#1 Rule for Right Wing Leaders

How much you oppose gay rights, is directly proportional to the likely hood that you will be caught sometime in the future doing things you shouldn't with underage boys, and/or gay male prostitutes.

Faith in Right

I remain an optimist, not that there is any evidence that I can give that right is going to prosper, but because of my unflinching faith that right must prosper in the end….. Our inspiration can come only from our faith that right must ultimately prevail.

Dr. J/O

Reader M writes in and asks:

...I guess you could say I'm a somewhat normal guy. I'd say my stroke frequency is regular, to very regular. But sometimes I go through periods where I can't beat it enough, which I guess is not that weird, but after a good clip, like 9-12 times I start to feel real guilty. I'm not really doin' anything wrong, I'm just yanking my crank. But I still feel guilty and shameful, Is this normal?????

First things first, lets get one thing straight, M, get rid of the idea that there is any kind normal j/o. If you do it, it (probably)is normal. I would suggest one thing though. When you're stroking upwards of 10 times a day I would imagine you're depleting valuable hormones and nutrients.

I believe it would be diagnosed as post j/o depression, the opposite would be post j/o euphoria. It's primarily a chemical imbalance caused by a little too much poppin' of the pete. If you are having this problem, and insist on beating it that much, I would recommend taking some supplements. It seems that some of the products used for distance can also be used for treating PJ/OD. I believe Peter North has a good one on the market, also you could try TT's new one, Load Maximizer.

I hope that helped, and keep those letters coming.

2005-07-04T21:15:00.000-07:00

WOW

I was sucked once again into the gaping hole that is internet porn, and have barely had time to breathe, let alone blog.

I've wanted to get away from the whole political blog thing for a long time, cuz that's pretty much covered by guys a lot smarter than me, or at least a lot less of a life. It just gets kind of old. I still have strong beliefs, but reading and writing about the same shit everyday doesn't do much other than raise my blood pressure.

It seems the lefty blogs have become the equivalent of right-wing talk radio. A bit more intelligent and thoughtful, but only really serves the purpose of keeping the true believers frothing at the mouth. I mean, I know this administration is a bunch whipdickedfuckfaces, so can I go about my day now?

I've never really read any solutions, and the whole get behind the Democrats thing kind of makes me feel like a used up 3 dollar whore. Nobody really acknowledges that the 8 years of Clinton paved the way for these yahoos. It's not like there was a coup d'etat, it was a pretty seamless transition. Look around the world, other the civilians of Iraq and Afghanistan, life hasn't changed that much for the poor around the world, or even in this country for that matter.

Oh, well, I said I wanted to get away from politics. Which makes this the perfect opportunity to start the first masturbatory blog. Blogging all things autoerotic. The first tip will be on stroking with your left hand leaving your right free to point and click (or stick your finger up your ass, but that comes in chapter 8).

So pass it on, if you need help with your jerkin', or maybe your looking for more distance, if strokin' your beef is too inefficient, or you spend to much time playing with your Pete, I'm here to help. And ladies, don't be shy, you've always heard that no one can do it like a guy. Well, if you stick around here long enough you'll be able to pull yer ol' mans pud better than he can himself.

Freedomship

The capitalists have always use the term "freedom" to mean freedom for the rich to get richer and for the workers to starve to death. And capitalist usage, freedom of the press means freedom of the rich to bribe the press, freedom to use their wealth to shape and fabricate so-called public opinion. In this respect, too, the defenders of "pure democracy" prove to be defenders of an utterly foul and venal system that gives the rich control over the mass media. They prove to be deceivers of the people, who, with the aid of plausible, fine-sounding, but thoroughly false phrases, divert them from the concrete historical task of liberating the press from capitalist enslavement.

Fuck Reality

The Bush administration also hopes its anti-poverty message can counter a leftward shift, symbolized most notably by the anti-American populism of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, whom Rice calls a destabilizing force.

