I kinda like that Obama called Kanye a jackass. Know why? Because he is. I like this side of him. Obama, not the jackass.
Kinda like how he handled Joe Wilson’s retarded outburst. Kinda like him sinking an unscripted, non-rehearsed three pointer in front of a 60 Minutes camera crew. Kinda like his speech about Reverend Wright when everyone anticipated some sorta Mea Culpa. He’s so fucking cool.
Wouldn’t it be the damn dickens to eavesdrop on the pillow talk between he and the first lady? You know that would be some funny and revealing shit. She’s hot. A long limbed beauty with a booty. What really informs her sexiness though, is her intelligence and subtle strength. Michelle Obama possess a certain physical grace, but it is her emotional deftness and intellectually adroit approach, evidenced by the shine of her smile, the shimmer in her eyes and the subtle edge of her tongue. She comports herself likes she’s been America’s first black First Lady since she was eighteen. A beauty Queen with a big ass brain. I adore her.
Were I Obama, I would have chased that until the road ran out too. His wife speaks volumes about him. Not so much because he was able to make an honest woman of her, more to do with her allowing herself to be exclusive to him forever. He was no doubt an impressive man when they met. A conspicuous education, but the pedigree potential of a hospital administrator or assistant DA maybe. He wasn’t exactly presidential for reasons obvious and reasons less than. Feel me?
I doubt that Michelle Obama is a woman who takes any shit, not from her husband and not from anyone else.
I have been impressed with her from day one. They appear to be a gorgeous family unit. I believe with all my fibers that we are lucky to have them in the White House. When she said she was proud of her country for the first time, I understood exactly what she meant. You bet. Fuckin’ A. Me too. First time in a long time.
I wonder how the average American woman estimates our president’s hotness. He’s tall and athletic, but he looks a little goofy to me. That is until he opens his mouth. The greatest orator of our time. It’s not just rhythm, cadence and lilt, it’s substance and yes, soaring inspirational rhetoric. I venture those who would despise him do so because they are confused by his charisma and threatened by his prowess. A half African American president who embodies the antithesis of their previous stumbling and bumbling champion in every single way.
Smart, where Dumbya was well, dumb. Articulate where Bush was um, dumb and lacked eloquence altogether. Lucid as opposed to clueless. In control and on the case, whereas monkey boy spent a third of his tenure on vacation, pants around his ankles, while Cheney and company did whatever the fuck they wanted. Before, during and after every national disaster on their watch. You, know, murder, torture, war profiteering, hurricanes, stage four financial cancer and stealing candy from babies of war veterans.
Humans with compassion and wisdom instead of a carnival of assholes.
Big stupid toast and the sigh of brainrot. Superman vs. Karl Rove or Max Headroom.
People Magazine vs. National Geographic.
This compare and contrast is exactly why they hate him.
Politics certainly ain’t what it used to be. I remember disagreeing on policy and issues but this game of vilifying one’s opponent with the powderless ammunition of nothing but perceived or exaggerated moral or ethical imperatives is nonsense. It’s a cheap and tawdry counter to the people’s best interest. There exists no legitimate place for it. Manchildren like Beckerhead, The Human Shitsmear and Hannity propagate it for nothing other than profit. They have no shame.
Elected officials purvey such less than fine filth without conscience or even a single eye towards consequence. They don’t give a mad fuck what happens should we not enact new law dealing with the inequities and egregious avarice of contemporary health care. These people would oppose anything at any cost to defeat the magic negro, regardless of the total due to their own constituents. They will, without reservation, break the backs of the same people who elected them, to hand our first progressive half African American President a Waterloo.
Such singleminded, disciplined adherence to demagoguery reminds me of only one modern regime. Irony is it’s the same one they consistently and ignorantly hurl at any and all who endorse what is best for everyone including them. It just keeps going round and round. Where she stops, nobody knows.
It’s wearing me the fuck out. Conventional wisdom, common sense and the responsible polls, eat me Rassmusen, tell us the majority of America is overwhelmingly in favor of what this administration attempts to advance. It’s what we voted for. It’s what we want. We delivered a voluntary popular mandate. What happened was, we espoused free will.
So they lie, they obfuscate and they conceal and confound. And not a goddamn thing gets done because Democrats are almost as filthy and far more spineless. Obama tells us change must happen from the top down, not the bottom up. Ketchup little tomato. We don’t like the way you fight. Even democrats wonder if you’re a sissy and that’s just an emasculation proclamation.
I guarantee you a fighting force if you just announce the charge. What are you waiting for? Stop fucking around with Republicans and wiping Blue Dog asses and while you’re at it tell Max Baucus to blow me. Why aren’t you out in front proclaiming the Baucus bill is utter shite? Why? Kick this ludicrous circus out of town and get on with it. You wanna be the next Jimmy Carter, with a majority in both houses? You have a majority of both citizens and lawmakers. A mandate entirely different than Dumbya declared. Your detractors hate and fear you and that will not change no matter what you do. Let’s go goddamnit. Time to get on with it.
Let’s do as much damage as we can and not worry about what happens next. Just like them. Time for rubber to meet road.
Bring it.

This makes me furious
http://www.truthout.org/052209R
Cut & paste. It’s unbelievable. It scares me.
Darth Cheney.
