It's ironic that I'd been lamenting the lack of civility in political discourse with my
friends and family recently. Because tonight, when I saw the way those immature, disrespectful racist Republican fucks were behaving (Joe Wilson just being the loudest), I was entertaining the most violent fantasies in my head. If you've seen High Fidelity, think of the part where John Cusack's character is picturing smashing an air conditioning window unit over the head of Tim Robbins' character. That's about where I was. I guess what differentiates me from the Glenn Beck types is that I don't actually advocate anyone engage in such behavior. But it was fun to imagine.
