And kids whose guts are fucking froze.

Help make ragheads see the light.
Tiny tots, with their balls all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Chimpy's on his way.
He's loaded lots of fucking napalm on his sleigh.
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna cry,
When their blackened peckers start to fry.

And so, he's offering this simple phrase
To any ass who thinks he has a clue:
Although it's been said many times, many ways,
You sand niggers are through.

GravatarWell, totally off the free associative thread, but for Christmas I'm giving myself the gift of telling my loathesome and tyrannical chauvanistic boss to go f*ck himself. With another job secured within 2 days of learning that he was going to use me to get through a sales campaign, and then dump my ass before the bonus could come through. I'm curious, but not concerned, about how well that campaign will do when I quit without notice just before the two most critical weeks when customers are making their purchase decisions.

For a guy who knows it all, it was pretty damn stupid to tip that hand and give me a month's notice of what was going to go down.

I feel downright giddy! Ho ho frickin' ho indeed!

(And when I turn in the company car, it's going to have a cassette in the player, cued up to Beck's "Soul Sucking Jerk", which will play the moment the vehicle is started. Just, you know, one more for the road.)

GravatarI was just over at Smirking Chimp and they are full of interesting stuff today.

"US Army plagued by desertion and plunging morale"

caught my eye.

The article probably doesn't say anything anyone here doesn't know at least in concept. But I found it concise.

A point they made was the stretched thin aspect of the military and what happens when a new war shows up.

And then today in the newspaper, Hackworth was weighing in on the recruitment issue.

Personally, I can't see any way past a draft. On the other hand, I do not see anyway of winning this "fight?" with the current methods and leaders in place.

Which got me to thinking. I can think of many Generals, Admirals and others from World War II who were frequently cited in the news. Yes I know some of them were primadonnas, but they still had the stuff needed to direct the course of the war. They showed a face of the leadership often somewhere in the theater of operations, actively fighting the enemy. Even during DS I, Schwarzkoph(sp?) was notable. But during this conflict, we had Tommy Franks. And his contribution seemed more towards the press conference and we saw little of his interaction as a planner and leader. Who do the G.I.'s have to look up to? Rumsfeld, telling everyone he is old? Wagging his little fingers around and looking angry over a basic question. If this is the test of the man's meddle, then what does he do when it really gets hot?

GravatarStill with the anal sex thing? I thought last night probed the depths of that subject. The penetrating insites were thoroughly stimulating, but I was a little taken aback by how quickly some of the most erudite of us here (I'm looking at you Thersites and Philalethes) jumped into the morass.

GravatarTime was, you could be sure your money was more secure with the government than invested in Ken Lay's company.

That was before the Ken Lays started running the government. Now you're pretty sure to lose it either way.

OK, back to anal (and oral) sex.

Gravatarit's amazing how well KC fits into the iPod paradigm. 70s disco becomes new again on our Pods. I have most of KC, and Donna Summer (and a few AWB tracks) and all the variations of Rose Royce's Wishing on a Star, qued up in the same playlist with Gang of Four and Television and Mission of Burma.

70s retro went away too quickly. I notice how 80s stuff has already replaced it in the KCRW Online rotation. aaargh.

GravatarI had a second job as a DJ in a disco in the late 70's for a while, never really got into the disco thing. Finally had enough and brought some of my own stuff to work. Played "Stranglehold" and "Helter Skelter" and was fired the next day. Ironically enought, the dance floor was packed for those songs.

GravatarI like listening to KCRW and KUCI and WMBR on the Net. the radio makes me understand the ongoing variations that make music exciting. it might be a commodity, but it's always already new for the kids. and the kids are all right.

Minister Terry Fox:

Liberals are evil.
Most of the ministers of churches and their followers are lost.
God's been kicked out of the public schools.
A biblical view will put an end to this nonsense in America.
Women are joining cults and going to hell.

I'd like to thump his skull.

Or maybe, just maybe, he needs some extra good anal sex.

Intentionality is a funny thing. sometimes you think you are saying one thing when in fact you are talking about the spermatoza count of a school of roe, swimming upstream, begetting and begatting.

as to meaning, the hermeneutical circle is like a a long row, filled with ho's weilding hoes, and their intentions are not good. trust me on this one. intention and meaning are like the Scylla and Charybdis between which rock's hard place is defined.

The flood happened just before Thanksgiving. It rained here in Austin for 7 days straight, and the ground just couldn't take any more water. I went to bed early, my fiance went to bed at 1:30 AM. At 2:30, I reached for my glasses to see what time it was, and found that our entire house was under inches of nasty water.

We have to replace all the floors. And raise the house. And replace the drywall up to four feet.

And our insurance covers the structure, but not the contents. Such as the books...

Good times.

