Not long ago one sniper in a Falluja building pinned down 150 Marines for a day. The Marines called in two air strikes, 35 rounds of 155mm artillery and pumped hundreds of rockets and 30,000 rounds of automatic rounds from helicopters and ground troops into the small building. A short time later the sniper killed another Marine. They think they may have finally got that one, now we only have a billion more to go.
George has managed to fuck up the whole world. Impeach him. And kick the crap out of the Neo-cons, for there is no longer any confusion as to what that political philosophy is about. Look for the biggest hornets nest in the world, and hit it with a stick. If any close work needs doing, get some weekend warriors form Walmartville, USA to do it for you.
Heads are turned to Istanbul today but it is the same story wherever one looks. A few generations of secular reason brought Turkey from the Dark Ages to possible entry into the European Union. Well, until George Bush got his dumbass face into things. They were recently denied acceptance as they revert to an Islamic Fundamentalist State.
The only thing holding Pakistan (with the bomb) from the same fate is a funny military dictator. The biggie, Egypt, is moving the same way, the entire Middle East disintegrates as you read this, while Iran and Syria already crazy as loons are exporting their Jihads.
To top it off, the entire world now thinks we are the Nation of George. A dumbass bully bringing violence to the world in the name of God’s revenge. And they are right, we have been moving to become just what we fight. Impeach him before he starts World War III.
There is confusion on this issue which I will try to make short and simple. Think in terms of the "equal protection clause" of the 14th Amendment.
A cabal of internet providers, namely the cable, satellite and phone companies, along with most of corporate America, want to charge what they will to whom they please for whatever reasons they wish for different degrees of service. With fiber and video on the horizon they wish to sell services to the highest bidder with exclusive accounts.
This means Time Warner can sell an exclusive FIBER ACCOUNT to Yahoo which they chose to deny Google. You and I click our Google icon and it takes a minute to come up but when we click on Yahoo it comes up instantly. Where you going to click? Imagine that in all aspects of the web. And even more problematic, they can put all the small websites like this into the very slow lane, killing us off.
These companies already control congress, radio, television, the very air we wave in, this medium is all there is left to everyone on an equal basis. Keep it that way!
An interesting point in this is big internet companies like Microsoft, Yahoo and Google are on the little guys side in this.
Rush Limbaugh is angry that Michael J. Fox is campaigning for stem cell research in Rush’s home state of Missouri. So angry in fact, that on his show the other day he had this to say about Parkinson’s sufferer Fox.
"He is either off his medication or acting. Shameless!"
Making fun of people with Parkinson’s disease is oh so… hmmm… um… conservative. Though this kind of thing is nothing new for this pig, Rush did break tradition when he realized his mistake and apologized the next day.
"I have gotten a plethora of e-mails from people saying Michael J. Fox has admitted in interviews that he goes off his medication for Parkinson's disease when he appears before Congress or other groups as a means of illustrating the ravages of the disease."
So email from his dittoheads settles that! Then apology number two!
"I stand by what I said. I take back none of what I said. I wouldn’t rephrase it any differently. It is what I believe; it is what I think. It is what I have found to be true."
These are the kind of conservative scumballs we have given our country over to for 12 long years now. With congress shifting to the Democrats, it is time to use their playhbook and stomp them and whomp them until they crawl back under their rocks with the scorpions and worms from whence they came.
The real enjoyment of the election was that disgusting mouthy right-wing pig of propaganda, Rush Limbaugh is personally responsible for the GOP losing Missouri by mocking Michael J Fox. It was Limbaugh who gave the Democrats the Senate. His hat in hand concession speech the following day was fun.
For someone whose constant refrain for twenty years has been that Liberals are all DOOM & GLOOM, I have never heard more DOOM & GLOOM from anyone, anywhere, ever. Hide your children! The Democrats best friend, Osama bin Laden, is coming to kill them, with Liberals following close behind to eat their entrails. He has new sound advice for Republicans! The GOP must move to the Right. I hope the RNC listens to him. And with the election over he is ecstatic because he no longer has to "carry water" for bad Republicans. That was repeated often. Was Rush finally going to walk on Cowboy George?Well, it only took a few minutes to get that straightened out, John McCain, bad Republican.
