KicK! Making Politics Fun

If you want to know what Republicans are thinking, listen to what The Klan is saying.

I have a question.

Of the 45,000 people who die each year for not having health insurance, how many do Americans think are black or Hispanic.

a) All
b) Almost all

I was watching Newt Gingrich who was responding to the annoying question, what has a Republican ever done for anyone?

Newt said that the biggest success was HIS Republican Contract on America that he and President Clinton working together to rid America of having to give poor women and children welfare. The most important thing Republicans accomplished, he repeated.

I have another question.

Of all the people on welfare in 1996, how many did Americans believe were black?

a) All
b) Almost all

And there you have the driving force of American politics since our inception...

Guns for knives swap down at the elementry school!  Gotta love it, so American.

Though this bit of satire is more generic to AM Radio than to Glenn Beck himself, it does get the the crux of the matter: "Social Justice" is THE code word for "Helping People." OMG!

Enter Father James Martin, one of those much hated "liberation theology" Catholic Priests, who here in America are even more reveiled than those who pork alter boys.

Liberation Theology is anthema to Republican Politics as it takes the form of all that bleeding heart do-gooding crap that American religion has no business in.  It tries to help the poor and disposessed out of their misery in the HERE AND NOW rather than suffering their entire lives waiting for relief in the next world. Perhaps Liberation Theology could be best defined as to what it is not. A sucker bet.

Though bent penises are an important topic it just doesn't hit home for me. I think this may be because of the little discussed truth that women know far more about the outside world of wood than men do.

It is the second piece here that I can relate to as a sometimes computer consultant. I have found the hardest thing to do is explaining to my computer retarded fellows what a File is, or what Directory and Folders are. And of course the difference between memory and storage which will forever go blank in their minds.

But explaining FILES so often causes that blank look, or the more disengaged look out the window. In fact I have found trying it  quite often generates so much anger that I feel lucky to escape the process without bloodshed. Answer: A file is some amount of computer code that has a name. With an extension that explains what KIND of code it is. Like .dll. Try explaining .dll to a newbie!

This piece of satire is destined to become a classic which will forever define Glenn Beck as the silliest clown to ever be given radio syndication or a show on network television. [Well other than Howard Beale who was fictional]. I found the only thing wanting in this great and grand sketch by Jon Stewart was a reference to the movie "Network".

"Go to your windows! Stick your head out and yell, I AM MAD AS A HATTER! WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! PROGRESS IS CANCER! SOCIAL JUSTICE IS MARXISM! ECONOMIC JUSTICE IS NAZISM!"

As you watch this as you try keep from falling out of your chair in snot-snorting delight please keep in mind two far more serious issues.

1) If there were not tens of millions of people who believe Glenn Beck's crap he would not be around. Yes indeed! Tens of millions of American are that mud dumb stupid. You can see them in the public square most every weekend with their ugly signs, stupid slogans, and angry nonsense. The Tea Party movement led not only by Glenn Beck but also, Dick Armey, Congressman Ron Paul, Senator Jim DeMint, Chillbilly Sarah Palin and my own Governor Rick Perry of Texas.

2) What Glenn Beck pushes is the covert heart of conservative ideology. Progress and equal justice are their enemy today just as they have always been when they advocated slavery, Jim Crow, child labor while fighting against women voting, unions, public education, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, civil rights act, voting rights, evolution and now even standing against the life of the very Earth they live upon. It is the nature of the Beast.

This is timely. I just had a conversation with a friend about a project he was pondering. Before snapping out of it, he'd convinced himself that iPads were a must along with several other high tech gadgets and programs  to do what he eventually concluded could be accomplished several hundred dollars more cheaply and with less frustration all around without. Serafinowicz arrives at the perfect application for this project. I'd lost contact with one exactly like it, but feel I could learn to manipulate it again, which is a fairly brazen statement for anyone who knows my learning disability with technology more complicated than the on/off button.

Catharine Pierce of Boulder, Colorado continues to garden nearly nude. Last year, she tended her pansies while wearing only pasties on top, nothing on the bottom. Reviews were mixed. This March her ensemble of a yellow thong and pink gardening gloves with a bare breast has raised another controversy. Ironically, Boulder bans public nudity at Coot Lake, a gathering spot for nudists for decades, and state law prohibits exposing genitals, but the most police could do with Mrs. Pierce was suggest she put on a shirt, due to complaints by some neighbors, a suggestion she declined legally, it's not an offense to show female nipples in Boulder.
