The New Majority, David Frum’s attempt to wrest conservatism from the flapping jaws of talk radio, is on my occasional reading list. Frum, former Bush II speechwriter and author of the infamous “Axis of Evil” speech, is unhappy Limbaugh has become the Republican Party‘s titular head. Frum's afraid that overwrought mobs replacing hallowed corporate boardrooms will taint the spirit of true conservatism. Offering non-tobacco chewers uncomfortable with armed rabble an outlet to salvage what’s left of Reagan’s Shining City, Frum is facing a daunting task. Judging from the comments (similar in tenor to the Globe’s online hecklers), he’ll be lucky to escape with his Blackberry before real Americans chase him back to Canadian socialism. Tempted to offer Frum encouragement, I’d rather inspire Fred Thompson to rise from the recliner and reclaim his rightful place as America’s laconic Crockett. Okay, I’m just dying to wear my coonskin cap. The cap and authentic Peter Tork fringe jacket is a dashing ensemble, especially if limping about in a pair of beaded Petro moccasins.

I see where someone from Sarah Palin’s staff updated her Face Book account with a plea for civil discourse -- this after she panted about Obama’s ghoulish intentions to murder baby Trigg. It was asking a lot for Sarah to contribute sensible input regarding the health care debate without first committing an act of political burlesque. Obviously, she has access to people who can write a complete sentence. The danger of hiring a Face Book ghostwriter is alienating her adoring cult. Suspicions will arise should the ghostwriter accidentally mention recently read newspapers.

Kenneth Gladney, a young tea bagger protesting government funded health care, was shoved by an SEIU thug, and is asking for your help. Because Gladney was recently laid off from work, he has no health insurance. A man of principle, he would rather solicit funds from complete strangers rather than take one single cent from Obamacare. Hiring a trial lawyer, Gladney is suing the union goon for committing a hate crime. Because both accused and accuser are black, this falls under the double reverse discrimination clause. Although video shows Gladney suffering from no ill-effects after the push, ‘lawyer whiplash’ is well known for its delayed reaction time. Americans United Against Health Care is unsure how to exploit the young man at spontaneous brouhahas. Uncomfortable with Kenneth the Uninsured, Lacy Sheets, former claims denier and current spokesperson for the non-partisan special interest group, is confident that a catchy moniker can be created before the media loses interest.
