One Year Ago Today

bill maher vs. eric bolling?


jesus.  bill maher vs. eric bolling is kinda like a midget vs. a plankton.  or a midget vs. plankton.  maher is pretty much a clown, but compared to eric bolling, maher looks like mark twain.  bolling is just a fucking zero, so the jeebus-tebow-bolling team is pretty much not even able to take the field in that rhetorical donnybrook against the stunted master-of-wit bill maher.  

eric bolling:


 

can't you do better than ron paul?

really, you gotta do better than ron paul.  is he really all that good stuff?  is he really the stalwart man of principle, constitutional defender, non-interventionist, small government, anti-war, liberty hero racist, self-promoting nutjob asshole?  watching him twist in the wind over his racist newsletter and pretend he's not at all familiar with that topic makes him seem just like every romneyesque weasel politician out there, so i have exactly zero confidence that ron paul would be a flawed hero for liberty and the 99% on many important issues.  you gotta go do better than ron paul.  he's a clown almost identical to all the other clowns out there.  better than obama?  of course, but romney would be better than obama, so that's a pretty fucking low bar.  on the other hand, maybe all good americans now have the best reason of all to vote for ron paul.

all this gay rick perry shit is pretty fucking hilarious even if i don't believe it at all.  but really, who cares?  gay perry is just as useless as straight perry, and just as fucking ignorant.  the gay rick perry stuff has been floating around for years, but no evidence has ever popped up, so there's no sense getting into a frothy mess over outing another pathetic republican closet case.  

iowa ugly

it looks like hurricane ron might be plowing into iowa next week.  the little bastard might pull it off, and that will cause a shitload of short-term image problems for the republican party.  he can't and won't ever win the nomination, but his victory in iowa followed by a romney romp in new hampshire will pretty much clear the table for mittens.  after that, somebody's gonna have to get a fucking wash 'n dry for all the ron paul acolytes who'll spend the next six months blubbering about the unfairness of the system.

flushing big ben


soon, one of our most useless senators, big ben nelson, will be nothing but an historical skid mark.  really, he has been a pustule on the ass of democracy as long as he's been in government, so bye-bye dickhead.  if the democrats need that sort of man in their caucus, they have already lost.  

american m-16

i really like the ride of mountain bikes with sub-16 inch chainstays.  the original eastern woods bikes, along with a few others including the american m-16--and lamely ripped-off by gary fisher years later--pushed the envelope for short chainstay frames.  unfortunately, the details on the american were not quite right.  for one, the aluminum tubing made clearance even more of an issue than the short-stay steel frames.  in addition, the american didn't use a longer front center like most of the designs did, so the wheelbase got a little short for real technical and high-speed riding.  the eastern woods geometry, with short rear and longer top tube and shorter stem, was my favorite mix.  the american needed a few tweaks, but it was an interesting frame and i'd love to be able to get a custom version with the proper long top tube and shorter seat tube; that would make a ripping bike.  hate the fucking name--uzzi anyone?--but i'd get one anyway.  another time machine mission, i guess.
