    Nance, http://​detroit​blog​.org/ fea­tures a guy who used to walk through the Pointe with a pos­sum on his shoul­der. Ever see him?

    Was the march down Wood­ward to Hart Plaza? Huge crowd?

    This is news for Detroit.…Did you know there’s a tire com­pany that has put scent into their tires? And they think it is a mar­ket­ing advan­tage. Fancy that!

    Who held the gates. I’d say it was

    Who held the gates? I’d say it was Ray Nagin. Not any Republican.onfusion in the Heron House. If there wasn;t great dam­age, ot was becaise great ddam­age was done on the Repub­li­can watch a few years ago, they can kiss the Ninth
    wards’ ass.

    I doubt there was ever a pos­sum in the Grosses, but there was surely a pos­sum in Bloom­field Hills. Mean bitch, and my mom took her on. We knew about that from grow­ing up in West Vir­ginia on the banks of the Tug Rive in abject West Vir­ginia. I’d say it was more gnarly but hot half as trailer park.

    A polit­i­cal announce­ment fol­lowed me home today. Please don’t take my pici­c­ture. I had a bad day. There was a dis­tur­bance in the Her­ron House. Morons think Sting and Bono sing truth. The lit­tle pim­ple faced boy that tried to buy beers at Ted Hardy’s sal­loon did. Stand­ing on the shoul­ders of giants leaves me cold. lLeaves me cold. is so much bet­ter than mak­ing it up on the fly with Kyrie. The lit­tle turd wasn’t even Shane McGowan. And any­body would be god­damned to try to find a melody in the pre­tuned gui­tars and the pom­pus non­sense of U2. But we could make up some­thing about any­body. We don’t like some­body, he’s a mon­ster. We did make it up and he’s just a sad guy that you’re fam­ily hated because he was a moron that loved your sis­ter. You stalked this guy. You ruined his life. Because you could. What’s the evi­dence abainst the guy? You say so? You’re a stalker. It is impos­si­ble for you to deny this. You’re the gov­er­nor and you’re a stalker. Holy shit, you idiot, you stalked the guy.

    The chief is a spec­tac­u­larly good per­son. Not true? Well she is. She wouldn’t lie to any­body and she wouldn’t lie to any­body. She might fudge the truth. She believes crim­i­nals shorld get con­victed. Who doesn’t?

    Ray Nagin isn’t a crim­nal and karl Rove is respon­si­ble? Despi­ca­ble pieces of shit.

    Sarah doesn’t lie. If you believe that horse­shit you could not be stu­pider. Holy shit, what an idiot. What the hell is wrong with peo­ple? They’re so god­dam stu­pid it’s fright­en­ing. Peo­ple can’t be that fuck­ing stu­pid, can they?

    How is it that any­body in good con­science sup­ports a polit­i­cal party that engi­neered the Swift­boat crap. All’s fair? Includ­ing lying your ass off in ser­vice to a weasel that bailed on the Tejas National Guard and then did the same thing to Alabama?

    Those are not alle­ga­tions, they’re facts. What is wrong with peo­ple? The cur­rent admin­is­tra­tion actu­ally told y’all that Sad­dam blew up the WTC. What sort of cog­ni­tive dis­so­nance is involved in not call­ing these ass­holes liars? I think it’s fairly cer­tain Amer­i­can troops com­mit­ted atroc­i­ties and war crimes in Viet­Nam. Lieu­tenant Cal­ley said so, and we sup­port our troops. Does point­ing this out make you un-American? Well, no, it makes you Amer­i­can, if you aren’t some scum-sucking Nixon toady in white bucks like Paul O’Neill.

    The point is just that the Repub­li­can Party lies, cheats and steals Amer­i­can souls if it means resort­ing to racism or ques­tion­ing an opponent’s patri­o­tism. Why does any­body put up with this garbage? Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t get it. Mass hyp­no­sis? Facts of this mat­ter are clear and unde­ni­able. They lie. They malign and slan­der Amer­i­can cit­i­zens that have served the coun­try hon­or­ably, they pro­mote sleazy bas­tards that never did any such thing. Which part of this canard do vot­ers not get?

    Is it about ‘fram­ing’? Sorry, I think a ratio­nal human being’s reac­tion to the idea that ‘fram­ing’ works is launch­ing from a tall build­ing. There isn’t a human race just so we could be manip­u­lated by so many Screw­tapes. Funny, if you believe that’s wrong, you believe the TV preach­ers and the Bushes have been lying all along, and the ass­holes are work­ing for Ran­dall Flagg.

    Dan Quaill made W look like a war­rior. His wife made Mrs. Cheney look like a hack pornog­ra­pher by writ­ing hack PNAC spy pornog­ra­phy. Rea­gan was a sad case. Poppy bailed on his bud­dies. Ollie North was a whole lot more Amer­i­can ter­ror­ist than Johnny Tal­iban. Henry Kissinger mur­dered Allende and installed Pinochet, a butcher, a true star.

    If there’s a coun­try worth sav­ing, it’s worth sav­ing from Mr. Keat­ing Five. How does he skate on that mon­strous crim­i­nal­ity. Oh. He’s a Republican.

    Whew!

    Know what’s the fun­ni­est thing about the fly­ing nun pick? Con­ser­v­a­tive colum­nists went full goose loony over the idea that the Obama cam­paign didn’t ‘vet’ Hillary, as if that were nec­es­sary. Harry and Louise made their bogus case a cou­ple of decades ago. Believes in uni­ver­sal health care. What a jerk.

    Seems like McCain looked at Sarah’s tits and the cam­paign called that vet­ting, because, after all, that would get those Hillary die-hards. Ya know, cleav­age. If she takes off her glasses does she become mirac­u­lously ravishing?

    Did y’all know that ‘vet­ting’ actu­ally means hav­ing a vet­eri­nar­ian check out a horse to make sure it’s up to a race? With no snowmobiles.

    Is there any­thing more foul, Repub­li­can and Mordor-like than a Snow­mo­bile. Well actu­ally, Ski-Doos. Nowhere. Nohow.

    N,
    Cal­iban has turned from the drunk in the cor­ner of the bar that we all put up with, into a rag­ing alco­holic that we wish the owner would throw out and ban for awhile.

    I’ll sec­ond that, Joe K.

    I mean really, the vit­riol I’ve been read­ing on this site the past few days. Do we need to adjust our meds?

    Cal­iban — i’m still curi­ous about your take on the Waugh/Orwell (Blair) book. Do you find the con­nec­tion cred­i­ble, or is it just a the­sis in search of absent data?

    You don’t sound drunk or off meds, just vent­ing through the anonymity of the key­board. There’s worse per­sonal man­age­ment plans one could fol­low … “self-medicating by blog”, in the upcom­ing DSM V!
