07/28/2004: "Fodder For Fun"

Teddy went fear mongering in his speech last night. It’s such an “old” Democrat thing to do. The “new, progressive” democrats support hate speech when it’s targeted at Republicans and diversity as long as you think, act, and do exactly as they do.

Dr. Dean gave a speech that was a eulogy on his own Presidential campaign and platform, oh, and yeah, he supports John Kerry’s clear vision for America. Possibly suffering another near psychotic episode, Dr. Dean (maybe through voices in his head) is the only one who has heard John Kerry’s clear vision for America. The rest of us are still waiting.

During a talking head break on MSNBC, they tried to explain Terezza’s current political affiliation. According to them, Mrs. Flip Flop, the former Republican is now turned Democrat because the Republicans were ruthless with Max Cleland. Ruthless is now defined as telling the truth. While certain very high placed members of the DNC were touting Cleland as a “War Hero” (something that Cleland has never claimed) someone challenged that claim with the fact that Cleland inadvertently blew himself up with a hand grenade on a non-combat mission and not a fire fight with the enemy. While not even a bitchkitty like me would deny the courage Cleland exhibited after his accident, he wasn’t a war hero “who left three limbs on the battlefield of Vietnam” as Terry McAuliffe is fond of saying. So please Terezza try another explanation. I would buy that you pledge political affiliation to whichever party your current husband Senator belongs to and that would be an honest, respectable answer. To which I’m sure she would reply “shove it.”

Next up was Barak Obama, new fresh face from Illinois who should strike fear in the heart of Jessie Jackson. He gave a great speech about hope and unity with a Clintonesque cadence. He is the antithesis of Jessie’s hate, bigotry, and racism.

Ron Reagan, Jr. stayed on the designated subject of his speech on embryonic stem cell research which is better than he did on the last speaking event I saw him at, his father’s funeral. From what I have read, embryonic stem cell research offers promise for a handful of diseases mostly that involve a single type of cell like Diabetes. For Alzheimer’s, which involves many types of cells, it holds little hope. Putting aside when life begins and the abortion issue, the fundamental question here is “Does the government need to fund stem cell research?” In a capitalist society, if the return on the investment is really going to be there, wouldn’t big, evil, business and private investors be beating down the door to get a piece of the action? They aren’t, Why? Grants are hard to come by and with a limited supply of test embryos only the crème de la crème will get their hands on them and any funds available. I think I heard RR, Jr. say that it’s not a destruction of life because it never gets that far or something along those lines and then goes on to criticize the President and a large number of Americans that do believe that for imposing their religious beliefs. What does he think he is doing? A blastocyst versus fetus is a medical textbook distinction not a philosophical one. Tell a woman who wants to be pregnant that the rabbit died but it’s just a blastocyst, and to her it’s a baby.

Terezza’s film lead in puts Mother Teresa’s life to shame. Did Michael Moore produce it? Her speech sounded like an optimistic, educated, intelligent, and articulate woman. What the heck is she doing with Lurch? Then she started into the political hack crap. Lay down with dogs, get fleas I guess.

Okay, I am overcome with nausea-time for Law and Order. Thank God for reruns.
