Worst thing on the internet
I found the new goatse today, in the same way one usually finds things of that nature. If any of you survived the horror that was goatse, you know what I'm talking about. I'm not going to tell you where it is, or even link to it. I will suggest that you don't ever look at it, as it's one of those things you cannot unsee... Like swap.avi (probably the worst of them all, I couldn't even make it through all the screen shots, and you SHOULD NOT TRY), the "eel video", or shake that bear. Seriously, for your own sanity, just don't. I made it to about the 5 second mark, and bailed.
If you don't believe me, you can watch other peoples reaction to it here. Seriously, don't watch it though.
I'm not kidding at all. DO NOT WATCH.

If...
as that lying sack of shit claims, our real goal is to spread democracy and freedom to the rest of the world (no really, the WMD's were just a fake pretext), here is some SERIOUSLY fucking low hanging fruit. C'mon, how long would it take our armed forces to completely dominate Burma? We could send 1/2 the Oregon National Guard over there and they would be done in time to fly home for dinner. We could remove tyranny and fear, and replace it with self determination and hope, in about 2 weeks. Shame they don't have any oil, and that they haven't been important to the u.s. in 60 years or so.
First, it's yet more evidence that Bush and his ilk are liars. Next, how long is it gonna take before we start seeing that for what we spend in criminal, unjust, unwarranted bullshit we could easily create a world free of illiteracy and hunger... and still have billions and billions left over for space exploration and medicine? Wouldn't it be cool if everyone had access to knowledge, everyone had enough to eat every day, and people (bear in mind, these are people just like you and I.... People who love other folks and have other folks love them) didn't have to die from disease just because they were poor?
I really, really don't get it. The choice between killing a people or teaching them to read, feeding them, and trading culture with them seems as plain as this question... Do you want to have friend or do you want to have enemies? Yeah, there's always an asshole or two that doesn't understand anything but a bullet to the head, but by FAR most of us are all the same. We all want to hang out, drink some beers, love our family and friends, and have some fun. Why can't we focus on the 99%? instead of the 1%?
As I've said, as has history has shown, there are two ways to win the type of war we've created for ourselves. 1) You kill everyone who isn't you... man, woman, and child. You erase them from the Earth. In the short term, this works very well. 2) You intermix the cultures. You take from your enemy the things they do better than you, and you allow them to do the same. You trade with them. You mate with them. You worship with them. You farm with them. Basically, you join them and allow them to join you. The cost? Your culture adapts and evolves. It looses parts of itself and gain new parts. The benefit? It lasts and grows stronger, even if it sacrifices it's own identity and becomes part of "humanity". Ask the Greeks, or the Romans, or the Mongols, or the Vikings, or the "Barbarian tribes". Yeah, it hasn't proven all the successful for the native folks of the world, but that's another post.
The problem, as I see it, as that we cannot do the first, we're unwilling to do the second, and we don't have a third option. 1+1+1 = failure.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you....
The next president of the United States. Why not? In keeping with the standard set by by the current occupant he is both batshit insane and has a very limited command of the English language.

Is there still anyone...
who doesn't think this retarded dipshit isn't insane? Quote: "'I heard somebody say, Where's Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas,' Bush, who has a reputation for verbal faux pas, said in a press conference in Washington on Thursday."
Well I tell ya' Amerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrica, it's gotta be saddamn's fault. I tell ya' it's the tearwrists!!!!
Thanks once again to the Midwest and the fundies for making us the laughing stock of the planet.
Seriously, how are Nelson Mandela and Saddam Hussein related at all, even a little bit?! Lemme guess, the fabled weapons of mass destruction (remember those? I do) are in South Africa? And how is it that the pretender in chief isn't aware that Nelson Mandela is alive and kicking?
I just wish he, and his voters, would die already. I have room in my heart and mind for intelligent conservatives and their opinions, but this is ridiculous. I say let's bring back Zyklon B and gas the stupid.

A random thought about the next election
OK, so we're all thinking people and we realize that dumbuya is what he is. I'd like to think that half of the country was duped, though in reality I'm certain there are just that many stupid people. Regardless, I'm certain the next vote most of us make will be largely influenced by how un-bush the candidate is.
So, just for a second, let's consider things from the point of view of the Bush voters. In essence, they did the same thing. In much the same way that many of us see a world of lies, stupidity, greed, and brutality, they saw a world of immorality, assaults on their faith, a lack of courage, and soft communism. Therefore, they voted for anything that got them as far away from that as they could.
Here's my problem, and something that has me kind of worried. It seems to me the American political process is rapidly gravitating towards a state where nothing and no one real is represented. Essentially, it's all one or two flavors of demagogy. Everyone is shouting what we want to hear so loudly that we can't hear ourselves think over then din. If we could, we would realize that no one is addressing the subjects that really matter. Things like hunger, justice, access to health care, education, the (and it's probably too late on this one) environment, etc.
So basically, this leaves us in a position where one of two things will happen, or perhaps two of two given enough time. People will either wake up and realize that the system is broken and change via revolution of some sort, or we will continue to be distracted by bread and circuses.
Both ideas are frightening. Change is almost always unpleasant, at least in the short term. On the other hand, willfully ignoring the fact that your ship is sinking is terrifying. I guess we're all doing that in the long term, but if we decide to do it as a culture, then what's the point?
Anyway, I don't have a solution. I'm just bummed when I think how f**ked we are.
"More for Gore or the son of a drug lord
None, of the above
Fuck it, cut the cord"

Not so much a blog entry
But a reminder to me that I need to buy this to replace the Tamron I broke. Fux0r.

F**k yeah!
Yes, war is dumb and I hate it. However, the military industrial complex does occasionally come up with some really cool shit. Example, Thermobaric bombs. So nukes are bad? K, let's just make a freakin' giant conventional bombs. Now I don't care for the idea of dropping on on humans (which I will admit is what it's made for) but could you imagine this: Sitting with a bunch of your friends in the middle of the desert, spending a day consuming what ever floats your boat, having a great dinner by campfire light, and for the evenings entertainment? A giant f**king bomb detonating in the just barely safe distance.
Sounds pretty awesome to me. When I rule the world, the bomb makers get to keep their jobs, they just make kick ass fireworks.

Is it fair to savage Britney's figure? - No
Yes the performance sucked. Fine. And I HATE Britney and everything she stands for. But c'mon, fat? Hardly. Say what you want but that's still an attractive figure. Especially for a chick who's had some ups and downs (I know what depression can do to your weight) and a couple kids. I'd love to see one of the folks who was calling her fat go through the workouts she did to get herself back in shape.
