Profanation

Ezra at Pandagon skewers Dennis Prager today for Prager's contention that Democratic candidates' use of "the f-word" is a threat to civilization.

Wait a second, which f-word?

This one?

Or this other one?

Or even this one??!

Let's check with Prager himself:

I do believe that many well-intentioned Democrats and liberals such as Senator Kerry do not understand what makes our civilization great (the most significant example being the preservation of the Judeo-Christian value system). ... The Democratic Party has earned a reputation as a poor defender of our civilization against external threats. In fact, it has become a poor defender of our civilization. Period.

Oh yeah, I guess Prager meant this f-word. That's an f-word I learned about in college. If using that or any other word beginning with "f" makes me a threat to civilization, then you can keep your civilization, Mr. Prager.
