Richard Nixon has never been one of my favorite people, anyway. For years I've regarded his existence as a monument to all the rancid genes and broken chromosomes that corrupt the possibilities of the American Dream; he was a foul caricature of himself, a man with no soul, no inner convictions, with the integrity of a hyena and the style of a poison toad. The Nixon I remembered was absolutely humorless; I couldn't imagine him laughing at anything except maybe a paraplegic who wanted to vote Democratic but couldn't quite reach the lever on the voting machine -

    I liked Nixon. Aside from the whole Watergate thing, he was a pretty good president. Not to mention a solid man - few people could take the kicking around from the press that he withstood and still stand up.

    Man, fuck Cambodia. I mean, look at them on a map. The country it shaped like a bull's eye, and if you connect all the cities together it spells BOMB HERE.

    KURTZ: In 1972 Richard Nixon was riding high. He was about to embark on his historic visit to China and would soon -- after a little unpleasantness at the Watergate Hotel -- be cruising to a landslide victory over George McGovern.

    Imagine if a reporter had gotten a hold of a taped conversation between the president and the Reverend Billy Graham in which they were talking about the media.

    RICHARD NIXON, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: In the media now life is totally dominated by the Jews. "Newsweek" is all owned by Jews and dominated by them (UNINTELLIGIBLE).

    "The New York Times," "The Washington Post" -- totally Jewish ownership.

    The other thing, don't forget all three networks except for (UNINTELLIGIBLE) Brinkley or Cronkite may not be of that persuasion but the writers (UNINTELLIGIBLE) 95 percent are Jewish.

    Now what does this mean? Does this mean that all Jews are bad? No, but it does mean that most Jews...

    In this case the normal distribution of quarters is 1/radroadkills, with an average of 1 quarter per radroadkill.

    Hope that helps.

    He's also signing over my ... authority? ... to my sister. She is raising a formal complaint that I am unable to make decisions(?) and so is trying to get my ... I don't know. I don't feel like doing the research. Basically she is fighting to become arbiter of anything that requires a signature of mine and she is also, you have to remember, opposed to my transition.

    So. I have no fucking idea what's going on anymore. I'm about to steal a fistful of her Xanax and nod off since I haven't slept in like 30 hours and it sounds like a good idea.

    Hey [chat]

    I was suprisingly impressed with south park last night. Also, the new Root of All Evil show with Lewis Black ended up on my tivo for being funny enough to warrant 15 minutes of viewing.

    I'm ready for more Office, House, Heroes, Psych, Burn Notice, Futurama Movies, Nip/Tuck, and Sarah Connor Chronicles though.
