mirror from myspace.

2008-04-24T00:58:00.000-07:00

i've decided to mirror my myspace blog here. so here is my 1st installment of today's politically correct blog.

man, i'm sounding like a broken record. the pentagon spends $2,000,000,000.- a day! HELLO!!!!!! 2 fucking BILLION!!! A DAY! and why doesn't this cause an outrage?? because the vast majority of americans are so fucking stupid, they think a billion is 10 million! not that a million is a real concept to them anyway, or the difference between 10 and 1,000 million. and guess what? cooped up in their shitty little suburban condos and cookie-cutter houses they're thinking: 'glad that's not my money they're spending...'

but what DOES cause an outrage? paul verhoeven writing a book questioning jesus' 'virgin birth'. (how did a mexican pool-guy get to be god's son anyway?) i don't have the energy anymore to comment on that shit, except to say this: it ain't easy being a different, more evolved species than the dominating one...

i'm wondering wether this species 'homo-moronis' is really harmless or wether it should be hunted to extinction.

oh and in case i haven't said it enough in the past, and to be equal-opportunitiy: i think your country probably sucks almost as much as the u.s. (unless you're in scandinavia, which is pretty hip) and you jews, muslims, etc can blow me just as much as the christians can.

it's time for this shit to stop. PLEASE, ALL CHRISTIANS, JEWS & MUSLIMS: THERE IS SOME HOLY-FUCK COMET APPROACHING AND YOU ALL NEED TO KILL YOURSELVES NOW!!! You'll get to screw your virgins, make out with young boys and whatever the jews like, too. Just do it!

So much for my politically correct sermon tonight. Later. B.

fy/fy is not dead. only in a coma

2008-04-22T21:57:00.002-07:00

while i have moved my regular anger blog to myspace i might restart the fuck you / fuck yeah section here soon. just too much fun reading through old posts.

Oh say can you see...

2006-02-15T11:16:00.000-08:00

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE
BY THE DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT
WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HAILED
AT THE TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING

WHOSE BROAD STRIPES AND BRIGHT STARS
THROUGH THE PERILOUS FIGHT
O'ER THE RAMPARTS WE WATCHED
WERE SO GALLANTLY STREAMING

AND THE ROCKETS' RED GLARE
THE BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR
GAVE PROOF THROUGH THE NIGHT
THAT OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE

OH SAY DOES THAT STAR SPANGLED
BANNER YET WAVE
O'ER THE LAND OF THE FREE
AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE?

fuck you, mohammed, etc.

2006-02-14T21:09:00.000-08:00

i know you have just been waiting for me to post it, so here it is:

Today's FUCK YOU goes to ...... THE PROPHET MOHAMMED (or whatever your favorite spelling is) and all of his followers!

but since i'm an equal-opportunity hater, i would also like to offer the following:

christians: blow me
jews: suck my cock
hindus: go fuck yourselves
shintos: fuck a duck
(insert your religion here): fuck you

and today's FUCK YEAH goes to:
un-named resistance fighter from nepal. what a photo.

2006-01-31T18:34:00.000-08:00

today's short headlines:

alito confirmed to the supreme court: oh shit! better not knock up your girlfriend now,
postal shooting in california: about time a postal worker reclaimed the title,
coretta scott king dead: good woman. hope death was swift.

and now: (drumroll)

FUCK YOU!

Samuel Alito: We're all fucked for the next 40 years or so...

FUCK YEAH!

Voltaire: Who said "Every man is guilty of the good he doesn't do.

sold out again

2005-12-19T06:27:00.000-08:00

Fuck You!

. The U.S. Congress, for selling out once again and allowing drilling in the ANWR in a late-night session. If only people here had the same balls the patriots had in the 1770s, they should all be scared for their lives in their posh mansions.

Fuck Yeah!

. Evo Morales. New president of Bolivia and first ever native american president! Add one more for Chavez's side. I'm sure the CIA is warming up their sniper rifles already.

FY-FY finally back

2005-12-16T12:00:00.000-08:00

Here it is. Finally back. You know you missed it, you hoopleheads.

FUCK YOU:

No one better to restart the FY-FY section than the Cocksucker-In-Chief himself. This time for spying on his own people without a warrant.

