Do they pay you to screw that bear?

A note on decency: When waiting on line, on any line, it is a civil obligation that you wait for those in front of you to proceed first. Overtaking those in front of you as if they didn't exist at all is an expedient method for throwing common courtesy and domestic order to the bears. It is also one very effective way of getting punched in the fucking nose. Like Lonny Levine at recess in 4th grade. Am I the only one who gives a shit about the rules?

Speaking of rules, it would be nice if our Justice Department followed them. Justice cannot exist at any degree if the system through which it is administered is fundamentally perverted. Not just law-breaking (which isn't in-itself a bad thing; we all know that there are many laws that are in themselves incredibly unjust), but cheating in general is a convention that is instilled from the top down. Our leaders have institutionalized dishonesty and condoned the treatment of individuals as faceless means to whatever whim they will. Think about everyone you know on a personal level who has sacrificed their integrity to get something at the expense of another. I challenge you to tell me you don't know anyone who fits that description. You're lying (probably). Maybe I'm wrong and accountability, no matter how delayed, usually catches up to wrongdoing. Like those cold case murder shows on A&E. Seventy year-old guy gets a knock on his door, finds out he's going to jail for that murder he committed 40 years ago. He didn't get away with it after all. The problem is that somebody is dead. The problem is that somebody always pays when you fuck with the natural balance. You might get yours eventually, but nobody is going to be able to restore the balance completely. I think we have passed the critical point, where we as a community have passively accepted injustice to such a degree that we have lost the ability to render any semblance of Justice at all. Are we the savages?

That may have been pretty heavy, so now something ... pretty heavy. Holy Joe Lieberman (Shitfacedcockmaster-CT) thinks that Americans haven't been doing their part in the "War on Terror" and would like to introduce a ... new tax! If the current budget offered by Bushface passes, we will have paid, as a nation, over $600 billion dollars on this ... war. This war that is being waged in the name of National Security, though it has demonstrably and irreversibly made America less secure (in no small part by having turned the rest of the world into a violent, unstable vacuum for extremism to fester and explode). There are twenty people in the world who want this madness to continue. Joe Lieberman loves war. He is also a dishonest, weasel-faced fuckwad. From the new issue of The New Yorker:

Lieberman likes expressions of American power. A few years ago, I was in a movie theatre in Washington when I noticed Lieberman and his wife, Hadassah, a few seats down. The film was “Behind Enemy Lines,” in which Owen Wilson plays a U.S. pilot shot down in Bosnia. Whenever the American military scored an onscreen hit, Lieberman pumped his fist and said, “Yeah!” and “All right!”

What a douche. It's not like he was watching a good war movie .. he was watching a fucking war movie with fucking Owen Wilson as the goddamned hero and during the most sanitary U.S. foreign adventure in our history! Goddamn it!

To reiterate - FUCK THE DEVILS! Fuck this government. Fuck fraternities. Fuck the salad chopper at Lenny's who didn't chop my salad. Fuck every asshole who doesn't understand that you cannot walk through people.