I cannot countenance who we are. I can’t stand what we’ve allowed ourselves to become. I can’t stomach those who would defend these bastards and the actions they so relentlessly try to sell us as performed on our behalf. For our safety, they tell us.
This is bullshit. These are egregious crimes. These people are lying. The media pads around it with careful feet on deep pile Berber, giving them their say. People died in custody of the United States government. The sickest aspect? They probably expired whilst we pursued our efforts to extract reason for a war that Darth fucking Cheney knew was complete crap.
Bullshit.
Despite all this, we still have to suffer through the airtime the mainstream media affords this lying, disgusting evil jackass who spent his eight years in office doing his damndest to pervert, distort and destroy all things that allowed Americans to be proud.
I bet this guy is hung like a gnat. Had a giant safe in his office. Kinda the bureaucratic equivalent of a big stupid truck in the ‘burbs. See what I’m saying?
Look, I’m not naive. Any American who’s lived with eyes wide open for the past handful of years, understands all too well what the Dick-in-Bush regime has done in our name. What chaps my ass with such profound cheese grating efficacy, is that this pinhead Cheney, is allowed for a single second to utilize public airwaves in an attempt to mitigate, in such an obvious fashion of puerile necropsy, policies and actions that have indelibly stained us all.
Actions and policies, for which he should clearly be behind goddamn bars.
It’s crap. Elaborate falsehoods. Complete shite.
The neocons and this dickhead Cheney in particular, are attempting to rewrite history as we let them into our living rooms every evening for such dubious ends. Man, I hate these guys. In the words of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, “Goddamn America”. Any asshole who even attempts to change the elaborate and true path of human events past, should be muzzled and pelted with rocks and garbage.
“They pelted me with rocks and garbage”.
History is sacred and Cheney will do his best, but his legacy will ooze a vile, stinking sewage. Not even gulls will go near it. The EPA will get involved.
Write your local network affiliate, tell them you don’t want to see the vulgar and vile visage of this man or any of his lackeys on your television anymore. Lying to you and impugning the efforts of the man we elected by an unprecedented majority to right the wrongs his administration and office so recklessly and relentlessly pursued and wrought.
I’m all for free speech. But not if what you say on our air is an incendiary lie. It is crying fire in a crowded theater. At the very least the crawl underneath should go bold and all caps when he lies. Cheny’s kinda soft spoken so it would be like someone yelling from underneath. I’ll call Rupert.
We, America, tortured. We killed people in our charge. Worse, we killed hundreds of thousands and visited life altering suffering on millions for no good goddamn reason. I’m ashamed of my country and you should be too.
Who are we? What have we allowed ourselves to become?
This tumor is us.
This parading of a simple dog and a forlorn pony is contemptible and absurd. Stand up. Be an American. Do not tolerate this man man and his lies.
We are so much better than this.
Tell Rush Limbaugh he can blow me.
I’m trying to tell you something and you should listen.

Behold a pale horse
So it begins.
What a shame.
We were expecting it weren’t we?
They set to sea to plumb the depths for the next twenty eight days. Oh boy. I knew it would piss me off.
Governor Avon Lady* accused Our Man of “palling around with a domestic terrorists”, today. She refers of course, to Bill Ayers.
Our Man served on the same board, that of a charity for public schools. He was chairman. Yes, there were other associations but at the end of the day:
“……the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called “somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.” -NYT
Ayers is currently a respected and esteemed professor at the University of Illinois in Chicago. He’s been praised by Richard M. Daley as a valuable community leader. I would posit that to be a more dubious connection than Ayers to Obama.
We likes us some Daley, his father gave JFK command of the ship.
I hear Moosewoman is attemtping to resurrect the by now rotting corpse that was the Reverend Wright controversy. Yet another pale and very dead horse exhumed for flogging.
Fucking silly.
All painfully obviated in predictability. Easier to foresee than events subsequent to sticking any given digit or protuberance into a household electrical outlet. Just like fucking with the Jack Link’s Sasquatch. Outcome inevitability, off the scale.
Why?
Because on the issues, Doubtfire and What’s Her Name own the political equivalent of not even dick. They have nothing. They do not have dick.
He’s a terrorist, he’s a muslim, he’s a nigger! Good God, run for the hills. Steadfast family values and the enrichment of a small percentage of white people are at stake. Contact your local militia. Don’t talk to any Jews or Black people even if they tell you they’re voting McFuckstain*. Whatever you do, ignore the issues. Don’t tolerate any discussion regarding the economy, the war etc.
The message is clear, our rapidly imploding economy and potential global warfare and strife are not what’s important. What IS important is our way of life, hand in hand with good Christian acts and zero tolerance of anyone remotely different. Without food or gas maybe.
It doesn’t matter that McCain provided enthusiatic oral relief to Charles Keating in exchange for cash and prizes two plus decades after William Ayers protested the Vietnam war. It’s irrelevant that McFuckstain and his champion economic adviser, Phil Gramm, were the self appointed laureates of deregulation.
Here’s what we need to keep our eye on. The next President is going to inherit a ship with sales so tattered, she can barely catch enough wind to steer. A hull so compromised, she rides lower by the day. A crew so demoralized, if they ever see land again, they’ll all find counseling before they look for water.
If you’re among the rare, pink eyed albino undecided voters, you need to study this vessel and who you think can handle preventing it from becoming an aimless spectre. A ghost ship.
