Way to Go, America!

30-Mar-06

A little something I whipped up, inspired by a Supreme Court Justice deciding to flip someone off in a church:

And that’s not even mentioning the “major league asshole” bit from the 2000 campaign.

“A frequent aphorism among comic book fans, known as the Bucky Clause, is that ‘No one in comics stays dead except Bucky, Jason Todd, and Uncle Ben.’”
“With Bucky’s return in the pages of Captain America Vol. 5, #6 (June 2005) and Jason Todd also returning, this saying has been sarcastically amended, (notwithstanding Peter Parker’s Uncle [...]

Morgan Stevenson: the World’s First Time Traveler?

26-Mar-06

A book about an enormous British passenger liner, which, deemed to be unsinkable, carries insufficient lifeboats that, on a voyage in the month of April, hits an iceberg and sinks in the North Atlantic.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. It’s about the Titanic.
No, Morgan Stevenson wrote a book called Futility, or the Wreck of [...]

“Bush said that he did not consider himself bound to tell Congress how the Patriot Act powers were being used.”
“[H]e could withhold the information if he decided that disclosure would ‘impair foreign relations, national security, the deliberative process of the executive, or the performance of the executive’s constitutional duties.’”

A Farm Kid’s Letter Home, from San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Training

25-Mar-06

Dear Ma and Pa:
I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before maybe all of the places are filled. I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly [...]

Samuel L. Jackson: “I Want These Motherfucking Snakes Off the Motherfucking Plane, Motherfuckin’ Motherfuckers!”

25-Mar-06

Heh:
In any event, “Snakes”-ophiles already were hard at work. Chris Rohan of Bethesda, Md., created an elaborate, R-rated audio trailer that lovingly mocks the title and movie. “It’s a genius title,” Rohan said. “It’s so stupid it’s great. It invites satire, but it’s something you just love. It’s something I can’t explain. You either get [...]

Chef

25-Mar-06

I find it interesting that the blogosphere’s been requoting only the one line in Kyle’s farewell speech to Chef about Scientology being a “fruity little club.” The entire speech is actually kinda sweet:
A lot of us don’t agree with the choices Chef has made in the last few days. Some of us feel [...]

Absolutely Amazing Gore Family Video

25-Mar-06

I’m devastated, watching this:

I see this, and I only think … why. Why the hell. Why would America choose an insane drunkard coke-abusing born-again unthinking uncompassionate poser chimp over this guy?!
And, moreover, why the fuck did this remain unaired? Why was this never used? This shows such an amazingly human [...]

Never Mind If You Live, We’d Like Your Money, Please

23-Mar-06

I’m amazed at a recent legal response from the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America.
The United States Copyright Office is currently in a period where they are determining what situations allow exemptions from the overly restrictive Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), one of the most fascist, corporate-friendly pieces of [...]

Tully Satre, My Hat’s Off to You

22-Mar-06

Man, my hat is very much off to Tully Satre, who had the sheer big brass cojones to go to a town hall meeting in heavily conservative Virginia country and ask the Senator the following question:
I first want to thank you for being here. I really appreciate when our elected officials are so willing [...]
