that's what right wingers like to believe, and they are right to some degree. Just as the pot that called the kettle black was right in some degree, ironically.

>so Lichas, hurled away / By those gigantic shoulders through the void, / Blood-drained by fear, all living moisture lost, / The old tale tells, was turned to flinty rock

*Her

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from tha stairhead, bearin a funky-ass bowl of lather on which a mirror n' a razor lay crossed. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind his ass on tha mild mornin air yo. Dude held tha bowl aloft n' intoned:

-Introibo ad altare Dei.

Halted, he peered down tha dark windin stairs n' called up coarsely:

-Come up, Kinch! Come up, you fearful jesuit!

Solemnly his schmoooove ass came forward n' mounted tha round gunrest yo. Dude faced bout n' pimped gravely thrice tha tower, tha surroundin land n' tha awakin mountains. Then, catchin sight of Stephen Dedalus, his thugged-out lil' punk-ass bent towardz his ass n' made rapid crosses up in tha air, gurglin up in his cold-ass throat n' bobbin his head. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Stephen Dedalus, displeased n' chilly, leaned his thugged-out arms on tha top of tha staircase n' looked coldly all up in tha bobbin gurglin grill dat pimped him, equine up in its length, n' all up in tha light untonsured hair, grained n' hued like pale oak.

Buck Mulligan peeped a instant under tha mirror n' then covered tha bowl smartly.

-Back ta barracks muthafucka! da perved-out muthafucka holla'd sternly.

Dude added up in a preacher’s tone:

-For this, O dearly beloved, is tha genuine Christine: body n' ass n' blood n' ouns. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Slow music,. Biiiatch please.Shut yo' eyes, gents, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. One moment fo' realz. A lil shiznit bout dem white corpuscles. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Silence, all.
