More arguments of the Right's essential moral bankruptcy.

Here we are. It's Friday. Turn the lights down low. Put a little smooth jazz on the hi-fi.

Crack open the Michelob.

Oh man the weekend is upon us and unfortunately this one is jampacked from beginning to end, which means that Monday will arrive and I'll need a break.

I'd like to sit back and play a little acoustic gee-tar, but apparently my family is not too enamored of my singing. Tough luck for them.

I love the idea that Bush claimed he's not "trolling your personal lives" when his latest double super secret invasion of privacy boondoggle was revealed. First the wiretaps go public. Now it's known that the NSA has been collecting millions of phone records from ordinary US citizens. I'm really trying to imagine the scenario if this bullshit had happened under Clinton. Can you imagine what the G-Man (what a fucknut) or Rush "Dr. Feelgood" Limbaugh would be jawing about? In fact, isn't the overzealousness of the federal government (Ruby Ridge and Waco) exactly what set the really really right-wing nutcases off in the first place, leading McVeigh to Oklahoma City?

Actually, Liddy's website scrolls a right wing news ticker (CNS news) that defends the Bush administration's telephone records grab. So much for consistency; the man who claimed that you should shoot for a federal agent's head to avoid their body armor must have seen the light...

Of course, you have to remember that Liddy is really a nutcase. He's a convicted felon who couldn't even manage a burglary properly, inadvertantly (and thankfully) bringing down the Nixon administration. His popularity among the Right obviously points to the Right's affinity for police states and ethics-be-damned, win-at-all-costs mentality.

In an advanced society, this man wouldn't have an audience.
