Ignoring the "news"

I went to the dentist today to get a filling done in my far back molar. I need a root canal and a crown but I can afford a filling. Hopefully it holds long enough to scrounge up the cash. Making the task of saving money more difficult, my brakes went on my car. Again. On the plus side I did walk an extra mile and a half today because of that. Since I'm trying to lose weight I felt proud of myself and had an extra big helping of ice cream for lunch as a reward.

But as I was sitting there in the chair waiting for my face to get all numb and mallable, I watched what is passing for Journalism on tv. I was watching MSN because.. well, because it was the first channel I came to that wasn't commercials now back off you CNN snob. The discussion on hand was about the latest supreme court nominee. The one the Dem's won't vote for on principle and the one republicans won't vote for because she's not conservative enough. The "liberal" fortunately was not able to say all that much because She waited patiently until it was her turn to speak and didn't interrupt. Seeing this, combined with general observations of the past 10 years have lead me to want to help the Democrats. Poor lost pseudo-liberals that they are. Here is my advice.

1) Impeach Cheney. Hope he's shocked, has a heart attack and keels over. He may not be running in 2008, but if he has the heart attack now the initial rush of sympathy will be over.

2) Get mean, start calling these rich white "christian" hypocrites on their hypocracy. How can a rich guy truthfully follow a religion that prizes poverty? and ask the leading members of your party the same question.

3) Get your rich guys together and put together a liberal Country supergroup to counteract all of the chest-thumping "let's go kill sumpin" tracks on the airwaves now.

4) Nominate a Black Woman. After Seeing "taxi" I think Queen Latifah is available.

5) or... go after the bigot vote. IT worked in 94 and 2004.. Hey, you might not lose much but you might gain the senate.

6) Give up, move to canada and let the country rot in a cesspool of rascist, homophobic, Christian supremist, war-mongering, polluting filth. Then, come back in 4 years and buy it all for pennies on the dollar.

Just thoughts.. add, criticize, and mock as you will.
