Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh and their ilk have taken fear-mongering to an entirely new level in recent weeks. I’ve been remiss in posting of late, but the GOP has inspired me to continue on a theme I started a few months ago and compile a list of “things chicken-shit Republicans are scared of,” based on their recent rhetoric.

(Please add to this list as you see fit via the comments box at the end of the post.)

• Homosexuals
• Health care for all citizens
• Guantanamo detainees in U.S. prisons (but not the 1993 WTC bombers, serial killers, assassins, et. al. already here)
• People who aren’t white
• Life without guns
• Alternate points of view
• Competition
• Freedom of choice
• Their neighbors
• Terrorists
• The thought of terrorists
• People who look like terrorists
• College Democrats
• Civil liberties
• Sharing
• Original thinking
• Barbara Bush Sr.
• The French
• Walking down the street
• Rap music
• Happiness
• Success
• The future
• BARACK OBAMA

I didn’t think I could dislike LeBron James

Four games into the Cleveland-Orlando series, I have come to despise LeBron James. His sense of entitlement, illustrated best as he whines to refs, is unbelievable. I took great joy in watching him commit turnover after turnover to help his team lose Game 4 to the Magic.
