Partisanship

These are desperate times when I’m reduced to quoting the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal* dripping with hateful filth and immorality as it usually is. But the other day, they arched their furry Tory brows at Bloomberg’s pontifications on the yearning for an end to partisan political strife and noted that there’s strife precisely because there’s so much at stake. Duh! The Journal should know! It’s the flagship of the war on a just America. These warriors speak for the concentration of money, and hence political power, in an undemocratic elite. The new robber barons have no problem using fundamentalists hungry for the irrational frenzy and sectarian hell of theocracy, after all, they’re the ones who eagerly adopted the Bourbons and the murderous myrmidion rednecks from the Democratic Party once American Apartheid was finally outlawed. Anything for power, my friends.

*I’ve long argued that the excellent reportorial crew of the Journal legitimizes its reactionary editorial pages. Never mind the “wall” separating news and editorial; the reporting makes the paper and gives the Op-Ed scumsuckers all the props they need. It’s only fitting that a man who represents the complete and utter immorality of capital, Rupert Murdoch, is set to eat the paper alive.

On a minor note, I liked how State Senate Kingpin Joe Bruno didn't beat around the bush: campaign finance reform will kill GOP power in the state. Here's to more truthtelling like this!
