Contracting Fortunes

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Blackwater mercs

In the past four years the State Department has increased the amount of federal dollars spent on private contractors, from one billion (still an absurd amount) to nearly four billion dollars (a truly absurd amount). However, the increase in money spent regardless, the State Department has not added new officials (or to my knowledge, guidelines) to govern contractor activity. Government auditors and outside experts are now telling the American public what they should have known all along, the State Department’s policies are resulting in cost overruns, poor performance, and violence that as most of you should know, has gone unpunished.

Give me a break, and while you’re at it, shut your trap.

John Cloud, like so many other people, went a little crazy at Dumbdledore being gay. He wasn’t upset that the old man was gay, no he is pissed off because, and I quote, “You are not quite the role model I’d hoped for as a gay man.”

Why is that? Is it because as a character in a FICTIONAL book, the author chose to make his sexuality nugatory? Could it be that in the end, at the end of the fucking day, a person’s sexual choice isn’t very important? No, couldn’t be that. No, here in America it seems that we all have to wear our sexuality on our sleeves. Courtesy of people like you John Cloud, you asshole.

You go on in your article to say that it is nice to have someone that is gay play a major role in the sci-fi world. Aww, did you feel left out of The Lord of The Rings? Wait, no, you pick on that series as well. According to you, all those ‘tender’ moments between Sam and Frodo were indicative of them being gay. Wow. I had no idea that FRIENDSHIP meant you were queer. You’re an asshole, for the second time. A British author wrote the series, like Harry Potter. A world, which you’re obviously unaware of, is far and apart from America, and it’s not just an ocean separating us. Tolkien was writing about a world set in the middle Ages, and from your snide remarks, you know jack and shit about the Middle Ages. Women are lacking in the Lord of the Rings, as you pointed out. News flash shit for brains, women, like it or not, didn’t play a very important role in Dark Ages Europe. That is fact, irrefutable, hard fucking fact. And as to Sam having thirteen children, and having something to prove, according to you at least, THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANY FUCKING CONDOMS THEN!!!!! Prick.

You keep picking though in you’re poorly thought out article.

A Shitkicking in Miami

Pats win

You all remember the last presidential election right, the one where everything came down to the Senior Citizen state? The one where the count was all fucked up…yea, that one. Well I have held the firm opinion that Florida and its inhabitants have been in sore need of a remedial mathematics lesson since that time. Finally, yesterday, 21 Oct 2007 the New England Patriots gave them that lesson. 49-28!!!!! I love it!
Brady cut the secondary to ribbons for the length of the game, throwing for SIX touchdowns, five of those in the first half! The man set a new team record against the winless Dolphins, though they seemed to back off in the second half. Maybe they felt sorry for them, I don’t know.
The best part of the game, at least for me, was the lack of fans in the stadium after half time. By game end, the stadium was damn near empty. So to New England, congratulations on another win and keep it up. To Miami, just throw in the towel, your season was over before it began.
By the way, to all of you who live in Florida, are you going to argue the count before the Supreme Court on this one? You pricks.

TSA unable to find ‘fake bombs’

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I love it when the TSA screws up royally, and I really love it when they screw up so bad that the press finds out about it. Though I must say, I am more than slightly perplexed as to why the idiots running the TSA would announce their own failings (which are many) to the public. Normally their faults are announced courtesy of some asshole threatening an old woman with jail time because she has knitting needles. Well, let’s get on with it.
Apparently, our friends in the TSA have been conducting tests at some major airports, beginning in late 2005 and ending in the fall of 2006. They decided to send plainclothes investigators through security, all of our would be terrorists loaded with weapons, fake bombs, you know, the fun stuff in life. They ran these tests in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago.
Just in case you wanted another reason to feel safe and sound here in America, here you are: LA allowed an unimpressive 75% of the bombs and so forth through security. Chicago trailed, coming in second on the list, allowing 60% through, and the sourdough capital of the nation charged ahead to victory with only 20% of the fake weapons allowed through security. Maybe those soft-spoken drama queens in San Francisco know something about terrorism that our straitlaced, uptight TSA officers don’t.
As a result our fine guardians in the TSA have announced that are conducting similar tests everyday, in every airport, at every lane. And of course, they won’t be releasing the results of this continuous tests. I guess they believe we will feel suitable shielded against those nasty, evil, ever threatening terrorists if we don’t know how inept these pricks are.
But hey, the TSA IS consistently successful at disarming little old ladies of those lethal knitting needles. Oh, at they are damn regular in harassing women who have a couple of bottles for their infants. I guess that formula (or god forbid, breast milk) is a dire and persistent threat to our continued safety. Who’d have thunk it? So, my fellow Americans, you may now rest easy knowing that the TSA is ‘on top’ of things in our airports. We can’t bring a bottle of water through security because Dasani is, without a doubt, a weapon of mass destruction. However, we can bring a pound of two of C4 through, because, well, what damage could that ever do to anyone?
Later days all…back soon.

This is funny…

Kill our kids!!!

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Kill our kids!

