Tasty vitriol at The Guardian (not even an Amerkan paper, for chrissakes!).
One tasty chunk
This kind of thing gives chutzpah a bad name. And yet, with this administration it is a practice with which we have become all too familiar. As median wages fall, Bush tells Americans they are better off; as the torture continues at Guantánamo Bay - the only part of Cuba Bush actually controls - he calls on Raul Castro to honour human rights; as he cuts taxes and starts wars, he calls on Congress to practise fiscal rectitude. Not content with pissing on your leg and telling you it's raining, he tries to convince you that your leg has been dry all along.
As the primary season draws to a close it has become increasingly apparent that Hillary Clinton has run her campaign with the same contempt for intelligence, decency and democracy that Bush has run the country. Like the Bush administration, her campaign has been sustained by cynicism, divisiveness and fear-mongering, leaving a toxic and rancorous rift in its wake. Like the White House, her aim has been to win at all costs. And like the White House, it has produced the same result. Failure.
And then a line that made me laugh out loud:
Clinton insists she is winning the popular vote. She's right. But only if you tally votes with the same degree of selectivity as Robert Mugabe.

If only I knew who Robert Mugabe is, I may laugh aloud also with you.
This is as good as any place to start, I guess.
This is also useful, I hope.
Jeremy I am missing so many posts because I can't add you to my reader. What gives? (Even if the answer is, "You're an idiot, SP!" that's cool, I just want to know how to keep up with you, goddammit.)
Yeah, I TOLD you you were falling off feeds. Geeeeeez.
Hilary is the devil. More and more every day I think this. Please tell me, when will it end?
