Shit was meant to be lost, that's why we invented scat and golden showers.

See, the right has crazies like Glenn Beck, and the left has Janeane Garofalo! They're pundits are just as crazy and harmless! Ha ha.

See, President Bush wrecked the economy, embroiled us in 2 wars, used taxpayer dollars to secure the finances of the ultra rich and assume control of GM, and Obama gets the blame! Both presidents have equal warts!

President Bush used illegal methods to allow the (Conservative) Supreme Court to name him president despite Al Gore's popular victory. President Obama is alleged to be a Kenyan-born Muslim who wants to destroy the US from within. Fairness doctrine!

Remember how we all talk and kind of only half-heartedly joke about how the GOP is doing its damndest to scare off minorities? R.I. GOP's Hispanic Assembly chairman quits party

Quote

CRANSTON, R.I -- Ivan G. Marte, chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Hispanic Assembly, says he has quit the GOP out of embarrassment at South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's address to Congress last week.
...
"I do not want to continue being a member of a party in which the members of the party express themselves in that way," said Marte, 59, of Cranston. In a phone interview, he called Wilson's behavior "shameful" and "uncivilized."

This is a big fucking blow considering the trend for Cubanos to be staunch Republicans.

Despite their religious conservativism, the cries of "Fuck Castro" are dying out with the older generations Batista supporters and the occasional actually oppressed person. And the GOP's religious crazy tends to be an exclusive protestant club anyway.

Essentially the Cold War political alignment is changing into something else (thank god) and the GOP can't cope and the Democrats are kinda blundering in to it, if the healthcare debacle is any indication. Maybe we'll lose that irrational fear of Russia while we're at it.

That won't happen until after a far too large portion of us loose that irrational fear of other portions of our own population. (I'm talking about ~~teabaggers~~Racists, wait, what's the difference?!)

I think it's the difference between Protestants and Christians.

Anyway, everything I've read about Russia in the past year has basically served to remind me that Russia is a pretty shitty place to live (unless you've got serious money (and even then a hit-or-miss affair)). So, I'm not sure we're going to lose our irrational fear of Russia any time soon.

Hm, and being less of an asinine shit, I have a feeling it'd just be replaced by an irrational fear of China.

EDIT:

People suck, and those who don't are even bigger cocksuckers.

Oh I don't know, The Russians are no longer Godless Commies and have the added bonuses of being incredibly white and terribly racist. All qualities to endear them to the "Right" kind of people.

Quote from: My Mom

A lot of the problems we're having now are my generation's fault, and now we're paying the price for it.

It makes sense, I think.

I think she's implying that the previous generation has finally started caring about what lies just beyond their own noses, now that they've walked right into it.

Census worker found hanged with the word 'fed' scrawled across his chest

Mongrel · « **Reply #256 on:** September 23, 2009, 07:12:30 PM »

Best part is the story is over a week old and took this long to hit the news.

"Our job is to determine if there was foul play involved – and that's part of the investigation – and if there was foul play involved, whether that is related to his employment as a census worker," said Beyer.

It's great to see the Kentucky police are ON THE CASE!

You'd think that they'd make any hypothetical terrorist message more blatant given the general subtlety of the extreme right so far.

Well I suppose we'll find out as the investigation progress/the offender strikes again/copy cats.

The official did not say what type of instrument was used to write the word.

The fact that they bothered to be ambiguous about this is interesting.

Oy Gevalt! How about some other country's culture war for a change?

This is a pretty good description of something that's been going on for a while now. All I have to say is: "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, know that the abyss gazes also into you."
