The man has a point. Anytime I see a circus clown in their full get up I think “That clown is just asking for it.”
Blaming the victim‘s clothes, and by extension, the victim for his/her own victim-hood is a little like saying Geraldo’s face was responsible for that chair that broke his nose all those years ago. O.K. maybe he’s right.
Attacked by skinhead white supremacists, eh? How times have changed. Now he works for Fox News.
That bandage makes him look like such a criminal.
When discussing health care and the economy Monday in Moline, Ill., the former senator said, “I don’t care what the unemployment rate’s going to be. It doesn’t matter to me. My campaign doesn’t hinge on unemployment rates and growth rates. There’s something more foundational that’s going on here.”
What Dick Fecalmatter was trying to say is…
“The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.”
Matthew 26:11 New International Version (©1984)
He’s trying to say his campaign is above such concerns. Concerns of the poor. Of the poor themselves. Like Jesus is alleged to have said, then alternate to the spirit of the bible verse, died for. If you didn’t recognize it, Santorum’s quote was from the New American Ass Ache Politicians Bible, Jingoist edition. The very one every politician pulls out of their ass when they need that extra bit of extreme & nasty mean spirited-ness.
One thing that gets lost from the original translation is that we will soon be without him. We will soon be without Santorum. Whether in the primaries or the general election, we will be without him. It could not happen soon enough.
God I wish I’d thought of this first.
Have you heard? Besides being an incompetent president /Evil Genius communist terrorist Obama is a time traveler. The story was broken by Sean Hannity & the Beloved Saintly Mrs. Sarah Palin via the dead Andrew Breitbart about Obama’s other evil deeds. I’ll let Mrs Palin explain what he’s done this time.
That’s right. Obama from 1991 is, or was, bringing racism back from “the days BEFORE the Civil Wars.”
Setting aside the fact that people are still divided by income if not skin color, Mrs Palin could not be more right. Mr Evil Genius Obama 1991 used a Harvard built time machine, went back in time, messed some stuff up and is trying to complete the job in the year 2012! As the most incompetent President who is also an evil genius, he has set himself up for failure as he is about to become a slave. The genius part is all the jobs slavery will create! Lose / win situation for Obama, really but who cares! Sarah Palin is right. If you are a minority you will have a job. Funny how this has all worked out because going back in time is exactly what the GOP has tried to do for years: Create jobs & oppress minorities. Win/win for Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity & the GOP!
It’s important to note that Obama’s time traveling exploits were first uncovered by Rep Paul Broun Jr. of Georgia who uncovered Obama’s secret plot in turning non-time traveling President Franklin Roosevelt into a commie.
It is unknown if FDR had any superpowers.
President Obama in mid time shift
There is an ancient American method of president zombification that’s been lost to us over the years. According to legend, George Washington’s family had the option of using it on him when he died but they declined.
It’s a good thing for George. First thing that’d have happen was that he’d be whisked off & water boarded until we got to the bottom of that cherry tree thing. He violated his father’s private property rights, you know. George’s Dad could not be a free citizen with out his fucking tree.
But this is an election year, so there will be lots of unholy incantations over whatever dead president du jour did, didn’t do or would have wanted. And all of their talk conjures something worse than any zombie could ever be, corrupting the living instead of the dead. At least we can take out a zombie with a shotgun full of fun. We’ve got to tolerate the rest. But it is 2012. The way things are going we’ll probably get both.
And for those who don’t get the title reference. Historic: Here. Pop culture trope: Here.
During an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Gingrich suggested the president could send federal law enforcement authorities to arrest judges who make controversial rulings in order to compel them to justify their decisions before congressional hearings.
Yes we probably have some activist judges across the political spectrum. But arresting judges doesn’t solve the problem. It’s a little like arresting the stupid, you know. Sure we think it’s a great idea but it is utterly impractical, impossible. And, you know, stupid. So, you know, Newt might want to review this a bit. Because after statements like that he’s Public Enemy #1. Demonstrating bad judgement & stupidity.
