Fear, hate, and everybody else
Found this on Digg, of all goddamn places.
I’m a big fan of Penn & Teller, and of Penn Jillette in particular, and I watch a lot of the Penn Says (I have a link to it in the Bogroll even), but I hadn’t seen them in a little bit, so I missed that one. It should come as no surprise to anybody that I’m also rather fond of Bob Barr, since you can see his smiling face over there on the right (he’s underneath Zul’jin and Gygax but above Hitler), and everybody knows I’m a Libertarian, and on and on and on.
So I was pretty fond of that video. I live in western Massachusetts — the very town, in fact, where the ice cream dude Penn mentions is from — so I’m right in the middle of all the western Massachusetts liberals. And I really appreciate Penn’s description of the Democrats. It matches my view so closely, but I was never able to figure out how to say that. So I just wanted to call that to everybody’s attention. And I apologise for Crackle being such a shitty site; I know that, but, hey, you gotta get your Penn on somehow, hey?
Also it seems to me that if we’re going to have a party of fear and a party of hate, we sure do need a party of destruction also. But everybody will bitch unless they pick a dark and gloomy official party colour.
