Turd of the Week
Hillary, Girl, you know I love you and I wouldn't TOW you unless I knew it would help toughlove you back on the righteous path. Your Ghandi mea culpa was pretty total, but next time, get somebody to look over your speech

We're

Selling
weapons all over the globe to ensure civilian death and instability
which in turn ensures a strong market for years and years...
Happy
MLKing Day
Americans take the day to honor the memory of its most visible and effective
leader in the struggle to legitimize the Consitution. Well, some just use
it as an excuse to recover from drinking too much during the Sunday football
games. Others milk it for the photo-op that it can be. Bush gave a speech
at Dr.
King's
tomb, where he had to elevate his voice significantly to drown out the
sound of Dr. King spinning.
One the greatest things about King's goals and methods is that civil disobedience ultimately showed his great faith in the ideals of America. Where other nations would crush dissent, America deals with it. Not always gracefully, but America dealt with it. And Dr. King had faith that, with the right prodding, America would have no choice but to uphold its own Constitution.
Then, on his 75th birthday, his image is co-opted by the greatest threat to the constitution since Jefferson Davis.
Arghhhh!
Social Marriage
Engineering
Once upon a time, so called conservatives wanted to keep government out
of people's private lives. Now it seems conservative want to spend $1,500,000,000
to "promote marriage," the hetrosexual kind, that is. This will be achieved
by advertising, counseling and a healthy dollop of shame, not doubt. But
of course, the main target will be the poor.
Need some assistance with child care in order to complete your degree? Here's a pamphlet on how wonderful George and Laura Bush's relationship is.
With abstinence training, marriage promotion and gay marriage prohibitions forming the centerpiece for conservative social coersion, there's some pretty sick advertising due from Karl Rove as the election heats up.
Hillary!?!?!
What in the Name of Ghandi Were You Thinkin'?
It was straight out of a GOP foot in mouth playbook. A numbskull politician makes
some reference to Ghandi which embraces the most ugly American stereotypes of
Indian. But lordy, it turned out to be unintended bile emanating from Hillary
Rodham.
Girl, if the rumors about 2008 are true, you'd best hone the tongue a bit in preparation. I mean, even George W. has learned to avoid saying the stupidest things (too bad he hasn't avoided doing them.). Find out who wrote that line in your speech and fire their asses!
Who
to Caucus For?
I get letters. Some of them are not right wing diatribes wishing for me
to die a napalm soup in a Tikrit spiderhole. Of this tiny subset, there
is wonderment on which candidential fence the crap sickened pundit sits.
Let me state there is no candidate who jumps out as the uber-dude (now
that CMB is out, I can use gender pronouns).
That said, I would even rather see Leiberman as president (shudder!!!) that the current band of lying potentates. Dean worries me in how he might transform his anti-Bushness into pro-Deanness. Wesley is a little too recently from the other team. Edwards just strikes me as a opportunist, while Gephart and Kerry work too hard to be captivating. Sharpton was intriguing until he overplayed the race card (didn't he learn anything from Tawana Brawley?) while Cuscinich, close though I am to him on the issues, is too far left to be taken seriously.
I want the guy that can best beat Bush. I'm convinced any one of them could govern and lead more effectively, but I want the candidate who can make it happen. It's gonna take a strong candidate to overcome the paeans to fear the Bushies use as a smokescreen for their global dominion, environmental raping, fat cat giveawaying bullshit.
Whoever emerges from IA, NH and SC as the frontrunner gets my support.
