At a message board I frequent there used to be a Conservative poster who would reply to anything anti-war or anti-death penalty as being a hippie proposition and then he would go on an extended rant about hippies and soldiers who were spit on when returning from Vietnam. I thought he was absolutely nuts and it’s hard to disagree, given that he had paranoid delusions about hippies behind every corner. That said, a Kentucky newspaper is running an op-ed with the headline Hippies still trying to ruin the country and it’s a delicious read, if you like the taste of vomit creeping up your throat from laughing and gagging at the same time.

Good political news today: Democrats are planning a series of ethics reforms, and that’s always a good thing. If they don’t get these reforms passed through both Houses of Congress they’ll lose them both in 2008, and they’ll deserve it.

Short and sweet today. Like me. (I recently came to terms with the fact that I’m five foot seven and always will be.)
