That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works

A racist told me that by saying the black lives matter I was being a racist who seeks to divide people.  This racist then blocked me before I could tell them that white people standing up for black people is the right thing to do and those who oppose we white folks who stand up for black folks are the ones who are racists.

The new favorite tactic of those on the wrong side of history is to claim their opponents are racists.  They think by claiming that word they are somehow gaining victory.  Their impotent rage at this next stage of the struggle for equality and for civil rights for all is funny.  Their comical efforts to paint anyone who dares disagree with them as racists is one of the truly humorous things I've ever seen.

The trifecta of political stupid

• Bill Maher ran a video that showed people from Mississippi spouting how much they hate Obama. Since I can't watch that smarmy piece of pig shit I didn't notice if anyone on his show pointed out that you can find conservatives in every state in the union who hate Obama, but I'm betting no one did. Maher makes my flesh crawl.
• James Carville's wife, you remember her, she's the one who was Dick Cheney's chief of staff, says that Mitt Romney has the heart and soul of a working class American. Funny, most working class Americans weren't born in to wealth and privilege like Mitt was. And no working class American gets as much federal assistance as Mitt does. If it hadn't been for favorable tax laws and the fact that equity management companies like Bain Capital are not regulated or taxed, then Mitt wouldn't have near the wealth he has now. The hard truth is Mitt had massive amounts of help from the government he claims to hate. He's a hypocrite and that awful wife of Carville's is a liar.
• John McCain said that Sarah Palin was the best choice out there to be his running mate in 2008. Two things about that statement. One, if she's the best choice, then boy oh boy, the Republican party sucks ass. And two, we dodged a huge bullet by not electing someone so stupid that they'd say that Sarah Palin was the best choice to be his running mate.
  

Fucking idiots all.

Just go away

• Bill Maher, go the fuck away. Stop saying the fat drug addict apologized to Ms. Fluke. He didn't. He never said he was sorry for calling her a slut and a whore. He said he was sorry for the words he chose, not the words he used. And if you think I'm splitting semantic hairs, you're a pot addled idiot. Just go the fuck away you smarmy creepy letch. And the next time you feel like giving a million dollars away, how about you give it to an organization like Doctors Without Borders or Partners in Health, oooh, even better, go to a shitty underfunded inner city school out in LA and buy them some books, musical instruments, and science lab equipment. Those kinds of folks need money more than Obama does.
  
• Post menopausal women who are criticizing Sandra Fluke, go the fuck away. Go the fuck away ASAP if any of you who are criticizing her also had pre marital sex, sex inside your marriage that didn't result in child birth, or extra marital sex because you did the same thing Ms. Fluke and her contemporaries are doing, taking the birth control pill.
• People who claim this birth control mandate is a violation of their religious freedom, go the fuck away. You're all too chicken shit to admit that what this is really about is your fear of women having sex and enjoying it. Go the fuck away you hypocrites.
• Lisa Murkowski and other female legislators who voted for the Blunt amendment but now regret it, go the fuck away. Sorry ladies, you can't have it both ways, either you support your fellow females or you don't. You fucking voted for the amendment and now you feel bad about it? Good, you fucking well should. Your vote was a giant step back for women and you ought to lose your ovaries for that kind of shit. Just take your dried up lady parts and go the fuck away.
• Legislators who are chipping away at our right to protest, go the fuck away. You bastards are supposed to be our servants, not our masters. You rigged the system to keep yourselves in office but I'm here to remind you politics is cyclical, you'll be out one day. You and your ilk can't go away fast enough for my tastes.
• Republicans who insist that Jesus would be against equal treatment for gay, lesbian, transgendered people, treating immigrants with dignity and respect, and single payer national health insurance for all, go the fuck away. You people obviously haven't read your Bibles. Jesus told us to love and take care of one another, he didn't say that we're supposed to be hateful assholes who use his words as a weapon. And stop using the gospels to justify your greed you greedy twisted fuckers.
• Ron Paul-bots, go the fuck away and take all the tea baggers with you. Ron Paul will never win the Republican nomination, much less the presidency. He's a huckster and a con man, he's taking your money and doing fuck knows what with it. And since you're dumb enough to believe that people will elect him POTUS and since you're dumb enough to keep giving him your hard earned money so he can waste it, you deserve all the scorn and derision I can heap on you idiots.
  

