The Elections are over folks. It's time for Politics.
Any candidate who makes it through the middle of the Primaries is a "candidate" by definition only. In reality, the "candidate" is just the visible face of an incredibly political machine.

Just a face.

Ain't no magic wand, ain't no switch to flip to give everyone every single thing they want, to the exclusion of others.

From the day after the Election, the whole game is geared for the next cycle.

Hell, if it was really about The People and the Environment in which we live, Jim Hightower would be President for Life and someone like Dennis Kucinich would be waiting in the wings.

But it's not that way.

It's Politics.

Different Dogs, same Handlers.

Unless you are willing to fight in the streets, you had better get used to it.

I despise the way things are, so I have arranged my life to stay as far removed from our laws and government as possible.

I am not here because I am attempting to be "Progressive".

I am here because I hate everything the Bush Administration is and everything it stands for.

So I stumbled across this cool little site where I could get pissed off, fling some shit, and maybe - in the process - piss off some WingNuts.

Guess which DUer is Public Enemy #1 (with a "Sticky") on the "Other" Underground? They have me right there on their silly little site.

I guess I got their attention (for which their neighbors' dogs and their younger relatives are, no doubt, immensely grateful).

It's politics.

1. I say we progressives win us some politics. Keep up our sleeves rolled up
and prepared to get down and dirty. Our very lives depend on it.

7. Isn't it hilarious?
I can just hear them.

"Cover me, Boys, I'm goin' in!"

"We gotcha covered, TruthDagger!"


<>
"OK, guys, if TruthDagger doesn't make it back, I get the pics he took through his sister's bathroom window. Rambo, you can have his collection of Argosy magazines. DonnieJoe, you can have Betsy, his dog."

"Awww, FlintSteel, you know he knocked her up. My Mom won't let me bring the babies home."

"OK, cool out. We gotta keep a eye on the Kommies."

"Roger that."
