Dick Cheney is a Vogon

It's the only explanation that makes sense.

"Vogons are extremely ugly, extremely officious, and generally not much fun to be around. They emerged from the seas of the planet Vogsphere, and gave up on evolving there and then. Only their stubbornness allowed them to survive."

"They generally become bureaucrats in the galactic government. Their unpleasant demeanour makes them ideally suited to such employment"

Prices Matter, Not People!

"I shop at Wal-Mart (and the other big boxes) because I want cheap stuff. Human rights don't matter. Fair wages and working conditions, and especially the environment don't matter. I don't care how it affects my community or Chinese slave laborers. I got it for less at Wal-Mart!"

The Dent in Al and Tipper's Bedroom Wall

If I can't take the madness of Emperor George, I can hardly imagine how Al Gore feels. It would be perfectly justifiable for him to get out of bed every morning and bang his head against the wall.

I know I've written before about having gone through the looking glass, but I really wonder what that alternate reality looks like, the one that had Ralph Nader reconsider and support the Gore/Lieberman ticket.

The one we're living in is really too weird.

American Freedom*

I'm going to get in trouble for this one, I'm sure. But I'm wondering what happened to civil liberties.
