Fairness Schmairmess - Let's outlaw ALL political talk radio.

Just to show that I'm fair and balanced, in that I hate BOTH the Republicans and Democrats, here's an Ed Morrissey post about the Demo-craps (see what I did there? "craps" instead of "crats"? Ha!) and their freedom hatin':

Once again, Minnesota's Senator Norm Coleman attempted to ensure that government would not control the content of political speech -- and once again the Democrats ensured that they could impose it. Ted Kennedy himself blocked Coleman's amendment with a point of order, and the Democrats torpedoed it in a party-line vote

I'm sorry, but has the entire Senate become retarded? Either that, or the oxygen level in the chamber has decreased to a point where their brain-cells are dying at gradually increasing rate. Because I can't comprehend how people who are supposed to be smart, can act this mind-numbingly stupid.

First, this Fairness Doctrine stuff needs to go away for good, and Coleman's bill would help accomplish that. The fact is - Limbaugh, Hannity, and Savage are popular because A LOT OF PEOPLE choose to listen to them. Simple-minded, illiterate people... but people nonetheless. It's called a Free Market, and there is nothing that institutionally brings these guys success... they just provide the pablum that people want to hear. Yes, it sucks... but so does that turd of a TV show "Two and a Half Men", and millions of people watch that crap every week. And while I wouldn't shed a tear if Hannity were pecked to death by AIDS infested pigeons, I would NEVER advocate prohibiting or limiting anything he has to say.

Secondly, I'm so tired of politicians trying to tack on pointless sh*t to legislation that has NOTHING to do with it. This isn't just about Coleman, though. They ALL do it. It's the reason why Porkbusters needs to exist, because they use the same tactic to get through their little pet projects, and funnel money to their districts. And all of that is fine, if they can get away with it. I'm just waiting for the Congressional Leadership to step-up and try to manage all this crap a little better. Make it more transparent. But I won't hold my breath.

Lastly, take for example, the complete waste of bandwidth that is the Day by Day comic strip. Chris Muir's stupidity shines through on a daily basis, as in today's strip that shows how eeeevil Hillary is totally playing into Iran's little plan. Yes, I realize that the Liberal Lesbian comic strip like Cathy needs to have an opposite counterpart, and thankfully Muir countered her unfunny leftist comic with his unfunny rightist comic. And you see... the Market works!

Pointless Posturing in the Senate

You know what's worse than the idiotic "games" the Democrats are playing in the Senate? The idiots commenting on those games.

For example, from head-idiot Michelle Malkin's blog, we get these pearls of wisdom from "TacitEagle":

Dhimmicrats are BAD for America, BAD on the defense of freedom, and on the WRONG side of the fight for justice for all.

First, notice the mis-spelling of Democrats, done for humorous effect. Republicans are original that way. But let me address the issues raised in the comment: NO they're not, NO they're not, and NO they're not. Actually, it's small-minded morons that are BAD for America. Speaking of... her "PBoilermaker":

For those that think AQ aren’t watching the treasonous MSM and the Dems without getting motivated to just keep it going a bit longer, you are dangerously naive.

Yes, because as we are all aware, they hate us because of our "freedoms". And by the Democrats and main-stream media actually practicing those freedoms, they're only serving to embolden the enemy. I'm guessing that PBoilermaker's solution for all this is to take away ALL of our freedoms, so that Al Qaeda won't hate us anymore. It makes sense when you think about it.

And finally, the idiot to end all idiots "Dersu":

Do these idiots really believe that the way to protect and defend the Constitution is to protect our troops from danger?

I say just the opposite is true, we must send our treasured loved ones to the front
of the fray. How else will our future be assured?

If you were listening to this, I'd be speechless. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Dersu is saying that the ONLY way to defend the Constitution, is to have our troops get killed. From my reading of the comment, it doesn't matter WHY they're fighting, just as long as they're DYING while doing it.

The problem with these sheep commenting on Malkin's blog, is that they can't seem to comprehend that it's GOING BADLY in Iraq. I personally think that going into Iraq and getting rid of Saddam was a fine idea, but almost immediately Bush started f**king it up... and he hasn't stopped f**king it up. Maybe a full withdrawal isn't the best idea, but what other alternatives are there? Continue to let Bush keep f**king it up? Let it just coast until January 2009, so the next President can deal with it? That seems pretty heartless to me.
