What a pity it is that it did not.

Hewitt (who perhaps is a member of some religion) one one hand thinks that MAINSTREAM is kind of stupid, as Sen. Clinton has good chances for being the next President, and in the same time it is a reliable arbiter of good and bad.

It is not just that judeo-christian folks do not think alike, but Hewitt in the middle of his piece does not think alike with Hewitt from the opening part.

Tomah-to, tomay-to.

Not sure I agree with that. IMO the Far Right sees the late 60s as a period of excessive liberalism which mainstream America has repudiated as loopy (or worse), and so they paint anyone who is not all for making Dumbya presidente-for-life as a 60s radical.

Bonus point — as there were some literal revolutionaries in the late 60s/early 70s, so much the better to associate the obvious Marxist Hillary Clinton (who never met a big corporation she didn’t like) as a radical.

That said, I was nostalgic for the 60’s when I was in high school, and I had plenty of fellow travelers who were up for the sex, drugs & rock and roll thing; our own litte homage to the era that had just passed. Hugh is just perpetually pissed because no one asked him to our clubhouse, and he missed so, so much free love that his brain has withered from the resentment. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

As evidence, I submit the following excerpt:

And now her $5,000 bonus for every baby born –HillaryCradleCare, a boondoggle reminiscent of George McGovern’s $1,000 per person pay-off from 1972.

This is not a liberal’s targeted tax cut, but a massive expansion of federal spending –a new entitlement that no one had even previously thought to suggest!

No one except George McGovern, which you said in the preceding goddamned paragraph. How do people like this get paid to write?

Day 2. Staten Island, while a bit weird, resembled the civilized world, but, while only one day of travel away, it could as well be forgotten. This territory was evidently controlled by Muslim overlords cruising back and forth in their yellow vehicles, haphasardly kidnapping natives there, only to throw them out somewhere else. Natives seem to be inured to this barbarian opression, and were raising hands in ritual gestures of submission. When not manhandled by the Muslim, natives were under incessant observation of Orientals who criss-crossed that territory on bicycles. Make no mistake — this was Land of Terror. Not surprisingly, many natives thronged to underground hiding holes, but what force propelled them back to the surface? Hunger?

We really need some break with “bussiness as usual”.

Even so, after reading this screed, I cheered up a little. Perhaps Clinton’s presidency will not be a disaster. 6 Ginsburgs on SCOTUS — that would be nice. Doing something about healthcare — something better than nothing, I guess. Finishing war with Iraq — overdue, overdue! Not starting another war — can we really be that lucky?

Still, not a word about a serious approach to global warming.

Judeo-Christian folks, tell me: why it is wrong to be radical? Because it is not MAINSTREAM. In Sodom, mainstream tried to rape visiting angels, and radical Lot was out, out there in his silly opposition. (By the way, do you guys appreciate the nice touch, how Lot offered his daugher to be raped and that was a GOOD THING?) That said, when radicals are in majority (as Hewitt morosely suspects), what does “mainstream” mean?

You’re a cat? I thought Aussie’s were dogs?

Albeit a cat with an honours degree, although only in mathematics.

Ah, that explains it: my Aussie shepherd wasn’t the brightest dingo in the path: basic math was so beyond him. (He was a sweety, though, and deaf as a post.)

Sweet )

And sweet Jesus, there are only three real places in the United States: New York, San Francisco, and everywhere else.

Nice try, Jill.

I thought Jillian was actually quoting him.

As I read it, I was thinking “uh-oh, this is smart, funny stuff. Have we misunderestimated this guy?”

Sadly, no.

And not to dump on his appearance, but he looks an awful lot like my late Grandma.

As did I.

I’ve found it to be a generally wise policy never to click on a Townhall link.

Looks like someone is mad at the British for withdrawing their troops.

Mon Dieu.

How will the nation survive such a radical movement?
