Is there nothing that she will stop at?

Today’s news report finally pushed me over the edge with regard to the Clinton campaign.  After whining about sexism – and OK, I acknowledge that it exists, but where was the acknowledgment that Obama suffers both racism and misplaced anti-muslim behavior – she goes on and says that she’s in the race because “you never know what might happen” evoking the memory of Bobby Kennedy.

Geeze.  Wasn’t it her that said that only she could get the vote of white working class voters?  Wasn’t it she who pandered to every religious, social, ethnic and gender group out there?  Wasn’t it she who violated the election rules in both Florida and Michigan?  You can bet your bottom rupee that if she was on the other side of the table, she’d be arguing about how Obama can’t now expect to bend the rules.

The problem with Hillary is the same problem that we have with Bush – that moral and ethical relativity is taken to an extreme.  Certainly, no one realistically expects complete honesty from their elected officials, but the bald-faced disingenuousness of her bullshit is only equaled by the moral torpor of the Bush white house. 

This candidate needs to simply shut up and go away.  Period.

Ohhh…. that’s scary

I’m watching Fox News – now we have a boogie man… “Black Liberation Theology.”  They had some minister, Rob Shenck, talking about how it is “out of the mainstream” and even “advocates violence” … ohhh… scary…. and maybe even touches on, get this, Marxism.

Can you say “inquisition?”  War in Iraq?  War in many places?  War friggin everywhere?

Lets see… christianity was used to keep blacks down… to enslave them.  To kill Jews.  To kill Indians.  To kill Muslims.  So what’s so different about this?

Frankly, if a community is being violently oppressed – then what’s wrong with a little violence to stop it?

How else are we going to stop these f*cking right-wing nut jobs?  The folks who are using this war in Iraq to oppress the American middle class?  Are we the last group to stand silently and take it up the ass?  Maybe someone really does need to stand up and say “enough” and have something behind it.

USA Today

I’ve been traveling a lot recently.  Traveling gives me the opportunity to do things that I don’t often get to do in my coastal megapolis – including reading USA Today.

I particularly like the letters to the editor – and particularly when they touch on religion.  One recent letter talked about how an editorial “offended god.”  What, god called him up and said “you’re offending me!”?  Yeah, right.

And also last week, on Glen Beck (one of the most useless wastes of satellite bandwidth), some guy was talking about how the end times are near.  How this shit gets on CNN is beyond me!

OK… so, we don’t need to worry about the war, the recession or the environment.  The End Times are Nigh… so, in the inimitable words of Alfred E. Newman, “What, Me Worry?”
