The Revolution Will Not Be Televised



Gil Scott-Heron was right. The revolution will not be televised. At least not an American, non violent, peaceful, peoples revolt. No not on this chilly autumn morning. A quick search of the top headlines on the major news networks, CNN, MSNBC, FUX News (now that’s a shocker), ABC News, CBS News, no not these providers of mass information.

Instead we get the news that Anwar al-Awlaki was killed, Bank of America is charging for debit card use and Michael Jackson’s doctor’s trial. This is confusing, yesterday it seemed that the media may finally be starting to wake up and do its job. There where quick snippets on some of the major networks. But no I awoke this morning to nothing. No news clips of the protesters no video’s of police brutality. Nope nothing but a half dozen photos on CNN with no article.

Meanwhile dozens of cities around United States and the world are planning protests. Thousands of people are using social media to organize a peaceful uprising. Meanwhile you are still getting fed bullshit. Yet they are still talking about the Arab Summer and how great it is to spread freedom and democracy.

Right Wing Media Bias!

Oh lord how often do we hear it, “The left wing media”,  or “left wing media bias”. I wish I had a beer for every time we have heard this played out, bullshit, flat out LIE!. Truth is it is quite the opposite. Truth is the republican’t , teabaggers, remind me a lot of my ex wife. Always accusing me of doing what she was doing. Its like a denial syndrome, where the republican’ts have all the media control, yet they say the left does.

Keep telling a lie enough and the sheeple will tend to believe it. I guess the fact (there is that four letter word again) that Fux News, is number one in cable news networks, is beside the point. Or that the am radio world is dominated (understatement) by the likes of: Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Don Imus, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Glen Beck,  Dr. Laura Schlessinger,  and Neil Boortz. Not all republican but all conservative and a half. Oh wait I forgot we had Al Franken(a few years ago). And oh yeah all those am radio guys that happen to work for Fux News also have high ranking TV shows.

Proof of this right wing bias can be found in the total lack of coverage of the whole occupy wall street movement, you know the one that is spreading across the country, oh wait your friends didn’t hear about it, I wonder why. Must be that whole left wing media agenda. Can’t show those radical extremists that give a shit enough about their country to try to fix it, on the news, people might realize there is a movement starting and get off their assess to stop this bullshit. But on the other hand the rapper T.I. did get out of a halfway house today, now that's news!

So while we are stuck with a few good shows from Keith Oblermann, Ed Schultz and HBO’s Bill Maher, the left falls short (by many miles) of dominating the media. So tell the right to get a clue, better yet tell them to go fuck themselves and get their facts straight.

Bible quotes for the haters



Here is something that has been on the Internet for a long time but is still very relevant in today's right wing brainwashed, teabagger, political climate. (Click above to view the actually link).


Dr. Laura Slessinger is a well-known conservative talk show host. She is known for quoting the Bible when telling the world why homosexuals are so wrong and are going to burn in hell.

Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When people try to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them:
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev.1:9).The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24).The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d) Lev.25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev.11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
g) Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
 i) I know from Lev.11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread cotton/polyester blend. He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them (Lev.24:10-16)? Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev.20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

I wonder how this intolerant bitch would feel about the fact that the new census reports the number of same sex households is on the rise.

Grumpy Old Peckerwoods

With the threat of a government shutdown once again making headline news, we must wonder the cause for such a ruckus. Once again the Grumpy Old Peckerwoods or GOP if you will, are raging mad and damning the man etc. I can’t help but ask myself, what makes all these old, rich white people, so fucking hateful?

Do they hate the poor so much that they must just cut spending of government programs that  help people? Do they have poor people envy? “yeah there go those poor bastards again, hogging all the attention”. I don’t get it, those that have it all, hate those that have nothing.

Since they want to cut programs in order to provide much needed disaster relief, cutting government programs that would kill government jobs, and add to unemployment, (more people for them to hate I guess) I have a groundbreaking idea for these downtrodden hating, angry, wealthy sons of bitches. Cut your own job. That’s right,shut em down. Save some much needed money. Cut your job, cut your throat, or just cut it the fuck out!
