Light and goodness

They say sunshine is the best disinfectant, but I wonder about that.

Ever notice how the Boiler Room's blog is all dark and conspiratorial and macabre? Pictures of gun-toting jingo dudes, mutants with eye patches or with weird eyeballs on the outside of their heads, talk of commando forces, etc. What's up with that?

And it's not just a hard-boiled veneer. (The recent post with the picture of a flower is transparent pandering.) As of this morning, you couldn't post a comment to the Boiler Room blog without waiting for the blog's moderator to censor or approve it. What are they afraid of?

The Bunker, on the other hand, is all openness and light and love. (I'm not so sure about the fly-squashing guy in the annex, but we'll try to rehabilitate him.) And you can post your comments directly to the blog...no censors keeping a tight grip on the content.

Oddly enough, the Boiler Room lackeys, blessed with big windows and fresh air, are the ones with the twisted bunker mentality. It's sad.

You, the reader, are free to prefer the Cheney-like dark creepiness of the Boiler Room blog, of course. But we invite you to embrace the more positive, Obama-like openness and optimism of the Bunker blog.

Join us. Yes we can!

You know, I'm not sure I appreciate these thinly-veiled political references - some of may have voted for G.W.B. and resent the implication that Cheney is marked by anything less than openness and integrity.
