Sanity prevails

Well, a bit of sanity prevailed in one aspect of the whole Washington Redskins name imbroglio.  I had feared in this day and age of political correctness, the team would lose on all aspects of their challenges.  Now lets hope the Patent and Trademark Office will come to their senses on the appeal currently in progress.

WND; the gift that keeps on giving

So, I was perusing WND for shits and giggles and came across a couple of stories:

Shelly Bachmann's Ode to nuttiness.  I cannot impart how much contempt and disdain I have for this woman.  She personifies the birther, wingnut mindset.  The bitch didn't do anything worthwhile during her stint in Congress except spout off conspiracy theories and flatout lies. Yet, remarkably as shown in the comments in the linked article, a lot of people still believe she is the savior of Jeebus and Conservative America.  The difference between Bachmann and Pelosi?  Pelosis doesn't believe the shit coming out of her own mouth.  She is a professional politician and lies accordingly.  I believe Shelly believes everything she says, which I find a lot scarier.

And then there was this article about a Mosque in Georgia.  One of the things that pisses me off about a lot of Christians (not all of them, but a lot), is that they don't understand that our First Amendment guarantees of freedom of religion applies to everyone, not just Christians.  To some of these assholes, it seems their belief is "religious freedom for me, but not for thee". The city initially denied the Mosque a permit, but had approved other churches to operate in the same area.  When informed by the city attorney that they were looking at a probable lawsuit, and would most likely lose under RLUIPA, they quickly reversed course, and approved the Mosque's application.  Well, the people of the good {sarcasm} town* went apeshit as well as a lot of other God Fearin' true patriotic muricans.  Read the comments section in the linked article.  Granted, is is WND, which is festering with the illiterate, the dangerous, and the flatout batshit crazy nutters, but it is so funny these assholes post about the Constitution and don't even realize their arguments are anticonstitutional.  I laughed out loud at the delicious irony of one guy who posted this: "Liberals have an amazing capacity to reject reality".  So says someone posting on WND, the epitome of reality rejection.  Jesus wept.

*interestingly, this is the town that has the famous city ordinance requiring firearm ownership.

additionally, I realized this is the same county from the Fuck the Police story from Wednesday...Go Georgia, sooner or later you'll catch up to Oklahoma for redneck jackassery.

I hate the current crop of republican politicians

When I heard Obama's Cuba decision, I was waiting for the knee jerk response from politicians, more especially the republican ones.  Boy, I didn't have to wait long.  Marco Rubio led the way, with Lil' Teddy Cruz following along.  I can understand that people with Cuban heritage might have an extreme dislike for the Cuban government.  But WTF makes Cubans more special than Vietnamese, Chinese, or survivors from any other totalitarian regime that the U.S. recognizes and has diplomatic, if not economic ties with? I don't hear Rubio or Cruz stating we need to cut ties and start an embargo against China or Vietnam.  Fucking hypocritical douche bags.  Even a Democrat, Robert Menendez got a few swipes in at Obama.  Guess what?  He's Cuban as well.  Hey Douche bags, you fucking lost.  Castro won.  Get over it.  The embargo didn't fucking work.  I'm so tired of a small group of people living in the ass end of Florida affecting the the strategic diplomacy of our country.

Then there are the republicans, (Boehner, McCain, and Graham to name a few) who immediately started whining and barking.  I swear, Obama could state murder was bad and these assholes would object and call him a dictator overstepping his bounds with an unlawful and unconstitutional violation of a persons right to kill someone.  That's enough for now, I've worked myself up into a tizzy.  I need to go calm down.

Yes, I picked on Republicans this post.  However, its because they piss me off.  Dems just make me laugh with disdain because of their holier than thou social, economic, and enviromental justice themes.  The current republicans scare me more than the SJWs of the democrats.

I want a Cuban cigar

The pussification of the United States

So... I came across this article that basically says animated movies for children are bad, and as parents, we should be careful what we let them watch.  The article mentions Bambi, The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and others.  Seriously????? Bambi?? Finding Nemo??   I watched Bambi as a child with no lasting harm... hell, millions have watched these movies with no lasting harm.  What is with these people?  Oh noes, dey killed bambi's mom, Simba's dad, and Nemo's mom...BFD. We can't protect our children from life itself.  Look, when shit happens (and it will), if they don't have some reference to base their life experiences on, then they are going to be shit out of luck.  Life is sometimes hard and unfair.  These movies teach kids from an early age that they can overcome life's obstacles; or as they say in "Galaxy Quest," never give up, never surrender.  If the trend keeps on this path, we will have a nation of pussies, if we don't already.

