Paragraph Two

Whatever pops into my head today -- usually something that I hope is interesting. At least to me.

To David Brooks, Editorial Writer for the New York Times

Dear Mr. Brooks:

Just when I think you’re starting to make progress…

BAM! You write some op-ed piece that is straight, unrepentant garbage, pure and simple.

I really don’t understand you. You write an article that implies – no, not implies – says directly – that social conservatives and liberals both have flawed arguments regarding the Terri Schiavo matter.

You state that social conservatives (whatever the hell that means, anyway) have a belief that life is more sacred than liberals and that liberals tend to go right to the unmiraculous court of law.

What in God’s name are you talking about?

These kinds of gross generalizations come off as empty-headed and would play better to the bohunks in Idaho. How did you get this job, Dave?

I’m a liberal. I also believe in God, the Universe, or whatever you want to call it.

I also believe that the government has no right to interfere in our personal lives, which is what Tom “Crooked as they Come” Delay and George “W Stands for Worst President Ever” Bush are slowly, but surely trying to do.

People tend to be more abstract and non-specific than your articles would have us presume.

With people like you writing for the New York Times, where does anyone get off calling the media “liberal?”

Good God, man! that is straight, unrepentant garbage, pure and simple.

Terri Schiavo

These right-wingers are scaring me. They really are.

The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they created three separate branches of government:

The Executive
The Legislative
The Judiciary -- which is INDEPENDENT!

Now, the Congress and the Executive Branches, which pretty much rule the world, are trying to take over the Judiciary.

It disgusts me.

Who the hell do these people think they are? They think they value life more than a liberal does? Throwing sanctimonious Christian outpourings out there saying that they see life as a miracle and we see life as chemical?

I believe in God.

I also believe in separation of Church and State.

George Bush can fly from Texas to Washington on a moment's notice, but he can't walk outside his house to pay sympathy to tsunami victims.

Of the people, by the people and for the people.

Not for your rich corporations.

The Terri Schiavo Mess

Far be it from me to complain about the way the United States government is run.
Far be it.

Our country is doing everything perfectly.

Just perfect.

What's up with this Terri Schiavo mess? Can it be that the rightwing nut jobs are using this poor woman's ordeal to further their own agenda, which is solely getting power for power's sake?

I think so.

This is just sickening. It's All Terri, All the Time. I can't watch the news. I can't read the newspapers. There are far too many good and wonderful things in life that I'd like to pay attention to.

Watching Jeb Bush and Bill Frist trying to position themselves to gain a step up for the Presidential election in 2008 is terrible.

Ugh.
