So I was reading through the comments on this "Rebuild the Party" website, as I'm genuinely curious and perhaps a bit hopeful that something new, strong and most importantly admirable (by MANY, not just the ReFUNDIEcans....) will rise from the ashes of the last eight years, in terms of a political party that embraced the actual tenets of CONSERVATISM and perhaps throttled down some on the Goddy-God-Jesusifying Light Brigade, Rah, Rah, USA! USA! stuff.
Some of the comments on the site form the evidentiary basis for a stark lesson on how to completely a) lose an election (bigtime) and b) destroy a political party.
1. Keep flinging around "librul!!!!" in a pejorative manner! Insulting a huge cross-section of the population, while also employing #2, is a vortex of suck the size of Greenland. That's a continent for you die-hard "mavericks". Instead, call them "Commies"!
2. Adhere to an unyielding sentiment of anti-intellectualism. Because yessiree, being a TARD is just sooooo awesome! It's a truly bankable plan! I suppose it does have it's merits though, you know, for those times when you just don't feel like explaining anything to the dimwits, but you do totally want to pump them full of catchy, empty, virtually meaningless slogans and tell them they're dirty heathen liberal commies if they don't vote for you. Yay dumb!
3. Completely and totally obfuscate the line between church and state, and remember, if someone doesn't love Your Own Personal Brand of Jesus, they must be satan-worshipping, abortion-mandating, baby-eating demons from the pits of hell, right? You betcha! (This one works best in tandem with #4).
4. Low on toilet-paper? Fear not, the Constitution of the United States is here to save you! That's right, get in there real good with that boring old piece of parchment paper. Those Goddamned Libruls encourage everyone to run around naked, on drugs, having wanton sexual escapades with donkeys and multiple partners, while eating birth control pills that they got for free at the local MSNBMedical Clinic!! Take away as many of these utterly blasphemous rights as you can! People are stupid and shouldn't be allowed to do anything. At all! Ever!!
5. Absolutely NEVER stray from your time-tested methods!! Adhere strictly to the old-line tenets (brought to you by those nice churchy folks who hate you, because Jesus told them to - quite a fan of the hate, that wacky Jesus was! Right?) and just work harder at it!! Just try harder using the old and busted selection of tools and tactics - and just pray really, really, really hard that all those pinko sluts will soon be smote for their wicked ways (and also, too, all the ways they differ from you! And from Jesus!). To recap, brown people, heathens, homos, crackies, muslims, jooz, et al. are to remain ostracized from our cabal by our exclusionary, dogmatic, ignorant platform! Only the holiest, most pious, Jesus Loving!! people should be viewed as actual people. Viewing the aforementioned list of undesirables as people (shudder!) is sick and wrong and makes baby Jesus cry.

I'm famous! Again!
So, once again, I've made the paper for my long-standing indenture to the DownEaster train! yay!
Glad they didn't put a horrible pic of me in there, and glad they *did* use my patented (tm) line "it's like a bar, if jails had bars" line!
Read all about it here!
oh, and p.s. "Larry" (who said " Sounds great except for the fact it is LOSING MONEY!"), darlin, Amtrak NEVER turns a profit. That's why regular shmoes like me / we can still afford to ride it. (eyeroll)

Shiny Metal Box: The Chronic
Hi outlandischers! Here I am, reporting from (where else?) the shiny metal box I spend 3 hours a day in. Oh, it's terribly fun! It's Friday night - and you know what that means! Yep! We, the passriders, are herded like cattle into one car (surprisingly, not the baggage car - though you never know), where we are subject to the slings and arrows of both newbie pass riders and interlopers (as I call them) as they try in vain to argue their lame-assed premises - loudly, rudely, angrily - in the conductor's face. Honestly, how much friggin' common sense does it take to fathom that if you see the same people every stinking day, you would be well advised to try t0 dial down your Dewsh quotient. Durrrrrr. And yet, week in and week out, some harpie biatch takes it upon herself to get all shrieky on the regular friday night guy (who takes no shit) thinking it's going to get her somewhere other than stuffed in a f*kckin' luggage rack or worse, locked in the stank-assed pee-soaked latrine. Don't I wish.
Anyway, it's almost 6pm and we're almost in Haverhell, so I'm gonna go get a beeyah or some other form of libation and hit you biatches up lata on, perhaps.

Rest in peace, Madelyn Dunham.
Read this first.
Then wonder, how long will it take McFail to try to use this to their advantage? OMG, that was a political trick! To try to play the sympathy card!.
yeah, that's how he comes off, that McFail. Sad but true.

