Nobody told me today was Stupid Patron Day!

EPA won't limit rocket fuel in U.S. drinking water

Dear Friends, Readers, and Blog Trolls,

I have noticed a sharp increase in anonymous vitriolic comments to some of my political posts this election cycle.  I don't know if it is because the writers are so afraid that a brown man will become our next president or if they are all just hateful scum looking to get a rise out of a very-small-time progressive girl blogger.

Here are some examples:

She is all about banning books and thinks Jews should accept Jesus.  And she just plain disgusts me.   The Republican Party should be ashamed for picking her for McCain's #2.  Anybody would have been a better and more qualified choice.

Dear MoveOn member,

Did you watch Sarah Palin's speech last night? The speech told us a lot about her.

It told us that she can distort the facts and deliver mean-spirited zingers with the best of them. It told us that if Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter ever need a stand-in, she'd be a great pick...
 

Seriously?

I hate this fucking guy.  When's January already?

This opinion piece appeared in my local paper on Sunday.  It made me so mad that I wrote a letter to the editor about it:

As a former community organizer and Democrat, I was deeply offended by Richard Impresa's opinion piece, "Obama's un-American mentors."  I'm not even going to touch on Mr. Impresa's tired and sad repetition of over-used anti-Obama rhetoric.  What really made me want to cancel our family's subscription to the paper was Mr. Impresa's slam on Barack Obama's roots in community organizing.  What is so un-American about community organizing, sir?  Community organizers dedicate their lives to energizing a base of people, mobilizing them to act positively in their neighborhoods and out across the country, and excite an otherwise disengaged electorate.  Our democracy fails without the participation of our citizens. If we are ill-informed on the issues, don't pay attention, and don't vote, things don't change and the status quo isn't very good.  Community organizers work tirelessly in the best interest of our country and for the change it needs to be the greatest country in the world.  If Mr. Impresa would like to find something un-American to harp on, I think he needs to point his fingers someplace else. 

"Jon Stewart, in his now famous Crossfire appearance, told the hosts of the then already long-since-decayed show that they were hurting America. It was not brilliant, or inspired; it was simply the truth, plainly spoken, which is the job our designated jesters have been tasked with for hundreds of years. For American political coverage, politics has become meta-sport: the actual results of governance matter not a goddamn ounce, only the arguments matter. Crossfire was not a politically serious show; it was reality television for the soulless walking dead of politics, those paid creatures that exist solely to promote Their Spin on Their Issue. There is no plot; there is no character development. There is never any evidence that, when later presented, results in one side or the other admitting error. It is a high school debate club gone tired and sour and aged. And the destruction of Crossfire did nothing to solve the problem, because every droning guest found ready refuge on a dozen other identical programs. America has been reduced to two disembodied heads, shouting at each other, while a steady stream of graphics drifts across the screen on all sides, the electronic equivalent of jingling keys for a toddler."

Amen.

I just....zsdkjsdkjaguhgskjlagsjkbv!!!
