Swamp Musings

Spent a bit too much time surfing the lefty blogs yesterday, even caught up with Wonkette's and felt unclean. Seems they have been refining the favorite liberal hobby.



Poor lefties. I'm sure by now you've read about Kerry supporters seek therapy in South Florida.

More than a dozen traumatized John Kerry supporters have sought and received therapy from a licensed Florida psychologist since their candidate lost to President Bush, the Boca Raton News learned Monday.
Boca Raton trauma specialist Douglas Schooler said he has treated 15 clients and friends with “intense hypnotherapy” since the Democratic nominee conceded last Wednesday.
“I had one friend tell me he’s never been so depressed and angry in his life,” Schooler said. “I observed patients threatening to leave the country or staring listlessly into space. They were emotionally paralyzed, shocked and devastated.” (snip)

Wonder who's paying for all this?


I found the Generosity Index from the Catalogue For Philanthropy so interesting I made a red/blue table by ranking. Having a batch of New Hampshirites locally, I can believe it! Just goes to show the Dem's want to give away YOUR money, not theirs.

...and, we've got to have a little update about our favorite Nobel Laureate butcher. The highlight is mine.

Arafat Unplugged? http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=6759644

French doctors are carefully watching terrorist leader Yasser Arafat; if his condition improves significantly, they may be able to pronounce him dead today. As Reuters puts it, Arafat's "fate" is "mired in confusion":

*** QUOTE ***

Several Palestinian sources said Arafat, 75, had succumbed to the mystery illness that led to his being flown to Paris from the West Bank on Oct. 29 but a source close to the French medical team treating him said: "Mr. Arafat is not dead."

"He is dead," one of the Palestinian sources said in Paris. Another official close to Arafat said: "Yes, he is dead. There will be an announcement soon."

But Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath told CNN from Paris that Arafat was alive and no decision has been made to take him off life-support.

*** END QUOTE ***

I'd like to propose that they take his sorry carcass, wrap it in a class one body bomb, install it in a junk bus, then splatter his ass all over a worthless piece of the "Palestine Homeland". The area demarked by the radius of the debris could be held in perpetuity as the Yasser Arafat Memorial Peace Park.


This is a pretty good rehash of what we've had to live with this election cycle. Lots of good links as well if your heartburn and nasty habit of returning all those request for donation postpaid envelopes from the DNC with RNC literature has died down.

Time to get back outside and pick away at the mess for a while. I'd grouse about the hoof but it wouldn't do a bit of good. It's keeping me grouchy enough that the Bogdaddy Election Reform Bill has now mandated the cloning of al Zark to punish offenders.
