Original article: God grief

From Voinovich's "Monumental Propaganda"

The Marxist-Leninist were good Marxist, kind people. They wanted to esablish a good life on earth for good people and a bad life on earth for bad people, but it had to be done in accordance with the World Outlook. And therefore they killed bad people, but whenever they could, they left the good people alive. The Stalinists, however were essentially democrates-they killed everybody without distinction, and they regarded the World Outlook not as a dogma but as a guide to action. Consequently, the Marxist-Leninists were regarded as humanists and devotes of the Sole Correct Scientific World Outlook, while the Stalinists were devoted to Stalin and were prepared to follow him in any direction, wherever it might lead them.

Voinovich said it best.

I'm a Democrat since probably before you smashed your first Starbucks window. I'm not sure I've ever watched more than 15 secs of FoxNews.

Thank you for playing.

Original article: This is my brain on chemo

Your brain is a muscle

You have to work it else it become flabby. Same thing with Alzheimer's patients. Talk to an Alzheimer's doctor and they'll tell there are specific things you can do to maintain mental clarity.

Original article: The Matt Drudge primary

Laughable

I can't for the life of me recall a single instance ever where Matt Drudge wasn't transparently a paid flack for the Republicans. It's a waste of time to even debate this point. Of course he's telling whatever lies he's paid to tell. That's his freakin job. How naive can you people be? Next you'll tell me that Gary Kamiya isn't in someone's pocket. Hahahahahahahahaha

Original article: This is my brain on chemo

BTW I am amused

That all the slowly aging hippies have now uncovered that all the weed they've been smoking for the last 45 years is suddenly health food. Tell you what hippies - you smoke all the hydro you want. In exchange use your magic drug to be less of a burden on the health care system for everyone else. And oh, if it's not too much trouble? Hire an ex-con who just got out of jail for holding a quarter ounce. Yeah, please do, hire one of those people instead of the obligatory flag waving La Raza who's off the grid in the first place and doesn't have a paper trail.

Original article: I Like to Watch

I live in Real America

Please someone nuke the shit out of it. Just give me 2 days head start. I was thinking of emigrating anyway.

In a strange or not so strange confluence

Being in Iraq feeds your anger at the US for being in Iraq, or anywhere else. I wonder what you will gnash about after that? I was watching a BBC piece on Tony Blair and get this.......no one really had a problem with 'righteous' interventions in places like Kosovo (and a few from the John Major era too). Hell, Ken Livingston screamed for open ended bombing against Serbia (of course it's easy to understand that given his blind, blanket cheerleading for any level of Islamic inspired terrorism and violence, in this case an Albanian terrorist movement.) None the less, the UK and the US have been involved in some bloody interventionist adventures over the years and for no clear or obvious reason one could use in defense of their own interests. How are Somalia or West Africa or Kosovo, Bosnia or East Timor the UK's own interests for example. Why single out the 'bad' war and ignore the 'good' ones? Been to Bosnia recently? It's run as a UN dictatorship run by decree of one man, the UN appointed viceroy who has the authority to do whatever he wishes, period. I fail to see how this noble venture is better or worse than than the 'bad' wars.

I think what you're trying to say is that

You're basically a gaggle of uniformed immature assholes who don't and can't really utter a coherent sentence about anything meaningful and instead garble and woof at me because that's easier to do, you're a mob and it's the most precious and ironic underlining of the very point I've been making to you about you over and over and over. Blogs are you, and you are a bunch of namecalling fools. But, if it makes you feel all important and significant to dart out from your mob and throw rocks at the 2% here who don't bow down to everything and anything reflective of your idiot world view, then fine. Do that. Opine away. Pull a new made up compound noun out of your collective ass for a news channel I still don't watch and tell me I watch it. Go ahead, namecall. It becomes you.
