Friends who make you care SUCK

Thanks, Dave!, for your post that led me to this Molly Ivins article.

Some good quotes from the article:

Take “unpatriotic” and shove it.

This is not a time for a candidate who will offend no one; it is time for a candidate who takes clear stands and kicks ass.

And if there’s nobody in Washington and we can’t find a Democratic governor, let’s run Bill Moyers, or Oprah, or some university president with ethics and charisma.

So let’s go find a good candidate early and organize the sh*t out of our side.

Oh, hell, just go read it. I’m normally pretty solidly noncommittally apathetic that politics will change anything. The closest political label I’d give myself is “self-absorbed liberal tendencies with an eye toward guilty social conciousness”. At the risk of sounding like I have a political predisposition, though, I have to admit I not only liked the article, I’m purposely searching for more about it. It’s as if I’m channeling the soul of someone who still gives a sh*t.
