Original article: "Ugh" of the day

Truer words are hardly ever uttered in Salon

My experience is not important, but until I became a complete ass (yes, I admit it), I found almost impossible to get laid. Now it is easy. But this is only a drop in the ocean. Most men can have stories like that.

Woman have to get it through their heads that this is TRUTH. Young women are stupid... are pickers of assholes... are avoiders of 'nice' men... 'nice' men become bitter and begin acting like assholes.

Have I ever a son, this will be the core truth he is BLESSED WITH from me.

He will not suffer as I did through my 20s and 30s becoming ever more bitter and hardened and sad.

IT IS CONTINGENT UPON WOMEN TO EITHER CHANGE THEIR BIOLOGICAL MAKEUP OR TO TRAIN THEMSELVES OTHERWISE-- to actually do as they claim and go for the better men. It is most definitely NOT contingent upon men to defy the 'reality' when all that men want is companionship from attractive young women.

I act like an asshole, I get interest from women. The MORE I act like an ashole, the prettier and younger the ones that flock to my side. What more TRUTH do men need to suffice in life?

As an aside, I do not buy the ass backwards feminist argument (is there ANY other kind?) that men who act like supposed misogynists only IMAGINE themselves to be nice, but that they are not actually nice. This could not be more backwards. I imagined myself to be 'nice' for TWO reasons: 1. Most older men and women told me I was a good man, a nice guy. 2. I cultivated such behavior because I ACTUALLY BELIEVED IN IT, I also (WRONGLY) believed women wanted this from men.

If you were a woman who did not get laid for TWO DECADES by ANY men, you would be rabidly, world class MAN HATING yourself. Don't pretend otherwise.

So, we end up with the fucked up world we live in because millions of generations of men have been selected by women for their ASSHOLISH behavior.

Then of course women complain that men are assholes.

Hence we get the CATCH 22, the ever loving circle jerk that is modern women hating that which they adore and BLAMING MEN EVERY STEP OF THE WAY FOR IT.

AND THENNNNN, to top it off with the super cherry, you women wonder why men respect you so little?!?

Harriet Miers would have been a better choice

By next week, she WILL be Harriet Miers.

This is about RIGHT.

So, whatever DID happen to Bill Richardson as a choice?!? I thought he would have caused the Dumocrats some pause, being Hispanic, because McSame could not be accused of pandering by picking either a woman or another black man, yet the move wouldd have STILL been progressive and would have stolen a lot of Hispanic votes from Obama.

As it stands today, Harriet Miers looks like she would have been a BETTER choice, at least she LOOKS like she has leadership potential.

Anyone who thinks this through

will be scared to the bone.

Say McSame croaks. Palin is now President Sarah Palin. What is her credential that makes her worthy of being THE Commander in Chief of the most powerful nation in the history of the world?

I could imagine an Ahnuld Schwarzenegger or Kay Bailey Hutchinson but a glorified cheerleader who ran a small town only two years before?

Maybe flip it on its side, and all it really shows is that the presidency is a ceremonial position and the REAL power is in the shadows.

Maybe THAT is the real metamessage being sent out here.

I repeat: DESPERATION of the highest order on the Republican side.

Another way to look at it

In a period when people were mad as hell at the government, Perot's selection of that whacked out tottering Admiral helped seal his election fate (it was not the only reason for his loss).

Think of all the other presidential candidates who made bad choices in running mates. With the exception of Bush the First and Potatoehead, usually the party with the weak VP candidate loses.

Besides, McSame standing next to his VP pick looks pathetic.
