The current state of democracy -representation and appointment- works very poorly. I think we should prepare ourselves for some sort of direct democracy. But I have another message to leave here which is a message of immortality and peace:

Chant this prayer & we will have heaven on earth:

Dearest, greatest, holiest!
Please give us all, the full heaven on earth!
I thank you, & I worship you.

Senator (Grand Wizard) Byrd’s a Hypocrite
Bah hah hah hah hah

I am so moved by Senator Byrd’s undying respect for the Senate’s traditions that I must ask him to go further to make his point. If he wants the American people to really understand how serious a threat to democracy is the inv…

Jacob,

I must’ve skimmed past your comment. Thanks for noting it. The whole thing is rather amazing, really.

More from the Klansman
Steven Taylor points out that in addition to eliding his own role in the anti-Civil Rights Act filibusters of the 1960s, perennial Signifying Nothing foil Robert Byrd seems to be forgetting that he was Senate Majority Whip (the second most…

Thanks Jacob. I’m glad that somebody is paying attention to my entries. Whadya say that you and I investigate the Britney-Henry link and write a book about it.

My original comment.
