Generally, I’m a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of guy. I’m a firm believer that people should be allowed to do whatever it is they wish if doesn’t harm anybody else - live and let live is what I say, especially if I’ve had a few beers in me. However, there are a few things that this dude cannot abide. Two of which are wasteful government spending and unnecessarily putting people in harms way. So you can imagine my response when I found out about a product that the Iraqi government spent over $80 million (of our money, mind you) on that has resulted in the unnecessary deaths of Americans and Iraqis – I was pissed.
And we have reached a new low.
So my last post was a collection of media cuts that made Republicans look like idiot arse-nuggets. In the post I stated that I was sure that there were plenty of dummy Democrats but they were not as vocal as the stupid Republicans. Basically saying that both parties have a structural defects because they keep nominating complete dolts to run this country.
The following clip is of Milwaukee county supervisor, Democrat Peggy West stating that Arizona has no right to weigh in on the immigration debate with their recent controversial legislation because it doesn’t border Mexico. Another council person had to take time to point out that however Mrs. West feels about the legislation itself, AZ does in fact border Mexico. [Read more]
I'm sure you could put clips of Dems saying stupid things together, but I don't think that it'd be this ridiculous. Some of the stuff these people say is astoundingly dumb.
My questions are as follows:
1) Are Reps just stupid or out of touch with reality? [Read more]
I got to thinking the other day about the last time I voted. It was 2002 in west Mesa, AZ at a church with a bunch of really Mormon-looking people. The voting “booth” was a long table with a series of cardboard dividers set up past the eye line and it reminded me of my work cubicle and that it cost me an hours pay to come down and vote in a election that I could give two sh*ts about. Then I started I started doing the math about how valuable my vote was to the overall electoral process - if a million people voted my vote would be worth .000001%. And that ain’t worth a whole lot. There’s more than .000001% of mercury in your drinking water, but that small amount is deemed harmless, like your one vote to a politician.
My formative years were spent watching two hours of Simpson’s cartoons a day, an hour block from 6-7pm and a follow up block from 10-11pm. Consequently, most of my worldviews are based on Simpson’s episodes – hence I surmised that nuclear weapon abolition is stupid.


The Goldman Sachs Senate Hearings turned out to be crappy, sh*tty, one might say, over and over again while giggling inside that you just said sh*tty on C-SPAN. If you are going to curse at least throw a f*ck in there. It’s the difference between campy PG-13 horror movies and gory R horror movies. If you are going to go for it, go for it. Had Senators truly wanted to prove their points they could have asked better questions, not just do a sh*tty rendition of a high school principal chewing out unruly students.
So I was bopping around Facebook when I saw that someone wrote a post supporting gay marriage. I added my two cents by posting a link to a dagblog I wrote about the issue. A woman by the name of Rachael took exception to the post and posted a comment back. In turn, I took exception to her taking exception and this prompted her to write a direct response to my blog on her blog. The following is my response to her response. You can check out her response here.
Dear Rachael,
Aren’t epistle styled debates fun?
This is an email I’m planning to send to this guy who we will call “Phil” who sent me a friendship request on Facebook. If you have any suggestions on a better way to word my displeasure, do share - you’ll have to trust me that this guy deserves to be talked to like this.
Dear Phil,
When the internet was invented by Al Gore’s uncle I wonder if Unky Gore realized that while it would revolutionize the digital world it would also become a freak show. And not just the traveling kind with a bearded fat lady, dog boy, and some guy with way too many weird tattoos, but the holy shit I can’t believe how depraved and psychotic people are freak show. Need I remind you of two girls, one cup? I’ve never actually seen the two girls or the one cup in question, but I had it described to me in vivid fashion and I think that’s enough. [Read more]
There is a new trend among state legislatures to pass laws that are in direct or indirect contradiction to federal statutes.
1. South Dakota/Wyoming – Passed a bill saying that federal gun statutes are invalid if the gun is made and used in SD or Wyoming respectively.
2. Oklahoma/Utah – Passed a resolution allowing them to opt out of any new federal healthcare mandates.
3. Alabama/Tennessee/Washington – Considering measures that would give local police authorities supremacy over federal agents in certain situations. [Read more]
Unless you’ve been living under an analog rock, you know Apple released the biggest surprise everyone knew about: the iPad. Dubbed “The Jesus Machine” (http://www.buzznews.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=102...) by some industry analysts (analysts whose hyperbole machine is broken), this product is supposed to resurrect the dying print media. [Read more]
At first I thought this was a joke perpetrated by Sal9000, I mean come on, his name is Sal9000, but after recognizing that he was Japanese and seeing the wedding video I realized that this guy is for real. He really does love the video game character he created. [Read more]
It's been a while since I posted on Dagblog. I'm not going to apologize for my absence or explain why, I just wanted to point it out. Anyway, welcome to another exciting edition of My New Favorite Websites (MNFW): the judgement edition. Join me in relishing these two websites that help you look down upon other people - it's fun!

