The Left Makes Me Laugh

I am a political junkie. The section of the paper I go to first is always the op-ed section. Nothing gets the mind stirring like the free exchange of ideas. It doesn't matter if the columnist is left wing or right wing, I enjoy reading it.

Admittedly I usually end up reading the liberal columnist because I find them entertaining. I mean if you can not laugh at Chicago Sun-Times columnist Lynn Sweet then you are devoid of any humor. Her schoolgirl crush with Barak Obama has started my day for the last 3 months. The is the columnist that wrote about wanting to go into the locker room with the Senator. If she ever looses her job with the Sun-Times I'm sure she could fill the pages of Penthouse Letters with her fantasies of the African-Indian-Irish-Muslim-Irish presidential candidate. For crying out loud, the main feature on her blog is Obama's public schedule. And here you thought Eleanor Cliff's infatuation with Bill Clinton was embarrassing, Lynn Sweet verges on being a stalker!

Not all liberal columnists are nut cases. One I have great respect for is Susan Estrich. The majority of the time I disagree with her, but her reasoning is downright challenging for a conservative like me. Sometimes I find myself actually agreeing with her. I am telling you if you don't have her web page bookmark you should. In fact her column this week defending Ken Burn's documentary from the censorship of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus is extraordinary! Ms. Estrich gets it right when she states:

"Hispanic Americans have real issues to worry about in America today, starting with immigration reform, equal employment opportunity, education, health care, etc. Ken Burns is the least of their problems. And people who call themselves leaders, much less take an oath to uphold the Constitution in the process, should be expected to recognize that.

The whole incident leaves you feeling sorry for Hispanics — not because they've been left out of a PBS film about what happened 50 years ago, but because their leaders today leave so much to be desired."

How can you not respect someone that is willing to talk straight to one of the key voting blocks in the nation?

, and follow the detours of the unconscious excitations. http://startso11.info/opel+forum+24.html. What else the Colonel saw there Heaven only knows! He felt his inmost secrets plucked from http://startso11.info/fitipaldi.html him--his whole soul laid bare--his vanity, belligerency, gallantry--even his medieval chivalry, penetrated, and yet illuminated, in that single glance.. A bargain's a http://startso11.info/nelly+furtado+give+it+tu.html bargain, an' I allus stick to one I make.. As we went home, the Bredes went side by side along the http://startso11.info/hronix.html narrow path, and my wife and I walked together.. Or he was a piece of string, a rag, a willow-wand, and I had a contemptuous http://startso11.info/wy%C5%BCsza+szko%C5%82a+zawodowa+w+lesznie.html pity.. , a solicitude, and is not the very transparent father's dream mentioned above of just such a http://startso11.info/www.lm.com.html nature? From the gleam of light falling into his eyes while asleep the father draws the solicitous conclusion that a candle has been upset and may have set fire to the corpse; he transforms this conclusion into a dream by investing it with a senseful situation enacted in the present tense.. These, consequently, we have repeated in the interpretation of the http://startso11.info/www.inetcity.pl.html dream.. In this, indeed, http://rebestal.info/robert+prygiel.html there may be individual variations; some retain the infantile type of psychic processes longer than others.. No; my wife usually 'tends to the town bizness, while I run the http://startso11.info/balaton+po%C5%82udniowy.html church and farm.. I'm not hungry, mother, http://startso11.info/www.giantsblackmoatv.html was the revised edition which the freckle-faced boy offered to the maternal ear.. His mother went to him, took him on her lap, hushed him up, and began to coax http://startso11.info/wiersz+konopnickiej.html him.. A straggling orange-grove was here, broken lines of vanquished cultivation, struggling little trees swathed and choked in the festooning gray moss, http://startso11.info/pirotechnika+sceniczna.html still showing here and there the valiant golden gleam of fruit.. Fluker, admitting in her heart that farming was not her husband's forte, hoped, like a true wife, that it http://startso11.info/gubinowska.html might be found in the new field to which he aspired.. When the dreamer wakes up for a moment, he has actually chased http://startso11.info/S%C5%82yk+Ewa.html away the fly that has threatened to disturb his sleep.. Whenever, in our games, there were quarrels and high words, and I began to feel about my dress and to wear a grave look, they all took the alarm, and shouted, 'Look out for Titbottom's spectacles,' and scattered like a flock of scared sheep. http://startso11.info/www.fivb.com.html. From this we learn that the same incorrect psychic processes--as well as others that have not been enumerated--control http://startso11.info/www.wsus.katowice.pl.html the formation of hysterical symptoms.. His only gift was characteristic alike http://startso11.info/www.wamp.pl.html of his methods and his economy.. The analogy of our Cons. http://startso11.info/og%C5%82oszenia+Legnica.html. In my opinion, even the regard for comprehensibility as an occurrence of perception may take effect http://startso11.info/www.opel.com.pl.html before the dream attracts consciousness to itself.. A day or two later it was known throughout the town that Zaidee Hooker had sued Adoniram Hotchkiss for breach of promise, http://startso11.info/berlynastepu.com.html and that the damages were laid at five thousand dollars...

Thought perhaps you'd appreciate a comment from a real person (albeit a liberal nut case) vs the spam comments you seem to have here. A blast from the past, baby. What's up? Do you act anymore? - Mary T.
