On Stefan Cook

You idiot birfer, you're a traitor. You dishonor my country.

Enjoy Leavenworth, you slime.

On Letterman

Wingnuts are still pissed off that Letterman exposed McLame's lie. This is their revenge.

And they will fail.

Remember: When Imus called an entire women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos", it was censorship to suggest he be punished. When Letterman makes a stupid joke about a public figure, it's not censorship at all to suggest he be fired. This is the way of wingnuttery.

On Trolls

If you don't have anything substantial and are reduced to lame, childish ad hominem attacks to try and make yourself feel big, don't even bother. I'm not going to waste time on you.

On Judge Sotomayor

It's sad that we need to have campaign commercials in the middle of spring because scumbag Rethugs are lying sacks of shit and will say anything to keep the country from progressing.

On Pelosi

Conservatives: "Waterboarding isn't torture! We're saving lives! Ticking time bomb! Ticking time bomb!"
News: "Pelosi may have known about waterboarding-"
Conservatives: "OMGZORZ EVIL BITCH PELOSI IS LIBERAL LYING TORTURER LOCK HER UP IMPEACH HER THROW OUT THE DEMMYCRATZ CUZ THEY KNEW TOO"
Liberals: "Uh, weren't you just saying that waterboarding wasn't torture?"
Conservatives: "WHO CARES PELOSI KNEW SO IT'S EVIL"
Me: "Shut the fuck up."

By the way: For any of you fellow liberals out there who might be thinking that Pelosi needs to be raked over the coals for this, I'd like to congratulate you on once again doing the Right's job for them.

The Floydism of Republicans

So not long ago, while still trying to get an understanding of the mindset that could possible think Mustardgate was a serious issue to attack President Obama on, I came to a startling, cold realization.

The talking heads of the GOP are Sally Floyd. If you're not familiar with Sally, I'll explain. Sally Floyd is a Marvel comics character who was notable a few years ago for an incredibly stupid list of complaints against Captain America, presented after the Civil War event. Among those, that he doesn't go to enough Nascar races, watch YouTube and the Simpsons, and doesn't know what Myspace is.

Fans were outraged by the sheer stupidity of it all, as to anyone with half a brain, they realized that those are merely fads - and while they may last a good long time, and may even become a part of our national heritage, they don't encompass what America truly is. And I realize that is the lens through which Republicans view the world.

If you aren't up to date with x, y and z - then you're not doing your part as a true American. If you don't fall into column 1, 2 or 3 - then you're not living as a true American. The biggest problem with all of these things, beyond the fact that its incredibly stupid to hold it up as your litmus test of what qualifies one to be an American, is the fleeting nature of these things.

Lets say right now it's 'cool' to hate on latte drinkers, what about in five years, when the fad flips and everyone, including yourselves, are drinking lattes? Of course the hypocrisy will be lost... if they even change at all.

So I'll say it, just as every sane human being would. The fads, or non-fads, or even choices we make as Americans, does not dictate our status as Americans. Our choice of condiments doesn't dictate our status as Americans. Our choice of clothing doesn't dictate our status as Americans. These things are, and always will be fleeting. 10 years ago, the complaint would probably have been over him ordering a CHEDDAR burger, "What is American cheese not good enough for him?" 10 years from now, the complaint may have been over the fact he ordered it medium well.

There's your problem GOP. You don't actually understand America, and as a result, are forced to try and explain it with the current (or sometimes out-of-date) cultural memes. You don't comprehend America's heart, soul, and promise; And that's why you're currently imploding.

On Libertarians

Libertardianism is a failure on every front. It's unfeasible, unworkable, and idiotic. I would suggest to libertardians that they grow the fuck up, move out of their parents' basements, stop jerking their shriveled dicks to that reactionary asshole Rand, and spend a few years working a real job, making real wages (read: shit), and dealing with real problems. That usually snaps them out of their Randian fantasies PDQ.

On John Edwards

Am I really supposed to care about this whole thing? I mean, am I honestly supposed to get all indignant and pissy?

I really don't, and I really can't. I just don't give a damn about it. It's a personal matter, not a pressing issue.

On "Mustardgate" and the Death of the GOP

The conservative movement is dead.

