The lunatics now officially own the asylum

I am sorry , dear readers, to bring up the RNC again but it's really on my tits and driving me batty. Our current government irritates me to a level of here to fore, unimaginable chaffing. Not the dish type of chaffing but the, rubbing wet skin against other wet skin kind of chaffing. When I heard that upwards of six thousand police and security would be on hand for the RNC in St. Paul this year, two things went through my head. The first was the song "Police State' by Agnostic Front and the second was "Wow, this is gonna be ugly and stupid". Now, on the second day of the convention, I realize that I am right. It is bad, stupid and very, very, police statey. Amy Goodman was arrested for "interfering with a peace officer" . If you do not know of Amy Goodman, she is a writer and investigative journalist and former news director of Pacifica Radio in New York. She was arrested in St. Paul while still wearing her press passes to the RNC and, word has it, treated rather physically by the fuzz. That is a very sad part of the story, partially because, even though the press pisses me off on a regular basis, their freedom is part of our constitution and also, even though she has been through a lot of turmoil in her reporting career I am sure, I could probably tear Amy Goodman apart like a wookie that lost at space chess. She is not an imposing mountain of angry bull dyke after fourteen years on a prison barge with no company other than fat, flatulent man mounds. She is a fifty one year old journalist that hapens not to agree with the sixth reich of Reaganism that is currently in power. I just wanted to rant, because, as a writer of things that bug me, i wish to keep the freedom to write about them sacred
. Here let me leave you with a Bush quote, I believe it was March 22nd 2006

" I mean, the minute we start trying to suppress our press, we look like the Taliban."

Hey, I know who you are gonna be for Halloween, Osama Bin Login' . Sorry, that's a Northern Minnesota joke.

Did I ever tell you guys how much I hate stupid people?

Good night and good luck.
