weird and insane chris hitchens
stomps all over the really weird and really insane cult of mormonism, a
uniquely american twist on the religious derangement. as soon as you
learn just a little about how creepy and sick many of their beliefs are,
you should examine the more established religions and see the horrible
truth about them as well, but the mormons are fucking out there, a nasty
little group of freaks and perverts, the diseased product of an
especially bad time in american history.
watching these two clowns, one question comes to mind: is this the best
that a major american political party can do? i mean, these two
assholes are just about too stupid to breathe and yet, there they are.
this is a question for the ages if you are looking for a plastic carbon road bike frame before 1 january 2012. the crumpton corsa team
is a good-looking made-in-italy stock carbon frameset for almost 4
grand. for 3.5 grand this year, you could also get a custom appleman.
i'm not sure what i would or will do. the crumpton is a nice looking
sled, but the chance to get it tweeked is a strong incentive. the only
other carbon frame i'd consider would be from carl strong, but they're crumpton-expensive.
if that horrible fuckwad can be on fox news to push his asinine racist
book, can we hope that he will never be seen on any other tee vee outlet
ever again? of course not. but he sucks.
the mighty mighty mekons in a snazzy restaurant. who woulda thunk it,
though the mekons have a history of sit-down shows from way back on the natural tour,
so it was a natural extension of their current zeitgeist to play such a
venue. the new stuff fit in well with the old stuff, and tom looked
quite a bit more comfortable than he did on friday in brooklyn. in
2007, i was struck at how much tom was the leader of the band on stage,
but after four years without seeing him perform with the band, notably
missing the epic mercury lounge show in 2009, i thought he was a little
lost on friday but looked more natural on saturday. all in all, it was a
great experience, with a nice atmosphere and great sound. highly
recommended. the banter was especially sharp that night as well. a
nice bootleg of the show can be found here. highly recommended too.
watching all the assholes out there scream and cry in support of the
latest and greatest american war against evil where our oil lives, you
cannot help but be depressed. firedoglake was an interesting example
with snarky moron tbogg getting into it with some of our more
clear-headed citizens and
this followup bringing all the good democratic warriors out again.
after all the idiocy we've heard just in the last week, anyone who
believes obama's story about uganda is an asshole themselves. we only
kill bad people when they live on top of shit we need.