Very Destabilizing:

Venezuela's economic recovery is bolstering Chavez's popularity. In the first quarter of this year, gross domestic product increased by nearly 30 percent. Economic growth should top 10 percent for all of 2004. The restructuring of PdVSA and the company's rapidly expanding domestic investment are contributing strongly to economic growth.

According to preliminary reports released by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Venezuela registered the largest level of economic growth in Latin America, from a negative balance of 9.7% in 2003 to a positive balance of 18% in 2004.

The Wall Street Journal also frequently features negative news and opinions of Venezuela, while ignoring the country's unprecedented economic growth that reached 17% in 2004, the highest in the world.

Barren of events,
Rich in pretensions
My earthly life.

Wholly unto myself

In my embrace.

No mentor worthy
Of my calibre
Have I.

I am all alone
Between failure
And frustration.

I am the red thread
Between
Nothingness
And Eternity.

Made in America

On my kid's preschool channel that we watch in the morning, there was a little short on how crayons are made at the factory. It was pretty cool, except all the footage was done in about '73. Why would a channel that produces such slick educational blurbs, be using footage from the '70s. My first thought was that crayon making hasn't changed all that much in the last thiry years. It might not have, I don't know. But then I realized, there probably are no crayon factories in the US anymore. To show a crayon factory now would involve the armed gaurds forcing kids the same age as the kids watching to make crayons.

Probably oughta stick with the one from the '70s.

Saturday Conspiracy Therory

Everyone I know, including me, has been sick all winter, well past the sniffles and a little cough. This has kind of made me wonder, and being that I am completely paranoid and full of sensational ideas I have concluded the government is to blame. I think Jello Biafra can express it best:

"Government Flu"

We got a drug
We're gonna try it out on you
Won't make you die
It'll getcha just a little bit sick

Got a head cold
Got a chest cold
And it's three days old
(Goin' on forever)
Make you hazy
Make you lazy
Drive you crazy
For days and days and days and days and days
And years

Barely got the time now
To stay on the job
Double up the dosage in your water supply
Make you even sicker 'til you're slippin' away

Getting all depressed
It's getting all your friends
You can't get it up
For nothing that'll rock the boat

The government flu
The government flu
The government flu

Slip it abroad
Keep a-slowin' down the USSR
But meanwhile
We'll keep an eye
On what it's doin' to you

Got a head cold
Got a chest cold
And it's three days old
(Goin' on forever)
Make you hazy
Make you lazy
Drive you crazy
For days and days and days and days and days
And days and days and days and days and days
And days and days and days and days and days
And years

The government flu
The government flu
The government flu
Flew
Through
You

Judge Stanley Birch laid the smackdown on dubya and congress today...

"Any further action by our court or the district court would be improper. While the members of her family and the members of Congress have acted in a way that is both fervent and sincere, the time has come for dispassionate discharge of duty. In resolving the Schiavo controversy, it is my judgment that, despite sincere and altruistic motivation, the legislative and executive branches of our government have acted in a manner demonstrably at odds with our Founding Fathers' blueprint for the governance of a free people — our Constitution."

F-letter is here to stay. I know some of the long time fans aren't to happy about a upstart-smartass getting contributor status, but I can assure you as time goes on you'll be even more pissed off. I am also in negotiations with infrequent, but effective commenter Hot Taco to join the Ludis team. He is currently demanding too much controll, but I think something can be worked out.
I know there have been rumblings about chemistry problems between F-letter and Waingroh, but I never could pass chemistry and I love a good online feud.
I need a number of contributers to keep the content fresh, because my job is about as blogging friendly as it is to be a homo in the Republican Party. And most of my time on the internets is spent looking at gay porn, so I'm just glad I'm not a Republican.

What ever happened with Scott Peterson and Robert Blake? I'm assuming gay marriage is still the single most important topic in everyone's daily lives. Living without cable TV news sure does leave you in the dark about all the important things in life. And I'm missing all the must-see-TV new Military Channel episodes.