Gravatarseems like both nick K and tom F are on a kick to round up fresh troops for our ongoing war on terror/promotion of freedom in Iraq (not to be confused with Iran) as the "elections" approach. spot the logical fallacies in the following paragraph of manana's NYT:

"The situation in Iraq is a microcosm of what is going on in the whole Middle East today. Everywhere you turn, the debate is over but the fight is not - because determined minorities are determined to thwart the will of majorities, and the majorities are too weak or divided to push back. The vast majority of Israelis want to get out of Gaza, but a determined, potentially violent, fanatical Jewish minority has been holding them back. Among the Palestinians, the debate is over, but the fight is not. Most Palestinians clearly want an end to the conflict with Israel and a chance to live a normal life, but a determined minority from Hamas has been resisting. Most NATO countries (I hope) would prefer a decent outcome in Iraq, but a determined minority, more worried about an American success than an Iraqi failure, is holding NATO back."

"I wish y'all could see the tv crap that I'm watching right now."

funny you should mention, but i sometimes check in on my local Xtian Broadcaster, "Cornerstone" of Wall (i could NOT make that up if i tried,) PA.

and lately i have noticed that they have dropped nearly ALL of their home-made (and, i must say, HUGELY entertaining,) programming, and gone almost entirely with the "give us more money or God will hate you" variety of nationally syndicated material ("Hour of Healing" etc.) when they are not just plain doing the "pledge" shows, ala the PBS we all know and occassionally throw our socks at.

my theory--the Bush economy really is hitting the pocket-book of their donation base...to the point where you just can NOT con any more cash out of Granny, no matter how much you tell her that if she stops "tithing" it is like "stealing from God," if Granny is flat broke busted.

talk about eating your seed corn.

irony, anyone?

GravatarLibrarian, there's a big honkin' church on I-75 near Cincinnati -- I wish I could remember the name of it, I'm pretty sure it's just north of the exits where you get off for Kings Island -- one of those mothers with the animated signs that rival football stadiums. Last time I drove past, they were erecting this monstrous, and I mean like twenty feet tall or so, statue of the torso of Jesus with hands upstretched towards Heaven.

And I looked at it, and wondered how many collection plates intended to, oh, feed people went to paying for that mother.

Librarian,

That's the other half of the "show".
Shaming people into giving up money.

"Some people in this congregation aren't tithing. They know who they are. They make more money in a month than this church takes in every year.
When the plate comes around, they keep their hands in their pockets"...etc etc.etc., ad nasuem.

GravatarHere's todays Daily Dump report:

I took an interesting dump today. It was three to four broken logs that filled the bowl of the toilet, however there was no fartage present, and the stink factor was minimal.

I hope to rectify that tomorrow, so tonight I ate a bean salad.

Until tomorrow, this is Dapper Dan reporting from the crapper.

People firmly and resolutely do not believe in something for nothing. At least not in America, they don't.

Don't get me started.

GravatarThat's the other half of the "show".
Shaming people into giving up money.

"Some people in this congregation aren't tithing. They know who they are. They make more money in a month than this church takes in every year.
When the plate comes around, they keep their hands in their pockets"...etc etc.etc., ad nasuem.


Ach. Competing loathings going on here.

On the one hand, churches as carnies bilking the shills--well, that's just most distasteful.

On the other hand, the complacent rich piss me right the fuck off.

GravatarThat sucks ror. Peterborough ON (my neck o' the woods) had a major, major flood July 15 (2 years after another major summer flood). My parents' basement was full of water & sewage. Awful. They're finally getting everything back to normal - new furniture, carpet, wall treatments, etc. But a lot of the stuff is gone for good (like pictures & books).

But we'll all try to make sure you have a good holiday!

Gravatarcrap really bites.

I recommend that you report on your dumps, not try to eat them.

Here's a Daily Dump Report template:

1. Size of dump

2. Color of dump.

3. Consistency of dump.

4. Number of dumps.

5. Stick factor (1 no stink to 10 major stink)

GravatarSorry about your books, rorschach. I'd be inconsolable - especially any obscure stuff culled from hole-in-the-wall used book stores.

Thank you, Eli. Luckily, most (not all) of that stuff was up on shelves in "comics condoms" style plastic. My diss is on 50s pulp stuff, and those books survived, thankfully.

Gravatarand lately i have noticed that they have dropped nearly ALL of their home-made (and, i must say, HUGELY entertaining,) programming, and gone almost entirely with the "give us more money or God will hate you" variety of nationally syndicated material ("Hour of Healing" etc.)...

my theory--the Bush economy really is hitting the pocket-book of their donation base...


No, this is actually perfectly normal. Jim and Tammye Faye Bakker rose to prominence not because of their preaching prowess, but because they were such amazing fundraisers.