I must applaud the American Voter regarding one surprise from the exit polls. Republican corruption in Congress turned out to be second only to Iraq as why people jumped ship. In most of the rest of the world, when corruption becomes as extreme as the Abramoff Affair, millions take to the streets, riots ensue and whole governments are brought down and replaced. So the most Right-wing creepy crawler ever elected to national office, Tom DeLay, must share the blame for this debacle with his friend Mr. Limbaugh.
Mr. President, you dumped Rumsfeld three years late, or three weeks late depending upon one's party affiliation. After you and your party got your long overdue comeuppance, you blamed it upon good campaigning by the Democrats and bad election laws regarding write-in ballots. In fact four days ago you were in my neck of the red giving write-in lessons to the Republican who lost here and subsequently became another dire embarrassment to you and your party.
Get to the point if you have one.
Yes Sir. At that rally you plainly stated that the Republicans would keep both houses of congress. My point is that if you could be so utterly wrong about the outcome of this election, couldn't you also be just as utterly wrong about other things?
As usual Rack your question suffers your personal enkrypton, which I am sure any fool cannot be fooled into understanding what the heck you are getting at. Now sit down. Brit, what's your question.
Mr. President, Brit Hume, Fox News, as the best president we have ever enjoyed and a war going well, what did you have for breakfast today?
The third ranked Republican and top ranked American Talibanie in the Senate lost in Pennsylvania. The 18 point spread was so large that both God and the Gop are now thinking twice about putting him on their short list for President in 2008 - though at his concession speech screams of SANTORUM 2008 dominated the room.
Is this a sign of things to come? Have Americans finally woke up to this evangelical fundamentalist fervor upon the land which is destroying not only this country, but much of the world? Have Americans finally come to terms that evangelical fundamentalism is what caused 911, every suicide bomber, all roadside bombs and war and violence in the Middle East? Oh, and bombing abortion clinics and shooting doctors in the back.
Probably not. For when any individual state is viewed in regards to red and blue, each is a bright sea of red with the exception of small blue areas in and around major cities. Our country air has been fouled by idiot gas, caused by a brew of corn dust, cow manure and human flatulence.
A picture is worth a thousand words. A picture of what? Not quite sure. Most likely squeezing the piss out of a pinko liberal doll? A bloody fetus? God knows, but it was in the same time period he was submitting bills to silence the NY Times. Perhaps Hillary Clinton's appendix which he had recently removed without permission? Whatever, it is just one of many such disgusting acts Haywood has played to dirty up the Well and this country.
JD Haywood is often referred to not only as THE WINDBAG, but also as the most radical conservative in the House. I became aware of JD in 1994 when I saw him juxtaposed against Rush Limbaugh. No appreciable physical or ideological differences, and their presentation was exactly the same. Haywood too has a background in loud mouthed radio and TV and is presently the substitute host of the very conservative Laura Ingraham radio show. There he shines as second only to Rush Limbaugh in the fat disgusting right-wing pig department.
His issues are obvious: No abortion for any reason. A 3000 mile wall along our border. Rounding up 13 million illegal aliens and putting them in camps. Privatize Social Security. Pro Iraq War as is humanly possible. No gay marriage or equal protection. Prayer in school, religious vouchers and above all, a visceral hatred of liberals so intense he has to literally squeeze the piss out of them on C-SPAN.
JD Haywood was one of the congressmen most involved with Jack Abramoff and Tom DeLay. Which was probably the reason he was so soundly trounced. But there was another interesting point in that election. In the face of his rabid views on gays and gay marriage, Arizona was the only state that voted AGAINST the various state referendums outlawing it. An interesting state. Let gay Mexicans marry before they are rounded up and send packing, and a presidential candidate who bows to moderate republicans in the mornings and is on his knees sucking up to the Religious Right in the afternoons.
