Urge to kill...rising

[The monkey babies, Dana, think of the monkey babies]

Vidiot got me all incensed, dammit. Read this!

HASTERT: Here in this campaign, quote, unquote, "reform," you take party power away from the party, you take the philosophical ideas away from the party, and give them to these independent groups.

You know, I don't know where George Soros gets his money. I don't know where—if it comes overseas or from drug groups or where it comes from. And I—

WALLACE (interrupting): Excuse me?

HASTERT: Well, that's what he's been for a number years—George Soros has been for legalizing drugs in this country. So, I mean, he's got a lot of ancillary interests out there.

It's amazingly like Michelle Malkin's insane accusations, that Kerry shot himself in Vietnam. She claims "others" were saying is, and she's only the messenger. Sure there were others: crackpots, liars, and reputation thieves.

Reminds me of a story in Jerry Della Femina's 1970 book From the Folks Who Brought You Pearl Harbor. He describes having a problem with a bully at school. So Jerry puts up some graffiti, using the bully's name, saying, "[Bully] is not a faggot." So of course, everyone began to wonder, "Is [Bully] a faggot?"

you know, normally i don't really go in for hardcore thrash music, but this week, this RNC bullshit has me so mad i could flip if i hear one more dumbass...ok, calm down. so anyway can i recommend the perfect music for this week? The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombation in 12 Parts, by The Refused (now defunct). it's really, really heavy and really, really political and really, really good. there's some free mp3s on amazon for anyone who's into that sort of stuff (jonmc?), or other Situationist punk/thrash from Scandinavia. just FYI, you know, for the other mental bomb-throwers out there.

Except that Dennis Hastert is the Speaker of the House. Third in presidential succession. De facto leader of the legislative branch. Michelle Malkin's just a harpy -- this bozo is a high-level elected official, and he's not being taken to task for his scurrilous behavior.

See, that's what I call the "Dan Quayle Theory of Life Insurance." Bush Sr. really didn't need the Secret Service to protect him, 'cause if somebody offed him, that would have left Quayle in charge, and even the promise of some hot Jody Foster lovin' ain't enough to make that happen.

Then again, if some freak of nature left Quayle occupying the throne, that'd probably be an improvement over Dubya. Hell, a goldfish would make a better president.

Exactly. Who'd want to take out Bush? I mean, Cheney is practically president anyway. Then, it's Hastert, then Ted Stevens, and then finally you get to Colin Powell.
