I wonder if there was ever a time in my life when reading the news did NOT make me angry. If there is, I sure can’t recall it…I suppose it’s as they say: if you’re not pissed off, then you’re not paying attention.
Reading the news this morning has my blood pressure up, and that little vein in my temple throbbing, so in sheer self defense, I hereby create Kick in the Ass Day. It seems like the kind of thing you might have once a year, but nooooo, I think we need to have it once a week instead, seeing as how there are So Very Many people who are So Very Deserving of a kick in the ass. Ergo, every Wednesday hereforth is Kick in the Ass Day. Here, I’ll start:
- French President Nicolas Sarkozy, a man I would not trust to find his own dick without a GPS fix: ”…went so far as to say, revoltingly, that Israel had hurt the cause of peace in the Mideast by sending ground troops into Gaza.”
- Egyptian President Mubarak, a man who knows neither jack nor shit about ‘humanitarianism:’ ”…called the humanitarian crisis in Gaza “intolerable,” and demanded an immediate ceasefire and the opening of a humanitarian corridor into Gaza. Mr. Mubarak blamed the deteriorating situation in Gaza on Israel’s military operations and said it is leading to an increase in tensions and instability in the Mideast.”
- Annie Lennox, singer and drooling moron: ”A few days after Christmas I came downstairs, put the television on and saw smoke pyres emanating from buildings and it shook me to the core. I was thinking, as a mother and as a human being, how was this going to be a solution to peace? It’s a question of human rights, human values that goes beyond Jewish, Muslim, nothing to do with any of that. There has to be a place ultimately where people come to the table”. “
With the exception of the dancing monkey there in the #3 slot, these people, one can assume, are reasonably intelligent to rise to the top leadership position in their respective countries – or at least cunning as fuck – so how does one explain their apparent position that it’s hunky dory for the terrorists to lob over 3000 missiles (in 2008) at Israeli civilians, but it’s not so peachy keen for the IDF to wade in and kick some fucking ass to make it stop? That’s not logic, that’s self-fucking-delusion.
Congratulations to all the honorees in the First Weekly Kick in the Ass Day. You may download the following image and display it proudly on your MySpace page, Facebook profile, and/or personal scrapbook.

And let that be a lesson to you.
