Pulling Me Back In



Alright, I apologize.

I'm back, and so are the posts I took down Monday when I announced my early retirement. What happened was, I got tired of the narrow-mindedness of people of both major parties, and began a series of posts that would have ended with me faking my own death -- hence all the hokey foreshadowing in yesterday's post.

But I couldn't go through with it. The fact is, I'm too good to waste my skills on a hoax. (Insert tired CBS joke here.) And I'm too egotistical to stand by while people like Maureen Dowd shock America by writing about things I addressed a whole week ago -- even if she does call them preposterous and paranoid:

There's no evidence - it's just a preposterous, paranoid fantasy at this point. But it speaks to the jitters of the Democrats that they're consumed with speculation about whether Karl Rove, the master of dirty tricks and surrogate sleaze, could have set up CBS in a diabolical pre-emptive strike to undermine damaging revelations about Bush 43's privileged status and vanishing act in the National Guard...

In this vast left-wing conspiracy theory, Mr. Rove takes real evidence on W.'s shirking and transfers it to documents doomed to be exposed as phony (thereby undermining the real goods), then funnels it through third parties to Dan Rather, Bush 41's nemesis on Iran-contra. A perfect bank shot.

So anyway, I'm not quitting. Maybe I was subconsciously tipping people off when I mistakenly said I was leaving my home in the Allegheny National Forest of northeastern Pennsylvania. It's actually in northwestern Pennsylvania, and I've never been there.

not even a thank you for tipping you off to the MD column?
that honks as much as your knowledge of geography

I noticed your suspicions of Rove right off and have told whoever I could (now, they think I'M preposterous and paranoid. But, oh well). I totally believe you and I feel to my bones it's no paranoid fantasy and perhaps she throws that in as CYA. This screams his MO.

But he couldn't pull any of this off without the help of that part of the American public that chooses to partake in this little drama of The President Has No Clothes. In response to your more later entries, yes, Kerry can scream the truth as loud as he can, but, with the help of a media that asks the hard questions of only the Democrats and a public with selective hearing, he's the only one who recognizes that W is stark nekkid! With the exception, of course, of a number of brilliant bloggers and what looks like less than half of the electorate!

I wouldn't mind so much when the Republicans win, they win fair and square on real issues. But the fact they have nothing to run on but dirty tricks bodes ill for the real citizens of this country.

Glad that you're back!

The sad and wise Texan

man, i couldn't agree with you more. i don't like to see republicans win either, but it would sting a lot less if they played fair. thanks for passing on that rove theory too -- I hope people will really look into it instead of just assuming this is some kerry plot. I also hope you'll have some reason after nov. 2 to be just a wise texan and not a sad one.
