I don’t know what its in reference to, but this jersey was rockin…

Note: It’s supposed to say “Diplomats”.

In case anyone was wondering.

I cry fat hot tears.

Read the crawl on the bottom. So very fuckin’ true.
I got this from here.

Here we go! There is no tragedy monumental enough that politicians won’t attempt to make a buck on it, from both parties. Of course, the GOP has elevated graft and corruption to an artform, rivalling the old Democratic Machine. These days, it’s a lot more entertaining to watch the ruthless Machiavellian crap-a-thon that is the modern Republican party than to watch the mewling kittens of the Democrats. And of course by fun I mean “trying to hold down the vomit and tears”.

Just keep your eyes open for fun instances of graft, profiteering, and even more racism! Let me know when you see ’em. Also, politcal photo-ops for Bush that cause rescue equipment to be grounded in deference to His Fucking Majesty George the Fucking Second, may he shit glass:

…for the entire time Bush was in the state, the congressman said, a ban on helicopter flights further stalled the delivery of food and supplies.

You know, this shit has been going on for hudreds of years, and will continue. If you’re worth less than 80 mill, or are Black, Brown, Yellow or Red, you do not matter one god damn to the ruling elites. Period. The sooner you realize that, the sooner we change it.

The definition of “contradiction in terms”

Total hilarity. I cannot believe what a load these people are…I found this image, a blatant contradiction in terms, at a website dedicated to “Stopping the ACLU”, from, I suppose, defending people’s constitutional rights. People like noted Leftist Rush Limbaugh.

Anywhoo, apparently “Professor” Reynolds at the craptacular crapstand Instapundit said that attacking the ACLU was “a bit silly”, and caused a shitstorm to erupt in the tiny minority of furious right-wingers hunkered down in mom’s basement their fallout shelters because, well, shit! the ACLU supports witches! And it doesn’t kowtow to churches! The ACLU refuses to have their actions determined by corporate money! That means they support terrorists!

Don’t look now, but the class war is beginning to come through even more clearly. The elite are finding it harder to distract the masses, and the buffer zone of “barely acceptables”, like Mr. I-Hate-The-ACLU and, say, Sean “Retarded Bag of Human Excrement” Hannity is getting thinner as the craziest depart rightwards to militia-land. Letting the press corps get to such an elite state was likely a strategic slipup in the longterm goals of the money classes, as they are less aspiring to that prize…thus more interested in bennies than in getting their hands dirty. As a result the critical task of manipulating the weak masses goes to second-rate hacks like Hannity, Scarborough, and the execrable Bill O’Reilly. They only know how to do this job through crude, violent rhetorical measures. That and lying. So it weakens the barely-not-poor buffer of the kind-of accepted and allows the hatred of the trod-upon to show.

I’m reading a book about early 1800’s labor agitation, and fucked if it isn’t almost exactly the same. Wait til gas prices skyrocket further, and wages decrease, and we see bread lines again. Not that it’ll hurt, say, Bush or Cheney, but lord amighty it’ll hurt you. And me, and the barely-nots and the barely-acceptables. Then watch what happens. Fucking chaos.

Seriously, stock up on clean water.

I know I’m degenerating into a reliable pattern here, but dammit, I like it. It’s late as hell and I should be in bed (Des has to wake up in an hour and a half to go to work), but I can’t sleep. I just finished reading The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and it had me a little fired up. I read through some fun at Open Secrets (aka the Center for Responsive Politics) and goggled at how much dinero my fellow ZIP-code mates have given W, the Nation-Rapist.
I was winding down when I noticed a Coke commercial that fit nicely in with the polemics against corporate destruction of human life that I’ve spent the last few days poring over. The “Make it real” spots from fucking Coke make me so goddamned angry with their fake-ass “real teens” “hitting the road” to “discover” what other “real teens” are “up to” and “dispel” “myths” “about” how teenagers are lazy fucks who want to screw and eat chips (quite true in my experience as a teenager). They have these fucking retards acting like they just loaded up their own widdle station wagon and went around the country just happening upon pirate radio DJ’s, jackasses with pickups full of snow, and “bicycle jousters”, which is exactly what it sounds like. A few questions are left fucking begging, in loud voices like the dead people in Chile, exterminated by cola-nut corporate pressure on US government decision-making. These ass-mongering “real teens” should be lobbed into the nearest incinerator for not having the common fucking sense to see that the very idea of being a human is getting a steaming pile loaded up on top of it with their collusion on this wretched commercial abortion, in the words of Stewart Gilligan Griffin. I hate you, Coca-Cola “teen” actors, and hope you are hit with the shrapnel from the meteor strike that kills your directors, writers, creative team, board of directors, and CEO.
Corporations are the giant throbbing tumor in the brain of the world. Night!