All of you, go away, go to South Carolina or South Dakota or some other hell hole and stay there while we build a wall around what ever one state you settle in so you can't mix with the rest of us ever again. Seriously. GO THE FUCK AWAY.

Eat up with stupid

The Capitulater in Chief has put cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid on the table in an effort to get the Republicans to like him. Let's count the ways this is possibly the stupidest thing Obummer has done since taking office:

• Republicans have always hated Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. They've wanted to get rid of them for years but they could not because they are some of the most beloved programs a Democratic party president ever signed into law. Allowing any cuts to them would be tantamount to surrender.
• Social Security isn't part of the deficit, it's paid for by taxes on payroll. If it's not driving the deficit, like the wars of terror on Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya are, then it should not be part of a deficit solution.
• Cutting these programs will cost the Idiot in Chief votes. In fact, it may cost him his base.
  
• If you want to piss off the biggest voting bloc in this country then be sure to cut the Medicare that so many senior citizens depend on, and even though I'm not a senior citizen I depend on it too since I am on SSDI.

So yeah, go right ahead a put all that on the table, toss all the New Deal and Great Society gains we made on the bonfire of bipartisanship as well Obama, see where it fucking gets you. You fucking class traitor.

On the other side of the aisle, Orin Hatch of Utah has said that the poor and working poor of this country need to step up and contribute more to solving the deficit that he helped create under Bush Jr. Yeah, you heard that right. The man who helped create this deficit wants the people with the least money to pay to fix it. And yes, he voted to keep the Bush/Obama tax cuts for the wealthiest people.

So in case you're not following along, rich people get a tax cut and poor people get to pay more in taxes to make up for the money the rich aren't paying in thanks to people like Orin Hatch. And on top of that he want to ban porn. He wants to fuck us out of our money and he wants us to not be able to get any release after he does so. Fucking idiot.

Obama and Hatch both are eat up with stupid.

Signs of the times

No, I did not photoshop this and I did not switch the signs or mess with it in any way.

This week in stupid

Taxes will be going down for the rich but they'll be going up for the poorest among us if President Quisling's tax cut wish come true. And he's going to dig his heels in and fight for his tax cut capitulation even when faced with the fact that no jobs were created the last time taxes for the rich got cut and that the rich won't spread that money around.
However the unemployed people who only get one more year of benefits, while the rich get two, would spread their money around because they have to pay for things like food, housing, transportation. So giving the rich more money they won't spend but taking it from the unemployed who will certainly spend it and thereby stimulate the economy is stupid.

Here's a shocker, a Republican said something stupid...
Rep. Bachus from Alabama, ground zero for most stupid, says that Congress shouldn't regulate banks. He says that Congress should instead serve the banking industry. Hmmmm, I don't know about you, but I get the feeling he's going to serve us to his banking industry overlords on a silver platter. Bend over America, here comes more financial industry stupid!

Wanna hear something really fucking stupid?The loser behind Hillary Clinton's losing Presidential campaign and the man who's current job is to make sure corporations don't get besmirched in the court of public opinion and to make sure they get their way in Congress, Mark Penn, is lobbying for President Quisling's tax cut capitulation on the Huffington Post. It just goes to show you where his heart and mind is...they're on his ever swelling bank account. Go fuck yourself you stupid fat corporate fuck. I hope your taxes get raised through the roof you pig.


Just when you think that Fox News can't get any stupider, they do:
And finally, don't forget that while we stupidly waste billions in tax dollars occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, our citizens here in the USA are being denied Medicaid, unemployment benefits, life saving drugs, and we are being forced to make due with a crumbling infrastructure. But the good news is American Idol is coming back soon, we're still kicking the world's ass in corn production, and we've got the war on Christmas nearly won!

Have a gloriously stupid Christmas America! You deserve it.

