"Maybe religion is wrong, but really, what's the harm?" She asked.
"Plenty," I said. "Why, I bet I could
start a weblog and update it every Tuesday through Sunday with stories of the harm religion does and offer my view on it while exposing every source through cleverly placed in-text links."
"Oh, so you'll counteract the so called 'good news' with a collection of bad news?" she replied.
"Yes, maybe I'll even come up with a clever twist on that very phrase."
'Tea party' apparently declared too stupid by 'tea party' candidates
Well, it’s official. Politicians finally have so little respect for intellect they’ve framed a political ad in the most insulting way possible: As a movie…(wait for it)…of a fairy tale.
Even the stupidest among us can see what this ad wants you to see. Democrats are witches, Republicans are somewhere, over the rainbow, waiting to take you home. I mean, they still got a few attacks on Pelosi’s character and they’re really driving the tea party rhetoric home. You could play drinking games with the buzz word codes they hit on in here. And don’t call me too sensitive if I call sexism on having Dorothy say “I don’t care about political parties…”. What they’re appealing to exposes exactly what they think of women: ‘Don’t worry ya stupid broad, just cast a vote for the Republican and all your problems will go away. Don’t overwork your precious little brain on learning about who impacts your world when you could be baking me a pie.’ It’s almost as if they’re saying: No need to look behind that curtain!
P.S. What the fuck was with Hank Paulson cast as the wizard? Doesn’t that suggest that sticking with Paulson is the way to get home? It is eventually the wizard that helps them all, right? Despite the deception, he actually does get them what they want, in a way. I’m confused.