So, your skiff is no longer in this regatta. No excuse to throw your vote away. Unfortunately, third party alternatives are still a waste of energy. Now is not the time to stand on principle at the expense of pragmatism. Man up and pick the lesser of two evils. We’ve been doing it for years. This time, one is way less evil, far smarter and far more sincere than the other. A good man that just might change the way we look at ourselves on top of being able to slow or maybe halt this march to madness.
Wouldn’t that be swell?
Do you really want to risk being called a pussy for the next four years while we suffer under the other man flirting with the ethereal? One who will likely cross over into that realm while President, thereby abdicating the chair to a successful Avon Lady? Seriously? Fuck Ron Paul and Ralph Nader. Sheezus.
Let it go.

A letter…
There’s this guy who I blog dick (the practice of cutting to the head of the line by commenting on the first comment and then leaving my banner/link), that I pick on a little. I don’t take him too seriously but I like to piss him off whenever I can.
He’s written something today that pissed me off for it’s level of douchebaggery.
So, if you want to see who I’m writing to and exactly what he said in his blog “Who vetted Obama?”, you’ll need to go here:
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=132557808&blogID=430526492&Mytoken=E027339C-F95B-43EA-B0F81E678E0F3225100679766
Here’s what I wrote in response:
Lazy? Dumbya has spent a third of his Presidency on vacation, more than any President in history. McCain makes one campaign stop a day, Obama makes at least four.
I’ve got news for you. The American people vetted Obama.
The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike.
Despite what I may have said to you before, I doubt you’re an idiot. You seem like a reasonably smart guy. So you really um, you buy this shit?
You think Our Man has gotten a free ride? Are you outta your goddamn mind? You reference Jeremiah Wright. The media took it upon itself to beat Obama about the head and shoulders for weeks over it. It was brutal, exhaustive and plenty damaging. I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t find fault with much if anything the guy had to say.
Allow me to point out something else equally as obvious. No such thing as bad publicity. Particularly for a newbie like What’s Her Name. The attention such an incredibly dubious and irresponsible pick for VP has generated is electrifying your easily suckered base. You should be thrilled. Are you too stupid to understand this?
By the way, Obama himself declared Palin’s family and that of anyone else off limits. Beyond that, he will not even discuss it. Even Michael Moore agrees.
Another by the way, Sarah Palin made the anouncement to the media about her daughter’s pregnancy. She announced it you fool. By accepting the job and announcing her daughter’s pregnancy to the press, Sarah Palin is the one responsible for shining the light here.
One more by the way, he admitted his drug use, early and often and was skewered by the media for it. What more do you want?
They will not allow her to be interviewed by anyone but teenage slow pitch Bobby Sox pitchers, however. Trust me. They’ll keep her far from legitimate questions.
You won’t see pictures of her from the side because she’s two dimensional and disappears at 90 degrees off axis. They will feed her words and she will vomit them. She’s proven to be adept in that area. Joe Biden is more than likely to crap on her lunch in the debate, however.
No matter what, he’ll leave a stain. I’m betting on her forehead.
I don’t give a mad fuck what the mainstream media says or does because that’s not who I rely on for the truth. You shouldn’t either. I’d assumed a man of your age and experience would already be cognizant.
Your man McCain has a history as long as Obama’s time on this planet of unsavory characters. Charles Keating *ahem*. The ties you attribute to Obama, specifically Rezko, Wright and Ayers are scurrilous and weak. Bullshit mainstream media talking points.
It’s kinda like you get your information from FOX but choose to whine about MSNBC or CNN.
I hate, hate, hate when you people attempt to reduce things into terms like “baggage handlers”. You think a man who ran The Harvard Law Review couldn’t get a job as a baggage handler? And aren’t you insulting them at the same time?
I’ll stop short of calling you an asshole but I think you just might be.
That brings us to the fact that McCain has been a mainstream media “maverick” darling for the last decade. Are you unaware of this or just willfully ignorant? I mean, please. The man has enjoyed the spotlight since Dumbya handed him his ass but withheld his pride in 2000.
Poor John the war hero. Just like Max Cleland. I just puked in my mouth a little.
Mr. Cleland (D) slaps a hand against his torso because it’s attached to the only limb he has left. The rest of him is in Vietnam. He lost his Senate seat to a moron named Saxby Chambliss (R). Saxby ran ads that pictured Max with Osama and Hussein. Dirtiest campaign on the planet. You’re own man McCain said “[I]t’s worse than disgraceful, it’s reprehensible;”
Rove and the rest of them now working for McCain despite destroying him in the same way in the same year.
You lose. This is the weakest and emptiest blog you’ve written in awhile.
This kind of crap serves no one but you.
Good luck with that.

The progressive blogosphere is ablaze today with speculation and outright dismay over Our Man Obama’s shuffle to the middle. The conventional wisdom is that it’s bad form and smacks of pandering to a demographic that had little to do with his nomination.
I wish I could disagree. I can’t. Thus far I can only manage disappointed, disillusioned and frustrated.
Our Man needs to take a breath and re-examine hisself. The man who’s gotten this far and why. He was different, brave and sincere. We believed him. We were inspired because he was exactly what we wanted. He’s what we desperately needed.
