One might not believe that the Pubs are racist, murder-inciting, mob-rousing, morons. But, damn, they surely do make it hard NOT to think that most of the time.

Before recent events, I intended to write about the GOP's message problem with the headline: "Shoot the Messenger."
The adage, of course, is "Don't shoot the messenger," meaning we shouldn't necessarily blame the person who delivers bad news. For the Republican Party these days, however, the problem isn't so much the message. It's the messenger.

That was a surprise, a thoughtful editiorial from the Washigton comPost.
Oh, how different the current state of affiars might be. If only Ditka had run for IL Senate in '04.
Let's send this guy to Guantanamo. I dont know if KS has the death penalty, the AG apparantly isn't filing this as a death penalty case. But this one cries out, "fry the ba$#@rd."
