Don't Start Helping Me Now

I have to tell you, my surfing of the right-wing radio has been really annoying for the past two days. Have you noticed how unhappy they all are? Host after host bemoaning how W did them wrong by naming his White House counsel to the Supreme Court instead of the Radical Right ideologue he promised during the campaign. "This is not what we voted for Mr. President!"

Geez. Put a sock in it already.

Ever have a welcome to my world moment? Left and Right are finally together for a brief couple of days here. We're unhappy about the war, the economy, gas prices, the FEMA effort, the CIA leak from the White House senior staff, and the litany of lies told by the man they elected President.

And now he's lied to them. It was only a matter of time. Really it likely has been happening all along. It's just that this one was bald faced enough that it rung right through their fawning and woke them up.

And me? I feel like John McClane in Die Hard: "WELCOME TO THE PARTY PAL!!!"

If y'all had come home from the country club and put down your boilermaker a while ago you might have noticed that this behavior isn't new. The man and his people are devious, money-grubbing technocrats concerned with one mission only: To make themselves as rich as is possible. The governing is just a means, something they have to do to slant the board in their favor.

Who did you think he'd name? Someone that would give the constitution a strict reading and make a fair ruling regardless of the circumstances or someone that when in say 12 years USA vs. Halliburton comes before the Supreme court because it so happens that maybe even 1/10th of what alarmists say is happening actually happened will look at the case and then stand by her man? "Won't legislate from the bench" like he gives two poops over that. "Won't put Cheney in jail." or "Won't take all my money." That's where the man lives.

51% of us noticed that quite some time ago. Next election, just stay home. We'll take care of it. Don't start helping us now.
