Absurd selections from the GOP platform

August 31st, 2004

“Many Democrats, however, believe the government has a right to claim the money earned by working Americans.” Yeah, Republicans think the government has a right to tax working Americans, too. You’re just haggling about the price, you nitwits. And about who pays: the GOP thinks the middle class should pay the most, the Democrats think [...]


Most Republicans are stupid

August 31st, 2004

I’ve come to a conclusion, long forestalled in deference to my optimistic nature (stop laughing). But I’ve firmly reached this end to my thinking, and it is this: If you’re a Republican and you’re not rich, you’re a fucking idiot. You’re not well-meaning, you’re not principled, you’re a tool, and a stupid tool at that. [...]


More reason to hate Rupert Murdoch

August 29th, 2004

He’s now using porn to support Bush & Blair’s war. The Page 3 girls in his pathetic tabloid, The Sun, are expressing laughably attributed sentiments of support for the Iraq war. If you had any doubts about the lengths to which Murdoch will stoop to help forward his agenda, which I hope you didn’t have, [...]

Reiner, a good friend of mine who lives in Sweden these days, took this picture after going on a hiking trip up in the arctic circle. On their way back, they took a boat across a lake into a little town, where a guy in this tiny little shack was selling reindeer burgers. It’s clear [...]

“How will he meet his god having slaughtered so many men and women?” — Ahmed Manajid, Iraqi olympic athlete, about President Bush, who has attempted to cash in on the Iraqi soccer team and their presence at the Olympic Games. They want none of it.

Strangely accurate, sorry to say… Which OS are You?


Some ranting…

August 15th, 2004

– I have never been able to really stand the saccharine homilies written to serve her dark overlords, but Peggy Noonan earns another note of contempt by having “retard” in her vocabulary as a descriptor for folks she holds in contempt. But this article is so wonderful for its weasel nature: she’s already justifying Bush’s [...]


Consumer Report – foofbags

August 14th, 2004

Folks that own a powerbook or ibook may not know it, but they want a foofbag. Made in Ireland by foof, business managed by dirtymouse, they’re simple, soulful sleeves for your laptop. They’re also making foofpod cases, now, too.

My fear about the election

August 13th, 2004

That essentially, Kerry is Dean, Bush is Kerry, and November is Iowa. Kerry is the guy you flirt with, the guy that folks think they might like, but Bush is seen as the Safe Bet, the one to actually go with. I don’t want to get into why I think a favorable opinion of Bush [...]