Is it just me, or does everything that comes out of that guy's mouth make you squrim as well? He's so very disingenuous. "Drill baby Drill"? For REAL!?!? I just don't get it. The way to achieve independence from foreign oil (read: scary brown people who hate us) is NAWT to fuckin' just try to find MORE OIL on our own soil. JESUS CHRIST! I'm so far from a scientist it's not even funny, but OMG - the way to get off oil (which should just fuckin' HAPPEN already - not becuase I'm a commie pinko piece of shiat, but becuase it's fucking TIME already, WTF?!?!??!) is NOT to just find more oil. It's to (HELLOOOOOOOHHHH) develop technologies that a) achieve our objectives and b) do not use OIL, DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Do we still use the mighty, glorious IBM selectric? Sure, like 2 or 3 of us who write novels that we hope to someday sell, and we think it's fuckin' rad and old school and crazy to write a novel on an electric typewriter....But by and large, do I go to work and prepare patent applications, forms, etc. with a fuckin' typewriter? oh HELLLS NO!~!! (unless the power is out and I'm at work and something absolutely, positively has to get done and out - but you know, in 7 years of doing this crap, that has NEVER. Happened. Not. Once. (Course there was this one week where nothing worked - we were completely shut off from the electronic age by some virus, blah blah blah..)
Sorry - total ADD moment. Must eat now. Completely ready to fall asleep, haven't eaten today. Yargh.

Hi I'm back. John McCain ANNOYS THE SHIAT OUT OF ME. "My friends"? "Straight talk"??? Your vote for McCain is a vote AGAINST everything, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING that this nation allegedly stands for. Your vote for McCain is a vote for a continuation of the ABJECT FAIL that embodies the entire "Bush" regime (in quote becuase there is NO WAY Bush was running anything - no fuckin' way).
Dear Lord, little baby jesus, 6 pounds, 4 ounces, in your golden fleece diaper, asleep in your manger....PLEASE SMITE THE DINOSAUR THAT IS THE GOP!
The GOP makes me utterly SICK because they have hijacked / co-opted the easiest pickin's on the FACE of the planet - the FUNDIES. There exists NO more maleable / promptable / coercible group than the fundies. These are people who share a mindset where they believe the fucking retarded garbage sent to them in forwarded emails. Girls should STFU and pump out babies and anyone who differs from this course is a dirty fucking heathen who is going to BURN IN HELL!!
They are the people who profess to be so much fucking holier than thou, and they just LOOOOOVES their Jeebus, but yet they despise the: gays / blacks / browns / chinks / gooks / homos / trannies / beige people / people other than the people that fellate their brand of Jeebus / muslims / queers / fags / (insert fuckin' hate-filled N word here - sorry, I have my fuckin' limits) / whores / crackies / lemmings / bevis / butthead / that (insert slang term for lesbian here) talk show host. THIS is why you nauseate me, McFAIL voters. And you know who you are. And I don't mean EVERY SINGLE PERSON who votes for McFail. I just mean YOU. You, who clings to your choice of diety, but picks and chooses what you believe / adhere to / live. You, who won't shut the FUCK UP about your Xtianity, already, but hates them fags / n*ggers / etc., and OMG those fuckin' BROWN PEOPLE with the turbans!! OH Holy SHIT are they sinners who will burn in hell!!! OH YES YES YEAS!!!!! Halleluiah!
It's abhorrent, what you do. It offends every functional axon / dendrite pair in my fucking BRAIN that you cannot see the hypocracy inherent in / imbued in your cult.
YuckkkkkK!!!!

I've waited nearly thirty years for this.
A message for Kristol, Cheney, Perle, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Libby, and the other PNAC wackos who hi-jacked the Republican party:
It's over. Your plans for hegemony and full spectrum dominance, far from strengthening America, have almost destroyed her as an international force for good.
Likewise Rove:
The game's up. You can't fool all the people all the time with the politics of fear and smear, and the ruthless waging of culture wars.
Idem Milton Friedman (deceased) and the Chicago boys:
Your snake oil economic theories have been exposed for what they are: as a toxic mix of ideology and false accounting that benefits only the ultra rich.
Let us fervently hope that this massive defeat will consign you all to the dustbin of history.
To the American electorate:
Good job, and a great day for Uncle Sam's fair land.
wv: weerro how Neo-cons will be feeling tomorrow"
