Read 'Em, Please

Jay Tea at Wizbang! must have had some time on his hands last evening, for he produced two great posts that I wish I'd written.  The first discusses the reprehensible actions of Mike Rogers, indefatiguable warrior in the fight to keep all gays toeing the line.

The third thing I'd think of is I'd start remembering a bunch of the standard liberal talking points. President Bush and the Republicans want to wiretap everyone without search warrants, the NSA is secretly tracing and recording every single phone call in the US, the whole notion of privacy is being eroded in the "war on terror" -- so we should immediately support the party that has its people investigating and revealing details of people's sex lives? I think I'd PREFER that the government know about my phone bill than my sex life. (Such as it isn't, currently.) Hell, I'll gladly e-mail them a copy of my cell phone statement every month if they promise to stay out of my bedroom.

Iowahawk addresses this issue as only he can, in a letter from DNC chairman Howard Dean.  Best satire on the web, period.

Despite what you may have heard on Fox News, we Democrats know what issues are on the minds of heartland conservatives like you. We know that your number one concern of is the safety of  your children -- whether they are plucking their banjos on the back porch, speaking tongues to snakes at Jesus Camp, or torching crosses at your local Nascar racing contest. We also know that the number one threat to your children's safety is the scourge of international homo-ism. That's why we at the DNC have created "The Contract With American Hillbillies," a new multipoint investigation program to identify and root out conservative stealth homoism before it threatens you or your precious little inbreeds.

The second discusses the election shenanigans by Democrats in Florida and Texas vis a vis the historical context of the New Jersey senate race and Al Gore's Florida quest.  The title says it all.

It's all fun and games until someone loses a Constitutional right

OK, this is disturbing. I wrote 4 pieces for publication today, but I actually wrote 2.5 of them last night -- and somehow you KNEW I'd done that.

The only reason I'm not reporting you as a stalker is that the "fun and games" one was written this morning. True, I'd been working on it in my head for a couple of days, but I didn't actually start composing it until about 6:30 this morning.

You missed a pretty good get-together, Giacomo. Hope to see you at the next one.

Hey, I pay attention. I've seen your posts explaining that you often write your posts the night before and then schedule them to post at specific times.

Or, forensically, I could just notice that your posts tend to be timed 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Nobody could be so damn precise.

I'd love to be at the next one - schedule allowing. It sounded like a great gathering.
