I love this version of this song.

Prop 8

Hey kids, sorry I've neglected you. Daddy's been busy in the real world, doing real things. In the meantime, Prop 8 has been overturned in Schwarzenegger’s Kully-For-Nea. For those of you who aren't familiar, Prop 8 put into legal terms the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman. Apparently, big proponents of this measure are the Roman Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus and the Mormons, big surprise. Here's the thing, if there is one place a person should be careful of serving 2 masters, its church. Don't you think? How can one Sunday be all about loving your neighbor, doing good deeds, love the sinner, hate the sin, turn the other cheek, etc; in the same breath as marriage between two consenting adults is only to be for a man and a woman? How did this craziness make it into legislature? I get...I guess, how religious people get all up in arms about gay marriage, but they need to stay the hell out of government. Separation of Church and State isn't optional. Let your personal beliefs be your moral barometer, sure, but to actually impact the lives of others with your beliefs when the topic of conversation doesn't really concern you, is just plain, flat out wrong. I'm a man. I will never have a baby inside of my body. Therefore, it's my personal belief that no matter what I think of abortion, right or wrong, it's not my place to say. I have no business weighing in on either side. Do I have a say in what Tampons my wife uses? Should I? That has nothing to do with me and furthermore I don't want to be involved. That's how pro Prop 8'ers should see this issue. Don't recognize the marriage in your church or religion, that's totally cool with me; but DO NOT make it impossible for people who love each other to get the benefits reserved for heterosexual couples. That's not right. When legislative bodies get together to discuss legislating, the first question should be "Does this infringe on anyone's civil rights?" If so, it should be off the table. Civil Rights are one thing all people are entitled to. To violate them because of personal beliefs is not only wrong, but shameful. It's funny the Catholics would have an opinion on the subject; you would think they'd be more involved with curbing their sects appetite for little boys before casting stones. Why did the Mormons feel the need to ship trucks full of money to California from Salt Lake City? Hey Jesus Astronauts, mind your own damn business! You can marry an unlimited amount of women to one man and your going to cast disparaging comments on a committed couple who want just a fraction of what you allow, (and the Govt, doesn't recognize) shame on you.

Why wont you people let Steve Buscemi and Ted Nugent be happy? What did they ever do to you?

Nintendo Freddy and Michael Bay

Alright, so I was pondering stupidity and its place in the survival of the species, when it dawned on me; Why is Nightmare on Elm Street (2010). being produced by Michael Bay? There are no car chases (hopefully), there shouldn’t be a ton of explosions, the sex, though gratuitous in these movies, is instantly replaced by the lesson that pre-marital fornication will get you fingered by the razor handed one; none of this adds up.
One might say, “Well, just because he’s producing it, doesn’t mean he’s directing It.” and though you are correct, why do you think directors, produce? In order to enlighten/in this case poison other generations of directors. It’s ok when, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo Del Toro or Peter Jackson produces things because they have a style but they don’t let people in on their secrets. Even if they did, no one can get inside of their heads to rip them off; there is no formula. Michael Bay on the other hand, is all formula. Which is why Transformers does so well, it was a tailor made franchise for Bay. He gets to play with big toys and blow shit up; that’s all MB does, he’s known for blowing shit up. So, why does he need: Texas Chainsaw (Abercrombie & Fitch, commercial) Massacre, Friday (survivalist camp) the 13th and now my favorite child hood nightmare maker A Nightmare on Elm Street? Plus, how come we get 2 awesome Halloweens from Rob Zombie and now we have to suffer Michael Bay’s ego? Dudes…come on! Both directors (of all 3 movies) are music video directors. Shenanigans!
I mean, I’m going to see it and all…let me once again throw my support to the Human Centipede, a movie I haven’t seen, for gross out future of horror status. I can’t wait to see this vomit inducing gem. If you can’t scare their pants off, get ‘em a puke bucket, that’s what I say.

:::UPDATE::::

I know you were holding your breath, but Bouncing Souls ARE still around:

That's the cover of their new record, in case your interested.

Sorry, so sloppy...

Hi. I know, I havent been around lately. We've missed the tea bagger rally on tax day (can't really say I missed it.) with this crazy person:

The Human centipede has an actual trailer.

And, in celebration of things that are awesome, Nike made these shoes:

Michael Bay, made the new movie with the guy who was in Bad News Bears then did a decent job playing Rorschach. I mean, he was good and all, but Freddy Krueger is an icon, man. Robert Englund, is a classically trained actor for gods sake!

On a different note, been feeling nostalgic for shittier times. Why? Dunno, maybe because I didn't know any better. In any case, my playlist for the day is: OP IVY, Stiff Little Fingers and:

Viva, Bouncing Souls...are those guys even still around?

Hypocrisy 101

 

Oh yeah, remember that? No? Well, here are some things Ol' Rushie poo has had to say in the past about drug abusers:

These tough sentencing laws were instituted for a reason. The American people, including liberals, demanded them. Don't you remember the crack cocaine epidemic? Crack babies and out-of-control murder rates? Liberal judges giving the bad guys slaps on the wrist? Finally we got tough, and the crime rate has been falling ever since, so what's wrong?

--RushLimbaugh.com (8/18/03)

In the audio link below, I go into detail about these non-thinking talking points that "you can't tell people what to do with their bodies" and "you can't legislate morality." First of all, we tell people what they can do to their bodies all the time--no cocaine, no prostitution, no throwing yourself off a building. Second, laws are nothing but defining morality!