FUCK YEAH:

Al Shwearengen. Why? If you have to ask you're a HOOPLEHEAD!

Working Class Hero

2005-12-04T09:57:00.000-08:00

murdered 25 years ago. no less relevant. by far my favourite lennon song is not one you usually hear on the radio. here are the lyrics

Working Class Hero

by John Lennon

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and class less and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

bush's victory

2005-12-01T11:52:00.000-08:00

so yesterday president shrub said: "i will accept nothing but total victory".

hmmmmmm....

the last guy i remember who kept saying that had a funny little mustache.

so sorry

2005-10-28T19:15:00.000-07:00

the past two months have been very busy. been out of town for a good part of them for work.

now i'm back. with a vengeance.

was reading and thinking about 9/11 today. i know some things about this event that i won't discuss here. but one thing sticks in my mind:

more than 30,000 people DIE every year because greedy power plant corporations won't invest a tiny percentage of their immense profits into technology that would clean up their emissions. - result: our president and congress give them billions of dollars in give-aways to pad their already all-time high profits.

2,749 people died in the wtc attacks on 9/11. result: we illegally invade sovereign nations and slaughter well over 100,000 people, the vast majority of whom were perfectly innocent. of yeah, and throw in 2,000 mostly urban and rural lower class u.s. boys too with more than 20,000 gravely wounded.

i am getting so fucking tired of writing about how god damn stupid the american people are, but it doesn't go away. i'll stop now before i write something that i could be indicted for...

peace and welcome back.

f.u. - f.y. - to return next week

i'm back

2005-08-29T20:05:00.000-07:00

i'm back. ugly storm down on the gulf-coast. glad i don't live in hurricane country anymore. they still are my favorite kind of natural disaster though - at least you can run from them, unile tornados or earthquakes.

kind of tired so not much today. my 1983 mercedes 240d finally shipped today. really excited about getting it. i'm gonna run it on bio-diesel - a bio-diesel coop opened here just in time. with our other car being a PZEV (partial zero emissions vehicle) we're drivin pretty clean now. bio diesel up here is around $2.75 right now. i predict that by the end of the week that'll be cheaper than petrol-diesel! woot.

sometimes i feel like i'm the only one who actually likes the high gas prices. i really wished it would hit 5 or 6 bucks a gallon. maybe then people would stop driving those fucking stupid suv's and trucks. the wallet is one of the few places you can reach the dumb masses, so all power to it. (oh, and please don't tell me you need that suburban because you have 3 kids. i won't even get into that shit...)

anyway, it's been too long so here it is:

FUCK YOU!

pat robertson. if you need to know why, then you live on a different planet...

FUCK YEAH!

vin diesel. why? cause i like him and he'll kick your sorry ass if you don't.

on vacation

2005-08-25T07:33:00.000-07:00

back on monday...

stupidity revisited

2005-08-17T21:27:00.000-07:00

i give up! thought i'd get some light entertainment after attending a green-party meeting and a peace vigil tonight by pulling up the daily show on my tivo.

the new york times bestseller list #1 (nonfiction/advice) is "natural cures they don't want you to know about" by kevin trudeau, a used car salesman who also did time for credit card fraud,etc. the daily show showed an informercial featuring him and tammy fay baker. he says his book can cure any disease, including aids, cancer, alzheimers, etc. this is the NUMBER ONE nonfiction/advice books that americans are buying!!! HOW FUCKING STUPID CAN YOU PEOPLE BE????? was there a mass-lobotomy i missed?

and then there was 'justice sunday ii'. a bunch of scary ass jesus freaks, including some of the most senior politicians in the republican party praying for jesus-humping judges. i am now convinced that christians are the most scary of all major religions. i have always believed that anybody who believes in some 'overseeing deity' is at the very best severely intellectually impaired and maybe borderline retarded, but i can forgive that, especially if it's some kind of more spirtual rather that traditional religious belief. there might still be hope. but these freaks in that 'justice sunday' mega-broadcast are way, way beyond help. whether they actually believe this religious bullshit or, as i suspect with many of them, are just using it for financial or power-gain, they are so off the stupidity meter that it's completely hopeless.

