CLASH OF THE "SPITE-AN'S"

It's beginning to feel like that magical time here in Narnia when nearly half of our "legal" citizens reep the rewards of the "Voting Rights Act" and get to choose between two competing visions for the country: regrettably bad and horribly worse. One group of people (Democrats) want to treat Al Qaeda like an advocacy group and 9/11 like a protest that went too far. The other group of people (Republicans) have a tendecy to believe that Jesus chooses their breakfast cereal for them. Cheerios represent "wholeness" and the "circle of life" whereas Count Chocula is a no go for obvious reasons. (The count is pro choice.) For those like myself who thrive on the exchange of ideas and cleverly worded "slurs" every day in this campaign will be a blessing! It is not entirely fair to describe these two political parties by mocking their most extreme supporters but extremism much like "sex" and "fear" sells and motivates. In watching the Democratic and Republican debates I had the recurring thought: are dictatorships that bad? They've done wonders for the major league baseball. I am going to post regularly and include "serious debate topics" like the war, the corruption and politization of religion, the expansion of failed social programs, the culture war update: the traditional values coalition is "surging" to counter the ACLU, and much much more. I will also publish the opinions of "others" so long as they are "white-land owning males," which is only right if you think about it, but why think about it when someone else can think for you! It's America stupid! What a year it will be.
