CC replied to my previously mentioned note concerning the apparent caving to pressure from religious groups about the Bloody Mary episode of South Park.
Dear Viewer:
Thank you for your letter regarding the "South Park" episode entitled
"Bloody Mary." We appreciate your concerns about the potential
influences of outside special interest groups on the media and
enterainment industries and particularly Comedy Central. Though Comedy
Central did not include the "Bloody Mary" episode in a special year-end
marathon of "South Park" episodes in deference to the Holidays, "Bloody
Mary" did in fact air in every one of "South Park's" normally scheduled
repeat timeslots. As satirists, we believe that it is our First
Amendment right to poke fun at any and all people, groups, organizations
and religions and we will continue to defend that right. Our goal is to
make people laugh, and perhaps if we're lucky, even make them think in
the process. Despite misleading claims from those who would like to
claim victory, we have not permantly shelved the "Bloody Mary" episode
from future airings due to outside pressure nor will we exclude it from
future DVD releases.
Sincerely,
Comedy Central Viewer Services

Fair enough.
With Iran getting nukes, and the Ukraine and Russia teeing off for war over Natrual Gas (a bit less sexy than War for Oil), its starting to become pretty clear that military intervention into energy markets (so long our domain) is escalating.
Americans have a choice to make. We can invest, seriously invest, in alternative, reusable fuels now, or we can just forever be at war, at real expense to our life, liberty, happiness, and economy. It just makes so much fucking sense to cast off the shackles of petroleum, and use our huge techological resources to develop something new, which won't require half my taxes going to support War.
Gore, the object of so much riducule, was abso-fucking-lutely right when he made this an issue in 2000. And Dems would be foolish, absolutely foolish, not to make this an issue, THEIR issue, in 2006 and 2008. Energy Independence is a goal that brings jobs, wealth, and Peace. For us, anyway.
