This is truly brave. Many people talk a lot of junk, but if they actually had an "audience" with The War Criminal they wouldn't say squat.

Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, was the main speaker at the recent annual White House Correspondent's Dinner. Mr. & Mrs. War Criminal were right there. Holy Freakin Crap. I can't describe it and do it justice, so...

Here is the transcript.

Here are video clips of the speech, but be forewarned, the website they use to hold the video has explicit links to porn. I, personally, don't care, but some may - or you may not want to watch it at work.

This is sheer brilliance.

Addendum: Clipped clips of the video.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this story: Women break bra world record.

My first reaction was - why? Do you really have so little to do that THIS is how you spent your day? As I started reading the story I got a little more incredulous when I saw that the people were planning this for a year. A whole freakin year. Think of the things you could have done with that time.

But then came the thing that relatively shut me up. They did it to raise awareness for Breast Cancer. I'm not making light of this, but is there really anyone who doesn't live in the Appalachians who doesn't know about breast cancer? I mean you could have done something a little more effective than making a big-ass bra chain.

Then there was Reuters who actually covered it and Yahoo who put it on their headline list.

Oh well...we got to talk about boobies, so I guess that's a good thing.

While this isn't a mainstream media reporter- this chick rocks! Check out this clip from CNN. (wmv)

And you can get the rough transcript from Crooks & Liars.

Sweet.

And this is even better. (wmv) And Steven Colbert isn't even a real journalist!

The transcript from...of course...Crooks & Liars.

Even though C&L is pretty far up the Dems' asses, it's an awesome site!

The War Criminal has proposed that the federal government send everyone $100 due to the rising cost of gas. Problems with this include:

• It's our money anyway.


• The government is in debt, which means it will have to borrow to do this.


• One hundred bucks is a freakin joke.


• If we take the $100 and pay for gas with it, it's another handout to the oil companies.

[Speaking of gas - I hope you're only buying your gas from Citgo. That gas comes from Venezuala, not the Bush-friendly shieks. The company is owned by the people of Venezuala (whose president was democratically elected, more than once).]

BUT...in a way, I want this to happen. Why? Because I'm calling for everyone who gets that $100 to donate it to the Progressive political campaign of your choice...or split it up to different ones. Long-term investing, my friends.

Like an investment, you'll have to do your homework to get the best bang for your buck. Make sure you give your money to real Progressives.

Leftie pundits are wondering when the people are going to "rise up". What the hell does that mean? Are they calling for people to storm the White House? I am planning on compiling a list of candidates all over the country who are for actual change so we can send our money around. THAT is one way you can rise up. It will probably be an ongoing list as I'll have to wait for primaries to finish to see who to contribute to.

Stick that 100 bucks right up The War Criminal's ass!

Something that doesn't seem to be getting much press. The War Criminal was "calling" for a number of measures that would allegedly bring down gas prices. One of these was dropping anti-pollution requirements for gas makers - they could go back to making gas that's worse for the environment. While he wasn't saying we should have lead back in our gas - it's still a sneaky, right-wing way of continuing to mess with the environment.

I really do not understand this attitude most righties have. You will not have businesses at all if there is no air to breathe or clean water. How is this going over people's heads? It would be tougher to hate rich people if they took their mostly ill-gotten gains and started forming monopolies on renewable energy sources. If poor people can't stay alive due to bad health care & a ruined environment, who will the rich exploit then?

It just doesn't make sense.

I don't know if I'm the first person to say this, but US Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez is one creepy mother. Since the first time I heard him say that torture is OK, I've always had a weird feeling about this guy, but this takes the cake.

On the way home from work I was listening to the Rachel Maddow show. She played an audio clip from a speech Albie gave at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Alexandria, Virginia. He started talking about kiddie porn. I wish I could find the audio clip because just posting on it doesn't do it justice. Some of the "juicy" parts are in this article.

Me thinks he doth protest too much.

This guy really gets off on talking explicitly. He's down with torture. He's an evil, evil man. And his creepy voice doesn't help. This dude is not cool and I see sex scandal written alllllll over this guy.

You heard it here, first.

Good night & good news.

Every now and then we hear about some dumb law that was enacted a million years ago. Most of the time they center around sex, but not always.

This can't be a real law.

Today, some chick got into the ceremony between the War Criminal & Chinese leader Hu Jintao. I think it was pretty cool.

But go to the link and check out what she might get charged with:

a charge of intimidating or disrupting foreign officials also was being considered.

Is that a real law? That has to be made up. I know our politicians are the worst bunch of reactionaries, but this is ridiculous. What's next, using the wrong fork at a state function? Maybe, giving a government official the stink eye. How about making angrily writing out your check to the IRS.

If that's a real law then I want a law that charges politicians with disrupting American lives.

I'll admit it...I've become a Randi Rhodes fan. Since I've heard her interview on Vin Scelsa's Idiot's Delight I've been a fan. BUT, I gotta say that I disagree with her excuse for Democrats over the last 4 or so years - that they're the minority in Congress. I'm not disputing that they are - that's a fact. But they've rolled over. They haven't fought, in fact they've gone WITH the War Criminal in many instances.

So how has that worked out? If Dems fought every step of the way, would things be different? Probably not much, but it's an issue of integrity. Russ Feingold in the Senate, John Conyers in the House. Barbara Boxer stood up for a few months, but she's since disappeared. Don't even get me going on the Douchebag (Kerry for those who don't remember). Teddy? He freakin pushed No Child Left Untested.

I'm sorry. It's an excuse. Because Republicans had the majority is no excuse. Dems should have been in the protests. They should have filibustered over and over and over again. Look. This is an issue of people dying. Americans and others. Knowing now what we know about all the Bush family connections - REAL PATRIOTS would do everything possible to get to the bottom of this. They would embarrass the people in power to answer questions. They would be pushing the media to investigate.

