First of all I apologize for not updating my blog in a while. I am sure the two people who regularly read it have been upset. Sorry.
Second I am watching Meet the Press Right now and former disgrace Newt Gingrich is on the program advocating whatever the fuck the republican party is trying to advocate right now. really if you hang on his every word and think he is the greatest genius of all time you should probably find a knife and stab yourself with it because you are beyond hope. That guy is a fucking hack. And if you don't believe me ask his first two wives he got divorced from. Of course it is all right now because he is catholic (and please David Grogory you are not running for Miss America but you are hosting a political talk show do not be afraid to be an asshole to the people on your show I am ashamed that my roommate told you that we were a big fan of you in the gift shop at the Washington Nationals opening day game two years ago).
No but the point of this post is how according to the bible God told Abraham to kill his kid. Of course this was according to the Old Testament where God was just killing motherfuckers left and right if they did not have a boat but come on. This makes no sense to me.
Most people love the bible and take it as some sort of truth. I am not going to argue against that because that is for another day. Yeah but most biblical scholars and the people who go to church twice a year love the story where God told Abraham that he had to kill his kid to honor God for some sort of reason (I went to CCD when I was kid basically because my mom made me go and if I remember correctly Abraham fucked some chick that was not his wife, got her pregnant and made her and his real first born kid move the fuck out. If I am wrong about that blame the old married couple who told me that and not me). And I must admit I am probably getting this wrong since I am basing it off of a shitty Hannah Barbara cartoon that they made us watch back in the day.
Yeah but to get back to my main point was that God supposedly told Abraham that he had to kill his first son for some reason. Really why did God want him to kill his kid? Did he stay up past his bed time? Did he watch the movie Species? That movie had adult situations in it.
Yeah I know before Abraham plunged the knife into his kids chest God told him to stop. In current time situation we call that dues ex machina or an episode of 24. I mean that is some hard core shit right there. I am just saying the people who are against abortion in any form you can think of totally love this story of Abraham listening to his God and killing his kid. It makes no sense to me. How can the people who think the most egregious sin that can ever be done which is killing baby fetuses think that one of the greatest stories in the Old Testament involves the possible killing of a kid who is not a baby fetus?
I don't know. That probably made no sense since I have been drinking a lot of Rum tonight and still have some sort of Euphoria high since the Cleavland Caveliers lost to the Orlando Magic tonight. I am not trying to start anything I am just saying I don't understand it. can someone please answer me?

Wanda Sykes
Well this weekend was the celebratory circle jerk that is the White House Correspondent Dinner. A bunch of assholes get dressed up and ate a bunch of crappy food. Of course who am I to complain. If I was invited and there was an open bar I would be so there.
Well of course the conservatives/republicans are mad because black/woman/gay (I am only using these labels to quantify a later point) comedian Wanda Sykes made a couple off color comments about that fat fucking pill popping propaganda spewing Bastian of integrity Rush Limbaugh. Basically it was something to the effect that she compared him to the terrorist who flew planes into buildings and said she hopes he gets kidney failure. You know what I fucking laughed when I heard it. But that is not the point.
First of all it is insulting when I hear conservatives like Sean Hannity say that Wanda Sykes attacked Rush. What do you think his three hour radio show is made up of? unfair attacks on everyone. And you know what? Being that Wanda Sykes is a black/gay/woman, three various sub groups that Rush has made millions of dollars off of talking shit about on his radio show over the years I am willing to give her a pass. People who take him seriously are stupid.
My second point is that most of the people I see on the television saying that they don't find Wanda Sykes funny I think have no credibility when it comes to judging a comedian's jokes. I don't say this as a comedian but as someone who has occasionally laughed in his life. Really let me just show you two people who I have seen on television on Foxnews bitching about how they never found Wanda Sykes funny.
Wow. Shocker this old white guy who writes for the Wall Street Journal never found Wanda Sykes funny. Though from what I hear he loved Scary Movie Part 3 but only because one of those black Wayans brothers weren't in it.
And this is Jonah Goldberg. He said he did not find Wanda funny at all. And this is coming from the guy who wrote the book Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning . Oh wait a second that book was serious. I thought comparing the liberal movement to fascist movements like Mussolini and Hitler was a joke. Not surprising both of their names are John because they are full of shit.
But the whitest guys ever are going around saying they never found Wanda funny. Not surprising. But what I find really lame is that people like these two and other conservative commentators are complaining and calling Wanda Sykes a coward for not joking about how Obama does not agree with gay marriage. Hey conservative people who got mad at Wanda Sykes leave the jokes to a professional comedian and you keep continuing to push bullshit to these half wits that make up your audience.
And I am sorry for how mean this post is. The Caps just took the Penns to a seventh game. I'm not mad about it but not exactly happy about it.
Actually i am not sorry. These people are horrible.
Go Penns.