"If you are not electing Christians, tried and true, under public scrutiny and pressure, if you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin." Katherine Harris on Abortion, gays and such.
"We have to have the faithful in government because that is God's will. Separating religion and politics is so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers." Katherine Harris on separation of church and state, and more importantly, who chose her to run for the Senate
Perhaps she is correct, and God found her so wanting that he had a Democrat kick her ass by 20 points to get her attention. But that isn't the half of it. This woman, along with five conservative republicans on the Supreme Court, gave us the worst president in US History by refusing to allow a Florida recount in 2000. To make it strange, the congressional seat she gave up to lose her Senate campaign is now in recount. The sinful Democrats and the evil newspapers note that the 385 vote difference may change because 16% of the voters in the Democrat leaning Sarasota area 'forgot' to vote for a congressional candidate. Third down the list from Senate and Governor. The most any other district had its constituents 'forget' was 2%. Something is amiss.
Harris complains that the press is out to get her accusing them of applying more makeup to her than she wears. One would think that if that really happened, that when the reporters were holding her down applying the lipstick, they could have also wrote NITWIT on her forehead. The GOP found her so intrinsically awful they would not support her in her primary run or in the general election. Her staff had the highest turnover rate in campaign history, six quitting in one day because her obnoxious diva treatment of her employees had become unbearable. Even her friends can't stand her. Though many have used the words 'disgusting', 'outrageous' and 'disappointing' to describe her (which can be said about most any conservative) the comment that had legs throughout her campaign was 'there is something very wrong with that woman."
Well, it doesn't look like the Republicans learned much, does it? Trent Lott, with rumblings of bringing Newtie out of the back room. Actually, Newtie has been behind the scenes, raking in enormous bucks at various GOP think-tanks refining his (and their) vision of what a perfect society would resemble. Besides all the homeless having laptops. And they are working on swiftboating John Murtha, still! I think a good measure of how much they fear someone is how much they slander that person. I'll be ringing in with more observations as the new regime unfolds. Personally, I think the best thing that came out of the election is that it showed Karl Rove to be the vile little bottle-shaped bully that he really is. And to think that national media bought the rap about that pipsqueek being some kind of genius. The bigger the operation, the bigger the suckers. And people will believe anything, if they want to believe it enough. See ya soon Das bumps
Bubba and Me got together down at Mullet’s Bait to watch the election returns. We tipped the cheapest beer on Redneck Bay, mingling with the cheapest people on Redneck Bay. Our first shouting match concerned which channel we would watch.
“Mullet! Put that TV on FOX would ya, and have a beer on me.”
“FOX is out of the question Bubba! Come on.”
“So we have to watch this on the liberal socialist network?”
“Which one is that Bubba, the one owned by General Electric or Westinghouse?”
“The ones with the liberal bias you ninnynat. CNN, ABC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC…”
“Which are all owned by giant conglomerates whose only bias is to sell more Twinkies to more people who don’t need them. Here’s a fair deal, you get to hold the remote but no FOX. Anything else.”
“That’s fair Bubba.” Mullet decided tossing Bubba the remote.
As soon as Bubba had it in hand, FOX! It was only 7pm with only a few returns in and already Brit Hume looked like he was about to shoot himself.
“Bubba! Look at them! Tonight this is not the Right-wing Loon Network, it’s the Depression Network. Look! That guy over by the computer there is crying.”
Bubba finally acquiesced and got into a system of mostly CNN and MSNBC. But as soon as the camera panned in Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, Bubba turned purple and almost pushed the buttons right through the bottom of the remote.
So we spent most of the evening with Wolf, the most boring human being on this Planet, and of course Lou who Bubba adores. Seems the big boys at CNN told Dobbs to take a night off from his rounding up Mexicans before we declare war on Mexico.
