Ironies

Our topsy-turvy, ass-backward world is jam-packed with ironies of every possible stripe. Some ironic situations are sad, some comical, and some just plain infuriating.

In the comical category, James Carville saying that Glenn Beck is “Just out-and-out nuts. And I also think that he’s a blatant hypocrite” has to be awarded the funny irony cake of the week.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Jim Carville, the snake-like, ragin’ cajun conservative Mary Matalin must have married when she had a snootful or when suffering temporary insanity, is the epitome’ of nuts.

If Carville isn’t nuts for sucking up to the Clintons for 8 years and for repeatedly defending their tenure and record on national television, then no one is crazy, least of all, Glenn Beck.

The trash-talking fruitcake Carville is best remembered for covering his head with a garbage can in dismay over the 2002 election results



The fast-talking Beck will long be remembered for garnering 6 million + regular listeners on his radio show and having two, not just one, books on the best seller list at the same time.

Finishing first in the infuriating, situational irony sweepstakes is an incident on the Staten Island Ferry.

War veteran Dan Bergen bravely served in both Iraq and Afghanistan in a United States Navy special warfare unit then came home to a job as deckhand on one of the ferries that plies the waters between the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Staten Island

The newlywed Bergen, age 32, suffers from an odd, patriotic quirk: He reveres the American flag for which he fought and he firmly believes in assiduously respecting the flag wherever it flies.

In this age when flag-burning is an accepted social activity, Bergen contends proper flag etiquette is more than a traditional technicality and that the flag is “a living being.”

He therefore refused to lower Old Glory . . .
