And note this passage:</p> <p>“Due to the new strict federaI Franken-Fairness law, I quickly assemble writers and journalists from all sides of the political spectrum; ABC, CBS and NBC.”</p> <p>See what he’s doing here? Implying that if the lefties had their way only the giant corporate media would have a voice. Yeah, sure. It might have been funny if he’d said, “I quickly assemble writers and journalists from all sides of the political spectrum: The Nation Magazine, Pravda, and the Teamster’s Newsletter.”</p> I loved Ernie Mannix’s near-future dystopian fantasy, in which out-of-control lefties are spending $140 million per month to convert Gitmo into a “Peace Park” which celebrates Canada and Castro.

I suppress the urge to inform Josepha that her images typify the worst of Early East L.A. Rococo, totally low-rent decadence, like Betsey Johnson—on a gallon of acid.

I just realized that every one of these dilrods think they’re writing for Dennis Miller.
