Thursday, July 3rd, 2008The big question is: Why’d they stop dunking?
Leave it to Christopher Hitchens to throw in the little dramatic bits that let you know how brave he is right before he confesses to a fear of drowning caused by “a bad childhood moment on the Isle of Wight, when I got out of my depth”. Yes, he’s still the hungover drama queen he’s always been, but my hat’s off to Mr. Hitchens for bringing to the larger public’s attention once again the barberic and detestable practice known as waterboarding. America needs to make some amends and genuinely claen up its act after these past eight years of Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz-driven sadism and insanity. Good show, Hitchens.

Wouldn’t The Guy That DIDN’T Get Shot Down Be A Better Candidate?

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008Speaking the truth isn’t always so useful. The Dems need to be a little more republican if they want to win in November.
Only in politics can someone state a simple truth like Wes Clark’s remark that getting shot down as a fighter pilot doesn’t qualify you to be president, and have it dominate the news cycle for days. What this really highlights, in my opinion, is the fact that the Democrats either don’t really care if they win in November, or they haven’t learned a bloody thing from the past eight or so years. Get a message, Dems, and stick to it. Here’s a link to the GOP Playbook (PDF), if you need a primer. The DailyKos even has a searchable web-page version. Get it together, Obamaniacs, get it together. Slate has an insightful piece, The Grunt vs. the Flyboy, that sheds some light on what might lead Wes Clark to wander into such a major message blunder.

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Hillary the Undead wants every last penny she can get, even though she already had a bunch of pennies and wasted them on candy.
Barack Obama is asking donors to help Hillary with her debt. Now hold on a minute. If she had just freakin’ dropped out of the race instead of serving up her perpetual encore performance of Hillary the Undead, would she even be in debt? And besides, isn’t half the debt a result of money she loaned to herself? Go ahead suckers. Here’s your “Donate” link. But be aware that the reason she’s laughing so hard in that picture on the left is because she’s on the way to the bank. Frankly, I think it would be a much better use of your money to donate it to someone like me who could actually use it though. So here’s a way for you to donate to my “I Need Money More Than Hillary Fund”. Just click the PayPal button below. I’m serious.
