QUOTIDIAN NOTES
Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore has been suspended, and, according to the Washington Post, will not interfere with the removal of "Roy's Rock" from the rotunda of the state supreme court building. Our dear friend Ant Crabby, commenting on the picture of Judge Roy posted here yesterday, wrote "That cracker looks like he just kicked the stool out from under a black man with his head in a noose while running his hand up his daughter's shorts and simultaneously pissing on the prostrate forms of his followers. Even Nicholson couldn't do better." I wonder if Judge10C is smirking today.
As a direct result of the "fair and balanced" efforts of FOX NEWS, Al Franken's book is now Amazon.com's number one bestseller. In throwing out FOX's suit against Franken, U.S. District Judge Denny Chin called the network's lawsuit "wholly without merit, both factually and legally." But, as Joal Ryan at E! Online News said, "It was not, however, without its entertainment value." As for Franken himself, he had this to say about that: "In addition to thanking my own lawyers, I'd like to thank Fox's lawyers for filing one of the stupidest briefs I've ever seen in my life."
My wife and I have contributed both to the MoveOn.org's Defend Democracy in Texas campaign, and to the Dean's "A Million Against Bush" effort at Blog for America. Last I checked, MoveOn had collected almost $820,000, and the Deanies had taken in $283,753.03 as of 11pm ET, since sometime this morning. I urge all pilgrims and eseekers to do the same. The Bush administration has jumped the shark and if all those who oppose it unite we can bring this nightmarish Big-Brother-in-the-Whitehouse "reality series" to an early cancellation.
Mambrino's Helmet recently made reference, in a response to a comment I posted at his site, to "liberal herd behavior." Unlike the American Bison herds that used to "blacken the plains" with their numbers, the liberal herd has not been driven to the edge of extinction, in spite of the psy-ops job the rightwing media has done on America's collective head. We can still blacken a plain or two; if we all wake up and start moving, rolling thunder will be heard. There are more of us than there are of them, and if we all vote, and vote together, we can show this amoral minority what a moral majority really is.
