Do yourself a favor and listen to this live performance by Joy Division.  From the depths of anguish, this is Joy Division.

Obama made a historical speech today announcing the States' complete withdrawal from Afghanistan.  Insert caveat here: by 2014.  Obama arrived in Kabul like a phantom under "the darkness of war" to sign a "strategic partnership agreement" with the incorruptible and oh so steadfast Hamid Karzai. Here's to two more years of unmitigated success.

China Sucks

Chairman Jintao

When I hear people say that they want to compete with China I instantly chuckle.  Ostensibly  I am laughing to my hearts content.  Deep down my fecal-filled colon clenches  because I am terrified of what "competing" with China entails: Cheap labor provide by the rural second-class citizenry (makes apartheid South Africa look like a hippie commune); horrible work conditions; forced sterilization and abortions; beating up blind people; and any other horrible conceptions that the Party can concoct for kicks.  Certain political players seem to are already taking measures to Chinafy this country by passing laws that regulate women's reproductive organs, suppress voter turnout, turn back fair wage laws, and other acts reserved for the darkest chambers of Pandemonium.  Finally to Cheng Guancheng I say: Keep your fingertips on the prize.

The UnApotheosis of Washington

The Apotheosis of Washington

People need a leader like George Washington.  These so-called leaders, that we ostensibly elect into power, seek out positions that grant them power, and what do they do with that power?  Fuck shit up.  We need a George Washington type to lead countries around the world.  I do not expound this belief because I have been indoctrinated, through many years of history lessons, to think that Gorge Washington is some sort of God figure, with Abraham Lincoln as his only begotten son.  But because he was a reluctant president and general who was damn good at being an administrator.  He knew how to manage situations and people so that shit would get done.  No platitudinous speeches.  NO BS.

A Futuristic Reign of Terror

Scared of Death, Terrified of Life

Goya's Atropos

Just thought it was a pithy statement.

No backtracking Bullshit

Deer Hunter Ted Nugent had some words about Barack Obama's possible reelection.  He said if Barry were to be elected in November, he, meaning Ted, would be in jail or dead.  But now that the Secret Service is all up on his business, Ted Nugent is trying to pass his words as hyperbolic rhetoric.  I wish that conservatives would stick to their guns.

North Korean Missile: The high cost of assholedom

Picture from the AP

Wonder how much the long range missile that N. Korea fired today costs?  Its less than $1 billion but more than $1.  It cost $855 million dollars to launch a long range missile.  That's a lot of gaksu.  Don't be surprise if they're filing for bankruptcy tomorrow.

The Discovery of The First Super Powered Mutant

George “The Killer Man” Zimmermann has been identified as the first Super Powered Mutant.  These abilities first manifested themselves after he shot and killed Trayvon Martin.  His powers seem to be an advanced healing factor, which allows him to recover from bodily harm at a faster rate than your average dick-hole.  Although he sustained a massive beating from unarmed Trayvon, suffering a broken nose and a gash to the back of his head, video from the night of the attack depicts a healthy, unharmed Robert Zimmermann.  Even the clothes he wears seem to recover from damage.  Zimmerman’s power could have the potential for both military and haute couture applications.

Cops Are Pussies

Cops shot some dude outside of a Monterey Park Car's Jr.  There has to be a better ways to subdue a man equipped with a crowbar especially if you have the numbers.  The Police were quoted as saying that the suspect swung his crowbar at them.  I think their definition of swing is different than the rest of the world.  Excessive force was obviously used by the police officers; the suspect was shot five times, went down, and was shot a few more times for good measure.  Cops have to deal with tough stressful situations and that fact can never be divorced from there occupations.  But seriously shooting the guy when he was already down, he must have taken another violent swing at the floor at the same time that he was swallowing his own blood.  Man up cops.  Employ some of your disarming techniques, hurl insults at the guy, throw rocks at the guy, talk him down, wear him out.  Don't try and make the job as simple as possible.  If it was, any asshole could carry a badge and a gun and shoot his way to commendations and promotions.

No More Combining Jeans With Sport Coats

I'm tired of seeing dudes combining jeans with a sports coat.  "Hey look I'm a hip successful urbanite, not some minion of Cthulhu, who through consumerism will bring his destructive return."  It is a subterfuge to try and seem more casual but the guys that do it are haughty dicks.  Although sport coats did have their beginnings as leisurely attire, it is now seen as more formal wear.  So make your choice: Rick Blaine or Joey Ramone.

Memorials Make Tools

Memorials are made to help us remember certain events, not always a tragic, or people, most likely dead.  That seems a fitting way to honor people and events that have had great significance for posterity.  It keeps the memories of these people and events alive long after they occurred.  However, I have a problem with people using memorials either to obscure certain facts that occurred or worse; completely change or omit the facts about past events.  What comes to mind, apropos, is Pearl Harbor.  The Memorial and all other celebrations surrounding that day don’t consider the events that led up to and followed that wretched day; American expansion into the Pacific caused an inevitable confrontation between the two big dogs in Michael Vick’s cadre of dogfighters; and after Pearl Harbor, the horrible policy enacted towards Japanese Americans, placing them in concentration camps, although we refer to them as internment camps now (concentration camp has such an ugly reverberation to it because of those Nazi dicks).  People will just assume that the treacherous Charlie Chan'ed mustachioed, bucktooth Japanese had nothing better to do on December 7th.  I am not trying to excuse the actions of the Japanese, it was cowardly yet well planned attack (think of the logistics involved, put UPS to shame) but we must not look at this event with rose colored glasses: it showed the world Americas resilience.  We must look at this event in conjunction with other concurrent crucial events.  It is necessary for people to remember antecedents and what they mean to us as individuals and as an amalgam of disparate peoples.  But we must not let memorials be used as tools of deception and indoctrination, best way to do this is to read as many books on the given subject, that way you can have your own informed views on the events that said memorial is memorializing.  To reiterate: I implore everybody to read because if we don’t, through underuse, though could become a vestigial structure. 

