Oh Huckabee, why won’t you go away? It was fun for a while, but then it ended, and we’ve all moved on. Why can’t you? Signing on with a Hollywood talent agency, a new website, a new political action committee; what are you planning? I can’t figure out the pattern, but soon, I will. Whatever it is you’re conniving to do; if you’re still thinking about the Vice presidency, stop it now.
Other things I am tired off:
- Lou Dobbs
- Cats who don’t bury their turds (that means you, Lola!)
- Telemarketers
- That commercial with the guy in the crappy car who should have checked his credit
- Voter blocks; on Monday, it’s the white working class males that will ‘swing the vote’, on Tuesday it’s the ‘single women.’ Soon, it will be the Southern fry cooks, but only if they own a puppy and drive a Toyota.
- Yoghurt that supposedly helps your digestive system
- Weather men that say “precip” because they can’t be bothered to pronounce the whole word
- Billy Mays yelling about Oxy clean and light switches
- American Idol

Shit! McCain is trying to bribe us! I realize that these days we practically have to hand over our first-born in order to fill up our gas tanks, but this is truly low. Plus, even if it helps us in the short term, McCain won’t improve the economy as a whole, so it’s just another band-aid. Don’t fall for it; he’s trying to take advantage of that which pisses us off the most.
On the other hand, if his approval rating goes up because he’s waving this economical carrot, maybe there could be a bidding war between the candidates. All-out across the board bribing can’t be far off. It made me think, what great promise could make me forget about all my lofty ideals?
Free tuition? Nah, my oldest is only six. We don’t think long term.
No more taxes at all? Maybe. This year’s tax return kind of hurt.
How about completely free quality health care? No more insurance forms to fill out. Yeah, that one might work.
But the biggest boost of all would be if a candidate stood up and announced that these crazy and empty promises are a thing of the past.

Many of the mothers from the FLDS compound have been given the choice: go to a women’s shelter, or go back to the ranch. They overwhelmingly chose the latter, but not without quite a bit of complaining. Suddenly, these perverted versions of mommy dearest wanted to talk to the press.
Considering that most of these people have years of training in twisting the truth, we should not be surprised at their interpretation of recent events. Of course they would see this as an attempt of society at large to hurt and persecute them, g-d forbid they’d ever admit they did anything wrong.
Yet, at the same time, they felt the need to hide out and close ranks, their compound protected by armed guards; they must have known they couldn’t keep this up. It almost feels as if they get some type of enjoyment out of the whole situation, the way your mother tells you “I told you so” when you go out drinking and end up with a monster hangover.
Claims of trying to live a peaceful life sound hollow in the face of what was found inside that temple. There is nothing peaceful about coercion, fanaticism, and outright abuse. Equally false seem their tears at being separated from their children; but maybe they have forgotten that these are the same children that will be forced to marry against their will the minute they hit puberty. The girls, at least.
That makes me wonder: what does happen to the boys? With all the old guys grabbing hold of the girls, who do they marry when they grow up?
