Up-to-Date Bumper Stickers.

I can't decide whether the lady that drives this car is a raging dipshit or just seriously behind on her Fox News. Or possibly both. And there's always the possibility that she's just all retro-y, like the hipsters that populate East Nashville. After all, the two main stickers would seem to be all circa-2008-ish -- before Barack Obama was The President of the United States of America, and back when the Bush Administration all but nationalized the banking industry.

There's also the possibility that she should check out the Intrawebs. I've included a handy link, below.



PS: I saw this lady get out the car today. I swear to you -- Kathy Bates in "Misery."

PPS: Remember when even disagreeing with the President meant you were a Godless Traitor who hated America? Where does "refusing to acknowledge the sworn Commander in Chief" rank on that scale?

PPPS: Fuck George Bush.

Ah Yes: The Master Of The Video Conference.

Given Senator Bill Frist's... err... spotty record with videoconferencing, you'd think that he and his handlers would do everything possible to keep him away from webcams, at least in public. And in that, you would of course be mistaken.

The Vanderbilt University home page shows a rotating series of pictures and links about new and exciting things that are going on around the campus, everything from real-live researchers working to make the world a better place to stylish students absorbing the "Vanderbilt Atmosphere" (tm) to disgraced public figures who have jettisoned any medical credibility they ever had taking part in public relations events in an attempt to stay relevant.

Get Used To It.

Every day, nay, even more often, I read stupid shit from barely-evolved dipshits that makes my political convictions, particularly vis-a-vis the upcoming Presidential election, clearer and firmer. Like transparent aluminum. That's how firm and clear things are.

Naturally, I'll share more as we get closer, and all six of you will no doubt be swayed by my dazzling rhetoric, well-thought-out logic, and pretty pictures. Plus my vulgarity -- never underestimate the power of my vulgarity.

Why is Sarah Palin on the ticket? Because she's in favor of drilling anything that will stand still longer than 2 seconds, and because she's hot. End of story. Now, on to more substantive issues, John.

Got any? Didn't think so.

In Dick Morris' Defense... He *Is* A Dick.

Maybe my most favoritest Daily Show moment in memory. Sometimes, when the ducks line up just right... and they stand so very still... and you and your shotgun are so very close...

Awww, Jeez, Not Another One of the Good Guys...

Don't worry, it wasn't. Just another douchebag military strongman who hitched his wagon to wrongheaded U.S. policy at the expense of his own people and national security. (See also: Shah Reza Pahlavi, Augusto Pinochet, Ferdinand Marcos...) This one is actually stepping down while not being an international flight risk, and, in a truly bizarre twist of fate, we *might* not even grant him asylum. I know, the world's a funny place sometimes...

Now if we could get our own illegitimate military-backed whack-job to step down... or even do something about the illegitimate military-backed whack-job looking to take his place...

Okay, Pay Attention:

Look, I'm not saying that nothing you believe can be true, I'm just saying that the world is most assuredly not 6000 years old. And the layers of the Grand Canyon were not stocked with frickin' trilobites just to keep us guessing. The world is ancient, folks. Soak it all in.



PS: I'd like to make it clear that I'm not saying that Mark Buerhle believes in the 6000-year-old-earth theory. I'm just saying that he plays in a league where he doesn't have to bat for himself. And that's bullshit.

The First Honest Rationale For The War.

Thomas Friedman is shocked -- shocked -- to learn that America is not going to win Most Popular this year. Maybe he should go back and re-read some of his own words from 5 years ago, when he said that we had invaded Iraq after 9/11 because... well... who was going to stop us?

Oy. Ladies and gentleman -- the justification, straight from the horse's ass.

Dear Diary.

"Today I decided to prove that even total douchebags could hike on the Appalachian Trail. And put it all in writing."



What really pisses me off about this (other than the rampant stupidity, obnoxious behavior, and borderline illiteracy) is that Mom and I totally called dibs on the name "Team Shocker."

If you're into this sort of thing, there are lots of decidedly non-douchetastic photos from the trip here and here.

I'm off to Atlanta for the weekend. Might sent pix via PhoneCamera thingy. Might not. Cheers, and Happy 4th!

Something That Is Funny. And Stupid.

Here about the seemingly-benign "fist bump" which may have sinister terrorist undertones? Yeah, me neither. Probably because there's no such thing.



Ten bucks says Ol' George totally hit that.

Just Take The Rest Of The Year Off, Huh?

Kids, I'll be off with Mom to the woods all this coming week, so no top-notch hi-tech heirlook-quality entertainment for you and yours to share. Right, right, so what else is new. Ha. Beat you to it.

I'll be back and at least somewhat-active on June 16. Also, I'll try to send some pix from on the Appalachian Trail, Unicoi State Park, and Helen, Georgia, where we'll be passing our hours in peace and tranquility. And bikers.

Sadly, not everyone will just go away for the week -- I'll be facing bears and snakes, and you'll be left with Executive Douchebag. Your loss, kids.



PS: The remote postings will look a lot like this one -- only hopefully not sideways. You will, however, probably get a lot of Sprint-generated text. Consider that to be bonus material.

No, I'm Serious. Right In His Fucking Face.

Hey, everybody's entitled to an opinion. Some are grounded in reason, some in logic, some in empirical evidence. And some in blind, stupid, asinine, unwavering douchebaggery. Those are the kind that the good people of Pennsylvania put in the U. S. Senate, apparently.

Douchebag Spotted In The Wild

This was seen at Walgreen's the other day while I was waiting for my ride, errr, chillin' with my homies.

Yo.
