Dude, could this world get any more fucked up?

I thought Montgomery Blair Sibley, the kilt-wearing lawyer who represented Larry Sinclair, the gay former drug dealer who accused Barack Obama of murder, was bizarre.





This fuckin' takes the cake

"Sanaa, Yemen: US lawyer David Remes, who
represents 16 Yemeni prisoners heldat Guantánamo Bay,
takes his trousers offduring a press conference.
He was demonstrating the mistreatment suffered by his clients."

It's a big fuckin' circus, out there, and I am
getting plenty of popcorn and a front-row seat.

I wouldn't miss this for the world.

Cynthia McKinney made me wet myself

I laughed a deep, hearty laugh of contentment and bewilderment at the sheer insanity of it all when I read this story.

Cynthia McKinney to be 2008's Ralph Nader

"Beloved former congress-lady Cynthia McKinney is the Green Party’s presidential candidate! She’s in it to win! The Greens had a convention on Saturday, apparently, and McKinney was the big winner. Her running mate is 'Rosa Clemente, a hip-hop artist and activist.' Well, all right.

McKinney represented Georgia in the House for six terms, and then she slapped around a cop or something, and said Bush did 9/11, and the Jews ran her out of office, and she impeached Bush, in her mind. Experts say she will end up with about 47% of votes intended for McCain, because their names are pretty much the same."

This is why I love multiparty democracy. For the sheer entertainment value.

Bobb Barr (a candidacy I'm hoping does some real good for the country, actually). Ralph Nader. Cynthia McKinney. Chuck Baldwin from the Constitutional Party.

This election is going to be a blast.

I have an old political buddy from college coming up next week. And we are going to drink some quality, bargain beer, lament how fuckin' whiny and stupid the country has gotten, and laugh our asses off at what a fucked up election this is turning out to be.

I'm not sure this election could get any dumber, at this point.

But it's going to be fun testing the limits of retarded possibility.

Misery

I have decided, after long reflection, that some people just prefer miserable lives. They don't prefer them because they actually want them. They prefer them because they cannot even consider the fact that, perhaps, they have some responsibility in their own misery.

Being self-centered and defensive has consequences, as it turns out, and the consequences are more tragic than they might otherwise appear. And some peoples' self-imposed tragedies are not just sad, they are downright pathetic.
