Right Wing - An Oxymoron of Galactic Proportions

Right Wing....an oxymoron of galactic proportions.  In my half century on this planet, I have yet to see them right about much of anything. A more apt name would be the Broken Wing.  They used to stand for small government, in words alone, yet under every Right Wing president since Reagan, the government has grown exponentially---mainly in military, but then the Republican Party and conservatives in general don't view the military as "government," even though it is.  Now, our military is the largest on the planet, despite warnings from Republican president Dwight Eisenhower, who, by today's standards would be considered a leftist; with expenditures exceeding all other countries combined.  Delusion is the sea these folks swim in, and it's time for thinking people of all walks of life who still embrace common sense to say, "enough."

You've Entered The No Bullshit Zone, episode 1

BITS OF TID

I PASS ON THE PASSAT
Most Annoying Car Commercials---most suck, but the VW ad for the Passat takes the cake for uber-doofusness. And what the hell kind of a name is Passat anyway? Sounds like something you cough up after snorting coke on a urinal. Passat...sounds more like ASSHAT. No thanks, I'll stick with my Jazzy. 5 miles an hour, fully electric.

COSMOS, CARL, AND CUCUMBERS FOR BRAINS
Carl Sagan warned us 33 years ago in his epic miniseries Cosmos that we were headed for extinction. Did we listen? Shit, we just decided HELL YEAH, let's do that extinction thang. He's in the Next World, going, "billions and billions of brain dead..."

"WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US" - WALT KELLY, 1953
The Atlanta shooting should stand as still another sign post for "hey, certain folks shouldn't have access to projectile weapons." Take me, for instance, none of y'all would want someone as nuts as me brandishing a gat, right? And if I was going to ever own a piece, it would HAVE to have a laser site because I can't hit the barn side of a broad. And it would likely have to have some heft. Maybe a Super Aegis 2. :OD

FAILBOOK
Hmmm, started out the month with 635 friends, then 634 last week, 633 this week. I guess I must be doing something right :OD. "On one thing you can depend, and that's my ability to offend."

THOSE PESKY GOPS TRYING TO BOB FILNER YOUR NETHERS
Politicians who advocate that rape is just a form of "rough sex," need to have their dose of Cialis replaced, surreptitiously, of course, with a prescription grade laxative.

SPEAKING OF GRINNING (R)APES...
Bob "Filthy" #Filner should resign, then be thrown in the hoosegow with Jerry Sandusky. They'd make a great couple...of pervs.

TWEETMEATS (FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @JamesEFinch)

• We need more Antoinette Tuffs in this world and less Wayne LaPierres. True heroes who use courage and words rather than cowardice and guns.
• When I was young, I thought the term "Prosecute" referred to a good looking ho.  I lived a sheltered life.
• Mother Jones, WTF is up with you telling a lie, misquoting Aaron Sorkin, one of the best writers in media?  Are you becoming Republicans?
• Irony on a galactic scale: When the #NRA claims the Gov't is trying to start a gun ownership database, when it's the #NRA doing just that.
• Bashar al-Assad, also known as Bastard Asshat, slaughters his own people by the thousand & we still haven't sent a nuke down his pants yet?

AND ON A SERIOUS NOTE...
We don't need to take up the sword to stop a sword---we need heroes whose words bring down walls and shatter hatred. And by that reckoning, all of us have the potential to change the world.

This Would Solve A Lot of World Problems...

I'd Say that "RED LINE" Has Been Crossed, Stomped and Shat On.

Funny, when the douche nuggets in the dubiously named "Intelligence Community" want somebody bad enough, they will find his ass and blow it off the face of the earth. Why, then, haven't those geniuses taken out Bashar Al-ASSad? I don't need a fucking chemistry degree to tell that they've used chemical weapons on their people. Nothing against POTUS, but I'd say that "red line" has been crossed, stomped on and shat on. Now I know it's not the United States' job to be the planet's beat cop, but again, what is the limit for atrocity these days? 

And if we're just going to ignore shit, why not ignore our ass out of Afghanistan, Egypt and everywhere else our nose is stuck because some rich shitbag has to drive a giant SUV down 2 blocks to get a latte? Maybe we should close all our embassies in that region and say, f#ck it, no? All I know is that our lust for fossil fuels has to stop somewhere. That's an oily red line I think we crossed a century ago.

Fux News thinks Sarin is something you wrap your cabbage in.

Some comments on today's events...

OBAMACARE AND HOW THE GOPTURDS ARE SO AFRAID OF IT...
I think one major reason (aside from the fact that POTUS has the wrong color Mom and Dad) why the repubes don't like Obamacare is because they're afraid it will work and that their graft of all that insurance money from the industry lobby will evaporate. It's all about money, folks; mainly how much they take from YOU. The "Takers" are not little kids, Grandma selling her cat to pay for meds, or homeless veterans. The takers are the politicians, banks and fossil fuel corporations who own them. Those are your enemies, not the schmuck wearing shants and wearing his baseball cap backwards to try to look cool while he tries to buy Red Bull using his Access card.

JUMPING JACK FLASH, IT'S A GAS GAS GAS...
You can always tell what the cable news networks' priorities are...HLN pundidiots bitching at each other over that old news about Hannah and her kidnapper (is it my cynicism or was she complicit with the kidnapping?), CNN is dragging the shit out the Atlanta shooting, FUX is dragging the shit out of the 3 bored kids who killed an Australian jogger out of boredom, pretending that it's on the level of what happened to Trayvon---yeah, white tragedy vs. black tragedy, and MSNBC is at least current with the heavy coverage of the ASShat regime in Syria using Sarin gas on its people. Despite the obvious, all the pundits say there should be physical proof. I don't know what seems to rank as atrocity these days, but isn't killing children and old people pretty much atrocious no matter what kind of weaponry? Some days, I just wish I stopped giving a shit....but then I'd have to go out and buy some Dulcolax.

341 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS OF HIGHER THAN NORMAL TEMPS...
Of course, ExxonMobilKochBros Amalgamated would have you believe that it's just natural for the Earth to heat up since oil, coal and natural gas are derived from stuff that was once alive. The operative phrase is "once alive." Humans made this happen, humans can change it.
