There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.

I wonder how much Fox News had to pay those guys to become Uncle Toms that they could conveniently trot out whenever there's a race issue to talk about to confirm the beliefs of their viewers.

I suspect they offer them roughly 60% of the usual rate they offer people like Palin or Ollie North.

You know the real reason Republicans are furious over this is because with the last remnant of the Cold War gone, Reagan has officially become totally irrelevant as opposed to merely being mostly irrelevant.

He's been totally irrelevant after he stopped being president. That was never going to stop them.

He seems reasonable enough. All he's saying is that our recent wars have been pretty hosed.

That said, I haven't even read a passage from his book so for all I know he blames war on the jews.

I'm not saying swathes of idiots don't raise up images of Reagan like his face was equivalent to the stars and stripes. My whole point was that, whatever the reality of his legacy, the far right is going to act like he's the lovechild of Uncle Sam and George Washington that hatched out of an eagle egg. Just, you know, not in a gay way.

as if all this was something more
than another footnote on a postcard from nowhere,
another chapter in the handbook for exercises in futility
Whenever I see G Gordon Liddy I'm reminded of the weird bit of trivia that Al Franken considers him a close personal friend. I remember in the Air America Days Franken would mention that quite a bit, usually in the context of "see these two sides who have nothing in common ideologically can get along."

Whatever the deal is with that friendship, it led to one of the funnier moments I heard on AA, when Franken had Liddy on the line (the two had radio shows at literally the same time, like the same hour of the day, and sometimes they would simulcast). It went something like:

Franken: Having known you for as long as I have, and now that I work in the radio industry, I can say that one thing I truly admire about you is this talent that you have for being able to sit there behind the microphone and just hold forth for hours on any topic that you're given---

Liddy: You can't see my face right now but trust me, I'm beaming.

Franken: --without having the slightest idea what you're talking about.

Liddy: Oh.

That sounds like a pretty genuine friendship, in my experience.
