Don't Mourn, Organize ~ by Molly Ivins

AUSTIN, Texas — Do you know how to cure a chicken-killin' dog? Now, you know you cannot keep a dog that kills chickens, no matter how fine a dog it is otherwise.

Some people think you cannot break a dog that has got in the habit of killin' chickens, but my friend John Henry always claimed you could. He said the way to do it is to take one of the chickens the dog has killed and wire the thing around the dog's neck, good and strong. And leave it there until that dead chicken stinks so bad that no other dog or person will even go near that poor beast. Thing'll smell so bad the dog won't be able to stand himself. You leave it on there until the last little bit of flesh rots and falls off, and that dog won't kill chickens again.

The Bush administration is going to be wired around the neck of the American people for four more years, long enough for the stench to sicken everybody ...

She had such a way with words. RIP great lady.

1. Was it prophecy when she told people to vote for Nader in 2000?

[mzmolly]

2. Actually she endorsed a safe state strategy to my understanding?

However, she was wrong on Nader and she has said that. I "forgive" her. :hi:

3. That John Henry was a wise man

And the sad-faced ol' hound that is America is plumb ready to break it's habit of a-toleratin' conservative gov'nance.

--p!

4. I wonder how long it will be until the conservatives realize that they

have pretty much destroyed anything worth conserving.

5. For many of them -- already

There are a LOT of disgusted rightists, and it's not because Bush "isn't conservative enough".

--p!

6. Conservatives dont take resonsibility for anything.

They will blame Bush for all the problems, take no responsibility for any of it, and vote for the Republicans again.

7. Sigh. Another otherwise good person who's gonna lose money...

... betting *against* the stupidity of the American public.

They're stupider than dogs.
