Twenty Easy Steps

... to become an irritating jackass! Zombie instructions! Egads, if I talk about the same ridiculous things over and over again, then it must be the Truth!

They come to eat your brains. I think the best way to fight the Zombies is to poison the brains so when they try to eat them, they go crazy. Crazy Zombies without access to fresh brains are predisposed to destroy themselves. The only effective poison, though, is knowledge of the science that underlies existence. It attaches itself to the natural structures of the brains, causing a contradiction between the Zombies physical existence and the alternate reality in which they dwell. Consciousness implodes, the brains melt like a six month-old turkey sandwich, no mayo. Dementia turns the Zombies against each other, and those infected to varying degrees make war over the truth of their perception.

Poison your brains.

Let's Call Him: "H-Bomb"

Fucking automobile industry strikes again.

If you can't find humor in the idea of George Bush blowing himself up, not in a religious or political fervor, but because he's a fucking moron ... then what? I have no idea. Give up. It would've been perfect, on the symbolic level. A tyrant who knows nothing of the world destroys himself in a trivial act of ignorance; it doesn't get better than that. On the human level ... talk about natural selection. Derrrrp! Does this fork go in the wall socket?! Derrrrp! If only the unrepentantly ignorant would get rapped on the hand now and again to remind them that the head does not belong in the ass ... Being dumb needs to hurt.

Get This Meat OFF-AH Me!

What Booman says.

The war in Iraq will have consequences. One of those consequences will be a renewed vigor on the left, as it has devised tools to overcome the crap served up to us by the Washington political establishment. The only way the progressive backlash can be avoided is if it is stopped in its tracks by the nomination of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee. If that happens, it won't be possible to stop a massive splintering on the left and will not matter how many people write STFU diaries or invoke the ghost of Ralph Nader. People should be well advised to oppose her nomination NOW, so that we go forth with unity and take the White House AWAY from the establishment that got us into this mess.

It's the system, stupid. Putting carbon copies of the gears needed to effectively run the Machine for perpetuity is obviously not the best way to change our course from destruction to progress. Whether they have D or R after their names matters not (though I haven't encountered an R with any grasp of intellectual honesty). Content of character (integrity and intelligence and ideas as opposed to wankery, platitudes, and assertions of faith) is what matters now, and ought always have been the case. Sadly, it has not.
