Today's New York Times

I think it's probably me, because the paper has me in such a state this morning. I mean, what is going on with the world? Where do I begin? There's an article about donors to colleges. This cracker in Naples, Florida wants not just his parents' donation to Princeton back, but all the income it earned. Why? Because his version of public service doesn't match that of the University, and his parents made the donation to further public service. Well, guess what you ignorant slob? Just because you haven't been able to earn any money in your life, doesn't mean you get to dictate the use of the money your father and mother gave a zillion years ago. You want to donate money? EARN SOME.

Then there is this. The students at Vanderbilt have their knickers in a twist because a gay student dared to run for Homecoming Queen. First of all, if those wretches can't see that Everett Moran, standing in a dress and red elbow-length gloves on the football field, personifies courage and honor, and everything else that homecoming clearly doesn't stand for, then they don't deserve to be college students. They should take their ignorant bigoted selves back to the inbred-hillbilly holes they crawled out of. And Everett, you go girl. You're exactly what this country needs.

Here's the thing. I'm am so goddamn sick of these "red-staters." This website pretty much expresses everything I feel about those cretins: www.fuckthesouth.com. As my brother wrote in the Gadflyer, if we ever dared to refer to them the way they refer to us, we'd be drawn and quartered. But you know what? We are the real Americans. Everett Moran, standing brave and resolute in the face of bigotry, is a real American. George Soros, devoting his life and his fortune to serving those less fortunate than he is, is a real American. The citizens of California who have donated their own money to support stem cell research, to compensate for the cowardice of our Taliban government, are real Americans. The rest of them? The ones that destroy the Constitution in service to their narrow-minded and zealously self-centered agendas? Those pinheads sure as hell aren't Americans. Secession. That's what we need. Let them take their scrub-farms and stipmalls and get the hell out of our country. We'll open our doors to immigrants, to the brilliant and open-minded of the world. And we'll leave them eating dirt and handling snakes.