Joe The Bigot
Remember Joe The Plumber? He was that bastion of integrity whose real name is not Joe, was not a plumber, said Obama wanted to obliterate Israel and said reporters should only report what they are told to in a time of war. So yeah he is a fucking idiot who is now trying to advocate we abolish the IRS and institute a fair tax or some idiotic thing like that. Yeah Joe's thought capacity might be lower than the republican approval ratings.
Well Joe is not done being an idiot. This is from a recant interview:
Christianity Today: In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level?
Joe The Plumber: At a state level, it's up to them. I don't want it to be a federal thing. I personally still think it's wrong. People don't understand the dictionary—it's called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It's not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we're supposed to do—what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we're supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they're people, and they're going to do their thing.
So this fucking honky thinks calling people strange and unusual isn't a slur? I get sick of all these religious people who feel like they can demonize any minority group whether it be homosexuals or African Americans but they get up in arms if someone says anything remotely negative about them. And how homophobic can you get when you won't let your "gay friends" around your children? I'm sure your "gay friends" got caller id specifically to avoid talking to you asshole.
Also when Joe was asked if he would run for office he said he wasn't planning it right now but he stated “God hasn’t said, ‘Joe, I want you to run.’ I feel more important to just encourage people to get involved, one way or another. If I can inspire some leaders, that would be great. I don’t know if I want to be a leader" I know I don't want him to be a leader. Though I guess it is safe to say that God has told Joe to constantly shame and demonize gay people when ever you can.

Let The Right One In
For some reason I don't get to watch movies too often anymore. I don't really get to the theater to often anymore since my last experience was pretty awful (The last Indiana Jones movie which I found to be about just as good as the other one had little kids jumping and prancing around and yelling) and the NBA playoffs are on. I viewed a really good movie yesterday about a strange kid who befriended a vampire and ended up falling in love with her. No it wasn't Twilight but a movie called Let The Right One In.
I don't want to get too into the movie since I think it is best for you to experience it yourself without knowing too much going in but I must say that it is an intelligent movie for adults that touches on many interesting issues. I hope it finds a bigger audience here in America before what will only be the shitty American remake comes out (which has been announced).
There were two things that I took away from the movie. The first one was how cool it would be if my girlfriend was a vampire. We could hang out all night and I would have the day to myself. IF anyone fucked with me she could use her vampire powers to fuck them up. In todays world it would probably be easy for me to secure blood for her so she doesn't have to go around killing people. I would never have to go to Olive Garden. As long as she promises not to bite me I don't really see any downside to the relationship.
The second thing I took away from this movie was that it reinforced a rule I used to follow but over the years I've become very lax with. If someone comes to my house and makes a big deal about me inviting them in I do not invite them in. Vampires can only come into your house if you invite them. Do you know how many vampires I've invited into my house probably most of them being pizza deliverymen (only order a pizza from Papa Johns during the day trust me)? I'm surprised I haven't been turned all ready. And the worst part about inviting a vampire into your house is that the Vampire Test would be ineffective on them.
But really you should check out this movie. It moves a little slower compared to most American horror films because that is the way things typical go in these European movies but it has many compelling themes and situations in it. Another reason why I could find it hard for people to get into is the fact that not everything is explicit spelled out for you and some of the scenes and relationships are purposely left ambiguous(the book the movie is based off of is a lot more clearer). Its hard to actually discuss without giving anything away which is why you should go see this movie right now so we can talk about it.

