"Do you have a dog in this fight"

[stilltrucking]

I pity Jews who are defensive about being a Jews.
This guy is out of line, all he had to say was, "If you are asking if I am a Jew, the answer is yes, but I am not looking for a fight...this is just my job I am a reporter trying to be fair and objective"

Seems like a fair question Mel asked.

Interesting good old boy expression and the dumb putz did not get it.
He was mad at himself. So he had to have the last word. I wish I could live my life on video tape. Somehow there is a zen aha moment for me in this. Must be a trip to be a performance artist.


What hell even if old Mel is a neonazi, at least he is an American Nazi, or is he?

It is a tough job being a Jewish Reporter I suppose. Could I be a Jewish writer?

No matter where hu'manity lives simply being hu'man is never enough for other hu'mans. No, you must first deal with gender then race followed by creed then what you do for a job and what you do in your private life, what books you've read or what movies you watch...you can't ever be just you in the eyes of the beholder... they want to pry and pull out every damn thing they can find to expose you, to know you no matter what you say.

So you're a Jew or you're a Mexican or an Eskimo or a gay bullfighter in tights in Spain... who the fuck gives a shit once it's all on the table... who cares? We all have our lives to live and do so based on what other are, what others do... you know the shtick. it's nothing new and that is how we grow up while growing old... searching for out Being that we don't know anything about, but ask us about whose on second in the fifth? ask away! they're eager to let you know... meaningless emptiness is good shit!

The Limelight
all about show business I guess
being on que
knowing what is going on
while it is still going on
like watching Kerouac on William F. Buckley
and me hoping jack was not so drunk he did not have a clue
I felt offended by the guy, felt sorry for him too cause he let Mel get his goat


Navajo have a saying I am sure you have heard
"he acts like he has no family"
Yes sad shit ur right


I got a cute cat video I am going to show you next

Do you have a dog in this fight?

No. (No total idea about american english idioms & dogs too efusive & too barky ... you know ... )

[Unk]

the reporter is an idiot, he sounds like he is barking.
Maybe someone will write a book for journalists called Idioms for Idiots.
