The "You Lie" Scandal
OK, now i voted for the guy, but seriously all this crap surrounding someone calling obama a liar is re-goddamn-diculous. of course he's a liar, all politicians are liars! they lie to get office, they lie to stay in office, and the only time it seems they can tell the truth is when they're getting a six figure deal writing their fucking memoirs!
and i know calling out a politician in the middle of speech is kinda of like heckeling a stand-up comedian. but at least obama didnt go the route of michael richards by calling Rep. Joe Wilson (R...big fucking suprise) a cracker. but earlier in the very same speech, he was saying how it's now impossible for there to be "civil" conversation in politics due to the conservative climate over the last eight years. yet when wilson voiced his opinion, every damn liberal in the room starting calling for blood.
i mean sure he voiced his opinion in a poor way, but give the guy a break, he was only exercising his first amendment right you know...i'm pretty sure they havent outlawed freedom of speech yet.
And the media just takes this story and runs with it, panning this out to be this most disreputable act in the history of American Politics. its not even close! Congressman Prescott Brooks (SC) beat Senator Charles Sumner (MA) to within an inch of his life in 1856 and you media swine bitch about a nasty comment thrown the President's way? It doesnt matter how mean and ill-placed the comment was, all that matters is how the president reacted, which was not at all!
He paused then finished his speech, so before people start screaming censure of a duly elected politician for exercising a right that we all enjoy, let's all calm the fuck down and let them do their jobs.
then maybe something will get done fucking right in this country...but i doubt it.
now if you'll excuse me i need to slip into a coma for i have work in 3 1/2 hours
till next time......

Healthcare rant...OMG!
Socialized healthcare.
Now before you liberal and conservatives start frothing at the mouths about your respective policies and how they are superior to that of your opponent's, let's actually take a look a the problem itself.
Socialized- now in the mind of American born within the last...oh...say 60 years? They hear "socialized" and think what? COMMUNISM!!! The Red Menace has come back full force to entice us with "free" healthcare which will totally destroy the American way of life!
No. Not even.It's true that in these trying economic times, socialized health care seems like a bad idea to peddle considering how much capital would need to be generated in order to make it work.
Now the three most prominent arguments i've heard are as follows:
"Why shouldn't we have FREE healthcare?"
"Why should government take control of the health industry?"
"Why should i pay for someone else's well-being?"
Now, my answers!
1. It's not free, socialized health care would tax the shit out of the American taxpayer. You don't get something by paying for nothing. But it's either paying private healthcare, who can flat-out deny you an life-saving operation based on having a pre-existing condition or government health-care which will impose restrictions on certain things. Pick whichever makes more sense.
2. Because, the government's job is the betterment of the society to which they represent. Private-run healthcare is a business, and if you don't have the cash? Sucks to be you, then. It's in their best interests to keep the citizens happy and healthy.
3. This is simple, why should i help my fellow man? Um, having a little humanity? I'm sick to death of people pissing and moaning about "Why should i take care of other people?" That attitude is why society has gone to hell in this country.
You should because it's the right thing to do.
Healthcare should be a guaranteed right to every human being regardless of monetary standing, if that means I've got to foot the bill every now and again? So be it. My conscience will be clear.
Now I'm off to get a check-up with an oral hygienist if you know what i mean....giggety.
Till next time....

Back from the dead....searching for brains.
MMMRRRAAWWWAAAAHHHH...........
Nah i'm just fucking with you,
It's been a weird couple of months for me and so i apologize for not updating twice a week as previously promised to my reader.
That being said, a person asked me, "Why write a blog if no one will read it?" The answer was simple enough. "I don't care if someone reads it or not, posting my thoughts were strictly for my gratification, not anybody else's." That is still true to today, i don't care if people ever read this.
I do this because most people never speak there minds for reasons like acceptance, recently i found that pretending to be someone you're not will only lead to trouble down the road. So i've come back to the blogging to blast every motherfucker whose pissed me off in a two month period.
Why might you ask?
Because I can, and until they break that right, i'll abuse it for as long as i can.
Now if you'll excuse me, i've got a date with cold pizza and vitamin water.
Until tomorrow, dear reader......

You know, for the longest time I've been led to believe that monetary gain is the most important thing that one can gain. Love, trust, power and glory all can bought or sold for the almighty Dollar (or Euro, if you're looking for a more solid currency.) But, doesn't it seem strange to be sacrificing your life away for pieces of paper whose worth fluctuate on the whim of global markets? This week's rant might not be long but it has a profound point, I'm tired of letting money run my life.
From now on what i do will be for the enjoyment of my life not for the gain of monetary funds.
Now if you'll excuse me, i need to clear out my life savings to buy a tricked-out van
Till next time............

Film.
OK, now my last post said that i was going to write two more rants about what's wrong with society (i.e. Government, politics, economy, etc.) But at this point? I'm so fed up with having to explain to people the minute details of it all that i've come up with a pithy newspaper style headline. "The world's fucked, who's to blame? You."
There. All comments saying i'm skipping over certain topics for reasons of boredom can taken back and shoved squarly up your ass. Now, the reason for such a aggravated tone this evening is I just got back from the movies. Tonight's viewing? Star Trek. Before you ask, no, i'm not going to piss and moan about Star Trek. It was because of Star Trek placating my rage that the theater in town is still standing.
What drove me to blind, incandescent rage were amongst the previews were two trailers that truly defined the word "suck." Those were G.I. Joe and Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.
Now before certain people get in defensive mode about these bastardized 80's re-hashes, let me clarify my point.
One, i don't hate reinventions of series, in fact i would be a hypocrite if that were the case since the movie i went to see was a re-invention of a 60's era television show. What i do hate is when the core elements of what made those series great are thrown out the windows and replaced with vile attempts at merchandising and Meghan Fox's ass (though the former pisses me off much more than the latter.)
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is another in a long series of movies in which nothing happens but explosions and badly written humor. If movies like this were a capital offensive? Michael Bay would have gotten the chair 20 times over, because that all he ever makes. EVER! No originality ever, in fact he was more worried about how much he'd be making off the marketing tie-ins with Microsoft, Chevrolet, Mountain Dew etc, etc. as they all played roles in this sacrilige to 80's cartoons.
Another death-row inmate would be the guy responsible for G.I. Joe, who i will be refering to as Michael Bay No. 2, beacuse after watching both trailers I couldn't see too much of a discernable difference in either film. Both have ridiculous amounts of explosions, both have property damages that would make New Orleans post-Katrina look like Disneyland. I'm not even joking when i say that both films have robots in them, except one has sentient robots and the other has Special Forces soldiers in robotic suits of armor. They both even have that sickening habit of having star talent playing the lead roles, except both films suffer the quirk of having stars that hurt the film rather than help, case in point, the bastard son of Indiana Jones (Shia Labeouf) and token tough-guy black sidekick (Marlon Wayans, wait, what?)
The point is when you're going to make properties in order to capture new audiences, don't leave them in hands of people who are looking to make money. Because they will always screw up, when i first heard about the re-invention of Star Trek, i admit that i thought they would screw up. But i saw the trailer and began to come around, then when i finally saw the movie and saw how the explained it, i was dazzled. It showed that certain directors will still take the time and effort to make the story enjoyable, not just placate to our base needs of tits and explosions.
Now if you'll excuse me, i've got some writing to do, i'm going to write my own re-inventing of a property, Red Dwarf.
Till next time....
