Fish and fowl. Pigs. Troughs.

The New Hampshire debates are nothing if not entertaining.

Really, it got a little ugly between the Democrats, still, they stayed germane to the most important issues. They all did well. It’s an excellent field.

Hillary is starting to swing and we like that. Nothing untoward, she just rolled up her sleeves and demonstrated she was ready.

I missed Kucinich and Biden.

The biggest gaff for me was Richardson’s pounding near the base of his mic to emphasize his sluggish and doddering message about his message about being a governor and a two time cabinet apointee.

This guy is cabinet worthy for sure but he’d suck as President. He’s smart and probably very capable but he’d bore me in a bar.

See what I’m saying?

I wonder if all the sudden Edwards is bucking for assistant manager or maybe just using some camaraderie with Obama to pinata Hillary a little. I like this guy. He was interesting and I’m a sucker for his populist rhetoric.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t watch the Republicans. Saw a clip of Guiliani saying that the difference between his party and the Democrats is Democrats want to raise your taxes and he wants to lower them.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

We are in an economic cluster fuck of shitstorm proportions and this absolute dickhead wants to talk about tax cuts. I fucking hate this guy. He and Fred Thompson both (who seems to have gone the way of the Do Do, thankfully), are almost invisible when they turn sideways because they’re constructed entirley of paper.

Never mind that what is being talked about is reversing the cuts given to the wealthy over the last seven years, who’ve gotten wealthier by the way, and finding ways to eliminate the government sponsored drain on the middle class, who are sinking by the way.

Then on Fox tonight I see Huckabee and Romney shoulder to shoulder attempting to out obfuscate each other about…………..

Wait for it.

That’s right.

Fucking taxes.

I really hate these guys.

I picture Napoleon Dynamite slapping his head.

The contrast is so acute, it is simultaneously comic and egregious.

I watched it tonight on CNN and again, somebody had travelled forward in time, observed my reactions and then travelled back to put my impressions in the mouths of CNN talking heads.

Frustrating. Anybody hiring?

Drinks for my friends.

Fuckin Republican debates……HA!

The thing is this. As a species, our history is
fraught with violence. It is positively grotesquely
laden. Laden grotesquely I’m quite positive.

Our last century really has been the first to
highlight that the smarter we become, the less safe we
are.

Our ability to visit death on our fellow humans has
enjoyed a particularly effecient yet bloody and cruel
renaissance in the last hundred years.

What exactly are we doing?

We race our technological prowess along side our
ethical morality every day. Is the end game merely to
see which prevails?

What are we doing?

Ladies and the rest of you, The Republican Party.

I watched over half of the youtube Republican
debates tonight on CNN. I gotta tell ya, they spent
most of that time talking about God, guns, war,
abortion and fags.

Ludicrous.

They didn’t let Ron Paul talk. Frustrating. I want
to hear this guy. He is by far the most compelling.
The rest, to a man, are dickwads.

Format: Good.

Questions: Better than I anticipated. Not saying much.

Performances: Just about everyone of these losers
turned straight into the wind and began pissing. Battle of invalids. Pretty goddamn sad.

And shut up. I’m all too aware that the Democrats
aren’t much better on paper. At least they afford us
enough respect to entertain substantial issues like
the economy, how to get the fuck out of Iraq and talk
to it’s neighbors, saving the
constitution………….you know, the little stuff.

The Republicans look stoopid as they scramble for a base
that has lost it’s mojo and all but abandoned them
anyway. It would be tragic if they all weren’t such
assholes. Instead, it’s kinda funny.

Fred Thompson suffers from delusions of Reaganesque
grandeur. When he turns sideways he disappears. He’s constructed entirely of paper.

Guiliani is fucking skeletor as well as an idiot. Let
me tell you about this fuck. He’s the worst kinda
dangerous because he believes he’s smarter than he is.
He is absent conscience, conviction, compassion and
brains. He is nothing but an opportunist.

I wouldn’t be suprised if Rudy got his ass kicked in High School.

Mike Huckabee seems like he’s real swell. Every
Republican in America is worried about the size of
this sweet man’s honker.

Duncan Hunter is clearly on medication that isn’t
working. Am I out of the loop here? Does he have
some disability? Tourettes? I swear he jerked like
he had gills.

John Mccain has been reduced to a testy little fire
plug. He’s got a modicum of conviction but he
practically cancelled himself out with his passionate
denunciation of torture and then vehement support for
the war. Weird.

Ron Paul actually comported himself well. Smart. He
quite simply has no charisma. This man has no better
chance than Kucinich. Neither fit what we’ve been
sold about what “presidential” is.

What they should do is join forces and go third party.
Neither one or the twain of the two will ever get
elected but this would be the best way to wreak some
wrought. Seriously, Perot split the vote between Bush
Sr. and Clinton. If that crazy little bastard can get
that far……….

There will never be a realistic third party candidate
in this country until we have zero bullshit campaign
finance reform and forego the nonsense of an electoral
college.

But these two could do some damage. Now’s the time.
Major combat operations are over. How many debates
are left? Time to hold hands and do a Butch &
Sundance.

“Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down”

See what I’m saying?

HA!

Drinks for my friends.
