... and remember as you eventually drift off into dreamland too: my complete and uncompromised civil rights as an American are not and never will be a "fringe" issue, fuck you very much indeed.

Goodnight.

Sleep tight.

Don't let the hippies bite.

WARD CHURCHILL has the strength of a thousand men!

WARD CHURCHILL is the name known and feared by every living creature on God's green earth!

WARD CHURCHILL can clone himself into an infinite number of demonic incubi, each hiding under the bed of every real patriotic American right this very minute!

WARD CHURCHILL controls the media, the railroads, the international banking system and the outcome of Indiana's Powerball lottery!

WARD CHURCHILL fought Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Andre the Giant, Godzilla, Mothra, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, Mary Cheney and the total combined forces of the Soviet bloc bare-handed ... and won!

WARD CHURCHILL commands a vast army of flesh-eating superhuman androids who shoot atomic death-rays from their eyes!

WARD CHURCHILL is Satan's bff and has the Valentine's Day cards to prove it!

WARD CHURCHILL will run uncontested for Supreme High Overlord of the United States of America in 2008 after murdering all his opponents, the Congress, the Supreme Court, the League of Women Voters and the Motion Picture Ratings Board, instituting a new thousand-year reich!

WARD CHURCHILL is that most dangerous, powerful, awesome and deadly species on the planet (and here I urge the sensitive reader to avert his/his eyes): a college professor!

No wonder Anonymous is terrified of the mighty, omnipotent Ward Churchill; at the snap of his gigantic occult fingers, Anonymous' dick fell right off.

Muslims, even civilians, even women and children, are not human. They are rabid racoons, so we are to kill them without guilt or punishment.

Congratulations, Shooter. You are now officially a monster.

Anonymous: When most Americans think of liberal academics...

...monkeys will fly out of Lindsay Lohan's ass.

My God, you're an intellectual disaster area. Somebody call FEMA.

so-called educated elites who spit anti American hatred

--Anonymous

I'm a so-called semi-educated working-stiff not-so-elite but I spit frequently, so I feel qualified to address this.

I do not hate America.

I hate George Bush, the neocon cabal that created him, the corporatist oligarchy that enables him, and the hormonally-challenged evolutionary throwbacks who somehow, despite everything that's happened in the last six years, continue to support them all.

I LOVE America...

Which is precisely why I hate George Bush, the neocon cabal that created him, the corporatist oligarchy that enables him, and the hormonally-challenged evolutionary throwbacks who somehow, despite everything that's happened in the last six years, continue to support them all.

Got it now, pussycat?

If I declare the mice that periodically invade my kitchen to be Al Qaeda-affiliated rodents, will the U.S. Armed Forces be dispatched to my apartment to help me fight off the little vermin? Can Halliburton be given a no-bid cost-plus contract to lay poison and glue traps? Will President Bush announce that we must "exterminate them over there so we don't have to exterminate them over here?" Could Northrup-Grumman replace my tired, blind old dog with a heavily armored, state-of-the-art high-tech cat?

If that works, my next project will be to establish links between Al Qaeda and my employers, Al Qaeda and the IRS, Al Qaeda and my ex-boyfriends...

another rehash of how all of America is despicably depraved.

Not "all of America," darling. Just you and your despicably depraved brethren of the 28 ... 27 ... 26 and falling per cent.

it does let some of the air out of that bleeding heart balloon, no?

-- RealName

Spoken like a leaking tank of methane.

why not just get to something topical, and enjoy the victory?

This is boring, frankly.

You must be one of those "captive" readers tiberius is so concerned about. It's awful the way Glenn stands over each of us wielding his cat o' nine tails and electric cattle prod, forcing us to read (and comment) on every single one of his posts. There's something almost -- what? supernatural? impossible? ludicrous? -- about it.

Does anyone think they can keep this up for another 20 years? For nothing?

-- paradox_left_coaster

Not for nothing. For our country. For our Constitution. For our humanity. For our souls.

I get paid to do a job other people want me to do. I would love to get paid for doing what I believe is the right thing to do, but I'd also like to eat chocolate ice cream day and night yet remain slim and healthy. That's simply an unrealistic expectation.

If you want to support yourself and your family in comfort, you don't join the Peace Corps.

It's awfully nice when you can earn a decent living doing the right thing, but it's the rare exception to the rule.

Wouldn't both Jonah and Tucker be languishing in the obscurity they so richly deserve if they had not been set up in the "family business" by a parent? Could that be a source of their authority-worshipping "parent issues"?

Further random thoughts:

Looking at the screen caps from "The View" and "Family Guy," it's hard to say whether Jillian or Elizabeth looks more like a cartoon character.

Aside to number1laing, I've always had a hard time with the wildly uneven "South Park," harder still since reading that its creators describe themselves as "libertarian" Republicans. On the other hand, I can overlook a lot in exchange for the sheer brilliance of "Bigger, Longer & Uncut."

tiberius: you're a riot. Keep up the good work. If I had my way, you'd be the poster boy for the Republican Party. Wait ... maybe you already are.

RealName: please get some help. Seriously. I worry about your family, friends and neighbors.