Stupid stuff that people have said to me #3

Back when I used to work for Myers, they would periodically make us go to company HQ for more training and to introduce us to new products that the company had taken on. While on one of these trips I had to room with a sales guy from the Charlotte branch who was a real jack ass. He was, and probably still is, the stereotypical self aggrandizing sales jerk who thinks only of himself and loves to brag about what a great person and salesman he is. If you looked up the word narcissist in the dictionary, his picture would be beside it.

In an effort to make himself seem even greater than he already was in his own mind he decided he needed some self improvement so he told everyone that he was reading this book:
The one thing he had learned that he wanted to share with every was the love was a verb. In his tiny mind that meant that the word 'love' and the word 'verb' were interchangeable and that they meant the same thing. He couldn't grasp that what the author meant was that verbs denote action and that you can't just say you love something, you have to put action behind that word to make it real.

So for the entire three days we were in Akron he would tell anyone who made eye contact with him about the book he was reading and that he really 'verbed' things. He'd take a bite of steak and say, "Man, I really verb this steak." If he saw someone who he hadn't told about the whole love=verb thing then he'd say, "Oh, you probably don't know what I'm talking about do you? See, I'm reading this book about what successful people do and the guy who wrote it says love is a verb. So when I say I 'verb' something, that means I love it. It's what successful people do."

By Saturday night I had had enough of him and his asshole ways. When he came into our hotel room and woke me from a sound sleep to tell me how much he verbed drinking, I told him to shut the hell up so I could go back to sleep. Of course it didn't register that he had pissed me off because he cared only for himself. So he grabbed his cell phone and he made a call to whatever woman with cripplingly low self esteem he was dating that time. I overheard him say to her that he was reading the seven habits book and that he had learned that love was a verb. Then he said that he verbed the poached salmon he had made for her the other night and that he thought he was in verb with her.

I shouted at him to shut the fuck up because he was keeping me up. So of course he began talking louder and telling the wretch he was dating that he did not verb me because I was mean to him.

I calmly got out of bed, put on a pair of shorts and a T shirt, packed my suitcase, and I told him to go fuck himself as I walked out of the room. I went downstairs and checked into another room and I went right to sleep. The next morning I saw one of the Myers executives who was in charge of the arrangements for the weekend and I told him that I had to get a room of my own that last night because the roomie they stuck me with was such an ass. He said I'd have to pay for it myself but then he asked me who I was rooming with. When I told him who it had been he said that the company would pay for the room and that I wouldn't be charged for it. I shook his hand and I said, "Dude, I verb you so much right now it hurts."

Sometimes they come back

I posted this picture on my Facebook wall:
An old female acquaintance from high school then made this comment, "Obama..... One Big Ass Mistake America !!!!"

I replied to her saying, "I hope you're kidding Cathy."

She replied back, "Nope." And then for good measure she also left this comment, "Mickey Mouse should of been President". She didn't use any punctuation and she used the classic mistake 'should of' in place of the correct 'should've.' I'm guessing the fancy book learnin' rules about punctuation and contractions don't apply to teabagger conservatives like her. And I'm sure she'll whine that I'm trampling on her freedom of speech because I dropped her as a Facebook friend. However, I'll never know because I blocked her stupid ass as well.

Stupid shit people said to me (# 2)

One Sunday afternoon in the mid 1970's my crazy aunt forced all us kids into her station wagon and drove us up to Harlan, Kentucky so that we could meet some distant relatives of hers who had the misfortune of living in that hell hole. On the way up there her son, Cousin Psycho, said, "I don't want to go to Harlan." His mother screeched, "Why not honey?" He said in all the seriousness his small violence addled brain could muster, "I don't wanna go there because there's too many black people there."

I started laughing. I said to him, "You're thinking of Harlem. There aren't many, if any, black people in Harlan."

Of course he punched me and said, "Shut up queery. You're not as smart as you think you are." And then he punched me again.

His mother then told me to stop 'causing trouble,' and to leave her son alone.

To this day I have never been back to Harlan.

Okay. I get it. Now move along please.

