Better Dead Than Red

A feature in this Sunday’s Washington Post Magazine indicated that some people (mostly Democrats) are “settled on the belief that Bush supporters were stupid and selfish and sanctimonious, when they weren't downright religious fanatics and bigots.”

That’s perhaps the most factual sentence I’ve ever read in a newspaper.

I think the article attempted to find evidence to the contrary, but I’m not sure (who wants to read an article about red states fer crissakes?). I’m guessing that the author was as successful as the Bush Administration was in finding evidence of WMDs in Iraq.

I love it when the term ‘faulty intelligence’ can be used as a double entendre.

I’m vacating Washington this week to protest the inaugural. Okay, we’re really heading out of town for a family event, but it sounds so much better to say we are leaving in disgust. The irony is that we are going to be deep, deep, deep in red state territory. Oh the humanity!

It’s unfortunate that we won’t be in town for some of the inaugural balls. Everyone is aware of the Black Tie and Boots Gala sponsored by the Texas State Society. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) promised that this party would be “rowdy and outrageous.” Featured performers include Lyle Lovett and Lee Greenwood.

Wow. Hold me back! Did you ever think Lyle Lovett and Lee Greenwood would be associated with rowdy and outrageous? Okay, maybe as in ‘outrageously bad.’

Three other balls that are taking place this week include the Dumbshits and Morons Ball, the Stepford Wives Gala, and the Sexual Harassment Hoe-Down.
