Inconvenient Party: The Democrats
Bill Maher puts it pretty straight: The Democrats are a bunch of pussies and they will NEVER fix the environment. (don’t get upset that I said ‘pussies’, okay mom? I didn’t say ‘cunts’ and you know how I like to use the c-word because polls show that most people HATE that word. If I said ‘cunt’ on this website, I’d lose all the pussy p.c. Democrats who read my blog and I wouldn’t risk that, mom!)
Salon pretty much sucks, but THIS MAHER PIECE (link) is dead on. On Jimmy Carter: “If a Democrat who’s out of office and 100 years old can’t speak out, what chance do we have for the ones who are in office?”
Now where did I put that ‘Nader 2008′ t-shirt? (Zoinks! Now I’ve said “cunt” and “Nader” in the same post! Now those pussy Democrats are going to start planning to talk about hiring people to shoot spitballs at me!!!

Inconvenient Party: The Democrats…
…
Tod,
Salon.com isn’t all that bad. Glenn Greenwald* posts good stuff five days a week, plus Salon hosts Juan Cole, my favorite Middle Eastern expert, and Hoe Conason, whose book, IT CAN HAPPEN HERE, I am laboring over for a book review. Add these lesser stars: Sidney Blumenthal and Gary Kayiya, and I’d say Salon is okay enough.
I hope you’ll tell me why it isn’t.
*I’ll send you Greenwald’s post about the myth of defuding the (mis)adventure in Iraq. He’s hopping mad at the Democrats.
Salon is pretty mediocre, I have to agree.
I guess for me, it falls into the same camp as the nation magazine - both examine topical issues from a determined perspective.
It has a place, but there must be more - should be more.
But I may just be tired.
