Ron Ramsey—Nithing of the Week

Posted by Betsy Phillips on Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 1:21 PM

Those Vikings were always making something out of nithing.
  • Those Vikings were always making something out of nithing.
Whew! I just had one of those "when worlds collide" moments when I was catching up on heathen blogger Hrafnkell Haraldsson's blog and saw that Haraldsson's Nithing of the Week this week is our own Ron Ramsey. This makes sense because — even if Ramsey was only saying that Islam might not be a religion — if Ramsey won't offer constitutional protections to one of the Big Three monotheistic religions, what does that signal for polytheists? Pagans get a little testy about stuff like that.

For those of you not up on your Viking insults, a "nithing" is a person who is completely without honor. Back in the day, if you ran into a dude like Ramsey, you could curse him by raising a "nithing pole." Famed occasionally-irrationally-irate poet and berserker Egill Skallagrímsson laid a nasty nithing pole curse on King Eric and Queen Gunnhilda and the spirits of the land they inhabited by nailing a horse's head to a rune-inscribed pole.

Bless Ramsey's heart, but I doubt any pagan these days would find him worth the horse.

If you care about your friends, tell them not to accept any free rides from Senator Ramsey. You can rest assured Ramsey's state-taxpayer-funded campaign chauffeur and bodyguard has requested a 24-hour THP guard be mounted over the vehicles and additional back-up provided.
That YouTube video was one stupid Allahu Akbar moment.
