In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

The Lies of George W. Bush—Fair and Balanced 

David Corn's new book The Lies of George W. Bush is coming out today. Corn is the Washington Editor of The Nation, so the book should be accurate—although I was troubled to see he is also a contributor to the Fox News Channel. That's kind of like sleeping with the devil. Or Brit Hume. Bleck. Makes me shudder.

And next week, Michael Moore's new book Dude, Where's My Country? is coming out. He says he's "on a mission in his new book: Regime Change." Can't wait! You go, Michael!

Al Franken is doing a great job speaking out about the Bush Administration, too. (Of course you heard about Fox News Channel suing Franken over the title of his book: Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. They lost.) I heard him on C-Span the other night, and he was great. I think he was speaking to a group of Democrats. That's a good thing. The Democrats need a kick in the pants. They are pathetic. They kiss Shrub's butt at every opportunity. I'm hoping Congress will soon wake up and smell the oil. We need a regime change here at home.

And while we're on the subject of regime change....Many, many of my friends live in California, and I'm begging all of you: I don't want to wake up next week and find out that Arnold Schwarzenegger is governor of California. CALIFORNIA: it has the fifth largest economy on the planet! I cannot tell you all the things that would be wrong with that. It's too horrible to even contemplate. Except remember this: you give Arnie California, you might as well be giving it to Dubya on a silver platter.

I'm just saying... 0 comments
