Post-Thanksgiving Belch

This week’s political events felt like the Thanksgiving meal from hell and it just keeps repeating. What did we eat?

Let's see...to munch whilst mingling pre-dinner we had those spicy appetizers; liberals seem to have lost the election to a boob, and the democratic party (God bless ‘em), is now desperately seeking a soul they can market.

Soup? The Republican government accused officials in the Ukraine of election fraud (as evidenced by exit poll anomalies and other irregularites). Salad? Ohio Repub.'s got indignant about a recount when the same anomalies happened in at least three states (the dressing had a nasty taste).

And that huge turkey; the Republican congress wants to block funding for countries that won't exempt U.S. citizens (like Dubya) from investigation or prosecution for actions up to and including war crimes (ka-ching!) by the International Criminal Court. It was too much to digest with that dollop of the House ethics rules-warp to protect their own little political war criminal Tom "The Hammer" Delay when he is indicted on charges of fraud. Hey, did you taste any of that what-will-they-do-when-he’s-convicted sauce?

And the desserts! Like born-again Jerry Falwell thanking God for the Republican punditocracies’ liars, hypocrites and addicts helping to get God's own out to vote. And that nut-filled Christian dismembering her own baby for, well, God (note: the topping there was the full-fat Canadian link inclusive of the mother's motive - God's voice - while American reporting-cooks used the politically healthier God-free version).

So...is the bathroom free yet?
