A MISUNDERSTANDING

WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND, MORAN?  Godd bliss MURKA, the public which it stands, one nation underground, with little trees and just us for all.

AMANDA MARCOTTE MUSES on SONS FORTUNATE and otherwise.  Governor MITT ROMNEY of Massachussetts, was miffed somebody asked him a question about whether his kids had enlisted to serve in Iraq.  MITT of Massachusetts , so obviously miffed, is the son of former governor of Michigan GEORGE ROMNEY, who was “BRAINWASHED”  in the Sixties on Vietnam.  Miffed Mitt of Mass, a millionaire, made his name in Utah working for free as the head of the 2002 OLYMPICS where somebody else footed all the bills.   

THE CITED TITLE SONG FORTUNATE SON was written by JOHN FOGERTY, formerly of Creedence Clearwater Revival.  When Fogerty released a solo album CENTERFIELD, he caught more than pop flies. What he caught from a major record company was what flies land on.  Fogerty was actually sued for sounding too much like himself, in violation of copyright and trademark of the band he founded which made all its money on the distinctive voice of John Fogerty sounding just like himself.  The record company thought Fogerty who sang Fortunate Son was a son of a bitch sounding like himself.

FOGERTY FOUGHT THE LAW and the law lost.  The court ruled you can sound like yourself so long as you live. You can protest what your government does in songs old and new.

THE MAN CANNOT TAKE THAT AWAY from you. Some boys will not have a chance to sing anymore songs.  These boys are not so fortunate as the sons of Miffed Mitt of  Massachusetts or JENNA AND BARBARA BUSH. 

MIFFED MITT OF MASS HAS MISSED out on why the masses themselves might be miffed about those who miss the chance to serve their country while some who served will miss out on the rest of their lives. Because they died.  Their parents and their brothers and sisters, their sons and daughters, their wives and husbands all miss the dead.

MAYBE MIFFED MITT OF MASS MISUNDERSTANDS why people protest the war and something about America.

QUESTION: Answer to question not asked.  A man calls himself Mitt only when his first name is Willard.  What do you misunderstand about America today?

How people can protest for a war. What next? Protesting for the right to be harassed by the cops?

[Shakespeare's Sister]

Are they protesting for a war, or against free speech? I think it's the latter, which, of course, creates just a ludicrous irony the contemplation of which nearly makes my head explode.

A pro-government protest just seems weird in general to me. That's, um, not really what protests are *for*...

[The Green Knight]

Hey! The Morans are a nice Irish family, and they're my cousins!

The guy with the sign and I are gonna fight.

[Night Bird]

Protest Warriors, they call themselves.

"You are giving hope and encouragement to the enemies of America," said former California Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian, a Republican who co-founded Move America Forward, the group that coordinated the rally.

It appears as though they're actually protesting Cindy Sheehan;Glenn Beck's brilliant listeners, in particular. Talk Left has some more signage for their consideration (which is good, because too many words seem to confuse them).

[Linkmeister]

I don't misunderstand the Democratic party; I'm afraid I understand it all too well, and I'm tired of it.

[Agi T. Prop]

Linkmeister, I'll second that. I think the Democrats are a bunch of dumbasses.
(I'm speaking of Congressional Dems).

I'm with Amanda. What mental loop de loops come after protesting for a war?

Hey, Morans. No more vaccines. We want our smallpox and polio.

Hey, Morans. Lock me up and throw away the key harder. Build a bigger better Bastille.

Hey, Morans. Torture's cool. The Geneva Convention is quaint...

Uh-oh. Wait a minute...

[love Spanish Christian music]

there's no many things to protest about there a people that live for it....
