I can't believe people are debating 35-year-old typewriter innovations...

[Kid_A]

Did I imagine hearing the other day that more than 1,000 American troops have beel killed in Iraq? And the huge loss of jobs in this country? And the fact that bin Laden is still out there someplace? And expiration of the assault weapons ban?

And what are people discussing on the news? Fucking typewriters. Someone please punch me in the face so I'll make up.

1. It is called distraction

and they will continue to do so as long as they believe it is effective

Think abuot this... if you were george or his pals what would you rather discuss?

The economy, for havens sake NO

The Iraq war? For heavens sake, NO

North Korea? you NUTS!

Lets talka about lacy peterson, typewriters anyting but THE ISSUES.

And it is THE MEDIA STUPID

4. I realize that, but it still pisses me off something fierce.

Knowing why things are the way they are doesn't ease the pain in the slightest.

"Ow! My leg hurts!"
"That's because you just got shot with a newly-legalized assault rifle."
"Oh, now it doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks, doc!"

9. I know, I know

but making us angry will not help, send a carefully worded nastigram to the local paper, and your congress critters, will make yuo feel better and the sqeaky wheel and all that, you know

11. Bambi's also evolved some new Kevlar fur.

So make sure you get some armor-piercing rounds while you're in Wal-Mart. I'm gonna grab some hand grenades to shove up Thumper's ass.

13. Your M16 is no more or less legal today than it was yesterday

M16s are legally classified as "machineguns" and regulated under the National Firearms Act of 1934. They are not now nor were they ever considered assault weapons.

8. Your candidate's lack of service is the whole problem.

If he only had the honesty to say: "Heck, I didn't want to get my ass shot off in some stupid war."

But then people would ask why he's sending others to get shot.

3. Have to hand it to

the Theocratic Fascist wing of the Republican party. They're very good at what they do. The fact that this election would even be close proves that.

10. Courtesy of Rove...

we'll next be discussing the silk content of Marie Antoinette's underwear or Hitler's love life. :eyes:
