One Year Ago Today

crumpton corsa team

i have no other information than the scant amount from the crumpton site, but italian plastic carbon, not chinese, for the same price as an s-works frameset.  this thing, the crumpton corsa team looks really nice and racy.  pretty damn compelling if you were considering spending 6 grand on a custom carbon frameset or 4 grand on a chinese stock frame.  i'm not, but if i was, i'd probably get this as the geo is pretty not bad for me.

hollywood hates women

duh.  of course hollywood hates women and hates the thought of women controlling their bodies or their lives.  the hollywood culture is as dumb as the establishment infotainment media; in fact, they're essentially one and the same.  of course hollywood hates men and pets, too.  they keep giving us steven spielberg, jj abrams, micheael bay and paul giamatti after all.

obama's horrible political instincts

ezra klein's analysis is that the president started whoring himself to the class war only because the republicans refused to let him govern as one of their own (probably because he's black black blackie black black and they just can't handle that), so now he has to settle for populist rhetoric instead of his conservative political values in order to get reelected.  that's sad, because he would have rather been that great compromiser right-wing corporatist tool, but the republicans were too stupid to let him give them everything they wanted.  

obama's lost years

seeing how easily obama got the republican and fox news morons off their game with his mild tax-the-rich schtick, it's kinda sad to think how much public support he coulda grown for not only himself but also tons of other democrats if he had played this game from the start.

rivendell atlantis

when this thing came out, it was something new: a well-thought, lugged touring frame for the 21st century.  it remains a pretty nice bike to this day, though no longer the wicked deal it was back in the 90's.  the early pointy-lug version was a little nicer, but the color remains simple and plain and almost celeste.  the wide, flat crown is a beauty.  it's hard to find a picture on the internets of one that doesn't have stupid-high bars and other crap.  the ideal would be road bars, ergo, triple crank, wide range gears, fenders, no stupid racks but maybe generator hub and no bars way above the saddle.  the 700c wheeled sizes probably were the ticket.

breaking: charlie rangel did not resign

pelosi, obama, and all the other idiots who were so keen on getting weiner dog out of the house and turning his district over to the mother fucking republicans probably got a little woozy watching charlie rangel fuck with rick perry today.  rangel did not listen to pelosi or any whiny bitches on the internet; he did not resign, and today he was able to make a retard from texas look stupid in the big apple.  not exactly rocket science, but still good fun and better for america than surrendering.  republicans know this.  hopefully rangel did a little to pound this lesson home today for the democrats.  anthony weiner won't be around anymore to fuck with glenn beck, those goldline dicks or anyone else.  nice going assholes.

bill o'reilly has his panties in a bunch

besides being a closet case and self-obsessed cocknozzle, he's also a greedy little fuck apparently.  'punishing achievement' indeed!  bill o'reilly will never miss a chance to be a loyal, small-minded class warrior (for the bad guys).  what an asshole.

plus he's a fucking liar.  he's never gonna be oppressively taxed in this country.  ike's rates weren't oppressive; fdr's rates weren't oppressive.  if the top
marginal rates were higher, and there were more brackets, certainly the economy did pretty well in the 50's.
