An Experiment in Adjusting an Alcohol-based Reality Filter.
The more beer you drink, the more the world seems to make sense. I'm not sure if this is the beer's fault, or the world's. Experiments proceed.
For pigeonholing purposes, I consider myself a South Park Conservative: I believe in Loose Women and Tight Borders but I'm getting anime porn and legally mandated lounges for day laborers...further adjustment to the model may be needed.

Robert Stacy McCain posted an interview with Daily Caller producer Michelle Fields on her harrassment at the hands of Occupy DC protesters trying to interfere with the Defend the American Drea, Conference In Washington yesterday.
This prompted the Daily Caller to respond with their usual compassion and sensitivity towards women:
"Jim Treacher:"You'd think she quoted Mike Tyson or something..."
Yes, Jim, Daily caller posting this:
is exactly what Michelle was doing trying to interview people. The conservative blogosphere gets classier every day...
Bet they didn't see this when they voted it all those Tony Awards. (Caution: if you haven't seen the play yet — but you do want to — some of these observations might hint at spoilers. I'll do my best to avoid them).
1. The public face of the villains is a charismatic airhead manipulated by sinister advisers (liberals)
2. The ruler of Oz gains power by claiming to fix the weather (Hello, Al)
3. The university is run by an ignorant, posturing bureaucrat who suppresses teachers holding minority views (84% of modern university professors self-identify as "liberals")
4. Those teachers are denied the ability to speak. (liberal campus speech protests and codes)
5. The heroine insists on standing up for her decent principles against state pressure (conservative)
6. She champions the suppressed teacher (conservative)
7. She takes responsibility for her own actions, good and bad. (conservative)
8. The leaders try to get her to do all the work so they can take credit and increase their power (liberal)
9. Her enemies blame her for their shortcomings and mistakes and try to punish her for their failings (liberal, hell - OWS)
10. She redeems an enemy by her own courage and example (conservative)
11. In the end, she opts out of the corrupt system. (conservative verging on libertarian)
12. The rich, privileged guy is a good guy (conservative)
Seriously, conservatives should all be going to see this play...