I nearly wept on March 18, as Our Man was expected to deliver a mea culpa over the Reverend Wright conflagration, but instead delivered the most courageous, eloquent, powerful and intellectually honest treatise on race I’ve ever witnessed in my life. That man touched my heart and appealed profoundly to my sensibilities.
The man I imagined as leader of my country.
The man who dismissed a suspension of the gas tax for what it was; a gimmick. The man who pronounced the war a mistake before we began it. Than man who didn’t break a sweat as he assumed the role of David against the Goliath that was the Clinton machine. The man who packed stadiums and with every soaring speech imbued us with ever more optimism and hope. The man who can call McCain on the carpet on every major issue and land firmly on the right side of all of them. The man who if true to his word, stands a reasonable chance at being among the handful of truly great American Presidents by affecting change on a scale we haven’t been allowed to aspire to since JFK.
That is the man I imagined as leader of my country.
Politicspeak defines his actions as some sort of “triangulation” to focus on and court “swing voters”. I define it as bullshit and it troubles me immensely. I gotta tell ya, this FISA thing is close to breaking my heart.
Mr. Obama, don’t do this to us. Despite copious and chronic voter fraud, the last two Democrats lost their bid for the White House because they were too cautious. They listened to handlers and advisers. Too willing to play to the middle when challenged by the Dick-in-Bush juggernaut for being dangerously liberal or weak.
Guess what? They were exactly that. Pussies, both of them.
We were all hoping you weren’t a pussy.
It didn’t work for them and it will backfire far more viciously on you for cultivating our most sincere dreams of a better, more responsible government. An American people better off and in a safer world. Cleaner. Less war. A lot less war. A reinvigoration of the middle class by maybe reversing the concentration of wealth? Perhaps with new green industries and a renewed concentration on infrastructure? A change in the tax code? A robust middle class is the key to a sound economy, you know.
We have chosen you as the best man, from a formidable field, to do this thing. We’re not here to fuck around.
I’m hoping this roar behind you continues. Even if you insist on losing your way, perhaps the roar of the people will show you the map, your map, and you’ll get right again.
Absent that, we’ll still get you in, but we’ll pound the shit out of you every day until you do the right thing. Worst case scenario, you abandon who and what gave you the keys to the universe and you’ll have to work even harder than Jimmy Carter to repair your legacy of failure.
Pay us now or pay us later. Just don’t fuck with us.

Finally
The wave crests, then breaks, the national media plays a mind.
In the two thousand election, Doubtfire labeled Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as “agents of intolerance”. I liked him then. I bought that “Maverick” crap.
Bush and Rove served him overdone on a platter. It was ugly and egregious. I pitied him. He walked into a buzzsaw spinning in hot feces. Despite his time as a POW, he’d never encountered anything remotely like the diabolical bacteria and machinations of Karl Rove. Or, the blind stupidity of Dumbya. Then he hugged him on national TV.
He may have still been a good man before that experience.
He’s not been since.
By two thousand six, McCain was delivering a commencement address at Falwell’s Liberty University.
Today, after chronic rumblings in the gut of our media and percolations that turned into a harbinger of copious liquid excretions, the rectum of our mainstream media had a spasm, barfed out John Hagee and thrust him into the political toilet. You know, under the lights.
He stinks. He’s ugly and he looks stupid.
This punk Hagee has been credited with among other things, likening Hitler to a purveyor of the will of his Christian God and declaring Katrina was punishment for the Gays planning a parade.
An asshole thrice the size of a vagina.
Doubtfire worked tirelessly for this neanderthal’s endorsement for over a year. Today, of course, he denounced him and rejected his endorsement.
Good stuff. You can’t write this shit.
Will this tempest have the legs of say, the Jeremiah Wright conflagration?
Nope.
Hagee merely lied about Jews and Gays. Neither one a sizable political bloc. He didn’t tell the truth about rich white men like Jeremiah Wright did. Doubtfire didn’t belong to the douchebag’s church. Pretty fucked up, but still the way it will play.
He did impugn Catholics, but that’s ok in my book, as probably a fair number of them understand the depth of their own hypocrisy. I know I do.
Let’s all take a minute and reflect on how just insane this all is. Let it sink in. John McCain is the best Republicans can do after a disaster of epic proportion named Dumbya. I still can’t believe anyone is taking this guy seriously.
It really is no wonder the rest of the world thinks America is a land of idiots and jackasses.
There are times when I just can’t stand it.

I heard the news today.
Oh fuck.
Bloodiest month in Iraq since September of last year. It’s Iran’s fault, they tell us. It’s not that the surge is no longer working, they assure us.
It’s that it never did, I assure you.
Stupid idea. Too little. Too late.
A band aid applied with the hope it would staunch the wound long enough for Dick-in-Bush to make a getaway. It was a matter of time until the dam breached itself by an artery that just wasn’t able to contain the pressure of all that blood.
They don’t have another one.
In what may be the cruelest and simultaneously most hysterical whirling dervish of irony I’ve ever witnessed, our nation has an immediate and affordable solution to the shattered back of our fighting force. The numbers are somewhere between twelve and twenty million. It’ll be a little less logistically efficacious if we decide to build that stupid border fence, but still doable.
Just think, we could all sleep a little easier knowing that we’re finally justified in paying them a fair wage as well as covering their medical needs etc.
See, they’d be dying for us while we sleep and have barbecues on Sunday. Well, not us, but the military industrial complex.
Draft the illegals!
