For Realz...

God damn I love SD CityBEAT. Not because in this issue I learned that the editor is a Dodgers Fan (i feel you bro) but because week after week they hit the proverbial nail on the head:

I am actually grateful to Mark Foley. I don’t care all that much that some middle-aged poof from Palm Beach sat around masturbating while imagining a high-school student in a jock strap. It’s weird, but it’s not very interesting. What is interesting is what it requires for the masses to get a clue. The Republican-controlled Congress has been rubber-stamping a fascist platform for W’s administration for six years now, and if the only thing that can raise enough hackles to shake the foundations of the crumbling Capitol is a scandal involving a lecher and some prep-school boys then so be it. Many of us have been wondering for six years what had to happen to shake up a narrow majority of American voters. At last we know.
