POLITRICKS 2008: So Right That He’s Wrong…
Monday, October 1st, 2007
White women heart RUDY, their ovaries… Not so much.
The ultra-neo-conservative faction of the Republican party is scared that RUDOLPH GIULIANI might undo some of the advances in the GOP that their operatives have been able to establish during the G DUBBZ regime. We’ve all seen the GIULIANI-as-madame photos which lead us to believe he doesn’t object to domestic partnerships. I’m fairly convinced myself that most of these anti-gay opponents are closeted homos anyhoo thanks to Senator CRAIG’s foibles. So even though these chicken hawk politicos love to talk tough and wear skirts for the most part their vaginas are still only figurative.
Women however, usually have vaginas. And it’s their use of those, what I call vaginal devices, that stirs the moxie of Christian coalitions and neo-cons. Most importantly is the fight over a women’s right to terminate a pregnancy. For the last eight years whenever G DUBBZ has wanted to distract voters away from his clearly retarded foreign policy he has chosen to say the word abortion in a sentence along with the word god. This has been the equivalent of cat nip for the majority of conservative and even moderate minded constituents.
GIULIANI has held his position as not being opposed to the ROE v. WADE decision for a long time, but now as his campaign begins to founder pre primary time he seems to be courting the neo-cons for their support. Would GIULIANI throw women’s rights under the bus the same way he threw his last family away for his current cellphone loving wife? You’re damn skippy he would!
The one thing I give RUDY credit for is the transparency of his political ambition. He won’t let ALPHONSE D’AMATO get within 100ft. of him and he won’t even take BERNARD KERIK’s phone calls. Ultimately I hope this blind blonde ambition is what derails this schmuck. When national voters see that he stands beside everything, therefore he stands for nothing, maybe the use of 9-11 as a scare tactic will be diminished. I understand that’s still a stretch since G DUBBZ invokes the same images when he’s busy undermining the national economy.
Is America ready for an unsexy president? I pray that all the voting vaginal devices just say no.
Philadelphia Needed To Win One… Badly.
Monday, October 1st, 2007
Bigger than the collapse of the Mets is the ascendancy of the Philadelphia Phillies. They have shown a resilience that their beleaguered city is desperate to witness. The horrible poverty that has devastated Camden New Jersey has bled (literally) into the city of brotherly love [ll].
In 2006 Philadelphia had the worst murder rate for any large city and that includes America’s most hardbody city, Detroit. This year has already been even worse in only the first nine months. This is why I am happy for the Philadelphia Phillies and I hope that the Eagles can get their shit together as well. If Philly has something to divert their attention from the encroaching poverty and loss of economic opportunities maybe the tide of violence can be stemmed. Philadelphia’s sports teams must do something positive before basketball season begins and the Sixers start sucking the life out of the city. By the time Thanksgiving rolls around it will be way too late.
In the meantime we need to examine how we can proactively (no P Diddy) control the violence in our neighborhoods. It used to be good enough to build a few more basketball courts and have a few more block parties but those times are past tense. People in the centre city need real solutions on rebuilding their communities. To me this means vocational training that deals with repairing the crumbling infrastructure within the centre city. Enough money has been spent on rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan and Darfur and where the fuck ever. We need to rebuild America.
That’s the team I’m rooting for.