This is “Reverend” Pat Robertson saying we should assassinate a democratically-elected chief executive of a foreign country.
Read it again. Go on.

Hugo Chavez has been put in power by poor, exploited, downtrodden people in Venezuela. The upper-middle and upper classes see Chavez as a threat to them, despite the miraculous fact that they are still upper-middle and upper class. The Poor (most Venezuelans) see Chavez as a good dude: He sends out milk to malnourished kids, helps people build homes. He was deposed momentarily in a US-sponsored coup attempt a few years back, and after a few million Venezuelas marched on the capitol building (I think it’s called “Presidential Palace” in those places…weird!) and basically said to the sham “inauguration” going on inside: “You can leave by the stairs, or you can leave by the window. Or all of your bits can leave via discreet routes determined by mortar fire”, Chavez was back in the seat he was democratically elected to serve in.
You might think to yourself “Venezuela? Who gives a flying fuck about Venezuela?” and you’d be right in reference to most Americans. Except for one thing almost all Americans care about: Oil. Venezuela sits on a shitload of oil. Hugo Chavez is the director of OPEC, or was recently, I forget. And he came to power on a wave of populist demand for land and economic reform to lessen the crushing poverty in Venezuela. He’s not perfect, by any means (sound familiar?). But he was elected, and that means our government should NOT be sending in hitmen, our people should NOT be talking shit like that, and creeps like Robertson should go back to rolling around in the fucking billions they’ve lifted off of fucking morons for their entire lives.
I was going to go on but I just about blew a fucking gasket reading about Robertson. What a vile piece of absolute human scum.

Note: In an effort to prove how little of a shit Americans give about counties populated with poor brown people, I several times typo’d Venezuela to “Valenzuela” in the original post. Jesus! Stupid baseball is even more forward in my brain that poor brown people. I’m one of the assholes I’m writing about! I’m going to go jump into traffic.

Does anyone else think that any real live Christian should be fully annoyed by the Intelligent Design jackasses co-opting their whole damn worldview? Now, anyone who believes that evolution and creationism (ie, God made the earth and all that other shit, and it went forward from there) is lumped together with retards who think God sits in a workshop like Bob Villa, meticulously putting eyeballs and thumbs together. Is that the stupidest fucking thing you have ever heard or what?
What happened to a transcendental god who simply is? I mean, if you’re going to have faith, have some real faith, assholes, don’t try to mask your fucknuttery in psuedoscientific mumbo-jumbo. I think religious people who believe the bible literally are insane, but that has nothing to do with the fact that ID proponents are making god into a larger-than-life putterer. If I was insane enough to believe that shit, I’d go for the angry, smiting god, frankly. A god with some pizzazz.

This is one of the funnier things I’ve ever seen.
Bush as art. Just roll that around on your tongue for a while. Bush as farce? Sure. Bush as eternal national shame? Okay, I can buy that. But art? Doesn’t it just basically take the whole concept of art, in all its glory and ridiculousness and raw, untamed humanity, and stamp a fat “McDONALD’s” across it, turn it into a crass, sad ghost of itself? Bush as art? What about shit as food? Seems roughly analogous.
I just saw a Headline News bit about gas prices. The fun part about gas prices is that current per-barrel prices have nothing to do with the gas that they’re selling in stations right at this moment. The prices they holler about are futures prices, contracts to buy oil in the near future at a given price. The commodities markets are one of the great engines of capitalist ideal, and these ones are no exception…but they’re not refined gasoline. We’re being fucking gouged by gas companies. And every single industry and business will use it to increase prices. You are being bent over and fucked in the interests of temporary corporate profit, without a doubt.
Elementary school teacher had sex with 13-year-old boy. My lord, they showed this woman on TV, she could basically get a dude at any point, what’s with banging a 13 year old? Mental illness= TV GOLD.
I’m going to bed, it’s 2:30 in the morning, what the hell am I awake for?
Send me pictures of yourselves.
