FEEL THE BURN,
GIRLYMAN

By David Podvin

In the aftermath of the California special election the headlines read, “SCHWARZENEGGER ROUTED”, a most welcome bulletin that for inspirational value ranks a close second to “COULTER DROWNS IN SEWAGE TREATMENT MISHAP”. Yet the most relevant factor is not that He Who Gropes has just been groped. It is the way in which he has been groped that serves as a template for liberal success.

Thus the returns on Election Night have provided liberals with a multiple orgasm moment. For the fascists who run the state GOP there now exists that horrible sinking feeling, the political equivalent of learning that your husband is about to make a movie with Angelina Jolie. Rather than kicking the butts of the public servants, Schwarzenegger got his butt kicked or – as I prefer to think of it – the nurses and their allies fondled Arnold’s breasts against his will.

The California experience provides an invaluable lesson for Democrats nationwide that relates to the contemptible cowardice of “keeping our powder dry”. There is but one surefire way to vanquish conservatives, and that is to beat the shit out of them.

The turning point in Arnold’s fortunes did not actually occur when the unions decided to go for his jugular, but shortly thereafter. Once the anti-Schwarzenegger campaign started, there was the inevitable reaction from the usual right wing suspects. Talk radio hosts screamed indignantly that liberals were proving themselves to be vicious bullies. The Republican Party issued statement after statement decrying the vile slander of it all. The mainstream media disparaged the union effort as “outrageous propaganda”. And Schwarzenegger was so irate that at one point it seemed certain he would deploy the National Guard to invade Poland.

was on Biden's pre-emptive surrender on Alito.

Well worth the read.

5. definitely he made a mistake f***ing with nurses and teachers

I deal with nurses who call about online screens - "the mad nurses" we call them (I tell trainees - if that job is running late BUMP IT UP; else you will hear from the MAD NURSES) - I tell you, we better not have any excuses or try bluffing - those gals not miss a trick - they get what they want. Yes INDEED! :o

Like Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz, the solution to liberals' woes is as plain as the shoes on their feet. The Kansas schoolgirl was experiencing major heartache until she pitched water on the Wicked Witch, who thereupon disappeared faster than you can say, "Iraqi weapons of mass destruction". Had Dorothy failed to vaporize the old hag it is safe to assume that, not unlike American progressives, little Toto would still be at the mercy of winged monkeys. The California example clearly indicates that liberals are the ones who possess the ruby slippers. They always have, but somewhere along the way they forgot how the magic works.

It works like this: tell the truth.
