Boner

Sung to the tune of "Bingo."

I had a dog with a big ol' dick
and Boner was his name-O
B-O-NER
B-O-NER
B-O-NER
and Boner was his name-O

His dick was pink
pink and thick
and Boner was his name-O

OK, who wants to help me with the next three verses? I can't help it if I wake up with these classic tunes in my head. Then I spend five minutes reading the New York Times in the morning, and all the joy gets sucked out of my life. There was a lovely article about the damn white evangelicals supporting Israel blindly, encouraging the Olmert Reich to kill kill kill. Does anyone give a rat's ass about the latest massacre in Beit Hanoun? No. And the Democrats are tip tip toeing around our impeachable president and talking about "winning" in Iraq. Everyone and their dog is working for the terrorists. They just don't know what a terrorist is. Boneheads.

Win or lose?

I figure there are two ways to look at this election victory for the Democrats. Either they won the requisite number of seats to take over the House and we can hope, the Senate, or the Republicans lost those aforementioned seats. There is a difference. If the Dems continue to futz about and base their party's platform on shapeless and ill-defined policies, we may just get another damn Republican President in 2008. Bush will not get away with attacking Iran now, and he may find that by making nice and listening to some reason, the world isn't half as scary as he'd like us all to believe. It could be an interesting two years. I think that it is going to be better, even if it still sucks. Suck lite I suppose.

There was an interesting article in the Nation the other day pointing out that fundamentalists are just as likely as anyone else to vote Democratic. That's because the black folks tend to gravitate to the four square type of church and they also tend to avoid voting Republican. Its time for the secular yuppies to get of their high horses and stop yapping about dumb religion ruining everything great about America. Religion has its problems. But selfishness is an equal opportunity fuck-up. The day I see someone sacrifice their Hummer in a fiery display of martyrdom (kinda goes against fighting global warming but it would make the news I bet) is the day we reach a tipping point in civility in the culture war. It's time to go met the neighbors, even if they are certain Jesus walked on the water.
