Yah, and they're sort of funny at first hearing or reading,
then usually my brain says "how juvenile."

Well ... sophomoric at the very best. Bv)=

Of course, the hard left ain't much better. Only more whiny.

Yah I know, glad somebody else noticed. I find that the
right comes up with better zingers though.

Well, sort of. They piss and moan more so there is more raw material to process. In the end, both sides assay out quite low-grade.

ENJOY!!!

Even worse, most of the time.
A day or two ago, Glenn Beck appeared on O'Reilly's TV show, and he was
eating a wiener.
Oh yeah, *REAL* mature, Beck.

Beck has even gone so far as to say the coming economic collapse is being prevented by Goldline.

Beck is a whore. A cheap crack-whore.

One political cartoonist who gives me good laughs is "Tom Tomorrow" over at Salon.

He zings liberals as well as conservatives, and he's funny.

OF course, it's easier than carrying on intelligent dialogue on issues before the public. since we don't want to defend
our ideas in the political marketplace we resort to insults
and other such behavior. I aim this one at both sides as
well.

Regards,
Richard
