Shootin’ Thru The ‘Tubes
Open season.
I’m starved for ideas so here’s what’s Shootin’ Thru The ‘Tubes:
It must be Huck season because everyone seems to be gunning for the former Gov, which isn’t all that surprising given his rise in the polls of late. But what exactly does his rise mean? Is he truly the easy target candidate the Dems wish to run against, as he who rules our world alleges? Is he a flash in the pan or will he go the distance? Perhaps we may know when the media finally decides to pay more attention to a candidate’s character and less to the cut of their trouser or perfectly coiffed, though not too expensive, hairdo.
Then again, maybe keeping us uninformed about what things that really matter is their way of keeping the populace depression free. Ignorance may be bliss but when it comes to voting on who will be the next leader of the free world, learning a thing or two about how they may govern goes along way.
If only we’d taken such to heart prior to the last couple of elections. With the myriad of scandals seeping from the Bush White House, it’s nice to get a refresher course from time to time.
Speaking of which, looks like Christmas isn’t coming early for Scooter Libby, as his gift from The Decider seems to have gotten lost in the mail. But hey, there’s always next year.

I like this:
“Asked which candidate best reflects the core values of the Republican Party, 18 percent said McCain, Giuliani and Huckabee were each cited by 16 percent, 14 percent picked Romney, and 13 percent named Thompson. As if to punctuate the confusion, 16 percent said they had no opinion.”
McCain’s my man, and boy could he administer a whoopin’ to Shrillery!
I like that information also, Americaneocon. It shows that the Republican Party core values are about as diffuse and unrecognizable as possible.
i feel like i have a deep responsibility to stay well informed, perhaps to counteract the ones who don’t. i used to kinda excuse people thinking they had to work so hard to scrape by they couldn’t take the time to keep up with all the crap going on in the world. but no more. now i partially blame them for the mess we’re in. no one has the right in this day and age to plead ignorance.
that said, i have way too much of the world in my head. and i am depressed as hell about it.
