DNC Chairman Candidates Focus on South.. Sure...
Sun Jan 09, 2005 at 11:15:43 AM PDT
COLLEGE PARK, Ga. - Seven candidates for chairman of the Democratic National Committee promised Saturday to address the concerns of Southern voters, saying they had learned the lessons of the past two elections.
It's amazing that it took another ass whupping (right, I know that we 'almost' won, and that means a whole lot, considering the disadvantages, etc, etc.) and another two months for the Democratic elite to condescend to facing the people of the South. Check back to the diaries and comments of the summer, and you will see that plenty of us were shouting at y'all for disregarding the South and for Kerry's playing it safe in a few comfortable states; it's a shame that they again refused to take us ignorant, backwards southerners seriously when they had a chance. When Dr. Dean bought up the issue of guys in pick ups with Confederate flags, he was torn and new one, and the Democrat establishment who never had to think twice about, say, M-to-M busing were falling over themselves to be the first ones to express affected indignation over his comments. Dean was right then, and he is right now.

Antonin Scalia encourages orgies.
Fri Oct 01, 2004 at 07:22:49 PM PDT
I'm not saying anything for or against orgies, but I am against orgies with Antonin Scalia. Ick.
But it turns out that there is another side to Justice Antonin Scalia: he thinks Americans ought to be having more orgies.
Challenged about his views on sexual morality, Justice Scalia surprised his audience at Harvard University, telling them: "I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."
