Actor turned wingnut (and fellow UB alum, though he actually graduated, unlike me) Ron Silver died of esophageal cancer. I think he choked on Republican talking points, which stuck in his craw, festered, and turned cancerous. Say what you want about him, he was pretty good as the unscrupulous campaign director on the West Wing. Major asshole Frank Luntz has a stirring tribute. :barf:

More shocking news over the weekend: the Republicans don’t have a plan to fix the economy, but they still think the Democrats suck.

AIG is taking our money and using it to pay huge bonuses to the people who ran the company into the ground. It’s OK, though, since they’re not auto workers, and most likely deserve it.

Dick Cheney again says Obama’s gonna get us all killed. :yawn: Oh, and he and president dummy shouldn’t get any blame for flushing the economy down the toilet, ‘cuz they were busy fightin’ evil doers and such. Hey Dickie, you can watch some of the people whose lives you destroyed getting evicted from their homes, right there on your teevee. Go fuck yourself, Dick. Oh, and shut the fuck up, ‘kay?

David “squeaky” Frum says attacks on Michael Steele make him sick. Funny, listening to David Frum makes me sick.

Great weekend this weekend. Warm and sunny, with an even warmer and sunnier week ahead. Have a good one.
