Via The Poor Man ( who now has a virtual stable of ponies and to whom belated congratulations on his recent marriage… how about a squid for me every time Blair says ‘choice’? Even a cuttlefish?

It sometimes seems as though right wing politics and child molestation go hand-in-hand. Without wishing to denigrate those conservatives out there who are models of personal probity and integrity, it does seem way too co-incidental that so many molestors turn out to be Republicans.

What about Jeff Gannon, the Bush bald head fetish and the sheer quantities of Republican bottoms? I guess a change is as good as a rest. Perhaps it might be more pertinent to ask what it is about the Republican party that attracts these people?
Dumb question. It’s glaringly obvious. How else could you get off on every bad thing you ever dreamt of doing, and get publicly patted on the back, promoted and paid for doing it?
