Newt Gingrich, Cum Dumpster

Dumpster of Cum.


Not only is he named after an amphibian, he is also a receptacle for semen. This article in USA Today reports that former Congressman Gingrich believes the 2008 Democratic Presidential ticket will include Hillary Clinton for Pres and Barack Obama for Vice Pres. Nice one, Newt, it's only what anyone with half a firing neuron was thinking since this whole race started, you fucking choad. Let's posit on how two popular candidates might team up to win the Presidency. Wow! Who couldn't see this one coming?!?

It gets better when he says that the Republican Party has three "formidable" opponents to such an unholy Hillary-Barack union. He gives Mitt Romney, Rudy Guiliani, and Fred Thompson. First off, Romney doesn't stand a chance because of his stance, or lack of a sufficiently right wing one, on abortion and gun control. Let's nevermind the fact that he's a Mormon and all of conservative America, aside the Mormons, know that all Mormons take their instructions from telepathic messages from Joseph Smith, the same way Kennedy obeyed the Pope. Second, Fred Thompson, while a U. S. Senator, gets more recognition than most because he played the District Attorney on Law and Order. Once again, nevermind the reality that he hasn't even declared his bid for the Presidency yet. Finally, we come to Rudy. Hugely popular after the September 11th attacks, he is the only serious candidate for the Republican nomination because he is the only one left standing after you weed out the undesirables. Let's just hope that his less than glamorous past preclude him from a serious run, a history I could link for you but am far too lazy/ drunk to do so. Formidable indeed.

The worst part of the article comes at the end when John Edwards, former North Carolina Senator and totally likable guy, has a nod about his fight with insurers and pharmaceutical companies. Here is a man who realizes what is wrong with the country and is confronting the issues that really matter i.e. healthcare, and is basically treated as a no-chance-of-winning oddball. All of this because he actually wants to do positive things like help out the poor, one of whom I happen to be, and provide health coverage for low wage earners at the expense of people who make more than $200,000 a year. An income which, by the way is ten times what I as the breadwinner of a family of three made last year, was given a tax break by G. W.

The sad thing in this country is that men like John Edwards and Ralph Nader, who address issues that are central to most of the 300 million people in America, will never be elected to office.

Something Terrible

Specialist Michelle Ring, 26, formerly of Chugiak AK, was killed by indirect fire on July 5 while taking a break from a patrol in Baghdad. She leaves behind two sons, Marc and Brandon, ages 7 and 5, respectively.

This is the kind of shit that makes me, a misanthropic, hate-mongering bastard, weep. Just remember that a son of a bitch who ran on a "Compassionate Conservative" agenda in 2000 and whose favorite political philosopher is Jesus is the cause of this woman's death and these two kids' lifelong misery.

Well, I'm sure she knew what she was getting into, what with joining the Army in a time of war and all that. It was her choice after all and I'm sure she had other options. Yeah, she sure did. Do you want to know why she did? To get a better life for her kids because miraculously the job at the chicken evisceration factory for a GED holder just wasn't bringing home the jack. Shit like this is too tragic to make up. Read all about it here.

Sometimes, I wonder what the historical Jesus would do if he were miraculously transported to the future to see how things turned out. My personal guess is a toss-up between committing suicide immediately or becoming severely dependent on something illicit.
