A lone Kucinich supporter on the corner of 21st and Harvard in Tulsa The primary results in Oklahoma with 88 percent of the precincts reporting: Edwards and Clark are in a dead heat at 30 percent. Kerry follows at 26 percent.  Lieberman 7 percent.  Dean 5 percent.  Sharpton 2 percent.  Kucinich 1 percent.  However, the most interesting result was on the Republican side.  Bush got 88 or 90 percent; his opponent Bill Wyatt got 10 or 12 percent of the GOP vote.  A significant number of Republicans came out to vote in the primary for a candidate whose principal qualification is that he is not George W. Bush.  I think the man from Baja Oklahoma has something to worry about when 10 to 12 percent of Republicans in a conservative state vote against him in their party primary.   11:01:18 PM    comment []

Breasts and Circuses.  Tits for twits.   His Loveliness the Pope, the Reverend and Doctor Omed hereby declares and proclaims this Our Blog a Janet-Jackson-Breast-Free Zone.  No image of the breast of Janet Jackson will ever appear on Dr. Omed's Tent Show Revival.  All Our breasts are beatified, sanctified, and certified Holy, whether appearing in the Nun of the Week or in Scissor Dances , here in the center ring of the Big Top, or wherever mammaries are found at the Tent Show.  His Loveliness the Pope abjures and exhorts all pilgrims and seekers in the blogosphere to follow Our sterling example, and refrain from giving a tithe of free promotion (and a ready-made decoy issue to the fair and balanced paladins of punditry), to such a crass, calculated, and pathetic act of pop idolatry.  Besides, how do you think this makes Brittany feel? 1:33:57 PM    comment []

A PROVEN MAN   As a young man, George W. Bush proved that he had no problem letting other men go to war in his place.   As Governor of Texas, George W. Bush proved that he has no problem sending men and woman to their deaths to serve his own political ends.  Some of whom were most likely innocent of the crimes for which they were executed.   As the President of the United States, George W. Bush proved that he has no problem embroiling this country in war  (bankrupting it as well), and sending  young men and women in harm's way, some to kill and be killed, all for the sake of a fantasy dreamed up by his fellow chickenhawks in a Neocon thinktank.  Young men and women who do not shun the service George W. Bush was at pains to elude when he was a young man, no matter how many flightsuits he wraps himself in, no matter how many turkeys he hides behind . As a man, and a leader, George W. Bush has proved he doesn't have a problem with any of that. It doesn't matter how many people die. His problem is getting elected to the office he already occupies.  For the first time.   How many more people will die if we give him four more years?  How much more of the planet itself will be irrevocably damaged for the profit of his friends in the oil "bidness?"  How many of our unalienable rights will remain unalienated and unviolated?    Do your duty as a citizen. Vote.  If you have a primary in your state, and are a registered Democrat, it is very important that you vote today.  My wife and I already have.    Anybody But George W. Bush. 7:56:47 AM    comment []

COMMANDMENT OF THE DAY "When two men are fighting together, if the wife of one intervenes to protect her husband from the other's blows by putting out her hand and seizing the other by the private parts, you shall cut her hand off and show no pity." Deuteronomy 25:11 (CoD 6) The Lord puts a high value on a man's "family jewels."  He has a begat quota to meet.  Mud wrestling is very risky. I would stay away from it, ladies. Commandment Update: Leviticus 19:28   To tattoo or not to tattoo Dial the Truth Ministries is with the Lord on this one, calling tattoos "the mark of blood, the cup of devils," and so on and so forth. Jason, at Religious Tattoos, a website devoted to Judeo-Christian body art, thinks "many Christians do not fully understand the saving grace that was given to us through the humanity and death of our Lord, Jesus Christ," and says "Christ gave us a New Law." Those kooky Kristians! What will they say next? 1:09:31 AM    comment []
