Al Franken may have hit a nugget of truth.

I accidentally caught some of Rush Lumbago's (Yeah I know it's spelled that way) radio program for the first time in at least 5 years on the way home from work yesterday, and man...is that guy a sheep for the neo-cons or what?

Normally I don't care, he has as much right as anyone to his opinion, and the opportunity to express it. What puts me off is the arrogant, self righteous manner about which he dismisses all other viewpoints. Case in point, he makes it a point to mock Senator McCain anytime he mentions his name, and insists that McCain is a bully. Why does he do this? McCain had the unmitigated gall to disagree with the President on the "coercive questioning" (or torture, whatever helps you sleep at night) issue. How dare you Senator!?!!? You're supposed to be in the same party! FALL IN LINE AND PRAISE THE MACHINE.

McCain, apparently, is supposed to tow the company line and never ever ever ever EVER supposed to actually go with what he believes. He thought for himself. Nope. Can't do that in the GOP. Typical "Republican party stance is absolutely right, and all Democrats (regardless of what they say) are individually wrong" fare from this overly medicated, popcorn peddling, regurgitator of spin.

ferchrissakes, can I get some real choices in my political process?

Ahh, Fall is in trhe air...

I'm happy it's football season. This one goes out to my Stepdad, a Clowns fan.
