Big Pink Revisited, originally uploaded by twoblueday.
Seems like the stuff I see in the news gets stupider every week.
1. Ralph Nader accuses Barack Obama of trying to “talk white.” What? This nebbish Nader, who hasn’t done anything but seek publicity for years, is now the soul of the African American population? How has this dipshit stayed in the puclic eye so long? I’d rather see news of Britney Spears for fuck’s sake. Who does this nobody think he is? The First Black President maybe? (My. apologies, Mr. Clinton) Good work Ralphie Boy, keep the race card in play as long as possible, it has done so much for this country already. Asshole.
2. Speaking of the race card, that “card” Don Imus has inflicted himself on us again. He said something which sounded a lot like it was no wonder PacMan Jones got arrested so much, he was black. His “explanation” (Imus’s, that is), was that he meant it was awful the police picked on black folks so much. Well, Mr. Imus Nobody Believes You! You are a racist pig, and you might as well admit it and get a job on a white supremacist radio station. Oh, yeah, regarding your lame attempt at shuckin’ and jivin’, maybe certain individuals from any race get arrested all the time because they keep doing bad stuff. I guess I’m saying your alleged comment on the justice system was almost as stupid as your racial slur. Mr. Imus deserves to be out of the limelight he craves so much immediately and forever. Where’s the FCC when we need them?
3. Speaking of Mr. Obama. Some guy named Dobson (a white guy, I think), who apparently is a biblical and constitutional scholar, says Mr. Obama is distorting both the bible and the constitution. Hmmm. I don’t know how you could distort the bible (which is pretty much unintelligible anyway) more than it already has been. It has been used to justify slavery, wholesale murder (the Crusades), unspeakable torture (the Inquisition), burning of women (witchcraft crap), and anti-scientific hoodoo (think of Galileo). As for the constitution, what it means depends more on politics than anything else, doesn’t it? So, Mr. Dobson, why don’t you hole up with Mr. Nader and Mr. Imus and solve the world’s problems ?
4. A drunk lady wrecked her car, killing her child. The judge let hour out of jail for 24hrs. to attend the poor kid’s funeral. So, did she report back to the hoosgow? No, of course not. She went to a bar to get drunked up. Arrested and charged with escape on top of homicide. I guess there’s little one can add to this, is there?
5. Enough of that stuff.
