Subject: [Orb] OT OT OT OT OT OT My oh my. (and one on topic question to boot)

 

Staying on topic for a moment, has anyone heard this new song 'The Land Of
Green Ginger'?  Maybe on a radio show or something?

Well.  This is almost as much fun as the arguments that went around after
Thanksgiving at my grandma's house.  I've got a "born again" uncle who has
thrown in with the far right despite the fact that three years ago they
would've locked him up for the rest of his life...

And I still say this beats the hell out of getting twenty one-line e-mails
per day that say "Where's my BOB/TOG XX?"  "I talked to _______ at Bad-Orb
and they shipped my BOB/TOG XX."  "Has anyone else in such and such a place
gotten their BOB XX?"  It was like that EVERY FUCKING DAY for months and
nobody bitched about it.  How in the hell is merchandise shipping on
topic?!?!?

I think the argument of being offtopic should (and really has been with only
two exceptions) be suspended until the sabers stop rattling.  This is scary
shit and it helps to know there are others out there that stand with you, or
at least will argue against you.  Bush and co. don't argue.  They just march
on and call you a traitor if you question them.

Here's the thing(s) with Shrub:
1.  He was not elected.
2.  He works via bait and switch.  Nothing that comes out of his mouth is
straightforward truth.
3.  He's a spoiled little hunched over baby that tries to pretend he doesn't
have a silver spoon in his mouth.

If you like dancing all night to "weird" music like the Orb, then you are an
enemy of the conservatives.  People like you might use mind expanding drugs
or you might have sex outside of marriage or you might feel that sexuality
is ones own business and not that of the government.  Anyone that disagrees
with the right-wing fundamentalist Christians that are usurping power in
this country belong in jail in their opinion and they're going to do
everything they can to put you there and keep you there for as long as
possible.  I plan on fighting the conservatives until they rip the pen from
my cold, dead fingers.

This country was founded on liberal values and the best results for all the
people have come from liberal initiatives.  The Interstate highway system,
rural electrification, social security, Medicare, welfare, progressive
income tax, desegregation, and much more.  The conservatives have brought us
one recession after another while their paymasters have become richer and
richer at the expense of the rest of us.  If you make less than a quarter of
a million dollars per year you are a fool to think the right wing is helping
you in any way (though what they SAY sounds like they want to help everyone,
what they DO helps only the ultra-wealthy).  And even if you are amongst the
top 5% of income in this country, by dragging down the bottom, eventually
the whole pyramid collapses and you'll end up in the crap just like everyone
else.

Anyway, I say we kidnap the lot of them, take them into the forest, force
feed them shrooms for several weeks while naked young girls dance about them
to the music of the Orb et. al.  That'll fix the whole thing up right fast.

Oh, and +[doh\]+, please cut it out with the all caps thing.  No need to
shout.


Your friendly neighborhood windbag,