I feel comfortable playing the race card.
Not really.
In other news, our Little Bootlicker pissed all over a bill that sought to mandate equal pay for women because he feared the lawsuits that would emerge. Um, isn’t that the point asshole?
Don’t forget, Doubtfire is on record as in favor of permanent tax cuts to the wealthy while we are facing perhaps the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression. Rice is being rationed in America for fuck’s sake. He’s cool with us staying in Iraq for a hundred years and it explains it with the example of our presence in Germany or South Korea.
Anybody remember any American soldiers dying in either of those two countries in combat in say, the last three decades?
Both Shrillary and McCain are in favor of a moratorium on federal gas tax for the summer. Great idea. Profound and inspired despite it’s being another goddamn blatant and pandering populist band aid to demonstrate how they feel our pain.
Never mind the jobs and money lost to our highway and bridge repair infrastructure, it won’t save you shit.
Check the crab in a bucket metaphor from the last blog.
Another suggestion along the same lines would be a mandate that all children, everywhere walk to school. Not even parents can drive them. They must get there under their own power. Can you imagine the money that could be saved?
We should go back to making everything out of wood. Soft drink containers and dashboards and polyester pants for fat people as well as the the stylistically challenged. Lenses and guns and amplifiers. Imagine a wooden computer.
You could safely use Pledge on it.
Why, it’s a renewable resource.
In America, the lights are on, but nobody’s home.

Tonight on CNN, Michelle Obama said of the Wright controversy, she was finished talking about it. as is her husband, and that the issue would only die when the media diegns to acquiesce. I shouldn’t be allowed to say it after that last sentence but. WORD.
Every once in awhile I wonder if we all aren’t just stupid enough to not realize we are pell mell towards either the sun melting us, or a demise of our own.
Like the sun melting us.
I can see the world on my plasma TV. I communicate with all of you via a MAC. I have hand held devices that I can talk to the world with or control the signals beamed at me from a satellite in orbit.

A fat spider hangs in it’s web. Patient and unbelievably plump. Dense and thick. Enough weight to scare any man by crawling across his torso.
Racism in the land of plenty. We know not what we do.
I have a biracial friend who describes Reverend Wright as a “crab in a bucket”
To her it means tearing down your own who succeed. Crabs in a bucket will pull each other down in a zeal to escape.
She tells me it’s regrettable for a man such as Jerimiah Wright to sink to the the role of a crab in a bucket.
We share a disgust for the media; for it’s willingness to supply fuel as well as ignition to what’s become a crab festival.
Republicans are already feasting.
Meanwhile the bigots can’t decide if Barack is a nigger or a sand nigger.
Forgive me, but that is the low bar of discourse in this country. How fucking sad. To think our best chance of turning this ugly thing our country has become, into something better, pivots on ignorant bullshit like that, breaks my heart.
We have gone nuts.
Perhaps we’ve always been.
I’m sure it’s the latter. But this is our best chance.
Obama said today that this man does not speak for him or his campaign and he does not speak for this man.
“saddened by the spectacle.” -CNN
“What particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing,” -CNN
The very instance of this bull wreaking havoc in this shop of china owes it’s impetus to the goddamn media. This giant load of fresh moist horseshit is courtesy thereof. Steaming, from an ignorant and shameless platter.
Even Bill Moyers was willing to take shovel to shit.
This specific Frankenstein would never have walked if it wasn’t for the goddamn mainstream sonofabitching media. I cannot believe that in this century we’re even remotely concerned about what some egotistical and narcistic pastor has to say and that some of us are more than willing to put his words in the mouth of another man.
A man who did not utter those words. A man who is running for President of The United States.
Nevermind that the party of the first part still speaks the truth. Too many of you can’t wait to believe that the party of the second part uttered those words. Furthermore, you can’t contain your glee after committing to that lie, in painting my man Obama as some sort of reverse racist radical.
Idiots. Fools. Dipshits. COWARDS.
You purchase this shit at your peril. I doubt most of you can wrap your pathetic cleft brains around that notion. Much to the detriment of us all.
Forgive me. I’m just so sick of this.
It has nothing to do with why anyone should vote for this man or not. If I, as an agnostic, were to consider someone’s religious conviction when making a decision as to who to vote for, I could not, in good conscience, vote.
I wouldn’t even have any friends.
I think it’s time for me to stop giving some of you retards the benefit of the doubt.
I’ll tell you this. If we don’t opt for change, as much change as we can get, we’ll get caught with our pants around our ankles, screwing the pooch. All of us.

Talking points
Yesterday Dumbya, in an earnest impersonation of Alfred E. Newman, told us no worries, we’re not in a recession.
Oil up over one hundred seventeen dollars a barrel. Up from thirty or so under Clinton. You’re all aware, I’m sure, of the mortgage bloodbath. The job deficit. Half a million a minute in Iraq on CREDIT.
Those stimulus checks are on the way. Help you out with that two hundred percent increase at the pump. Yep, help to pay ExxonMobile. Richest corporation in the history of man. Sounds good. Nice little circle of larceny.
It goes on and on.
(CNN) — John McCain’s campaign sent supporters a fundraising e-mail Friday that claims Hamas approves of Democrat Barack Obama’s foreign policy vision, and is hoping for his victory this fall.
