As my great-grand-uncle Jim McKelvey, who worked for Harry Truman for 30 years, told me at an early age:

"The only 'good Republicans' are pushing up daisies."

Jack Kingston is proof of why Northerner's generally can't stand Southerners, the way they revel in their ignorance and general shit-headedness.

As to Rush, that drug-addled, Viagra-crazed, Dominican-boy-chaser needs to be found face down in a dark alley, as he becomes a "good Republican."

Mark Mays, CEO of Clear Channel has long been a major activist in the far right of the Texas Republican Party, and a major contributor to the Southern Baptists, making him a major activist in the Christian Right. Remember how right after 9/11 Clear Channel stopped broadcasting "unpatriotic" music for a week? That was him.

And now guess who owns Clear Channel? Why, it's the company that's controlled by Mitt Romney!! America's own Silvio Berlusconi.

Nice to see that the morons dumb enough to pass the IQ test low enough to work on Wall Street are too dumb to know what my father knew about computers 50 years ago, when he had a sign over the desk in his lab:

"THOSE WHO THINK COMPUTERS THINK DON'T"

DAMAGES comes true. But Mozilo is definitely no Ted Danson.

Sumner Redstone, CEO of Viacom, which owns CBS, said during the controverswy over the 60 Minutes report about Bush having been AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard that "Republicans are better for Viacom," which was why he wanted Dan Rather gone. This statement and the attitude of Jack Welch at General Electric are proof that there should be a law that prevents non-news companies from owning news media. As was once said long ago, "the press is free to he who owns one."

This is also why the MSM is never going to be reformed short of such legislation, or perhaps even constitutional amendment to protect the news media.

Last month, I found some photos I took at an airshow 30 years ago, of the crowd. It was surprising to compare this photo to one I took over the summer of the crowd at a similar event. Why? 30 years ago, the overwhelming majority of the crowd was thin, not rail thin, not model-thin, but mostly of appropriate weight for height, etc. - this summer the crowd's collective individual size was nearly the exact opposite. What a gaggle of slobs.

Does the fact that Mickey D's can now now claim "billions and billions sold?" Does the sun rise in the east?

Over the past 5 years, I gradually adopted a vegetarian diet, my decision originally driven by economics as meat prices went north of my comfort zone. This past summer I had an annual physical exam: height: 6' 0"; weight: 167 (perfect for height); cholesterol of 172. As the doc said, "you're in great health for a man of 45." Except I am 18 years older than that. Is there a connection between this result and my non-meat diet? Of course there is. and I'm not sitting there eating beans and tofu. There's all kinds of interesting, tasty food out there that doesn't include a dollop of heart attack rare in the middle of the plate.

One is surprised that the Heimat Geheimstatspolitzei, the most Republican organization ever devised, is completely and totally incompetent?

Remember, "security" was designed and run by Republicans.

Republicans: the other hairless biped on the planet, aka homo sap, as opposed to all the rest of us, aka homo sapiens.

Notice that the only campaigns - and only political party - he mentions as being guilty of making threats are the Republican candidates and the Republican Party.

I think it's time to consign "Godwin's Law" to the trash heap of history and call the Republican Party what it is: the American Nazi Party. More accurately, the Party of Nazi Wannabees and Southern Treason.

Visit any right wing blog, most prominently Free Republic, Little Green Snotballs and RedState, and see exactly what I mean.

Let's see:

1. Draft-dodger who gets a "funny' deferment to get out of demonstrating his cowardice, for a boil on his butt that allegedly keeps him from sitting down, though he's had a job for 30 years that has him sitting on his fat ass.

2. Drug addict who gets his maid to do his drug-running for him.

3. Viagra-crazed sex addict who takes a vacation to the Dominican Republic, a place well-known as a destination for those who enjoy sex with underage boys and girls.

Yep, Rush has lots of "skeletons" in his closet.

If today's Washington Post Editorial Board had been there 35 years ago, Nixon would still be President-for-Life.
