One Year Ago Today

is herman cain a michael steele for the new decade?

will hermentum be allowed to be the smiling face of ignorant republican racism and self-hating identity politics just until he becomes a little too embarrassing and then be unceremoniously tossed into the gutter when a white lickspittle decides he wants the spot?  for the love of christ, let's hope so.  that's what i call fun. 

jon stewart sucks

watching bill o'reilly masturbate himself with a jon stewart falafel at the opening to his show tonight proves what a stooge jon stewart really is for allowing o'reilly to use stewart's own show against him.  who cares what stupid comments stewart made to make o'reilly look foolish?  o'reilly looks foolish every waking moment of his life.  stewart is dead wrong in giving that dickwad an other outlet on tee vee.  keep that vile fucker far away from your show; find low-effort humor in someone less disgusting and dangerous.

montana follows vermont in leading the way

this turns out to be the canadian model, essentially: having the sub-national governments (provinces or states) enacting their own versions of universal (single-payer) coverage, and then, after all the hard work is done and the programs become popular and successful, the idea spreads across the country before becoming national health care.

it's not going to be easy; there will be pushback by the weasels and sycophants who suck at the teats of the mellons and the coors and kochs and the duponts and petersons.  however, the success was too much to ignore in canada and could be here.  vermont, montana, places with leaders not afraid to innovate and to lead, real progress is possible.  

chris 'tweety' matthews is an idiot, again, and he has a boehner for chris christie

he thinks chris christie appeals to average americans.  matthews is almost as big of an asshole as christie.  matthews thinks christie is hurting.  matthews is almost as big of a moron as christie.  christie is a weathly servant of privilege.  the only things hurting on him are his crumbling knees and his greasy, withered heart.  he acts like a bully because he's an asshole pure and simple.  the only people his disgusting policies and aberrant behavior appeal to are fucking shitheads just like him.

greg gutfeld consistenly delivers the dumbest commentary on television

his every utterance is completely useless, even worse than dick morris, pat cadell or steve forbes!  he couldn't manage getting a hero sandwich without sounding like sean hannity's retarded boyfriend.  fucking champion! 

hermentum all over fox news now!

somebody at fox realized that bachmann and perry were not gonna be in the campaign long enough to deliver the batshit crazy ignorant bullshit that fox needs to broadcast to america long into 2012.  plus, cain being an african-american man can deliver their racist message with an unapologetic, manic uncle-tom glee.  this is nothing but win for fox news but could cost the republican party dearly.  i'm not sure cain has thefrothing, deep-seated jesus-madness cred necessary to inoculate the heathen cultist mittens against teabagger bigotry, so hermentum could sink the romney election chances on the romney/cain ticket.

watching occupy wall street percolate

occupy wall street has made it to cable tee vee, and now the network news broadcasts in brief.  so far, this is a pretty remarkable achievement, especially in light of the fact that the establishment media did its best to ignore the whole thing while hoping it just went away.  olbermann did good work early, and recently the rest of cable news is following in kind.  the police abuse certainly helped get the coverage, since tee vee loves to see helpless women tortured--almost as much as the nypd apparently!  so it took some suffering to get to the next level of coverage, but it may turn out to be a good thing.  that fucking animal cop bologna might lose his pension, and the fact that the protests continue may get a few people thinking and talking, and the thing we need as a political culture most of all is a more engaged and thoughtful electorate.  1% of americans are destroying the nation and world without any thought of the other 99%.  these protests could be the start of a legitimate effort to change that sad fact.  michael moore, russel simmons, susan sarandon, cornel west are lending the protests some coverage while using them to increase their own visibility.  moore has a book to sell, after all, and good for him!  anything that helps to further the goals of more and better democracy is worth more than a thousand embarrassing republican debates sponsored by google. 

nice to see some love for joe mcginiss's sarah palin book

yay for crooks and liars and tina dupuy for actually reading the book and not falling for the sarah palin as victim bullshit.  establishment media is lame it's true, and not just for their obvious bias (right-wing corporatist) but also for their sheer laziness and lack of curiosity.  palin is a shallow subject, but she's such a fucking money-grubbing bullshit artist that she is certainly a deserving target.

hahahahahahahahahah stupid knows no color

some of our dumbest americans are angry black women, but they're not stupid cuz they're black or women, they're stupid cuz they are just fucking morons.  out there on the interwebs, the world's worst unemployed lawyer soils herself because one of msnbc's lesser lights and 'professor' at one of our overpriced, non-selective private universities gets called out on especially lame obama fluffing.  we didn't hold obama to a higher standard because he was black but because he wanted the stupid job and it turns out he sucks at it!  imani gandy and melissa harris lacewell perry are almost as funny as the red sox in september. 

