JAMES LILEKS ON BILL MAHER AND HIS DEMOCRAT NEIGHBORS. Quotable:
So I walked along, looking at all the lawn signs. Kerry. Kerry. Kerry. Kerry. A Kerry sign in Spanish. “Hope is on the way.” That’s nice. I could use some .. Hope is on the way! As I pass each sign I wonder what sort of Democrats my neighbors are. Normal ordinary Democrats who want the best for everyone, and have come to the conclusion that higher taxes, more education spending, increased environmental regulation, more government involvement in health care, and greater integration into the European-led global order is the way to move us forward? Probably. But which ones are Michael-Moore fabulists, warmed-over Sixties sorts whose hearts hold a seething Chomskyite loathing for the West, and will countenance anything that rubs soot in our mad staring eyes?