Levi Johnston has some deep tweets. Below is just a small collection of his tweets. If you have not already, you need to follow him.

You can find just about anything on the internet nowadays. And I do mean everything, I found a website dedicated Charles In Charge trivia (www.cicoml.com/angelfire/79874984434), I found a social network for short guys who love tall women (www.giraffehunters.net), I even found a website that talks about former President Reagan like he was a good president (http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/68788). So was I really shocked to find out Scott Roeder, killer of Dr. [Read more]


Luckily my parents are luddites so I dont' have to worry about this. Friend me on face book before your mom does: Larry Jankens
Huffington Post - A. Terkel/R. Grim begins report with:
WASHINGTON -- At a private three-day retreat in California last weekend, conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch and about 250 to 300 other individuals pledged approximately $100 million to defeat President Obama in the 2012 elections.
and report includes:
The source told The Huffington Post that they lamented the direction the conference has taken over the years. They said it used to be about "conservative strategy" and building a movement, but now it was mostly an "alpha male" spectacle focused on fundraising to beat Obama.
This is downright frightening.
If I could offer advice to a young rebel, it would be to rummage the past for a body of thought that helps you understand and address the shortcomings you see. Give yourself a label.
Effective rebellion isn’t just expressing your personal feelings. It means replacing one set of authorities and institutions with a better set of authorities and institutions. Authorities and institutions don’t repress the passions of the heart, the way some young people now suppose. They give them focus and a means to turn passion into change.
As if the socio-political change is a matter of removing one set and plugging in the other set.
In the end, all Brooks once wants to do is point to the kids of today and say "aren't they being silly."
What Brooks wants to avoid is the messiness that comes from delving into the change where the outcome is not known before one set out ahead of time. It wraps this up by saying those who see it in a different way are merely motivated by personal feelings, which is about as asinine as it gets.
As they say, you read, you decide. Preview:
They'll still turn down Planned Parenthood again next time because of the supposed pass-through grant. Unless of course, Nancy Brinker was lying last night. So which is it?
“This represents nothing new. We have known and have reported that they are continuing five grants through 2012. This is a reference to that. The second clause about eligibility is certainly true. Any group can apply for anything. It does not mean they are going to get anything,” Ruse told LifeNews.
Geez, is the 'surrender' a trojan horse? Or in fact, not even a surrender, since ongoing current funding was not being stopped. According to this, it's all about the future funding processes, which is still not committed. Hmmm.
Once again, as ever, this bill (as many legislative actions) provides only the facade that our Nation's leaders are legislating what the country needs and holding themselves to the same standards as their constituents.
In truth, the proposed legislation does not provide the same oversight and consequences for Congressional insider trading malfeasance, as the rest of our nation's citizens are subject to under current insider trading laws.
We need to stand up and speak out that this is not good enough! Please, blog - send emails - call - communicate the facts to the WH, media and your own local governmental body, asking them to pass a resolution to be forwarded to your state's congressional members as well as the WH. Don't attack either party as all are culpable. A bi-partisan coalition none should support.
Well it took longer than I thought, but just a day longer. KOMEN has reversed course.
We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives.
Nancy Komen Brinker goes on to deny what happened and continues to say they were misunderstood, but the backlash has been enormous, and they have reversed course and apologize.
The thing is, I think this will continue to hurt them, as they've been found out, they support policies that that hurt women.
Yep, sorry Nancy, your days in the spotlight are probably over.
I will update this with some video soon.
