It may seem I've been on a Holy Warpath re the GOP, etc., the last few days. Well, I sort of have been. But I can appreciate humorous criticism of all political ideologies. To wit, this, via Randy (who commented, "Heh. Ouch."): Whatever: I Hate Your Politics
No, I don't know what they are. And no, I probably don't know who you are, either. Really, those two points are immaterial (no offense). As it turns out about, about 46% of you are liberal, 46% of you are conservative, and the rest of you just want your guns, drugs and brothels (here in the US, we call them folks "libertarians").
Each of you carries baggage from your political affiliation, and all of that baggage has a punky smell to it, like one of your larger species of rodent crawled in and expired in your folded underwear. Listening to any of you yammer on about the geopolitical situation is enough to make one want to melt down one's dental fillings with a beeswax candle and then jam an ice pick into the freshly-exposed nerve, just to have something else to think about. It's not so much that politics brings out the worst in people than it is that the worst in people goes looking for something to do, and that usually ends up being politics. It's either that or setting fires in trashcans.
In the spirit of fairness, and of completeness, let me go down the list and tell you what I hate about each major branch of political thinking.
Followed by a very amusing dissection of Liberals, Conservatives, and Libertarians. Worth reading in these troubled times.

Thank you for making me laugh at myself. I am one of those libruls who could stand to lighten up.
On Sunday we'll know if we Canadians are heading for a fall election. Like your country, we have to make a decision about whether we're going to swing to the right or pull more towards the center.
I hope we head to the center, but there are no guarantees.
We're living in such interesting times.
I see enough of myself in all of those categories to find it greatly amusing.
