Idiot Chick Chat

i'm lazy, so no work for you this week...

2005-03-17T07:53:00.000-08:00

OK, two posts in a row quoting someone else's post.
check out this guy-
here, with this log of blog. it's rather insightful.

26 prisoners in Iraq and Afganistan tortured to death. When the Abu Graib shit came out before, the slope-skulls argued that it was not nearly as bad as what happened under Saddam, and the Iraqis should thank us for the gentle torturing, etc. I suppose the next logical place to go is numbers: "we may torture to death a few dozen Iraqis, but Saddam tortured thousands to death - thus those that live should thank us for sparing their lives."

there's some interesting commentary on the new BS bankruptcy bill. I don't think it can pass, though, because what
would that mean for the rich who occasionally do it to unload debt?

Are these two totally different things? I guess I better go read the bill, but I know it ain't good.

this site here

Here's a good excerpt:
If we ever needed proof that we are not represented by our own government, this is it. No one wanted this bill except the consortium of credit card companies that drafted it, but it still passed the Senate 74-25. Why? Because Senators know who pays for their campaign war-chests. Yes, this is yet another go-around on the ridiculous wheel that is our political system, where in order to keep a job meant to serve the people of the country, our elected leaders enact laws that punish instead. Effective democracy? ARE YOU EFFIN' KIDDING ME? I do wonder when the Senate will start enacting legislation on behalf of whatever countries loan us money. Can't be too far off.

I know I'm the one who's always saying we should expect nothing less from our current crop of elected leaders. This bill, however, is particularly brazen. It is also pointlessly cruel, given the circumstances of over half the bankruptcies in the country. Couple that with the fact that even after all the proposed amendments to make it less vindictive failed, 18 Democrats still voted for it, and you realize that it's no laughing matter.

No Crying Allowed

I immediately found this title amusing today:

"Eight-year-old arrested after alleged tantrum"

But then upon reading the article, it was more clear-cut. Still funny, but
kinda legit.
LINK

And this other article stating that Ward Churchill will not be fired was also great. The president of
the school even said that the uproar over his essay was simply due to "a new McArthyism", that horrible
jackass responsible for "communist" hunting a little over 50 years ago.

I will not salute the flag, I will not recite the pledge of allegiance

2005-03-02T21:22:00.000-08:00

For those who haven't seen it yet, like me about 5 minutes ago, this is
quite interesting. A teacher in new jersey greets his students by yelling at
them everyday, demanding they obey and salute the flag, etc.

A small group of students, fed up with schooling from g.w.bush/hitler person,
decide to not obey. He gets angry and actually goes over and pulls the chair out
from under the kid who refused, AS IS HIS RIGHT, to not stand up for the national
anthem.

Obviously, sick, gross, what else can you say.

Have you seen my Balls? They're big, and salty, and brown!

2005-02-27T20:42:00.000-08:00

Have you heard of a crazy little thing called AIDS? OK.
Have you heard that it kills more people than are born in
Africa?
Alright.
Did you know that AIDS was created in a secret united states
laboratory to wipe out the black race entirely so that whites
have more land to move to and exploit, and have been intentionally
poisoning African blood for over 20 years?

Well then, I guess you may have never heard my conspiracy theories on the
subject.

No, No, No Thompson, you son of a bitch

2005-02-21T16:20:00.000-08:00

The great Hunter S. Thompson is gone. How sad can one day possibly be. he's another
in the long list of "I never thought they'd kill themselves" people.

Well, goodbye, I will miss you like crazy.

Negroponte

2005-02-17T08:43:00.000-08:00

Well, mr. negroponte is up for another promotion. Yes, he was responsible for many thousands of
people slaughtered in South Central America in the 80s, and yes he has been a special ambassador
for Iraq lately.

The bush team is just one criminal following another, with all CEOs running gov't departments. What
a joke this is, but there's no way out of it besides, say, VOTING!!!

I noticed that RUFN Kidding is
talking about this, and well, it is indeed a tragedy. There's no stopping these criminals though, until they
are voted out of office, or bombed out!

And Chomsky has some good, though he's said it before if you're a follower, thoughts responding to al-qaeda
type terrorists, and the terror they're replying to.

It flunked yet again?

2005-02-14T12:01:00.000-08:00

WOW, the missile defense system flunked yet another test in its bid to cost the US taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars, which will immediately be given to Boeing Co., GE, and Lockheed Martin, who are building the systems.

You'd think that since they want it to succeed so much they could do tests that it would pass. But no, it's such a lamo system that it flunks.

