Okay, so Chris Muir – he of the “how many times can I get a brainstem reaction outta Spats with a picture of Sam” persuasion – did a Day By Day  strip this morning that pointed to a blogger named Cathy Seipp.  As is my wont as a King & Tyrant™, I promptly went over to check out Cathy’s fine work.
And very nearly had an RCOB moment at something of hers I read about fathers’ rights.
“You’re taking one person’s life and ruining it to make another person’s better,” says movement leader Michael Newdow, who also laments the fact that “women can choose to end a pregnancy but men can’t.”
As much as I detest Mad Mikey Newdow’s ugly face, I have to admit he has a point here.  Not that I wanna see any  abortions take place, but why can’t the father have any say in it?  It is  his DNA too, after all.
Q:  What’s the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist?
A:  There’s a difference?
Folks, Benedict Jeffords is retiring.  (And good riddance too, if you ask me.)
So who does Chairman YEAARRRRRRRGH!!! of the Demoscum recommend to take his place?
Why, the only admitted  socialist Congresscritter on the Hill, of course.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is endorsing a Socialist to replace retiring Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords.
“A victory for Bernie Sanders is a win for Democrats,” Dean told Vermont’s Bennington Banner in a telephone interview Monday.
Naturally, Dr. Howeird.  Professional courtesy, after all.  The same reason vipers don’t bite attorneys, y’know.
Reminded that Rep. Sanders is not a member of his party, Dean quickly backpedaled, explaining, “We’ve got a few things to work out with Bernie. Bernie’s not a Democrat.”
What’s the big deal, Screaming Flea?  Neither are you – at least, not in the classic sense.
Asked to explain what he needs to work out with Sanders, Dean said: “I’d rather tell him in person.”
Quite right.  It’s a little more difficult to blow kisses over the phone.
Sanders’ official party affiliation is Independent, but throughout his political career the left-wing Vermonter has repeatedly referred to himself as a “democratic-socialist.”
Despite their political differences, Dean stood by his endorsement, calling Sanders “a strong candidate.”
Refer back to the top of this post.  Differences?  There are differences?