so what's there to do? you got the mind-boggingly stupid masses, being exploited by the pretty damn stupid few, whose stupidity is only outdone by their greed and mean-ness.

there are only two ways i can see now, maybe i will think of more later: 1) invest everything in education, to avoid bringing up the next generation just as stupid as the last. not just any eductation will do, as the countless masses of complete idiots with MBAs shows.
2) separation: break the country into two very un-equal part: the vast majority of stupid, jesus-, abraham-, mohamed-, or barney-worshipping masses. not giving a fuck about the planet, the rights of other people and nations or even each other. and a small place for the few people who haven't been hit over the head with the stupid-stick. and that wouldn't fall along the lines of the red and blue states, as most democrats are just about as dumb and ignorant as the republicans...

realistic? probably not.

there's my not so cheerful blog for the day.

FUCK YOU!

dennis rader aka the btk killer. one of the sickest fucks i have ever heard of. not quite sure he's really human, neither is he. i am against the death-penalty, but if anyone ever deserved it, it's this guy. he won't get it though

FUCK YEAH!

frank zappa. was sharp and funny. musical genious, politician. unfortunately couldn't out-wit cancer.

what the fuck is wrong with npr???

2005-08-12T14:39:00.000-07:00

is it just me or is npr getting more and more right-wing? i know it's not that i'm getting more left wing - there is definitely something changing on npr. seems like all the guests now are from the heritage foundation, the hudson institute, etc. they are so fucking scared of being considered 'liberal' that they've completely swung the other way. now i'm just waiting for the 'the pat robertson hour' on npr or maybe rush is going to switch. pathetic!

their news hasn't been anything but an 'official mouth-piece' for the u.s. government for a long time, but now all the other shows are also turning into crap. on one of their science shows last week they had to give the disclaimer that scientists widely disagree about whether global warning is real or not. what the fuck? maybe next, they'll put a disclaimer on any story that references evolution, that maybe darwin was wrong and the christian god really created the universe.

there are still some decent shows on npr stations that didn't completely sell out yet, but of course in minnesota and wisconsin, they won't air those. too much controversy; and controversy is one of the lutheran/scandinavian/germanic northerner's greatest fears. hey, i mean who has time for intelligent discourse when there is so much gardening that has to be talked about. after all, our growing season is almost 5 weeks long up here!

i have to make one exception though and that is a local show here on our superior npr station, called the duke skorich show, which really is great. a while ago i wrote to both mpr and wpr and asked them to carry 'democracy now' (maybe the best news program out there, i.m.h.o.). while mpr just said they're trying to focus on locallly produced shows, wpr sent me this nasty letter back, saying they would never air that show, that it's too liberal and that they're trying to never be on any side of the issue, etc. give me a fucking break!

even their ads say how they always try to show both sides of the issue and invite their guest accordingly, etc. always both sides? do these numbnuts really think that every issue always has only two sides? they must live in a two dimensional world. talk about narrow-minded... but so many people seem to think that way. maybe most annoying are the people who think they are so independent and enlightened because they always assume that the truth must lie somewhere between what the republicans say and what the democrats say. i got news for you: our political system consists of 1 very right-wing party (democrats) and 1 ultra right-wing party (republicans). you might not be too successful looking for the truth between those two.

that reminds me of a great saying that's printed on the coffee cups of the chester creek cafe: "democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner" (maybe slightly mis-quoted). but it seems like the pursuit of objective truth is not on top of the list for most media outlets.

there's my sermon for the day! and now for the fun part:

FUCK YOU!

the 'reverent' jerry farwell. stupid, fat, bigot extraordinaire. said that the attacks on 9/11 were caused by "gays, lesbians, atheists, the ACLU, planned parenthood, americans for the separation of church and state and all non-christians". i'm a pretty pacifistic guy, but i'd really enjoy a half hour alone in a room with this asshole...

FUCK YEAH!

dan barker. president of the freedom from religion foundation. probably one of the smartest bunches of people i know. i'm always amazed by their 'freethought today' paper. doesn't care much for jerry farwell.

no time today. just FY/FY

2005-08-11T11:47:00.000-07:00

no time for blogging, just:

FUCK YOU!

h. lee scott jr. ceo of walmart, the evil empire.