Well, that is not how the Republithugs termed it, but it is what they are trying to do. Or so it would seem to the average person. At any rate our politicians, spineless fucking dems and greedy fucking republishits managed to allow the Shrub to veto the bill-governing children’s health care. The vote fell thirteen short of the two-thirds majority to overturn the veto. So now countless children, one such child being my daughter, are left without adequate healthcare, or in some cases, no healthcare. Thank you Republican Party! Its just what I wanted for Christmas and I even got it early!
Nothing like a box of fresh, steaming shit wrapped in red, white and blue to brighten your day.
Republicans are apparently worried that this program is a ‘stepping stone’ to government run health care (this is bad how?) and that immigrants and higher income families would take advantage of this program. Immigration issues aside, a child does not deserve to suffer for the actions of their parents. So if the seven-year-old child of a Mexican immigrant needs health care, FUCKING GIVE IT TO HIM! Assholes. But wait, I forgot, this program needs money, lots of money (for many reasons, but I think if the pharmaceutical companies were put in their place healthcare cost would decrease), money we don’t have because we’re spending it on a war we don’t need to be in.
So I guess the dems have decided that they will focus on stopping this needless expenditure in the sandbox and try to get us out of the- What? They failed on that front too? Son of a bitch…what the fuck good are these shitheads!?
You will have to excuse me…I require alcohol now.

Dumbshit of the Week Award (DWA): Rush Limpdick!!!

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Rush Limpdick: DOWA

Let me get this straight, the Landmark Legal Foundation nominated Rush Limbaugh for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. According to the organizations president, Mark R. Levin, Limbaugh was nominated for his “nearly two decades of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin. These are the only real cornerstones of just and lasting peace throughout the world.” The what now? Are we talking about the same Rush Limbaugh here? Because the Rush Limpdick I know is nothing like the above description.
The Rush I know is a bigoted, close-minded, asinine, fat fucking troll who has done more to damage the aforementioned qualities in his nearly twenty years of driveling. Though how he has so many listeners and so many stations around the world I will never know, maybe people like a laugh or perhaps humanity just likes punishment. At any rate, Flaccid Rush is the winner of this week’s “Dumbshit of the Week” award. Congratulations Fatty, you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, but you did win this shiny little button declaring you the most vocal asshole the week has seen. Well done, you insufferable ass. Let us look at your “tireless efforts”, shall we?

Romney Running At The Mouth

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Well our fine Republithug Presidential hopefuls are busy running their mouths again, as if that is any surprise. Anyway, this time it is Romney bashing the United Nations, in particular, the Human Rights Council, saying, “We should withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council.” Good call Romney, and I’ve no doubt you have a MUCH better solution to the problem of global human rights violations. I wonder what it could be…

You would support the formation of a new coalition of global powers and free nations to handle human rights violations? Wow, what an open-minded person you are! Who, I wonder, would lead this new organization into a brighter future? Interesting, nothing in your statements suggests a leader or any sort, which would lead people like me to believe that you don’t have any idea about whom would provide this service, or that you wish the United States to provide leadership. Neat, but you have a couple of problems there.

First, the United States doesn’t even have a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council, because we are busy boycotting it (and not paying our dues). That makes it difficult to withdraw our membership. Second, saying that United Nations has been “an extraordinary failure of late,” does not work so well. You cannot call someone, or an organization, a failure because they refuse to go along with our silly, bullheaded, and greed-driven ideas. So, fuck you.

However, it seems that you have found common ground with at least one of your Republiturd friends, John McCain. McCain also threw poorly chosen words at the U.N. Our flip-flopping presidential hopeful even went one-step further, stating that if elected he would create a new league to evade the U.N. Security Council. There’s a good idea John, not that we need to bypass the Security Council with any legitimate act as we already ignore the Security Council with regularity.

So to both John McCain and Mitt Romney I say, go to hell! Neither of you can make up your mind about domestic issues, say, abortion, stem-cell research or even something as simple as a national health plan. Yet the two of you have the gall to lambast other nations across the globe for failing in their own missions. Unbe-fucking-lievable. Wait, here is an idea. Why don’t the both of you hole up in Salt Lake City and fuck each other silly while espousing the values of the religious right! That might be fun and it might allow the both of you to lighten the fuck up.

Well, that’s all I have for now. If anyone is interested in viewing the original story about these two fucktards, you can find it here.

How to shit on the Constitution, guest speakers AT&T and Verizon

Monday, October 1st, 2007

This is great, you pay for service (phone, DSL, whatever) and then you go to use it one day, and BAM! No service. Check it out:

“AT&T may immediately terminate or suspend all or a portion of your Service, any Member ID, electronic mail address, IP address, Universal Resource Locator or domain name used by you, without notice, for conduct that AT&T believes … tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries.”

Verizon is even better, if you write a blog, or criticize Ma Bell, or Verizon, they can fire you…assuming you work for them. I love it when big, powerful corporations take Constitutional law into their hands. Not to mention their own skewed interpretation of the Constitution. The best part though, is that even though you are paying for the service (shitty as it might be) you cannot exercise your rights without threat of reprisal.

Don’t you love where the nation is heading?
