The Big Fuckhead That Is Thomas Friedman

His quote to Charlie Rose, NEVER to be forgotten by historians of Horrible Rotten People:

"There was what I would call the terrorism bubble... And what we needed to do was go over to that part of the world, I'm afraid, and burst that bubble. We needed to go over there basically, um, and, um, uh, take out a very big stick, um right in the heart of, of that world, and, um, and burst that bubble. And there was only one way to do it... And what they needed to see was American boys and girls going house to house from Basra to Baghdad, um and basically saying, which part of this sentence don't you understand? You don't think, you know we care, uh, about our open society, you think this bubble fantasy we're just gonna let it grow? Well, suck on this. Ok. That, Charlie, was what this war was about."

Thomas Friedman: one of world history's biggest fuckheads. Know this as he goes all out #NeverTrump and uses it as a shield from which to hide his grotesque worldview.

When Prosecutors Act Like Defense Attorneys (aka "I Can't Breathe!")

No matter how many times I demonize Daniel Pantaleo, there will be more like him to come in the NYPD and in police forces across Amerikkka, if nothing is done. This asshole motherfucker of a cop just got away with killing a man for selling loose fucking cigarettes on the street. Yes, cop is white, victim is black, yet again.

The fact that a "Grand Jury" can act like this is most disturbing if not completely incomprehensible. The fact that the "prosecutor" basically orchestrated it all so that this human scum can escape with no trial is just breathtaking - yeah, I couldn't breathe either after hearing the awful news. I wanted to punch/pummel/obliterate the screen on which I read that there will be no charges brought against a homicidal sociopath caught -- ON CAMERA! -- killing an unarmed, non-threatening human being in cold blood.

This is Amerikkka, folks - we've arrived. Congrats to the racist sociopath motherfuckers we call our police forces that "protect" us. This is their "duty," after all. Protect the white wealthy 1% and no one else. They can kill without impunity now.

No moar wurdz.

Scum Zombies

The House Republican-Teapublican alliance is at it again. They are just about the lowest form of deformed human you can get, and they don't care a rat's ass about good ol' USA. They claim they represent their "districts" although their districts are nothing more than gerrymandered geographical long-fingered hydra-shaped messes containing more human scum. These proto-fascist zombies have managed to bring the world economy to its knees, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

The Conundrum of Sochi

I can't quit the feeling that the Sochi Olympics happening as planned is just such an impossibility. There he is, Vladimir Putin, presiding over the Opening Ceremonies, all smug, that cold, soul-less look in his eyes that makes Dick Cheney seem warm -- all this happening while Russia's gay citizens are being rounded up, Nazi-style, Putin's own "Pink Ghetto" realized in our time.

And nothing happens? No acts of protest, not a single rainbow flag, even a pin? Just business as usual, Bob Costas commenting on some peculiar factoid of country X.

Too many gay voices arguing against a boycott (namely Johnny Weir, but soon to be followed by many more) would seem to doom that possibility, although world events should sort that out (I still say unlikely to happen).

Moving the Olympics to another venue seems a pipe dream, for many reasons. George Takei has taken up this mantle, along with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell. Takei says it is still "possible". Rhetoric like that usually means pipe dream.

So that leaves Sochi 2014 Winter Games, fill in the blank. I can't fathom a total IOC-censored event, given the European representation.

And -- Figure Frickin' Skating! Johnny Weir! The IOC may warn athletes against openly political symbols during the OCs, but that doesn't prevent the commentators, friends and former athletes from showing up and displaying same. And exactly where does Bob Costas stand on this?

This is such a big deal, the huge, gigantic Elephant in the Stadium that can't be ignored. Tilda Swinton said it all in that rainbow flag-waving act of defiance in Red Square.

An ego-maniacal madman such as Putin couldn't stand the embarrassment that's about to descend on him, could he? Will All Of It be whitewashed? Or will all these laws just magically go away -- never happened, just a typo, sorry for the confusion?

