i've got the kind of fire in my brain that makes me want to devour fresh human organs again. em0, i think i may also have a troll back there in my ancestry somewhere. i just finished a kitchen table rant, but my internal boiler is still threatening to blow. i know that it's all the rage among liberals to reserve their rage over Bush v.

but let's face it. all fucking nine of them are responsible for tearing this nation apart.
the justices who voted for gore should have refused to even hear the case at all. they should have refused to participate in that steaming pile of shit decision that has damaged the crucial collective faith in our system.

god, this really is vietnam + the reagan administration on fast forward, all wrapped up in one.
