I know, I know.

I promised to keep my mouth shut re: Thomas "John John" Rowley until after Halloween.
But the latest post from Rowley's greater Marshpelier Grindhouse "hidey hole" is just too funny to pass up.
For our many readers who are, no doubt, hanging on every blogo-smear Rowley utters, the post is entitled "Kirkpatrick Sale's Gaff."
A "gaff," by the way, is one of those big iron hooks you stick in a fish's mouth.
I think what "John John" meant was "gaffe," which is "a social blunder, or faux pas."
Oops.
We'll add spelling and grammar to the growing list of things "John John" Rowley might wish to work on.
In any case, the kicker in Rowley's otherwise yawningly predictable post comes at the end, when he/they claim that Vermont Commons, that propaganda rag, would not publish Kirkpatrick Sale's critical remarks about the failings and weaknesses of the national secession effort in our fall 2010 issue.
In fact, we did.
On page 31.
Here's Mr. Sale's fall 2010 DISPERSIONS column, on the web.
Double oops.
Here's an offer for you, Thomas "John John" Rowley.
Since you continue to demonstrate to the world your complete and utter cluelessness when it comes to the mission and content of our Vermont Commons news journal, we'd be happy to mail you a free subscription.
Of course, you'd have to tell us who you are, and where you live.
We can't address a news journal subscription to an anonymous person with a paper bag over his head hiding in a closet and living in a hidey hole.
Mouth shut.
Standing by.