FUCK YEAH!

jaime roldos aguilera. president of ecuador. another one in my long series of presidents whom the cia didn't like and then died in mysterious plane crashes.

my enemy's enemy

2005-08-10T11:25:00.000-07:00

time for some pseudo wisdoms that have been occupying my thoughts lately. one uncomfortable one is that my enemy's enemy isn't necessarily my friend. i come across that a lot as i think of candidates for my FUCK YEAH! section.

i had been thinking about fidel castro lately but i don't think i want to put him up. yes, i admire his revolutionary early years, i certainly admire how he is like a rock in this imperialistic world and 90 miles off the u.s. coast no less. i admire many of the great achievements in cuban society (that we never hear about in the u.s.) and how he stands up to all the lies spread about him (contrary to popular belief in the u.s., the majority of cubans actually DO like him). but on the other hand, i'm not sure i would want to be one of his subjects. so people can be a hero to you in one way, but not in another way. very grey; not black and white.

an easier example is saddam hussein. he is the sworn enemy of george bush and his corporate-military regime. do i think we were wrong to attack iraq? yes! would i rather see saddam still in power? yes! do i like to answer my own questions? yes! :)
but, that doesn't make him a friend of mine. the guy is a bona-fide asshole and a tyrrant. however in that part of the world that sometimes is the better choice. when all our murdering and pillaging is done over there, the government that finally emerges once the puppet-regime is gone, is going to make people wish for the days of saddam. so george bush is a murdering asshole and so is his enemy saddam.

is guess it's all a matter of degrees. take yassir arafat for example. i would still consider him a heroic figure, although in his final years he became much to stubborn and should have stepped aside. but sometimes the body of one's achievements can outrank early or eventual failings.

i was going to write about the difference between the middle ground between two opinions and actual truth but i think i'll postpone that until tomorrow.

finally, i'd like to ask you, my dear readers, for a favor. actually two favors.
#1: don't be shy about posting comments on my posts. i made it open for anyone, so you don't have to have a user name or anyhing.
#2: if you find my blog entertaining, let your friends know about it. i put a lot of work into it and it would be fun if someone actually read it.

the final business before the FYFY section today is a great definition for faith i stumbled across today. enjoy.

"Faith, n. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel." -- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary (1911)

FUCK YOU!

condoleeza "evil-bitch" rice, who said: "We need a common enemy to unite us." how very orwellian of her...

FUCK YEAH!

thomas jefferson, who said: "I swear eternal enmity against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

urgent update

2005-08-08T21:48:00.000-07:00

hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot!

it's mighty hot here. temperature in our appartment went up to 102 degrees today. el fuego! ay candela, candela... on a sad note, ibrahim ferrer died yesterday. one of the cult members of the buena vista social club. i'm such an ass. i had the chance to see them while they were all still alive but didn't. now more than half of them are dead.
at least i got to see miles davis before he died. i also had tickets to see astor piazolla when he called in sick for the gig. two weeks after that he was dead too. no luck. if i ever buy a ticket to your show, you better watch out. the grim reaper is near...

Chavez kicks out DEA, submariners safe, etc.

2005-08-08T07:27:00.000-07:00

man it's HOT! up here. in the arctic northlands we're not used to mid 80s (and we don't have air-conditioners). hot, hot, hot. and did i mention it's hot?

in the news today: the russian submariners that were trapped at the bottom of the ocean with their oxygen running out have been rescued. phew! i felt terrible for them. being a pacifist , i usually don't feel too bad for volunteer soldiers dying on duty but nobody deserves to die like that. npr had reported that two american robotic rescue subs were being flown in, but that absolutely everything had to go perfect in order for those subs to get there in time. good thing they didn't have to rely on the americans, because when they were finally rescued, the americans hadn't even left port yet. a british rescue team that left after the americans did, cut the sub free. really happy for those guys. the russians were funny too: as a gesture of thanks, they didn't charge the americans and british for refueling their planes or fly-over fees. lol.

at the other end of the world, hugo chavez again showed off his brass cajones (and probably shortened the time until his eventual, unfortunate "accident") by kicking out the united states drug enforcement agency, or dea for short, because they were spying on his governement. oh no: i'm shocked! not the dea... and since chavez realized that this whole 'war on drugs' contains about the same amnount of bullshit as the 'war on terrorism', he told them to get the fuck out of venezuela. here are some of his comments.

