Pity the previous president. His sycophants are already forgetting the high point of his reign, besides T-Ball... Ok, there was the 9/11 thing but that happened only 9 months and change after inauguration, so what the hell? And then there was the anthrax stuff, but what the hell; bio-terrorism doesn't really count, does it?
I've been wanting to write something about the Senate vote on health care but I'm finding I really am unmotivated about it. I tried to rise to a level of indignation over Beckenbaugh's comparison of Mary Landrau to a whore, but shit, she's a politician from Louisiana. At least she's only a metaphorical whore, although her family has been kingmakers in Louisiana since before the Kingfish himself and Jimmy Rogers. She comes from a long line of whores and pimps and thieves and such. However, her vote counts. And, she'll get something for it. All Davvy Vitter will bring back to the Bayou is going to be a paper bag over his head and several bails of Pampers.
Back to Landrau and Glrush Beckenbaugh. In a state where finding a Mojo woman who'll take food stamps is what counts as health care, a few more free clinics in the outlying areas and the arrival of a van with vitamins for rickets and pellagra and pills for intestinal worms will be really popular. I'm not sure I see how this works out, but I keep thinking about the Churchill line, when a woman at a party told him he was drunk. " Yes, and you are ugly. Tomorrow, I'll be sober, and you'll still be ugly."
But, back to the lead. Dana Perino or Perrino or Perrier or whatever her name is not only hasn't taken her husband's name, maybe because he's British. And thus, either a football hooligan or an illegal alien. Or gay. Or all three. Probably in the Taliban. She is not following the Wingnut way, the whole subservient to man thing. Of course, according to Wikki, she hasn't bred yet, which is a good thing. I was wondering where she went to school, and while I nothing nothing at all about her undergraduate school which has rebranded itself as something else, she has a Masters. In Communications. From a real school in a real state. Granted, she's originally from Wyoming, but she grew up in Colorado. She has no excuse for being this goddamn dumb.
only an ignorant person would use the word retarded. trust me, it doesn't help you in the cool department either. quite the opposite.

Possibly. However, I was under the impression that the correct term for the developmentally disabled was...developmentally disabled.
I am, of course, a creature of my time and class. Possibly low class; possibly old times. I'd like to apologize but since I knowingly chose the word expecting some sort of similar reaction from someone, I guess I can't.
Anybody who comments on coolness of a blogger in their blog is marginally cooler than writing a blog about it. So, you're cooler than most of the gang at a number of politically correct blogs. I'm particularly impressed by how well you skipped over the substance of the post and focused on the title. Notice that I was sort of marginally endorsing the Mary Landrau slander by Beckenbaugh. That seemed to not be a problem for you.
OK then. How do you feel about the word cunt?