Maybe he’ll learn just how difficult it is to be someone’s wife in stupid jail? Especially compared to how he treated all three of his, that is.
Helmet hair or helmet head, Newt Gingrich has a Great American God Complex.
Arizona Gun Club Offers Photos of Santa & ‘His Machine Guns’
I was hoping my Christmas wouldn’t end with an open can o’ on sale Black Thanksgiving whoop azz on unsuspecting shoppers. Now I look forward to ending Santa’s reign of terror when that mother grabber goes after Grandma with his reindeer. That Rudolph is a commie with his red nose & all.
And I still say “Christmas” not “Holiday” like a good gun totin’ Christian-American Walmart greeter.
Better to frighten my children by posing them on the lap of some creep in a polyester bunny suit than delivering them to a room full of creeps in their Sunday best. Whereas creepiness is concerned, polyester is always involved.
Otherwise please meet with family. Enjoy your time with them if possible. Eat a ham or something. Jesus would be pleased by that.
With sincerity, please have a good day. Happy Easter from madmonq’s joint.
P.S. I actually scared myself a little creating this post. Sincerely.
Some months ago I found myself awake in the middle of the night with two tiny people I barely knew and who barely knew me, trusting me with their night feeding. As they were newborns they didn’t even know from choice and I obviously didn’t know what I had gotten myself into. Bleary eyed and exhausted, sleepless in the dark and the night will always play tricks on you. Given considerable responsibilites and live long changes you find yourself in, you don’t think you will ever get over the shock of it: Bringing 2 new people into the world. It seems like the dumbest thing you’ve ever done and now you’ve got to deal with it.
I am watching “Imagine:John Lennon“, a documentary made in 1988, 8 years after his death. The short film for the song “Strawberry Fields Forever” comes on and I find myself removed from the babies. I’ve heard the song a million times, but the dark, the night, the strange context I’ve found myself in make it sound new again. I’m lost in it.
The song was made during one of the groups’ transitional periods. The Beatles were still better known at that time as a four-headed monster with the same hair cut, a boy band basically, maturing and eventually becoming (and I say this with no exaggeration) multicultural multigenerational pop culture superstars. Gods, if that sort of thing is to be believed and one doesn’t look too closely.
Such is the documentary. A close look at a fallen idol, warts and all. Because of the context, because of the late hour, because of the thousands of lost hours of sleep, and lost sleep to still to come, I am very susceptible to the subject and subject matter. I feel very vulnerable about me, my marriage, the children, my place in the world that I cannot help but yet again feel related to this fairly flawed fairly trouble multimillionaire British pop star. He is human after all. Later, after the Beatles, he makes a point of highlighting how much we all, after all are human, boring and extraordinary at the same time. Sitting up surrounded by two proto-people, in the dark and very alone with my thoughts, I know what he means.
This is my son
This is my daughter
This is my wife
This video is more about the song lyrics here than it is about the images, obviously.
You should know that when ”Double Fantasy” was released 30 years ago after the death of John Lennon it wasn’t very well received. It’s not that it was bad, it just wasn’t as good as some of his earlier work. What’s remarkable about it is that he is happily singing about middle aged family life. It’s not boring but fun. His trademark honesty is apparent even if the subject matter isn’t interesting to anyone but me I suppose. I think people were expecting fire and brimstone music and lyrics. What they got was, in many ways, an average guy who was very happy with his life at the time. I think I know how he felt.
I cannot help but feel quite ordinary & quite extraordinary. You should too. There’s not much more that we can do about it but choose to be happy. Not stupid but happy. Reasoning, choice and compassion are the center of all human power. Reason. Difficult to use wisely. Chosing happiness is the easy one. Living it is another thing. I’m still working on it, I’m just glad to know that choosing a bit of optimism was justified for once.
No need to be alone.
Happy Christmas, Easter, Kwanza, um Hanukkah & anything else you need to get you through the night. It’s alright. Just don’t be a jerk about it.
