good; it benefits all things and does not compete with them.
It dwells in [lowly] places that all disdain.

Well, I see the reference to "communist" has disappeared from Hornback's blog post. I would like to believe he thought better of it, but I doubt that's the reason.