"The DEA was using the fight against drug trafficking as a mask, to support drug trafficking, to carry out intelligence in Venezuela against the government," Mr Chavez said.

"Under those circumstances we have decided to make a clean break with those accord," he added.

President Chavez also criticised the US policy on drugs for concentrating on the supply rather than the demand of drugs.

finally, in other news, peter jennings dead at 67 shows you again that cancer doesn't give a fuck how rich or famous you are. bad way to go...
nasa is going to keep us on the edge of our seats by delaying the return of the shuttle by another day.
oh yeah, and oil hit a new all time high of $63.- a barrel. peak oil, here we come.

and now for

FUCK YOU!

ariel sharon. also known as the butcher of sabra and chatila. the fact that the majority of his party is even worse than him doesn't make him any better.

FUCK YEAH!

cindy sheehan. mother of a us soldier killed in iraq. is camped outside of george bush's ranch in texas waiting until he will see her so she can ask him "why he killed her son, and what his 'honorable cause' is."

sorry for the brief interruption

2005-08-02T08:18:00.000-07:00

my back is killing me. but i wouldn't want to deprive you of:

FUCK YOU!

pope john paul the second. ex supreme-asshole of the catholic church. has murdered millions and condemmed countless masses to a life of misery by refusing to allow his followers birth control, abortion, etc... also a great champion of women's rights.

FUCK YEAH!

salvador allende - democratically elected leader of chile and very smart guy. henry kissinger didn't like him much, so he had the cia assasinate him and replace him with the tyrannical ultra-right-wing dictator augusto pinochet.

america you deserve it!

2005-07-29T18:26:00.000-07:00

once again the democrats have sold out and helped pass the energy bill in congress. it's a disaster. billions and billions to oil companies and millionairs / billionairs - the shaft up the ass for the environment and regular folks... it's maddening when you have grown up to hold reason and intelligence as the 'high principles' and you live in a society that has no use whatsover for either.

you think "well, i have reason on my side. not only are they screwing up the planet but 95%+ of the population of this country gets fucked too, so all i have to do is use my intelligence to reason with people that it doesn't make sense to vote for folks who will screw them and everybody else. but not here! reason must be one of those new-finagled liberal things you can't trust...

it's because (and yes, i reiterate from earlier posts) people are all so FUCKING DUMB! america, you deserve it! somebody should build a big wall around us so we can't fuck up the rest of the world.

and in the spirit of today's news, here is today's installment of:

FUCK YOU!

the democratic party. for being a bunch of spine-less, opportunistic cocksuckers who sell out to corporate america just like the republicans.

FUCK YEAH!

ralph nader. hero. probably saved more lives in his lifetime than all members of congress combined. much too intelligent to ever be elected to anything in a country that voted for arnold.

dr-cafta passed

2005-07-28T10:19:00.000-07:00

early this morning the house passed the dominican republic & central american free trade agreement, better known as CAFTA making this another very sad day in world history. 15 democrats broke ranks and voted for it too, adding insult to injury. i guess the public doesn't care much for world-changing political events, since i had to dig three layers deep on cnn.com to find it, whereas 'billboard's hottest summer songs' made the front page.

here is a primer for those of you not too familiar about CAFTA, taken from oxfam's stephanie weinberg's comments at a press-confrence.

...The regional trade agreement will require these developing countries to open their markets to dumping of US rice and other commodities and forbid use of adequate safeguards to ensure food and livelihood security and rural development. The agreement also blatantly ignores the fact that US farmers receive extensive subsidies and domestic supports, estimated to be around $24 billion this year alone. DR-CAFTA imposes strict new rules that extend the monopoly held by brand-name pharmaceuticals, which will limit generic competition and reduce access to affordable medicines in the future. The trade agreement also provides special rights and privileges to foreign investors that can create major new liabilities to governments and undermine efforts to protect public health, the environment, and workplace safety...

and now for toaday's installment of:

FUCK YOU!

henry kissinger. has to plan his travels carefully because so many countries have arrest warrants out for him. specializes in having democratically elected leaders assasinated. also loves plane crashes.