I guess there’s some truth to this but for fuck’s sake people, you think they’d put their money on a man like Doubtfire who thinks we can hang around for a hundred more years?
I an upcoming interview on 60 Minutes, Supreme Court Antonin Scalia says of the controversial decision which handed Bush the Whitehouse in two thousand that America needs to “Get over it”.
I hate that prick. You know, he and Darth Cheney are pals.
And once again we are being beaten about the head shoulders with the opinions of Jeremiah Wright. I will point out again, ad nauseam , there isn’t much of what he said that isn’t true. How goddamn sad our man is being impugned by the media for truths he did not even utter.
“In a fiery sermon in April 2003, Wright said: “The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes three-strike laws and wants them to sing God Bless America.”
“God damn America … for killing innocent people.”
“God damn America for threatening citizens as less than humans”
“God damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and supreme.â€
“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because of stuff we have done overseas is now brought back into our own backyard. America is chickens coming home to roost.â€
“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people,†Wright said. “Hillary would never know that.”
“Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.â€
-All quotes from FOXNews.com
You motherfucking tell me what is dishonest or untruthful about any of that. America’s problem is that she cannot handle the truth. Goddamnit and goddman you who would question that. We are a society of cowards, hypocrites and cold calculating reptiles.
On September 18, 2006, Pastor John Hagee — whose endorsement Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said this past Sunday he was “glad to have†— told NPR’s Terry Gross that “Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.†“New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God,†Hagee said, because “there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came.â€
Now, that offends me and my sensibilities.
Shrillary is ahead in the popular vote if you count Florida and Michigan even though they all agreed they don’t count. That’s her new bugle from atop the hill.
Gimme a fucking break.
Anybody notice we’re not talking about the war?
It’s pretty bad again.
I believe the second and last time I heard my mother say the word “fuck”, her sentence was something like, “We are the best country on earth and we are going to fuck it up.”
The first time had something to do with me not vacuuming the astro turf on the porch in front of the trailer when I was fourteen.
I am in awe. I can’t believe this shit.
You people are as hopelessly gullible as a small gathering of primates. I don’t doubt they’d be embarrassed eventually.
They are ramming this shit down your throats because the only thing that gets you off is to gag on it.
Understand that this is a man who comes from just a slightly different place than most of you and I. That’s a good thing. Just consider, he has already seen what you are about to see and he may just be the man to help you through it. Change must come. It’s only now begun to arrive. The antidote will only come from a man such as this. I don’t see any others, and if you’re smart, you’ll be happy he’s here.
And stop worrying that he’s some sort of Muslim or that he hates America.
Don’t be a damn fool.
Drinks for my friends.
The Pope Cometh.
Pope Benedict XVI showed up today in America. Boy, am I excited. Did you know there’s like seventy million Catholics in this country? Did you know that by being Catholic you’re automatically full of shit? Trust me, I know a few Catholics and some of them are nice, but all of them, completely full of shit.
It’s true, I loathe Catholicism. Gays will burn in hell. Third world countries shouldn’t be allowed access to birth control because premarital sex is a sin. Then there’s the rampant and chronic ass raping of children by priests. That last one is a big one. I hear it just cost them two billion bucks. That’s maybe a day and half in Iraq.
I really could go on and on and on………
Allow me to lend you some perspective. People jumped all over Barack Obama a few weeks back because the pastor of his church was percieved by some to have insulted America. How could he belong to such a church? Why didn’t he leave that church and denounce that man?
Despite the fact that Jeremiah Wright spoke the truth, it occurs to me to ask this question: How the fuck can you people, nearly seventy million of you, in all good conscience, remain Catholic?
So I’m pretty sure I saw his image today.
I was walking along skid row and in a river of crap and piss, I glimpsed a piece of toast that made me think of this fuck’s face. True, it did look a little like Dick Cheney. Anyway, I was in a bad way, so I puked bile and snot after I was certain that I saw the face of the Pope in a slice of toast floating in human sewage running down the street.
None of this is true, by the way.
I was positive that what I saw was divine so I called every cable news show I could think of on a pay phone and asked them to meet me there in front of the booth. I had a pocket full of quarters from the the jerk off stalls earlier in my evening.
I’d lifted the countenance of the current pope in the form of a toast wedge from the gutter with my left foot and placed it neatly on the floor of the the last phone booth on skid row.
Guess what? They all came. Helicopters and vans. Crazy. I told them I’d been backpacking in the Andes for the last ten years. I ate grass and drank tea. I told them my meat of choice was yak. They nodded like it made sense.
I tell them it’s him and they’ll see because his ears and forehead are scary accurate in that morsel of toast.
I tell them, I can’t forgive this man for what he’s done and what he presides over.
I tell them he should be arrested while he’s in this country and I’m sure that’s when they decide to arrest me. I try to tell them how Cardinal Mahoney is Darth fucking Vader.
I end up in a cell. He ends up with the ass of any child he desires while candles and incense burn.
I’m just trying to make a point here. Both these fucks belong in handcuffs.
Can you believe this shit?
This fuck coming here?
Want a poster boy for religion as complete crap?
I do get carried away.
Forgive me.
I call them like I see them.
You know this prick was a Nazi?
Fuck the Pope.
Drinks for my friends.
Yeah so………
I want to talk about politics.
There’s not fuck all to say. Same as it’s been for a week. For the first time in a long time, I’m not engrossed, pissed or excited.
