I was going to post about this horseshit this morning, but something came up.  Now going back and re-reading the article some 12 hours later, and it’s still horseshit.

A lawyer representing a man charged with drunken driving has claimed Connecticut’s breathalyzers discriminate against blacks. 

…

Ruane said research shows the lung capacity of a black man is 3 percent lower than a white man’s and, therefore, black men’s test results vary from the sobriety standard set by the device.

All I have to say about that is this.  Honestly, there’s like TWO white guys in that list.

I could have sworn I wrote a scathing diatribe against this nobody actor who made the case over at the SnuffBlo that those of us who did not fall into line and vote for Dear Leader are fucking nuts or something.  Ah well, apparently I had more important things to do…like change the cat box, mop the kitchen floor, and/or sort our junkmail into color-coded/point-of-origin/cross-referenced-by-industry stacks.

Anyway, I’m reminded of his particular brand of crazy this morning whilst reading about another actor (probably best known for portraying the Sicilian in The Princess Bride)  who moans that President Dubya has just COMPLETELY RUINED his beauty sleep and ability to write.  

Please, allow me to answer the charges.  

I’m sorry, small hairless man, that you’re incapable of separating world events from your personal life, but I think laying the blame at the feet of a world leader is a little, hm…presumptuous on your part.  Maybe you just suck as a writer, have you thought of that?  Maybe you’re ever destined to be a Trivial Pursuit question, a “Hey, It’s That Guy,” or the answer to “the person most likely to have a drink accidentally set on their head at a party” question in Final Jeopardy.  

We can’t all be David Mamet, Wally.  Just let it go.

The mind, she boggles:
 

A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, who published excerpts on his Camillo blog. Basically, Jong says her fear that Obama might lose the election has developed into an “obsession. A paralyzing terror. An anxious fever that keeps you awake at night.” She also says that her friends Jane Fonda and Naomi Wolf are extremely worried that Obama will be sabotaged by Republican dirty tricks, and that if an Obama loss indeed comes to pass, the result will be a second American Civil War.

…

“If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it’s not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets.”

Does this cow even know how OLD Cheney is?  Last I heard Dick Cheney was the Vice President of a bad heart, he ain’t leading anything but the charge to the glycerin pills.

Sweartagad, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.  Have these people always been this bugfuck insane, or is this year special in some way?  

In the car this morning I had the thought that the idealogies of the two political parties in this country have seriously become so very opposed that maybe it’s just time for two separate countries.  Really, the Leftards can have the Pacific coast, New England and fucking Colorado.  Texas will, of course, take this opportunity to break off completely.  The rest belongs to us non-crazy people, goddammit.  Fuck with us at your peril.

This is easily the dumbest thing I’ve read in the past…hour.

This point is so hard to explain to right-wing work friends. Taxation *with* representation will always be wealth redistribution.

~Some Fuckstupid Twitter User

Just WOW.  I’m seriously starting to believe a percentage of the populace is severely brain damaged.  

Taxation WITH representation means WE get to say what is done with the money, via our “hirelings,” those assbags we send to Washington.  Where we are failing, as employers, is in keeping those pricks in line, preventing them from doing what THEY want with the cash, and instead making them do what WE want.  That’s how this shit is supposed to work, people.

Instead most of us are complacent.  Elect the person that talks the best game, then let them go to DC and do whatever the fuck they want.  And then treat them like they’re the boss.  They’re in government so they must be in charge, right?

WRONG

Calling taxation “wealth redistribution” is simply your way, Mister Fuckstupid Twitter User, of rationalizing the stated intentions of your candidate, to make them a bit more palatable.  Oh, we’re already paying taxes, what’s a little more?  Besides, it won’t be US paying, it’ll be teh Evul Rich Corporations.  Idiot.

As much as I dread The Messiah’s Ascension, a perverse part of me looks forward to sitting back and watching the ensuing carnage, and laughing my entire ass off when these very same proponents start howling for his blood because he’s taxing THEM.  Or, you know, not making with the handouts fast enough.

“Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!”

There’s no other explanation for anyone from Hollywood making statements like this:

In a room full of television industry executives, no one seemed inclined to defend MSNBC on Monday for what some were calling its lopsidedly liberal coverage of the presidential election.

The cable news channel is “completely out of control,” said writer-producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, a self-proclaimed liberal Democrat.

She added that she would prefer a lunch date with right-leaning Fox News star Sean Hannity over left-leaning MSNBC star Keith Olbermann.

Well, yeah.  Olby would get spittle…possibly even chunks of lung…all up in your salad niçoise.

Ugh, I have Election Malaise so hard that even chocolate and the shooting range are having a very hard time perking me up.  I was watering the veg garden yesterday…a typically CALMING experience…and just started ranting at the Husband (and the veg) about the Obamatrons and how they all secretly WANT a fucking handout, they WANT to be taken care of by the government, and this is why they will turn out in droves to vote for his socialist ass.

Yes, I’m going to continue to call him “socialist” even though he has (thusfar) not actually said anything (on tape) about nationalizing industry.

Well, any further than the fuckboats currently in office have ALREADY done. 

Did any of my four readers watch SNL last weekend?  Ha, neither did we.  In flipping through channels looking for That 70s Show reruns we did stop there for about five minutes and caught the end of the Obama Variety Hour sketch, and I have but one question:  did they truly think that was insightful political satire?  Because it instead came across as an affectionate ass-lathing perpetrated by partisan hacks with a leftward bent that would make Ron Jeremy green with envy.

No, they don’t have to be fair about their lampooning, they’re a private concern after all, but just think of the material they’re missing out on.  And Fred Armisen SO PERFECT in the jug-ear makeup.

Xst, I should never rant pre-coffee.  Someone cheer me up, STAT!

Fridays are usually busy around here, and the cumulative shit-sandwich of the preceding week cries out to be washed down with alcohol, so I think we’ll make Friday Link Dump Day.  Here’s some shit I’ve noticed today, but have no time to expound upon:

Whoever taped these flyers to mailboxes in Wausau, Wisconsin needs their gonads sheared off.  I said it before and I’ll say it again, I have never seen such racism as I’ve seen in this fucking joke of an election.  Fuck all y’all, as we say back home.

“They Both Suck ’08″ signs in Jacksonville.  It’s a pity they couldn’t have spent a few bucks for some colored markers.  Oh wait, does saying the word “colored” make me a racist??? 

I dare you to read this without a few tears leaking out.  I hate and despise the general populace…passengers on airplanes doubly so…but you have to appreciate humanity sometimes.

And finally, the stupid bitch we all thought was lying her ass off yesterday, was indeed lying her ass off.  Actually, this one has me quite infuriated, I might actually come back to this.  In the meantime, heap your scorn thereon.
