But I don't suppose that Dubya mentioned anything about e-voting and the holes that allowed him to steal the 2004 election, did he..?
The phrase "statistical impossibility" didn't glide past his lips at any point, did it? Nah. Old news.
So what if the votes aren't counted? WE'RE STILL THE GREATEST COUNTRY EVER. AMERICA! FUCK, YEAH!!! COUNTING VOTES ACCURATELY IS FOR SISSIES!!!
If the votes aren't accurately counted, democracy ceases to exist. Dubya was appointed to his first term and stole his second term, and no one seems to notice nor care. Why is that?
Even John Kerry, whom you'd assume would be pretty freaking hot and bothered by an artless theft of key states, rolled over and died within about 48 hours... I expected cars to be burned in protest and the economy to screech to a halt while people screamed bloody murder -- THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN -- but the Sheeple didn't so much as bleat as the USA assumed its new role as global poster child for election fraud...
Oh, shit, I forgot... they only plug Democrats, don't they..?
Funny how that works...
Was it not "Popular Mechanics" that published an article on 9/11/01 and the magic-bullet physics involved?
Why would anyone pay the slightest attention to anything PM ever published following that nonsense?
It was like the readership drop after National Geographic published a cozy-loving story on Augusto Pinochet back in '87 or '88. Or Life magazine publishing a photo of the Shah of Iran playing cards with his family in '78 or '79 in a "much less opulent setting than expected"..? Mainstream ham-fisted opinion sculpting.
There's not enough Aqua-Velva or Old Spice after shave in the world to cover up the stench of bullshit. Their readership is certainly more oriented towards Buicks that the Prius...
Not Muslims... remember those five dancing Israelis (Mossad agents) arrested after being witnessed celebrating and videotaping the collapse of the WTC towers..? No? Good, you're not supposed to, they were spirited out of the country after six weeks of interrogation.
Can we get the I$raelis to give us their eight-times-the-size-of-the-Berlin-wall and put it around the DC beltway? Lock every suit in DC inside and LEAVE THEM THERE..? Not a bad thought -- return power to the states. Shun the Feds.
The Federal response to Katrina was an appalling disaster in and of itself. There is no possible way even the most brainwashed conservative could seriously try and spin it.
Like a dumb dog with a toy in its mouth, the goon squads refuse to let go... why? Don't ask, they don't have the brain cells to comprehend the question, much less formulate an answer. Apparently the mammary glands of attractive women pose a particular threat to Mehrcuh and they needed to be squeezed, groped and fondled as often as possible to protect our freedom.
The 9/11 story is full of more holes than the JFK turkey shoot. Yet the Sheeple refuse to bleat. Perhaps they're beyond action, it sure seems that way.
What was the line from "1984"..? The vision of the future is a boot stomping on a human face... forever..? How far are we from that?
"You can't ask that question, citizen. May I see your papers?"
(Oh, shit, dated drug humor... what will my peer group think..??)
It would be refreshing for a Democrat to up and shout out that the official 9/11/01 is a steaming pile of bullshit, that the US was severely wrong to invade Iraq, on and on -- the stuff that most semi-enlightened persons know in their hearts to be true. Instead of treading in the footsteps of Republicans, pick up a good-sized rock and hit the Republicans in the back of the skull with it.
Peel off the layers of bullshit and CLEAN HOUSE. The 2004 Presidential election was badly flawed thanks to e-voting. Is that not a real cause for concern? Votes not being counted? Yet we have DINOs (Democrats In Name Only) talking about issues that Republicans hold near and dear instead of hanging CEOs for treasonable vote fraud.
How about something along the lines of "GET THE FUCK OUT OF IRAQ TODAY" to cleanse the political palate..? Would that not be refreshing..? Bracing, even..?
And how would it change the face of global politics for the United States to take a step AWAY from I$rael..? Wow! Kryptonite! "Say, I've noticed that I$rael is a FOREIGN COUNTRY and that Washington is full of Zionists the way rotted wood is full of termites..." You know, acknowledge the 800-lb gorilla in the living room..?
Nothing is funnier than anti-dope propaganda... Reefer madness! Help!! What's next? Syncopated negro music..??
But seriously, folks... the danger of institutionalized lies about reefer is that kids then assume that they've also been lied to about white powders, pills, et cetera -- some of which are genuinely dangerous or at least confusing. Imagine the damage that could be avoided by telling the simple truth about marijuana.
One time I knew somehow who had once tried marihuana and their brain turned to black goo and they were dead by morning and buried in an unmarked grave... not.
