Screaming Zell is just what the Dems needed for a boost. Over and over today I am hearing how turned off people were by his speech. He hit a homerun with the Bush righties, which shows just where these people want to take us - to some bizarre world where we are supposed to worship an infallable president and intolerant viewpoints, instead of being educated participants in a democracy. Thank you Zell, for exposing the ugly fascist underbelly of the current Republican Party leadership, of which you are a part, you lying phony old redneck "Democrat".


New Face Of The Republican Party


Joseph Heller's Catch-22, the timeless war satire set in WWII. The Americans have recently captured Italy and a young American G.I. named Nately is visiting a whorehouse in liberated Palermo, Sicily, where he gets into a conversation with the ancient pimp:

Old Pimp: "... I was a fascist when Mussolini was on top, and I am an anti-fascist now that he has been deposed. I was fanatically pro-German when the Germans were here to protect us against the Americans, and now that the Americans are here to protect us against the Germans I am fanatically pro-American. I can assure you, my outraged young friend" - the old man's knowing, disdainful eyes shown even more effervescently as Nately's stuttering dismay increased - "that you and your country will have no more loyal partisan in Italy than me - but only as long as you remain in Italy."

"But," Nately cried out in disbelief, "you're a turncoat! A time-server! A shameful, unscrupulous opportunist!"
