Michael J. Fox shouldn't vote for a cure.

Yes, its true, MJF wants a cure The risk, Jamieson adds, is that the ads could appear as using Fox's hopes for a cure for political gain, as some claimed was the case when the paralyzed actor Christopher Reeve lobbied for stem cell research before his death in 2004 I'm sorry, exactly why shouldn't I vote based on my hopes and dreams? Why shouldn't politics give me those dreams?

Rush Limbaugh Smacks Michael J. Fox

This goes a bit much even for Rushie: Limbaugh mocks Michael J. Fox political ad, says lying about Parkinsons He is exaggerating the effects of the disease," Limbaugh told listeners. "He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. . . . This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting." but this is, hands down, the best part: Now people are telling me they have seen Michael J. Fox in interviews and he does appear the same way in the interviews as he does in this commercial", Limbaugh said, according to a transcript on his Web site. "All right then, I stand corrected. . . . So I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong, and I will apologize to Michael J. Fox, if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act." (emphasis mine) Question: why is admitting you are wrong about mocking a person for faking a chronic disease 'big' or 'huge'? Isn't that like saying you are magnanimous for apologizing after making a holocaust joke?

Democrats Photoshop Soldier

DNC photoshops a soldier for their website I am so fucking pissed about this. Not because its wrong of the dems to photoshop a canadian soldier into an image that they can use (cause, really, the website of any party is an advertizement...propaganda...). I'm pissed because they thought they could get away with it. Has anyone mentioned to these people that there's a metric gazillion 'bloggers' (yes, bloggers do things other than write meaningless rants and beg for traffic) out there who look for exactly this kind of thing? Have you not noticed the online war between bloggers of the left and right and how both groups are not completely unlike vultures, or, better yet, sharks with blood in the water? Of course, this is just a little tidbit on the massive pile of disappointment the democratic party has dished out. Someday...maybe...they'll realize that if they stopped spending so much time trying to sell themselves, trying to win elections, and started acting like, say, Bill Clinton on that Fox interview, they'll turn the Republicans into porriage.

Abortion caused Columbine

I really do feel bad for this guy He did nothign wrong and lost his son. I can't blame him for looking for some kind of reason, something to blame. What I find most flawed though is this: This country is in a moral free-fall. For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum, expelling God from the school and from the government, replacing him with evolution, where the strong kill the weak, without moral consequences and life has no inherent value. 1) He's not talking about morality. He's talking about HIS morality. Last time I checked, for example, the majority of the country was pro-choice, though perhaps not by much. If nothing else, this brings into question where this falls in 'morality; 2) If the school chooses the 'wrong' morality, if, say, it goes with a protestant rather than catholic morality (and make no mistake here...he's talking about christian morality), parents go psychotic. 3) Isn't it the role of parents to pass on morality? I mean, exactly how little responsibility do parents want to have? They don't want schools to teach about sex, but they don't want to teach about sex either. They only want schools to teach THEIR particular morals, but go bloody insane if anything else is taught. Not for nothing, btw, but his version of 'moral consequences' is basically a supernatural version of an ass-whooping. Having grown up with many kids who got many ass-whoopings, I can tell you that threats and punishments are NOT foolproof guides to control. Seriously...I grew up with violent TV. I grew up with violent video games. I grew up with a morally neutral school system. Y'know something? I have never...ever...shot anyone. I've rarely even hit anyone. Know why? My parents taught me right from wrong. The problem is that parents don't seem particularly interested in doing that sort of thing these days. Why? Because people are becoming parents who shouldn't be parents. Because people have to work two jobs to make ends meet which means they can't be there for their kids. School can't raise your kids for you. If you don't want to do that, then keep your legs crossed and a condom on. The state can't raise your kids for you and keep them from being dangerously psychotic. But the state could, say, make sure the kids couldn't get enough firearms for a SWAT team.

Rice was briefed by Tenet

BushCo: Rice was briefed by Tenet. A review of White House records has determined that George J. Tenet, then the director of central intelligence, did brief Condoleezza Rice and other top officials on July 10, 2001, about the looming threat from Al Qaeda, a State Department spokesman said Monday. Ah, Ms. Rice, does that mean you are responsible for allowing this entire nightmare to happen? If so, and you answer to...well, you know... Does that mean THEY are responsible?

Trent Lott on Iraq

Thanks to Majikthise by way of Kung Fu Monkey "No, none of that," Lott told reporters after the session when asked if the Iraq war was discussed. "You're the only ones who obsess on that. We don't and the real people out in the real world don't for the most part." Tags:Trent Lott Iraq
