Let Them Eat Santorum
Ive always liked Dan Savage. Hes never been afraid to hurt feelings. Listen, Lonely In Detroit, so long as you live with your mother and maintain a Farscape website youre probably not going to score much. Thats reality. Forty and Fatherless, dont drag anyone else into you emotional bog. Chained up in the Dark and Begging For Help, youre certainly in a dire predicament, but…
However, this new column of his is like something deleted from the Ted Rall message board for poor taste. If this is to be the lefts new position, then they deserve to lose every national election until the Rapture, when they can finally have their godless paradise.
“Certain distressed liberals and progressives are talking about fleeing to Canada or, better yet, seceding from the Union. We can’t literally secede and, let’s admit it, we don’t really want to live in Canada. It’s too cold up there and in our heart-of-hearts, we hate hockey. We can secede emotionally, however, by turning our backs on the heartland. We can focus on our issues, our urban issues, and promote our shared urban values. The Republicans have the federal government–for now. But we’ve got Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, New York City (Bloomberg is a Republican in name only), and every college town in the country. We’re everywhere any sane person wants to be. Let them have the shitholes, the Oklahomas, Wyomings, and Alabamas. We’ll take Manhattan.”
And that was the most rational part of the whole diatribe. Read this and youll never second guess your Bush vote.
