Great satire!

this is bound to cause confusion.........

What have you done to Mike?
From Jon Swift's blog..

In fact, the more one looks at the evidence that Craig seems to be gay, the more one can see that it is really just evidence of being conservative. There are many attributes of conservatism that seem really gay and unfortunately the more we deny that we are gay, the gayer we seem. This incident should put a chill in every conservative who has a "wide stance" or belongs to a barbershop quartet.

Conservatives are very friendly, open people, the kind of people who make eye contact for longer than some people might find comfortable, so it is easy to see how this could be misconstrued by a gay man looking for love from a kindly older man.

Well done!

Hiya mudkitty! It ain't Finnigan, I am bookmarking Jon Swift, this guy is hilarious. You are right though, Mike is funny.

Republicans are also light-years ahead of Democrats in terms of advanced voting tactics (e.g. stealing elections, voter fraud, etc).

I still don't get the whole left wing/right wing thing,... space is mapped in three dimensions, not a single line.

I'm a 38 year old divorced post punk artist who thinks ALL marriage should be illegal, (53% failure rate, obviously hurting the economy) politicians should have to wear shock collars like dogs inside an invisible fence, & have to ask permission from their constituents to use the bathroom, all churches should be taxed heavily & have quotas on services to the homeless, incarcerated & the sick, & I own guns.

I imagine I fall so far off the political compass that new maps would have to be drawn.

So, that "Why Do the Terrorists Want to Hurt Me?" cartoon . . . is he joking or serious?

To Jon,

I think it was very "open-minded" of you to take on this task of doing Mike's roundup.
Did you have to take a show after you were done? Kinda like in the "Crying Game" movie.
But really, I do appreciate your insight and the way you connect things at your blog.

For example, "if Hitler's mother wanted to abort him, would you drive her to a Planned Parenthood clinic or counsel her to keep the baby?" This part from Columbia university's former Dean and the questions he put forward on Fox/Faux News were quite stimulating.
I will say that even I was somewhat hesitant to read your post, but I feel that I am learning now how to meet the conservatives at the middle. However, I would not be so bold as to ask them to meet me at Ground Zero. I just don't think that would help the, (I'm more of a Patriot than you could ever hope to be), situation.

With that said, I look forward to moving through all your links posted in the round-up. I feel secure in knowing that if I need to ask you for some "Duck Tape" you would share some with me.

Thank you again!
Yours Truly,

Well done, Mr. Swift!

Quick point on the Jena 6-

I got most of my information from youtube. I just put in a search on the topic and retrieved these;

We really can not drop the ball on the issue of Racism! Keep this stop on top and keep calling your representatives. Tell everyone you know where they might get the information about "The Jena 6".
On the topic of this in the round-up, we need to tackle the "Why We are Afraid to Discuss Issues of Racism"! Thank you again Jon.

P.S. I think I will just read the rest of round-up and the links. It can take a lot of time for each issue.

There is a new 3-axis map. It was posted here a while ago, and you could test yourself. I was in the same quadrant with Dennis Kucinich (post test). He and I were the only ones there. All the other politicians were in the neo-nazi quadrant. I'm exaggerating here, of course, but...

If I gave you my bio, one might wonder where I fit too. Parts of me are ultra-liberal to the point of anarchism (seriously) (and I loved some of your suggestions). Part of me is conservative, very traditional, and thinks etiquette should be taught in schools; starting from kindergarten.

Archibald Campbell is exactly the reason the right-wing-ocrats needs to be shot and pissed on. I hate pwecious, pwecocious children for starters, nevermind that hateful propaganda in his cartoon. Certainly no parent should subject their child to such RUBBISH.

Shame on you Kos, MyDD, Huf Post,and all the usual suspects. You guys had a chance to step up to the plate and show us that you are our friends and you came up small. I expect this kind of treatment from the folks on the right, not you guys. Look, I blog about the war constantly, because it's fucked up, and young Americans are losing their lives to make some fucking oil companies rich. So I understand your issues with the war, and the fact that you have to blog about it. But would it kill you to show some passion and blog about social injustice and domestic terrorism in our own fucking country? Would it kill you guys to get a fucking clue and not be so far behind the eight ball? Folks, when the gang at CNN are ahead of Markos and company on Jena, we have a problem. The entire orange crush crew ought to be ashamed of themselves.

You're a complete idiot and a liar. After clicking the hyperlink and reading your recommended "Dispatches from the Culture War [tells you] 'How To Avoid Advancing the Gay Agenda.'” and noting that you "plan to follow all of these recommendations," I can come to no other conclusion. Right wingnut Christerfascists shouldn't make such ado about how many corporate entities have embraced pluralism and guaranteed gay and lesbian workers the same company protections and perks these companies extend to their straight workers, since the list of Bad Companies on the web site you link to only leaves the reader with the inescapable conviction the "liberal" corporations are the rule, not the exception. Duh! Hey, fathead, this is America. The Declaration of Independence says, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...." It does not say, "all men, except homos and dykes...." You can't possibly "follow all these recommendations" and you probably know it. I suppose, being the tight-assed, anal retentive, penny-pinching, miserly fuck you are, you will avoid a sale touting an item you desperately need that is selling for 100X more elsewhere JUST BECAUSE IT'S BEING sold at one of the corporate stores you "plan" to avoid patronizing? Give me a break, you crypto-fascist twit! Of course, Freudian projection being what it is, you obviously hate homos, so it's a damned good bet you're a homo yourself. Hello, Larry Craig II.