These TV evangelists (Robertson, Falwell, Oral Roberts once upon a long ago time) are always spending heavy and never making anything from advertisers: because their entire show is an advertisement. And as the income rolls in, they find more and quicker ways to make it roll out. Which means they need to find ways to make it roll in. Which means...

...and finally, it just becomes a vicious cycle. Unless you can turn it into a TV station (like Robertson), there's usually just no way to keep it going, and it collapses into scandal, or insolvency, or both.

Again and again and again...

GravatarI tell ya, RMJ.

"Yes, sir, I do...for the cover of a horror comic. A cover in bad taste, for example, might be defined as holding the head a little higher so that blood could be seen dripping from it, and moving the body over a little further so that the neck of the body could be seen to be bloody," replied Gaines.

"You've got blood coming out of her mouth."

"A little."

GravatarRMJ--

i know the tele-begging is nothing new, but what i noticed is the change in this particular station.

they used to have these very poorly produced local programs (xtian moms cooking with mayonaise & mircowaves for the holidays, or "God's Diner" type of things,) but apparently they can't afford that now...it's ALL begging, ALL the time in the past few months--and somehow i find this to be encouraging. i think they are going under.

*

rorshach--definitely freeze, if you can, any rare or expensive books, but getting them through the recovery process won't be cheap.

if you can't freeze them, then put (white or unbleached) paper towells in between every page, stand them up if possible on their spines, and get some air blowing on them...warping and mold are your two big foes here.

your local library's Preservation people may have some advice for books, photos, etc.

Vote for it for the People's Choice Award Favorite Movie of the Year and piss off the right. They are trying to interfere in the awards.
http://www.pcavote.com/voting/fi.../film/ f01.shtml

"But then a group of top Republicans took out a full page ad in USA Today (and placed a similar one in the Hollywood trade magazine, Variety) proclaiming that "An election is over, but a war of ideas continues." The point of the ad was to say that while they, as right wing conservatives, were proud of getting rid of Kerry, there was still one more nuisance running around loose they had to deal with -- me! They also issued a not-so-subtle threat to the Academy Awards voters that, in essence, said don't even THINK about nominating "Fahrenheit 9/11" for Best Picture. And Bill O'Reilly recently bellowed that if the Oscars recognize my work this year, Middle America will boycott Hollywood."

One of my cats is 12 yrs old, weighs 28 pounds, and thinks he is a kitten. He can cause real damage.

I've been lucky so far. Nothing is overturned or broken so far but he's only 1 pound. But the way he's eating I don't know.

GravatarMore on world class sleazey fuck, Bernie Kerik which will come as no surprise...:

While the nannygate facts are still emerging, Kerik's reputation has been unraveling since he reached to become homeland security secretary. A Daily News probe published today finds, most damningly, that as correction commissioner, Kerik leaned on friends for thousands of dollars in gifts that he never reported, as required by law. Kerik's pals, including a businessman who later pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge, told reporter Russ Buettner of subsidizing Kerik's lavish 1998 wedding, buying top-of-the-line furniture for Kerik's baby daughter's room and providing Kerik with a bejeweled, ceremonial badge from Tiffany's.

When a correction officer or cop grabs like that, they call it being on the pad. It's a short trip off the force, or behind bars.

Then there was the disclosure that Kerik had filed for personal bankruptcy in 1987; and the Newsweek report that an arrest warrant was issued for Kerik when he failed to pay a $5,000 bill in 1998; and the $6 million in profit he earned selling stock in a company that sold stun guns to the Department of Homeland Security; and the use of city detectives to track down his book editor's lost cell phone; and the use of other cops to gather info for his autobiography, a stunt for which Kerik was fined $2,500 by the Conflicts of Interest Board.

"If you have weaklings around you who do not share your biblical values, shed yourself of them," wrote Bob Jones III, president of the eponymous South Carolina university, to President Bush after the election. "Put your agenda on the front burner and let it boil."

An open letter to Europe

Hi. Are you nuts?

Forgive me for being so blunt, but your reaction to our reelection of President Bush has been so outrageous that I’m wondering if you have quite literally lost your minds. One of Britain’s largest newspapers ran a headline asking “How Can 59 Million Americans Be So Dumb?”, and commentators in France all seemed to use the same word – bizarre -- to explain the election’s outcome to their readers. In Germany the editors of Die Tageszeitung responded to our vote by writing that “Bush belongs at a war tribunal – not in the White House.” And on a London radio talk show last week one Jeremy Hardy described our President and those of us who voted for him as “stupid, crazy, ignorant, bellicose Christian fundamentalists.”

