Another Outbreak of Seriousness

The smart neocons aren't confronting the judgment on warrantless wiretapping is unconstitutional because its wrong, but it's not well written, you know, like Bush v. Gore. You know those black female judges weren't a good idea, were they? They're such literalists about "all men are created equal," and things like that, aren't they?

So the "serious" Fred Hiatt, and the abused liberals who love him, makes the point that it's "poorly reasoned." Hmm. Bet they thought granting Bush an injunction to stop counting the votes because his civil rights would be interfered with if the count went against him, that's wonderful logic.

I laughed

...at the first panel, was mad again by the last one.

Seriously.

Just today somebody at Slate told me it was too 'subtle' to explain how freedom and democracy in Iraq could make us safer from ME terrorists, while at the same time we're torturing Iraqis, killing them, and making them live under a reign of fundamentalist Islamic terror. My word, 'too subtle.'

I blame Joe Lieberman

If only we could excoriate Joe Lieberman, eater of babies and kicker of puppies with more words than we used to heap abuse on Bill Clinton. If only we could focus the total energy of every American at defeating the Evil Joe Menace then the world would be perfect. It would certainly be worth losing every other election in 2006 if we could do that.

Republicans are Dicks

That's pretty much all there is to it.

To the Paint Huffing Liberal Blogger

It's a good thing you didn't read the cartoon. It's silly. Just like me.

La la la la laaaaaaaaaaa ...
