Chicago Tribune Prints Something Fit to Print????

Hard to believe, but an editorial I actually like, in the Trib!

Maybe that's because Tribune Co.'s own cable news outlet isn't a very big deal, Big Trib can take a shot at the cable news media leaders, CNN, Fox, etc..

In any case, I'll take it.

Constitutional Crisis for Dummies, by Pat Robertson

This is courtesy of The New York Daily News, which evidently suffered through and watched Pat Robertson for half an hour (on Sunday, with George Stephanopolous),

"Over 100 years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that's held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings," Robertson said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

"I think we have controlled Al Qaeda," the 700 Club host said, but warned of "erosion at home" and said judges were creating a "tyranny of oligarchy."

Confronted by Stephanopoulos on his claims that an out-of-control liberal judiciary is the worst threat America has faced in 400 years - worse than Nazi Germany, Japan and the Civil War - Robertson didn't back down.

"Yes, I really believe that," he said. "I think they are destroying the fabric that holds our nation together."

He's right, you know: slavery, The Great Depression, good times with Vietnam, assassinations and impeachments and attempts to pack the Supreme Court, LEGAL AND ENFORCED SLAVERY...all walks in the park for society and system, paling in comparison.

The USA finally faces its greatest test. After 218 years of judges judging left and right, in some judicial pupal state, The Robed Ones have finally emerged to attack us all from their mighty benches, with poison-tipped gavels, to suck our moral blood and replace us with unquestiontioning, pliant zombie replicants. Dear old Pat needn't worry, though; he has been an unthinking, cold-blooded pod person for decades.

I know he's any easy target, but he refuses to go away, so he deserves at least some disbelief and mockery from the rest of us.

Why Can't I Vote For HER?

Immediately change the minimum age for Senator to 13. This sensible young lady is in dire need of a PAC (or Levis 527s, or something) to support her much-needed candidacy; Florida, nay America, needs her brand of leadership and chutzpah.

For example,
"Since you guys are supposedly here for the best interest of me, then wouldn't you all look at that fact that it'd be more dangerous for me to have the baby than to have an abortion?" she asked. [Judge] Alvarez called that "a good point."
She makes many even better points, in the face of Florida DCF's many bad ones. Makes me hate Florida a little less, too, except that she seems to be fighting an uphill battle to begin with, which makes me hate Florida all over again, and I hadn't even finished my sentence.

Read with admiration, displeasure and the alcohol of your choice (70 proof minimum).

The Linking Years

I guess I am entering my blogging adolescence or something...where you realize there is a whole world of other people also doing their shizz and it seems a little hard to keep up with it all and its just so heavy, man...

Which means I am just gonna be like other blogs, and sometimes put some links to interesting bits of whatnot in here. Like this. It tells the tale of a woman who was paid a visit by His Majesty's Secret Service, for putting political statements on cardboard in her front yard.

Hint: said public statements were not in favor of Faith-Based Accounts, Filipersonals, or Flatter Taxes in 8 Minutes. Thankfully, Biggest Brother is on the case in W. Va..

Discuss...

or not.