“So where’s Okra? I thought she was meeting us here?” Okra was Bubba’s Sister-in-Law who Bubba really didn’t like, but as an evangelical fundamentalist she supported his side in all our arguments. Bubba nodded to the right and from our stools out on the deck we could see her rolling down the pier along side the barely seaworthy shrimp boats stacked out into the channel. Dressed in flannel, with her height barely surpassing her width she looked like some kind of nut. A fuzzy walnut.
George Allen was ahead in Virginia and Bubba was ecstatic.
“My MaCaCa!” Bubba was singing to the old My Sharona song with Okra chiming in from the doorway.
“Not so fast you two. The fun has just begun.” Rack said as Santorium was traling by 20 points. This was a big hit for Okra, he was her man, and who she was already campaigning for as President in 2008. She looked so sad that my liberal compassion and forgiveness won over my common sense.
“It’s still early Okra, he may come through, after all, he has God, Jesus, Bush and Ted Haggerty on his side.”
“Rack, you are Satan always demeaning the best Christians in American. I hope you rot in Hell for it!”
As the evening waned with the writing on the wall, Bubba fell into a depressing chugging funk while Okra rose to a state of Christian malice. After all, she ran the local Rick Santorum For President Exploratory Committee. Her dreams were being dashed.
“Every vote for a Democrat is a vote for the enemies of America and Satan! I can’t believe this!”
‘By twenty points too Okra, wowzer.”
“You, shut the fuck up!”
“Ya know Okra, can't you see it? What’s the difference between you and the Taliban? Why can’t you grasp that?”
“The difference Mr. Liberal Atheist is someone called Jesus Christ!”
“The name doesn’t matter, it’s the process.”
“Process is what we do to sausage, Christianity is what we do to gain heaven.”
“Which is no different than what those twenty assholes who crashed those planes into buildings were saying. What Okra? You have no need for 72 virgins. So what to you get? 72 I HATE FAG SIGNS to carry around to impress the Almighty?”
“Your day is coming and you won’t be thinking that’s funny!”
“You are unbelievable Okra, it’s like you are some clueless character of fiction. Anyone North of the Mason Dixon wouldn’t believe you even exist.”
“I exist all right! Me and the majority of Americans!”
“Well it seems,” Rack nodded to the television behind the bar, “Not any more.”
As election night wore on, Bubba drank, Okra burned and no matter how hard he tried, Rack could stop grinning, which only made matters worse. What a turnaround from the election night two years earlier they had shared together.“Well Okra, cheer up, it’s not the end of your American Taliban Movement, this is just a referendum on the worst President in American history. I am sure it will pass and soon we will have all you women in Burkas tongue yodeling.”
“George Bush went to Yale! Has an MBA! He is smart and one of your best Presidents!” Okra screeched.
“Yeah, Blue Blood Affirmative Action! Okay then, name me a President worse than George Bush?”
Okra began to turn purple ignoring the question. She looked to the television hoping against hope that Jim Talent in Missouri would pull it out.
“You know Okra, if Talent loses this one, which seems likely, it’s completely on the shoulders of Rush Limbaugh. His shameless treatment of Michael J. Fox was the dynamic of that election.”
“Michael J. Fox is a liberal who Rush proved faked his disease!”
“Gee… In fact my dear, if the Senate goes to the Democrats, it can be truthfully stated that Limbaugh lost the Senate.”
“Warren Harding!” Okra shouted ignoring the question at hand in lieu of the question ignored earlier.
“Damn Okra, you are playing right into his hands.” Bubba scolded from the pinball machine.
“So, you have to go back 85 years to find a president worse than George, and only one at that. You may be right Okra, and if so, guess what?”
“What?”
“You just rated President Bush as the second worst President in history. And I agree.”
“Fuckyoufuckyoufuckyou!” Okra finally transformed into deep purple and rolled off into the starry night.
“So Bubba, looks like when we wake up in the morning we are going to have a House and Senate controlled by Democrats, hey?”
“So it seems Rack, but with all the corruption and gay sex, the GOP needs a time out to gather its forces and get back to its conservative ideals.”
“What in the Hell does gay sex have to do with anything Bubba?”
“The sanctity of marriage.”
