Linkage!

(dies laughing) I just found this absolutely perfect article in the Chicago Tribune (isn't the internet wonderful?) and had to share.

( Note to Rebublicans )
Among the highlights are:

"Would you want a San Francisco woman to be speaker of the House? Will the lectern be repainted in lavender stripes with a disco ball overhead? Will she be borne into the chamber by male dancers with glistening torsos and wearing pink tutus?"

"The iPod was not developed by Baptists in Waco, Texas. There may be a reason for this."

"Somewhere in the quiet, leafy recesses of the Bush family, somebody is thinking, 'Wrong son. Should've tried the smart one.'"

"...like seeing the Rolling Stones take up lite jazz."

Another good, though not nearly as enlightening, article is
( Social conservatives are a lot smarter than their leaders think )
from the Washington Post:

"'If you're a gay who likes to burn flags, it's going to be a long year.'"

"The Republicans go hot and cold on the social conservatives, but they're always solicitous of the really, really privileged."

"The one thing worse than opportunistically using wedge issues is cravenly selling out the nation's financial future to appease the powerful."

In general, Topix is now on my big website check list. (waves the flag)
