Furious Indifference.

Seriously? Tom Delay? Really? Tom Delay thinks that McCain's campaign has been too nice, too vanilla? I've gotten mailbox spam accusing Obama of everything but outright pedophilia, and Mr. Bug Killer, too corrupt even for the Texas GOP, is somehow given a segment on the supposed liberal MSNBC (owned by that liberal conglomerate of Microsoft and General Electric) to peddle the same discredited and disproved bullshit that continues to be treated as gospel by the very same people who ravaged McCain in the primaries as being too liberal? Wow, the stunning cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy is like seeing the sun rise in the west and being told that it is nothing to worry about, that it has always risen in the west, and that what you remembered all along was mistaken, and you should probably lay down for a spell. I'm just pissed that Matthews didn't give this reprobate the treatment he's given to other, less ridiculous idiots he's interviewed. One has to wonder ab...

For the last couple of weeks I've had a bit of a running conversation via e-mail with an old Air Force buddy about racism, especially concerning politics, and the Obama presidential campaign specifically. It has been exasperating to an extent because I allow him to get my goat, which puts me on the defensive, and that isn't, to say the least, the strategy that leads to positive persuasion. I'll be honest, I enjoy debate, but I'm lousy at persuasive argument. I make a lousy sales person because I often forget the dictum, " always be closing ," and meander around the showroom of ideas picking up shiny things and get momentarily and thus, fatally distracted. Just because I enjoy something doesn't translate automatically into being very good at something, if it did, I'd be a great golfer and a world renowned movie critic. Enjoying the passion of defending a set of beliefs based on evidence and reason, doesn't mean you will become particularly good at i...

The idea that "small town" America is somehow more patriotic and more deserving of praise for sacrifices and hard work is just so ridiculous, so stupid, and yet so very dangerous that it deserves full and unrestrained mocking. Sarah Palin complains that God has been mocked in this campaign to CBN ("Christian" Broadcasting Network); while she simultaneously mocks her fellow citizens and the beatitudes of Jesus Christ. Pitting brother against brother. Shame on the McCain campaign, the GOP, Sarah Palin, and their detestable and sleazy and frankly dangerous strategy. Keith Olbermann nails it on the head with this "special comment." Keith is a partisan for sure, but so was Edward R. Murrow... because we needed him then against the McCarthyites, and we need people like Keith now against this disturbing meme that Obama is somehow alien and those who support him are un-American. Perhaps as victims of some future's history we are doomed to repeat, but I will no...

Okay, I admit this picture isn't fair. It's a "frame grab*" or photo of after Senator McCain realized he was leaving the stage the wrong way and made a gesture of "oops" we all have at one time or another. But it is; however, emblematic, of the starkly obvious choice that Obama represents the "new," and hope for at least a moderate improvement in national politics and the over all performance of government that has been ridiculously abysmal. No guarantees in politics, but neither are there in life. And why does the so called liberal media act as if a registered Ohio Republican plumber named, "Joe" thinks as if he really is "undecided?" Considering upon being interviewed today, he sounds like Karl Rove has his hand up his butt and grabbing his brain stem, reciting anti-social security rhetoric and so on... so, I remain skeptical ( lol ). When politicians or anyone for that matter starts you thinking, "what do you take me for...

Green Day was a few years early... because we are now certainly in the "Year of the Idiot." No, I'm not calling McCain and idiot you silly, I'm calling you one if you vote for this guy... a smidgen of a difference don't you know. If you tell me you are voting 'against' Obama, and not for McCain, well then vote for Ralph Fucking Nader! Hell, he winks involuntarily all of the time and is a complete narcissist asshole -- he's McCain and Palin in one tidy package. PS Oh, and thanks again for running in 2000 Ralph. You said that Americans need to see how bad it could get under continued corporate rule... well, you got your wish you asshole. I'm so sure we'd be exactly where we are today if we'd had elected a nerdy, and oh my, and overly-earnest technocrat as president instead of the worst president ever... Thanks again. Putz.

Apparently the McFear and Failin campaign has big news to tell us in the AM! OMG ! The Politco , a website that pretends to be bi-partisan, as long as you believe the middle of the political spectrum is to the right of say, Newt Gingrich... okay, I kid, they are better than perhaps the Drudge Report or Newsmax , but not that much better. I guess it would be fair to say they are "right leaning..." and that would be if only you were hanging on to the railing of the ship of state on the port side to begin with... such is the uneven playing field as it were. Really, if it was something "earth-shattering," or even mildly surprising, good but less than an "October Surprise," do you think it would be telegraphed like this on a Wednesday night? When who the (redacted) knows what the news cycle will be tomorrow?? Given that the "markets," are behaving like unbalanced flakes with "The End is Near" signs around their unwashed necks, screaming a...

Hey, it's just the future of mankind or whatever... and it's at least safe to say he's locked up the bigot-vote with his dog-whistle comments and openly disdainful body language towards him, not to mention, the "who is Obama really " Willy Horten- ish ads run by the ghosts of Lee Atwater that obviously call the shots for McCain campaign. And the next debate is on domestic policy? Surely that's McCain's strong suit right? Oh my, I almost, almost feel sorry for McCain. To be perfectly honest, I kind of liked the old codger, especially when he went up against Shrub in 2000 and called Falwell and Robertson and Dobson for what they are, "agent's of intolerance." But, I guess he'd fooled me, because he said that, and complained about negative campaigning out of expediency and not conviction way back then before 9/11, Gulf War II, torture, and now the collapse of the world economy, etc. I've seen less awkward divorce proceedings.... Sure...

I Need to blog again... I need to vent, need to express, need a place to ejaculate my pent up thoughts, need to talk, need to feel again. I have a second job until November 4th. I've been canvassing neighborhoods, phone-banking, and hosting meetings and debate-watching parties in support of the Obama-Biden campaign. To be perfectly honest, I'm not that ideologically aligned with the Senator from Illinois, but GOD DAMMIT, WTF is wrong with you people? Can you not see through the ridiculously disingenuous and patently immature campaign of John McCain? Hell, I respected the man as a fellow veteran when he took on Bush in 2000, and was outraged how he was treated. Inexplicably, he has hired, and apparently subsumed himself to the very people that defeated him then with the slimiest and most racist primary battle in modern history, to now run his campaign (schmitt, rove, davis, ghost of atwater, et al). He has sold his soul for power so much like the character Golom in the Lord of ...
