And because his huge ego couldn't BEAR being a back-bencher, after being the Star of the Young Guns.

It's hard to have to move out and then stick around to see YOUR lavish office complex taken over by some "lesser light." denny hastert wasn't man enough to stick around, either. He took his ball and went home, too. These GOPers. They're all hot air and big ego. And when they get deflated, they aren't man enough to stick around til their job is fully completed.

Cowards.

Let's see, where's that YELLOW flag?

THANK YOU for posting these!

We all need a little pick-me-up like this, and frequently, to restore our faith in humanity.

I always did like Mike Malloy.

Crude. But then I get that way sometimes too! (Ahem! Um... sometimes?)

I remember that. I remember how ralph reed the extremist religious activist

back in the 80s exhorted his minions to run for school board seats. Run for the low-hanging fruit at the local level. An easier and cheaper in. But once you're in, you can start building. Build yourself a power base, build yourself an expanding group of allies and friends, supporters and then campaign donors, and you can start climbing the ladder to higher and higher office and more and more power and influence. And our side? Many - FAR TOO MANY - laughed at this little pipsqueak who looked like an aging choir boy. He had a round, clean-shaven, young, straight-outta-Mayfield-USA-where-Beaver-Cleaver-lived face. He was head of what I think was the so-called "Christian Coalition." He used the reagan landslide to slither into more prominence, himself. He was all over TV. If david gregory had had a show back then, HE would have been more regular a guest than john mccain is now. He was SUPER dangerous. His message was lethal to everything liberal and truly and genuinely democratic with a small D. And he had religion on his side. He was a religious extremist and worked hand-in-hand with the whole jerry falwell "Moral Majority" movement. And they gained prominence and media-darlinghood during reagan. reagan. And they pushed that agenda like nobody's business, as reagan and his cohorts were eagerly working the evangelical backwaters of this country, winning converts, fired-up-with religious-fervor activists, and relentlessly reliable groups of voters (also driven by their near-Apocalyptic religious fervor. A near-Apocalyptic FEVER, too, if you ask me.

reagan. We have SOOOOO much to thank him for.

The Root of All Evil. HAH! "Root" and "reagan" begin with an "R".

Amazing American Ugliness.

Oh MAN! Ugly.

What have we come to, America? And why do I feel like the America I'm addressing isn't the America that even exists anymore?

August 2, 2014

Indeed! Please don't be gone too long.

We need you, PCIntern. What msanthrope says!

August 2, 2014

Amen! Me too!
