Speaking of Kentucky, by the by: Lexington, KY elects openly gay mayor.
I'm sure Rand Paul will fix that -- don't you know the Constitution has an article written in invisible ink that says "none of the above applied to fags or rag-heads"? Well, you would if it wasn't for the establishment fat-cats, UN Marxists and Jew-controlled socialist media.

Yep, Rand Paul is off to the Senate
Interns are being issues with aqua-lungs as we speak... All hail the avatar of the Aqua-Buddha!

Sorry for the thread-jack, but has Darth McVicar and the Insensible Sentencing Trust gotten round to denouncing the politically-correct-crim-coddling Supreme Court letting a violent criminal walk on a technicality?
Yes, Jimmy Mason -- the child beater's poster boy -- has had his conviction quashed and another little piece of my heart just died.

OK, here's the bit of Mo Tucker's rant that always bemuses me:
I am stunned that so many people who call themselves liberal yet are completely intolerant. I thought liberals loved everyone: the poor, the immigrant, the gays, the handicapped, the minorities, dogs, cats, all eye colors, all hair colors! Peace, love, bull!
Curious they have no tolerance whatsoever for anyone who doesn’t think exactly as they do. You disagree and you’re immediately called a fool, a Nazi, a racist.
Yeah, because it's so fucking "intolerant" -- nay, downright fascist -- when people exercise their constitutional rights to say they're full of shit. But I guess that's the American Way: Absolute and unconditional free speech for me, but not for thee. And while we're at it, let's rewrite the Declaration of Independence as follows:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created victims, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Having No Life, Hypocrisy and the pursuit of High Functioning Psychosis."
Still, if the Dixie Chicks want to go back on the road I know the perfect drummer...

All true, but I do think Olympia Snowe deserves significant criticism for the fact she eventually decided to toe the Republican Party line and fillibuster against the Senate Healthcare legislation- despite the fact she was part of the Group of Six which helped draft it.
Fair enough, but at least her idea of good faith negotiation isn't "issue a completely nonsensical set of demands by press release, refuse to even respond to invitations to attend meetings, then blame Obama for your own d-baggery".
Of course, there's plenty I don't agree with Snowe on (her long-held opposition to repealing DADT, and based on her record I don't think we could count on her support for a FTA with New Zealand) but at least she has form on grown-up behaviour.

According to Wikipaedia, President Howard's Broadway début was in Promises, Promises. Kind of poetic when you think about it:

Could I haz my thread back plz?
Sure. Is there any point in noting that my homegirl Olympia Snowe (with reservations) supported Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act? She's actually got more fiscal conservative street cred than most of her party, because she voted again the Bush tax cuts in 2003 because the maths of cutting taxes while massively increasing federal spending didn't add up to her.
And even if they are wrong, politically it sells.
If? It's a simple matter of fact that the last time the GOP controlled both houses of Congress (under a Republican administration) they never saw a spending bill they couldn't cover in bacon, oversaw the greatest expansion in federal spending since the Johnson Administration and frankly have no economic policy that can be taken seriously while sober. I can't for the life of me understand why the Party of Palin isn't being confronted with its own record.
Still, good to know the epidemic of masturbating Muslim witches will be smote by the end of the week. Or something.

Keep your authoritarian hegemonic discourse off my free expression. Or not. Lookit - kitty!

I think, at this point, I will just link to this.
Whatevs. Here's A Kitten. Only Connect.
That is soooo going on a t-shirt.

Speaking of Buckley...
Every time I watch Buckley and Vidal bitching each other with their perfectly circular patrician vowels, I think of otherwise sensible lefty friends who still turn to mush as Mr. Vidal is busy losing what's left of his once formidable mind:
So what’s your take on Polanski, this many years later?
I really don’t give a fuck. Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she’s been taken advantage of?
I’ve certainly never heard that take on the story before.
First, I was in the middle of all that. Back then, we all were. Everybody knew everybody else. There was a totally different story at the time that doesn’t resemble anything that we’re now being told.
What do you mean?
The media can’t get anything straight. Plus, there’s usually an anti-Semitic and anti-fag thing going on with the press – lots of crazy things. The idea that this girl was in her communion dress, a little angel all in white, being raped by this awful Jew, Polacko – that’s what people were calling him – well, the story is totally different now from what it was then.
Isn't it adorable seeing the object of a statutory rapist's affections being trashed as a "little hooker"? Are Vidal, Stephen ("ladybits don't like to fuck") Fry and Chris Trotter sharing a half-wit or something?
