the one time the left was right'?
Faker Limpballs
Angry Clown mode, which might have been just another death erection spasm of
Left-hating, left over from getting his sack spanked off with a folding
chair by Glenn Greenwald, but I tend to think not.
I tend to think that that maybe old Joe had been waiting by the phone for
his New Year's Eve Prom Night Big Media call for a long time.
Waiting for days. Weeks.
And still they did not call.
Every now and then he picked the receiver up -- just to check the dial
tone -- and then immediately slapped it back down again in terror that that
was The Exact Moment when the Big Media people had been calling to ask
him -- beg him, really -- to shove his face in front of a camera and burble
out some mildewy Centrist drivel for the umptee-umpth time.
Sometimes he had to pee, but did it fountain-like, leaning backwards out the
bathroom door limbo-style it with one ear cocked for the brrrring...and
never flushed or washed his furry little paws for fear the white noise of
running water would drown out the sound of Opportunity Calling...which is
also why he hadn't done laundry for a month, and why his sink was piled with
sticky, old dishes.
And so, as he sat in his stink, panic closing slowly over him as a tiny
voice whispered to him that The Call wasn't coming -- that he was finally
facing a long-overdue oblivion which would have engulfed him 20 years before
in a Better Universe -- Jokeline decided to take matters into his own hands,
and do the one thing GUARANTEED according to the ancient and sacred rules of
his lodge to earn him the approbation of the douchebag gatekeepers standing
between him and the warm, healing light of the teevee cameras.
Punching some imaginary hippies for nonexistent crimes.
Things the Left have gotten got quite a number of other things right.
Important things: real honest-to-God matters of life and death.
Like Katrina.
Terri Schiavo.
Torture.
Warrantless wiretapping.
US Attorney firings.
The millions -- billions -- looted and lost in the sands of Iraq.
The Plame Affair.
The radical deregulation of everything.
Campaign finance reform.
Election fraud.
Global climate change.
Civil rights.
Workplace safety.
The destruction of the middle class.
The Swiftboating of John Kerry.
Our failures in Afghanistan.

From looking like homeless persons... Repugs now speak like schizophrenic
homeless persons.
Why do they beat up on hippies?
For the same reason Pugs' intellectual forebears beat up on Jesus.