“For Christ sake Bubba,” Rack looked around to make sure Okra was gone before he added, “You are divorced twice Bubba! And I covered your ass for two years while you fooled around on Mary Lou!”
“Special Rights! Queers should not have Special Rights!”
“Name one of these so called ‘special rights’ gays have or want.”
“To marry each other and be teachers!”
“Nothing ‘special’ about either of those Bubba, name me a real ‘special right’ gays want that you don’t have.”
“It’s unnatural!”
“Scooter! Your damn dog humps every male dog he can get his paws around!”
“God Says!” Bubba knew he was running out of bad arguments to justify is innate bigotry.
“I know you don’t give one hoot in Hell about the Bible Bubba. You are out of arguments. It’s a simple matter. You and yours are driven by emotional or religious intolerance, while me and mine have constitutional law on our side. The writings on the wall.”
Bubba gave up. He finished off his beer, accepted the Republican defeat, walked off the deck and sighed, “I wonder if my taxes went up yet?”
Mr. President, you dumped Rumsfeld three years late, and only as a political election placation at that. You just said this election was not about Iraq but about good campaigning and bad election laws regarding write-in ballots. In fact four days ago you were in my neck of the red, giving write-in lessons to the Republican who lost here. At that rally you plainly stated that the Republicans would keep both houses of congress.
Get to the point, if you have one.
Yes Sir. The point is if you could be so utterly wrong about the outcome of this election, couldn't you also be just as utterly wrong about other things?
As usual Rack your question suffers your personal enkrypton, which I am sure neither nor anyone knows what the heck you are getting at. Brit, what's your question?
Subject: Hypocrisy and Intolerance go together like beans and farts
Dear Sir,
Though having a homosexual affair is not my cup of tea, I certainly do not condemn you in making that choice. It’s your business. As it is also your business to snort up some meth to enhance your pleasure while sucking some guy off.
But when you make these very things not only your business by condemning everyone else’s choices through the pulpit, politics and law, but make it what you are most about, I have to say:
Cut the crap pal. You and those like you are not Christians, nor is what you do even religion; it’s radical right-wing politics used only to make you money and justify your nastyass intolerance, your dumbass ignorance and your sorryass nature.
I went over to Bubba’s last night for BBQ and had to suffer through an hour of Bill O’Reilly. A full straight hour of anything on FOX NEWS is not easy for a person of mind. But I did learn that the main topic of the Bill O’Reilly Show is - no surprise - Bill O’Reilly.
“Damn Bubba, his head is bigger than Saturn! All he lacks are rings. Doesn’t that weigh on you after awhile?”
“One doesn’t have to like a person to accept their political views.”
“You mean like Rush? What a horrible excuse for a human being he is, but he and O’Reilly both are right on the money when it comes to politics?”
“Damn right Rack! You got it!”
“So we put their egomaniacal assholeness aside, ignore their abject hypocrisy, forget their disgusting private lives and just listen to them pontificate upon the issues?”
“Damn right Rack! You got it!”
“I am learning as we go here Bubba. It’s not easy. It’s not like you and I are from Venus and Mars respectively, but more like from Universe 2 and Universe 7135634. So let me see if I have this right. Both these clowns are mostly about promoting themselves, they each have sleazy private lives, they are hypocrites beyond anything previously known in either of our universes, but their politics of intolerance, bigotry, homophobia, greed, selfishness, promoting war, torture, spying on each other, and whose only answer to the have-nots (and even cripples now) is to mock and make fun of them. And that makes them good?”
“Damn right Rack! You got it!”
“Our relationship seems to be just the opposite of that, respect over politics rather than politics over respect. How do you explain that Bubba?”
“We figured that out twenty years ago Rack. The music, the fishing, the hunting and our shared sense of humor come before politics.”
“Really Bubba? AC/DC before tax cuts?”
“Well, except for tax cuts. That’s first.”
“Really Bubba? Taxes is IT? What about death?”
“Secondary.” Bubba said as he ladled more butter gravy over his pork hocks.
