Better not let Daily Kos see this. . .

That girl with the purple finger is clearly too young to vote. If Kos or Juan Cole see this pic, they'll start on about the 'real' story behind the elections -- massive underage vote fraud. I imagine right about now they're desperate for any way to undermine such a brilliantly successful election. They take the democratic out of 'Democratic Party.'

Here's how Kos's blog reacted to the sight of millions of people voting freely:

"More Purple Fingers, to What End? . . . But we've long since learned that imagery isn't enough to win this war. All the "Mission Accomplished" banners in the world aren't enough to overcome the reality of a poorly planned and ineptly conducted war. And all the purple fingers in Arabia aren't enough to create democracy. At least not yet."

You could almost feel pity for a soul so lacking in poetry.

Silly Liberal Tricks

"The protesters' target was a controversial Republican budget bill being negotiated that would achieve around $42 billion in net savings over five years from a range of federal programs, including health care for the poor and elderly and possibly child care, student loans and food stamps."

So we're cutting about 8 billion dollars a year in spending. This is out of a 2.3 trillion dollar budget. That's about .0035%. It also bears mentioning that such spending has mushroomed in recent years, with the budget bloated unsustainably.

A bunch of Liberal protesters were arrested today over this. Here's what some of the silly, silly people had to say:

"'Someone's praying Lord, stop the cuts,' chanted the protesters. . ." Harkin told reporters, saying a 'mean-spiritedness' had overtaken the legislature."

We're supposed to take people like this seriously? Republicans have bungled plenty during their tenure, but at least they're grown-ups.

Update:

For those of you confused by this post, I'm not calling their objection to spending cuts childish. It's the hyperbolic, unmodulated nature of their response which places them in the tinfoil-hat brigade.

Manic Moonbats on Parade -- a New Discoshaman Joint

MoveOn, Michael Moore -- It's my turn. Have moviemaker, will polemicize.

Check out my new film montage of Leftist Wackadoos -- Manic Moonbats on Parade, featuring:

1. A killer soundtrack by the Dead Kennedys and Howard Dean

2. Lots of wild-eyed Dems doing wild-eyed Dem things

3. Schadenfreude-enriched post-election quotes from agonizing Dems

It's a documentary film that dares to ask the tough questions, like "Can we stop pretending the Left loves America, too?"

What people are saying:

"Watch out, Michael Moore. You've got competition." -Instapundit

"Couldn't have said it better myself." -JunkYardBlog

"Wow! Impactful. That made a bigger impression on me than Michael Moore makes on a Barcalounger!" -The Duchess
