And now someone's courting the insane vote. Forget your Bush, forget your Dean, vote for someone who will stop the hustle and save us from the Zioni$ts and Communi$ts.

I hadn't heard that Pat Buchanan was running again?

Sorry pal, Lyndon LaRouche has had the nutbar vote wrapped up for years. This guy is a pale imitation.

I dunno, do LaRouche and Buchanan have the stones to tell the truth about the communi$t$ trying to kill Sandra Day O'Connor by dropping some architecture on her?

Or how about this gem: "Logic dictates there had to have been a nuclear bombs in the World Trade Buildings because the trade building blast is a much larger explosion than all the bombs exploding in Baghdad and one bomb exploding in Baghdad should be larger than 20,000 gallons of kerosene exploding."

There's just no way to argue with logic like that...

Was it comrade Perle? Racist zioni$t Pearlie Perle lives to bring our Christian kids in the military home in body bags but what would be his motive for wanting a US Supreme Court Justice dead?

Find out next week, same Bat time, same Bat channel.

Pearlie Perle? Is that Pooty Poot Putin's buddy?

It was the Iraq Iran war that Big George took the side of Saddam Hussein and became Hussein's buddy and gave Hussein the money and power to kill one million Shi'ites soldiers & named Hussein's followers Republicans.

I got a giggle out of this one.

This is my current favorite political story.

Why should the right have a monopoly on insanity?

I don't know. LaRouche has a depth and breadth to his crackpottery that is amazing. Check out this screed from Sept 10, 2001:

The more immediate, specific origin of Newton's delusion, is the Ockham admirer Paolo Sarpi, who, together with his lackey Galileo Galilei, gave England the naked, raw empiricism of Sir Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes. Out of the fag end of Seventeenth-Century empiricism, decadent elements in the U.S. population acquired that modern American pragmatism of William James, John Dewey, and Walter Lippmann, which has dominated U.S. policy-shaping, increasingly, over the course of the Twentieth Century. The presently pathetic state of mind of the majority of U.S. society, has been spewed from that latter source.

He goes on at some length. I think he's actually talking about the U.S.'s abandonment of the gold standard.

CunningLinguist - I'm from the same hometown as Gary Coleman. After Strokes, he would often ride on a float during the hometown's "Jubilee Days." He wasn't in my class, but the kids I knew his age all thought he was an asshat.

More of an asshat than Davis or Issa?

Not your ordinary pacifist, is he? I just love the way he uses those dollar signs.

Someday I'd like to sit down and figure out how many 'look what this crazy moron did' stories have shown up on Metafilter from Wilmington. I suspect it's disproportionate. I swear they put something in the water here.

I think that this guy may be the Nut Party candidate of choice.

However, nobody tops the late, great Screaming Lord Sutch. I wish the US was ready for an Official Monster Raving Loony Party.

Today I learned that not only do I share a city with this man, but that in fact he used to be on the board of directors at my place of employment.

This explains so very much.
