I spent the last few years
building up immunity to iocaine powder.
This is the worst of all advice: both free and belated. And yet here it is.
Stop trying to figure out which finger puppet is working which sock puppet, which is, in turn, working which marionette.
Which super-ooper, double-reverse, triple-Rovian-head-fake-with-sprinkles is at play and just go vote for whoever you like, for reasons that are sufficient to you. Because after awhile trying to dope out which four-cushion-bank-shot is really being executed to trick me into voting for Obama, but really-really-for-real trying to trick me into me thinking I'd been duped in exactly that way…so that I’ll vote for Hillary…so that Karl Rove and John McCain can stomp over her on their way to a Third Bush Term like Hannibal on his Roman Holiday.
Or something.
After awhile it turns into this
and it becomes easy to forget just why it is we are going to the polls in the first place.
So screw that noise, vote as it pleases you, respect the fact that honest people will honestly disagree, and then whether you win with a generous spirit or lose with good grace, if we keep our eye on the ball and our foot up their ass, I’m sure everything will turn out fine.
And if not fine, then at least an order of magnitude better than the steady-plummet-into-Hell-way things have been turning out for a very long time. Which for now would be plenty good enough for me to stand up and cheer about.
Because whichever choice we make, haven’t we all already spent enough time building up our immunity to Rove and McCain powders?

A driftglass post that's not vewy vewy good? Inconceivable!!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Our boy -- the Dread Pirate Roberts -- poisoned BOTH glasses. (And don't we have suspicions of that equal opportunity poisoning??)
'Course, the best part is seeing The Sicilian croak ... mid-sneer. But, just like the broken clock that is right at least twice a day, The Sicilian DID say we should never get involved in a land war in Asia. :)
What I like best about this post is the hint that Karl Rove may NOT be the bulletproof, Neo-of-the-antiMatrix, all-powerful Turdblossom everyone fears. Toughen up, oh Onion Skin Harry Reid and Grandma Pelosi. He only surfs the shit-stream; he don't walk on water.
Now, take your iocaine pill and STFU.
ROUS's? Republicans of unusual stupidity.

Alright, motherfucker! What the fuck did you do to Driftglass!? C'mon! Where is he!? Where'd you put the body!?
Well, lately, Rove has been Mostly Dead.
In fact, viewing the rise of a black man and a white woman as the nominees of the Democratic Party, I can't help but regard Rove as the one who deserves the credit for radicalizing the electorate.
If a group of Progressive scientists had created a genetically engineered sleeper agent to destroy the Republican party, they could have hardly done any better.
By boiling the party down to its lowest common denominator, and propelling the embodiment of their ideals into the highest office of the land, to display the fruits of what they have been whining about for thirty years, Rove has created the circumstances where people have a choice of two candidates that are practically polar opposites of all the R's stand for.
And people are clamoring to vote for them.
Well done, good and faithful monster.
Funny stuff, DG. You are someone not to be trifled with!
I suppose someone with extraordinary skills could fuck things up even more than BushCo and the last two versions of Congress but I am hoping that instead of running like the devil himself was behind you back to the eleventh fucking century, we could at least try and get back to the Twentieth in the next few years. I can't say I don't give a fuck who gets us there, because I do have some serious reservations about our limited choices but whoever winds up with it better be anyone but McStain.And if we do get back the Whitehouse, I want a reality show that's on every. mother. fucking. channel, called Accountability: The Republican Tribunals.
The list of transgressions is long enough for it to last several seasons.
Inconceivable!

Uh huh,and it should be show in syndication whenever one of them gets close enough to get elected again.
You know that suddenly whats left do the rethugs will be all about impeaching Hill or Obama, on the slightest pretense.
pwapvt
Here's some additional free and belated advice: find a place to save images hosted elsewhere on your own Web site. :-D You know, because hotlinking is wrong on so many levels.
(Gotcha.)
