Dear Pat Robertson
Fuck off you damned charlatan. Gay people aren't what's wrong with this country. The ACLU isn't what's wrong with this country. Secular humanism isn't what's wrong with this country. Rap music isn't what's wrong with this country. But one thing that is wrong is that you still manage to get people to listen to your hateful, sorry-ass excuse for preaching. God told you that there would be an attack on the USA, eh? Well, did you ask for details so you could call Jack Bauer and have it stopped? No? You're just going to sit there and let "it" happen so you can sit back and bask in your God-given rightness. You fucking useless clown. I don't know how you live with yourself, spewing all the crap that you do. Please, do us all a favor and go crawl back under whatever rock you came from.
Love,
Pat

Liberals who buy The Dixie Chicks and watch Stephen Colbert mock the president, in a very unfunny way mind you, not only undermine the Long Global War on Terrorism and Extremism (LoGWoTE) but they also smell bad and say mean things about conservatives and are unhinged and hate America. They probably think Al Gore should be in the Oval Office giving state secrets away to China while he uses the phone to ask for campaign contributions.

The Weekend That Was
I flamed out at my first poker tournament this weekend. I'm pretty sure I don't like poker tournaments, and it's not just because I lost1. The thing that draws me to poker night is basically the social aspect. At the tournament everyone was there for the game. Sure there was drinking, jokes, and other social stuff going on but the master of the evening was the blinds timer. I'll be glad to go back to the smaller, more comfortable Thursday night setting.
So, already the night isn't going as well as it could. As we're driving into our drive way we notice that one of our front windows is broken. The first thing that goes through my head is did we get broken into, quickly followed by "oh crap, I hope the dogs are okay." As we moved to the door we could here the dogs stirring inside, so that was a relief...we just had to keep them away from the shards of broken glass. Then we got inside and saw the blood. Lots of blood. It was on the floor and smeared all over the windows. Right then we knew what happened.
For a while now the neighbor's dog has been coming onto our front porch and stirring shit up with Bash. I've even been home when it happened and it sounds really bad when they are barking at each other through the window. This time the two of them managed to break the window. We found glass on the inside and the outside, plus Bash had a cut on her bottom lip.
So, off to talk to the neighbors about their dog. It's always fun going over to somebody's place to tell them they (by neglecting their responsibility as dog owners in a city environment) screwed your house up. It went as well as we could have expected it to go.
My folks came over and we put up a piece of plywood over the broken window. It's really a tribute to the Okie blood that runs through my veins.
We also watched Fantastic Four, which was just horrible. Avoid it like the bird flu.
Sunday was spent mostly on the pool, and by 'on' I mean trying to get the damn pump working like it should, which means that I got a great sunburn. You may call me The Irish Lobster for the next fews days...but only if you want to get punched in the neck. I watched Paycheck and while it's not the worst John Woo movie ever, his record making movies in the US is just downright sad.
Anyway...here's to next weekend being less sun-burny and having better movies to watch.
1 For the record, I was playing pretty by-the-book hold 'em and took a ridiculous number of bad beats. But then, that's what happens at tournaments...

Shared Symbols
Flags. National anthem sung only in English. Lots of stupid going around. This rant over at TPM Cafe pretty much buries all the stupid. I'm still gonna need a whole lot of happy to get over it all though.
Stop embarrassing America by suggesting that the ostentatious display of exclusionary shiboleths are what unite us as a people. That's what unites the French, and that's why they get so upset when people eat the wrong goddamned cheese. I mean, the English can sing our national anthem in English. That doesn't make them more American than, um, people living and working here who left their entire life behind for a chance at the American dream.
Can I get a "Hell yeah!"?

We Made Our Bed
The fact is that if Americans did some serious conservation, they could reduce consumption by 1/3. Since they use about 20 million barrels a day of petroleum, they could replace the production of both Iraq and Iran (Iran produces 4 million bbd and exports 2 of it) all by themselves, just by going on the kind of diet Europe did in the early 1980s. But the last politician who dared tell you that was Jimmy Carter and no one will ever, ever go on television and talk that way again, who aspires to hold public office.
I've been driving, a mid sized car,
I never hurt anyone
Is that a fact?
The price of gas keeps on rising
Nothing comes for free
Make like a stone, make like a plant
I can tell you, how this endsWe're going to win this
With spades and truncheons, guns and trowels
That is how the war will be won
Just swat the fly
Taking care of cars and bodies
Nothing ever comes for free
The ghosts are here, red white and blueI can tell you how this ends

Seriously people...there are real things to worry about and I assure you this is not one of them. If they really wanted to spy on your web habbits they would just get the data from Google, DoubleClick, and Abacus.

Christmas Juxtaposition
In today's consumer society, this time (of the year) is unfortunately subjected to a sort of commercial 'pollution' that is in danger of altering its true spirit, which is characterized by meditation, sobriety and by a joy that is not exterior but intimate
Every company in America should be on its knees thanking Jesus for being born. Without Christmas, most American businesses would be far less profitable; more than enough reason for businesses to be screaming Merry Christmas.
