Happy Tuesday

This is possibly the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. This jackass sounds like fucking Barney Fife. The quote itself is funny enough, but the sound bite is even better. If anyone can find a link, let me know and I'll post.

President Bush on Supreme Court Nominee Samuel Alito:

Sam Alito. He's a very, very smart, capable man. When you talk to Sam Alito, you think, smart judge. He's written a lot of opinions.

Get Ready -- This is The End

I've been trying to deny for a long, long time, but I think the time has come to make it official -- this is the end. I am truly surprised that we don't all have cameras in our homes and chips in our skulls which encode the electrical pulses generated in our brains and send them off to a giant government-owned server farm which harvests all of our primal brain waves.

Now I like Google, despite the fact that I think they really are going to try to Take over The World in the near future. However, all that is water under the bridge now. Yahoo, M$, and AOHell all caved to Big Brother, but Google held out, (possibly) recognizing their duties as a powerful netizen. Godspeed Google, and here's to hoping that the ACLU and EFF take up your cause Real Soon Now.

What can we do about this? There's lots of nice tech out there to help, but the sad thing is that we are pretty much powerless against the war machine. However, I'll post some good places to check out in the near future.

He's Back

Well, as if you didn't expect this to come sooner or later. Of course, all the hawks will declare this as just one more reason we should bomb the shit out of some already bombed-out villages, and the peaceniks will use this as one more reason that we should stop eating meat.

But read this carefully. As I have said in the past, this guy and all his cronies are fucking nutjobs who have no right to breathe the same air as me. However, given the current world political climate, neither are a lot of people (including about 99.9% of those in charge of the good ol' US of A). Having said that...what's so bad about what he's saying? If there were several hundred thousand muslim soldiers roaming the streets of my town, I'd be pretty pissed too. And you know what? I'd want them the fuck out. So I can understand, to a degree. As for the truce thing, I'm torn. Part of me says: why should I ever give a second thought to anything this guy says? And what could possibly be the incentive for this guy to offer a truce? But the other part of me is saying: maybe there's something to this...

Well, here's what would happen, most likely: we agree to a truce, the terms of which include us staying out of the middle east. We still get oil, but we have no political or diplomatic influence over the region. We leave them alone, and they slowly start establishing regimes based on sharia all over the place. The Taliban come back and do their thing, but they leave us alone (remember the truce). These new regimes increase the pressure on Israel, and maybe there's some increasing tension. But guess what? We're sitting pretty. If George Bush's real intent is to keep us safe, who gives a fuck what the consequences are? And plus, why is it our job to push a culture, lifestyle, or moral code on anyone? Sure, I'd like to see people being treated fairly and equally the world over, but at the price of the blood of my brothers? Ask yourself.

Am I That Messed Up?

I've become enthralled with disturbing videos recently. I don't know why, but what does it really say about me? Truly, I can't be that fucked. Or maybe I could be, and my denial is just too strong. Anyways, there's some interesting stuff in there if you consider yourself among those afflicted with the same disease as me. Oh well...enjoy.

NOTE: Defintely NSFW. Watch at home, for the love of god!

Yellow Cake, Anyone?

Surprise, surprise -- the Niger link was bullshit. If you didn't know that by now, you shouldn't be reading this page. However, this story did remind me of the "Black Bush" skit from Chappelle's Show, where Mos Def is a CIA agent who brings 'yellow cake' from Niger into a press conference. Hilarity ensues. Here's a link to the video in case you haven't seen it, or just need to be reminded how funny that shit was.

Zombie Hunter

Blast zombies to little bloody bits, all timed to a well-chosen death metal soundtrack. Rock.

Kitten Cannon!

Excellent time waster. To my knowledge, the longest I've heard of is just avoer 2,000 feet. Beat that, suckas!

Base Jumper Bites It -- Hard

Base jumper wearing a helmet cam. Parachute fails to open. Flailing wildly, he tries to slow his descent by clawing the dam he's just jumped off of, but to no avail. Jumper bites it, big time -- all within the first minute of the video. The next minute consists of shots of bloody hands crawling around and painful moaning. I can't say what happens in the remaining 8, as I had to stop it. If anyone sits through the whole thing, please let me know what happens later on.

Apologies

Before I post some of this stuff, I wanted to apologize. Hey, somebody's gotta do it.