now it's done, and it's a great day for america

excellent.  coupla' quick things: paplebon blew two big saves to fuck his team during the collapse, and carl crawford is a huge waste of space.  of course, david price looked like shit tonight, as he has recently, but the rays had something to win, and they did.

now tom caron is talking about sifting through the rubble.  the post game show will not be truly sublime because eck's not there, but jim rice and his stylin' duds will be pretty entertaining.  now the death watch starts: tito 'the-least-popular-jackson-brother-evah' francona has to go.  the team started like shit, but 20 games lost in september and it has to be bye-bye.  maybe theo epstein should go to, but francona's history.  remy looks like he's gonna need his prescriptions adjusted right now.  'inexcusable', he says.  no shit.  20 losses in the last month of the season.  now they're talking about the trade deadline failures.  that's epstein.  oops.  papelbon's a free agent.  he's certainly going out a loser.  literally.  maybe the yanks can pick him up for the 6th inning of games cheap; they can go papelbon, soriano, roberts, mariano.  remy'll probably have to be on suicide watch unless he's a huge bruins fan and big drinker.

caron's writing off francona.  jim rice says the team didn't work hard enough.  holy shit, it's been 10 minutes, and even the jerkoffs in the studio are hanging the manager out to dry.  fucking awesome!  this is the redsox and boston sports in general at their best.  they're miserable happy losers who just don't know what to do if they win.  they'd rather cry than smile.  wah wah wah.  gotta love it.

meanwhile, the yankees are going about their business and don't have to play the miracle rays in the first series so they won't see them till next year.  and hell, even if they go out in the alds, they did better than the sox so it's a successful season in new york.

francona looks like a condemned man.  say he comes back next season and the team starts 3 and 15.  he'll be gone so fucking fast it'll make his head spin and glasses fly off, so it's probably better if they just fire him tomorrow and get it over with.  i know that teams are not supposed to step on the playoffs with high-profile firings, but maybe the sox ownership will be so fucking tweaked that they'll can tito and theo tomorrow in a spasm of frustration.  7 and 20 in september blows moose cock.

tom caron is talking like an old timey sox fan, expecting the worst and knowing that the sox will always find a way to fail.  that's the way it should be.  the sox, celtics, patriots and bruins are no fun when they win; boston is so much more entertaining when their teams lose in the most embarrassing ways possible.  talking up a bruins preseason game is the only thing they can do now.  fucking beautiful.

and the braves lose, too, and that's always good.  too bad that the cardinals and that hateful bastard larussa couldn't lose, too.  fuckers.

now caron is walking back the fire francona talk.  somebody musta motherfucked him up and down during the commercial.  the first feeling is right, though.  tito's toast.  'change the attitude in the clubhouse' from rice.  maybe big jim needs to go down and kick some ass to get those clowns going!  gonzalez is talking about god's plan.  what a fucking moron.  if jeebus cared about adrian fucking gonzalez, that would be about the most pathetic thing anyone could imagine.  maybe god can pay gonzalez's fucking salary for this season.  asshole.  most of these guys should just keep their idiot mouths shut.  and apparently gonzalez is bad luck, so he might wanna reconsider that god bullshit.  maybe allah would do more to help gonzalez get  world series ring or at least his teams into the post-season.  big poopy looks like he's gonna cry.  maybe he can run away to south america with manny.  papelbon looked like he was gonna cry, too.  what a pussy.  highly paid losers.  they certainly should bring back wakefield.  he's totally useless, so he fits right in.  'if theo's still around.  if terry's still around'.  sweet jesus, rice is vicious.  i think he wants the job.  that would be fun to watch, anyway.

that evan longoria from desperate housewives looks pretty happy in his postgame interview.  very nice for him with his show ending and stuff. 

tom caron must've been rehearsing his historic bitch and moan routine in the mirror.  like redsox teams of old, he said.  fuck yah.  heartbreakers.  losers.  cancer boy lester says papelbon is the best closer in baseball.  really?  what team was he watching?  fucking douchebag.  now he's making excuses.  epstein's looking a little green.  he probably hopes that sacrificing francona will be enough to save his job.  he looks like he's hoping to get the chance to fire francona and not find himself fired first.  two consecutive years of failure.  ruh roh.  sorry, charlie, the best teams in baseball are playing this weekend.  it sounds like epstein just threw tito under an express bus.  papelbon for a few, and it's over.  the sox post game goes out on a low low note. booo-hoooooo.

what a great day for america.  the devil rays love america.  the orioles love america.  america loves them back.
