The Million Dollar Question

There is no denying that Sandy Hook, Chris Dorner and this very recent Vegas shootout-cum-fiery explosion are national stories tailor-made for 24 hour mediagasms, but it seems like every single gun incident is covered ad nauseum right now even if it wouldn't normally warrant much attention outside its own community. Even the Vegas thing might not have gotten this much play if the debate on guns wasn't such a hot button issue right now. So the question is this. Is there a real uptick in gun violence, or just a significant uptick in coverage?

Russian Drivers No Survivers

After watching this video you might wonder why so many Russians have dash cams.
Here's why
Dash-cam footage is the only real way to substantiate your claims in the court of law. Forget witnesses. Hit and runs are very common and insurance companies notoriously specialize in denying claims. Two-way insurance coverage is very expensive and almost completely unavailable for vehicles over ten years old-the drivers can only get basic liability. Get into a minor or major accident and expect the other party to lie to the police or better yet, flee after rear-ending you. Since your insurance won't pay unless the offender is found and sued, you'll see dash-cam videos of post hit and run pursuits for plate numbers.

Parents Are Terrible

So, a billion kids have fed the dolphins SeaWorld, but one kid gets bit-and appears to be pretty okay for it-and the parents want the park to make the dolphin feeding safer and possibly raise the age restriction? Puh-lease! The kid didn't lose an arm. Why are parents in this country is so inclined to bask in the spotlight of the media under the guise of saving other families from the trauma they faced? Every incident needs a new legislature or regulations. Horseshit. And they say they don't intend to sue, but they're not exactly blowing it off , either. We'll see.

Aww, Gratitude...

...It's as American as clogs or Bento Boxes. Listen, the sad truth of the matter is that for whatever reason, homeless people are almost all clinically insane. they can't just go get a job, and some of them are just total assholes. Someone give this man a piece of that sweet Youtube pie already!

Even Russians Think America is Becoming Communist

Here is an article written by a Russian Journalist for a Russian paper.  It has been translated into English.  Have a read.  I think you will like it.

Another Thanksgiving Post

Did you know white people taught redskins how to scalp?  In fact they paid them to do it. That's how the scalping thing amongst injuns got started in the first place. White people showed them and then kinda forced them to do it. Isn't that weird? Nevermind this quote I found
"Probably the most dramatic skeletal example of prehistoric violence in North America comes from the Crow Creek Site in central South Dakota. Archaeological excavations revealed about 486 skeletons within a fortification ditch on the periphery of the habitation area. The site represents the Initial Coalescent period and dates to about 1325. P. Willey's analysis revealed that 90% of the individuals had cut marks characteristic of scalping."
 
Anyway, Quentin Tarantino revealed this truth about white settlers teaching the redman their scalping technique on NPR a few years ago after Inglorious Bastards hit the theaters.  I was so floored by his statement and by the fact that NPR didn't even challenge him on it that I spoke to "friends" of what I learned.  Little did I know, that according to the majority of the people I spoke to, Tarantino was right. And when I say "right" I mean they believed the same line of horse shit.  And when I say majority I mean two people.  Most everyone else never heard it or even cared. Still, Civil War... It's the only option.

Wolverines!

So, they're finally releasing the Red Dawn remake that has been sitting on a shelf in Hollywood for something like three years,because studio execs were afraid to piss off the Chinese, who apparently spend quite a bit of money on American movies. Both as consumers and as contributors. Well, that's awesome. Anyway, Hollywood's brilliant fix was to CGI all the Chinese flags into North Korean flags, because fuck believability, we're Hollywood. It is what we say it is. I, for one, have always been concerned that a backwards starving nation with all the military capability of at least Rhode Island might decide to one day invade us. Seriously, I don't even think Pelosi, given absolute power could get us to a place where North Korea could invade anytime soon.

So suffice it to say, this seems like it is destined to be a terrible film, and the critics agree. This thing is tracking at about 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. But then I read the reviews. And the overwhelming issue appears to be an inflated sense of patriotism in the movie. One reviewer called it a Tea Partiers wet dream. The story of American's having to stand up for themselves as the bumbling beaurocrats in D.C. twiddle there thumbs, unsure of how to act in the face of a real threat. Well, shit. Now I'm interested. I mean, it isn't that hard to just pretend that it's the Chinese invading. In fact, it's frighteningly easy. And I'm a big fan of patriotism.

This movie's major sin may only be that it did not punish us for our arrogance enough.  American Patriots are not to be lauded. American Patriots are meant to be ridiculed and derided by today's modern Global Patriot. Well, fuck that. I may actually go see this movie.

If The U.S. Had Another Civil War...

...I'd be happy to join.
I was talking to a buddy, well sort of a buddy and I asked him what he was doing for thanksgiving and he said "celebrating the day Pilgrims killed all the Native Americans."

I've had enough.
I really hate them all.
If there was another civil war I would join.

I Don't Wanna Live In This Reality

Conservatives would be alright if they would just follow the times, man.  I mean the world is more progressive now and they need to like... catch up. Ya know what I'm sayin', man? They're like, left behind. The voters are wiser now. It's their own fault. We've outgrown them.
You know, with the wars and global warming? We just wanna be free. To live the earth without the shackles of the worlds problems. We can't police everyone, man. And gay marriage, free healthcare, that's what matters, man. We need science to guide us through this life not religion or thousands of years of tradition. That's for old people. Science and doobies is where it's at, man. And while talking science and smoking doobies we can practice some, ya know, basic science... protection sponsored by the government, of course. If not we have government sponsored devices to solve any unwanted packages. It's cool, man. It's cool.