Of course, you are entitled to whatever views about us that you care to hold. (And lucky for you we Americans aren’t like so many of the Muslims on your own continent; as the late Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh just discovered, make one nasty crack about them and you’re likely to get six bullets pumped into your head and a knife plunged into your chest.) But before you write us off as just a bunch of sweaty, hairy-chested, Bible-thumping morons who are more likely to break their fast by dipping a Krispy Kreme into a diet cola than a biscotti into an espresso – and who inexplicably have won more Nobel prizes than all other countries combined, host 25 or 30 of the world’s finest universities and five or six of the world’s best symphonies, produce wines that win prizes at your own tasting competitions, have built the world’s most vibrant economy, are the world’s only military superpower and, so to speak in our spare time, have landed on the moon and sent our robots to Mars – may I suggest you stop frothing at the mouth long enough to consider just what are these ideas we hold that you find so silly and repugnant?

We believe that church and state should be separate, but that religion should remain at the center of life. We are a Judeo-Christian culture, which means we consider those ten things on a tablet to be commandments, not suggestions. We believe that individuals are more important than groups, that families are more important than governments, that children should be raised by their parents rather than by the State, and that marriage should take place only between a man and a woman. We believe that rights must be balanced by responsibilities, that personal freedom is a privilege we must be careful not to abuse, and that the rule of law cannot be set aside when it becomes inconvenient.

Gravatarand in the right of purposeful and industrious entrepreneurs to run their businesses – and thus create jobs – with a minimum of government interference. We recognize that other people see things differently, and we are tolerant of their views. But we believe that our country is worth defending, and if anyone decides that killing us is an okay thing to do we will go after them with everything we’ve got.

If these beliefs seem strange to you, they shouldn’t. For these are precisely the beliefs that powered Western Europe – you -- from the Middle Ages into the Renaissance, on to the Enlightenment, and forward into the modern world. They are the beliefs that made Europe itself the glory of Western civilization and – not coincidentally – ignited the greatest outpouring of art, literature, music and scientific discovery the world has ever known including Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Shakespeare, Bach, Issac Newton and Descartes.


Europe is Dying

It is your abandonment of these beliefs that has created the gap between Europe and the United States. You have ceased to be a Judeo-Christian culture, and have become instead a secular culture. And a secular culture quickly goes from being “un-religious” to anti-religious. Indeed, your hostility to the basic concepts of Judaism and Christianity has literally been written into your new European Union constitution, despite the Pope’s heroic efforts to the contrary.

Your rate of marriage is at an all-time low, and the number of abortions in Europe is at an all-time high. Indeed, your birth rates are so far below replacement levels that in 30 years or so there will be 70 million fewer Europeans alive than are alive today. Europe is literally dying. And of the children you do manage to produce, all too few will be raised in stable, two-parent households.

Your economy is stagnant because your government regulators make it just about impossible for your entrepreneurs to succeed – except by fleeing to the United States, where we welcome them and celebrate their success.

And your armed forces are a joke. With the notable exception of Great Britain, you no longer have the military strength to defend yourselves. Alas, you no longer have the will to defend yourselves.

What worries me even more than all this is your willful blindness. You refuse to see that it is you, not we Americans, who have abandoned Western Civilization. It’s worrisome because, to tell you the truth, we need each other. Western Civilization today is under siege, from radical Islam on the outside and from our own selfish hedonism within. It’s going to take all of our effort, our talent, our creativity and, above all, our will to pull through. So take a good, hard look at yourselves and see what your own future will be if you don’t change course. And please, stop sneering at America long enough to understand it. After all, Western Civilization was your gift to us, and you ought to be proud of what we

U.S. Government Seizes Parody Comics At Customs

On October 27, U.S. Customs sent a letter to Top Shelf Productions notifying them that copies of the anthology Stripburger had been seized, charging that the stories "Richie Bush" by Peter Kuper and "Moj Stub" (translated, "My Pole") by Bojan Redžić, constituted "clearly piratical copies" of registered and recorded copyrights. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has retained counsel to challenge these seizures.

"Richie Bush," appearing in Stripburger (Vol. 12) #37, is a four-page parody of Richie Rich, that also satirizes the Bush Administration by superimposing the personalities of the President’s cabinet on the characters from the comic. "My Pole," appearing in Stripburger (Vol. 3) # 4-5, which was published in 1994, is an eight-page ecology parable in Serbian that makes visual homage to Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and Woodstock in three panels. Customs seized five copies of the issue with the Peanuts reference and fourteen copies of the issue containing “Richie Bush.” The stories were both published in the middle of their respective issues and no graphics from either story appeared on the covers.

Top Shelf is the American agent for Stripburger, an Eastern European comics publisher that releases anthologies of comics from cartoonists around the globe. The comics that were seized were sent along as an extra in a shipment of The Miniburger Dirty Dozen, a boxed set of mini comics that Top Shelf imported to offer in the Direct Market and at conventions. Top Shelf did not order the seized issues of the anthology.

Upon investigating the shipment, Customs released the copies of Miniburger, but held the issues of Stripburger, giving Top Shelf thirty days to either forfeit the shipment, request administrative relief, or initiate court action.
