Down and Dirty

The elections are heating to a boil. The campaign ads are getting nastier than I've ever seen before. In one ad, the Republican candidate for senate in Virginia, George Allen, accuses his Democratic opponent, Jim Webb, of objectifying women in his novels. It would be devastating if it wasn't so hypocritical. George Allen has literally objectified women. He killed and stuffed one woman, eventually using her as a table. Another woman's skin serves as a lamp shade in his law office, much in the fashion of the Nazi wife of the Nazi Commander of Buchenwald, Ilse Koch. Allen uses another stuffed woman as a welcome mat.

Now, that's fucked up. Even you macaca-haters in southwest Virginia have to admit that. I mean, for crying out loud, George Allen recently fashioned a stuffed dead woman into a menorah after finding out about his Jewish roots. That's not usual for Jews, but he's still learning.


In Maryland, while you're voting, please remember that Michael Steele is pro-life on abortion (or anti-choice if you prefer), pro-war in Iraq (or anti-peace in Iraq if you prefer. When you say that you would still attack Iraq even now, that's what you're saying Mr. Steele, it's a fair characterization.), and anti-helping cure his sister's disease (or pro-not helping cure his sister's disease if you prefer).

Don't be fooled, Steele is against embryonic stem cell research, but he's not exactly sure why. He believes doing the research is murder, but it's ok for fertility clinics to dispose of the same embryos. Listen, I respect a person's pro-life position, but be consistent. It can't be murder only when it's political convenient for you Michael Steele. I'm voting for Ben Cardin.