FUCK YEAH!

omar torrijos. president of panama 1968 - 1981. had the strange idea that panama was a sovereign country. was assasinated in 1981 by the cia, oh no wait: it was a plane crash...

cooler by the lake

2005-07-27T09:43:00.000-07:00

it's 68 degrees here in the northland. cool greetings to all you guys sweating in 100+ degrees. guess this is the one week a year where i can turn the table on the rest of country which always makes fun of our -30 F winters.

FUCK YOU!

the evil emperor himself: karl rove. you gotta give it to the guy: he's running the most powerful country on earth without ever getting one vote. most dangerous about him: as opposed to his puppet dubbayou, this guy is intelligent. intelligent and evil - dangerous combination!

FUCK YEAH!

the late senator paul wellstone. didn't like to sell out to corporate interests. didn't care much for war. died in a strange plane crash shortly before the 2002 election...

back in space

2005-07-26T19:08:00.000-07:00

watched the space-shuttle take off this morning. i think i was almost as excited and scared as the guys and gals inside. sure was beautiful to watch. and i think it's important we go back into space. broaden the horizons, do some science. in this society the going theme seems to be: "who needs science if you have jesus?" anyway it was great to watch and i hope they're having a great time up there and get back safely...

FUCK YOU!

senator rick santorum (r). homophobe extraordinaire, bigot, jesus-humper and probably gay himself...

FUCK YEAH!

gertrude stein. writer, poet, feminist, lesbian...

2005-07-24T20:04:00.000-07:00

FUCK YOU!

flush limbaugh. sieg heil!

FUCK YEAH!

amy goodman. has the balls to say it like it is...

sorry

2005-07-23T21:16:00.000-07:00

sorry. that's what the london police had to say when it turned out that the young man they shot to death on the subway was a perfectly innocent brazilian man who didn't speak english all that well... looks they they're learning from us.

FUCK YOU!

toby keith. wanna-be cowboy and spreader of anti-arab propaganda. general air-headed redneck!

FUCK YEAH!

willie nelson. the real deal. doesn't take shit. thinks.

more lovely headlines

2005-07-22T10:00:00.000-07:00

so today, london police shot a guy dead in the subway because he was scared of them and wouldn't stop. he wasn't armed, he didn't even have a bag. but here's the kicker: he supposedly wore a baggy jacket and who knows, there could have been a bomb in there. so now the standard for killing people is their dress-code. maybe we should all wear the same dress to avoid confusion. come to think of it, two guys named mao and adolf already tried that...

in new york the stormtroppers are now 'randomly' searching subway riders' bags. supposedly they search every 5th person's bag. i'd love to see what happens when #4 is an arabic looking guy with a long beard and #5 is a white man with a crew cut. remind me, what did timothy mcveigh look like again? hmm...

in other news, you should check out jehan's diary. it may turn out to be interesting.

i have decided to expand my fuck you! section and add a fuck yeah! section too.

FUCK YOU!

riley p. bechtel. ceo of the word's most evil corporation: bechtel. instrumental in getting billions of dollars in contracts from world bank loans, etc to countries who never see the money and then become our bitch!

FUCK YEAH!

hugo chavez. president of venezuela and general hero of poor and oppressed people. i give him 2 years max until the cia assasinates him (of course it'll be an unfortunate accident. they love plane crashes...)

breaking news. 2nd london bombing

2005-07-21T13:59:00.000-07:00

so..... just read cnn's latest masterpiece. the four separate bombs today all somehow failed to go off. sure they did. four separate bombs, four separate people, all happened to fail... uh huh.... i smell a large rodent here. mabe jesus made them fail, or allah or santa claus. or was it tony or george? hmmmmm.....

my NEW feature!

