no.65 - The Krove

This demon, with it's shapeless head, slithering body, its many slime covered tentacles and its rough shit-raking claws, has been at work inside the ugly, reality dismissing, rhetoric of politics every since it was a little slime-ling in the 1990's.

Unfazed by it's own wild hypocrisy, the Krove feels nothing when it contradicts itself, because it has no use for reality, justice or dialogue.

The Krove is not a single being, but a collective lack of conscience, bent on furthering a murky, bilious self-perpetuating agenda. While this demon may appear hateful, it only uses hate as one tool among many, including disdain, condensation, denial, dismissal, and treachery. (The creature pictured right is but one of it's guises.)

If when listening to a political speech, you begin to feel a little vomit rise in the back of your throat, it is your body's defense against the Krove.

If you have not felt this be warned, you may be under the demon's thrall.

no.64 - The Abstinence Plan

Sarah Palin is to be applauded. Her unwavering support of abstinence-only sex education has brought the quality of such programs under a clear and bright light.

There are only two possibilities. I look forward to hearing which of these two options Governor Palin is willing to admit:

Either:
Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin failed to effectively educate her own daughter on the principles she firmly believes.

Or:
Her educational principles are deeply flawed. Abstinence programs are ineffective and myopic in their scope, yielding poor results wherever they are implemented.

I don't want to dig into her personal life. I don't want to speculate about about Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter 's Birth plan, though I do hope it doesn't involve giving a speech after her water breaks, hopping an eight hour flight, then driving for 45 minutes to give birth. (What would Freud read into that plan?)

I just want to know where Sarah Palin stands on this Abstinence program, now that she has new information.
