The Walking Dead

No, I don't have a link for episode 2 yet. Just wanted to pass along the info that AMC has already picked up a second season of 13 episodes. So, yay. I'm not going to lie, though, I was not nearly as pleased with last night's episode as I was with the first. There was enough awesome to make it good, but I seriously hope a couple of the characters get fleshed out a bit or eaten soon. There was a little too much cliche and suspect motivation to go around.

And...Right Back to Politics

Here's my contribution.



Didn't we do something like this here at one point?

Nope, No Slant Here, Keep Moving

Does it get any more biased than this?

OMG

Down with Politics!

Hurray for fun stuff! 25 worst superhero costumes. Pretty solid list, but I don't have that much of a problem with Havoc. I mean, Havoc was pretty cool, and Havoc is also the name of that "look what your daughters are doing behind your back" movie where the Princess Diaries chick shows her boobs, which is pretty cool and not all akward for parents of young girls. I mean 'Havoc' is a good word is all. Even better than mayhem, if you ask me.

I Just Don't Know

Hot chicks? Dragons? Robots? A Samurai with a gatling gun? I guess this looks alright if you're into that sort of thing. Maximum Ito says, "Needs more tentacle rape!"

Trying To Resist The Urge...

...to dump about about half my friends on facebook after yesterdays results. Not because I don't like em anymore, but I can't keep reading their posts. Maybe I will just hide em instead.

Hopeless?

Just a little free thinking...

Considering every position in the CA government is blue, I'm wondering if it its really worth staying here? Within the next 10 years or so I see extreme taxation, government intrusion, and a much higher cost of living in CA.

Before anything changes positively here the Dems will have to completely mess this state up, and I'm not sure I wanna stay for all the fun.

Or the Dems will mess everything up and the loons that agree with them won't think there's a problem, and it will just continue.

On the other hand, there's no money for the mess of government funded plans that the Dems always want. They will choose industries, they will tax everything, they will continue to pursue their (unreachable) utopian view at a very high cost, but there will be no money to fund it.

Just having a hard time trying to view the future here.

A Little Something...

...to take your mind off of Boxer and Brown. I give you Commando: The Musical!

The Good and the Bad

First the good: The country sent a strong message to the Obama Administration that this flouting of the desires of the people will not stand. Some say the GOP taking back the House will lead to gridlock. Well, gridlock is better than the road we were on. Maybe in a couple of years we can get things flowing the right way. Or at least in the right general direction.

Now the bad: While the rest of the country pushed back on the Hope and Change administration, California continued to send a clear message of her own. That message? "We have no clear concept of the value of the dollar!" or "Don't think it can get any worse? Guess again. Jerry Brown, ladies and gentlemen!"

I'm amazed Prop 19 didn't pass here. Everyone is obviously stoned out of their gords. That's not to say I'm even against the legalization of marijuana, I just think it might be a good idea to have an actual plan to deal with it if we do. But it was close, and it won't be long before they make this happen. Hell, this is California, they might even sue to get their way. After all, nothing you disagree with is constitutional anymore (state motto). This morning on the local Fox station they brought in two people to talk about either side of the Prop 19 discussion. One was for it and the other was for it. Seriously, the guy who was against it wants legalization, he just doesn't want people who need it paying taxes. It's an extremely valid point, but couldn't the local news find one single person who was flat out against it? I guess they didn't want to. What else is new?

Oh, and let's not forget the great: So long, Nancy Pelosi, you batshit crazy super bitch. Back to the grave with you!!!

California Sucks A Dick!!!

Grrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Walking Dead?

In a word, amazing. I can't even begin to say how happy I was with this first episode. They stayed close to the source material to start, but added some very real pathos at points that I felt weren't quite there in the comic. The actor who played Rick Grimes nailed it in my opinion.

My concern, however, is with Rick's wife Lori and Rick's partner Shane. Their presence in the first episode felt forced and I was less pleased with their portrayal's. The guy they picked to play Shane just does not work at all so far, and I worry that the love triangle there might last longer than I care to give a shit about it. They say the show goes in some pretty different directions than the comic, and the most likely changes will probably be in regard to which characters get killed off, because TV audiences (and Blogust) grow too attached to characters and storylines.

