Of course we thought Al settled this long ago...

And now the house is mucking along attempting to claim that if you aren't writing for profit you don't count! Yikes!

Authentic Politics

Posted by Charles Faris - December 21, 2006 at 9:45 am
so the lumbering giant is starting up presidential politics again and we all know what that means to the rest of the world. i had a few misgivings last time around about al's support for the guy that lost, but i liked his running mate, he seemed like a straight shooter with an open mind. now it looks like he is making a move to change the entire political field...a politician talking aobut conditioning and authenticity?

"we're so conditioned. we're conditioned to say the same things, we're conditioned to say what's safe, we're conditioned to be political, and it's hard to shed all that. i can be in the middle of being what feels real and authentic to me and i'll get into a little reel in my head; i can see it happening and i have to pull myself back out."

jeez...a politician talking about the genuine human condition?

please note this is not an endorsement or anything like that...i'm just interested and moved by some of this talk...i'd like to see more of it. not just by politicians, but by writers, policemen, husbands, wives, parents, children...

let 'em eat bush: an immodest proposal

Posted by Charles Faris - December 8, 2004 at 12:57 pm
yep. the dream of a liberal america is over. i'm waving my white flag high. it's time for the coasts and the cities to focus on taking care of their own. and if the heartland is so in love with republican values, well, let's let them live with them for a while. let 'em live with low minimum wage, no unions, lousy health care...all that shit the coasts and the cities have tried to legislate and even pay for...it's easy to see now why the liberals have been taking such a beating for the past twenty years...

how much are we willing to pay at the pump?

Posted by Charles Faris - May 17, 2004 at 12:08 am
this abu ghraib/guantanamo bay/haiti situation is such a load of bullshit. and if the democrats really gave a shit about the situation "overseas" even a tenth as much as they care about the situation in their own back yard then this story would have broken six months ago or never even happened at all. if they gave a shit and so paid attention. assholes. lying sacks of shit.
