goofballs

You know who I am talking to. Drop out. Because this year, this election, more and younger people are finally getting excited and involved in politics, and if you steal this election away from them, they will not vote again for a long time, if ever. Drop out. You are behind. Its March. McCain's polling figures are looking more favorable day after day. Drop out. You are a conniving, slimy, reprehensible human being if you think you can broker the nomination, you dirty, partisan jerk. Drop out. Earth to Hillary Clinton, drop the fuck out of the race.

Yesterday was the day that Senator Barack Obama won the election:

Much moronic ado has been made of Sheik Barack Hussein Mohamed bin Obama of the Secret Caliphate Order to Destroy America not sporting the secret gay-code jewelery adornment of the Guns-god-illicit-bathroom-sex loving right wing. Salon.com paraphrases Senator Obama, I think, correctly: Obama said he had worn a pin after 9/11 but stopped once he began to notice, and here I paraphrase wildly but no doubt accurately, that most of the people still wearing lapel flags were assholes. Damn skippy, they are. As a liberal, I understand symbols. Symbols are like art, and art, like health care and education, is one of the many dastardly socialist programs I would like the downtrodden taxpayer to have the burden of paying for (and never-mind most of your tax dollars fund the military, payolas for agri-business, oil interests, and corporate welfare, not to mention paying all those phone bills for all that illegally seized wiretap data). I get it. If you want to wear a flag pin on your lapel, great....

This post is dedicated to the thin skinned, weak willed morons who are fundamentalist Islamics. You know, the ones who get their panties in a bunch over cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohamed? Fact: Mohamed, if he ever existed in person was, a pedophile That is what you call someone who marries their 9-year old cousin. insane That is what you call someone who sees a horse with a man's head and hears voices. a war mongerer But who wasn't back them. Don't get me started on what a certain other tribe did to everyone in Canaan a few centuries back. Muslims.. you worship Mohamed as bad as Christians worship Jesus. You claim not to, but you do, apparently some misogynistic maniac version of him. How else do you explain honor killings, labial mutilation and the burqa? What, are you afraid of girls ? The word of Allah? Is meaningless. Allah is a figment of your imagination. Now, I can allow someone to embrace whatever irrational fantasy they want to, until and unless it starts to i...

These are my opinions, based on what I have seen, read, observed and extrapolated. September 11, 2001 was a conspiracy, and an insidious one. Call it luck, or coincidence, or divine will, but, the conspiracy succeeded (at least, 75% success) in its aims. Here are some of the common claims of "9/11 Truthers", and my personal thoughts about those claims: Steel melts at a higher temperature than Jet-A fuel burns. True . But drywall, paper, plastics, human beings, furniture, paint, and other materials present in those buildings burn at higher temperatures. Furthermore, the Jet-A fuel would have quickly burnt off, but it would have ignited other substances that burn at higher temperatures. Furthermore, steel weakens when exposed to heat. Anyone who has even sharpened a knife, or shot slugs into a traffic sign, or even bent a spoon with a Bic lighter knows this. Therefore, it was not necessary to actually melt the steel to weaken it, and even if that was not enough to bring down th...

In the tradition of Aaron Sorkin, John Grisham, David Simon and Bill Moyers, Writer's Guild member Seth MacFarlane contributes this heartbreaking allegory about the stakes of the current guild negotiations: The Negotiating Table on FunnyOrDie.com

On Monday, President Bush will give his (hopefully) final State of the Union address. Because of procedural and behind the scenes bullying by the Republicans, the Senate is poised to schedule the SIC-marked up FISA bill Monday, where it will hopefully be filibustered. The SIC bill grants retroactive immunity to United States telecommunications companies who, without any authorization other than Dick Cheney asking them (and I'm sure not nicely) took it upon themselves to spy on American citizens -- without a warrant . There are those who will claim, as the President surely will Monday night, that Democratic obstruction to extending FISA updates past February (which the SJC marked up bill does, by the way) will put American's in danger. The argument, according to right-wing operatives, is that if carte blanche amnesty is not fully granted without compromise then suddenly NSA collection will grind to a halt, allowing Terrorists to Slaughter Americans in America with impunity.