Woman says, "Fuck the Police" to some cops, they get an incurable case of butthurt, she gets paid.

A woman in Georgia was arrested for yelling "Fuck the Police" and giving the finger to some cops.  Well, those poor little angels in blue just couldn't stand that a citizen treated them with such disrespect, so in a rage of butthurt, they arrested her for disorderly conduct.

AssHat of the Week

Saturday Quick Hits

The Dollar Shave Club

So I joined the Dollar Shave Club.  I figured I would give it a shot, but had doubts as to how well their blades would compare to the Mach3.  I had ordered the Executive and the shave butter.  Last night was my first chance to try it out.  How did it go?

Hypocrite Thy Name Is… ModeratarianMan?

I generally do not have a lot of patience or tolerance with drug abusers.  However, I am not a drug warrior.  I do not believe in prohibition.  I would really love to see marijuana be legalized.  Would I smoke it?  Probably not, just because I do not like the way it makes me feel.  I would not even mind all the other controlled substances being legalized, regulated, and taxed.  It would not totally eliminate the black market; that market will always be there.  Do not believe me?, just take a look at Appalachian area with moonshine, or the smuggling and selling of untaxed cigarettes.  Legalization would reduce the black market to a substantial degree but I digress.

I have personally seen drug abusers destroy their lives and the lives of their family, simply because they would not stop abusing drugs.  The destruction came in the way of stealing from their family, physically assaulting their family, and in some instances, the death of a relationship between a husband and a wife, because one of the two would enable their child and the child's drug addiction.  Because I have seen what it has done to some of my own family members (not in my immediate family), I do not have a lot of tolerance for drug abusers.  Now, I do know that there are some individuals who have an addictive personality.  There is something about them, and in a lot of cases it is hereditary, that keeps them on whatever their abuse.  However, I still feel they could stop the drug abuse if they really wanted.  I believe that in most cases, these people do not want to stop their behavior.  By the age of 19, I had sampled almost all the Schedule I and Schedule II substances, more than once for most of them.  I did not have a problem stopping any of them.  I feel everyone should be able to stop using any of these substances, though it may be hard, if they actually wanted to.

con't after the jump

The CFP sucks dirty donkey balls!

TCU got screwed, but I'm not surprised; pissed, but not surprised.  It still amazes me that NCAA football still can't get it right.  Just about every other sport is able to have a valid playoff.  For some dumbass reason, college football still cant get it done.  For the longest time, the champion was picked by sports writers, which was the dumbest thing ever.  Then we had the BCS, which was stupid and corrupt.  I had a glimmer of hope when they announced the formation of the CFP.  However, the glimmer was soon dashed when I found out  there would only be four teams, and another committee would select the teams.  SETTLE IT ON THE FUCKING FIELD, not in a hotel conference room.  The selection chairman said Ohio State earned their spot.  I want to punch that weasel motherfucker in the mouth.  Why weren't they number three last week then, you cooze sniffing asshat?

SETTLE IT ON THE FUCKING FIELD!!!!


I'm tempted to start a weekly feature: AssHat of the Week 

 

Of course the inaugural recipient would be the CFP Selection Committee.

congratulations you jizz sniffing, shit-for-brains, douche nozzles

ignorant facebook asshats

I didn't actually plan on posting today, but I ran across something that just totally pissed me off.  Now, I know a lot of Facebook users tend to believe anything they see online, or in chain emails, but Jesus Hussein Christ, can't people do a little research before they spout off and make themselves look like idiots?  I'm speaking of course of the tweet showing a Ferguson protester with a sign that says, well, I'll just show you what it says

Only one problem, the sign didn't really say that.  Want to see what it really said?

Bill Cosby

When icons fall, it's troubling.  It sounds like there may be humongous troubling news for a lot of people because Ol' Bill Cosby may be into some trouble.  Nineteen woman have come forward accusing Cosby of drugging them and molesting/raping them.  Of course Ol' Bill is innocent until proven guilty; but you know the old saying "where there is smoke, there is fire"?  Well, Cosby has a goddamn forest fire going on.

Internet shopping kicks ass

I've never been a "Black Friday stand in line for midnight deals" kind of guy.  Dealing with all the dumb asses out there would drive me to homicide. However, I do love Cyber Monday.  It makes shopping easy and without the hassle of interacting with all the dip shits in the world.  I've got most of my shopping done.  Special thanks to Amazon.com who had had just about everything I was looking for.  I bought stuff for the wife, stepson, daughter and others.
