Um, does DeLay not even have the faintest NOTION how crazy he sounds given that conservatives control EVERY BRANCH OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

t bangs head against wall

starve them to death for two weeks.

I would really like to see someone starve to death faster. Unfortunately, physics has laws.

attacks against the conservative moment, against me and against many others.

Maureen Dowd saw this and said, Ah, I thought this was about her crisis. I see it is actually All About Tom DeLay.

Shmuck.

Also, you know what? I respect psychotic paranoid ranting a lot more when it is actually legitimately paranoid than when it is cynically used as a tool of attack. Honestly Paranoid People Unite (if you can)!

That whole syndicate that they have going on right now is for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to destroy the conservative movement.

Two questions: Does this syndicate have a website and do they take paypal?

hee!

That Americans would be so barbaric as to pull a feeding tube out of a person that is lucid and starve them to death for two weeks.

Great, now she not only can talk, but she's actually lucid.

Fucker. Bugfuck craxy fucker. I hope these words get him tossed out on his ass next election.

Also, now I want a t-shirt that says "PROUD MEMBER OF THE VAST LIBERAL CONSPIRACY."

I know a few right wing blogs that already have some for their side.

I have serious love for Maureen Dowd's column in the NYTimes today.

Maybe President Bush should spend less time preaching about spreading democracy around the world and more time worrying about our deteriorating democracy.

The scene on Capitol Hill this past week has been almost as absurdly macabre as the movie "Weekend at Bernie's," with Tom DeLay and Bill Frist propping up between them this poor woman in a vegetative state to indulge their own political agendas.

A CBS News poll yesterday found that 82 percent of the public was opposed to Congress and the president intervening in this case; 74 percent thought it was all about politics.

I really want to believe that this will mean that the Democrats regain control of at least one of the houses of Congress in 2006. I really really REALLY do.

But I also thought that the lack of WMDs would cost Shrub the election.

I thought that Abu Graib would cost Shrub the election.

So every time I think something is going to cause the tide to turn, it just further cements their position.

In a live poll today on MSNBC (admittedly non-scientific) they asked if people thought that congress actually cared about Terri Schiavo, or if they were just pushing their own agenda.

The results were 89% to 11% that these politicians were just pushing their own agenda.

Although it is, as Steph points out, to early to say this, and proclamations of this sort have been made and been wrong before, this time I think that, between Social Security and Terri Schiavo, the right has finally stepped on some land mines that might actually do some damage.

I just found out that a co-worker who sits kitty corner from me has co-written a play that's being put on by the Factory Theater in Chicago (and is being directed by Nick Digilio, the WGN radio host who has done some fun interviews with Tim Minear and other Wonderfalls/Firefly related people). I popped my head up to verify the info, and Mr. Shy here was all "I don't like to self-promote, but yeah, that's me."

I hope. Oh I hope.

[eta: And if I remember, I'll whip up a VAST LIBERAL CONSPIRACY t-shirt tonight on CafePress.]
