and in the interests of recognizing that there are wackos on the left as well as the right

I'm signed up on a bunch of progressive email lists, and maybe I'm just getting cynical in my old age, but they sound awfully off to me today.

Example #1: Moveon.org emailed asking me to call Rep. Cynthia McKinney to vote "no" on a resolution. Well, I could... but check the news, I don't know if she has time to fit that into her busy schedule of being COMPLETELY FUCKING BATSHIT.

Example #2: Democracy for America says Tom DeLay is being a chicken and therefore for every $50 raised today, they will send him a rubber chicken. How many fucking rubber chickens do you need to make your point? And don't you dare ask me for any more money when you're spending it on rubber fucking chickens. This shit is why people call us the party of fiscal irresponsibility.

That's the problem with extremists on both sides--although I'd rather deal with extremists who send rubber chickens than commit acts of violence. They're all batshit.

If they put their energies towards something useful instead of sniping at each other, imagine how much could get done.
