And how about that consumer advocate!
What’s his name, the guy who astounded the world forty or fifty years ago with the news that not all new cars built in Detroit were as safe as baby carriages, the guy who followed that paperback extravaganza with the news that not all baby carriages were as safe as you might thing, you know the guy who pointed out that it’s better not to dress your baby in highly flammable pajamas… he’s running for president on the “everybody ought to be pissed off about something and so one-way that they’re unwilling to seek solidarity on the eighty percent of things they agree need to be effectively addressed” ticket. The EOTBPOASASOTTUTSSOTEPOTANTBEA people are caucusing this week to discuss the significance of the contraction that’s stuck right in the middle of their name, and how the shortening of the acronym by omitting the letter “A” (and incidentally in the hyphenated noun “One-way”) will affect their message in the fall.

Thanks for restoring my faith in demon-ocracy. Now I can once again in my adult life be proud of … something.

Did I hear somewhere that “they” will be handing out no-bid contracts to build the next version of Diebold machines in California prisons .. or is it Ohio prisons ?
Note, mind you, the machines, NOT the software. That part is I believe handled by a different kind of no-bid contract awarded under the State Secrets Acts to Blackwater’s Enhanced Algorithmics LLC subsidiary.

terrible to have such a dark sense of humor that I find that funny!