The Reverend Wright conflagration seems to finally be on the wane. For this I’m grateful because he merely spoke the truth, as unpalatable as it was for those who are fond of plunging their heads into the sand.
I loathed the entire spectacle because he not only spoke from a justifiably angry heart, Senator Obama refused to disown him out of loyalty and integrity. There was a certain beauty and honesty to the story that America missed because the media didn’t foist it on a steaming platter.
They chose the opposite. The simpler of the two. I’m pretty sure they did that because they think we’re all stupid. I’m not surrounded by brain surgeons and physicists, are you?
He did the right thing.
Dominating the over twenty four hour news cycle this last week is whether Shrillary should walk away or not. No mad fuck opinion here. Once the primary process plays out, given the writing is on the wall, I would take exception if she doesn’t act responsibly. Otherwise, I’ve no real dog in this hunt and neither should you.
It’s very unlikely that Superdelegates will even attempt to subvert the will of the people. In the context of a gigantically criminal, incredibly specific and therefore surgically effective disenfranchisement that’s gone on for eight years, particularly unto Democrats, I’m assuming we all agree that would be really fucking stupid.
The reason I’m not running for President is I would have invited that bitch to take a walk. With her husband. You two are a serious braintrust; do the math. Not gonna happen unless maybe Billary has an an early October suprise.
There’s still a lot of us that are at least scared enough to forget to hope.
Don’t forget how crazy it is. A powerful and ominous cleric in Iraq with his own army, gets a bug up his ass and chaos occurs with a finger snap. We really have that shit under control.
I’m get some solace from the idea that Muqtada al-Sadr is making our Little Bootlicker McCain look like a doddering chimp.
Did you see the clip of Lieberman schooling Doubtfire?
I loathe Lieberman.
Doubtfire has hitched his little red tricycle to this ridiculous turned pathetic war and “The Surge”. Oh, and permanent tax cuts for the wealthy and “overhauling” social security. How much you wanna bet he’s already got presenile dementia?
The economy is swirling down the shitter. Tricycles don’t float.
Biggest, best, boldest thing we can do for the economy is end the war and start investing in infrastructure. See, that can be steady enduring jobs, education, more money in the community and less for the plutocracy, the corporate monoliths. The evil pricks.
It’s not just freeways and potholes. I’m imagining government sponorship of R&D and technology for green and environmentally responsible industries. Like it or not, that is our future. Or we’re all dead.
Here comes Al Gore. He’s not interested in politics. He’s gonna Guru. I say let him.
This is what it is. If you ask one hundred Americans who their ultimate President would be, probably twenty or thirty would have different, unique answers. This whole thing will ultimately be decided by one or two, maybe five, in a hundred.
See what I’m saying? Keep your eyes on the ball.
Drinks for my friends.
Shrillary skates across the floor on a cushion of shit
Looks like I’m all but forced to weigh in on this ugliness yet again. I’m doing so because well, Hillary did so today with all the panic, recklessness and shameless irresponsibility of a desperate woman who again demonstrates a glaring sense of entitlement for our nation’s Presidency.
I’m sure you’re all aware That Senator Obama delivered a compassionate, sincere and very personal disquisition on race in America last week in response to his Reverend’s sermons from the lectern. A speech that was as refreshing in it’s honesty and eloquence as was the absence of a cowardly mea culpa or spineless abandonment of a life long friend.
He took the onus off himself and placed it squarely on us. He did so by talking to us like adults.
I’m compelled to point out; a fair amount of what Reverend Wright said was true.
As she read from a prepared statement in response to a question today, she essentially said she indeed would have walked away from that church and it’s Reverend and followed up with the callow observation that we are free to choose our friends but not our relatives.
I don’t buy this shit for a minute. This, a transparent attempt to draw attention away from a blatant and chronic lie about ducking and hiding from sniper fire in Bosnia, by exploiting racial divisivness in the same breath. The only chance Shrillary has is to keep as many white people from voting for Obama as possible. The most efficient means of course, play the race card.
Hillary, you ingnorant slut.
You continue to disappoint. My own mother mentioned she glimpsed a cut-throat passive aggressiveness in you that she’d only observed in the very worst of her female bosses.
Nevermind that your efforts may ultimately be the Democratic party’s demise in a season that was once filled with possibility, potential and hope. Nevermind how proud and delighted I was to have our very first woman and our very first black man as genuine and viable candidates for the leader of the free world and for the longest time, race and gender were not at issue. Nevermind what you and your husband have done to soil what was shaping up to be a glistening Clinton legacy. Nevermind all of that and more.
Have you no shame? No integrity? Is there a line that you won’t cross in order to clutch that brass ring?
If for no other reason than your own posterity, I implore you to let it fucking go. You are embarrassing us. You are staining this process. You ARE an embarrassment to America.
Take a lesson from your own daughter, who when asked about Monica Lewinsky today, you know the intern that sucked your husbands dick, told the questioner it was none of their business. I would suggest that to be far more appropriate an answer as opposed to your obviously prepared remarks today.
And by the way, for you to allow James Carville’s cheap shot comparison of Governor Richardson to Judas without immediate repudiation is just more of the same. Shame on you. Rovian tactics indeed.
It is largely up to you whether or not this contest becomes a protracted battle in Denver this summer. If you allow that, it most certainly will be at the expense of us all. The time for you to walk away is fast approaching. Do the math.
