Look at this poor, ignorant fucks outside the legislature on C-SPAN, with signs like "abortion is NOT health care." Just yesterday, Barney Frank was called a faggot and John Lewis was called "nigger" by Tea Party fuckers. They're so mired in religion and misguided anger that it's reaching an epic level of pathos. The bill isn't even that good, and will nonetheless likely benefit them. But Glenn Beck, their pastors, and their local politicians told them to be outraged, tapping into the prized redneck fear-vote. And here it is, splayed out like fallen humanity outside the Capitol.

Fuck, I can't wait to see them when the vote takes place.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. These Tea Party jackasses need to die in a chemical fire... :picardno

Yeah, speaking of Glenn Beck and a bunch of zealous followers...

I managed to keep myself from hurling when watching one of his choir preaching sessions last night on Faux News.  He was basically calling Obama a liar for not bringing around the public health care option fast enough like he promised back during his '08 campaign trail.  He then goes on to site a list of countries that did exactly what Obama is doing right now (universal health care, universal education, universal whatever) and amounting them to epic fails.  It was that final line that drove me to switch the channel on him (see below).

Paraphrase: The only thing America is promising is oppression in the order of North Korea.

What person would have to hate America enough to listen to his diatribe?

Jesus, only in the Deep Fucking South can some complete idiot like Eric Cantor get elected.

Edit: Aww, is Boehner going to cry again?

Quote from: Uboa
Your chosen spelling of that fine linguistic construction suggests the act of hating asses, rather than "asshatting".

Also, I can't believe I let Uboa get away with this in my previous post.

Asshattery is a noun that means...

I like to think I have a decently developed sense of humor. Part of being a "funny guy" is making a lot of jokes. Now most the time, those jokes fall flat. Humour is often the result of trying again and again until one finds something that works; great comedians tell a lot of jokes that aren't funny, but they keep trying so when they hit on one that works, that is what we remember them for. As such, a necessary skill that one must develop in order to be effectively funny is to know when to let a joke go. Sometimes things that should be funny, and would be funny in the right crowd, just fail when told to certain people.

Thus, it is with a sagely, magnificent, white beard that I, in this realm of humour, must advise: let the pun die. It was a great pun, but it fell flat and aught be put out of its misery.

Here, let me say a few final words for it:

Oh Pun, you were a good pun, witty and cutting.
You were as the springtime, beautiful when you came, dispelling the grey winter of discourse.
But sadly you are less so now,
having been killed, beaten, run over, shot, stabbed, given many paper cuts, poked, electrocuted, and killed some more.
Your beauty has now waned, you are all putrid and grossified.
Farewell, Pun, you're life was too short and we shall miss you.

Thought, your advice only works if it were a pun; it was not. My post was not a joke. It was an explanation of why the word "asshattery," despite the scoffs of Uboa and J, is a word that "works," and also a response to Uboa's claim that I was misusing it.

It's a trifle to argue about, sure.

Edit: And also, on a completely unrelated note:

Curse you common typography! You have been the bane of my existence!

Fuck this cat bullshit. I understand that cats are cute, stuck-up fuckers, but I don't comprehend the fucking obsession with them. Two blogs I visit have a daily picture of a kitty, and it's useless goddamn filler. If I start a fucking blog, I'm going to jam a daily dachshund in faces and fight the fucking power.

Do the impossible
see the invisible
raw! raw!
fight the power!

touch the untouchable
break the unbreakable
raw! raw!
fight the power!

Power to the peeps, power for the dream
still missing piece scattering, so incomplete
we be the most incredible soldier from underground
see how easy, they all fall down
digging to the core to see the light
Let’s get out of here babe, that’s the way to survive, ya
top of the head, I’m on the set
do the impossible, don’t you wanna bet?
cuz, a lot of things changed, we be waiting in vain
if you wanna get by, no pain no gain
wow! fakers wanna test me again
sorry, my rhyme’s gonna snatch your brain, yo
I’m still starving for the straight up shit
we gonna make it happen with the crazy rap skill
get ready to rumble, now is the time, uh huh
if you ain’t know, now you know
good luck fellows!

2nd verse dedicates to the real peeps
what we got to say is so real thing
cuz, revolution ain’t never gonna televise
kicking the mad flow, microphone phenotype
open your third eye, seeing through the overground
I’m about to hit you with the scream from the underground
whole city is covered with the cyber flavor
“G” is in your area, one of the toughest enigma

Edit: Some badass determinator beat me to it: http://www.dailydachshundanddognews.com/

Looks like it needs to be updated, though.

Hehe, I love cats and I kept several blogs addresses in my bookmark collection. Whenever I get bored I just go checking whether they have some updates.

I sprained my waist this morning while washing my tea cup, it's really shameful considering my age.

Not a big cat fan.  Used to have a Dachshund who made it to 15, she was awesome and I still miss her.  For now I stick with my chickens...

The phrase/word "Obamacare." Forget politics, forget even humanistic concerns. It offends me as someone who likes to coin words and phrases. "Obamacare" is an utterly uninspired "word," the construction of which is an affront not just to the English Language, but the entire Indo-European Language group.

Damn financial analysis. Markets are irrational and manipulated, and financial analysis is like trying to pull the truth out of five layers of deception laid upon a foundation of sand and animal spirits. Most of it reeks of unscrupulous wealth capture, too. The majority of mutual funds can't even beat the index, and the ones that can are usually massive investment houses/hedges (with buy-ins of several million dollars) that have significant market power. What a fucking arena of chaos. I hate the extreme masculinity of it all, too, with risk-taking and one-upmanship prized in financier culture. Read some of the accounts of corporate culture at Lehman Bros. or the other investment houses, and you'll find some of the biggest dick-swinging contests in history's annals. A culture like this reinforces gender roles and keeps out females. It's no surprise that Wall Street has been faulted for lacking conscience for female employees.

Fuck the weighted-average cost of capital.
