there's a lot of damn liberals / who have got too much freedom

[rone]

The Republican Nat'l Committee asked 250 TV stations to pull a MoveOn.org ad on "soft money" grounds. Irony... it's FAN-tastic.

Also: Standard & Poor's demotes Sun's credit rating to "deliquescent turd".

That shit sucks you fag

I mean, yeesh, google is that way (http://www.google.com), you lazy guttersnipe.

kid: Hey! Who left all this garbage on the steps of Congress? 

rolled up amendment: I'm not garbage. 
 
(singing)
I'm an amendment to be, yes an amendment to be,
and I'm hopin' that they'll ratify me.
There's a lot of flag burners who have got too much freedom.
I wanna make it legal for policemen to beat 'em,
cause there's limits to our liberties.
'Least I hope and pray that there are,
cause those liberal freaks go too far.		

kid: Well why can't we just make a law against flag burning?

Amendment: Because that law would be unconstitutional.
But if we changed the Constitution...

kid: Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!

Amendment: Now you're catching on!

Kid: What if people say you're not good enough to be in the Constitution?

Amendment (singing):
Then I'll crush all opposition to me,
and I'll make Ted Kennedy pay.
If he fights back, I'll say that he's gay.

Congressman: Good news, Amendment! They ratified ya! You're in the U.S. Constitution.

Amendment: Oh yeah! Door's open, boys.

It's called a "paraphrase", you purulent sack of sewage.

I am once again misled by my own trenchant fingers.

on to being substantive

Well, fuck. Last i checked, the RNC isn't in charge of determining whether or not the freaks at moveon violated campaign 'finance' 'reform'. They can snitch to the FEC if they like, but sending ominous letters to moveon accomplishes nothing except giving moveon exactly the sort of 'OMG BLANKET OF FEAR NAZI GERMANY LOL' ammo they are using now. What a bunch of fucking imbeciles.

And, of course, the ads are exactly the sort of free speech that is abridged by mccain-feingold. all the hot air about 'omg evil kkkorporations have too much sway' and 'money isn't speech' boils down to exactly this -- a political group, arguably grass-roots, pooling the efforts of individual citizens to take out ads whose content is and ought to be protected political speech, may actually be breaking the law. That's pretty screwed up -- not saying the moveon ads violate mccain-feingold, because I'm not sure of the content of the law or of the ads. But just the fact that there's reasonable doubt over whether or not speech is allowed -- political speech, at that -- is pretty sickening. The Dems were the big push behind McCain-Feingold, okay. But the Rep-controlled legislature passed it. The President signed it. The Supreme Court okayed it. All three branches are, on this matter, in huge dereliction of their sworn, sacred oaths to uphold the Constitution, or at least not piss in its face.

Damn, I sure wish there was someone else to vote for. (don't blame me! i voted for kodos!)

Right, i'm not saying that MoveOn is or isn't being bad, i'm just laughing at the "pot, kettle, black" situation.

This is now my favorite financial term ever. Almost makes me wish I still worked at money.com.