Because somehow or other there will be a showdown on gay rights for all the world to see. And gay people in lots of countries are indeed persecuted, jailed, tortured and killed. And frankly Putin can't afford the unavoidable embarrassment resulting from the havoc his laws would wreak upon hundreds of influential foreigners. Putin is nothing but a pathetic Joseph Stalin-wannabe coward. He doesn't have the guts to stand this down, nor frankly the religious conviction of, say, an Ayatollah. He will be forced to squirm like the 12-year-old bully he is.

What an unexpected turn of events these Olympics have spawned. And it's about time.

Showdown in Sochi

Vladimir Putin has won the prize for Biggest Bully in the World. Now it is time for the World to strike back.

Vlad, your days of glory and self-declared greatness are about to come to a screeching halt, you sad, sad motherfucker. One way or another, the good citizens of the world will defeat your hate, will defeat your hyper-machismo posturing, will defeat you.

And I will be there to watch you squirm.

Come Opening Ceremonies, be they in Sochi, Europa or Vancouver, your world of sycophantic sheep and jack-booted thugs rounding up an oppressed minority will crumble like a house built of wet toilet paper.

It'll just take one athlete holding up that Rainbow Flag you deem "propaganda" worthy of jail time. Go ahead, motherfucker, arrest Johnny Weir, and watch the spectacle as others follow and are arrested while the world watches in horror. How will you like your splendid little country then?

We are coming for you, gay haters around the world. Yes, that means you, Jamaica. And you, Uganda. Yes even you, Singapore.

A thousand rainbow flags waved proudly while two billion people watch. Hey Vlad, you won't be able to do a thing about it. Go check out the dustbin of history and you'll see what I mean.

Go check it out!

Oops -- didn't mean to push ya!

Murder and Hate In My Back Yard

Mark Carson's death is a wake-up call for all of us. We need a ban on all hand guns, and I don't  give a flying fuck whether you think this will stop criminals from killing, the fact is it will, asshole. I don't want a stupid gun. This murdering hate-mongering piece of filth a.k.a. Elliot Morales should never see the light of day, but I'm not angling for his torture in solitary confinement in our abysmal prison system.

The U.S. to a great extent harbors and nourishes a culture of death like no other in the Western world. America is a nation that arms itself to the teeth with increasingly lethal and military-style firearm, yet nary a firearm death is reported as an act of self-defense. Add to that our utterly stupid political class that fetishizes the notion of a Wild West -- the myth of carrying around AR-15s in the farcical hope they will protect against intruders is indeed a deadly one -- statistics tell us that more deaths arise in households with guns than those without them.

I really hate our culture, and I no longer feel safe here. I'm finding myself longing for a safer place to live in Europe, maybe even Canada, a place where sane gun laws and gun control do indeed result in orders of magnitude fewer deaths by guns.

I hate guns. Period, now. I don't give a fuck about the Second Amendment. It is our death sentence.

Liza Minnelli Tries To Turn Off a Lamp

[New York City, 1982 in a swanky Manhattan apartment]

Agent:  Sugar, babe, it’s the opening night of Cats and the curtain goes up in fifteen minutes we gotta scoot, Liza!

Liza:  Oh, sure, I’d be delighted! Just let me turn off some of these lamps [raises leg vertically while lying on couch].

Announcer:  And now: Liza Minnelli Tries to Turn Off a Lamp

Liza  [getting up and moseying over to lamp to jazz beat]:  Just let me check it out over here. [finding lamp] Oh, I see it, here’s the scoundrel – here’s the trouble-maker right here! Time to turn this doodad off, OH!! [raising arms, posing suggestively]

Agent:  Want me to help ya, Liza?

Liza:  Oh no, darlin’ – you just relax. I just need to find the clicker, or the switch that turns this whole cuckoo thing down! Is there a little knob on here that you turn and everything goes black?

Agent:  I don’t know, Liza, it’s probably pretty simple.

Liza:  You tell that to Debbie Reynolds! [does jazz hands.]

Agent:  What?

