From a viral e-mail entitled, "I Am a Conservative Shitheel."
This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like, using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issed by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to ny house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it's valuables thanks to the local police department.
I then log on to the internet which was developed by the defense advanced research projects administration and post on freerepublic and Fox news forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right.

I wasn't comparing Jimmy Carter to John J. Miller in any way, I only referenced Carter because he writes fiction. The point I was making was that if a conservative friend spent a good part of his day going on about one of Carter's fiction books, that only wished to trash Carter the fiction writer because he hated Carter the incompetent liberal president, and then decided to write a review of it on Amazon based on one or two sentences that were blurbed on it, I'd also tell him to get a life.
I can't think of any other liberals recently having written historical fiction that readily come to mind, but if Gelnn Greenwald decided to write a fictional novel, or say Andrew Sullivan decided to write his fantasy fictional account of the conception and delivery of Trigg Palin, I can assure you, I wouldn't be hanging out on a conservative website trying to outdo everyone else to see how who could be the most obnoxious in trashing it. And you can be damn sure I wouldn't be logging in to Amazon.com to write a review based on a couple sentences I didn't think were up to my literary standards.
Understand now, Joe Max? I'm sorry if you were offended that I just happened to choose your hero Jimmy Carter to make that point. Other than being a fictional writer involved in liberal politics, the choice had no other applicability to my point.
Idiot.
