Let’s do a little uniting; the great W-ya!-Divider won’t

Just in: now you can watch the most amazing 22 minutes in television history--OK, call me Mr. Hyperbole, it's what I do--Jon Stewart dressing down Tucker Carlson, Paul Begala, and by extenstion every shouter on the airwaves. "Stop, please, help us."

Thanks to Carol Todaro for the link.

Some people tell me they are not interested in voting, never have been. Amazing. Make a difference; show up November 2.

From Paul Krugman on slime-ball republican felonious vote tampering:

“The important point to realize is that these abuses aren't aberrations. They're the inevitable result of a Republican Party culture in which dirty tricks that distort the vote are rewarded, not punished. It's a culture that will persist until voters - whose will still does count, if expressed strongly enough - hold that party accountable.”

MIND-NUMBING, THE BILLION-DOLLAR HEADHUNTER

With that kind of money, who needs a job? Over $1,000,000,000 will be spent on the presidential election, so much that money isn’t relevant anymore.

What motivates John F. Kerry? GW Bush? As a young man, Kerry chose a life of public service. Bush? Did somebody make him do it? Those “good people around him?” How will all this go down in history? Oh, no matter we’ll all be dead (right W-Ya?). Some of us on the left bank of the river Styx. Which way to the Elysian Fields? Would that be a left or a right once we're in the "mainstream?" Wouldn't want to take a wrong turn now, would we?
