"Leave Your Ass," ITT

The Left gets labeled as a whiny form of mental illness, and its academic faction gets derided for coining wordy names for a plethora of psycho-cultural disorders (real or imagined), and how does ITT respond, but by handing their own ass to the Right, and naming it "outrage fatigue?" To answer your question, Joel, no, my mind does not go numb over GOP atrocities. It goes numb when I see the opposition writing pusillanimous articles about how oh so very hard it is getting spanked in the ass with a frying pan. Who wants to join the Flaccid Party of Depressed Pussies - everybody likes an underdog, right? What, no takers? Okay then. Suck it up. It's not like you risk deportation for raising hell against shit-bag policies. "Neither party" indeed, Chuck.

Turn off that new Neil Young record (as we know from the well-intentioned Consolidated - and by "well-intentioned" I mean "who the hell could listen to this shit" - if it's free, it probably ain't worth listening to). Hell, Fat Mike from NOFX helped mobilize a substantive number of voters against the GOP in the last election, and if the singer of a band who writes songs about botched sex changes can "mobilize the base," what the hell are ya'll whining about?

And consider muzzling Vonnegut, because his recent statements (in that article, and about IDC - I've got your "tribal mentality" right here, old man) indicate that he is losing his mind.
