Michigan senatorial candidate Rep. Pete Hoekstra -- pronounced "HOOKER," in his terrorist Dutch inflection -- went on the teevee yesterday to defend his comically racist ad about the evil lady in China or Vietnam (who cares) who, thanks to Sen. Debbie Stabenow, has stolen all of America's jobs in Vietnamese or Chinese rice paddies. "There's nothing in here that has a racial tint at all,"
Too right - and that's my new theme song. I will be moving to an island in Maine soon (I've always wanted to live on a small island off the coast of the united states - Sterling...we hardly knew ye) and there are two types of people who live there. The natives and those "from away"...fortunately, I'm marrying a lady who grew up there so even though I'm a "flatlandah, yessah", they still have to accept me.
I think James McMurtry sums where we should direct our rage very nicely:
<i>Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin Or the shape of their eyes or the shape I&#039;m in Should I hate &#039;em for having our jobs today No I hate the men sent the jobs away I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams All lily white and squeaky clean They&#039;ve never known want, they&#039;ll never know need Their shit don&#039;t stink and their kids won&#039;t bleed Their kids won&#039;t bleed in their dirty little war And we can&#039;t make it here anymore</i>
DB: I&#039;m already in a world of shit Observer: But DB...you have the love of a good woman! DB: Oh yeah. Thanks!
When I was a kid, my mom used to take clothes to the Chinese hand laundry. I was so disappointed when she never brought home any hands.
Yeah...I&#039;m simultaneously excited and terrified....but it&#039;ll be good.
too bad we couldn&#039;t put that feedback loop around their necks.
I may do that.
Well, it is a good color for her. Yellows/oranges just wash me out.
Yeah...I would pretty much guarantee it...unless they played it to mock it.

You&#039;re very welcome.
I can&#039;t snark on this...patience and the belief in the basic goodness of humanity is draining out of me at an alarming rate.

(Yeah...I know we already knew where to direct our rage. But, it&#039;s still nice to have a tune to go with that rage.)
Yeah...a little. If not for the love of good woman, I&#039;d probably be typing this from a sniper&#039;s position at the top of a tall tower.
Me play funny Me play joke Me go pee pee on your campaign.