Still, so far so good.

None Of This Is Going To Help

California is Fucked!

Morgan Freeman A Republican?

With California Going In The Crapper....

...and the voters not planning on doing anything to change it(Looks like Brown and Boxer will win) I've been thinking about getting out of this state again. How bout New Jersey?

Friday Video

I thought this was funny.

T-Minus 3 Days

...and counting until the premiere of The Walking Dead. Here are the shows thoroughly disappointing opening credits.



I say thoroughly disappointing because I've already shown you all the amazing opening credits a mere fan put together. However, it doesn't surprise me that they'd go with this. First off, Frank Darabont says the story will veer off from the comics at one point, so to tie the two together would just cause the fanboys to cry about it. More. I mean cry about it more. More importantly, however, no studio exec would ever have the balls to openly advertise that this series is adapted from a comic. Fanboys will watch no matter what, but America in general would probably not take this seriously if they knew the truth. Still, the other opening ruled. I can't wait to see how this series is fucked up. How many episodes before someone has sex with a zombie? How did Global Warming and our dependency on fossil fuels contribute to the zombie apocalypse? Are the zombies some sort of allegory for mindles Christian Fundamentalists? George Bush zombie? There are just so many different ways, and Hollywood just can't help themselves.

On The Other Hand

Though I don't believe gay marriage is marriage and calling gay marriage, marriage doesn't make it marriage. (sorta like this knew law that allows kids to pick their own gender. Just because they are allowed to call themselves the opposite sex doesn't make them the opposite sex)

this on the other hand I am more agreeable with. I was worried that if gays were in the military openly, people wouldn't enlist. Maybe it's no big deal.

If Iran Gets The Bomb

Michael Tottens latest post is pretty interesting.
I mean it's hard getting into the prediction game, but his guest points out scenarios that are eye opening. Why would Iran want the bomb? Well, from I gather, it's not to threaten U.S. and Israel directly. Not like they sit around with their finger on the button, but instead to gain enough leverage in the area that people will listen to their demands and not ours. In other words not so much to start a war, but enough to earn respect. Just read and you will see what I mean.

My favorite quote is this one where his guest hints that Iran isn't opposed to fighting per se
"Obviously, though, they have an idealogical interest here, and they're willing to fight Israel to the last Lebanese Shiite, but it's an open question how much they'd be willing to sacrifice themselves directly."

In Honor Of The Giants Making It To The World Series

I give you this:

An Article Enjoyable To The Very Last Word

And when I say enjoyable I mean it will piss you off! It starts off with sympathy for Juan Williams, but then rightly points out how his firing is poetic justice since Juan has been supporting bullshit liberal institutions and ideologies for many years. The very same ideology that ultimately got him fired.
The writer later goes into great detail outlining NPR's so called 2% support coming from the taxpayers while the majority of their support comes from their stations. Those stations, the author points out, are themselves public and they get the majority of their money from the CPB-Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The CPB is a private "non-profit" which is code for being a company that receives taxpayer money but the public support is in a sense laundered from the word public to private.
Give it a read.
now watch and enjoy Charles Krauthammer.
Zing! He is so good in this bit I had to watch it more than once. I mean it's fun watching the others stammer stutter worse than Charles. Stuttering is something he can't help and now they too can't help it, but for a totally different reason.
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS STORY!
Now read this.

Did you notice Opie Cunningham's brother? He has come out of the closet recently as a conservative. Exit question, why do we get all the low grade actors?

Everyone's a Bigot.

So, here's an article about that dude getting canned from NPR for saying he was scared muslims on planes. This is the part that confuses me:

The Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan wrote Wednesday morning that Williams' statement about fearing Muslims on planes is an example of bigotry. "What if someone said that they saw a black man walking down the street in classic thug get-up," Sullivan wrote. "Would a white person be a bigot [if] he assumed he was going to mug him?'