2005-07-21T10:46:00.000-07:00

not much news today. looks like some copycat morons tried to set of some amateur explosives in london. or was it done by someone else to inspire more fear in people? whatever it was. no big deal...

china is no longer pegging its currency to the dollar. that could cause some changes in the trade-deficit and consumer goods pricing. not a huge deal though. that brings me to a very interesting point though:
while far from a secret, not that many people seem to know that s.e. asia and especially china hold a huge chunk of our public debt in the form of gov. bonds, etc. if they decided some day to cash it in and get euro securities instead we'd be royally fucked! i mean the usa would more broke-ass than a guy in a single-wide on cinder blocks in alabama. very unlikely that'll happen though.

but now to my NEW feature. i am starting a new daily feature that i'm calling........ Fuck You! that's right. just a picture and description. that's all. you can use it to meditate on during your daily "two minutes hate".

and now the first installment:

FUCK YOU!

israeli settler feeling sorry for himself!

i'm old!

no politics today. (i can hear the distant cheers.) yes, bush nominated john roberts, a pawn of the corporations and jesus freaks, to the supreme court; yes roe vs. wade will be overturned and we're all fucked, but whom did you expect him to nominate? howard zinn?

last night i watched taxi driver for the first time in long time. what a great movie. i'm so glad my wife rented it, since i probably wouldn't have. i like 'everybody loves raymond', so it's kind of hard not to see 'wizard' (peter boyle) as 'frank'.

and man, did it make me feel old to see de niro a lot younger than i am now, 'frank' as a middle aged guy and not a grandpa. jodie foster was a pre-teen kid and sybill shepherd was just beyond hot!

if you haven't seen it for a while i highly recommend you rent it and watch it again. the new collector's edition dvd also has some great extras.

here's great quote:

"Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up."

ok, all this non-angry talk is making me woozy. tomorrow back to politics and anger. :)

25,000 civilians dead

2005-07-19T06:24:00.000-07:00

on the bbc today, a report was released that since the US led invasion of iraq 25,000 civilians have met a violent end! that's civilians only and this is a very conservative report. (reached by corellating caualty reports from at least two major english-speaking news sources). overall the iraqi death toll is estimated at well over 100,000.

those iraqis must sure be glad we came to 'rescue' them and bring them all this 'liberty' and 'freedom'. let's see: more than two years after the invasion, the coutry is in rubble, just about all civil rights are suspended, curfews everywhere, infrastructure functionality, such as power and water is at a tiny fraction of what it was in saddam's days, but the oil of course is flowing and haliburton, bechtel, etc are making billions. so add the 25,000 civilians that would otherwise be alive now and i can understand why they're not exactly standing on the street-corners waving american flags.

sure saddam was a tyrannical asshole, enriching himself off the people, but so are bush, cheney, rove and rumsfeld and i don't see thailand or some other country coming over to bring us freedom and regime-change.

the only thing to do is to get our troups out NOW, immediately remove all american and british engineering firms, oil companies, construction companies and all the others that are raping the country and start paying massive reparations to let the arab communities re-build the country.

what about the argument that if we leave they'll have civil war? well what the fuck do you call what they have now? the country is fucked and you can't "un-fuck" it. that's the sad truth. there is no alternative scenario in which all of iraq ends up looking like the connecticut country-side. by staying we can only fuck it up more.

i hope people don't get the idea that i am anti-american. on the contrary, i really love this country. empire-building and enriching the few through mass-murdering are not values that the american people hold. unfortunately they are the values that our current government and corporatocracy hold.

60 years ago

2005-07-18T14:55:00.000-07:00

60 years ago today, the first ever nuclear bomb was set off. not that much later we murdered an estimated 360,000 japanese in hiroshima and nagasaki.

some make the argument that the bombs also saved lives because they pretty much ended the war and the fighting. i'm sure there is some truth to that. but killing civilians by the hundreds of thousands can't be the answer. ever!

when i was a teenager in the 80s most people, at least in europe, were convinced that one day either the americans or the soviets woul 'loose it' and fire their missles, destroying the planet. thank 'god' that didn't happen.

of course now the danger is that america keeps pissing the rest of the world off until some country gets a hold of a few nukes and sends them over. maybe in the name of allah, or jesus, or moses, or ronald mc. donald.