The Military Channel

I've always kind of liked the History Channel, except you have to put up with a lot of pro-defense spending (thanks webber) shows. Shows that tell you how great the A-10 Warthog is, or the divine benevolence of the B-2 bomber. Well it looks like they have finally decided to cut out the middle man. Last night during Myth Busters I saw a commercial for the brand new Military Channel. I instantly had visions of the "Luftwaffe Channel" or maybe even the "Stasi Channel".
A nipple is bad, but a channel solely devoted to glorifying war is good, if not patriotic.

Block
I can't really think of any thing to write about, so I'll let the guys from the Star Wars Board do it for me. The following are in know way fabricated, or altered in any way.

The thought of Mace Windu quoting the prophecy as he's about to cut Jango's head off comes to mind...

Yeah, in ANH there was no real inkling that a romance would develop, ESB definately laid the groundwork, and ROTJ confirmed it for them and us. I really don't think GL's forte is love stories. He did however choose the correct roles for Luke and Leia' parents. It's fitting that their father was a jedi and their mother a queen/senator, I mean it would be silly to have their father, say, be a land speeder mechanic and their mother working in a blaster factory.

For you know my name is the Force when I drop my vengence on thee
The first rule of Monkey Knife Fight? DON'T TALK ABOUT MONKEY KNIFE FIGHT

I guess it's an inherent fault to their status. They're high class members of an eloquent society, watched by the rest of the galaxy; Anakin is a Jedi padawan, Amidala a regal queen-turned-senator. Creating a love story between the two while maintaining their dignity (particularly Padme's) is difficult, if not awkward. While Leia is a princess/senator, she isn't what you would call regal. Watching her being wooed by a dirty space smuggler is inherently charming... to the last.

Well when it comes to words, Anakin probably didn't get a good education on Tatooine; he probably only learned to speak Basic from his mother (makes you wonder why he didn't pick up her Swedish accent, heh heh). At the Jedi Temple, new recruits, who are usually toddlers or very young children, must be given an adequate education. While Anakin was relatively fluent in the language, he probably didn't know any history or science or maybe even how to write, so I assume Anakin learned more here. Throw in the fact that for a good 10 years he remained obsessed about that pretty girl from Naboo, he probably spent many a lonely night thinking of what he'd say if he ever met her again. When they finally met again, their first encounter was awkward and stumbly, but once they kissed, Anakin simply found the words that were right. Besides, he had plenty of time to think about it over dinner.

I mean, I always imagined there would be more living flesh in Vader, but just the head and spine? He could use at least SOME organic internal organs...

Who the fuck is Mace Windu?

History

A lot can be learned by living under President George W. Bush. Simple things, like checking with my wife and family before I make serious decisions. Having plans for all phases of a job...before I start it. Not spending money I don't have. Personal responsibility. Admitting when I'm wrong, and owning up to mistakes. Discuss problems as they happen and be willing to change, ad infinitum. Pretty much what ever he does, do the opposite and you've developed very simple, but effective rules to live by.

Deep Thoughts

by Jack Ludis Handy

I've come to the conclusion that hating the Bush Administration is not going to do me any good. It only pisses me off and forces me to take it out on people that have nothing to do with them. It doesn't mean I am going to not oppose their policies, but the mindless hatred has not gotten me too far. My overall happiness in life should not be directly proportional to the political climate of the country, because I'm looking at a pretty miserable existence if it is.

Is it April or May?

Chavez

Link
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Saturday sang and danced along with thousands of people in Kolkata where the Communist leader was accorded a rousing welcome. Chavez swayed to the tunes of Spanish songs dished out by a musical group at a football stadium, where about 50,000 people packed in to hear an emotional anti-imperialist speech by the Venezuelan leader. "The US can not expect to grab and enjoy all the good things in the world. We will not let that happen," Chavez, who spoke in Spanish, said to a huge roar of approval from the crowd. While Chavez spoke animatedly against "US imperialism", top Communist leaders of West Bengal, including Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattachaya, nodded and clapped, agreeing with what he said. "We will provide more oil to countries like India and China. We have come forward to help India with oil so that it can become a front ranking country in the world," he said. Thousands of people, including school students and women, waited for hours for Chavez to arrive. He was late by about two-and-a-half hours as people whiled away their time listening to Spanish songs played on a public address system. Schoolchildren waved flags of India and Venezuela.

