"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
H.L. Mencken

More ruminations, rambles, rants and raves from the downhill side of the mountain.

Just so you know exactly where I stand vis-a-vis today's polarized politics, let me recommend this organization to you.
 
 
And I also recommend my gentle employer to you as well. The Barnes & Noble Affiliate Network, which seemed to have stopped working, is back in operation, so the links and banners are working again.

What's the Matter with Kansas?

Thursday, May 20, 2004

by El Zorro Viejo (aka; Jim)

Roll up your pants, people, the bovine fecal matter is already getting deep in the political arena.

So, Lynne Cheney, the unofficial First Lady, has added her two-cents to the political debate. She specifically took John Kerry to task over his stand on his criticism of Bush's "No Child Left Behind". Well, DOH!, he isn't criticizing the concept, he is pissed because, after launching this with great fanfare, Mr. Bush has totally failed to fund it adequately. Therefore, lots of kids are being left behind. But wait! Bush is a fan of Left Behind. Many of his favorite advisors take the LeHaye/Jenkins take on this as being Gospel (which it isn't...see Slacktivist's take on this.)

In any event, Mr. Cheney should tell his wife to butt out lest she get splattered by the backlash she is sure to engender.