Not to mentions the more obvious things that many people have pointed out, such as the fact that if we were really under missile attack (highly fucking unlikely since it would mean suicide to whoever was bombing us) that the perpetrators could send out decoy missiles for the missile defense system to attack, while sending a real attack slightly behind. There's just no fucking way this system can save us from fucking anything. They just want $300 billion handed to them in a further continuation of the military industrial complex. It's bullshit, a very large stack of bullshit!

it's news to me

2005-02-11T09:26:00.000-08:00

Wait. Are you saying that the bush administration was warned long before 9/11 about the potential
risk of an approaching terrorist attack? Are you also saying that the FBI was watching these men
taking flight lessons the whole time, then just stood and watched them get on their airplanes to
crash into buildings?

Oh, well I already knew that.

did you know bush is a pile of dogshit?

2005-02-08T10:07:00.000-08:00

I can't seem to get trackback to work, and plus the NY Times website is now down.
so, here is a great excerpt from an editorial that states exactly the reasoning behind the
social security scam, and huge deficits, which justify cutting social spending.
it was done I believe by Krugman. Enjoy!

"Social Security is the soft underbelly of the welfare state," declares Stephen Moore of the Club for Growth and the Cato Institute. "If you can jab your spear through that, you can undermine the whole welfare state."
By the welfare state, Mr. Moore means Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid - social insurance programs whose purpose, above all, is to protect Americans against the extreme economic insecurity that prevailed before the New Deal. The hard right has never forgiven F.D.R. (and later L.B.J.) for his efforts to reduce that insecurity, and now that the right is running Washington, it's trying to turn the clock back to 1932.
Medicaid is also in the cross hairs. And if Mr. Bush can take down Social Security, Medicare will be next.
The attempt to "jab a spear" through Social Security complements the strategy of "starve the beast," long advocated by right-wing intellectuals: cut taxes, then use the resulting deficits as an excuse for cuts in social spending. The spearing doesn't seem to be going too well at the moment, but the starving was on full display in the budget released yesterday.
To put that budget into perspective, let's look at the causes of the federal budget deficit. In spite of the expense of the Iraq war, federal spending as a share of G.D.P. isn't high by historical standards - in fact, it's slightly below its average over the past 20 years. But federal revenue as a share of G.D.P. has plunged to levels not seen since the 1950's.
Almost all of this plunge came from a sharp decline in receipts from the personal income tax and the corporate profits tax. These are the taxes that fall primarily on people with high incomes - and in 2003 and 2004, their combined take as a share of G.D.P. was at its lowest level since 1942. On the other hand, the payroll tax, which is the main federal tax paid by middle-class and working-class Americans, remains at near-record levels.
You might think, given these facts, that a plan to reduce the deficit would include major efforts to increase revenue, starting with a rollback of recent huge tax cuts for the wealthy. In fact, the budget contains new upper-income tax breaks.
Any deficit reduction will come from spending cuts. Many of those cuts won't make it through Congress, but Mr. Bush may well succeed in imposing cuts in child care assistance and food stamps for low-income workers. He may also succeed in severely squeezing Medicaid - the only one of the three great social insurance programs specifically intended for the poor and near-poor, and therefore the most politically vulnerable."

Spong-bob the homosexual

2005-02-01T08:10:00.000-08:00

Funny, right after I finished an article in my shitty, I mean SHITTY,
college newspaper this morning about Focus on the Family claiming that
that little cutie-pie sponge-bob is a homosexual because he holds hands
with...his best Friend, I came across this beautiful "outing" of some of
the focus on the family folks.

I didn't see it all this time, but this certainly proves it I think.

what the fucking hell?

2005-01-30T18:29:00.000-08:00

Even as the explosions thundered over Baghdad, the people came in their hundreds and then in their thousands. Entire families, crippled old men supported by their sons, children beside them, babies in the arms of their mothers, sisters and aunts and cousins.

I really didn't expect anyone to take this voting thing even remotely seriously. Hard to believe people would go vote when a huge majority of the population despises the occupation. That's good. It's just too bad that it will still only end up being completely controlled by 'rumsfeld and the gang'

I wonder how the propaganda line will go now. I guess probably still the same "We're here because the gov't is asking us to be here, and asking us to continue to bomb Iraqi cities to rubble. Why else would we be here?"

One death is a tragedy. 1,000 deaths is a statistic.

congratulations to ms. Carin L., who gets the can of beans for being the first
person to answer my Stalin question. thanks to all who participated!

racial profiling

2005-01-28T15:10:00.000-08:00

Apparently there are millions of votes that should have been valid, yet the repulicans somehow managed to scam them out of existence.
Coincidentally (???) they are mostly from black people. There seems to be a sort of racial profiling happening in voting.