Liza:  [doing jazz hands] Ok, there’s…gotta be a turner, or like a ball, on the end of a chain, remember that?

Agent:  Remember what, Liza?

Liza:  [turning belt around stripper-tease style] Chain, ball - ka-CHING remember that? Oh! [collapsing on couch] Atlantic City! I choked on a shrimp! [putting legs in the air]

Agent:  I don’t know what you’re talkin’ about—Liza! Forget the light, we gotta GO!

Liza:  [writing on couch] Oh…oh I’m thinking it might be in the box of a middle of a chord or a thin plastic clicker wheel in the middle—you kick it ONCE! [kicks with cymbal crash] You kick it twice! [two cymbal crashes] You kick it three times. [throws hips with three slow cymbal or gong crashes] And the light goes on and the party starts! [turns head around dramatically]

Agent:  Baby, we’re gonna miss the SHOW! Don’t make those little kitties wait, we’re gonna miss Caaats.

Liza:  Oh, then I better turn off this skinny lady [tussling hair, moving back toward lamp]. Is it a foot-tapper? ONCE! [three quick congo drum hits] TWICE! [three quick congo drum hits w/ hi-hat cymbal at end] Three? [three quick congo drum hits w/ hi-hat cymbal at end] Will a Fosse-neck do it? [jutting out neck, Egyptian-style]

Agent: Nooooooo!

Liza:  Hey, remember this? [covering face with fingers spread apart]

Agent:  Just turn the lamp off – I’m floggin’ for Chris and Pete, the car’s waitin’ downstairs…

Liza:  Oh, that’s right, the lamp, that little rascal. Oh, wait—here it is. I found the chord! [grabbing chord, putting it over shoulder] I just have to pull it out of the wall [tussling hair] Aaaaoooh! Look…how long this chord is—Ben Vereen it’s long! I’m not getting anywhere with it, it’s like Tommy Tune!

Agent:  ‘Cuz you’re walkin’ in plaaaace!

Liza:  Am I? I just gotta find the clicker that dims the whole shebang. [sticks out butt and arms]

Agent:  Once again, not my house, not my lamp!

Liza: [holding lamp] Oh – here it is, it’s just a button. What’s all the neck but – you don’t push it, you gotta give it a little turn. [twirling around, turns off lamp] I did it! [jazz hands]

Agent:  Good job, Liza baby, good job.

Liza:  Pow! [jazz hands]

Agent:  And, we missed the show.

Liza:  The heck with Cats, let’s dance!

[Agent gets up to dance with Liza]

Announcer:  This has been Liza Minnelli Tries to Turn Off a Lamp.

Shameless, Cowardly Demons

This just makes me numb. The gun lobby knows their arguments are shit. Self-defense against a tyrannical government? Don't make me laugh - where are your M2 Brownings, your B-2 bombers, your tanks, your drones, your Blackhawks, your nukes, sir? Oh, don't have that? You're only equipped with a few measly AR-15s equipped with multiple 30-round magazines? How cute. Aw, what's that? Got a case of the boo-hoo-hoos on account of the fact that you know this won't stop the full force and fury of the U.S. military machine?

The parade of lies from the likes of baby-killer and terrorist Wayne LaPierre (he of the terrorist organization known as the "National Rifle Association") have stunningly worked again in our cowed Congress, even after Newtown. Twenty six- and seven-year-olds gunned down can't convince these 45 cold, soulless cowardly demons to even have a fucking debate on a measure to expand background checks so that criminally-minded and insane people can't buy semi-automatic human killing machines. This goes beyond shame. I'm glad I don't have kids, because I'd have to every day fear for their safety. Newtown could happen anywhere folks, and it likely will happen again, thanks to these 45 demons in the United States Senate.

