The Stranger: F*** the New York Times
I've dashed out the f-word here, but it runs in full glory in the actual version of this.

F--- the 'New York Times'
While you were shopping, the president of the United States wiped his ass with the U.S. Constitution.
BY NICHOLAS WIND

Goddamn it. F--- the New York Times. Those assholes have known for over a year that Bush has been taping our phone calls and we're just finding out about it now? Good thing we weren't making any important decisions 14 months ago. The next person who starts bitching about how hard the so-called "liberal media" is on the president is gonna get a jackboot upside the head. And don't get all excited that the Times finally did get around to telling us about this little caper. They only printed it because they found out they were about to get scooped by their own reporter. All the news that's fit to print on my ass.

And even after the Times got around to telling us that Bush has been pissing on the Constitution for years now, that asshole just mutters the magic word -- Nineleven -- and all those pesky laws disappear. Luckily, we live in a republic, so our elected representatives sprang into action and talked about maybe, possibly, holding hearings on this emperor act. If they can fit it into their busy schedules. Perhaps when the forecast is a little less patriotic.

You'll forgive my lack of enthusiasm about the Democrats' semi-realistic impression of vertebrates over the holiday break. These f---ers are so bad off that they're calling a five-week extension of the PATRIOT Act a victory? Please. Do you really think some little law is going to stop the tipsy Texan from reading your mail? Well grab hold of the reality train, assholes -- it's time to start paying attention to the man behind your curtains.

lots, lots more
