you didn't expect that bastard to go the extra mile to stop a high tech lynching, did you?
it really is the best of times if you want a stock racing frame from a
small, american bike brand instead of the same old big name chinese
crap
bikes, some of which used to be big name american bikes from places
like pennsylvania, wisconsin and california. yeah, the crumptons are
made in italy, and the gaulzetti and the spooky are made under contract
by great small fabrication shops, but all three are straight up
american-bred racing frames for the folks who don't want or need custom
geometry or lugs and steel. the spooky is a killer deal. the gaulzetti
comes in a shitload of sizes. the crumpton looks for all the world
like all the crumptons, and italy is not china. if you like to ride,
you gotta have something, and these three frames are the tits. it's an
embarrassment of riches for the standard-sized bike dweeb with liquid
cash. these three aren't mine, but pretty cool nonetheless...
now where is the ~ 2k-3k titanium frame and fork from an american shop
in awesome stock sizes? that would fit in great with these three gems.
we should fix it. we refuse to leash our dog, but we can make it right
any time we want. of course we don't want to, but it would be really
fucking easy. cut off military aid to both sides, demand peace in
exchange for aid of any kind. neither side can survive for 30 seconds
without the largess of the united states, so if either side doesn't like
it, then let them beg for handouts elsewhere in the world. pretty
easy, but we don't want to solve the problem. we like the vicious dog.
we don't like the dirty poor people, and we like to see their children
slaughtered in the street. we get a special feeling when we sell the
murder machines to our attack dogs and they use them.
my dream for palestine is that for every bullet israel gets, palestine
gets two. for every attack helicopter israel receives, palestine gets
two. for every fighter-bomber israel buys, palestine buys two. for
every mercenary assassin israel sends to commit summary murder,
palestine sends two even more vicious and cruel. when faced with the
reality of enduring terror twice as terrible as they have unleashed on
the palestinians, my dream is that only then will israel show their
inherent bully's cowardice and surrender, begging for peace in the face
of at last knowing war they are helpless to stop. at that point it will
be up to the people of palestine to decide whether they are better
human beings than the israelis have been to them.
watching mahmoud abbas terrorize the united states and israel
at the united nations is a thing of sublime beauty. for an essentially
powerless people to be able to threaten the fortunes of the both the
world's largest empire as well as the local terrorist state shows the
ultimate futility of violence and occupation. while israel's sins are
well known, this stunt by the palestinian leadership threatens to expose
the vile hypocrisy of the united states once and for all toward freedom
and self-determination for the majority of the arab world. after this,
no one in the arab world should trust the ideals of the united states
again.
the mere fact that a
place like georgia
executes anyone is an assault on reason.
no shit.
suskind's piss take is doing a good job of opening some eyes as to the
shit show that the obama administration has been from the start. his
economic team, his chief of staff, all wrong-headed fuckwads leading the
country into the ditch because obama was exactly the sort of idiot who
believes the right-wing bullshit on taxes and spending and everything
else spewed out by the mellons, the olins, the coors, the kochs and the
petersons for 40 fucking years. this has been obvious for a long time;
obama was not a coward and a sellout. instead, he was a dim-bulb true
believer doing his best to govern as a corporatist tool. it's not his
fault that the racist assholes in the republican party couldn't stick
with the plan.
clearly, he's some sort of omnipotent hero because he gets the
cowardly democratic establishment
frothing like marine corps santorum. notice the use of the word
'genius' by so many of the bottom-rung obama apparatchiks; this was
clearly a mission they were given, and the circle-jerk was raging
full-on. some of the pushback from the folks has been excellent,
though. it sure looks like obama's toast; american leftists are just
not that stupid. too bad for the president because someone who isn't
rick perry probably beats him unless barry gets abducted by aliens and
replaced with a man of principle. elizabeth warren will certainly be
one of the standouts next year, and though she's not running as a third
party candidate, watch the obama campaign treat her like she's in the
green party.
sweet jeebus, couldn't the koch-sucker brothers hire better clowns
than this? wisconsin must be real small-town boring if walker is the
best tool you could find to lead your charge in the state. it's not
even his chronic-masturbater vibe that's the problem; he's apparently
too stupid to live.
this is the letter that got
stooges, cowards and
sad ole tom so menstrual yesterday, as found on the
single payer action
site. if you actually read it, which i'm sure dennis g., imani gandy,
poor ole tom and the others dipshits failed to do, you can only come up
with one question: what the hell are they so afraid of? having robust
debate, demanding that liberal policy solutions be represented in
presidential politics, and doing everything to not allow obama to suck
as hard as he has been are all great things. so what if feingold's not
into it; he's been weakly center-left his whole career and only looks
like a commie in comparison to joe biden and evan bayh. establishment
democrats are as stupid as the garden-variety teabagger. and their
establishment sucks donkey balls.
the health insurance disaster
is not going anywhere in america. now that the number of uninsured has
passed the 50 million mark, what is going to be the trigger that
finally destroys our health care system and crumbles our broken politics
so that we can finally deal with the problem like the rest of the known
universe. lack of access continues to grow, right along with cost
inflation. since anybody with a brain understands that this can't
continue much longer, what is finally gonna break it open? obama
failed, and the problem remains. the stresses on the system are
eventually going to unleash a world of hurt.
the dadt thing is right in her wheelhouse, moreso than even our
breeder-american majority. bigotry and teh stupid know no borders, but
for teh gay, it's gotta be extra special to give the finger to those
small-minded fuckers once and for all over this stupid thing. this clip
is certainly one of the feel-good videos of the day. the dad is so
mellow about it; good for him.
