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.

I too got that. That's ludicrous. I didn't end up emailing back (was on my way out to work) but for god's sake, what the hell is the POINT? There were like twenty gazillion gloating DeLay emails today, and I wanted to say "shut up, it's not like we've WON anything yet, guys, quit gloating".
