    Oh, The Hysteria!

    Bulbous, bouncing, 40' tall purple aliens from the planet Spoon could land on Earth right now and I wouldn't understand them any more than I understand these angry, ignorant, trembling, paranoids. It seems that so many folks on the right, like the infamous Limbaugh Ditto-heads, revel in being spoon-fed propaganda and regurgitating it on demand. Like the nimrod bimbo who assured me the other day that "Obama is a Muslim and he's going to fill the country with Muslims". Uh, no. "But his name is Hussein!" I have a friend named Sarah, I replied, that doesn't mean she hunts Moose. "But he associates with terrorists!" Yeh, I associate with Republicans, but that doesn't make me a one."
