i wonder what it's like to be right all the time.

i wonder what that feels like -- to wake up and know that your opinions are perfectly formed, that the world is just so and it truly conforms to what you know to be right.

i'll be happy to admit that there are many, many things about which i'm conflicted. politics is one, for example. some days i'm a republican. some days i'm a democrat. and some days i'm a libertarian who would love to say "a pox on both your houses" and go start his own party.

abortion? dunno. it's murder, but -- some days -- i think it should be legal.

affirmative action? dunno. it's totally unfair and contrary to the spirit of the declaration of independence, but -- some days -- i realize the whole damn society was contrary to that spirit. for 300 years.

geo. w. bush? dunno. effective leader or ineffective chimp? both. and neither. was i happy using the weird marker on the ballot in november? no ... but then i read tony pierce and i realize that i'm happy bush won, if only to annoy fucks like this.

tony is right. all the time. you can't argue. or he'll let you think you can. he'll seem all open minded. he'll post pictures of hot babes. and then he'll let loose with a zinger like this:

How will George Walker Bush be remembered? That will depend on how the person who is sworn in on this day in 2009 addresses the damage he has caused to what was, in antiquity, a good idea. Because today, Thomas Jefferson, asleep in the soil of Virginia, officially became a citizen of France.

yuppers. that's it. i dislike bush = thomas jefferson of course would dislike bush. so much so, in fact, that he'd renounce his citizenship and go to the one country that, for the past three years, has gotten more mileage and glee over sticking its thumb in our eye ...

wow. i'm so glad the world has people like tony pierce -- how else would i come to realize how wrong i am?
