The old Minnesota farmers I got the saying from knew damn well what it meant, and had you presented them with your argument on the validity and accuracy of that saying, they probably would have lifted you by the seat of the pants about halfway through, and tossed you into the nearest manure pile. Believe me, a manure pile on a pig farm is nothing to take lightly.
Actually, on re-reading your post, it's possible the metaphor went right over your head anyway, which would probably amuse those farmers almost as much as your hitting that pile face-first.
Not sure where "idolatry" comes anywhere into this. Was merely expressing my outrage at people filtering the tsunami tragedy and the generous response of this nation through their own Bush Derangement Syndrome. Maybe you were trying to type "idiots," which raises interesting "Freudian slip" implications.

- It depends...
- Bush waits 3 days before giving Asia tsunami survivors 15 million dollars.....
- sorta like high stakes poker--Bush raised pot from $ 15 mil to $ 35 mil and now to $350 million.....
- Kofi Anan waited 4 days...
- Maybe Kofi Annan can give some of his oil for food kickbacks to help. (n/t)
- What the hell is wrong with you?
- Don't worry Lindy, preznit is sending brother Jeb............
- The fact that you think I'm gloating only further demonstrates what the problems are.