And don't even get me started on Clintonbagger.

Are they Patriots? No. They're not. And the 3 regular readers here know that I'm a humanist. I really don't give a crap about patriotism. But there's never been a real humanist in our government. OK, that may not be true, but I don't know of one.

But I still dig Randi. If you can, go check out the WFUV archive and listen to the December 17, 2005 show. Heck, Here's the link to get it streamed. This is a cool station - check it out.

I'm just going to come out and say this. Some Brother...ANY brother has got to do something about Flavor Flav. This shit just ain't right. Chuck D, Bill Cosby, Erkel...anyone. For the sake of all that is good in this world - DO SOMETHING!

If I see that freaking show on at the gym one more time, I'm going to go roid rage on the TV.

I'd do it myself, but then it would be a racial thing. I'm surprised some Andrea Dworkin clone hasn't tried to run this dumbass over yet.

I know there's some stupid, shallow women out there. But these hoes (yes, that is the right word) want to be on TV so bad that they'd do THIS??? No...this just ain't right. Don't these women have mothers? Brothers? Friends? They must have all been molested as children.

I don't even want to know what the name of this show is. It's just gotta go. This is officially rock bottom. Chuck D, stop fighting the power and fight this damn show.

I live in Baseball USA. Seriously. Rochester, New York received that designation a few years back. I don't know if it's an annual thing, but I know we got it a few years ago, mainly for our minor league team - the Red Wings. Now, this isn't an indictment of the Red Wings, but I am using them to illustrate this situation.

I can't go to Red Wing games. No, it's because of any kind of incident (and I was never convicted). It's because the minor league umpires are on strike and all minor league games are using scab umpires. I realize it's not "reasonable" to expect the Rochester Red Wings to refuse to play in games that uses scab umpires - but if they did, it sure would make for great conversation.

I actually e-mailed the team to see how they would respond. I immediately got an e-mail that my inquiry was forwarded to the General Manager. No reply yet. I'm shocked.

A couple things that kills about this is that the life of a minor league ump is not all that great. You have to travel to places like...um...well, Rochester for one. How about Duluth, Akron, Midland, Kannapolis, Billings...did I mention Rochester? You get yelled at alot, it's not a year round job so you have to find temp work in the winter. And it's not all that safe a job.

Baseball is making record money, with higher attendence every year. They can afford to throw these guys some cash. It's not cool.

Minor League Baseball is threatening to fire them, like Reagan did to the Air Traffic Controllers in the 80's. And yet I don't see labor stepping up to help them. And then they wonder why unions don't have the power they once did. Like the Democrats, they've sold out to corporations and think about the short-term.

So I'm not going to a Red Wing game until the umps are back. I'm sure no one cares, but at least I know I'm doing what's right. So there.

I know...I know...I haven't been around much. Nothing overtly political today, just a story from my weekend and gratuitous skin. (let's see if we can get some traffic here)

I was in New Jersey over the weekend and I was a bad Green. I went to a restaurant that is the haven for gluttony. I think it's called Anthony's, but we refer to it as IHOM...The International House of Meat. I'm not lying...on the menu is the main choice...Steak. That's it. It just says "Steak". They don't play around with different cuts and spices and all that junk. You just get a big ass steak. And that's the regular one. It's 24 freakin ounces. Then they have the 48 ounce one. I'd only order that if I didn't have a way home and I needed to ride it out.

Now, I have to admit, I ate it all, including the potatoes. But it was 9:00 at night and the only thing I had to eat all day was Danish Kringle (don't ask). I felt like the worst Green in the world, but damn that was a good steak. Not something I eat often.

Needless to say, there weren't many skinny people in this place. I mean, it was the real life version of the Hungry Heffer from Cheers. I'm going to have a salad for dinner tonight - part for pennance, part for digestive health. Oy.

OK...it's been a little while since I've done this. I've checked the stats in terms of who comes to the website. I don't get names, but a lot of times I can find out the site you were at just before you got here. Isn't the internet a wonderfully creepy thing. And while there are still too many of you sick fuckers searching for "sexmom" on google, when I throw up pictures of volleyball porn...I mean players and that Ping Pong chick, Biba, you horny geeks come in droves. So here we go.

I can't find this picture in the other angle that made it look like something from Sapphic Erotica but this will do. From the last Summer Olympics, Misty May & Kerri Walsh...enjoy.



And if you've gotten your beach towel & lotion out on the living room floor, here is a blog with just pictures of them. Good Googly Moogly. Life, please....

Alright, alright. Don't think I forgot about all you table tennis freaks. Here you go:



How's that, boys?

We'll get into the serious next time.

Wow. It's been a week since I've posted. Sorry about that one. I've had some personal stuff going on...not bad...just stuff...and I haven't been able to sit down and think for a few days. This coming weekend's going to be the same, but for now...

Lefties are really getting moist over the whole Tom DeLay thing. But y'all better check yourself. We come back again to the point - you can't just sit around and wait for the Righties to implode. Will they? Yes. But if you don't have anything to take it's place then you're not going to make the impact you think. The House of Representatives isn't going to be just given to you. Though it probably feels that way right now.

People are also giving Howard Dean a bunch of love. I'm not seeing it. Other than Big Bad Russ Feingold, I'm not seeing anyone take charge. Dems need to stop courting Bible Thumpers and Big Business and get back to their roots. The Righties will out Right them.

People aren't going to put up with that kinda crap. Look at the gays. Man, I would have like to have been in that room. Queers don't give a crap - they'll tell it like it is...girlfriend.

Speaking of this year's election - I do have plans for it in terms of this website. But that'll have to come after the September Primaries. For now...hold your nose, it's going to be a smelly ride.