Let's call each and every one these motherfuckers out. I don't care whether there's an R or a D next to your name, you evil fuck - you will be hearing from us, the sane 90%, soon (Harry Reid doesn't get a mention as his NO vote will make it possible to bring this up again):

Why is it that gun fanatics, gun fetishists, always come from rural districts and states? Most gun deaths happen in cities. But yet people in cites don't generally have this paranoid feeling about the federal government, and they don't think having semi-automatic weapons will "protect" them. How many times do I have to repeat this: statistics show that the more guns one is have in one's home, the more likely one will be killed by said guns. Statistics DON'T say that having a gun in your home makes you safer, and typically one doesn't have enough time to go get said gun and "protect" oneself should another gunperson break in with the intent to shoot and kill. Got it?

Zero. Arguments. Left.

The Coming Shitstorm

For a while now (1+ years) I’ve not posted to this blog. Chalk it up to perceived obsolescence of the form, apathy, despondence, whatever. My husband has inspired me to start writing again. And I don’t mean posting angry (yet justified) missives on Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes the long form is best.

Any day (month?) now a Republican pol (or corporate hack - what’s the difference?) will declare her candidacy for President of the United States of America. It seems a lot is at stake, but unlike 2004 there is no pretense at sanity among the elite of the Great Other Party. Fortunately this time sanity - the real kind - will likely win out in the end, but much damage will have been done in the meantime.

The Tea-Party-controlled U.S. House of Representatives has gone on a full-scale attack against working people, with no let-up in sight.
Sadly Obama seems to be going along with an alarmingly large portion of their extremist agenda. Tax cuts for the rich, for whom income tax rates are at their lowest since before FDR, do not strike a single member of the GOP majority as an obstacle to fiscal health - it’s as if there is a full-scale denial of reality here. There’s a deficit problem for the federal government? Well, then, everyone must pray to [what Paul Krugman terms] the “Confidence Fairy,” since through austerity measures like spending cuts to crucial programs and projects, corporate America will suddenly create millions of new high-paying, high-skilled jobs! Everyone knows how well that has played out in Britain! Complete delusion.

No, the Republican Party of today is so through the looking glass that if Ronald Reagan were to come back from the dead and run for a House seat in a district in California, say, or for a Senate seat in Illinois (his home state) - he would be drubbed out of the primaries by the tea-bagging fringe of (that now controls) his party. On almost every issue facing the country today a lie is concocted to justify their mean-spirited side.

Fascism takes root in environments such as 2011 Wisconsin, or 2011 Ohio, or 2011 Indiana, and can easily spread east and west from there. If Scott Walker gets to sign the union-busting bill into law in Wisconsin - it would only take ONE Democratic state senator re-entering the state, by the way - the damage done will be huge. Add this on top of the widely expected passage into law of an even more draconian bill in Ohio, and you have quite the shitstorm of plutocracy and fascism.

Wake up, Obama, and smell the “tea.” You can stand up to the bullies or you can appease them. Guess who and what will lose if you appease them.

On Political Anger

In looking back at the disgusting NY State Senate vote killing marriage equality, I've noticed my anger was directed more at the Democrats who voted against it than the Republicans. Maybe it's because I've written off all Republicans from ever doing the right thing, and so why bother with anger at this point. Maybe I'm angry because we lost even with a Democratic majority, and at the fact that 8 Democratic traitors voted to ruin gay marriage for the foreseeable future. 8 out of 32. A full quarter of the Democratic caucus in what should be a progressive state! A troubling number, to be positive, but still a small minority.

My anger at Republicans has transformed into a numb resignation. They are totally incapable of coming up with viable solutions to almost every major problem. Dude -- they vote as a fucking bloc! My violent frustration is with the handful of Democrats -- those members of the only opposition party there is to the madness of Republicanism -- who would vote in such an abhorrent way. We kept assuring ourselves of a blissful future if only Democrats could re-take the majority in Congress in 2006. Well, we got what we wished for, only to be let down time and time again with vote after vote keeping the war in Iraq going indefinitely, enabling Bush to spy on Americans and basically kowtowing to every Republican filibuster threat. Clearly we didn't get a progressive majority by any stretch of the imagination.

