back to the politics a bit (warning: expletive filled)...

hey folks. I'd taken a bit of a break from random political blogging having come to the obvious conclusion that the information is already out there, and if you want to find it/read it/etc., it is there for your consumption, at your leisure and with no comment from yours truly.

but what I've found is that my staying away hasn't accomplished what I'd hoped it would: a mellowing of my brain-twisting rage and utter incomprehension at what is going on in our society today. the apathetic aquiesence of a television/work dulled populace to the ugly, insidious soft fascism that has crept into our daily lives has continued to make me, for lack of a more poetic turn of phrase, motherfucking goddamned crazy.

so I'm going to go back to my daily reads of what's happening, and you can supplement your reading of my madness with the various links to your right on the screen. I also encourage, highly encourage, striking out on your own and linking my ass up with more information about the topics at hand. and in the future I plan on offering more commentary, more of my own analysis to ponder and discard, and less merely random links, less "hey, look at this crazy shit, huh?!"

and I'm going to start by making a suggestion to anyone out there who ever has to deal with a factless opposenik of some kind, the family Bill O'Reilly, some asshole at work who never reads a paper but has opinions on everything that is going on in the world, people who love to force you to defend your own political philosophy in toto, while they haven't bothered to gather anything resembling comprehensive rational fact-based opinions: the minute you find yourself in a so-called 'debate' with one of these people, just stop. then kindly inform them that you have lots of facts about Topic X, that there are a lot of sources out there to confirm your knowledge about Topic X. then let them know that the only way you are going to debate them and their "truthiness" any further is by putting some money on it. that's it. slap a hundred dollar bill on the table and ask em where their facts and sources are. then if you must, find a computer, look it up and unload. usually when looking at a buck on the table like that, people sometimes reconsider the urgency of their position. and if not, easy hundred bucks.

try it. you'll like it. and always remember: "reality has a well-known liberal bias" that supports those pesky "facts."

and now on to the March of the Assholes:



this guy is from Georgia. neat. shouldn't you at least BELIEVE THE SHIT THAT POURS FROM YOUR MOUTH?

um, John Murtha, to answer your question,Rove NEVER SERVED, in fact had MANY deferments including one where he wasn't even a full time student. and why doesn't John Murtha, 38 year veteran of the Marines, walk over to Rove's office and PUNCH that fat fuck in his COWARDLY LYING MURDERING FACE?

and speaking of draft dodging assholes with big fucking mouths, how about Ted Nugent?

According to a July 15, 1990 interview for the Detroit Free Press, Nugent described how he avoided the draft during the Vietnam War: He claims that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with excrement and stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says. His quote: “ but if I would have gone over there, I’d have been killed, or I’d have killed, , or I’d have killed all the Hippies in the foxholes… I would have killed everybody.”

and now, the Biggest Asshole of Them All:

he's the Prince ofthe Dark Side; he makes sure his boys are well taken care of, and they look out for him. he would never start a war for money, and makes sure the contracts are honest. when it comes to war and leadership, it's certainly not by example. and in the end, he's a realist, making accurate decisions based on facts.

what's going on here again? couldn't be anything like this could it? who's in charge here? the March of the Assholes rumbles on (see what our good friend The Jaded Prole is thinking)...
