Truth? That's for losers and Liberals....

The biggest cause of trouble in the world today is that the stupid people are so sure about things and the intelligent folks are so full of doubts.

  • Bertrand Russell

We live in an era in which character assassination, lies, propaganda, and talking points are the coin of the realm, particularly on the Right side of the political spectrum. While politics is something I’m passionate about (in the observational, not the participatory sense), I understand that all too often it’s about small minds committing small atrocities against simple human decency. This is why I’m so excited when something, or someone, comes along that promises serious and long-lasting doses of comic relief. Though most Americans couldn’t find Delaware on a map if you held a gun to their head, many do recognize Christine O’Donnell. That many recognize her as that crazy uber-Jesus-y lady with a thing against masturbation only adds to the entertainment value. So if someone with a talent for Photoshop decides to post a picture of O’Donnell hanging with the late, great Satanist, Anton LaVey...well, game on, eh??

In a sense, I suppose we should all be indebted to Bill Maher, who’s promised to release old clips from his Politically Incorrect show featuring O’Donnell. There is no lack of them, apparently, as O’Donnell was a frequent (and somewhat unhinged) guest. Mice with fully functioning human brains? Trying to stop the entire country from having sex? Wondering why monkeys aren’t continuing to evolve into humans? Yeah, the fun just never ends, eh?

While O’Donnell’s 15 minutes will (hopefully) be up on November 2nd (current polls show her trailing by 14 points), those of us who enjoy political theater should be thanking our lucky stars. Yes, Christmas has come early this year, and I for one plan to enjoy it while I can.

Party on, Garth…. ;-)
