It's the "Fourteen things Republican should never say", the appendix from Frank Luntz's GOP playbook that was leaked here a little more than a week ago. RawStory, BuzzFlash, BreakForNews, and the Morning Sedition all thought it was newsworthy enough to link it up and get it out there for discussion, but not the MSM?
Why do they suck so badly, I wonder? Why do they bury things that are so important to the realities of living in Chimp's America?
Well, I went and saw Granny D this weekend, and I am very happy to report she is doing well, and is recovering at a pace that would be impressive for a woman on thirty, never mind a woman who just turned 95 this last January.
I am sad to report that Granny D Haddock is currently in the hospital in her home state of New Hampshire, undergoing surgery for a tumor in her throat.
The surgery is expected to take her speaking voice, but she swears she will find other ways to make her message heard.
Doris Haddock is a friend to me, and my personal hero. I am saddened by this turn of events, but Doris is a fighter. She has said that "sometimes, you make a difference just by standing there."
At 95 years old, she is an inspiration to many people who believe the government should be good, fair, and for the people.
Let's all hope for her speedy recovery and long life.
Today, January 24th 2005, is a very special day. Doris Granny D Haddock turns ninety-five today.
Doris Haddock is a spry and lithe woman for 95, a true athlete if ever there was one. You may look twice at that, and wonder why I say she's a true athlete. I would advise you to never confuse age with infirmity. The two often correlate, but they are very, very different.
You know, I had one of those days. You know, a humdrum Saturday afternoon, trying to figure out why the hell my truck wouldn't start kind of thing.
Luckily president Fuck-up was there to brighten up my day. You see, as a whiny liberal, I must have something to complain about every day. Thankfully, the moron who masquerades as a world leader leaves me with little to complain about in the way of finding something to complain about. Or something like that.
You know, some things just irritate me. Misrepresenting religion, stealing elections, things like that.
Near the top of the list of things that irritate me are those kids on the playground when I was a kid, the kid who brought the ball to school and said no one else could play with it. "It's my ball!" they would scream, regardless of the fact that they needed someone else to help them play with it.
I am writing to tell you something very simple, and I will attempt to use smallish words for your benefit, as I understand you are currently beginning your second term, and have very little time to learn to read. I've been busy before, so I can understand that.
You know what I'm tired of? I'm tired of people accusing us of thinking we're smarter than they are because we're liberals. I'm tired of them constantly throwing around the words "Liberal Elite" as if it actually meant something. Most of all, I'm tired of them talking about intelligence like it's a bad thing, constantly using it to malign people who are, generally speaking, actually smarter than they are.
So I'm just going to come out and say it. Yeah, we're smarter than these neo-con trash bags. Why are we smarter than they are? Well gee, let me count the ways.

We aren't trying to change the results, necessarily, just to get the word out about how much is wrong with the current system. We've logged several states already, with more coming every day.
When we're finished, we'll package it up in a nice, long pdf and make it available to everyone.
