A Brief Detour Into Politics....
I'm puzzle by something I read in The Other Paper last week...
No, this is not my usual and, by now, tedious rant about how TOP is a worthless waste of paper and all of its writers are talentless, lazy hacks with the maturity level of a 13 year old boy. Actually, Dan Williamson, who wrote the column in question, is the onlyTOP writer I can read without screaming.
Except when he writes about the strange behaviors of Republicans. But it's the Republicans who make me want to scream, not Williamson's prose.
Last Thursday, Williamson related how the Democratic candidate for Ohio state Treasurer was virtually a lock to win because his Republican opponent was unknown and underfunded. It seems, according to Williamson, that Republican voters rejected the re-nomination bid of the Republican incumbent Treasurer because of her positions on abortion and gay rights.
What????
That's the thing that I don't understand...
Certainly those are core Republican wedge issues that they love to use to lord their moral superiority over us ungodly liberals, but what the bloody hell do they have to do with the Treasurer's office????
I don't want or need any office holder, Republican or Democrat or Communist or Green or whatever, telling me how to live, and I certainly don't see how it's the busines of the Treasurer. It appears that Ohio Republicans, in some twisted quest for moral purity in their candidates, have screwed their party of an important statewide office.
GOOD.

You're the one that's twisted, you dirty hippie!!
Not really, but how are you? Are you alive? That's nice. Now go to work and let's talk about me, since I'm much more important.
Vomit.
When I read that first line, I had another "Marie Osmond" episode on my hands. (See my post "Leave Her Alone--She's Famous!") Actually, I'm kind of disapointed. A good on-line feud might just make me feel better about myself.
