A few days ago, a person who identified himself as “Chris Stiner,” from an IP address that traces to Egypt and a probably phony Hotmail address, found LGF by searching for “interview with Everclear Islam” (for which we are Google’s #1 result, I’ll have you know) and sent the following endearing note with our contact form:

Hey Charles and Mike,

I thought you guys were cool liberals based upon Charles’s picture with the long hair and all, but in the ned you’re both just two Zionist pigs. You support an apartheid state. You support oppression and your weblog is solely designed to spread hate toward Muslims. How can you sleep at night. You’ll probably just dismiss my words, I don’t really care. But if there is a hell, you guys are serious firewood. Look at yourselves in the mirror and see if you can covince yourselves that you’re doing good.

Trust me, you’re not.

Anyway, have a nice life.

Your American friend, Chris Stiner

Dear Chris,

Thank you for the note! It’s true that my very liberal-appearing hair has duped many into thinking I was cool. But really, now … “Zionist pigs” destined to burn in hell? One might almost get the impression that you’re feeling a very un-liberal sort of hostility.

But maybe it’s just the irritation of having to live in Egypt, which is pretty much hell already.

My profound sympathies,

Ned, the Zionist Pig