Occupy Wall Street Eviction

My boy, Langhorne

These occupy wall street pussies are getting kicked out of downtown Los Angeles.  As in other post I don't want to encourage violence but these protestors need to sack-up.  Non violence only works when you have a charismatic minority that does something wild like starve himself.  If they want to effectuate change than they need some martyrs that are willing to die for their cause (whatever that is).  seriously what is the endgame here.  Do they think that these greedy financial institutions, who with the help of the government have diluted the American Dream, turning it from a fine wine to a shity grape juice, will see the error of their ways and return all the money that they have hoarded like avaricious little squirrels.  Again I don't condone violence, but I don't see how non-violence will get these pusillanimous pricks closer to initiating the fundamental change that is necessary to save the weary.  All that can be done is take take a step back and have a chuckle.

Lazy Planner

This is not an endorsement to hurt the President of the United States.  I want to make it clear that I love this country so there is no need for the Secret Service to get involved because of the following commentary.  

AP picture of the alleged White House Shooter

If you are going fire weapons at the White House with the intent to maliciously hurt the president than make sure he is home.  Your going to get in trouble either way so you might as well go balls deep with your plan; you took the time to get guns and survey the area but you forgot the most important part of your plan, the whereabouts of your potential target.  For Christ’s nuts Obama’s trips to Hawaii and California were widely covered by the media.  He was at the televised North Carolina vs. Michigan State game that was held on the USS Carl Vinson, the ship that gave B. Lad his burial at sea.  What an asshole (both B. Lad and the dumb ass white house shooter)

I'd Vote for Putin

Vladamir Putin, Russia's Prime Minister, has come out with a very sexy commercial encouraging his young cool tovarisches to vote for the conservative Putin.  Putin is running for his third term as president and if his commercial delivers on its promise, well, god bless President Putin.  Here is a link to the video http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57323638-503544/russian-voting-booths-heat-up-in-new-ad/ 

If voting is like this, I have been doing it wrong for a long time.

Current Affairs

Ramita Navai's always ready for the business

Was watching Frontline on Syrian unrest, because it is very important to keep up with the goings on of the common struggling man, and I fell in love with Ramita Navai, the British journalist.  From that point on it was hard for me to sympathize with the plight of the Syrian dissidents; I was enthralled with Ramita’s dignified presence.  In the presence of fear she stood upright and continued to talk about resilience or something, I don’t really remember.  Goddamn she’s hot.  So fuck Bashar, because Ramita says so.

Red White and Blowing Your Mind

By Leroy Hines

Western Civilization is greatly indebted to Ancient Greece.  They were a superpower even before that fatuous word was ever used.  It’s sad to saw to see how far bellow the rock they have sunk, like a prizefighter with some sort of dementia.  But that is the natural course of great empires: they rise and they fall.  This invites the question, is the U. S. on the wrong end of their life span?  Or is this just one of those “raise yourself by your boot straps moment”, that will only make us that much more awesomer.  I think it’s the latter but only because it took the Greeks thousands upon thousand of years to get to this point.  Than again the U. S. has always been an innovator and I think they could go to shit quicker than any other sovereign state has ever gone to shit.  That’s what you call American Exceptionalism. 

South Park's Got The Right Idea

V for Vendetta by Allan Moore & David Lloyd

Yesterday’s episode of South Park entitled “1%” exemplifies the asinine attempt of the 99% to enact change through “non-violent protest.”  I’m not trying to say that the occupy Wall Street protesters don’t have a point; the so-called 1% did screw everybody else over just to make an easy buck.  But we were complicit by letting them get away with it and electing ineffectual representatives that allow these sorts of shenanigans to occur.  But back from my tangential mini tirade, best moment of the episode was when they have some protestor, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, dancing.  Many of the occupy Wall Street dickholes have also been seen wearing these masks.  Yet I would wager my soul that not many of them know who Guy Fawkes was and what he stood for.  He was just some uber-Catholic that was pissed that his religion was marginalized.  Religious oppression has no significance in the protest that is going on today.  They should adopt some more relevant heroes instead of something that they saw in a movie while they were tripping hard (it wasn’t even a good movie, read the comic book instead).  

Youth Is Wasted On The Young

George Bernard Shaw was one smart mutha.  Although not a psychologist he understood human behavior, the truth, which he claimed was funnier than any joke.  The Occupy Wall Street, Los Angeles Franchise, exemplifies what George Bernard meant with his famous and overly used quote.  They have the spirit to try and enact change; they just don’t have the drive and the focus to do it.  What they need is some charismatic leader that espouses the vilification of some evil, real or created.  They need to read Hoffer’s True Believer to get the blueprint on how to create a mass movement.  Untill they do they will just continue to smoke refer and clash amongst themselves.  Good Luck Scheizekopfs

That's Organization!
