Thank you Stephen Colbert

From Stephen Colbert's speech at the Press Dinner:
So, Mr. President, please, pay no attention to the people that say the glass is ... half empty, because 32% means it's 2/3 empty. There's still some liquid in that glass is my point, but I wouldn't drink it. The last third is usually backwash.

This was not anywhere near close to the high point of the speech, but I do like the way he referred to w's supporters as backwash. We can all agree that backwash is a fitting moniker, right? If you didn't get a chance to see the speech live via CSPAN, no worries. I'm pretty sure the video is all over the internets. So enjoy.

And if you want to send Colbert a word of thanks -

Now Democrats in the Senate, its time to nut up. If Colbert can stand two feet away from W and deliver that speech, when it was clear the audience wanted him to stop, I think you can support Feingold's censure. Stop acting like you need more information. W violated the specific statutory prohibition on warrantless wire taps (verbatim from Feingold's resolution) and it is your responsiblity to the rest of us to support the resolution to censure him. We NEED you to stop fucking around.

Thank Gregorian Calendar its Friday.

As you know, my favorite tv icon is Mr. Stephen Colbert. Colbert often talks about being the last of eleven children. Catholics of course. Although on September 11, 1974, Colbert became the last of nine children when his father and two brothers were killed in a plane crash or malfunction or something. Interesting that the gubment picked that exact date 27 years later to orchestrate their x-files like plan on the world

Should I actually make the inappropriate joke here or is it too obvious?

exit strategy

I figured out an exit strategy. Now it sounds like the kind of thing I would say sarcastically and since you can't always tell with the written word, please know that I am being entirely serious. Put Saddam back in charge. I know its a bad solution, but we know the war was a huge mistake, so why not return it to its original state? He'll make them stop civil war and return the place to totalitarianism - like we were never there.

I really think its worth exploring.

w

So its official. W is the worst president in history. We've known that all along of course, but now its in Rolling Stone. I'd like to think I had a little something to do with getting the word out. I don't think that of course, I'd just like to. W didn't need any help with this one. He was determined to fuck up as much as possible and he pursued that goal relentlessly.

Remember a few posts ago when I expressed joy about Chuckie Sheen being on board with questioning the validity of the official story of what went down on 9/11? Well it turns out chuckie is completely fucking psycho and the smoking gun has about 12 pages of court papers attesting to this fact. Not that this is surprising to pretty much anyone, but it means he might not be as beneficial to the cause as I previously thought.

The Rolling Stone article also said that the only way W could be remembered well in history would be for another 9/11 type event to occur so the country would rally around him again and he would go out in glory. Or at least with support on his side. I really hope Rummy or Karl Rove don't read Rolling Stone. This could be very bad.

jesus saves

by shopping at walmart. I was thinking we should start to use the walmart smiley as our visible representation of jc. Like instead of the yanni looking white guy that we normally use. The benefits of the walmart smiley are threefold. One, the smiley doesn't represent any particular race, whereas now I'm most often looking at a white jc. Second, the smiley is already universally known, even by all white trash. Or especially by all white trash. So that is basically an automatic in. And finally, that would free up the yanni looking character for the cover of romance novels, which is good because I think they currently use fabio but he must be getting old. And the good thing about the jc yanni is that he is mythical so he never has to age. Of course, when we sell this to the general public we may want to replace the word mythical with the word everlasting. Calling him mythical might be a deal breaker. But other than that, I expect the idea to sell. We'll just get Karl Rove involved. He can sell anything.

4/20

4/20.

Pretty much every day is 4/20 in my life so this really means nothing, but I would be remiss not to at least mention it. Now back to the important things. Does anyone else get the feeling that part of the reason McClelland resigned is because he had to carry the bags? Because that is what this picture is telling me. Scotty, please please take at least one of these two with you.

And if my old buddy mateo frito is reading this, hola amigo. It has already been over 100 degrees in Dallas this month.

rubbernecking

Maria Ramoutar and her sister were in separate cars on their way back from Miami Beach when Maria saw a fiery car crash. She decided to videotape it with her cell phone. Four people inside that burning car died, including Maria's sister. Maria didn't find out it was her sister till the next day. Now she says she wishes she would have done something to save her.

Other big news today - White House Press secretary Scott Mccleland resigned, so I guess that leaves W short one fat white guy. And the demon spawn of scientology was born, we'll call her syracuse (not an original joke). Wow today was a big day. And we all know what tomorrow is...

He is Risen!!!

it was 1973 years ago yesterday that they rolled back the stone on jc's tomb only to find his corpse had been stolen thus spawning they ressurrection myth that we still celebrate today. Yesterday really. Rock on baby j!!!

Once again, Penis Cheney

The Cheneys' income included the vice president's $205,031 government salary and $211,465 in deferred compensation from Halliburton Co., the Dallas-based energy services firm he headed until Aug. 16, 2000.

deferred compensation.
Halibirton payed him more than we did last year. And this is what they payed him officially. deferred compensation.

I'm just sad because the baby jesus died today.

Friendly neighborhood protesters

These people could spend a lot less time hating Mexicans if they would just move out of Texas. Then they would be free to spend their Saturdays white trashing it at DQ or whatever the fuck it is they do.

I'm guessing mom didn't have a lot of prenatal care

This baby was apparently born last week and lived for about one half hour. His parents felt no remorse at his death. And no one is quite sure why the dead baby was placed in a pan and paraded through the streets. Or why they didn't close his eyes. http://www.kantipuronline.com/kolnews.php?&nid=69722

Anyway, its called anencephaly, it means the baby didn't have a brain, and insert your own W joke here. Yeah, I'm starting to see why the republicans are pro life.
