occupy wall street wins its first big victory
the occupy wall street folks have bagged their first big, important trophy. tonight the rejects on fox news and especially o'reilly and hannity devoted valuable (to them) fox news air time to mock the protests and protesters. that's a huge win for the good guys. if those asswipes are taking the time to belittle you, you have scared the shit out of them. nice job. boo-ya!
al-awlaki: obama's latest murder. this time with robots.
barack obama, the pentagon and the cia finally bagged their latest harmless straw-man idiot with a couple of very expensive robots and a few missiles. anwar al-awlaki, american citizen, mostly-harmless ranting moron, scary muslim straw man and now, unfortunately, martyr, was murdered by the united states cia and military at the order of the president today, along with a few other people we don't care enough to talk about, with a robot drone and missile so that the president and the military/intelligence infrastructure can pretend that they are 'winning' a 'war' against 'terror'. al-awlaki's greatest crime was being able to speak fluent english. his second greatest crime was not being an enthusiastic believer in such bullshit as 'american exceptionalism'. the big problem for all of us is that al-awlaki was an american citizen. back when we had a constitution, american citizens had protections against such slights as extra-judicial murder and assassination. now, we have assholes and morons of all stripes lining up to cheer this outrage.
whatever al-awlaki's crimes beyond his english fluency may have been we will never know. right now, the only evidence we have that he was a danger to anyone anywhere is the word of his killers, and they are not known to be very smart or very honest. all independent evidence states that this clown was just some guy who poked the eye of the american hegemony with his idiot rantings, so he had to die. the fact that he was an american citizen is conveniently ignored by the cheerleading fuckers. america has moved far beyond a nation of laws, and this is merely the latest example. the president used the full force of the u.s. military and intelligence forces to murder an american citizen without trial, without evidence and without reason. how long will it be until a president uses a drone to assassinate a citizen on u.s. soil? anyone who cheers the murder of al-awlaki is either a monster or a fool of gigantic proportions.
al-awlaki was a perfect scary monster for consumption in the u.s. a man with little or no connection to actual operations against the interests of the united states but instead a u.s. citizen who didn't subscribe to the 'america fuck yeah' worldview, he was a safe target and could be held up as a traitor for the cheering monkeys back home. he's another john walker lindh, a bad bad american who deserved to suffer and die so that the rest of america could feel better. lindh was a harmless goof and al-awlaki was just as ineffectual. the u.s. government has attempted to connect him to every act of violence in the past 10 years, but anyone dumb enough to buy that load of horseshit is free to wallow in their own fetid ignorance forever and ever.
watching the sickening self-congratulating today all over the media from elected and military officials along with tee vee buffoons and random internet jerkoffs is both one of the most disgusting as well as one of the most pathetic displays in recent american history. whatever potential the american experiment had is long dead. the only american exceptionalism extant is exceptional evil and stupidity.

if obama wants to murder a few more folks, i have a list
now that we've stopped pretending we're a nation of laws and freedom, i have a list of people i'd like to see killed if obama is at a loss for new targets. i fully endorse assassination and summary execution for people i'd like to see dead, so if obama needs any help killing people, i'd be happy to forward him my list.
when bill o'reilly praises your extra-judicial murder, you know you are wrong
dumb-as-a-post evil fucker bill o'reilly was all over the murder of purported dirtbag anwar al-awlaki, stroking his major boehner and fluffing obama in the 'war' on 'terror' at the start of his show tonight. if anyone needed any evidence that what we did in yemen was evil and wrong, here you go. if o'reilly says it's good, you know it's as wrong as wrong can be.
francona to change his sox?
that would be an interesting play. i would be curious to see how much success he has in chicago. his reputation could be severely tarnished after a tenure with the white sox, even considering the boston september 2011 fuckup. or not. either way it would be better for entertainment to have him manage in the american league.
next time, let bank of america fail
there's no such thing as too big to fail. if boa wants to screw over its customers, please remember what they did and next time let them go out of business. what we in the united states don't seem to understand is that private businesses exist to serve the needs of the citizens and not the other way around. any private enterprise that cannot survive due to incompetence or poor policies deserves to fail. bank of america is a great example of this, and it is to our great discredit that we protected their wealth and privilege on the backs of the average americans.
wait, what? melissa harris-lacewell-perry is a great black public intellectual?
what the fuck? if this dipshit is right, then we are all beyond fucked, the white, the black, the brown and the blue people, too. what makes her a great public intellectual? because she is on msnbc fluffing obama's failures? because she teaches at one of our numerous expensive and non-selective private universities? because she's an african-american woman? what's next, imani gandy is going to be hailed as the finest political mind of the 21st century? sweet jesus mother fucking christ, can't we do better than this bullshit? we're doomed.
thar she blows! the great christie whale!!
moby's dick is still out there! put the boats in the water boys and man the harpoons!

olbermann calls out dan shaughnessy
keith olbermann had lots of fun calling out dan shaughnessy at the end of his show tonight. the red sox epic fail is a gift that keeps on giving.
is herman cain a michael steele for the new decade?
will hermentum, the cain train 999, be allowed to be the smiling face of ignorant republican racism and self-hating identity politics just until he becomes a little too embarrassing, only to 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.
