The election season is far too long. Every minute of this tedious pageant is filled with relentless microanalysis of the latest minutiae. No nuance is too small for the CNN impresario Wolf Blitzer or the goon squad at Fox News to dwell in an endless vortex of speculation and rhetorical webspinning.
Fox News in particular is incredibly brazen in its rightwing bent. Most hotels in which I have stayed recently favor this news source with a prominent spot on the channel selection. The pretense of neutrality is long gone. They are the Republican Broadcasting Network and have the same saccharin evangelical flavor as Pat Robertsons cable freakshow. What liberal media? Hollywood? Please. Hollywood is just another kind of freakshow with better costumes.
I can see how countries devolve into unstable conditions where deep ideological differences disrupt the peace and lead to open conflict. I’d be in favor of secession of a few states if these rightwing boneheads wanted their own country. Just keep an eye on the nukes. There is deep frustration in this country and the only thing keeping angry mobs off the streets is relative prosperity.
Republican control is only paper thin. After the ’08 election, Democrat control will only be paper thin. The only thing that has happened in the Clinton and Bush II epochs is that both conservatives and liberals have become more articulate in their opposing positions.
Now I’m microanalyzing. It’s like a disease.

It is incompetent fascists, corporatists, and double-digit IQ christ-besotted jackasses against bleeding heart Liberals, welfare pimps, Enviro-whiners, feminazis, and Queer Nation. Choose wisely.
With Nader in the stew it is two of three major candidates being of Muslim state origin. Imagine Vladimir Putin’s chagrin at KGB-scale goals achieved with lunch money inputs. Shall we decry Darwin, Malthus, Marx… or Charles Dickens’ Bill Sikes and William M. “Boss” Tweed?
“I’d be in favor of secession of a few states if these rightwing boneheads wanted their own country.”
It could be workable, but alas America no longer exists. We reside in an assembly of corporate states.

I noticed that about hotels and lobby’s around the country. I hate it. I think I should start shutting them off the next time I see one. This should be a campaign, just shut off your tv and see what happens.
How would we get that kind of message out the best? Oh wait… probably the TV… damn.
Lets not forget the United states of Focasyn and Valium.
