I can't help thanking all of the witless republicans out there for providing me a daily dose of their ludicrous sophistry. From hitching their trained ponies to a worn-out grifter scamming their million$, to bewildered truckers driving in harebrained circles, and rapacious transsexuals undermining society's youth, these comical minions flutter about regurgitating absurdities a 10 year-old would roll their eyes to. When someone's picking your pocket and false pride obscures common sense, it's difficult not to appreciate the humor in conservative politics. Next thing you know, Ozzie and Harriet will be compulsory viewing while library shelves will be confined to historical archives of Readers Digest. When republican party heads and reactionary media 'patriots' begin praising murderous tyrants there's no need to send in the clowns, they're already here!
