But, They Make It So Easy
Today, that instead of writing about actual issues, I would instead try to write about something trivial, just like the real political writers do. I mean, it’s not like anything important is going on.
Instead of writing about politics, I’ll just take this opporitunity to make fun of people.
A couple of left-leaning websites managed to get pictures of some young conservative events. Campus Progress got some photos of the College Republican National Committee meeting in Virginia. This one is my favorite. Don’t ask, don’t tell…
Actually, I shouldn’t say that. “Don’t ask, don’t tell” only applies to people who actually sign up for the military, not for the folks who think patriotism is putting a “Let’s Roll” bumper sticker on the Japanese-made SUV that mom bought them.
A group called Fix Our Future, which seems to be a Washington based anti-Social Secutiry organization, organized a “rally.” Hard to tell whether or not they are against Social Security or for Bush’s plan, they probably don’t know either. A fellow (or fellee?) named Progrev has posted some photos. My favorite is the guy below. I think I understand the argument now: without FICA taking that big chunk of his pay, he wouldn’t be so underfed.
Maybe these guys have been breathing too much of the Republican air in the District of Columbia, but I thought that Bush’s plan was kaput. The only people that don’t know are Bush worshippers. Putting on events like this, well, I believe the scientific term is post-mortem equine flagelation.
One actual story struck me today. Apparently, Rep. Tom Davis has threatened to strip Major League Baseball of its anti-trust exemption if George Soros buys a piece of the Washington Nationals. What the heck? Have things become so partisan that you can’t even own a baseball team if you have the wrong politics?
The stated objection is that we can’t have a partisan figure owning a baseball team. Um, who is that guy that used to own the Texas Rangers?

Paul Gourley? Do you pronounce that like ‘girly’?

Cheap comment about the guy in the yellow t-shirt. What’s that old saying about the pot calling the kettle black? I seem to remember a certain Czech jersey……
