I'm Baaaack

Well, that was a while, wasn't it? I haven't posted anything since early December. No reason for it, the muse simply failed to strike. Okay, the muse is back, inspired by the Dem's loss in the Massachusetts special election.

Before I get to my comments, first, let's set the stage. Ol' Swimmer Ted, finally receiving a little of the karmic redress he's so dearly deserved, for so many years, contracts brain cancer. I read somewhere, and I hope it's true, that the type he had was particularly painful. It cannot undo anything the murderous, treasonous swine did in his long and infamous senate career, but it puts a little into the payback column. I just wish I could believe, as Emperor Misha does, that there is a Hell, a place of fire and brimstone, where the Drunken Lifeguard will spend eternity roasting on a spit...where the spit is "Satan's barbed cock," and the lecherous loser is rotating on it about his rectal passage. Unfortunately, I can take no solace in that. Ahh, well, as I say, at least he died in pain.

In addition, he died leaving one of his great Life's Projects incomplete. There they were, poised to pass the health care waiting list act, and Buick's worst spokesman up and dies. Now they have to fill his seat. Fortunately, Massachusetts law requires that (a) an empty federal senate seat be filled by Gubernatorial appointment, and (b) Mass has a Democrat governor.

Oh, wait, no, (a) is no longer the case. In 2004, when it looked like Johnny Treason was going to unseat Bumbletongue Bush for the presidency, the Mass legislature changed the rules. See, they had a RINO governor at the time, and a thin senate majority. If Romney had the power to appoint the new senator, he might appoint a Republican, thinning (or erasing, I forget) the Dem majority. Guess who urged the legislature to make the change. That's right, Treason Ted himself.

Fast forward; Chappaquiddick Ted is dying, and the Dems have a 60 seat supermajority. So old "I never drink my scotch straight up, I always mix it...with vodka" suggests the state house change the rule back. The optics of this are terrible, and hell, it's Mass, which hasn't elected a Repub to national office since the Medieval Warming Period, so, no change, and they have a special election.

The candidate for the Dems, Martha Coakley, is a disaster. And should probably be in prison for prosecutorial misconduct. But, she has a "D" after her name, and she does have statewide recognition, having been elected to statewide office. The Repub's candidate, Scott Brown hasn't these advantages. He does however, come with his own advantages, namely, Martha Coakley and pResident Uh-bama.

Long story short, for the first time since dinosaurs walked the earth, Massachusetts elected a Repub. Result, the Dem supermajority is gone, and Kennedy's pet project is in serious shit, in fact, probably toast.

Oh, lord, the irony is so creamy and rich I, in Ace's formulation, want to whip out my balls and dip them in it.

A few years back, during a spat between the Dicksuck Chicks and Toby Keith, there appeared a tee shirt for Dipsy Slut fans, the not too subtle FUTK.

I'm thinking we resurrect those letters. And rejoice that, hopefully, evil two tiered American health care continues to exist, so that cutting edge medicine continues to advance, and there is a pressure outlet for all the crappy socialized medical systems. And, what the hell, it will make Canadians happy, since they'll still have the existence of our piss poor socialized medical system to help them fell superior to Americans.
