quote for the day

A few years back, millions of people across this nation and across the globe marched for peace. George Bush ignored us and we had to endure his lazy ass being in the White House for eight years.

So now a black man named Barack Obama, elected by the will of the people, has decided to fight for the poor, and work for world peace… and a bunch of white guys who think Fox really is News just can’t stand it.

Well, they can kiss my ass because I am tired of their belly aching.

This is exactly how our political system works. Sometimes your party is in and sometimes it is out. Your party is currently out. So shut the hell up and deal with it.

I still dont know if it's a "real" site (though the odds go up the longer it exists). And when you come right down to it, the truth about Helen is irrelevant, the truth contained in her words is more important.

I question the reality of Margaret and Helen mainly because of the excellence of the writing and the timeliness of it's appearance on the scene during the election. That's probably paranoid on my part. Does it really matter if the words were written by a old lady or a twenty-something?
Here's more good stuff:

The Republican Party of yesteryear was respectable. You were all about a small government that carried a big stick. Now you are just despicable. You used to be the Party of Lincoln and now – honest to God – you make Archie Bunker look progressive.

If it wasn’t for Fox News you would be irrelevent. That’s right. You have become a party that owes its entire existence to a cable news channel owned by an Aussie. Your mascot should be a kangaroo instead of an elephant. After all, the last guy you sent to the White House arrived there thanks to a kangaroo court ruling rather than an election. He then spent the next 8 years bringing our nation to its knees. How about sitting down and shutting your damn pie holes long enough to see if the guy in office now can actually clean up your mess. Honestly, you are embarrassing yourself.

Look. My party has problems too. It’s biggest problem might be in attempting to please everyone, the Democratic Party seems to please no one. But diversity of opinions is something I am willing to work through. Bigotry and ignorance is not. I mean it. Really.

Seriously, how awesome is that?

Do you know one reason I hate the Republican Party? Because back in the "Contract With America" days, Republicans led the attack to de-fund Public Broadcasting for being "too liberally biased", while giving Faux News a tax-break (speaking of which) worth several hundred million*. And Murdoch, however much he might like being an American, didnt actually become one until he had to in order to buy a TV network.
