From Margaret and Helen - Shit Happens

[Richard D]

When I listen to the conservative leadership of today - Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity, my moron of a neighbor Jerry… - it seems clear that they no longer stand for anything but rather against everything. Except for torture. They seem to be all for that. But everything else seems to be no, no, no! One thing is for sure - they hate change. Which is too bad for them because trust me when I say that change - like shit - happens.

Actually, they are fine with some change. They really seem to enjoy changing history. Take for example, two other shit for brain conservatives named Dick Cheney and Bill Bennett, who seem to think waterboarding isn’t torture. That’s funny because when my Harold came back from WWII, we were all pretty clear on that form of torture. If my memory serves me correct - and it does - we convicted some Japanese soldiers for just that very reason.

But Dick and Bill aren’t as old as they look - and they look really old. WWII was before their time. But we actually courtmarshalled one of our own for participating in waterboarding during Vietnam. Things might be more clear for Dick and Bill if they actually served in the armed forces - alas they didn’t. In fact, Dick applied for and received five draft deferments instead of serving in Vietnam. See Dick and Bill. See Dick and Bill run. Run Dick. Run Bill.

These morons have nothing left to offer. There are no solutions for peace. Instead we must always be ready for war. There are no solutions for poverty, instead we must carefully protect the wealth of the wealthy. There are no solutions for the environment, instead we must simply put our heads in the sand and pretend that life goes on forever - unchanging and without consequence. No wonder these guys look bloated and constipated. They’re full of shit, and lots of it.

If you don't know of Margaret and Helen - well, find out. They are best friends for 60 years and counting, and they blog their letters. Pithy, direct, and often very funny.
