The Fault Belongs to Belgium

Monday, January 28th, 2008

And that is the story we are sticking too! Damn it all to hell.

Wait…oh yeah, some dude in a Helsinki hospital found a mouse head in his dinner. The hospital says that the man’s health was not affected by the rodent head, but that they had not found the rest of the mouse.

Bringing Belgium in now, the hospital stated that the head probably came from a bag of Belgian vegetables, and again, they cannot find the rest of the mouse. Could be anywhere in Europe, being that it is a Belgian mouse. Sneaky bastards.

EPA Looking Smarmy

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

I used to think that the EPA was a good thing, for America and for the planet. You know, a federal agency charged with the proper care of the environment. A bastion of educated, progressive minds within the normally stupefying ranks of government. What can I say; I have brief moments of insane optimism.

Recently California applied for a waiver to the Federal Clean Air Act, and was planning on using the waiver to force stricter emission laws in the state. This is a good thing. A very good thing and fifteen other states followed suit. And like California, fifteen other states were told to shut the fuck up by the EPA. So now the case has made its way to various courts and the like, as well as the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.

Stephen Johnson, EPA Chief Assclown defended his decision to gun down the application, and told the committee that he was, and is, under no pressure from the White House to defend the automotive industry. Uh huh. Wow, I’m convinced.

Among many bullshit reasons for denying the California request Johnson informed the Senate that ‘climate change’ posed no extraordinary risk to California. It gets better; this is how he described the problem of ‘climate change’:

“Not unique to and not exclusive to California. It’s a global problem requiring a global solution or, at least at a minimum, a national solution.”

Okay.

A global or a national solution you say…huh, so what would be wrong with enforcing the standards sought by the state of California on a national level? Why can’t we do that? Come on Stevie…please tell me that a man in your position has a better grade of bullshit than the watered down garbage you presented to the Senate committee. If you’re going to bullshit America do us the favor of making it worth our while. I mean, Americans love a good story…we really do, so next time wouldn’t you please put a little more effort into lying to us? Thanks, much appreciated.

Moving on.

As I said earlier, Johnson stated that the problems of climate change were NOT specific to California. But wait! Lo, a glow! What could it be? Ahhh yes…internal documentation citing that there are climate change effects HIGHLY SPECIFIC to California, including among other things, wildfires and species loss. Huh. Who’d a thunk it? Open mouth, insert foot. Good job Stevie.

I won’t bore you with a pile of facts dug up by the Senate committee. But before I depart, you should all know that this committee is chaired by democrats, and one idiot republishit. Senator James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma had inspired words of stupidity to present, and, with any luck, help the good people of Oklahoma vote his sorry ass out of office.

Inhofe questioned whether or not human activity was an important factor in global warming, and then, as if that last statement wasn’t enough, then he went on to dispute the FACT that there is a consensus among scientist that human activity is FUCKING the planet.

Good job Inhofe. I don’t know if anyone could have fucked that one up anymore. Well, maybe the Presidunce…pretty sure he can fuck anything up. It’s what he does.

No, human activity has nothing to do with the deterioration of the planet.  The blame can safely be laid on the millions of automobiles, spewing uncountable tons of carbon emissions, ruthlessly rampaging onward in their crusade to destroy the planet and its noble guardians. And we can’t forget the hundreds of thousands of factories, millions even, scattered about the planet, complicit allies of those evil automobiles. But I would be remiss if I didn’t mention those malignant fucking cattle emitting noxious farts with the sole intent of destroying our fragile and beloved planet.  Oh yeah, and we absolutely must include the millions of acres of rain forest that suddenly, and selfishly, fucking die overnight.  Oh, and I almost forgot that wicked Kyoto Protocol, if it weren’t for that nasty little piece of international accord the planet would be just fine.

You giant ass! Of course human activity has more or less EVERY-FUCKING-THING to do with climate change! Idiot. Go play in traffic and ponder your useless, ill-informed, retarded, right-wing fucktard thoughts right to the moment a Mack truck pulverizes your sorry ass.

It’s a Pakistani Shit Sandwich

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

I wonder how many hours of sleep Mushy loses each night as he lays awake dreaming up new ways to infuriate the United States. Is it a few hours, given the predisposition to being an uptight, fundamentalist, tyrant? Or is it many hours over the week given the fact that he appears to enjoy thwarting American efforts to efficiently run a war focused on hunting down extremist assholes? I just don’t know.

Perhaps old Mushy, inheritor to a dictatorship built on the blood of democracy, murderer of Bhutto, isn’t the one to blame for his inflammatory comments on U.S. demands. Maybe the Bush White House is busy with conspiratorial whispers, asking the Pakistani leader to deny further American intervention in the region, so that Bush can continue his war on terror. Who knows? I certainly don’t know anymore, not really certain if I ever did have any solid fucking clue as to how this war was actually working. But…I am certain of one thing, Musharraf is an asshole.

