Monday Morning Rant


Here's something I wanted to rant about last week but it got totally side-tracked by the John Edwards bloggers debacle. Especially since it is a perfect follow-up to the hypocrisy surrounding that debacle. A hypocrisy based on how a certain kind of woman uses language.

I was told by a party insider they could not link to this blog because I used the word "panties" in one of my posts.

Yes people. Like 9 year-olds, Democrats are skittish of the word used for a girls' cootie catcher.

Do I have to be a multi-millinaire political socialite or a couple of guys dressed in blog drag for it to be acceptable? What of the DNC linking to the aforementioned blog back in 2004 when it had a media dilettante who's shitck at said blog was to endlessly pepper her posts with sodomy jokes?

Does choosing not to link to this blog have something to do with common decency or is it just out right censorship?

Words to live by

We don't see it as not having church on Christmas. We see it as decentralizing the church on Christmas - hundreds of thousands of experiences going on around Christmas trees.
