Now here’s some fuckin’ change I can believe in:

Folks irked by Obama coins that are simply stickers placed on 50-cent pieces.

If you stop, just for a second, and think about it…it’s kind of an allegory for his entire existence:  something cheap and temporary pretending to be something valuable and durable.

As if.

Reading this is like watching an actual car wreck.  So I can’t imagine the effect of watching the freaking show itself.

I do LOVE the exhibition of typical elitist prick behavior from the SF husband and wife, though.  Can you imagine those two actually pulling the sticks out of their asses long enough to have sex?  It buggers the imagination.

The apology is bullshit.  The wife’s “explanation” is also bullshit.  They are both desperate attempts to preserve current associations and the possibility for future ones.  But the husband has been exposed as a snob and a verbally abusive bully.  If he would subject a complete stranger to this sort of vitriol, can one imagine what his kids must rate?  And that wife…apparently she asked her swap husband if he was going to hit her.  Um, what?  

Reality shows, with a very few exceptions, are evil and should be destroyed.  I do watch American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, and Project Runway, but in each of those cases, people are competing based on their born-with TALENT and honestly-acquired SKILLS, not based on how big of a fucking douchebag they can be on national television.

Yes, the producers of these dropped-from-the-ass-of-a-horse shows are 3/4 to blame, for A) conceiving the better-stillborn concept in the first place, B) manufacturing drama between “contestants,” and C) editing the final product to maximize said drama, but the people with the voyeuristic streak who avidly watch them are also to blame.  If they didn’t pull the ratings they wouldn’t be on the air, would they?

*Yes, I meant “buggers,” not “beggars.”

Nothing like starting your morning off with a little fresh hate.

On Day One of his presidency, everywhere Mr. Obama went they played “Hail to the Chief” for him – but not since. In fact the U.S. Marine Band’s duties at the White House over the last 10 days appear to have been dramatically downsized.

Instead of the usual contingent of trumpets, tubas and drums, a single piano player now provides musical interludes before and after the president’s appearance.

And the tunes have little connection to the military marching music of John Phillips Souza that is the usual accompaniment to presidential appearances. These days the pianist’s repertoire includes Cole Porter’s “Night and Day” and Sting’s “Desert Rose.”

I’m sure the 52s – those pantywaist chickenfuckers – will think nothing of this, just as the cockbiter’s violation of the Logan Act has also been utterly ignored.

I could not despise these people – and their Dear Leader – more if they’d personally killed my dog.

Some morning indigestion for you via Twitter:

It seems a pair of judges in Pennsylvania have been sending kids to juvie in return for kickbacks from the detention center operators.

The setting is Pennsylvania coal country, but it’s a story right out of Dickens’ grim 19th-century landscape: Two of Luzerne County’s most senior judges on Monday were accused of sending children to jail in return for kickbacks.The judges, Luzerne County President Judge Mark A. Ciavarella Jr., 58, and his predecessor, Senior Judge Michael T. Conahan, 56, will serve seven years in jail under a plea agreement.

They’re alleged to have pocketed $2.6 million in payments from juvenile detention center operators.

Everyone involved with this should be executed, and have their heads placed on pikes outside the courthouse.  You know, as a fucking REMINDER.

And if I have to tell you what they’re being reminded of, expect a visit from me and my Cheese Grater.

You know, I really don’t have time for this foolishness:

If you think the biggest problem with a camera phone is the poor quality of the photos, a member of Congress might make you think again. Earlier this month, Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would ban camera phones from having a silent mode when taking a picture.

The Camera Phone Predator Alert Act (H.R. 414) would “require any mobile phone containing a digital camera to sound a tone whenever a photograph is taken.” What’s more, the bill would prohibit such handsets from being equipped with a means of disabling or silencing the tone. Enforcement would be through the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The text of the bill is short, and King’s office has not released any public statements. Yet, the reasoning behind the legislation is clear. The text states that “Congress finds that children and adolescents have been exploited by photographs taken in dressing rooms and public places with the use of a camera phone.”

Hey, here’s a thought:  instead of punishing those who have done nothing wrong, how about we take all the child abusers, trace their own abuse backwards, and permanently sterilize absolutely everyone involved, thereby eradicating the fucked-up genes responsible for this madness in the first place.  

Then, of course, make the punishment for actually abusing a child a .45 to the back of the head.

There, problem solved.

This is the kind of thing you just love to read on a lazy Sunday afternoon: young adults – the future of our country, thank you – exhibiting all the backbone and neural complexity of laboratory-grade protoplasm.

Campus police at East Carolina University said they made one arrest and used pepper spray on some students as officers tried to control a huge snowball fight on campus.

