I know there’s some good things happening, slowly, being fought every step of the way by the entrenched corrupt GOP establishment:

Abramhoff is singing like a sweet, bribe slingin’ bird.
“Scooter” Libby is on trail.
“Duke” Cunningham is in jail.
Rep. “Katherine” Harris (R-FL) is staying in her Senate race, despite already hiring a lawyer to defend herself in the Wade Mitchell/Brent Wilkes bribery scandal that already took down “Duke”.
Rep. Virgil “Goode” seems to have already paid off a bribe (R-TN i believe)
As many as nine other congresscritters might be going down over MZM etc scandals alone.
Tom DeLay faces a real-live challenge in his gerrymandered district, and his former aides are being indicted by the truckload.

But all of this aside, what’s to stop Bush from just pardoning all of these fucking criminals if they can’t weasel their way out of the cases on their own? Clinton pardoned scumbag Marc Rich, along with a host of others. Of course, you can’t talk about Bill Clinton without someone saying “B-b-b-but he got a BLOWJOB! Under his DESK!” yeah yeah, shut the hell up. Stupid fucking Clinton-haters have wrecked our national discourse to an unimaginable point. But whatever, there is literally no reason why Bush won’t just pardon every single one of them. He’s a lame duck, he has no shame, and he does whatever Cheney tells him to do. Libby will be pardoned, Abramhoff probably, Ralph Reed when he’s convicted, Grover Norquist, and on and on.

When Bush leaves office his pardon-list will look like a freaking phone book. Did you know? President Bush has never vetoed a single piece of legislation. Seriously. The “fiscal conservative” has not vetoed a spending bill, a social policy bill, or tax bill (of course, he has only seen tax bills that cut taxes for people exactly like him (sorry if it’s old news, I just can’t say it enough: Bush hates poor people unless they’re mowing his lawn). But guess what! He has said he will veto any bill (possibly stemming from the vote in committee today) that threatens the takeover of US ports by a foreign state-owned company. Funny huh! And NOW, he wants congress to grant him line-item veto authority. For what?

But back to my point. Bush will pardon anyone who falls on their sword for him. He has to. See if I’m wrong.

Not much of a post, but on NPR they were talking to a kollege kid with “6 blogs”! who feels people have a stick up their ass about privacy. I just thought I’d post about the question they asked him about posting about the interview, where he previewed his post.

But they said his “blog” is on myspace? my ass. myspace is News Corp. bullshit. Avoid at all costs.

Of course, I have a myspace account too. But it’s a kitten with one eye.

In other news, xenophobia sucks. these congresscritters are all up in arms over the Dubai Ports deal, which I agree deserves consideration, but not for the reasons they gave…which seem to amount to “b-b-b-b-ut they’s A-rabs!” Not so good. How about the fact that it’s a state-owned company, and that state is known for money laundering for terrorists? That’s a lot better reason if you ask me.

B-b-b-but they’s A-rabs!

The second to last one doesn’t make any sense to me. I mean, why search for “babyfight.com”? Why not just enter it?

I had a visitor from Iran, which is weird, I don’t know anyone there, and one from Korea. Koreans have cool names.

Okay, I’m going to live under a bus forever.

I stop in at Eschaton every morning to see what’s what in the world. It’s a handy jumpin-off point to lots of fun stuff. Or rage-inducing stuff, I’m trying to keep myself from exploding in rage once in a while.
I hadn’t visited Oliver Willis‘ site in a while, and it’s worth stopping in. If only for one of the best taglines ever put under a blog headline.
A poll yesterday had Bush’s approval ratings in the 20’s. That’s pretty much where it should be. I’ve been saying for a long time the Bush clan has a natural constituency of the super-rich and those who live off the super-rich of a little less than 10% of the country, so his approval ratings should reflect that, don’t you think?
Let’s see…what has Bush done to help the poor? Nothing. He’s slashed every social program he could get near. He’s feeding their fear while trying to push through sweetheart deals for his terrorist-supporting Arab state-owned companies. He’s aggressively pursuing every safeguard that the lower class has for equitable treatment under government: “tort reform”, “health savings accounts”, regressive taxation, and on and on.

so why is a 29% approval rating surprising? It should be lower.

I was looking about at random shit, including my traffic stats (I’ve had 165 unique visitors in February! That’s an assload by my standards…), and I realized that someone had come to my site searching for “Lobster God”. Interesting…so I did a search and I’m #5 for lobster+god. First place award? GOD HATES SHRIMP

Pure joy. He does too. That’s why Lobster God is so much better. There is no hate in Lobster God. Only vast, measureless, indifference.

God hates shrimp lead me to this:

Actually, I made that, here. Total ruleosity of a high degree.

