The Political Entry for the Month

[viedma]

Okay, I might've eaten a sack of White Castles and hallucinated this, but wasn't it just a week ago that Obama was a radical Muslim? And now, without missing a beat, we're shocked, shocked, that Obama's (Christian) preacher said something that 300 million Americans don't entirely agree with? He's gone from being a radical Muslim to a radical African to a radical Muslim to a radical Christian at a breakneck pace. I know it's Karl Rove's and Sean Hannity's job to generate false outrage over Obama, what I really don't understand is why anyone choses to listen to them. I mean, I expect the Pepsi spokesman to tell me that Coca-Cola is an inferior product, that's what they're paid to do. Read between the lines, people.

Meanwhile...

O HAI TEH KOUNTREE IS IN KRISIS OVER HEER.

Anyway, nuff of that. Did you see this story about Torchwood and LOLcats? Of course you did, it's got 17 pages of comments. Still, read it again anyway.

marrrrry, you don't seriously mean to suggest that people should draw their own conclusions instead of relying on punditry and polemics? that's just absurd.

*Danny wonders again what alternate universe portal he stepped through when Republicans are complaining about what a presidential candidate's preacher says*

I kinda wish Mr Obama's preacher would run for president.

Intolerance in faith-based communities? SHUT UP IT'S OK WHEN OUR SIDE DOES IT. IT'S DIFFERENT, OK? IT JUST IS. OUR CANDIDATES DON'T REALLY THINK THAT WAY THEY'RE JUST DOING IT TO PLACATE THE FRINGES. NO, REALLY! (Look! It works for either side.)
