Looney Toons I heard Newt Gingrich on NPR earlier this week babbling some nonsense denouncing the State Department's autonomy. I was surprised. Wasn't he committed a few years ago? Has he been released already? If so, it's clearly premature, cause he's still a raving lunatic. What the hell are responsible news organizations doing, putting a microphone in front of this looney toon? While I'm on the subject, when are the nice young men in the clean white coats coming to take Tom DeLay away? He's twice the nut that Gingrich ever was, and half as intelligent to boot. 8:15:48 PM    Put your John Hancock right here! []

Professional Victim You can usually figure out what Republicans are really doing by looking at what they accuse their opponents of doing. That way, when you call them on anything, it sounds like you're saying "I'm rubber and you're glue." One thing that sticks out to me is their accusation that civil rights groups are "professional victims." What is Rush Limbaugh if not a professional victim? He's constantly whining that everyone else has "special rights" and that he, as a straight white male, is disadvantaged. And he's getting millions of dollars for doing so. How would you define "professional victim?" 7:24:36 AM    Put your John Hancock right here! []