Drinks for my friends.
Richardson does the right thing.
Our man Obama’s been getting the shit kicked out of him this week. It’s been anything but pretty. Anything but fair.
Finally, CNN takes it upon itself to provide a more thorough context to the sermons by Reverend Wright they’ve bludgeoned us with all week ’til we’re torsos with tubes sticking out the tops of our necks. Turns out, he makes a little more sense than we’ve been allowed to glimpse thus far. Big suprise.
If you think injustice doesn’t exist in this country you’re an idiot and probably a racist. Just reminding you to think about a walk in his shoes.
But you already knew that.
You’re aware, if you read me regularly, that I’ve no patience for this kind of crap. I vehemntly object to events of this nature being injected into my politics. Not by a long shot do the least of my reasons include the conviction that religion has no place in a any political contest under any circumstances ever. I’m more than confident that any of the candidates are vulnerable and easily impugned based on something as inconsequential as who their goddamn pastor is and what he or she has to say.
In the instance of McCain, our little bootlicker, can you say John Hagee? If Hagee isn’t an evangelical whack job, I’ve never even smelled one. I know I have, because they stink like rotting flesh. This guy Hagee is a human shitsmear.
Hot on the heels of that, is race. The eight hundred pound gorilla that our obsequious and recalcitrant mainstream media refuses to stop reaching for the backs of our necks in order to get us to stare at. Once again, an issue that deserves no purchase whatsoever in this contest.
Doubtfire even considered an invitation to speak at Bob Jones University and endorsed a white supremacist running for Lt. Governor of Alabama, George Wallace Jr. in ’05.
See what I’m saying?
Today, Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico, former Presidential candidate and Clinton machine consort as well as Democratic super delegate, endorsed our man Obama.
He said:
“Senator Barack Obama addressed the issue of race with the eloquence and sincerity and decency and optimism we have come to expect of him,†he said. “He did not seek to evade tough issues or to soothe us with comforting half-truths. Rather, he inspired us by reminding us of the awesome potential residing in our own responsibility.” -NYT
“The reaction of some of Bill Clinton’s allies suggests that might have been a wise decision. “An act of betrayal,” said James Carville, an adviser to Hillary Clinton.” -Austin Statesman
Whatever the eventual fallout, Mr. Richardson has effectively locked the door behind him on the idea of running with Hills. I’m gonna go ahead and look at that as brave and wise. He knew he was on the short list for assistant manager.
There is a chance that the fever has broken.
Forgive me, but I’m here to urge you once again to move on from this collision of toddlers on tricycles. There’s really nothing to see. Don’t mistake the ruptured ketchup pillows for blood. It’s the twenty first century, they all wear helmets.
Move along.
Drinks for my friends.
Fer fuck’s sake.
They just refuse to release this limb of racism they’ve finally managed to sink their rotting canines into. The gaping, stinking maw of a vociferous and audacious media.
Here it is. Full frontal racism. They couldn’t wait to give us what they want. They warmed us up with Geraldine and Samantha Powers and Farrakhan. So now, with intrepid glee and gore, they serve it up. It’s disgusting.
I tend to favor CNN, at least over other mainstream news sources, and Anderson Cooper in particular. I imbibe because as a news network, it seems to attempt to not exclude the middle. After watching tonight however, I doubt I’d pass on an opportunity to deposit crap in Mr. Coopers mouth, if only to remind him that shit does come out of it on occassion.
This is so fucked up. I can find a racist friend or uncle in every white person’s circle despite the size of their hearts. I know them. I’ve spent time with them. They have broken bread with us. With my family. It’s no less ugly because they are loved and otherwise good people. Often they are an unfortunate product of indoctrination. My point is, you’re a goddamn fool if you think such disfigured dogma is exclusive to any race or skin pigmentation.
Allow this point; who among us cannot forgive any black man or woman, they having been on the recieving end of evil for centuries, to embrace a similiar set of beliefs and convictions? Victimisation to one degree or another is part of the culture. They didn’t make it that way. There is tons of horrifying ugliness there. Lynchings, burnings and profound humiliation.
The cliche about walking in a man’s shoes definitely applies.
For the better part of modern history, it has sucked to be black. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is older than most of us and I’m sure has had a far more brutal experience with events than most of us.
I said this in a previous blog on this subject:
“We all, regardless of race or gender, have our own issues with race and gender. I’m no fool. I believe the idea is to recognize them and endeavor to change them. Being accountable for your own sets of bias or prejudice should be the beginning of humility.”
How long will it be, what will it take, for us as Americans to rise above this archaic nonsense? I’m starting to wonder and it’s pissing me off.
You know what I think? I think church and organized religion is as stupid and at least as dangerous as racism. Yet, as an agnostic, I suffer these dipshits in every aspect of my life everygoddamnday. Still, I have genuine affection for a great many of them.
Of course, like the foolish Americans we are, we cannot reisist the comingling of religion and politics. Church and State. It is here that we tumble head first down the stairs. So many of us play along but then we all fall down. It’s always embarrassing.
Issues kids. Stick to the issues. Hint. These are not issues. Work with me here. Issues are about policy and ethics, all the rest is an attempt to moralize and that’s not where this campaign belongs and neither do we.
Don’t get distracted by this shiny shallow thing.
