The world would be a much better place if we didn't return a low blow with a low blow - if we instead would restrain the miscreant and hold them accountable for breaking the rules as well as the blow itself. I believe that I can confidently say that, if low blows were grounds for disqualification, none of the sitting officials in Washington would be sitting in Washington. And we would have a much more civilized political debate. Sure, the wingnuts and the moonbats would be at the debate, but the wingnuts wouldn't be running the show - the big money elite would have to find another set of stooges to do their dirty work. Somehow they always manage to...
But I digress. And of course I realize that in the real world, sometimes the elite the rich the powerful some people can get away with breaking the rules. I could give you quite a few examples (coughcoughOxycontinKidcoughcough) (coughcoughCriscoJohnnycoughcough) (coughcoughPencilDickcoughcough) off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir in this case.
Anyways,... I haven't been making the rounds through the Funny Farm links zone like I used to. For some strange reason (coughcoughSummerOfFuncoughcough) I've been a bit busy of late. There should be just about enough mind candy over there to get you through your web surfing experience on a daily basis. And the only ditto monkeys you'll see are the trolls in the comments zones.
Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to recharge the outrage meter a bit. The irony alert siren has gone off once again after seeing pResident Bass Blaster can find the time to go on a fishing show. He probably spent more time with the fish than he did with the 9-11 commission. And I'll bet the fishing show got a lot better ratings, too...

Posted by: (: Tom :) at August 20, 2004 09:48 AMThe comments spam....Our chief weapon is suprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to highly-processed canned troll-meat.... Our *four*...no...*Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....and....and....oh, bollocks! Can I start again?
