Fo' Shizzle

As much as I wan't going to do it, I had to put a political rant in here.

My brother lives in Arkansas, yet another state that sided with the Democrats on Tuesday. "Hell," he wrote in an email to me, "even the damn coroner is a Democrat". He told me he was shot a look of death from a co-worker because my brother had the gall to swing into the office Wednesday morning singing a very happy tune. Said co-worker is a Republican and had no tolerance for his glee. Well, hearing that just flipped my switch (or switched my flip) and this was my raging response to his co-worker's scowling:

'I flatly refuse to take any crap from the GOP as they have had more than enough time to show themselves as capable leaders. In their wake they have left scandal after scandal, an environmental travesty, a skyrocketing deficit, attempts to tear down civil rights, a horrible dependence on foreign oil, a public education disaster, a war we will have to spend billions getting out of and that has created more terrorists than this world has known for some time, and shattered foreign relations that will take years to mend. They have repeatedly proven that they are unfit for office. Shame on them and up theirs.'

After reading my email, my brother urged me to put it on my blog, encouraging me with a 'fo' shizzle'. How could I say no to that?
