sedated by shallow distractions like supersized shakes and Wal-Mart and 24-hour lesbian wrestling channels on Premium Cable. "20, 20, 20, four hours ago.... I wanna be sedated!"
I could get a Venti frozen coffee drink at Starbucks for about $6, or get pretty much the same thing at Quik Trip (52 OZ) for less than $1.50. Walmart and Sams Club, and Costco, oh my! But most importantly, where can I sign up for the 24-hour lesbian wrestling channel?
Mark Steyn is awesome!

“The oppressed masses refuse to stay oppressed.”
Yep. It’s difficult for the ruling class when victims become unvictimized.

Coffees are $1.25-$1.99 at Mobil Bengal Trader vs $6 at Lib-bucks. Guess where I go?

I hope that pool is heated . . .

When members of a political party are not constrained by a religious belief system (like Judeo/Christianity), dishonesty and deceit as a means of gaining control over followers is perfectly legitimate (in the minds of the members of said party).
In that vein, Obama, Jesse Jackson, and Al Gore are all trying to use mass hypnosis as a means of compelling the public to obey them.
To do that they have to convey an air of authority and confidence (people accept trance inducement much more readily when the hypnotist is a powerful figure). Hence the trappings of power and authority are part of the process and not viewed by themselves or their followers as hypocritical.

...dishonesty and deceit as a means of gaining control over followers is perfectly legitimate...Well-stated. It's the core of every POS anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective/collectivist/criminal that has ever inhabited the planet or the mind of "useful idiots".

Love, love Steyn. When he is filling in for Rush that is the only time I can bear to listen to the entire show. His ideas, his manner of speaking, and the way he shapes his words just delight me.
For example, many of us already have expressed this idea around here, but who can not love a sentence like this?:
The planet can handle Jesse, Al and Prince Charles swanning about in SUVs and jets, but when you peasants start doing it, that’s unsustainable:

Yup.
Remember how Obama defined sin as "something out of alignment with my values." He has a very flexible value system...the Chicago/Alinsky/Luciferian type.;-)

The most recent cup of straight coffee I bought at Starbucks cost $1, and I got a free refill with caramel flavoring.

When I was younger (a very long time ago), I remember all the eco-disaster types who were bemoaning the loss of trees and vegetation due to the dreaded urban sprawl. When my Brit in-laws visit, they can’t believe all the trees we have in this country. But according to the eco-nazis, the Ted Kazcynski life-style is the one to be yearned for. Gee, I wish I could live in a 12x12 hut in the wilderness. (smirk)
