Poor folks ought to get theirseffs a tivo so they can skip over that kinda stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I was kinda surprised by the whole Cindy Sheehan thing, too.  Not that she got tired of the thankless struggle to get us out of Iraq, so much (I&#8217;m pretty tired of it, and I&#8217;m not actually doing anything; imagine losing your kid and disrupting your entire life, only to be shit on by creeps like Rush Limbaugh, Bill-O, and the freepers), but I wasn&#8217;t aware that she&#8217;d caught crap from &#8220;the blogs&#8221; (the &#8220;liberal&#8221; ones) for calling out the spineless Democrats for their shit.  I don&#8217;t necessarily agree with everything she said (I suppose I&#8217;m a bit of a pragmatist; I can&#8217;t see voting for somebody who has no fucking chance whatsoever just to prove a point, if it means the evil of two lessers winds up winning &#8211; again), but I certainly respect her for trying to actually do something about what&#8217;s going on out there.  I don&#8217;t really read through &#8220;the blogs&#8221; all that much, but I never noticed anybody giving her shit for dissing the dems. But, anyway, I hope she can find some peace and happiness in the rest of her life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was really quite touched by dubya&#8217;s concern for Darfur yesterday.
