No Replacement For Displacement

I'm back

OK, I've been bad, I haven't posted in over three weeks, and everytime something else hit the news, I would say to myself, "Gee, there is something else I have to write about, and I started to despair as my "catch up with what's going on now" post was starting to reach den Bestian proportions, and from there, it was getting up into the realm of Dickens and Tolstoy. So, for all those of you who wondered what happened,mea maxima culpa. Since I'm also lazy, I'll give a bunch of quick points about what's been going on(since you've probably been reading other blogs, this is probably all old hat:

1. Trent Lott: Well, now we Republicans have our own Clinton. First he makes a veiled racist remark, then he shows he has no concept why what he said was a bad thing, then he does the apology du jour route, then he abandons every single Republican principle so he can hold onto his Senate seat. A large part of the conservative movement wants him gone, but a few want him to stay, saying that Democrats let Bob Byrd off for being a Klansman and saying far worse. There is only response to that: Just because the Democrat Party is filled with a bunch of hypocrites does not mean that we in the Republican Party should follow suit. He's gotta go, the sooner, the better.


2. Donahue Show: No, he's not dead yet. I don't even think he'll be gone in January. Donahue is right now at the Pythonesque "I'm not dead! I feel happy!" stage. If MSNBC thinks replacing him with Jesse Ventura is a good idea, they should just put up a test pattern from 8pm to 9pm EST. The XFL fiasco should tell MSNBC what a ratings draw Ventura is.


3. Iraq's document dump: After dropping that 12,000 page monstrosity on the UN's lamp, it looks like Iraq is getting advice from Clinton's Whitewater defense team.


4. North Korea and Iranian nukes: What a shock, they're evil. 'Nuff said.


5. What would Jesus Drive: With 12 apostles to carry around, that's easy--an E150 passenger van. What wouldn't he drive? That's easy too. The Hummer H2, AKA the Tahoe Hit With an Ugly Stick.

OK, I think that pretty much covers it. Now back to regularly scheduled blogging.
