Oh the Patriots have fallen like winter upon the soul. Everything gets crushed with time – even a Pats fan. Well at least Senator Specter doesn’t have to investigate the NFL, and maybe he will even spend his time actually doing something important like making sure the government isn’t spying on average Americans? Or getting the Attorney General to recognize torture! I’m feeling lousy about the loss, but I’d take Vegas’ best odds that waterboarding feels much worse.

Although he isn’t my pick for prez. I would like to give a hearty hand clap to Senator Christopher Dodd for showing some leadership and spine by threatening to filibuster the latest FISA bill which would have given the telecom industry retro-active immunity for helping Curious George & Co. with listening in on our phone calls without a warrant. Maybe Obama or Edwards could pick him for VP, or at least AG.

“Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquistion!” How easily we forget though. Do Senators Schumer and Feinstein understand that during the Spanish Inquisition both Jews as well as Muslims were waterboarded? That means the Senators would have been considered targets of the Church, who only wanted to save their souls, and make sure their conversions were pure. But today they signaled that they would vote for an Attorney General who can’t say that this action is torture. Well I hope Mukasey can tell the difference between cremation when it is done to a dead body rather than a live one, without having some briefing from the Prophet in Chief.

Our Emperor is down in the polls to an all time low. Zogby has him at 29% approval or as I prefer to frame it: 71% against the Shrub.

You ever get the feeling that our Nation has been turned inside out. Not the everyday life – but what we stand for in this world. We of Alternative America need to rally and protect our ideals from the jingoistic bastards who are trashing the Constitution. Ever notice that THEY get upset about symbolic burnings of the flag – well no one ever symbolically burns the Constitution. The present administration unfortunately is actually destroying our most precious document!