it's amazing that the bush regime just asked congress for ungodly amounts of taxpayer cash to develop new nuclear weapons. maybe the ability to blow up the whole fucking planet 200 times over is not enough. i guess arms industry ceo's need to eat, too.

that does it for my daily dose of anger... :)

mommy didn't abort me!

ok, just in case I come across as too angry and whiny, here's the first installment of my humor section. enjoy :)

no-line meeting in superior

2005-07-14T16:13:00.000-07:00

saw government in action yesterday. i was at the superior county board meeting considering whether to negotiate with atc about the transmission line.

you don't need to really know anything about the issue, but here is the super-condensed version: evil power-corporation wants to build huge power-transmission line (with humongous towers) all the way through wisconsin. cutting a path of destruction through pristing forest, streams, etc. private folks who don't want to sell their land get it taken away from them by 'imminent domain'. all counties sell out to the power company, EXCEPT for douglass county. they said no. the line needs to cross public land and they won't allow it.
so what do the fucking state legislators do?? the pass a law (the montgommery bill) that allows a private company to SEIZE public land. what the fuck????? the level of corruptness has gone off the scale to the down-right absurd. and the kicker is, they can do it EVEN if the municipality wants to sell it.

so we went with protest signs. a lot of other people were there. every single one who spoke was completely against this process and appalled. one guy from the chamber of commerce came up to say he supported the thing because that's what his lobbyists had told him. i spoke last and said something like "there are obviously two very distinct sides here. the people of douglass county, who are 100% against this deal and ATC and the corporations on the other side. last time i checked, you guys were elected to represent the people."

got huge applause, and i thought after every single speaker from the public (discarding the clown from the chamber of commerce) was completely opposed, their representatives would vote in the people's interest...

and then the cocksuckers voted 14 - 10 against the people. it was a sad moment indeed. although i did enjoy speaking there.

oh well, the battle isn't over yet. NEXT

london bombed

2005-07-09T16:02:00.000-07:00

i can understand how people get mad enough to want to bomb the western world, but i whole-heartedly condem it. obviously the people who plan these things either have no idea how the western world works or they have their own power-grabbing agendas.

after all, nobody profits more from an attack like this than tony blair, george bush, etc. more fear in the public; more blank checks to feed the people's money to their corporate buddies, more excuses to trample civil rights...

the people in england, the us, etc only hate the perpetraters more. as far as their own followers are concerned, i would think that they don't need more insprirations from bombings.

and what about the people who died in the bombings? maybe some of them were the most peace-loving and constructive activists. indiscriminate violence is always wrong.

so, to the bombers: "go fuck yourselves. whatever point you're trying to make, you're just hurting with this."

complicit

2005-07-01T07:28:00.000-07:00

met some nice older folks last night. christians... oh well, i can forgive that for old folks. but then they started talking about their son in the air force and how much he enjoyed flying b1b bombers in iraq and afghanistan, and poor, poor him; now they made his unit fly different planes.

not 1 thought about the 100,000+ people we have murdered so far in iraq alone. not 1. just about the planes. and they were very amiable and nice folks. christians. go figure. guess by being a christian, you're used to swallowing BS all day long from childhood and trained not to ask questions. sometimes i forgett: "thou shalt not kill" of course only applies to unborn babies of welfare mothers, not black men on death-row and definitely not to muslims men, women and children our bombers and soldiers kill overseas. oh, those good christians...

complicit! that's what EVERYBODY is, who is not ACTIVLY trying to stop this madness. if you're not on the streets, writing letters, giving money, doing stuff then I got news for you: yes, there is a giant evil conspiracy. no, it's not just our government, they are just the executors of the conspiracy. the conspirators are.... (insert drumroll here) YOU! By not getting off your lazy or timid ass and making yourself heard, you are what's driving this imperialist system that poisons the environment, kills anyone who disagrees with them or their jesus, and enslaves the population of the earth, quite literally and/or mentally to enrich the few.

so please don't tell me how you are against the war and all, but you just don't have time to do something about it. i really don't give a fuck that you voted for kerry.

GUILTY! yes you. GUILTY!

do something or shut up and accept your place as 'their' bitch.