She is Begining to Get To Me
I just want to document this so I don't forget as it is a Friday night and these unimportant things tend yo do that.
A random Snow Patrol (yea I know how did that get there) song came on my itunes. Usually I skip right over one of their songs but I was busy doing something. At this moment in time and the way I currently feel I must say that this might be the best song ever. I probably won't remember that in four hours and will probably deny it in eight hours because when I did a YouTube search I typed in Snow Dogs I just wanted to put that one record.
It's not an official video by them but a video some dude put together with I think the show Veronica Mars. I never saw a minute of that show even though I would marry the girl in it but I bet if I did watch the show that video would have moved me to tears. I felt invested in their whole relationship just from the video. Dammit Veronica do you love him or not

Why The News is An Awful Lot Like Con Air
I find myself to be typically well informed when it comes to current events and what is going on in the world. I admit that I wish I knew more and was able to follow more real world events closely but if I'm at a party and someone wants to bring up a recent issue such as the latest Hate Crimes Bill that passed I will be able to join the conversation.
What I have recently discovered is that most of my news and views will come from websites instead of the traditional media which I guess you would include television and newspapers. Granted I do read some paper publications online but I tend to go to various other websites such as Motherjones and Democracy Now to stay informed. I tend to get my news from more progressive websites but I also read more conservative sources even though I find most of them crazy.
I find myself watching the shows on the cable news and over the last couple months but only as an entertainment. This is not news but rather spit shinned polished bullshit so dressed up and produced that the only way you would be able to tell that it was utter complete shit would be to actually be on set while they are filming so you could actually bask in the putrid aura of shit that permeates from whatever talking head happens to be on the show.
When did these news programs turn into that Nic Cage movie Con Air. You might remember the movie. Cage plays an ex con whose intelligent level is a hair higher than the temperature inside your fridge and gets stuck on a plain with prisoners so utterly depraved of any morality they have names like Cyrus The Virus and Dog the Bounty Hunter.
But to me watching the news is an awful lot like watching Con Air right now. It is something that I can put on and not pay attention too. I can sit there on my computer looking at hardcore Japanese anime pornography and half listen to what is coming from my television and at about five or six minutes intervals I can be utterly shocked how blatantly prosperous everything is (though the news will become much more entertaining I think when like movies like Con Air it has blatantly homosexual tendencies in it as well).
Most of it isn't even news anymore but instead structured to reach a certain audience who shares whatever ideology the show is trying to push to get the most amount of viewers that they possibly can because lets face it what is more important than actually informing their viewers and acting as the watchdogs of democracy is selling ad revenue and protecting big business.
That is why I get sick of people complaining about how the media has either a liberal or conservative bias. No it has a bias of catering to stupid people. These are the stupid people who are transfixed by the confrontational yelling matches they have on television; the louder the hosts gets the more righteous the viewer finds the hosts point. Most of these viewers don't watch The Rachel Maddow Show or Sean Hannity's America to become better informed but rather hear everything they all ready know to be true being spit back at them.
Take the newest sensation of Fox News; reformed alcoholic and fucking crybaby Glen Beck. Now hear is a guy who hawks some pro America populists message and for some reason not only invites but has made the Howard Beale comparison to himself.
The only problem is that the Howard Beale character was in a satire about network news and that in the movie Network he was actually crazy. Beck is just a huckster hawking his product for gullible idiots. He is one of these conservative assholes who whines about the limousine liberals but yet rides around in limousines himself. Those who watch him all ready agree with what he has to say and those who are detractors are some some faggy liberal (But John Edwards sure made Ann Coulter look foolish. Edwards fucked a woman. He fucked a woman who wasn't his wife. Your move now Coulter).
Glen Beck is a perfect example of the movie Con Air; something so utterly ridiculous and so far removed from reality I understand why it is popular. Like Beck the movie Con Air was popular but it fucking sucked and I think it is atrocious people actually watch and derive their opinions from the Glen Beck or Keith Olbermann shows of America.
