RUSH LIMBAUGH'S FAT HEAD MAY EXPLODE... a vote for Bush is a vote against yourself...

...if he were to read and grasp this piece by Michael Kinsley. And I wish he would do just that.

Well, well...you know how the Republi-fascist pundits are always screaming about how some stupid detail of some insignificant story "isn't reported in the media" even as they, members of the media, are reporting it? That's what this Kinsley piece is, except that it is being reported in the media, namely the Washington Post. But it hasn't so far been played as far and wide as say, the totally unexpected news that that Hacking guy lived up to his name with his wife (allegedly).

Because the money quote in this story completely turns the Republican claims of the last 20 (more or less) years on their ear: "...higher growth, lower unemployment, lower government spending, lower inflation and so on under the Democrats. Lower taxes under the Republicans."

The question is, which would most people prefer if these findings were widely publicized? Logic would dictate the Democrat, but since most Americans are not logical (particularly the superstitious religious ones), they'll vote for Bush against their own self-interest. Because he thinks God speaks to him. And I guess they just want lower taxes for their own sake. I mean, as long as taxes are low, I guess they couldn't give a good goddamn about higher growth, lower unemployment, lower government spending, lower inflation, or any of that crap--high taxes are unamerican. And by gum, if George W. Bush, The Chosen One, says something, like say, tax cuts create jobs, then it becomes true, even if it wasn't true before he said. You see, not only is he Our Exalted War President, he is also Commander In Chief Of Magic.


And one more thing...

And the Conceptual Guerilla has been pointing all this out for quite some time, I must say...it is nice for someone with Kinsley's name recognition to point it out, though...

And this blog entry was written under the influence of "Agharta"...some of the Miles fusion stuff leaves me cold, but if you just let it wash over you, it's very nice...
