Gap Of Pertinence

Here's one of the blurbs from google news, which I use as a home page. There was a slew of stories very briefly about the large energy requirements for Al Gore's house being his Inconvenient Truth. Big deal is my response, and judging by how quickly it fell off the radar, most people felt the same. My favorite listing I assumed to be a reactionary corporate kiss up, but that is my own stereotyping of a Tennessee radio tv station. Local Research Group Calls Al Gore Hipocrit - WKRN. Typical level of conservative education. Two misspellings in a single word, for a headline. Heck, we all misspell on occasion, generally from forgetting to do a spell check, and rereading. Actually, most of my misspellings are typos which result in correct spellings of the wrong word.

Speaking of hypocrites. How about Justice Kennedy's response to the challenge to Bush's Faith Based Initiative.

"We would be supervising the White House and what it could say, who it could talk to," Justice Anthony Kennedy said. He said that type of oversight would be "quite intrusive."

Not only is it a ridiculous statement, which shows utter contempt for the American population, which given the conservative sway in this country may well be justifiable. Come on Justice Kennedy, you don't actually believe challenging an attempt to abrogate the traditional and precedent ridden notion of separation of church and state would be intrusive, you just want to crown the bush baby King Of The Universe. If ever there was an administration that needed intrusive oversight, it would be the vile creatures currently running the US into the ground. And this certainly is not as intrusive as the white house's oversight as practiced on our own citizens. If anything, public servants must be subject to more stringent and intrusive oversight than the average citizen. Otherwise the average citizen becomes a subject to the ruling class.

Here's another gem I found at Badger Blues. It seems a republican running a smear campaign for mayor is whining because of the dirty attack campaigning of his opponent. It seems the democrat actually called him a republican in public.