So, I'm going to assume that the answer he is expecting here is that yes, that white person is a bigot for assuming a black dude dressed like a thug was going to mug him. If I were in that situation I'd call it erring on the side of caution, but if Andrew Sullivan would like to call me a bigot, so be it. For the record, if I saw a scary lookin' white dude walking down the street, I'd probably assume he posed some kind of threat as well, but I'm well aware that that only makes me a pussy.

This Is Just Great

This Is Painful To Watch

Ok the story goes like this. Jonah Goldberg is conducting an interview on c-span. The girl, who is named Helen, talks first and she goes on expalining why she believes this and that and who she admires and who she doesn't and yadda yadda yadda. Normal mumbo jumbo you would find on c-span, right?
Then comes the dudes turn and he doesn't really talk about politics at all. I mean he sorta does, but not really. Instead he starts talking about the previous speaker, Helen. And believe me, it's not good. We all get to find out how he and Helen were once an item. We also learn that she is an awful evil whore who loves to see people suffer and a whole bunch of other shit that I can't remember right now because I was to busy sticking my fingers in my ears and humming loudly so as to not be embarrassed.
During the entire rant, Jonah Goldberg is doing this pathetic laugh of embarrassment sorta thing because he can't believe what is happening. And it does happen, for like 4 minutes. No shit, I am not kidding.

I Can't Believe I Am Writing A Post About The View

I'm sure you have all heard by now that Goldberg and Behar walked off there show after O'Reilly called the 9/11 muslims... wait for it... muslims. It's funny cause I walk off the set of The View every single day by not turning it on my T.V. And if by accident it does come on, I scream, throw my hands up in the air and immediately leave the room. Similar to how these ladies behaved.

Oh and the reason I linked to the hotair post is because they make a good point about how Behar is willing to sit with Truthers, but not willing to sit with people who call muslim terrorists, muslims. Actually I sorta agree with them on one thing. Calling them muslims is inaccurate. I would have preferred O'Reilly to have called them what they really are and that is Islamofascists, but hey, whatever. Also the video of Laura Ingraham pointing out how Behar loves to mock catholics is pretty sweet too so make sure you watch that.

Look, I live in San Diego so I have met a tonne of Europeans in my lifetime. I am immune to the American foible of equating any European accent with intelligence. English people, in my experience, tend to be generally pretty daft and have the most juvenile sense of humor. I mean, it's pretty much farts and pratfalls and Russell Brand, and while there's a place for that, I'd lump it all in with Larry the Cable guy. I mean, it's ironic how much these people have in common with the flyover states on that one. But this is not funny on any level. Mostly, because I don't think it's supposed to be a joke. Warning, pretty graphic.

Screw You, News 8

How can a "news" program give lip service to this crap? Oh, is it too hot for your precious snowflakes to go to school? Where there is no air conditioning? I'm sure the teachers have something to do with this. Do teachers ever do anything but complain?

And be sure to get into the comments and look for the one from JLM, a kid. That should really shed some light on some of the problems in the US today.

Here We Go.

The title of the article is kind of wordy. How about simply, "Christians Are Stupid." Ugh, the are so many mitigating circumstances that lead to poll results like this and the only one they even bother to point out is how much more educated people who don't believe in God are. Also, the reasoning that these people know more because they ultimately turned their back on the church sounds a lot like theory. Here's my theory: Most Christians are pretty reasonable regarding their faith and likely don't take the Bible or it's teaching too literally, whereas people who are agnostic or atheist tend to take the Bible and Christianity at their literal worst, which is likely what this poll was looking for.

This Is Amazing

I don't care how enlightened people pretend to be, but graphic butt fucking scenes between an American soldier and Iraqi soldier whose love blossomed while on patrol dressed in burqas is not going win over the hearts and minds of the masses. So I expect when the two decide to assassinate George W. Bush, people will be wringing their hands with worry as to how W will courageously escape his evil attackers. Though I expect this will be the opposite effect the Wachowski Bros. will be hoping for. Believe it!