A round up of things pissing me off right now.
1) Okay, Justice Anthony Kennedy, I get it. Okay? I get the fact that you don't want any defendants in our criminal justice system to have any rights whatsoever. I understand that. You were appointed by St. Ronnie and you're an activist judge who is active for the state and for corporations. Now please move the fuck on to the next phase of your life and retire before you take any more rights away from the citizens of this country. You'll never have to worry about being oppressed by the police who you love to give more and more power to so fuck you.

2) a-Okay Christian idiots, I get it. You hate science because your religion dissolves under scientific scrutiny. I get that. I understand it. I also understand that you hate and fear the theory of evolution, so much so in fact that you invented a different theory to explain what evolution does. Little problem with that though, the creationism and intelligent design stuff you came up with, aren't science or scientific. Evolution can be proven to exist. Your supernatural mumbo jumbo can't be proven using the scientific method. So call it what ever you like but don't call creationism or intelligent design science.

b-Okay Christians, I get the fact that you people hate it when I lump you in with the ghoulish gay sex obsessed jackals at Westboro Baptist, the 700 Club, and the Roman Catholic Society of Child Molesters. I understand your hatred of me when I do that. But you see, the point is that you're all Christians and if you say that Westboro Baptist, or Pat Robertson, or the priest who stuck his finger up a little boy's ass and then jerked off while sniffing it as the kid whimpered isn't as much of a Christian as you are, well, you're kidding yourself. You don't get to pick and choose who is and who isn't a Christian. The yardstick for that spiritual measurement isn't whether the person in question is Christ like, hell if that were the definition than nobody would be a Christian, it's whether that person in question calls himself that or not. I'm not a Christian but that guy who shot Dr. Tiller is. And you call me a bad person for not believing in your fairy tale and for lumping you in with people who share your beliefs? Okay, I get it. You're delusional.
3) Okay I get it people, I farted and my fart stinks. I get it. Now move the fuck on with your lives.

4) Spaceships! Take me away. Oh wait, I get it, you won't come here because we're not evolved enough. I get it. Damn it, I get it.

5) Okay Ted Haggard, I get it. You're starting another church. Since I'm not a believer and never will be ever again, I'll not be attending the First Church of Meth Crazy Jesus Has A Big Boner. Good luck with that though.

6) Hey Russell Brand, I totally get it. You say stupid shit and have wild and crazy hair. And you're boning that no talent chick who sings about kissing other chicks. Guess what douchebag? I don't think you're funny and both you and your girlfriend are frauds. And Ace Ventura called, he wants his hair back. Now, if you'll be so kind, please slink back to your home country and finish the surgery that's turning you into Amy Winehouse. Once your 'comedy' career is over you can come back here and have a nice little go at being lead singer in Ms. Winehouse's tribute band.

7), 8), and 9) Okay. I get it right wing pundits, Republicans who 'hate' big government, and corporate apologists, in your eyes BP did nothing wrong and the oil that's gushing out into the Gulf of Mexico is totally not a problem. You know what, if you really believe the shit that's coming out of your mouth, then you should totally buy some beach front property on the Gulf and you should be forced to eat nothing but fish and fowl that's been killed as a result of the oil disaster. If we find a planet that's like earth but it's uninhabited, you idiots aren't allowed to go. Nope. You're going to have to stay here and live in the mess you helped create and Sarah Palin and her off spring will be your leaders until the end of time. Have fun morons!

Stupid shit people have said to me (part 1)

I'll admit it, I get around. And when I'm around people talk to me. Unfortunately for me sometimes they say some really stupid shit. So the stuff I haven't forgotten, either on purpose or not, I'll try to share with you from time to time.

Doesn't that make you happy?

I knew it would!

A girl I once dated asked me what I thought the strongest muscles in the human body were. I thought for a moment and then I answered, the jaw muscles. She shook her head and said I was wrong. She then informed me that the strongest muscles were the biceps because they were the 'power' muscles that people used when punching other people.

I told her that the amount of force used by the jaw muscles when chewing or ripping food was way more than that generated by the biceps. She rolled her eyes and said, "But you cain't hit nobody with your jaw muscles, now can you?"

I sighed heavily and then changed the subject.

We broke up a few weeks later.
