Those pathetic fucks: Rough draft- might get rougher.

They can't prosecute Enron for destroying thousands of retirement accounts, swindling entire states. They can't convict Andersen for cooperating with them. They can't do anything successfully when it's worthwhile, but those pathetic fucks sure know how to put a damper on culture.

Some things should be free, or at least public. But have you seen any deliberate attempt to protect municipal water supplies, even though they're listed as top terror threats? Well, the Republican leadership (and maybe some Democrats) don't want public water. They don't want to pay for it unless it helps their religious wackjob consituency (not the voters- you don't have money) achieve their goal of continental domination.

If it advocates appreciation for diversity, if it criticizes powerful positions, if it doesn't beat the drum for marching neo-Christianics, there's no room for it. Is that the argument? Or is it more a case of simple resentment of the critical unbiased reporting? Is it because Cookie Monster is Blue and Bert and Ernie live together?

If our leaders reclaimed 10% of the money simply lost by Halliburton in Iraq, a few decades of Clifford the Big Red Dog would help children learn about getting along with the other dogs. I want every leader in Congress drawn and quartered, but I'll settle for their financial ruin if it means their spouses and children turn to drugs and prostitution.

This isn't what Christians do. This is what the Nazis, the Communists and the Islamists have done. Sesame Street. Really.

If you're a Republican, you probably didn't get this far. You should be ashamed of yourself, at least enough to write your representative or senator. At least enough to vote America back. I'm not interested in making a rational appeal for calm and sober reconsideration. This is an emotional issue- HOW BAD ARE THESE REPUBLICANS? How bad can a human be? Empowered by religion, they descend into Lord of the Flies, demanding restrictions on their behavior, but if their mothers weren't evil they would be able to control themselves. But they are, so they can't.
