thistlechaser | Like tossing "Hitler" into an argument...

I really need to stop reading the news. It only depresses me. The only news I can watch on TV is The Daily Show. How odd is that, that the only non-annoying source of news is a "news entertainment" show? But how could any news outlet look at this stuff and not roll their eyes at it?

Once more, the House has passed a constitutional amendment to outlaw flag burning. We'll not even talk about how (bad|good) that is, this is the part that had me closing the window in disgust. Quote:

"Ask the men and women who stood on top of the Trade Center," said Rep. Randy (Duke) Cunningham, R-Calif. "Ask them and they will tell you: pass this amendment."

So "Duke" knows exactly what all those dead people would want. (Maybe someone should have pointed out that if it was those who stood on top of the Trade Center wanted this passed, they were vastly outnumbered by all of those on the many floors below?)

It's just so disgusting to throw the deaths of people into your political arguments. (Please, "Duke", tell us how the people killed on 9-11 felt about abortion, too! I bet you'd say they'd be against it! You're so wise, "Duke"!)

Part of me wants to ask how anyone can take these people seriously, but then the rest of me remembers that these people are making decisions for us. We're so doomed...

Doomed in one way or another! Hee hee. Giant Popsicle Melts, Floods NYC Park
