    Good old Dan Savage. His previous meme was to create a definition for the word "Santorum" that would appropriately honour the senator of that name.

    If you haven't heard of that one, just Google "Santorum" -- it's the first result. However, it's not for the squeamish -- If you think you might be offended by it, then you probably will be.

    Oh yes, santorum. Disgusting, but well-deserved.

    I have my issues with some of Dan Savage's politics, though. He's a leader in the "blame Nader" camp, and feels anyone who doesn't support the Dems, no matter what, is a traitor.

    It's hard for me to understand that, given what little the Democrats have done for us.

    But I love his column, of course.

    Click on it? What a novel concept. I must have been really befuzzled yesterday.

    I clicked. Funny that I got the mf right but couldn't figure out the rest.

    I was telling my daughter J about this yesterday. She thinks the acronym is kind of lame. "No one will know what that means, and isn't the point to get people to think? " she said. Nope, not in this case. In this case, I get to be part of a really club and maybe I'll run into other people with ITMFA gear and we can wink and smile at each other.

    But I will never wear a santorum t-shirt. Just thinking about santorum actually makes me physically ill -- both the frothy mixture and the senator. OTOH, as you say, he deserves it.

    Amazingly, the senator nauseates me more than the substance. Although I must say your use of the word "frothy" gives it s special stomach-turning kick.

    Oh, I can't take credit for "frothy." I think that is Mr. Savage's word.

    You're right about Santorum; he's far more disgusting than any substance. Anyway, who am I to judge other people's substances? But Santorum? Him I'll judge.

taking it

In comments here , James brought up an interesting piece. One of the most common questions I hear up here when yet another example of Bushian idiocy, incompetence, or corruption shows up is, "Why aren't people more outraged by this down there? Why isn't anyone making a fuss?" From up here, it often looks like almost everyone's going along with Bush, though that's certainly not the case. Of course, one of the big reasons for that is that the major news networks don't think it's newsworthy when people do make a fuss. But serious opposition to Bush and his policies is almost invisible up here, except to those who make a special point of following US politics from a liberal perspective. I hear this a lot, and it drives me nuts. Millions of Americans are making a fuss. I know because I used to be one of them. Here's my reply in that same thread: A fuss? We were - oh, that's "they are" - making a huge fuss. But the Bushies control all bra...

pity the 1%

"Cash bonuses on Wall Street are expected to drop by 14 percent during this year's 'bonus season'." Only 20 billion dollars will be doled out, with the average bonus totalling $121,000. How sad. That's billion, with a B. Bankers' trophy dates are sad, too . Be sure to click - and read to the end for maximum impact.

in no way threatening to me

Thanks to ALPF, I have learned that another American war resister is seeking asylum in Canada. I am so out of the loop, lost as I am in the ancient world . Good thing you guys keep me informed. US Army Pvt. Brandon Hughey, 20, told the [Canadian] Immigration and Refugee Board that he refused "to kill people or lose my life under false pretenses." Hughey said he believed the war in Iraq was illegal and his conscience obliged him to desert his Ft. Hood, Texas army base last year. He said when he joined the military at 17 he was looking for a way to put himself through college and respected the military. "I believe some things are worth fighting for, like defending my home and my family," Hughey told the board. "I had no moral objection to fighting back then. In some circumstances, war can be justified." He believed US President George W. Bush had proof that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so he initially supported the war. But he later deter...