Who or what are we angry at? Are we more upset at the 8 Democrats in the NY Senate that voted to continue 2nd-class status of gays, or at the 30 Republicans who we just KNOW won't give a shit about us gays? And why? Or are we upset that this even has to be an issue -- that in 5 other states (NH is set to be legal in January) gays can marry legally but in the state that has been the home and birthplace of much progressive change it still can't happen? "Those 8 traitor Democrats!" we scream. And what about the 30 Republicans, none of whom have been called out on their bigotry? Where is their day of reckoning?

I think maybe my anger is more and more becoming directed at the fact that the Republican party is being allowed to survive and especially be perceived as credible opposition. This anger is likely motivated by the fear that today's Republicans could ever be in the majority again and be able to wreak utter destruction the likes of which we have not seen.

8 NY Democrats Who Should Be Thrown To The Wolves

From a NY Times editorial today:

"Also succumbing to what Senator Thomas Duane, a Democrat of Manhattan, called “contagious lack of backbone” were eight Democrats: Joseph Addabbo Jr., Darrel Aubertine, Rubén Díaz Sr., Shirley Huntley, Carl Kruger, Hiram Monserrate, George Onorato and William Stachowski."

Let's list these names again:

Joseph Addabbo Jr.
Darrel Aubertine
Rubén Díaz Sr.
Shirley Huntley
Carl Kruger
Hiram Monserrate
George Onorato
William Stachowski

Shame on all of these fucking bigoted cowards.

Of Bigots and Liars

What is it about a rainy day in December? Nothing can seem to go right. Today the NY State Senate voted down Marriage Equality with a vote of 24-38. Thirty-eight bigots, liars and cowards. Every single Republican (fascist) voted against, even after some had signaled they would vote for. What a surprise. No, it's the eight Democrats that should be given special mention here, for it is they that need to be fed to the wolves next year. Hopefully, it happens in the primaries, but failing that I see no reason to ever lift a fingerto help them get re-elected. Fuck them. What good is our 1-seat majority if we get this shit?

Ruben Diaz -- he, of some sorry-ass section of the Bronx -- is the prime target as far as I'm concerned. This bigot actually has the gall to deny he is a bigot, and then by arguing so forcefully against giving married gay people the hundreds of rights and financial incentives straight couples get, actually ends up defining what a bigot is.

This is why I hate religion.

Codified Petulance (a.k.a. The US Senate)

The 60-vote requirement for a cloture vote and the filibuster allowance, as we know them both today, have made the Senate into anything BUT the "greatest deliberative body in the world." Rather, these two devices have been used by right-wing politicians like a petulant child's temper tamtrum to stop legislation they personally don't like, the rest of the country be damned. There are 39 Republican senators -- scum -- supporting a filibuster on health care reform, NOT for more debate on it but to kill it. They only need two more ghoulish senators to agree with them and effectively kill tens of thousands of sick people who need medical help but can't afford it. These senators deserve a special place in hell. They are evil cowards who don't even have the guts to publicly register their No vote on actual legislation, and don't have the intellectual courage to back up any of their bullshit arguments against health care reform with actual facts. They have no grounds. They have no right.

Options, Options Everywhere!

What with the public option now going forth, and the option for states to 'opt out,' methinks there are just too many damn options. Health care is no option, it's a fuckin' right!
 
Hope you know what you're doing, Barry.

Caste Makes Waste

Nice going, CA Supreme Court. In what goddamn universe does denying the right to marry to a specific group of people not constitute a revision to your constitution's equal protection clause? This is a fail beyond fucking belief. Yes, it IS a revision, you morons! So now we have a sort of caste system in California: those straights with all the rights, those 18K+ married gays who get to still be married, and those in the LGBT community who are denied a basic civil right.

This flies in the face of everything that is rational and just.

Hey Catholic Church - go FUCK yourselves!
Hey Church of "Latter-Day Saints"- go FUCK YOURselves!

Bigoted freaks.

Conscience Protections And Religion

I've always had the belief that religious institutions have it as their "right" whether to gay marry or not to gay marry. The issue at stake here is the conference by the state (in this case, the States of the United States) of hundreds of rights on those individuals who are classified as "married."

