Dancin' Days

John Frakking Edwards

Why do I get the horrible feeling that even now this inexcusable fucktard would be a far better president than we've had in a long frakking time?

If You've Got A Blacklist, I Wanna Be On It

I wanna put some fucking names on the kill list.  If we're gonna have an evil emperor instead of a president, at least I could get some enjoyment outa it...

Wisconsin Counter Punch for Obama

When the Wisconsin recall turns into a giant shit sandwich on June 5th, I hope to hell that all those good and decent people out there and around here see Obama's role for what it is.  Giant pussy or establishment conservative ass clown, which would you rather believe Obama is?

Obama 2012: Now With 10% Less Anal Leakage

Now that the 2012 campaign is frothing in earnest, Obama is positioning himself as the guy who's not quite as big a douchenozzle as Mittens.  With his heinous Supreme Court picks, indefinite detention, torture, drone atrocities, center-right economic policies, and police-state inclinations drizzled with a little bit of gay marriage, Obama is hoping that the poor fuckers outside the beltway will hate him less than the corpse-babtizing ass-whipe Romney.

new day rising

if fukushima is to be the start of a rational reconsideration of energy policy in general and nuclear power in particular, you can be damn sure it won't be the united states taking the lead.  the japanese and europeans have the political cultures better capable of addressing serious, long-term issues.

not the end of the world, but

fukushima isn't going to be a vacation destination for a few thousand years.

1001st No Fault

Excellent Black Bloc

Spotted on Counterpunch, naturally.  You ain't gonna find this sorta stuff on Kos, Americablog, or TPM.

For At Least The Last Five Years

The only good thing about Daily Kos has been the links page, but even that was way better with the last page layout.  The thing is, he wasn't lying.  It has been an Establishment Democratic, Democratic Party organization from the start, and the Democratic Party is a right-wing party.  Don't forget, Kos's first 'book' was written with Joe Trippi, a Fox 'News' personality.  Had the leftish elements of the Democratic electorate been able to organize around the new interwebs-type media, that would have been a great thing.  But it also would have been a huge threat to Markos's paymasters, so it wasn't gonna happen.

Political Song for Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Sing

Funny Luke Russert Takedown

From Salon.  Pareene is 100%, abso-frakking-lutely wrong about one thing, though--and unfortunately it is the first point he tries to make.  Tim Russert didn't get his job on NBC through hard work and brains; in a sense it was almost exactly the opposite.  Tim Russert got picked by epic cocksucker Jack Welch specifically because Russert was not a journalist, had no journalistic instincts or journalistic ethics.  Instead, Russert was dim-bulb political staffer and shameless careerist hack and suck-up who would be a stalwart defender of Welch's establishment dogma specifically because he was too stupid and too incurious to ever develop any other worldview.  So...figure Lil Luke is an even bigger worthless douchebag than his asshole father.

An American Shame

Wilfred's losing, but the Sox are on Fox, so no NESN post game with the possibility of a Beckett loss and Eck's insanity.  Fuckers.

Yes, It's True: The Democrats Deserve to Lose

Debbie 'I know nothing. Nothing!' Wasserman-Schultz is obviously much more concerned with her own tee vee time than about winning elections or advancing any politics that might even be remotely considered liberal or progressive or leftish, so fuck her and all the rest of those frakking bastards.

darwin deez solved!

darwin deez: what you get when lou barlow knocks up vampire weekend.

we've got bigger problems now

and i have no idea why so many folks got so offended at big ed's use of the word slut when talking about that vicious hateful harridan, but i'm not all that sensitive; i'm also not 10.  i'm of the opinion that the ladies, the sluts and the prudes alike, can take care of themselves and words don't hurt any more than we let them after we're 15 or so.  i guess i'm not just not cool enough.  oh, well.

right wing whore is about right

ed's getting kudos from the cool kids and leftish pearl clutchers and defenders of women for his over the top apology to that screeching right-wing whore.  it's idiotic to get so bent over a radio blowhard mildly insulting such a worthless meatbag; lefties, liberals, villagers, progs and the like do themselves a disservice when their response is anything more than a quick acknowledgement, possibly a tsk-tsk and a quick moving-on to all the other right-wing sluts who are busy busy busy fucking up the nation.  grow the fuck up people; we've got bigger problems now.

right wing slut

oopsie.  crazy ole ed schultz called some vile cretin a sexist name.  yes, the very sensitive types have a point about name calling, and the not quite so sensitive folks have a point about all the specialized names that women get called that men don't or wouldn't be so sensitive about.  he really should have cut out the sexist part and called laura ingraham a horrible, lying, right-wing chunk of human filth.  that would have been ay oh kay!

Strange Ways to Win Wars

Don't Fuck a Senator

Wisconsin Sucks

And so does Obama.  The President and the Democrats should have been bitch slapping Walker continuously during this recall and spending the money and publicly leading the fight to remove that weasel cocksucker.  Of course, they had no interest in doing that.  If Obama manages to lose in November, this sort of fuckup will be a big reason why.  If the Democrats or the President were worth anything at all, they would have made it a top priority to embarrass the Republicans with an epic Wisconsin defeat.

