angry

[jaina]

You all know that I almost never talk politics on this journal. But today I'm making a special exception. From the AP:

Speaking in a ballroom just a few miles north of ground zero, Karl Rove said the Democratic party did not understand the consequences of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

"Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Rove said Wednesday night. "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war."

Okay, in the first place, that's blatantly false. Blatantly. In the second place, that is a fucking disgusting thing to say, on SO many levels. It's crude. It's divisive. It smacks of opportunism. And did I mention the part where it's COMPLETELY UNTRUE!?

So, so angry right now. The whole mess about cutting public broadcasting funding isn't helping my mood, either.

Myeh. Okay, Jaina, you have my apologies for not restraining The Smartass. Should've known better. I promise to be good in future and only comment on Happy Entries.

yeah.
"only comment on happy entries."
b/c angry entries are solely intended for echo-chamber support.
God forbid anyone propose anything 'disagreeable.'
what the heck's a blog for? ceaseless pattings on the back?
if that's really what Jaina wants, fine with me. i'll honor that request.
it's not my intent to antagonize. it is my intent to defend that which i think is right vs. that which i think is wrong.