--RushLimbaugh.com (6/27/03)

All right. Joe Fernandez came to New York from Miami, ladies and gentlemen, to be schools chancellor.... Now he is embattled--he's got a book that just came out, an autobiography that's soon to come out, I think, in which he admits that he was a mainliner as a teen-ager. This guy [pretends to stick needle in arm]--pfsst--shot up heroin. And people are praising him. He overcame the scourge. He triumphed over that profound obstacle in his life and has gone on to become this great schools chancellor.... [Plays a clip of Fernandez saying that the message of his teenage drug use is "to not give up on our kids."]

Reach out and try to help them, not give up on the kids, give them condoms and teach them about a bunch of stuff that is worthless in terms of preparing them for their future as adults in the greatest country on Earth, teaching them all this social gobbledygook. "Let's not forget about the kids."...  

Whoa. The guy wants to be education secretary, folks. Watch out. Now why does he want to go to Washington? Probably because he's studied the case of Marion Barry. Here's a guy who got involved in drugs. You want to see my Marion Barry impersonation? Do you want to see that? All right. I'll do the Marion Barry impersonation.  

You put some stuff out here on the table and you go [pretends to snort cocaine]. "You tell Jesse to stay out of my town. This is my town, and Jesse--you tell him to stay out. [More snorting.] And I said no, no, no, no, I don't smoke it no more. Tired of ending up on the floor." [More snorting.]  

So what is he? He gets involved in drugs and ends up, ladies and gentlemen, as a newly elected official in Washington, D.C....  So I'm sure Joe Fernandez is looking down there saying, "Hey, there's a future for, you know, drug users in Washington, D.C."

--Rush Limbaugh TV show (12/8/92)

When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks.

--Rush Limbaugh radio show (quoted in the L.A. Times, 8/20/95)

And, on April 28th 2006 Rush turned himself in to the authorities on a charge of committing fraud to obtain prescription drugs. Look, A person's problems are their own, unless they're calling everyone else in the room out for the same thing. That's a tightrope walk that no one can ever win. Yet, there is no new found Hubris in Rush, he still shoots steam into people's ears every day and they lap it up. Why? Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, but when people are LYING to you, how can you trust them, their judgment and ability to make rational decisions. Make up your own mind, you really don't need Rush to do that for you. Unfortunately, when you make such a big deal about things, you do and your called on it, "I'm Sorry" is not sufficient.

P.s. Rush Limbaugh is NOT a satirist. He is an American radio host, conservative political commentator, and an influential opinion leader in the conservative movement in the United States...and a Retard.

P.p.s Family Guy, IS satire.

Oh yeah, then there's this guy.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart	Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c
Rage Within the Machine - Progressivism
www.thedailyshow.com
Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Health Care Crisis

Come on Glenn Beck...really? What the hell does that mean? Do you know what words mean?
How come John Stewart can completely evicerate the talking heads, but you never hear them come back with a good rebuttal?



Tucker Carlson and Paul Begalia got more then they bargained for in that clip and this clip in particular may be the reason The Daily Show has become the fact checker du jour for the extreme right wing. No one else is doing it, no one else is calling people on their shit and even Huffinton Post puts up links to, The Daily Show.

Then this:

 

Huh?

What?

Alright, look to use the socialism/communist/marxist argument is moot on all accounts, because we already socialize alot of things. Like John Stewart so eloquently pointed out to GB Libraries are socialized, roads, schools, police, firefighters, garbage men etc.

And then there's this:

Proof that Tripp Palin Johnston, Sarah Palin's grandson, is a recipient of socialized health care. I guess the Death Panels don't apply to him, right?

Don't be stupid, willfully ignorant or naive. Politicians are here to sell us their ideas and themselves. They are showmen these days acting out for the amusement and money of the masses. They don't need to be the reason WE can't have civil discourse. Ideas should be the reason...my ideas, your ideas, our ideas. None of us has to agree, but to disagree with a person who has their own ideas about the world, is much more rewarding then debating someone else's, somewhat skewed idea of the world. That makes it all second hand information, and we all know what happens when we play telephone, the message gets lost in translation.

  

That's more like it.

No, please...do tell.

Don’t ask, don’t tell has outlived its relevance. It was necessary at some point in order to allow proud Gay Americans to serve their country. What have they gotten in return; Equal civil rights? Respect from their peers? No, none of that has happened. So, why would they push to be openly gay in the military, when they haven’t been afforded the basic civil rights that EVERYONE else has in civilian life i.e. the right to get married. It wasn’t that long ago that mixed race couples were considered taboo. It wasn’t even that long ago that black people were considered second class citizens. When are we as a Nation and a people going to learn that switching the noun doesn’t make discrimination ok? That’s really all this is, switching one whipping post for another.
300 is a movie that we can all get behind right? If you’re an action fan, it has that. If you’re a history buff, it’s mostly accurate. If you like comic books, it’s a near perfect representation of the graphic novel. If you’re into six packs and pecks…there you go. Forget the fact that this story is about one of the most badass armies to ever grace the planet. Guess what, the real Spartans encouraged homosexuality among the ranks of their warriors. Their reasoning was that sex would strengthen the bond between soldiers, friends and lovers. This would make them nearly unstoppable on the battlefield for the duration of their existence. They fell only after being defeated by the Athenian navy. Athenians realized they would NEVER beat the Spartan infantry and Sparta had a shitty navy.
So, I say all gay people should boycott the military. I understand the call to arms is a fierce one for those that would serve, and I’m certainly not stepping up to take your place. However, no one should be asked or should volunteer to lay down their lives in defense of a country or people who stay willfully ignorant to their cause. That’s bullshit.
This guy is full of shit:
