Helen Thomas - No Right Turn For Democrats

In case you didn't know already, Helen Thomas is a quack. I get many giggles reading her tripe!!

Among other things, enjoy the following:
"Democrats who joked about fleeing to Canada after the re-election of President Bush should stick around and stick to their values."

Personally, nothing would make me happier than to have the demorats run with their tails between their legs to their brethren to the North. After all, couldn't one make the argument that a good portion of modern day Canadians are related to the American Tories who fled the fledgling US during the war of independence??? Ergo, the two parties would seem to be related in more ways than one.

But there's more!!

"The Bush drive to privatize Social Security and his eagerness to stack the U.S. Supreme Court with right-wing justices are two instances where the loyal opposition of the minority Democratic party will be essential."

HEY! Newsflash, Helen!!! In case you haven't noticed, Social Security is getting ready to go bankrupt. My generation (genX) ain't ever gonna see it. But I'm sure that you, and your socialist values would love nothing else but to have my generation continue paying for your generation, leaving us with nothin' in the bank - why should you care, you're going to be dead!

And, oh, if appointing justices who actually adhere to the Constitution rather than make shit up as each day goes by means they're right wing fanatics, then I guess you can call me a right wing fanatic myself, you old bat.

There's more, and it's largely entertaining - if you've got the holiday blues, give it a read for a quick pick-me-up!