Pepper spray??   To break up a SNOWBALL FIGHT???

Well it was a Really Mean snowball fight:

“It all started in good nature, but then people were throwing them as hard as they could at each other. They were everywhere,” said junior Brandon Davis, noting he got hit in the head.

He said a girl was knocked to the ground after being hit in the face with a snowball thrown from 10 feet away, while another student cried after getting hit in the eye.

Now, living as I do in Florida, it has indeed been some time since I’ve been involved in a snowball fight, but unless you’re packing snow around a big fucking rock, hitting someone with a snowball generally results in nothing more than a bit of a sting.  Certainly not tear-worthy.  Unless you’re five.

So the students are pussies, and the cops…the cops are pussies, too.

Police said an officer used pepper spray on a group of students that rushed officers trying to make an arrest. Authorities estimate between 200 and 250 people were involved, but no serious injuries were reported.

Pepper spray, on a bunch of squishy student types?  I mean, come ON.  Sidestep, elbow to the solar plexus, DOWN. 

Matt Lunchick, a junior, said he saw an officer tackle and arrest a student after the officer was hit with a snowball in the back.

SIGH.  This is the sort of blown-out-of-porportion bullshit that causes our retarded Congresscritters to feel they have to draft legislation to Pruhteck the Peeples.  We can’t have them causing each other owies, now can we?

We’re going to need a bigger cheese grater.

Ok, I know I wrote about this the other day (yesterday? whatever) sans viewing, and then you all came along and told me to go read Iowahawk’s transcript.  Once I started reading that I had to go watch the fucking thing, because, well, you just have to know who “Another emo music d-bag in a jaunty thrift shop straw chapeau” is, because the pool of potentials matching that description is just HUGE.  

So I watched the fucking thing.  And while I’m très tempted to haul out the special message I’ve already passed along to these delightful, if somewhat retarded, children, I think this totally rates a new one:

Dunno about you, but I’m enjoying the new Brietbart Big Hollywood.  An entire site devoted to snarking about the cluelessness that emanates from the Asshole of America like some giant chili-fart…color me there.  Joanie and I are having fun in the comments, you all should join in…apparently the other readers hunger for same, commenting last night was worth a goodly number of visitors overnight.

Annnnyway, I’m also glad to have someone else view the videos that I Just Won’t Watch, like this knob-slobbing abasement, A “Presidential Pledge” to President Barack Obama.

Just the title causes reverse peristalsis, so you can imagine what an actual viewing does, but reading the article and the comments kind of crystallized for me the WHY of the lower-intestine infection that is Hollywood, as I commented over there:

Sometimes I spend a nanosecond or two wondering how these self-involved genetic lottery-winners come by their leftward leanings, and I think I’ve figured it out… For the ones capable of actual thought processes, ie. the bosses, conflict on a national level cuts down on the disposable cash of the average American, ergo less movie-viewing, DVD-buying. And we can’t have that. For the ones less acquainted with cogitation, ie. the pretty ones, it’s more of a herd/survival instinct. Soooo much easier – and success-making! – to parrot the “party” line than actually spend valuable spa-time pondering the issues and formulating their own opinion. Besides, that might make WRINKLES!!!

There.  Mystery solved.

Indicators of what kind of person he really is.

His own picture – and an advertisement, for fuck’s sake, for his crowning inauguration – on our nation’s flag.

Inviting the pilot of the USAir flight that glided his passengers to total safety in the Hudson last week, not to a meet-and-greet at the White House, but to be one of the million morons attending the crowning inauguration.

There are more, but it’s a Sunday night, dinner is almost ready, and then it’ll be time to play with the kids.  Look for the indicators, people.  Even you 52s – you glee-faced imbeciles – take note of exactly how much contempt he has for you, this country, and the office he is about to sleaze the fuck up.  Just take fucking note.

I sincerely hate quoting WND – they’re about three steps down from the National Enquirer in my book – but they’ve got a point here, as corroborated by the Miami Examiner:

U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., is hoping to pass a firearm-licensing bill that will significantly rewrite gun-ownership laws in America.

Among the more controversial provisions of the bill are requirements that all handgun owners submit to the federal government a photo, thumb print and mental heath records. Further, the bill would order the attorney general to establish a database of every handgun sale, transfer and owner’s address in America.

Um, no.  Not just “no” but “come to my house and try and make me.”  

The bill claims its purpose is “to protect the public against the unreasonable risk of injury and death associated with the unrecorded sale or transfer of firearms to criminals and youth.”

Are you seriously that naive?  Or just criminally fucking stupid?  

Oh wait, I’m asking that of an Elected Official, so the correct answer is C: All of the above.
