Getting in touch with parties

Libertarian_001

T
his is a hopeless task, but I’m trying — on a Friday, of all times, my worst day of the week — to diminish some of the clutter on my desk.

I see part of it is an unopened envelope from the Libertarian National Committee, Inc. On it is emblazoned a pretty standard libertarian question:

ARE YOU FED UP?

Suddenly, I realize: Yes, as a matter of fact, I am!

So I toss it, unopened.

As an obsessive who never throws away anything, this is a major, liberating moment for me. And no, I’m not depriving myself of a source of information. I get this kind of pooge every day.

Speaking of sources of information, I got this release today from James Carville:

Dear Brad,

You know why I am always calling my friends at the DSCC before I go on the
air?  Because if you don’t have all the facts, you look awfully
foolish…

Yeah, I agree, James. But if you want facts, tell me again why you’re calling a political party?

OK, wait just a sec — won’t take me long to find some stupid Republican stuff…

Here we go: I get a release from John Boehner making responsible, tch-tching noises about this Renzi joker… followed VERY quickly by ANOTHER release from John Boehner naming John Murtha as "PORKER OF THE YEAR."

Nothing like keeping things on a high plane there, John.

Sure, I know this is a stupid post about stupid stuff, but it beats
cleaning my desk while I wait for — there they are, the rest of the
proofs
! See ya.

    Hey, check out the envelope from me. It’s in the upper left corner of the top photo.
    Padded envelope, three stamps. It will make your weekend.

    I did, Doug, and thanks; that was thoughtful — I’ve been meaning to post about it, but haven’t had a minute to go make Robert move so I can use his scanner…
    In fact, after I shot that picture, I saw that envelope and thought I might ask readers to guess which piece of mail is from Doug, and what’s in it…

    Add liar to the growing list of unethical behavior by Mr. Straight Talk. The Washington Post is reporting that McCain did meet with lobbyists Paxson prior allowing for major communications changes.

    Do you really think Hillary “I Cannot Recall” Clinton, and Hussein “Plagarism” Obama really want to raise the subject of lying?

    I’m no Obama cheerleader, but the plagarism stuff just doesn’t wash. Muller, you always come off as a thoughtless rightie just repeating stuff that Rush (or whomever) says. I guess you get points for consistancy, but you (and, granted, a few others on this blog) make my eyes roll with each and every post. Think for yourself. Try it. It feels good.

    Mr. McCallister, you didn’t really say anything.
    Obama has to plagarize. He is an empty suit, has no resume, and dares not reveal his real agenda, and probably hasn’t put enough thought into developing more than bits and pieces of what agenda he does have.
