The Last American Virgin…

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

virgin stores

The immaculate consumption is coming to an end.

Don’t you folks feel a little nervous about the news that there won’t be any more virgin stores here in the U.S.?

The main reason the terrorists hate us is because we have virgin stores where we buy our virgins. People living in Arabia and other places usually have to undergo a horrific death in order to get to see some virgins.

We’ll be losing more than just a retail outlet when the virgins stores are shuttered later this year. We’ll be losing a place for virgins, as well as nerds, geeks, dweebs and freaks to commune in their all black gothic gear or their multi-colored skinny jeans.

Where will all the virgins with pierced lower lips and tattoo sleeves get together to listen to Kings Of Leon? BTW, copp that!

So much of our identity as Americans is wrapped up around our consumption of the things that entertain us. I’m lucky enough to live in an area where I can go to a huge library or museum or even an off-Broadway performance to satisfy my need to commune with others, but for those of you living in regions that are lacking the cultural communal options that I have you may just be forced to following the arabic method of getting yourself next to some virgins.

In America, the big box store is our temple of consume, our mosque to marketing, our church of cha-ching.

The mall is our cathedral to commerce.

Fuck you sons of BERNARD MADOFF for snitching on the golden calf.

The Bluster And The Busker…

busker

On the heels of BOBBY JINDAL’s recent G.O.PU~ we get to witness the unraveling of the current Republican party chairman MICHAEL STEELE.

STEELE was another slack attempt by the GOP to court diversity and reshape the image of the party into something a little less kneejerk and a lot more hip. The idea that just putting some color on some shit makes something current is PU~ in itself, but when you lack swagger as badly as the Republicans do you too would think MICHAEL STEELE was the answer.

Over the weekend STEELE was a guest on the D.L. HUGHLEY show and he commented that RUSH LIMBAUGH was not the de facto leader of the Republican party and that RUSH was an “ugly, incendiary entertainer”. On Monday morning LIMBAUGH opened a can of whoop ass so big that by that very afternoon STEELE was scrambling to issue an apology in the press.

LMFAO! I have been waiting for this douche STEELE to get bitchslapped by a Democrat, but this is even more enjoyable to peep his public PU~ from the hands of the true voice of the Republican party. LIMBAUGH didn’t just give STEELE a veritable ‘Ho Sit Down!’, he called for STEELE’s head on his talk radio show.

“Why are you running the Republican Party?

Why do you claim you lead the Republican Party when you seem obsessed with seeing to it that President Obama succeeds?

I would be embarrassed to say that I’m in charge of the Republican Party in the sad-sack state that it’s in.

If I were chairman of the Republican Party, given the state that it’s in, I would quit.”

Oh. Shit.

Now that STEELE has been shown to be the dancing monkey how soon before the Republicans put another face in his chairman seat in order to make inroads for the 2009 local elections?

MICHAEL STEELE got pwn3d so badly he won’t be able to raise one red cent (Ha. Socialism) for the Republicans.

Here’s to hoping that the Grand Ol’ Party continues the PU~ all year long.

Someone get SARAH PALIN on the phone.

Racism From The NYPost?!? Really…

nypost

There isn’t too much for me to add to this story that Jay Smooth didn’t already nail in his razor sharp video weblog.

Watch it again…

At the screening for ‘Do The Right Thing’ I was happy to see that Spike Lee remembered the media exaggeration and fearmongering that was put into play for the premiere of the movie. Spike also raised the most thought provoking point that he learned from that experience. The mainstream media inundated him with the same question, “Why does the lead character throw the garbage can through the window?” Spike was NEVER asked why the supporting character is killed and carted off by the police.

Americans love their shit. Human life? Not so much. We love our sneakers, our Polo sweaters, our plasma screen televisions and our way of life that puts value in shit over people. I have encountered several so-called progressive citizens who have their arms folded and are tapping their feet waiting for the magic mulatto president to wave his wand. These people still want to be rescued by anyone but themselves. We are not just a nation of cowards, but a collective of lazy cowards as well.

Trafficking in fear is cheap and easy. This is nothing new from the editors at the NYPost. Quiet as it is kept, this is the engine behind the NYTimes as well. I would advise those of you who have invested your emotions in the success of this presidential administration(and this nation, for that matter) to remain focused on the goals of restoring our educational systems and our civilian manufacturing industries. The racists cartoonists will bring their bile to the web as soon as the supremacist media conglomerates are out of print. The racists aren’t moving forward, but the rest of us should be.

Shifting Personnel And Policy…

troops

Hooray! The U.S. will begin plans to draw down their forces in Iraq.

Booo! The president just signed off on more than 30,000 troops to be sent to Afghanistan.

This is essentially double-speak. The American people want all of their children home from the middle east. Not simply to have them moved into the house next door which has become as dangerous as Iraq once was. Afghanistan has been producing opium at the highest levels ever since the U.S. started dropping bombs in 2001.

With a global economic crisis on the horizon the one crop that doesn’t seem to lose its luster is the narcotic type. The U.S. poured all kinds of resources into Iraq to wrest control of the petroleum production. Is this troop surge in Afghanistan for the purpose of controlling the opium trade.

If so at least we will have access to awesome painkillers when the shit hits the fan.

Twitter Is Killing Shit…

army twits

Twitter goes to the front lines in Baghdad.

Congressman Twitters, Raises Security Concerns

The real issue with Twitter is that the army doesn’t want their soldiers Twittering about how life sucks in the military.