Not that you'd know it by watching the news or anything, but Hugo Chavez has been in India. He is beginning to look like the leader of the developing world's opposition to the US. I think there are several reasons he can do this. First and foremost, he is extremely charismatic, and has so far stood the test of time.

Second, he is president of the world's fifth largest producer of oil. Oil is always sure to piss off the US. Instead of handing contracts to US multinationals, he can give them to Brazilian, or Indian companies. Chavez can provide oil contracts beneficial to the third world in order to level the playing field with the US and Europe.

Third, Venezuela is in the Western Hemisphere. The US can only try covert operations, never direct action, Latin America would never stand for it. And Venezuela's opposition is so fragmented and corrupt, covert ops are not likely to get far.

Fourth, the international policies of the US over the past 50 years (not just the past 4) have led to a number of new style leftist governments in important countries all over the developing world; Brazil, India, Bolivia, to name a few. This provides Chavez with a natural alliance. When lumped in with the OPEC countries, what's left of the old school communist countries (China, Cuba, North Korea), and a few "rogue nations", like Iran and you have an alliance of countries vastly different in makeup and belief, but all desperately poor and have felt first hand the results of US imperialism. This alliance could be nothing to shake a stick at, and also makes Chavez appear more Statesman like, and less of saber wielding strongman.

An alliance like this is unlikely, the US has succeeded for so long by exploiting the differences of the developing world. But left unchecked by the Soviets, and the inept brazenness of Bush, it's not at all impossible.

Here's some more links about the trip to India and Chavez in general, if at all interested. Here, here,here and here

Not so fast...

It was an absolutely beautiful day today and I took my Monte Carlo out for a Sunday drive in North Portland. I was feeling like the king 'till I pulled up to the corner of N Fessenden and Portsmouth. A Caprice pulled up at the exact same, this thing had wire rims, chrome everywhere, and I swear the driver was sitting in the back seat. I pretty much pissed down my leg and he drove by laughing. At least he didn't bump it on to three wheels just to rub it in.

Who'd of thought

I never would have. Life can still be fun without drugs and alcohol. I can still be just as socially irresponsible, I just don't wind up puking and sleeping on the bathroom floor.

Not puking is cool.

There is evidence that suggests so, but as of now is unconfirmed.

Traffic has nearly tripled since coming back online, as of 5:00 west coast time we're up to 11 visitors... I can feel that Atrios link coming any day now...

Back Online

Well, ludis is officially back online, at least for this week. We've had a few casualties, John Winger died of an apparent drug overdose. Waingroh couldn't handle the "stress" of living in the "States", and left the country to work with those much less fortunate...Mainly prostitutes. ActionJack became a law enforcement official, and Sheebur still thinks Kerry won.
I'm not sure what shape the blog will take, I actually don't really care. But you can count on us to provide the best in crude and unnecessary commentary, masturbation tips, info on closeted male hookers, and unrelated stories from the realms of fantasy.

Relatively Painless

I've been dealing with several different departments with the State of Oregon today, and it's not nearly as big a pain in the ass as I thought it would be. I'm not saying it doesn't hurt at all, but it's not too bad. Everyone is pretty friendly for being a Govt. employee. Big ups to you SecrAtary of State's office.

It's good to be back.

Just Wondering

At what point does internet-porn go from being a healthy release to an obsession and self-destructive?

(not that I'm worried...well, not too much..I can handle my porn)

On a unrelated note, does everyone think The Rockford Files Theme rocks as fucking hard as I do? Magnum PI is not too bad either...

2005-03-02T07:30:00.000-08:00

Not as Bad as I Thought

I must say that living in Bush's America is not nearly as bad I thought it would be. It's actually quite amusing. The secret police have not showed up at my door, and I can still pretty much do what ever I want.
Besides, Kerry would have never hired a gay male prostitute...God works in mysterious ways.
