Martial Talk: Governor Romney’s Guide to the Military Landscape of Modern Day Europe

October 25, 2012 in Other Cultures, Politics

Now that former Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Mitt Romney has educated us to the FACT that the Russian Empire is the biggest geopolitical threat facing the Several States, it becomes even more important for the distinguished citizenry of this great nation to recognize the other major players that could affect the outcome of a new European war. Remember, the landscape is constantly changing, and the allies of today may become our foes of tomorrow. Additionally, rapid advances in technology have changed the balance of power among the major players of Europe. Read the rest of this entry →

One Hundred Years of Solitude: Eastwood’s Monodialogue Dissected

September 1, 2012 in Politics

Did you see Clint Eastwood’s bizarre and painfully unfunny speech at the Republican National Convention?

I’ve watched it five times today, and now that I’m drunk, I think I’m ready to give it my all-caps blow-by-blow response.

Here we go!

The Motor City Mad Man Loses A Fan – An Open Letter to Ted Nugent

April 18, 2012 in Music, Politics

This Image is More Than You Deserve

Dear Ted:

I hope that you don’t mind me addressing you in the familiar in spite of the fact that we’ve never been formally introduced. You see, I feel as though I know you because from the years of 1981 to 1984 I spent many of my allowance drachmas collecting your music in vinyl, plastic, and magnetic 8-track tape. Although 8-track was kind of a rip off because of the song capacity—and they were really bulky. I’m not sure why we thought that was the way to go back then, but I digress. I liked your music. Still do. Read the rest of this entry →

240,000 tonnes of food; The Political Culture of Starving Yourself

April 17, 2012 in Politics, Rants

“Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by excessive food restriction and fear, irrational fear of gaining weight, and a distorted body self-perception” –Wiki

Self Esteem Self Esteem Self Esteem! I Say. And North Korea!

Self Esteem is an evaluation of worth, but being a Worthless Emo I would also write a book on the topic. I will not be writing a book on the topic. Read the rest of this entry →

Bobby Franklin, 1957 – 2011

August 5, 2011 in Politics, RIP

Bobby Franklin, a Republican State Representative from East Cobb, Georgia, who outraged many and often out-tead the Tea Party, died in his sleep last week at the age of 54.

He believed that the country had lost its way by turning its back on God, and was determined to see it return to what he saw as its Christian roots.  To say that Franklin, who represented the 43rd District, believed in limited government would be an understatement.  “We’ve really adopted all 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto in one form or another in this country,” he said.  (Ironically, the state couldn’t wither away fast enough for him.)

Not Another Weiner Joke

June 9, 2011 in Politics

As some of you may have heard, Congressman Anthony Weiner (8==D-NY) exchanged a series of salacious sexts and steamy photos with a gaggle of twenty-something female admirers. Naturally, this is the worst sex scandal to ever happen to a politician. Ever. As such, Rep. Weiner should step down. Oh ha! Sorry, just kidding. He should stick it out. And in. And out again. Because this will all blow over. Read the rest of this entry →

Confucian

April 29, 2011 in Politics

Our country needs to eat more Chinese food. Recently in one of my lazy “I have to file end of quarter taxes for the business . . . EVERYONE PANIC!” moments, I ordered some Chinese food. Since I tip the drivers so well, they always give me twice the number of fortune cookies than I am allowed to get based on my order. (It could also be that although we’re a family of three we order half the menu. What? We like variety.) Read the rest of this entry →

Your Thoughts On This Shutdown Thing

April 8, 2011 in Politics

Your news media is as excited as a drunken John McCain at a Ted Nugent concert over the actual threat that fading imperial power “The United States of America” is about to shutdown like a giant Macbook on a low battery. Yes – the virtual hard disks of the actual American government will go into hibernation unless the now-comically evil Republicans can stop quibbling with the now-comically useless Democrats like two old Jewish men over soup. There will be no more on-demand abortions of Christian babies, especially those abortions being held inside the Statue of Liberty, which will be closed to all – even to those wanting a novelty abortion in a national landmark – because there will be no government to do it! That museum where you hide from your job? Closed! Those soldiers who killed people in Rolling Stone magazine? Unpaid!

What exactly is going on, America? Your thoughts, besides those about “supporting the troopz”, are welcomed. I’d also like to know why you continually encourage Donald Trump to stalk your lands, shitting in your ears.

The ears of America.

What gives?

An Open Letter to Newt Gingrich

March 21, 2011 in Open Letters, Politics, republicans

Dear Newt-

You know, I really hope that you at least make it to New Hampshire in the upcoming 2012 GOP primary race. That is, if you can ever untangle the byzantine snarl of seedy, overlapping financial gimmes you’ve got going and actually declare yourself as a candidate. Read the rest of this entry →
