Power to the tin-foil hat people

Cecil Vortex

You hear it all the time: "Oh you know, he's a tin-foil hat guy." And "I know I may sound a little tin-foil hat here but...". And "Hey! -- nice tin-foil hat, Betsy. Metaphorically speaking."

And I ask you: What about people who really like to wear tin-foil hats? Did anybody ever stop to think of their feelings?

I mean, I like to wear legumes in various body parts. That doesn't mean it's open season on legumes-in-various-body-parts people. "Oh, you know, he's a legume-in-various-body-parts kind of person..." That's not OK. It's just not.

I'll tell you what it is: It's just another example of the soft bigotry of making fun of people who like to wear legumes in various body parts.
