« Sarah Palin's Body--and What It Is Trying To Say | c4Logic's Blog | ACORN Out to Destroy the Fabric of Democracy! »

Dr. John Sidney Frankenstein


McCain has wanted to be POTUS all his life. He wanted to prove to his distant, emotionally aloof Dad that he was lovable. Nobody ever told him: That'll do Pig. That'll do.

So he sat there, and watched this exotic figure winning over the electorate on his own merits, and he came up with a scheme. He would create a MONSTER. And the MONSTER would destroy his opponent and sweep himself into office. So he went down down down into the dungeon of his castle with his sidekick the Wolf Woman of Wasilla and cobbled together some dead stories, and mummified rumors, and stitched them together with lies and the glue of deception, and he thrust his piece meal corpse up in to the sky to bring down the lightning and the thunder, and low and behold, the fire of the GODS landed on his creature, and it got up off the table and began to STOMP around all over the place, scaring the shit out of everybody.

And when he talked to it, trying to calm it down, trying to control the MONSTER, it turned on him, and with arms outstretched, it began to stalk him, booing him as it stomped and whomped--and McCain saw what he had done, what he had unleased, and he threw his hands up in fear and loathing and cried. No! No! My opponent is a decent family man citizen. But the MONSTER could not hear, and went stomping on out into the darkness...the screams of the frightened villagers echoed through the valley...it was time for torchlights and pitchforks...

Thus always is the way with MONSTERS...

... that's Fronk-en-steen.

And after today we can add:
Dr. Sidney Jeckel and Mr. John Hyde

That was funny!!!

It is all-too true. It's pretty much the same image that came to my mind. You create monsters, and they eventually come back to destroy their creators, and any number of innocent bystanders.

Good job, McCain. Good job, Palin. Reap what you sow.

Reap what you sow. But leave me and everyone else out of it.

Well done. (which has more than one meaning)

Thanks.

Twenty years creating monsters, and what do I have to show for it?

A roomful of monsters!

Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mould me man? Did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?

Good call...McCain as Demiurge


So, "my opponent is an honorable 'decent family man citizen' terrorist embezzler land-swindler ignoramus abortionist"?

This campaign is causing me to develop a deep psychological aversion to the word "friend", as well as the word "my", particularly the phrase "my friend", or "my friends". I do wonder whether I would develop, three weeks from now, a twitch, upon hearing "my friend"; even moreso if I would have to listen to several more years of "my friend", in fascist tone.

Rush Limbaugh always says, 'My Friends'. McCain's use of it is a dog whistle.

Nice visual imagery, c4Logic. Apt use of the word "MONSTERS."

Bio

I was raised by a kindly old gentleman in the wilderness near the Rio Branco. He died of natural causes when I was 16, and I drifted down river in a bark canoe not knowing what I would find and eventually arrived at a settlement of Franciscan missionaries.It was then I discovered that we had not been the only white men left after the Nuclear Holocaust, that in fact, there had never been a Nuclear Holocaust, and there was no need to forge our own bronze and iron and live off the bounty of the rain forest. I was probably kidnapped as a small child. I have dim memories of someone called Mae and Pai. I wandered the Pan American highway till I settled for a time in Zipolite, Mexico, where I worked as a silversmith. Eventually I met a beautiful young woman who was independently wealthy and she married me and took me to live in N Ca where we live on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. I have my own forge, and do blacksmithing for the local horses, in addition to my silver and bronze work. Adaptation to modern civilization has been a challenge for me ever since I realized I was deprived of my natural family and raised by someone who, though kind, must have been something of a lunatic. He did teach me many practical survival skills, however so I guess he wasn't all bad. I have ambivalent feelings about my whole childhood.
