It's the subtle things...


Something in that picture above seems out of place.

No, you say? The whole thing seems out of place? Well, let's see.

It's a political billboard. Clearly states the owner's political opinion. American flag waving in the background.

Oh, right. I see. The burning buildings in the background. Gee, I don't see the prob--

See, this is what drives me a little nuts about politics. That some schmoe with enough money can display crap like this. In this case, a man, Mike Meehan believes that 9/11 would never have happened if a Republican was the President, instead of Bill Clinton, a Democrat.

Of course, this billboard is in Florida. Where else? We need to sell that damn place to Cuba or North Korea where it won't do us any harm.

Does his argument have merit? Of course it does. It very well could be that 9/11 would never have happened if a Republican was President.

Or, perhaps, if Republican Presidents, such as Ronald Reagan and George Bush, the Elder, hadn't funded militia such as the Taliban (and it's co-horts, Al Qaeda) back in the 1980s and early 1990s, 9/11 might also have never happened, no matter who was President.

I would say the same thing if a Democrat had displayed this billboard as well, saying, "Please don't vote for a Republican." I don't think the terrorists really care who is in office. They're attacking America...the American culture, the American way of life. Mickey Mouse could be President and they'd still bomb away.

'Course, some people would say we already have a Mickey Mouse White House.

I know who Goofy is...

A Sign of the Times?

Apparently, the First Amendment is not allowed at Republican events.

Though I'm sure the Right to Bear Arms was in full effect.

The skinny: A woman was forced to leave an event in which John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States, was speaking. Why? She was holding a sign. The sign said simply, "McCain=Bush." Apparently, that is offensive.

Well, it is offensive, but that's not the point I'm trying to make here. Or is it?

Here. Watch the video...



So she was ticketed for trepassing. At a public event. On public property. Because her sign equated McCain with Bush.

Hell, if the Republicans don't want to be compared to Bush...
