Anniversary Wishes

Thanks to everyone who sent congratulations on my 20th wedding anniversary. The traditional gift is china, but Tim Blair sent a flame:

Look up "Oh my God I've married an obsessive shrieking hypocrite!" and you'll see a picture of Lambert's wife.

Today is my wedding anniversary. I've been married to the same woman for 31 years, without ever straying. Newt Gingrich has been married 3 times, divorced one wife while she was recovering from surgery, and has had extra-marital affairs. Guess who is considered the defender of traditional sexual…
I've switched from hand-crafted html to using Blosxom for my blog. This lets me add some nice features like grouping postings by topic, an RSS feed, comments, search and so on. After a couple of hundred postings about John Lott, I also feel like posting on something else for a change,…
There are lies, damn lies and statistics. Last week, the newspapers were filled with stories about rising divorce rates. It was widely reported that couples that married in the 1970's had a less than even chance of celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. But those statistics were misleading.…

Obsessive shrieking hypocrite?

Freud describes a phenomenon known as projection. It's a defence mechanism in which people 'project' their own undesirable faults and weaknesses onto another person, in an attempt to rid themselves.

I think that we've just seen a perfect example.

Congratulation on your anniversary by the way. And a big FU to blair for involving your family.

Blair's comment was in extraordinarily poor taste. I think that you are very much to be praised for celebrating the occasion.

Wow.

Tim 'look another person said it was a plastic turkey' Blair called you obsessive?

Tim 'ohmygod ohmygod look what Margo Kingston is saying about iraq now i need to write about this on my blog!!' Blair called you shrieking?

Tim 'thinks Tim Lambert is obssessive and shrieking and obsessively and shriekingly writes updates about Tim Lambert on his blog' Blair called you a hypocrite?

While Steve McIntyre and I may not agree on some issues, I am pleased to see that we present a unified Canadian front on this topic. I second his comments.

Hey, it could have been worse.

Imagine if I'd down something really bad -- like, oh, I don't know, ripped off your whole site because I disagree with your comments policy?

Are we now allowed to call Blair's significant other (male/female/other) a fat biatch? Are we? Or would that be beneath us?

Sounds like you are 'wailing with indignation' TimB. Do you want to keep 'whining' about the website duplication thing, or have you moved on?

Dragging Blair's SO into it would be pretty scummy, so please don't do it. But feel free to mock him for the typo he made in his comment.

A typo on a site that has not only a Preview button but a spell-checker as well.

LOL!

Blair's comments policy: flatter me, laugh at my jokes and don't upset the rednecks. Or else.

So Krugman is shrill, and Lambert is shrieking?
They'd have to be eldritch to drown out your squeaking.
