Training the remote

Over the last eight years we have very carefully trained our TV remote to change channels -- or turn off the TV -- when certain faces appeared on the screen. After last night's round of character assassination at the RNC, we're instituting another round of training so that any Republican face or commercial triggers the same response. It's not that hard -- it's all the same stuff anyway.

Sheesh. Classical politics -- if you don't have anything to say, say something nasty about your opponent. If you don't have anything positive to offer, wrap yourself in the flag. If you don't have any policies to benefit citizens, say that you're for the nation (I suppose that most voters have never read about Mussolini's fascist state and its policies.)

Enough, already. To mis-quote Flower the Skunk in Bambi, "if you can't say anything nice, I'm not going to listen to you at all." And I suppose that means that this blog will become a politics-free zone.

Obama, Biden, and a Rove-free country.
