wow

I’m trying to find a way to help my little brother. His house burned to the ground. I’m thinking I’ll try to get him a generator, so we can go up there and get to work cleaning up his property.

OK, my brother’s house up in the hills got burned literally to the ground, he lost almost everything. For some reason the stupid old Miata he had parked there was fine. His house burns down, but the miata lives. He’s tore up, but alive. Everyone’s alive.
My house was still sitting there being ugly late last night when I went by. The air is rancid in Escondido right now.
Here’s a quick picture on where the fire is/was (it’s pretty mixed up what’s going on) and various houses threatened.

I think my house is possibly in danger of burning down, my friends and family are fleeing the flames. I am in a little tizzy and ended up work some how.

Instead, read this.

The right-wing in this country has been…well, visciously, brutally, horrifically attacking a family who had the audacity to let their son speak on the Democratic National Radio Address about S-Chip, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.
Note immediately, it’s not a government handout, it provides hundreds of thousands of children with health care they could otherwise not have, and an expansion of the bill was vetoed by the president. Only the fourth veto of his nearly seven years in office, by the way.
Anyways, after weeks of being relentlessly slimed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh (disgusting pill-gobbling man-pile) and Bill O’Reilly (increasingly insane christmas tree freedom fighter and loofah aficianado)they went on Keith Olbermann’s show Countdown, and talked about what happened with their kids and where they live. They brought a picture of the two kids in intensive care, which is basically a parent’s nightmare.
In response, Michelle Malkin, who is an inhuman pile of cancer tissue, had this to say:

The Frost parents finally made a wise choice and decided not to put their son on Olbermann. Instead, they appeared to field Olbermann’s softball questions about the “lunatic fringe.”

Olbermann prodded the family to supply pictures of their children in the hospital recovering from their terrible accident. The photos were displayed as Olbermann and the couple complained about the Right’s “distraction” techniques.

It really doesn’t get much lower or much cheaper or much sadder than this.

So not only does this scumhole not see her own perversion in chasing after, posting the address of, and in general trying to make the life miserable of these children and their parents, she doesn’t understand that maybe, just maybe, they’re interested in others who may be in their situation being able to get the help they got. The right-wing doesn’t get that. They don’t get it because it’s not about exploding brown people’s bodies into gobbets of goo. It’s not about wanking it to an Ayn Rand book. It’s about caring about someone else, and trying hard to make sure they don’t die if it can be helped. They don’t get that. Malkin certainly doesn’t. I also think she probably kills puppies for fun. The bitch.

Rush Limbaugh really wants me to puke in my shoes. This guy is such an unmitigated scum merchant…he lies like he breathes. His pure opposition to truth and facts and, I dunno, human fucking decency is so grotesque as to be almost impressive, like, say a guy who eats forty pounds of shit. You’re just totally disgusted, but at the same time, wow, what dedication. That guy must really be sick.
Of course, Rush deserves to have forty pounds of festering shit shoved down his scrip-gobbling, lie-spewing cornhole. Then sew those lips up and see how long he’ll ferment for before exploding.
That’s a mental picture I can get into! Strap the rest of those whores to him like little Thetans before the big blow. I’ll dress up as Xenu.

the right wing proves what disgusting, inhuman, fucking piles of stinking shit they are.
You thought they couldn’t be more loathsome than when they smeared an amputee Vietnam vet?
You thought they couldn’t be more disgusting when they accused an Iraq vet of being a liar?
You thought they couldn’t get any lower when they ridiculed Michael J. Fox’s illness?

You were wrong…they can get lower, and they will get lower. They’re lacking in the basic decency that makes one human. Limbaugh, Savage, O’Reilly, Malkin, Coulter…they and their whole cohort is so infected with this grotesque need to do and say things that garner them attention that it’s leeched whatever twisted, black soul they may have had right out of their disgusting bodies. They’re so in love with the tiny dollop of power they’ve smeared over themselves they’ll do anything at all necessary to ooze just a little more out of that suspiciously-shaped tube. Could it be a devil cock? I think it is a devil cock! I think Rush Limbaugh sucks Satan’s black cock lovingly, trying to squeeze every acid-filled bit of jizz that he so loves out, at every single opportunity. I don’t even believe in the supernatural devil! But I think these shit-stinking rightwingers are the closest we’ll get to a devil on earth. Any you know what? This scum hides behind flag and Constitution, and behaves as if they are patriots. They are not. The form of government they advocate is completely foreign to anyone who loves democracy, to the extent of being the opposite. They advocate fascism, corporatism, inequality, and aristocracy. They are traitors of the highest order.
And they are the ones getting all the face time on TV, on the radio. If you think the Constitution is a good thing, you should have been screaming for 7 years, at least. If you start now, it might not be too late.

This is basically the only album the Cult did where they focussed on kicking ass and didn’t worry so much about hugging and sweat lodges. And it rules.

I figured out why my feeds weren’t working, and it was the same as so many other vexing things in life: stupidity. In this case, my own stupidity, as I changed hosts. The new host has a different “web” folder name, and my stupid ass did not observe this quite completely. So, there we are.

I’ve got a delicious-smelling beer brewing from a kit i got down at Home Brew Mart by USD. They are run by the same folks who make Ballast Point, which is quite a tasty drink. I’ve been reading a lot of brewing-related stuff and just enjoying myself in general. The guys in the store were pretty busy and didn’t have any time to discuss things, and they forgot to include a spigot that goes into the hole in the bottom of my bottling bucket (which is the bucket you fill the bottles from!). The kit is great, even though I dropped my hydrometer (it’s for measuring the “gravity of liquids, basically the density) and left my siphon tube in the sanitizer too long…it turned yellow. Doy. I’m stopping by another home brew store,Hydrobrew in Oceanside, this weekend to replace that stuff.

Fifty kick-ass kids walked out of the pledge at their high school in Boulder CO to recite their own! ^{via Too Many Tribbles}
The Burmese are finding out liberty is taken, not given…I feel for those people, but until they figure out you have to kick those bastards out on their faces, and never let them back, they’ll continute to be oppressed. I mean, come on…they’re ruled by fucking generals who staged a military coup. It’s not like they took power thinking “Well, I’ll just clean up here and then hand everything back”. No. They thought “The only think lower than a civilian is a bureaucrat, so we’ll kill off a few bean counters, do a little terrorizing, and sit back with the peeled grapes and the looking shiny in new unis game.” You know what they do to people who protest? They have them killed.
Nuns gone wild! (a lot more reading than you probably would think based on the link)
