Eschew obfuscation

What is one to make of Voinavitch's behavior with respect to the Bolton nomination? He obviously doesn't think he's the right person for the job and, indeed, thinks that had Bolton been working the in private sector he would have been fired. So why didn't he just vote against him and end the whole charade? Apparently Voinovich wants his cake and to eat it too. This is the wrong guy for the job but I mustn't go too far, Cheney may spankee. Chafee, of course, not wanting to offend Emperor Cheney voted in favor just as we have known all along that he would. Will Bolton get a positive vote in the Senate? Will Larry Flynt intervene and raise questions so embarrassing Bolton will have to withdraw? Stay tuned.

Not content with having control of the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, the major media, the far right nitwits are determined to also control the judiciary, and may well succeed. But they're not content even with that, they also want to control Public Broadcasting. Having tried for years to get rid of PBS entirely, and failed, they have now decided to try to control its programming. Tomlinson, head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting insists that PBS is biased toward liberals and therefore should be balanced by more conservative commentators (like that absolute moron, Tucker Carlson). When will people wake up to the fact that the right wing has become nothing less than a cancer on the body politic? They are trying to overcome everything in their path, screw the constitution, fair play, tradition, whatever. They seek absolute power. This has simply got to come to an end, they have to be stopped before they succeed entirely in their mission to turn the clock back to the Middle Ages. They want to debate evolution versus intelligent creation. What is to debate? Of course evolution is "only a theory," just as intelligent creation is just a fantasy. They obviously have no understanding of what a theory actually consists of and presume to substitute fairy tales in its place. Of course no reputable scientist is going to be sucked into such a "debate." Why are these cretins not simply laughed out of existence? As far as I am concerned, if you believe in the literal truth of the bible, and believe science is not better than myth, you should not be allowed to vote. The consequences are far too dangerous.