Totally funny forever.

it’s friday, i’m still homeless, yet i live.

i got red acrylic on my signed mc chris shirt, which makes me weep. There’s a waitress at Penny Lane named Rani, she had a Bebop shirt on so we ended up talking about cartoons. i showed her the shirt and she yelped with joy. mc chris….#1 with the ladies. “all the sex affects my syntax”.

in case you forgot, over on the right there are some links to cool blogs, well, i think they’re cool. Desi’s blog is over there, where you can read about what a fucker i am, and Marie’s, but she’s a drunk degenerate, so you take what you can get. Anger Mis-Mangement is my friend Ikoi’s blog, if she hasn’t had an aneurysm over recent anti-abortion triumphs. I nearly have.

sometimes the people of this country make me so depressed…they’re so aggressively stupid, ignorant with a chip on their shoulder about it…it’s fucked up, amazing, unbearable. The recent Dover School Board case makes me fear for our future…we actually have to file lawsuits to keep people from calling creationism science. That’s the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard of. i mean, trying to teach creationism, be it through “intelligent design” or the newest one, “critical analysis”, as science is not only fucking stupid non-science, it’s fucking heretical too.

ah well. i’m going to try and reap the sweet blessings of the Lobster God this weekend….perhaps if I’m lucky I will be blessed with some of his kids to eat and turn into poop.

I love fuckin’ Erasure. I didn’t remember that…isn’t it weird how you can love something and forget about it at the same time? I saw them in like 1990 at UC Irvine and it ruled…Andy Bell in a green-sequined wrestling singlet talking about eating cucumber sandwiches…

Anyone else love that band? There was a show on the “gay channel”, Logo, that apparently is only available on satellite? I dunno. wev. Anyways, the show was basically a whole Erasure concert beginning to end, with all the crazy outfits and dance numbers and skits. They had a couple encores, including one that was just brilliant: After going offstage, Andy and Vince came back onstage in little bathrobes, Vince with a small keyboard and Andy with his mic….they started a simple simple song with a few notes on the keyboard and vocals. It was cool as hell. Vincent had a little vehicle with all his equipment in it…it looked like the basket from a crazy hot-air balloon.

Whoa, I just went off on Erasure for a while there. I think I’m the gayest straight guy alive….

I haven’t been able to access my beloved intarnets for days and days because of the lack of said on my mom’s floor, where i’m living until escrow closes.

We’re living in some savage fucking times right now. We’ve got fundamentalists torturing, rioting, and above all killing on a daily basis over nuances of religious difference and policy implementation. There’s no difference between the radical rule of the Taliban and the religious/corporate right in America. They just wear different costumes, and of course the Taliban (literally, “Students”) get their asses bombed from time to time by the Great Satan.

The environment is under assault in some truly stunning ways, from small things (relatively), like the Clean Water Act being potentially gutted soon, to large things, like an increase in the acidity of the oceans to levels not seens since the dinosaur die-off. Oh joy.

It’s savage. It’s brutal and disgusting.

Remember Ralph Nader? He got us President Bush. Thanks Ralph.

Well, the good-ish part is that it will end some day. I’ll die, or the faction that backs Bush and his ilk will lose their grip on power. I’m guessing it will be largely through the collapse of the oil-based economy. There will be more violence.

Hang in there, and support research into other energy sources.

Ann Coulter, sporting “her” mighty adam’s apple, has been a disgusting boil on the hindquarters of our country for a long time, a veritable propaganda machine spewing lies, hate, and bile onto America for going on 15 years now. Whitehouse.org, a hilarious site, has a sweet feature called “Ask Ann”. Check it out, good shit. The best/worst part is, of course, that it’s basically right on the mark. A sample of the Q&A:

Gavin, from St. Louis, Missouri writes:
I’d like to take you up on your offer to poison a Supreme Court Justice. However, what poison and tactic do you best recommend?

Ann Coulter:
LOL! Very funny, Gavin. You’re of course referring to my recent hilarious crack that we need someone to poison John Paul Stevens. What most of the liberal media jerkoffs failed to report however is that I immediately added, “THAT’S JUST A JOKE!!” – which everyone knows makes saying anything instantly OK. What’s the big deal? I do it all the time. Why just last week, I was waiting in line at the airport and said, “We need somebody to light the fuse of this 11″ vibrating dildo-bomb I have jimmied up my cavernous man-hole.” But then I said, “That’s just a joke, for you in the TSA jackets!” So everything was fine.

They also have just a massive amount of cool “Fuck you, Bush” art, stories, and what not. Here’s the link to their Cafepress store:

That rocks.

So swing by. I just spotted the link to Landover Baptist Church, which I’d nearly forgotten about, at the bottom…take some time, enjoy Whitehouse.org and Landover Baptist. Sip some finely crafted satire, baby.

If you’ve ever wanted to see a complete and painfully thorough destruction of someone’s arguement online, go to the Poor Man as soon as you can….my god it made me happy!

Apparently there was a bit of a to-do with a commenter named “tigerhawk” or some bullshit.

Personally, I think the President is a horrible fucking stupid cunt and his policies are for shit. Your results may vary.

God damn, it’s a long post, but boy-oh-boy, it takes apart the crap arguments of these fuckwad losers nicely.