It's pretty hard to explain, and it's not my research, so I'll print it here for
you to check out.
LINKYPOOH

but here's one neato part:

Who won the presidential race? Given the millions of ballots spoiled and provisional ballots rejected, the unfolding mystery of the exit polls and widespread use of electronic voting machines, we will never know whether John Kerry or George W. Bush received the most votes in Ohio and other swing states

But we can name the election's big winner: Jim Crow.

Voting. Just like in America

2005-01-26T18:07:00.000-08:00

What will people be voting for? A 275-member Transitional National Assembly (TNA), approximately one member for roughly every 100,000 people in the population of just over 25 million. Political parties have submitted lists of candidates, who must be aged 30 or over.

So who cares if the majority, like 75%, of the population aren't going to vote. We're gonna shove democracy down their throats, and they're going to accept it whether they like it or not. It will be strictly american controlled democracy, with no actual governing done by, you know, any Iraqis. But oh fricking well.

Stop me if you've heard this one-

One death is a tragedy. 1,000 deaths is a statistic.

A free can of pinto beans to whoever can tell me who said that.

more tsunami action

2005-01-23T13:56:00.000-08:00

Gaia could not have picked a more appropriate time and place to send us
a message of her hidden powers, and the message that we are Indians and
Indonesians, Sri Lankans and Swedes, Thai's and Maldivians only
secondarily - we are first and foremost citizens and children of the Earth
sharing a common fate of a shared disaster, and a common desire to help
and heal.

The Christmas - New Year holidays bring the entire world to Asia's
beaches. The Earth quake induced Tsumani on 26th December in the Indian
Ocean became a global tragedy because it impacted not just the Asians, but
visitors from across the world, including Swedes, who had come to
holiday on Asia's sunny beaches.

As 2004 gives way to 2005, nature's fury in the Indian Ocean fills
minds and hearts of everyone in every corner of the earth. And while the
immediate tragedy faced by millions must be our first response, there are
long term lessons the Tsunami brings to us. We need to listen to Gaia.

The first lesson is about development in coastal regions. Over the past
few days of market driven globalisation, respect for fragility and
vulnerability of coastal ecosystems has been sacrificed for hotels and
holiday resorts, shrimp farms and refineries. Mangroves and coral reefs
have been relentlessly destroyed, taking away the protective barriers in
the face of storms, cyclones, hurricanes and Tsunamis.

take the oath

2005-01-20T09:23:00.000-08:00

How about a new citizen's oath of office:

"I do solemnly pledge that I will faithfully execute the office of
citizen of the United States, and that I will, to the best of my ability,
help create a truly democratic world by (1) going beyond mainstream
corporate news media to seek out information about important political,
economic, and social issues; (2) engaging fellow citizens, including those
who disagree with me, in serious discussion and debate about those
issues; (3) committing as much time, energy, and money as possible to help
build grassroots political organizations that can pressure politicians
to put the interests of people over profit and power; and (4)
connecting these efforts to global political and social movements fighting the
U.S. empire abroad, where it does the most intense damage. And I will
continue to resist corporate control of the world, resist militarism,
resist the roll-back of civil rights, and resist illegitimate authority in
all its forms."

Up your ass Powell!

2004-11-18T11:39:00.000-08:00

Fuckin' A god damn hell shit. Can you believe this garbage? Powell
is now resurrecting the Iraq argument for Iran. I mean, it's fucking
identical!

"Iranian exiles say that Iran is enriching uranium at a secret
location (just like the fucking WMD that could be North, South, East,
or West of Baghdad, we're not sure, eh Rumsfuck) and are trying to build
a nuclear weapon."

Check the link. It will make you want to throw up, but what else is new.

Fuck!

2004-11-14T11:54:00.000-08:00

Did you know there's a war going on? Did you know a couple thousand
Iraq people have been killed in about uhh less than a week? Did you
know that donald rumsfeld is a moron piece of shit? (and wolfowitz)

Don't leave your house today. And don't watch the news. Just pick up
one of your romance novels and spend the next couple years reading
it. When you enter the world again, maybe this war at least will be
over. Should we just end it today and drop a big 'ol nuke on 'em?

Praise Jesus!

indeedee, macadamia nut!
this certainly was a great article about "Putting Fallujah

and they've certainly done just that, immediately after the
election.
What a wonderful society we get to be a part of. I can hardly

The Real Moron

2004-11-09T06:44:00.000-08:00

Hey, I got this wonderful article of someone (a computer tech, not a reporter, dipshit) at CNN rightfully calling
pictures of george bush "asshole.jpg" and "moron.jpg". Too funny, but they
were caught, so CNN had to apologize, sort of.

as you may know.

