The lead editorial rants that Obama tramples the Constitution. Okay, but the headine is "Against Our Will," which of course is the title of Susan Brownmiller's 1976 book on rape. The headline Willie-Hortonizes the ediitorial. It seems to me an impossible inference to deny (though they will deny thy meant anything like that, and say it's just a coincidence, because that's what race-baiting is--saying something transparently racist in a deniable way).

I'd write more, but instead here's a poll.

I agree with Archer070's interpretation of the headline. The headline is a revoltingly racist dog whistle.

Archer may be merely mistaken, because the Augusta Chronicle staff may never have heard of Brownmiller or her book

I love the Saturday Hate Mail-a-Palooza, but when I checked out Henry Hill's website (the hero of Goodfellas died today) I realized I have lived a sheltered life. Part of Hill's site is called "Threat of the Week." Gaze upon such work as this, ye hate mailers, and despair:

I fucked your mom you fucking pig shit eating, dog fucking, ass raping, >piss drinking, ass fingering, dick sucking, man tit licking, ball hair >shaving, cock sweat drinking, vagina hating, ass pirating, horse cum >guzzling, sheep rooting, uncle fucking peter puffing grab asstic piece of >amphibian shit eating mother fucker! You are a jap scat loving, little boy >raping, playground drug dealing, gay midget porn liking, throbbing cock >munching Yankee gay man whore! > >Eat shit and then and wash it down with a tall glass of piss.

Would someone please alert our hate mailers that they should seek out the author of the above passage, as his (or her) gifts and accomplishments suggest considerable room for improvement on their part.

While the fate of the earth is still up for grabs, I think a couple of things by now are clear:

1. If Scott Walker survives recall, the sun will turn into a supernova. This will cause the nickel-alloy battery at the earth's core to melt or something, and the earth will explode like a PC laptop on a 747.

2. Probably mankind will ignore this warning and be incinerated.

3. We will blame each other.

Bell's Palsy--which God forbid you ever wake up and look in the mirror and see you have one, or worse, see that your kid has one--is terrifying. Half the face is a face and the other half is slack, and the two halves don't add up to a face. That's fine for a Stephen King novel but not when you drive fifty miles out to the country to pick up your ten-year-old son at camp because his sister says "his face looks funny." I thought Lyme right away--the neighbors' kid had had it.

"Bell's Palsy is very common in children, and it's transient," the doctor said. "It'll be gone over time--weeks, a month or two at most. And the lab tests are negative."

"Doctor," I said, "I have read that Bell's Palsy should at least suggest specific bloodwork for Lyme."

"Unnecessary."

I think it was the doctor's tone that saved my son's future. It was a tone of serene tranquil contempt.

That's the real difference between them and us. We're logos, they are mythos. We believe in social justice; they believe in Jesus. We believe in economic fairness; they believe in the Invisible Hand. We want to convince them; they want to burn us at the stake. And I must ask my fellow lefties, as a brother-in-arms who wishes them well: If you were an impartial observer, which side would you bet on?

Look, if God had meant people to abstain, he'd have made them all Republicans.

Of course they wouldn't abstain anyway, and God would be embarrassed, but God would at least get to say "Look, I tried. I designed people with a 200-horsepower sexual drive and a set of brakes by Schwinn. Sue me."

So it is annoying--worse than annoying--to see yet another Republican (Congressman Mark Souder of Indiana) attempting to interfere with God's plan, and preaching abstinence.

So now some people around here want to toss the filibuster, and others of us are outraged that Sen. Lieberman doesn't give a rusty rat fuck about what the voters think, and other such stuff. Get a grip, people: This is the way the Framers meant it to work.

It really is true, as you say, that "every American has access to healthcare." I doubt you've thought this through, though, so let me explain it to you.

I don't like conspiracy theories. I think they are stupid. For instance, I admit The New York Times recently had to borrow against its own real estate to keep afloat. It's also true the Times needs every penny of ad revenue it can get. But I don't suggest the Times slants its coverage to please its advertisers. That would be irresponsible.

Give her a break. Sure she never really expected that Iran would test that one-megaton nuke on Nov. 1, 2008. In fact, she didn't even know Iran was a country. But that's what happened, and then on January 25, 2009, when President John McCain was found wandering aimlessly up Pennsylvania Avenue looking for an old Buick that it turned out he hadn't owned since 1979, and Palin was sworn in the next day on her friend's secret Revised Secessionist Wasilla Assembly of God Bible--well, the entire business would have been stressful for anyone, and she's done pretty well, considering. For instance:

Shattering plate glass sounds like church bells being thrown down a flight of steps. I know this because I heard it myself, from two feet away--the sound of the glass, I mean. The two young guys who had tossed the cinder block through the glass looked pleased, and at that moment, I admired them.

It was January of 1970, and Revolution was all the rage. We were marching. Nixon was president, the war in Vietnam was escalating, Hippie was long ago dead and the sign of the closed fist was everywhere. We even had a brand new anthem by the group Chicago, called It Better End Soon:

They're killing everybody
They're killing me and you
They're fighting and
killing everybody
I wish it weren't true
They say we got to make war
Or the economy will fall
But if we don't stop
We won't be around no more
They're ruining this world...

You remember "credit-default swaps," of course--the sleazy unregulated paper transaction insurance that was part of every bundle of mortgage-backed securities traded on the Exchange until the real estate market tanked, whereupon the credit-default swaps turned out to be what they were all along, which was insurance, only none of the insurance was any good because it was unregulated and had no real money in back of it, whereupon the economy imploded and many died.

Why not apply these same free-market principles to health care?
