Pastors Say the Dumbest Thing

You know I find it funny that Barack Obama gets hung up because his Pastor said some stupid (albeit kind of true) stuff. However, John McCain gets a free pass when he gets endorse by Pastors John Hagee and Rod Parsley , McCain gets a free pass. Maybe its the lack of video of John Hagee and Rod Parsley espousing their own radical views...

Like... When John Hagee The U.S. State Department is inviting a "bloodbath" from God:



Or like the time John Hagee insisted that George Washington was making a tribute to the Jews:



Or like the time John Hagee equated Catholics with Nazis:



Or Rod Parsley insisting that Gay Rights isn't necessary because Gays might change their mind:



Or Rod Parsley ... just being a bigot:



Yeah, too bad there isn't video of any of those prominent Pastors who have endorsed John McCain, making radical, racist, and downright looney statements. Too bad John Hagee didn't do an hour long interview with Glenn Beck about how he believes the world is about to end.

Yeah, it is just too bad none of that video ever existed, because I am sure if it did the Mainstream media might be asking John McCain to reject and denounce their support.

Things to Do with the Flu

Like everyone else in America I was knocked down with the flu for the last week and a half of February. Seeing as being bed ridden is as good an excuse as any I caught up on my TV on DVD watching. First two seasons of 'DEXTER', a little 'LOST', and ' Band of Brothers'.

I also popped in the only season of 'Firefly', finally. I got to admit I never really cared for 'Firefly' when it was on TV, and I have never been a fan of Joss Whedon's work. The TV version of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' had its moments, but all in all Whedon always seemed like the Diablo Cody of the 1990s. Surfing on the seas of Cool Hip that were twenty miles wide and about an inch deep. Everything he wrote or directed felt like a mental revenge fuck for whatever happen to Whedon in high school. No doubt that kind of storytelling has its audience, but I've always found it tiresome, always wanting to scream, "GET OVER IT".

So, with that frame of mind, I was surprised when I actually came out on the other end of "Firefly" liking it. Hold on, Browncoats. I said, Like, Not In Love With. I still thought the Premise was confused and a bit goofy. It is easy to see that when Firefly was being developed that no real thought was given to the world beyond just creating a cross-cultural mash up. No one really had an explanation for why everyone in a spacefaring culture had reverted back to the 1800s in every other way, or why Winchester rifles shoot lasers, or why so many colonized planets had indigenous life exactly like Earth. The design seemed to go about as far as, "Oh this is KEWL!" and no further.

But, if you looked past all that, and basically gave into the premise, I really liked 'Firefly'. It was definitely worth the twenty bucks I spent at Target. And it made me want to track down a copy of "Serenity" on DVD.

Ding Dong the Witch Isn't Dead...

... Even though she should be.

There are nights I am proud to be an American, there are nights I want to move to France, and then there are nights where I personally want to strangle about 70% of the U.S. Voting Population. This night it is the most later of those feelings. Tonight I learned that Ohio joins Florida in the category of states that can't vote straight. Tonight I learned that if you fear-monger and bait based on false claims you can try and steal a Presidential Nomination. Tonight I learned that Hillary Clinton's base consists of Old White Women with leathery interiors and souls to match, working trailer trash that are easily frightened at 3am, and Mexicans. Tonight I despise, not my country, but a majority of the soulless, moronic apes that populate it.

We could've had real change, we could've had a revolution. Instead we'll have a grinding fight all the way to the Democratic Convention in Denver where Hillary can steal a nomination just to blow up the Democratic Party and lose to John McCain. Four more years of death and blood in Iraq accompanied by impending economic collapse. That is blood that belongs on Hillary Clinton's hands and every moron that voted for her tonight.

For about a month I had Hope. Now I am just filled with dread. The only feeling of Hope I can muster up is Hope of grand protests in the streets of Denver in August, and lobbing tear gas grenades back at riot police. The hope that is the Democratic Convention is to be a mess, I can help make it a grandiose mess with a couple thousand people in the streets.

If Hillary Clinton steals the Nomination because the Shriveled Women and White Trash in Ohio gave her the opportunity I am officially done with the Democratic Party. I am done with this joke of a Country. And I am done with a majority of the sniveling simps that comprise the citizenry of this joke of a Country.

You all make me sick. You get the fascism, the war, the economic, and social decay you deserve.