Its remaining loyalists, however, are a collective version of Herbert West.

Move your dead bones, GOP.

On So-Called Thoughtcrime

If hate crimes are thoughtcrime, then murder is thoughtcrime as well.

On Local Radio

I was looking at 1190 AM WOWO's Program Lineup when an idea suddenly came to me, a realization of amazing proportions.

You and I both know (presuming you live around here) that WOWO is, by and large, Ft. Wayne's home for insane right-wing horseshit. That shouldn't be too surprising to anyone. What came to me is this: When the sanest program you have in your lineup is Coast to Coast AM, your radio station has some serious problems.

On Souter's Retirement

Better it was now than a year ago. Now if only Scalia and Scalito - I mean, Alito - would get the hell off the bench, we'd be good.

On Tea Parties

Aren't these people, the self-styled "patriots" bitching about taxes that won't actually go up for most of them but are doing what Fox Noise tells them to anyway, the same ones who told us to "love it or leave it" these past eight years?

What changed to suddenly make them stalwart defenders of the right to protest? Oh, right - they lost.

On Going Galt

Let me clear this up for you idiots.  You are not John Galt.  You don’t have any creativity.  You won’t be missed if you leave society, and you won’t last outside of it.  Besides, in case you pants-pissing whiners missed it, this isn’t a stupid novel by a reactionary anti-Soviet asshole, it’s real life, and in real life people like you are a minority and the rest of us have already seen through your garbage.

I know you’re convinced, with the fervor of a flagellating zealot, of your perfection, your superiority, and your irreplaceability in society.  But let me break it to you: you’re not unique little snowflakes.  You’re ignorant, cookie-cutter children with overly-common skills.  We can replace you with people who don’t believe destructive, selfish bullshit.  In fact, I propose we do that anyway - if you won’t follow up on your toothless threats on your own, we’ll make you.

On Suspicion

From the Associated Press: Death of Travolta's son raises medical questions

Millions of children and adults have seizures in the United States, but dying from one is rare. That only adds to the confusion and mystery surrounding the life and death of Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of actors John Travolta and Kelly Preston.

The death certificate lists a seizure as the cause of death, according to an undertaker in the Bahamas, where the boy died Friday. Family representatives and lawyers declined requests Tuesday for more information, fueling speculation that has swirled for years about the boy's health.

This wouldn't be notable, except for one article that raises quite a few questions that need to be raised:

Kelly Preston blamed household cleaners and fertilizers for the disease and said a detoxification program based on Scientology teachings helped improve his health, according to People magazine.

Of Change.

It's time, once again, for the podium!

So Obama's been slowly unveiling his cabinet, and what we've found so far is a good number of folks from the Clinton days (including one Clinton herself), some more 'centrist' choices, and as we found out today, Bob Gates, current Secretary of Defense staying on at least temporarily.

What has been the response? Whining. Bitching and whining. A LITTLE from the Democratic side, mostly the much more hard left side, from what I've seen, and a lot from the Neocons and those that just plain hate Obama. Why? Because they don't have anything left to complain about.

Yes, the latest volley is the declaration that Obama's choices show that the "Change" mantra is hooey. "This isn't change!" "I want my change!" "I knew he was lying!" seem to be the rallying cry of the stupid right now. Obama has made VERY wise choices right now, from what I can see, do I like all of them? Not really, but I do understand all of them. He's finding the best people for each position. In the times we're in, that's the best thing an incoming President can do.

I swear, it seems as if some people expected "Change" to mean that he was bringing in college students. What I always took it to mean, was taking what wasn't working, and making it work. You do that by using the best people. Seriously, what next? Complain because he's still married to Michelle? "That's not change we can believe in!"

On Veterans' Day

No more veterans.

No more war.

Is that too much to ask?

On the VP debate

I didn't get to see the VP debate for the most part, as I had to work. I saw abotu the last 15 minutes of it on the TV at work, with one guy with remarkably similar beliefs to mine sitting there watching it as well.

What little I saw nauseated me. Palin got annihilated even in that short timeframe, refusing to answer questions as she apparently had the whole time.

I'm just left wondering what desperation tactic the GOP will be pulling this month.