But an interesting thing is happening here, or is about to happen in these states where gay-marry clouds and storms are gathering, and eventually across these "united" States. The Civil Rights Act of 1965 may just have to be revisited, for it bars ANY and ALL institutions, public and private (yeah, that means you, churches, synagogues and mosques), from discrimination based on race. Now that sexual orientation has been included in civil rights issues (for the most part, unless you're one of those tea-bagging types), this poses a problem for those photographers, caterers and wedding advisers (bitch, please!) whose consciences and religious convictions (bitch, please!) prevent them from helping out in the gay-marrying of others. Well, I suppose if you're Catholic this means you can refuse services to divorcees, no? Only that isn't happening. My thinking is evolving on this issue by the minute.

New Hampshirites, I suppose, will figure all this gay-marriage business out; they are, by and large, decent and compassionate people. I suppose also the idea of conscience protections is a distinctly American one, as the Washington Post suggests. I'm just not sure we should be going down this path, though. There is the public realm, there is the private realm, there is the "religious" realm. Yeah, religionists, you can have your segregation on Sunday mornings. Just don't impose your personal prejudices on the rest of us in the everyday dealings of commerce.

This is all going to be very messy and wind up in federal courts. The issue is clear to me, though. Florists cannot deny their business to gay-marriage ceremonies, period. That is rank discrimination, personal religious convictions be damned. The dime-store argument will be, and this I think is key: "Have you, Mr. Catholic Florist, ever given your services to a divorced person? ...No? But how do you know? ...You don't know? Well, then, wouldn't the fact that Ms. Malone is a divorcee bother you? I mean, you ARE a Catholic, and Catholics do object to divorce, no? This wouldn't bother you? Then on what grounds, Mr. Catholic Florist, would you refuse your services to Mr. and Mr. Jones?"

Open and shut, when you think about it.

Bullies

While I would not recommend anyone sit through all 6 minutes and 17 seconds of this drivel, I must say that watching the whole thing it reminded me of who and what bullies really are.

You see the same personality and psychological traits among those like Glenn Beck (and, while we're at it, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Samuel Werzelbacher, Michael Savage and, yes, Michelles Malkin and Bachmann and Ann Coulter--the list is terribly long but they are almost always white men...). It's the bully at work.

There are many things bullies may grow up to be, but I find two that are particularly notable. There's the oft-imagined path of big fat loser with six kids and a wife in a trailer park. And then there's the one traveled by the monster you see above. This is the path of the disgruntled yet opportunistic sourpuss who comes into some money through media savvy and then gets an outlet from which they can spew forth whatever imagined threats have come or are yet to come their way. Such imagined threats conveniently mask their own shortcomings. Perhaps they abuse their wives and/or kids. Perhaps they seek quick discreet gay sex in public parks (then maybe go on a gay-bashing spree). Many are racists. Many are misogynists. Almost all are homophobic. All are cruel and hateful--personality disorders in suits.

I knew boys like Glenn Beck in grade school, high school and college. The pasty-faced, ruddy-cheeked, round- and blue-eyed (yes, many are beady-eyed as well), big-framed types that walk with a swagger. The charm they learn is used to bludgeon, not persuade. (Perhaps in a sense Barack Obama is the anti-bully.) They are bombastic, rude and petty, yet they reveal, sometimes quite plainly, their insecurities and flaws in their abusive behavior. Take, for instance, the spelling and grammar errors in many right-wing responses in blogs, or in the right-wing blogs themselves. The writing in ALL CAPS. "Democrat" Party. (It's DemocratIC, you morons!) If you wanted to hide your illiteracy writing in a blog is not the way to do it.

There's no novelty in Fox News any more. We know they're lying. We know they propagandize. They're not coming up with anything new. It's the same old group-think'ed, paranoid talking points force-fed to an ever shrinking pool of teabag-obsessed know-nothing white people.

Ultimately the fate of a bully is that of a bore: they are just plain ignored.
