(Excerpt): But here is the truth: If you believe in universal, single-payer healthcare and that campaign finance and electronic voting are corrupt; if you hate the Patriot Act and believe it erodes civil rights; if you believe that gay people should have the same rights as straight people, that America should rejoin the Kyoto Protocol and take steps to halt global warming, that we should invest in alternative fuel sources, that our water and air need to be protected from pollution and overuse, that the government should reduce the amount of money it spends on war and instead work to improve the country’s education system, and that going to war in Iraq was a terrible and tragic mistake, then you are that guy playing air guitar, and he is you.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt. It’s time to come clean and admit that we are a Dennis Kucinich-loving party trapped in Hillary Clinton-supporting bodies.

This was a fun article to read..

  1. Yes, I love Dennis Kucinich because he’s trying to stop Darth Cheney and his evil plan of destroying America.

    This link is about how our veterans are faring.

    Something to think about this weekend.

  3. I think I love him for standing up for the Constitution (a copy that he carries in his pocket), and he seems one of the only members who is willing to stand up and fight for it – whether it is popular or not, because it is his duty. He is also one of the few people in Congress who is actually LISTENING to the American people right now and willing to put them before his own interests, the special interests, corporations, the military industrial complex, this rogue administration, and the global elitists. He is fighting for all the right things while swimming against the current.
    Not an easy thing to do. It may not get him the presidency, it may not get Cheney impeached (though it should), but it will sure garner a lot of respect from the ones that count – Americans.

  6. If anything destroys America it will be the stock market fraudsters sucking the life out of the middle class with its FED backed welfare schemes.

  37. I have never found happiness thru material possessions nor exquisitely named foods. A drive thru the country, walking around the block, talking to people. Ya know, happiness is just a complete lack of bias and maybe people should stop trying to find happiness and concentrate on forgetting bias and materialism.

  40. Talk about happiness, it’s the singing polar bear!

    Heh.

    You’re right, Zep. We will never find happiness in material things, and if people are really honest with themselves, and really think about it, they know it.

    Well, dont get me wrong, for example Bush is not a good leader by any means, and I totally disagree with his neokook policies/ideology- but I’m not gonna waste time running around espousing vitriol for the guy. Aint worth it.

  48. Algebra. It’s required. I don’t mind it, it just takes a long time to re-sink in after all these years. Next semester is pre-calculus. Not looking forward to it…

  63. But this reminds me of a story. A 727 has a small oval fuel panel in the center of the fuselage and we had this guy working with us who had this big beer belly and he got his belly stuck coming out of the fuel tank and his feet couldn’t touch the ladder..

    Anyway we see these legs sticking out of the bottom of this airplane just dancing, madly, away. So we called him dancing Bear from then on after getting him unstuck from his predicament

  72. “And is there a statute of limitations for eating posters?”

    All campaign posters must be eaten within 30 days following the most recent election, or otherwise disposed of.

    Special event posters must be devoured within one week of the special event. In the event the event does not occur on the date specified on the posters, the posters need not be consumated within the seven day period, but must be gestated within the appropriately deferred time.

    All other posters must be eaten on a regular basis. Posters not eaten may be left on the curb for routine pick-up.

  74. Great BnF! But I’m afraid your legal expertise probably just makes that bear hungrier. That bears just crazy.

    Consumated? Gestated? Routine pick-up? Where’s Zooey? And where’s your kilt?
