What I know about West Virginia

Thu May 22, 2008 at 10:00:41 AM PDT

Not much. I'm the first to admit it, but what I do know, I need to share and I hope you'll bear with me.

I don't write many diaries, and this won't be long, but here goes:

My first experience with West Virginia was via West Virginians. I was in the Army in the eighties, stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. I only knew two guys from West Virginia and to look at them, you would think they were brothers. Pale and strikingly similar features; one the much older version of the other. They insisted they weren't related, which only made it more funny to me since that made easier all the inbred jokes I could muster...

With all the hoopla going, I thought it would be nice to have a little photo essay:

Soldiers Uneducated?

Wed Nov 01, 2006 at 09:56:34 AM PDT

Yeah. I'd say so.

But I'll also say this: All Americans are uneducated. Or better put "Less" educated. As a Nation we are less educated than our industrialized peers, less educated than ourselves from 20 years ago.

Fuck Tweety!

I'm sorry. I know we're supposed to have somthing more substantive to say, but the Hardball special they are advertising on MSGOP is "Picking the Next President"

??!! WTF? Shouldn't they at least feign at being objective and call it "Picking the next Republican Candidate for President"?

Tweety, how does Melman's nutsack taste?

Does the Republican Party actually exist?

Wed Feb 08, 2006 at 12:26:32 PM PDT

If this were a European country, the disparate groups that make up the current GOP would not be together except under a parliamentary coalition. Here, astoundingly, they are under a single party.

Now the spin is that the GOP is a "Big Tent" party and draw a "diverse" array of people. The truth is that the "Big Sign" outside the "Big Tent" reads: "Welcome all single issue voters, corporate fascists, no-tax libertarians and racists. Free beer and pandering. Temporarily out of beer."

Based on the above lie, they claim nearly half the electorate and the american mainstream.

I don't see it this way, and I'm sure neither do you. It's a mandate of loose change from couch cushions.

Karl and the RNC are now spinning out of control.
ABC Presidential confidant Karl Rove testified to a grand jury that he learned the identity of a CIA operative originally from journalists, then informally discussed the information with a Time magazine reporter days before the story broke, according to a person briefed on the testimony.
So here's a new writing contest. Submit your entries of alternate spin for Karl, who is apparently having problems...