Again the Pakistani leader has denied a request to allow the CIA and the American military permission to operate on Pakistani soil, stating that any such incursion would be considered an invasion. Some of you will remember that recently Mushy also claimed that his forces were better suited to fighting insurgents and extremist fighters than NATO or the American military. Well, allow to me to clue everyone in on something about the Pakistani military, half of those fuckers are trained right here in the United States. Yeah, I remember quite vividly many a day running into them, and most of them aren’t half bad. Except when those pricks decided to ride their fucking bikes down the center of the street…and stay there, backing traffic up to the gates of hell. Assholes.

Getting off track though, moving on.

Well this week the CIA made a ‘secret’ trip to Pakistan, the top two ball busting clowns in the CIA even. I love how the secret trip is declared in the New York Times…makes me smile. The purpose of the trip was to gain the permission of the Pakistani government to allow the CIA to build forces in troubled regions. Now some of you out there are no doubt fans of recent history, and I assume you know that during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan the CIA was running massive operations out of Pakistan. Now, near twenty years later when the United States is busy fighting the same people we once supported the Pakistani government is telling us to fuck off.

Doesn’t make any goddamn sense if you ask me. Pakistan is fighting these fundamental cock suckers, with as they so love to claim, over 100,000 troops. They are receiving $10 billion in U.S. aid for the explicit purpose of tracking, combating and defeating Al Qaeda and the Taliban, as well as other extremist groups. He is receiving training for his military (in and out of Pakistan) at U.S. expense; he is receiving equipment and technical help…all from his good friends in Washington. So why is it they are denying further U.S. assistance?

Mushy claims that people on the fundamentalist side of the ball game are trying to cast him as Washington pawn…and that he cannot allow U.S. forces to operate in Pakistan because he fears a prodigious backlash from those that oppose him. News flash fuck face: the backlash has already begun you stupid fuck!

So, discounting the backlash he claims to fear, what reason is left for him to be such a giant pain in the ass?

As I said earlier, I don’t believe for a second that Mushy is acting alone in this matter. I think that he has been told by Washington to act like a complete asshole in the public forum. I think that perhaps our military and our intelligence service may already be operating in limited capacity within Pakistani borders, with the permission of Mushy.  I think the Dubious Duo of Bushy and Mushy have reached a secret accord allowing U.S. intervention on the ground, while maintaining a baffling front of public denial.

Then again, what would I know about the secret dealings of governments long known to be in bed with each other?

Another Brando Down

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

What the fuck is with people dying off relatively young these days?

Christian Brando, the eldest son of Marlon Brando, is now dead of pneumonia, at the grand old age of 49. What the fuck?

Anyway, looks a lot like his father.

Senate is Pissed at Bushy

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Though it remains to be seen whether or not our Democratic Congress will actually be able to do anything about the unthinking prick in the White House; maybe they will go against their track record. But as the nation has seen time and again our elected officials have more or less given the White House everything and anything it has demanded. Tell me again why we voted the Democratic majority in? I keep forgetting as they haven’t done jack shit for us.

Anyway, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a statement Friday which is direct opposition to what Bush wants to do in Iraq. Reid doesn’t believe that the Presidunce should be allowed to force policy in Iraq without consulting the Congress. And Reid is absolutely correct in that belief. Question is, will he stand by his conviction and force Bush into doing something, you know, legally for once?

At any rate, I’ll not hold my breath as to the result of the Iraq question. I fully expect Bush to ram a Status of Forces Agreement down the throats of both Congress and Iraq. However, if I am wrong, then I will happily admit it.

How often do you see this?

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

A helicopter crashed onto a freeway near Los Angeles last night.

You see this kind of crap in movies, not in real life. Authorities speculate that the helicopter was homemade. Again, you see this shit in movies, not in real life.

But at least the death toll was low, just the pilot of the helicopter. Amazing. But I mean really, a homemade helicopter…who does that?

This Guy is an Asshole

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

A Spanish man named Tomas Delgado hit and killed a bicyclist in 2004. The cyclist was a 17 year old boy, riding at night without reflective gear. Delgado, according to police reports, was driving at ‘excessive speed’, which a judge ruled probably contributed to the accident. Delgado was ordered to pay €33,000 to the boy’s family. Fair enough.

Now, four years later, it is Delgado who is seeking money. He is demanding $29,300 from the boy’s family for damages to his Audi A8.

Now, I hate idiots. I really despise them. Every time I turn around I seem to run into another idiot, usual an even bigger idiot. Cyclists can be some of the biggest and most aggravating idiots around. And before you go getting all pissy with me and accuse me of being insensitive, I use to do A LOT of cycling, and I pride myself in the fact that I was never an irritating asshole!

