No ugly cracks please

As one of his last, and most important tasks, it seems Karl Rove is determined to get to the bottom of a serious breach in security.

After a speech at American University earlier in the year, he was taunted mercilessly by some protesters who were determined to display their better side.

This obviously raised a stink with Rove, who is now turning to the Secret Service to perform some serious undercover work. I'm sure they'll discover whomever was behind this dastardly behaviour. Rove, apparently, does not appreciate being the butt of someone else's idea of a joke.

Thanks for your service, Karl.

I'm an ass

Yes, I'm a registered Democrat, though sometimes I cringe at how our elected officials act.

Lately, the opposition party, and conservative groups, have taken to tormenting members of the Democratic party by dropping the "ic" and calling it the Democrat party. I understand it's an attempt by Republicans and conservatives to separate the positive connotations of "democracy" and "democratic" philosophy from the Democratic Party itself (truth be told, there are plenty of Democratic party members who do their damnedest to denigrate the principles of democracy).

Still, the dictionary definition of "democrat" is one who embraces democracy.

I think Democrats ought to embrace the term "Democrat Party" and make it synonymous with "Democratic Party." Call me a member of the Democrat Party because I embrace democracy. And call me a liberal, because that's not a dirty word either.

And you can call me an ass, because I am. So are you.
