blogspam

i'm still getting emails from people asking me to promote their website on the lawyer-love-fest i was posting at. a post i wrote months and months ago about the practical differences between a democracy and a republic brought me a blogspam yesterday. apparently thinking that a democracy and a republic are not the same things means i want to nationalize utilities.

one of my email addresses gets email every few days telling me that bush's expansion of federal government into every aspect of my life is somehow more reaganesque than clinton's failed attempts to do the same thing. reagan wasn't perfect, but he did stare down the evil empire. bush's claim to fame so far is continuing clinton's ostrich approach to north korean and iranian nuclear development. i think the rnc is smoking crack.

national review also keeps going on about how great bush is, but most of their writers advocate drug legalization as a means of improving national security. stoned terrorists are more likely to give themselves away, but we don't really need more junkies robbing people so they can get their fix. religion isn't the opiate of the masses, opium is, hence it's use as the reference point. the rnc has pretty much pissed away any reagan-based loyalty i felt towards them. the first candidate in 2008 to seriously consider nuking something will get my vote, regardless of political party or target.

Goe, not doing much to pimp his own blog, not doing anything to pimp yours.