Dave Lindorff on the Beat

On Counterpunch.  Nobody should be surprised that the cops are doing everything they can to fuck with anyone and every one who dares to protest or speak out.  Of course, this didn't start last week or the week before that; it's been standard practice for at least 10,000 years.

cornel west finds a nut

cornel west caught a rash of shit for what he said about obama.  plenty of fools on the leftish blogs got all bent, but it's hard to fault him for what he actually said.  it's clear he felt dissed by obama over the inaguration and shit, and while obama never actually said he wasn't a complete corporate tool, west and lots of others hoped for better.  west has the reputation as a relentless self-promoter and academic lightweight, but even though he was a bit hissy and over the top on this one, he was spot on. 

pawlenty? really?

captain underpants is gonna rescue the ghost of reagan?

palestine? where's that

if they don't go to the united nations because the united states and israel don't support it, well, fuck them.  it was good enough for israel, and everything worked out just so well.

palestine, take 2

since democracy will never be tolerated in palestine/israel, perhaps the best solution would be many billions of dollars of loans and grants to the people of palestine so that they may sustain an enormous military infrastructure and give the freedom-loving zionists a fair fight.  true, there may be some collateral damage, and the occasional innocent civilian might get injured, but it's the only solution that makes sense given the current political climate. 

palestine: one man, one vote

let's see a little democracy in action.

since we're feeling charitable, let's do one woman, one vote also!

Gimme Gimme Gimme

I don't care if it is a total rip-off of the Pegoretti Pogostick.  I don't care if it is a stunt.  I don't care if it has a stupid fork, not even painted to match.  I don't care if I already have a bike the same color.  I don't care if it's totally unsuited to serious riding with that stupid integrated seatpost thing.  Gaulzetti mountain bike.  I want one.  Gimme gimme gimme. 

Tim Wakefield

I'm sure Tim Wakefield is a great guy; everyone in Boston loves the guy, apparently, and he was a great team sort of guy and wily veteran sort of player, I guess.  There is a problem, though.  Without Wakefield and his potential for epic shellackings, the Red Sox post-game show on NESN is not as entertaining as it was when Wakefield was on the team.

Barbara Comstock: Wingnut Hall Of Famer

I caught a little of this crazy bitch on Fox this afternoon on my way out.  Apparently she got elected to some seat in the Outhouse in Virginia.  Jesus-Frakking-Christ, she's been a frothing nutbag for decades now; reading David Brock's Blinded By The Right is still useful 10 years later.  Many of those fucking low-lifes like Comstock are still out leading the bullshit today.  They must fucking hate that back-stabbing Homersexual Brock.

so it better be the end of the fucking world!

d-n-a

i know absolutely nothing about dancing, but this video clip for darwin deez' dna is inexplicably compelling.  a quick google search says that the dancers, mishay petronelli and joshua pelatzky, are professionals in nyc, and that the guy in blue, pelatzky, did the choreography.  he really did a good job telling the story of the song, which is kinda catchy and kinda annoying, and the liberal use of cuts and edits makes the whole thing move effortlessly and keeps the overall feeling light.  the fact that red (petronelli) has a winning smile doesn't hurt.  later, all three pairs of dancers look like they're having so much fun, and the fact that darwin deez is never seen only makes it better!  the second clip has a minute of no-dancing set-up in a director's cut.

Gaulzetti Long-Low

Gaulzetti channels the Rivendell Long-Low with their steel Cazzo frame.  I'm sure it's very nice, but I can't help but wonder why they don't just offer a welded-steel version of the straight-up Gaulzetti road frame with their Ridley-inspired geometry and full range of sizes?  That would be cool.

Update: Cazzo reconsidered.

Dave Lindorff Hangs On

Dave Lindorff is not letting this go, and that's a very good thing.  The Occupy Movement is no friend of Obama's or the Democrats', and if it had gained a wider foothold, the Democrats would have been more widely exposed as enormous assholes just like the Republicans.  Obama's political future depended on crushing the movement long before it became a popular/populist cause.

Andy Pettitte makes Roger '2 million dollar arm and 2 dollar head' Clemens look like a MacArthur Award winner.  I'm sure the level of discourse in the clubhouse was elevated as soon as he got up this year.  Nick Swisher must need someone to discuss epistemology and current implications of Derrida in the rapidly evolving 21st century culture.  He's a horse, though, and I wonder if he'll get a decent number of wins this year.

dead or alive?

there's tons of chatter on the interweb tubes as to whether or not the bin laden mission was a capture that turned into a kill or a kill.  i think it's pretty clear that it was a kill mission.  shot twice, once in head, then chest, identified then dumped in the ocean like garbage.  there was never any intention of taking him alive.

rachel maddow has pakistan on the brain

she's all bent because pakistan and the isi are eyebrow deep in this bin laden shit and have been for years.  it almost sounds like this is her first day here.  i'll say it again: essentially bin laden was hiding in pervez musharraf's mother-in-law's basement all this time, and shitloads of people either knew it or had a pretty good hunch.  but remember, pakistan has nukes, so, well, just shut up.

bin laden kills attempt to kill gaddafi

bin laden's overdue exit has killed the other big story: nato (aka the united states) tried to freedom bomb gaddafi to death over the weekend.  that's also known as assassination--or possibly murder, depending on which end of the attempt you're on--and that's expressly what we said we weren't doing.  crazy. 

now what?

listening to obama, it sure sounded like that answer was nothing changes.  bin laden's death will probably amount to nothing more than a sideshow attraction while all the wars on the midway continue unabated.

on the other hand, the news networks are playing up the celebration outside the white house.  and nobody's saying what a terrible failure this was of bush, jr.'s policy and foreign policy management.
