Will Rogers was right!
When I was in college a few years ago–I won’t say how long ago, but the textbooks were on birchbark. Hand-written. In runes. But I digress.
Anyway, in Abnormal Psychology, I read about the time an insane asylum caught fire. Sucker burned to the ground. Everyone panicked except the paranoids–they knew all along aomething like this would happen, and calmly led everyone else to safety. I know exactly how they felt.
For years–thirty at least–I have known that our government did not have our best interests at heart, that we the people were systematically lied to, screwed over, and basically sold down the river. Now, thanks to the grossly mis-named Patriot Act, I have been proved right. In cards, spades, big casino, AND little casino.
You may have heard about the librarians crying about having to tell the governmnt what books you have been reading. Personally, I don’t really care–the bastards already know what I have been getting on my credit cards, what my favorite restuarant is, what I say when I call my sisters, and my hat size. Big deal.
The thing that really makes me glad that 1) I live out here in the relative wilds of Alaska and 2) my whole family and I are well-armed, is the fact that now, the Bill of Rights has basically been turned into toilet paper. You–or me or your DAR member Aunt Fanny–can be arrested without a warrant. We can be thrown into the slammer without being told what we have been charged with. We can be kept there as long as they please. A public defender–any lawyer at all? Forget it. Bail–forget it. The bastards don’t even have to tell anyone where you are. And if THAT doesn’t scare you more than any administration-concocted fairy tale about terrorists, you need a mental enema, ’cause your head is full of shit.
A recent poll says that Dubya would lose a prsidential election to Daffy Duck if it were held today. Surprise, surprise. The thing that amazes me is that anyone is stupid enough to vote for hm at all. Jesus, how many rich ignorant fucks can there be?
I take increasingly smaller comfort it the words of Will Rogers–”Thank God we don’t get all the government we pay for.”

Well said.
Rant on, Darlin’! There’s a marvelous diversity to your writing lately. How about getting back to the NPD journal?
Wow, looks like they made habeas corpus toilet paper too!
I don’t know the numbers but he made huge gifts of money to those already well-to-do, with his big tax cut; so he’s prob’ly got all them votes. Maybe he can give us all jobs and WIN at the next election, but I’m sure he’s working on an easier way. The reason Donnie Duck doesn’t win many elections is because people have to write in his name – hey, you know what, maybe me or you -you, not me – should legally change our name to Donald Duck and get started in politics in a big way. I’d vote for you. Ah, hell, I’d vote for ya anyway, even without a big name.
This is why I do not vote at all. They say that if you don’t vote, you can’t bitch about those in office……..perhaps this is so, however, unlike my Grandmother’s days where you could depend on a party to demonstrate party values, this is not the case today………they are all vultures and will say anything…..party line doesn’t work now and personally, I don’t trust any of them. As for Dwya…this war is bullshit and personally, I (and this will not make me popular with US residents) do NOT believe that they didn’t see this coming…..those aircraft passed a major airway (without detection? yeah right) ….. they weighed the deal. If we let this happen, how much power will we gain over the American people? the American allies even? He knew that it was happening and what was going to happen and he USED it. This is my opinion.
