Unfortunately (3.00 / 2)

That is the only joke I lifted in the entire piece. I think I heard it in an SNL rant several years back.

But I agree, we are all in this together, and we need to remmeber that. That's the point I want to make to people in this post.

Re: Unfortunately (3.00 / 1)

you made it in the last post. The people who didn't get it don't undrestand how humor works. It was funny because it was true of the mindset.  Not to play literary critic, but it was a well done illustration of the point that 'no man is an island.' By putting it in ridiculous terms, you show how ridiculous the people are who claim that any one person can claim this election was about them (well except Bush- he may have the only distinction for that during this election but even he had many on his team contributing to the GOP lose). Actually, I would like to see more on the left doing comic pieces like this. I find that it cuts to the truth more than a thousand well written dissertatiosn on the same subject. Can anyone doubt how idiot bigotry is after watching Borat?

Re: Unfortunately (3.00 / 1)

you could be right. I actualyl worried when writing this post that it would undercut the first one. But I've never been accussed of letting my desire to say something trump my desire to say anything.

Re: Unfortunately fortuantely (none / 0)

nice piece - both of them-you could probably say similar about the forces that effect voting----- pre-election. Furthermore it could be said this is about power- where does it come from and more importantly how do we "deal" with it. The conservatives have since antiquity used the idea it is easier to control in a concentrated circle and the liberals have tried to expand the source and expression thereof. It becomes part and parcel to the election process in general. The conservative element within the Democrat Party tries to wrest the power in the fashion of its' nemesis. Of which it should be suspicious- but in the words of Lao-tzu "The Master doesn't talk-he acts- when his work is done the people say "amazing, we did it, all by ourselves"
Peace out baby.
