Some guy on Kos is torqued about something or other.
In solidarity, the Mighty Netroots will be restricted to a 23-letter alphabet until further notice.

Slightly higher production values than my "Fuck you, Ralph!"

Attention Whores in the News
Living saint Cindy Sheehan joined Party of Slavery member Dennis Kucinich in a march to the Bush compound in Kennebunkport, Maine. "President" Bush, of course, was at his own pigfarm near Crawford, Texas, but the weather is so much nicer in Maine this time of year.
The actual Bush-in-residence at Kennebunkport, former President George Herbert Walker Mifflin Stanley Porter Davis Bush, greeted the peaceniks with a request that they get the hell off of his lawn.

The man without a country
Sister Ruth called a week or so ago to warn against falling asleep with CNN on. Apparently she woke up and there was President Poopyhead blathering away like he does to one of those crowds pre-screened to exclude anyone who might notice that the emperor is not only naked, but speaking gibberish to boot. It got me to wondering about what life is going to be like for Bush after that glorious day that three-quarters of America is longing for, the day he moves out of the White House. The day he no longer lives in the Potemkin village where he is universally loved, when he finally comes within shouting distance of those of us who've endured his reign like an eight-year bout of the stomach flu. Welcome back to the Reality-Based World, George!
Some presidents spend their retirements playing golf. Some continue in public service of one sort or another. America's original tyrant, George III descended into madness, went blind and deaf in his old age. Still nominally King of England, he lived on, unaware as Napoleon Bonaparte conquered most of Europe and lost it as well. What will the future hold for our King George? I like to think he'll end up like Howard Hughes did, holed up in a hotel room somewhere. Wearing Kleenex boxes over his shoes. A fridge full of mayonnaise jars of his own pee.

Look at me! Look at me! Look at meeeeeee!!!!
Someone once said that the key to understanding Republican spokesmodel Ann Coulter was that she suffered from a form of Attention Deficit Disorder: she hates it when no one is paying attention to her. Sad to say, Living Saint Cindy Sheehan seems to have confirmed that she is a fellow afflictee.
You may recall her Memorial Day tantrum, when she first announced ahe was sick of the peace movement and retiring to her home, which escalated into an angry announcement that she was "leaving" the Democratic Party. (Which I think would be akin to me saying I've given up flying to Paris on the Concorde for lunch.) And of course that retirement was followed by making the rounds of liberal and disident radio shows, including Sheehan's revelation that, as a structural engineer, some of the events of 9/11 seemed fishy to her.
As it happened, Cindy's "retirement" lasted only a little longer than Paris Hilton's sojourn in the slammer. In the wake of Popo's personal amnesty for justice obstructor Scooty Libby, Sheehan announced her return to the political arena with an email that revealed (1) she was pissed and (2) she no longer believed in paragraph breaks.
That, however, was the teaser for her big "look at me!" moment, issuing a threat to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that unless impeachment is underway by the time Sheehan's traveling roadshow rolls into Washington on July 23, she would run as an independent against Pelosi in 2008. She amplified her feelings in a diary on Daily Kos:
Well, the cat got out of the bag early as they so often will do. I was going to announce on July 10th (my 50th birthday) before our Journey for Humanity that I would run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) if she didn’t put impeachment back on the table before our tour reached DC on July 23rd. Impeachment was never hers to take off the table as it is a Constitutional remedy for BushCo, not an optional smorgasbord choice. However, the story was leaked to the AP and we couldn’t keep the big announcement under wrap
Yeah, well Cindy, when you tell everyone at your big Cindy Sheehan Is Going Away Forever Festival about your plans, it's no surprise that word gets out, since people have cell phones and internets and stuff.
The feedback I have been receiving since then has been about three to one positive and supportive.
Of course, that was before people started commenting on the diary, back when she was talking mostly to people who've mistaken her for Gandhi, or maybe Chauncey the Gardener. But lest she leave anyone unsure where she stands...
The Democrats are the party of slavery and were the party that started every war in the 20th Century except the other Bush debacle. The Federal Reserve, permanent federal (and unconstitutional) income taxes, Japanese Concentration Camps and, not one, but two atom bombs dropped on the innocent citizens of Japan were brought to us via the Democrats.
That's right, Cindy, there's been no realignment in American political parties in the last century and a half. And who could ever forgive Woodrow Wilson for invading Belgium and sinking the Lusitania, Franklin Roosevelt for attacking Poland and bombing Pearl Harbor, or Harry Truman for sending his army south across the 38th Parallel? In fact, the Democrats are so damned evil I'm surprised she dadn't just switch to the GOP.
Of course, Cindy, if you think the income tax is unconstitutional, you might want to take a little break from the black helicopters crowd and read the 16th Amendment sometime. Just sayin'.
I know that some people will read this and accuse me of saying awful things about Cindy, "who has gone through so much." Well, lots of people go through a lot. That doesn't give them license to go batshit insane. And Sheehan needs therapy, not more applause. For your own good, Cindy, and the good of the cause of peace. chill out, get some help, and quit acting like a lunatic.