I found it from the downtown republicass-here,
bless her little, little, little, soul,
who of course says this means we've got one uhh 'dem dare "liberally biased media"
problems in this here god-fearing country, since CNN, like FOX, is
constantly complaining about war, publicly calling bush an idiot, dumbfuck,
moron, asshole, diarrhea-brained, fuck-wad, shithole, no good piece of
shit bastard, right there on their nightly broadcasts. And especially since
this guy who is responsible for putting up the web-site called the photos
"asshole" and "moron".
GOD DAMN DARNIT ANYHOO, them damn liberally biiassed meedia in 'dis cuntry are
reallly brinin' uss dowhn.

Boy, kids, if only we din't have such a dern liberal media, then we could get away
with killing 50,000 Afghanistan people, and over 100,000 Iraqi people, all of who
are not named "Osama", and 75% of them women and children with no guns.
god damn you liberal media. What? We are killing over 50,000 Afghanis and over 100,000 Iraqis, and getting away with it with no mainstream media complaints? Oh,
well that's just we got that liberalll media working at naming 'dem 'dare photos and what not, and
the christian right voting
on bush saying he'll do right by his "faith".Ooopsy.

jesus fuckin' christ, it's enough to make you scream, if you can find the time to
scream between trying to eat everyday, etc., thanks to bush sending more than 2.6 million jobs overseas to sweatshops his first four years. I cun heardlee wait for
the next dern four years!

OK, later.

Phuck U

2004-11-08T13:27:00.000-08:00

Finally, our good ol' troops stormed into Phallooja, to go kill them
some damn Iraqis. It's very important to storm into an area that you know
will be bombing and attacking you, and not too excited for you to be there,
in other WORDS.

Let's see here- Stay out of Fallujah and avoid many American and Iraqi casualties,
including limb-loss and what not. OR- Attack Fallujah and increase the disgruntled
number of people ready to take up arms, and suicide bombs, in order to cause you
pain.

We know what these idiots chose. What would you choose?

Have you read this:

"In Colombia, another forgotten imperial catastrophe, the full benefits of US style democracy have been available to an ungrateful population for nearly 40 years. Only just recently on August 6th, three more trades unionists, this time in the Arauca department, discovered the essential truths underlying their country's good fortune. They were murdered by members of the "Reveis Pizarro" Mechanised Battalion of the US trained and financed Colombian army.

Their deaths and that of campesino leader Pedro Mosquera in October confirmed Colombia as the world champion of trades union repression. This in its turn more than explains the country's world ranking at number three in terms of US military aid. US taxpayers and their representatives clearly like nothing better than a genuine commitment to "free trade" demonstrated by the extermination of organized labor. (3)

Earlier this year, to emphasise the success of the US war on drugs in their country, active drugs dealing paramilitaries of the AUC terrorist group addressed the Colombian national assembly. Several of these acknowledged criminals, like Salvatore Mancuso, were wanted by the United States authorities. Unappreciative relatives of some of the thousands of people murdered by the AUC protested - outside, duly supervised by armed police.

For a judicial exposé of the real measure of the horror of the criminality of the United States and its allies one has to go to Chile. Remember how people like Tony Blair's model Margaret Thatcher and renowned war criminal Henry Kissinger fell over themselves to protect Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet from due process after he was nabbed on a shopping trip to Harrods? Now judicial investigations have revealed that Pinochet was a corrupt crook, milking the Chilean State for millions of US dollars that he stashed away in the prestigious top-drawer Riggs Bank in the United States. He was unable to cover his tracks for those crimes.(4)"

Well, if you haven't, get on over to ZNET and read it. It's under global
economics. Solo.

my goodness. what a day

2004-11-05T09:54:00.000-08:00

I got up today, went down and exercised, went for a run with my cute little
dog. and now what?
It seems that Asscroft is leaving office. I wonder why that is. Does he want
to spend more time molesting little boys after after church? Does he need to
be more of a leader for his mountain KKK group, since being attorney general has
been taking too much of his time away from them? Who knows, but it's good news
all the same. Perhaps Howard Dean can take over for him.HA!

Really funny thing I saw as I got back here, from my usual little rounds
around the round internet. Then Winky Leak has posted a wonderful picture
representation of the Nazis currently running our government.
You can find it HERE!

And the wonderful usa military has "stepped up attacks in Falluja". Their so
intelligent, ain't they?!?!?! You'd think since they don't actually have to go
in there, that they would stay out of there. But NOOOOOOOooooooooooo!
Okey-Dokey, have a great day, and I will see you Sunday morning!

The biggest problem here is that we've got a shit-pile government run by