That said, this kid was being an idiot that night. You just don’t ride, walk, or run at night without some sort of safety gear. You just don’t fucking do it. Still, his death is regrettable and I do feel for the remainder of his family. Additionally, were I the driver who killed this kid, I’d feel perfectly wretched. I damn sure wouldn’t think about suing the family who has lost a son at age 17.

So, Tomas Delgado, you are an asshole. And by the way, you’re sullying my name. So either stop acting like a dick or change your fucking name. Ass.

Karzai the Puppet

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

It is a sad sight to see the leader of a nation, no matter how poor, war torn, and forgotten, to admit that he is a puppet of another government. Very sad indeed, something you really don’t care to witness.

Keep in mind that President Karzai did not overtly state that he is a puppet of the United States. But he did say that the American government had done great things for his country of Afghanistan, and that he and his people are grateful. Now, not being in the country I cannot vouch for the people’s approval of U.S. action. Perhaps they are, perhaps they aren’t.

Yet Karzai also stated that the war in Afghanistan has been poorly managed, that efforts needed a great deal more focus. He also pointed out that the threat of terrorism has grown, not only in his nation, but in neighboring nations. Karzai continued on with his speech to more or less slam Pakistan and its leader, Musharraf. I liked that part, a lot. I hate Mushy, I really do. Just about as worthless, ineffective and greedy as our own President; not a fucking wonder they are great buddies.

At any rate, Karzai stated that he would shoulder the insults of the world because the U.S. had helped Afghanistan. Unfortunately I think history is lost on Karzai. The last time Americans interfered with Afghani matters was when we decided to stymie the Soviet invasion. While we did aid the Afghani fighters with money and arms, we also left them high and dry once the Soviet threat was ended. I sincerely hope that U.S. policy makers have learned that the abandonment of our ‘allies’ leads to terrible and tragic events later on history. But what I believe and what hope for are two different things entirely.

Well, enough for now. Should you wish to read the full article regarding Karzai and his speech, here it is. Out.

Negotiations my Ass

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

I wrote this morning regarding the upcoming contract battle for maintaining the war in Iraq, as the original mandate for a doomed war is set to expire at the end of the year. In that suddenly premature article I said that White House was attempting to keep intact its broad authority for war fighting. Seems I was incorrect. I hate it when that happens.

What is really happening (and I should have thought about this, God knows I normally do) is that our fearless leaders are speaking in whispers to Iraq, demanding that the Iraqi government allows us to sustain our war fighting authorities. They apparently have dispensed completely with negotiations and have instead resorted to bold faced demands and thinly veiled threats.

So, congratulations to which ever of you fucktards who manages to claw your way into the White House come November. You have one hell of a first term to deal with; national health care plans, the guttering economy, rising crime rates, international contempt, and my favorite, the long since lost war in Iraq. Have fun.

More Iraq War Demands

Friday, January 25th, 2008

From our favorite person to despise, the Boy King himself and his pathetic goons in the administration. I love it when these pricks try to explain away their nefarious goals with bureaucratic bullshit. It’s never really worked, and it’s working even less these days. But still they try; I guess they want to appear as ‘determined’.

The international mandate for the Iraq war will expire at the end of this year, and since our fucktard of a President isn’t done ruining OUR nation with his private war; he is seeking to renew the contract with Iraq. However, he is running into a rather prickly problem; Iraq is tired of having America playing in their backyard. More importantly, Iraqis are tired of a mounting civilian death toll.

The agreement the White House is hoping to reach will be much the same as it is now. Immunity for private contractors (I’ll bet the Iraqis are already grabbing a fucking pen with that demand), some immunities for the members of our Armed Forces, the ability to detain prisoners and most important, the ability to wage war anywhere and everywhere. Gotta love it.

Bush wants a ‘status of forces’ agreement, an affair which does not require Congressional approval. Not surprising though, Bush has routinely circumvented the Congress in order to obtain what he wants, no matter how damaging his self-centered desires are to our nation, our military, our economy, and the world at large. Naturally the Congress of the United States is unhappy about this.

Any sort of treaty reached without Congressional approval more or less leaves the Bush White House to do as it pleases. This means that the Boy King could establish permanent bases inside Iraq, though they say they are not planning to do that. One must wonder though, if they truly aren’t ready to set up Fort We’re Fucked, Baghdad, then why haven’t they drawn up an exit strategy? Just a question to ponder.

What is of greater importance though is that should Bush succeed in forcing through any agreement reached outside of Congress, he is pledging U.S. support for years to come, whether or not the American people want to support Iraq. In other words, what this asshole in the White House does in the next year regarding Iraq will be a huge fucking problem for the next president.

Well, here is your link to the latest round of stunning stupidity and I am out.
