Rowhouse Logic - Breathtaking Inanity

No surprise in that really. I admit it freely and without an ounce of shame. The real surprise is existence of a Pro-Santorum blog. Actually no, that’s a lie. That was inevitable. Every political consultant with a client, regardless of that client’s mental condition, is working on the same because the kids love this crap.

I’m sure the young Republicans working the brutal front lines of Santorum’s Styrofoam “netroots” effort will be well compensated. Likely not in cash as that would look awful. I would imagine, however, that running or writing for a Pro-Santorum blog gets an enterprising young Republican a solid shot at a spot in one of the better paying right wing think tanks. Bully for them. This is the Young Republican who founded the site. He seems like fairly bright kid. Too bad he was overcome with wingnuttery at such a young age, because he may have otherwise become a productive member of society. We lose many this way, so don’t start crying.

Anyway, I’m pleased the young Republicans who run the Santorum Blog, associated me with such fine sites as 2 Political Junkies, Lawyers Guns and Money, PSoTD (a site that really does deserve wider recognition), as well as a random diarist on Kos. I certainly don’t belong in such fine company.

Since the Pro-Santorum site made the fairly common mistake of linking to this site by titling it “RowHouse Logic” rather than “Rowhouse Logic,” I feel an unrelated topic coming on. Do you feel it too? I know you do.

The word “rowhouse” is just that. No need to break it up into two words or capitalize the “h” in house. A rowhouse is a style of house that exists in towns and cities in every one of the founding 13 states. In Philadelphia we call them rowhouses, though they do go by a number of different names in other locales, as well as real estate advertisements.

Call them what you will, but the concept is the same. A rowhouse block looks like a canyon of brick and just a little stone. Concrete, asphalt and assorted crap flow down the middle. Every 10 feet or so you will find a pair of short staircases (stoops), usually made of unpolished marble or stone, which lead to a pair of doors. The houses behind those doors will usually have two very tall front windows, with stone or wood sills and often a flower box on each. Rowhouses originally populated by the wealthy in the 19th century are often wide enough for three large front windows. A nice deal if you can get it.

Should a walking spelling, grammar and punctuation mistake such as myself really be pointing out the errors of others? No! Indeed, this is nothing if it is not madness. I am, however, writing about a blog whose sole purpose is to do well by Rick Santorum. That, in and of itself, frees me to be as pointless and freakish as I want to be. At the very least, I’m not going on and on about dogs - not that I’m announcing a personal moratorium or anything. Santorum Hatred is always a good thing.
