Launch Day

Today is the launch of the new edition of D&D...so I'm going to talk about politics. Psych.

On game night yesterday we were talking politics and Ray once again brought up the South Park episode that skewers the American political system. In it the school must vote for a new mascot, either a giant douche or a turd sandwich. It's pretty funny watching the debate between the two mascots and of course the point is that often the choice between democrats and republicans is no choice at all.

I opined that the analogy wasn't quite right. For me it was more like a sea urchin roll (the Democrats) vs. a turd sandwich (the Republicans). I can recognize the sea urchin as food, but I'd only choke it down if I had nothing else to eat. The turd sandwich I would not eat under any circumstances.

Tired of Spineless Pussies

When Lyndon Johnson went ahead with civil rights legislation, he famously said that it would lose the Democrats the South for a generation and if anything he underestimated the impact. He went ahead though because passing civil rights legislation was the right thing to do and it was long, long overdue. Today’s Democrat’s would never have the balls to do something like that, which indicates that they have no idea why it is that there were able to take over Congress. I am tired of watching these spineless pussies pretend that they are any kind of opposition party. They are so worried about looking weak on terrorism or weak on law and order that they continue to capitulate as the Bushies wipe their asses with the Constitution.

Hint to clueless Democrats: capitulation to bullying does not make you look strong. Actual defiance does. Maybe you should try it some time.
