You know what really pisses me off?
That you can't even give your books away for free?
The fact that, through manipulation and media complicity, the Republicans set the tone for the past decade or more by altering very landscape of the discussion. They didn't approach the opposition on bended knee asking "can we have this one little thing, please? They told everyone "This is what we're going to do," leaving the opposition in a weakened position trying to defend against it, knowing that they'd have a hell of a time blocking all but the worst excesses. When they went after Social Security, they had to have known they'd never accomplish their objective. But they managed to get everyone to agree to their idea that it was insolvent and needed to be "fixed."
That's called INITIATIVE. It's the thing you lack, and which leaves you posting screeds in an echo chamber in between your analysis of hits on your webpage, desperate to see if anyone's noticing your allegories about Dick Cheney.
Now that I've had a while to consider it,
Did you get a day off? Nice.
I'm actually rather amused by the "Waaah, I didn't a pony" crowd. It's not so much not GETTING the pony that's the problem, it's the fact that we never even bothered asking for the ****ing thing in the first place. In fact, if we'd really wanted a pony, we should've asked for the whole Budweiser team we see every Christmas on TV. But no. The best we can ask for, apparently, is a stuffed pony so we can eventually get one of those sticks with a stuffed horse-head on top. And even THAT much comes with a knock-down drag-out fight attached.
You're getting flagged for taking a metaphor too far. It's partly why your prose is godawful, you hack.
Politics is the art of compromise. Well, no shit. But that doesn't mean we should come to the table asking for the very least we can possibly get. That's not compromise, that's surrender. "Oh, but they might oppose us with strong words." I hate to say it, but those assholes would oppose a measure to declare the sky blue if a Democrat proposed it. That sure as hell shouldn't stop us. It shouldn't even make us hesitate. "The sky is *******ed blue and if you don't like it you can shove it!"
Pelosi was advised that the sky is blue, but she doesn't recall it. Or wait, she recalls it, but she wanted to go through proper channels to assert it. Harry Reid might think the sky is blue, but he asserts that by accusing George Bush of thinking it's red. In any case, the sky isn't blue until The Messiah tells you it is, so STFU and go stock the dollar bins.
So what does early capitulation gain us? Nada. The damn Repugs STILL wanted to rename us the Democrat Socialist party or some such nonsense. Bipartisanship my pale white posterior. All that really means, apparently, is surrender before the battle even starts.
Why do you worry so much about what other people call you? For example, I think you're a limp-wristed, self-hating, wannabe-Clarke, fifth-rate political thinker whose life inspiration seems to come from Mike Stivic. That shouldn't bother you...does it?
You know what I think? I think our party is full of chickenshits. They might be called a bad word. One worse than "chickenshit," even. Or a word that has been ALLOWED to become bad--like "leftist." Or, worse yet, "far-leftist." Clue alert--"far leftists" have no voice in this country. At all. It's getting so bad that even the center-leftists have little more than a breathless whisper.
Your party IS full of chickenshits. Hang a gold star on Saje.
We need bold leadership and we get milquetoasts. "We wouldn't want to offend anyone." Oh, **** that. They've been offending us with impunity for HOW long? And why should asking for the moon offend anyone in the first place? What--that's only a Republican option?
Saje, let me clue you in on something: Democrats are pussies. You guys can't take a crap without consulting the polls. You're all such corrupt liars that you're too busy lining your pockets and securing your reelections to care about bold leadership. Your own President has lost his luster, and the minions in Congress are starting to head for the hills.
In the end this victory was a coalition effort. It involved center, center-left, and left-center Democrats, not to mention a few of us weird left-libertarians. We wanted change so badly we jonesed for it like a junkie for his next fix. What we got was a badly diluted product. And people wonder why some of us are just a LITTLE upset?
I think YOU'RE upset because you're a ****ing loser. I think YOU, Saje Williams, actually believe that stronger Dems in Congress would make you a happier, more effective person. Well, that's not going to happen. Sack up and try to make your OWN life better, son.
Now give me that ****ing pony.
You have the pony...it's just behind you, ramming its erect penis into your anus.
More goodness from the hippie loser (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5704145&mesg_id=5704145)

I think the legendary herb primitive's been hitting the bong too much.
He admitted he does, a few weeks ago.

You know, sir, I used to think the legendary herb primitive had potential.
I still do, but that potential's waning, eroding, with every passing day.
From his writing since he returned to Skins's island, it's painfully obvious he's trying to become the male American Nana primitive, that NanceGreggs idiot.

Mommy needs to restrict his internet usage to the cartoon network site, he can play Power Puff Girl to his hearts content.
BTW- Do you know what my sisters dog does to stuffed animals, pony or not??

Does this person really fancy himself a writer? Dreams of making a living at it? He's horrible, not marketable by any stretch. That "Pony" paragraph was just embarassing. He should also know, that vulgarities cheapen a piece; it doesn't make it edgy and cool.
What a tool. I don't even remember what his point was.

Sadly, he does. It's like a total ignoramus imagining he can be President...oh wait...
