More Fox "News" mumbo jumbo

Its quite possible I'm politically psychic. That or I have an IQ over 100.

Be concerned. Here we have an organization that claims to be a legitimate news outlet that millions of people watch, nay, depend on for information- that manifests as nothing more than a rumor mill. Fox "News" is nothing more than an arm for the conservative right wing agenda.

Normally, one would be better to simply take the high road and murder Rupert Murdoch. Oops! I mean just ignore the base-less, unfounded, ignorant bile the right wing offers. Unfortunately we have a lot on the line (so to speak, if you count the welfare of humanity) due to the looming presidential primaries. Due to the nature of gossip, and the relatively common practice of Americans being COMPLETELY uninformed, action is being taken to put down this so-called "News" station.

Please inform yourself. (Fox) News Hounds is a fantastic place to start, since you don't actually have to sully your soul with the O'Reily (yah really?) factor. For a (more) admittedly biased counter- spin site, check out FAIR-.

STEP NUMBER 2- For fucks sake, bitch. Bitch to your family, friends, the fucking government, sign the petitions that will only take 1.5 minutes. It takes longer to wipe my ass. There are people THAT YOU KNOW who still believe Barack is a terrorist because he went to a Muslim elementary school. Enlighten them.

One last Rant. Hilary does NOT need to apologize. We were all lied to. Its fantastic that others feel compelled to do so, yay for them. Instead of dwelling on the little things (like campaign funding and "clean" candidates) perhaps we should start making some decisions. Its unacceptable to be talking about a bill of rights for airline passengers while veterans of this war are literally rotting away in under-funded VA hospitals.

Thank you for your time. Now write to the people in power about the war. Or the free press.

Your Constitution being raped whilst you sleep

No Vote. No press. Not even the eyes of CSPAN are watching as the president infringes on posse comitatus - a federal law of the United States intended to prohibit Federal troops from supervising elections in former Confederate states. It generally prohibits Federal military personnel and units of the United States National Guard under Federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. Not any more. The old Bushy slipped us a constitutional mickey. Now he can Declare martial law whenever he sees fits. And you know how great his judgement is! I posted the article from the New York Times on my Myspace blog- its too big to place here, and you have to be a member to read it.

Obama is in town and boy- is he kicking all kinds of ass. I was privileged to see him speak this week and he blew my mind. He is daring, truthful and unafraid. I will be fighting to support him as our next president, as I think Hillary is just second best.

Mkay kids. Sorry I haven't updated lately. Had some dental work done and was in agony. I'll be more punctual about spewing all over the internets.

Hug the planet Assholes

The machine has been spinning its wheels since I was in primary school. Admittedly raised in a wildly liberal California, I was aware of the deterioration of the planet - caused by humans- from a very young age. As children we were warned of the consequences of pollution, holes in the ozone layer, global warming and the misogynistic/ christian kill em' all cause that's what they are here for mentality.

It appears to me that (20 years later) the cognizant public is starting to get it.

I watch a considerable amount of television these days, all of it news. (the evolving zeitgeist that I mention in my last post has made for some great new programing). From bbc world news, to Link and google current, I feel as though I have a pretty good idea of what kind of info the general populace is getting and/or interested in. We wont talk about my cspan addiction.

Every day. Every single day, there are reports about global warming. On every network... even cspan. Everyone is talking about it, which leads me to believe that everyone is concerned about it. As well they should be.

The environmental messiah has been nominated for the Nobel peace fucking prize. No shit. His ground breaking movie, An Inconvenient Truth, is being trumpeted as the cause for the general awareness that I have blissfully fell upon. In the news this week, Im sure you saw, more than once, the IPCC's report confirming that humans are responsible for global warming. It took a panel of geeky types to reiterate what Ive known since primary school, and 20 fucking years. Here I go again with the I told you so's.

In a nut shell, if you keep driving that SUV in oblivious chosen ignorance, your stupidity WILL cause the death of millions of people. YOUR planet will change so drastically, it will not sustain human life as we know it.

Funny evil story- I'm in the city of angels last night. An accident occurred on the freeway. Normally, this would concern me. Is everyone okay? Have the officials been called? Alas, I noticed what vehicles were involved. My heart stood sill, in joyous rapture, as I noticed an SUV had collided with a particularly hideous truck (with one of those fancy lift kits ha ha ha). Both monstrosities had crumbled with the impact. As I slowly drove by heckling and hoping that all of the passengers had died or been seriously injured, I remembered I wasn't alone. My friend requested that I never stop being so EVIL. It makes his tummy warm.
