lagilman: coffee or die (truth to power)
[personal profile] lagilman
I've been meaning to do a political post or three (most recent: Harry  "oops, you mean accepting free tickets is an ethical misstep for a public offical?" Reid's PR malfunction) but...

I, I just don't know where to begin.  So many targets, so little time or energy.  Example after example of why so many people in my geneation are cynical and jaded on a good day.  The only good politician is one that's already been convicted and is serving his/her sentence.  There are days I think it's all a conspiracy, to get us so worn down that we just accept anything because there's too much to fight.

If so, it;s not going to work.  Because, I swear, one more straw could be the one that breaks the camel-of-public-opinion's back, and camels are cranky critters at the best of time.  And their bile is toxic.  Really.  Trust me on this. 

Everyone know how to spit bile?  You just purse your lips, and cough "f*ck you."

Actually, before you get too pissed at Reid, you might want to give this article (http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/000786.php) a look. It looks to me like not so much a Reid PR snafu as a deliberate smear job...

Have you seen the blank books Abebooks is selling for their 10th anniversary? Their campaign is, "If you can't find it here, it doesn't exist." You'd probably like this one (http://www.abebooks.com/images/Downloads/whoops_800x600.jpg). The other titles are here (http://www.abebooks.com/docs/10-anniversary/not-books.shtml).
