Dignity debased; how vilely is the function of a consul prostituted!" ~The Craftsman Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:25:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Roach http://www.theamericanconservative.com/larison/2008/06/09/barack-lightworker/comment-page-1/#comment-11452 Roach Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:30:10 +0000 http://www.amconmag.com/larison/2008/06/09/barack-lightworker/#comment-11452 Many years ago I was in Ruidoso NM on a weekend retreat with a New Agey girlfriend and at some point, I was getting a New Agey massage by a professional. It was pleasant enough. I was chatting as she was walking on my back and there was some kind of Buddha waterfall in the background. At some point, the masseuse told me that "energy workers" were hard to work on and take a lot of patience. Working at the big oil law firm of Baker Botts in Dallas, I said, you mean like folks at KBR and Shell, rough necks, that sort of thing? The awkwardness ensued. Apparently "energy worker" meant like people that do some kind of shamanism with crystals. I was pretty darn confused. Oh well, the massage was good enough.

This stuff makes me crazy. We have a shot at electing the first legitimately liberal president in decades, a guy who actually seems to have thoughts in his head and to take seriously the fact that there are other people who have thoughts in their heads, and we have goofy people like this trying to make all of his supporters look like cultists. Is it too much to ask that we say something like "This guy just put together a coalition that beat the Clintons in a Democratic primary. He's an incredibly gifted politician with some good ideas about the country" and leave it at that? Ack. This stuff makes me crazy.
