Top 5

Goodfellas is on HBO right now, god damn this movie kicks fucking ass.

Fuckin' Pussy

Bush Taken to Bunker After Radar Blip

I thought the real American cowboy took chances and laughed in the face of danger

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.

Europe through the Back Door

I cant believe PBS has a travel show designed solely for homosexuals. God, they're so liberal.

Antichrist/Death to Christ

wowwowowow! apparently this new pope is a bigger idiot than even i thought. i can see where he's coming from on the eagles thing, but the fucking beatles, give me a break. lucky for you catholics he's 78 and probably wont be around long enough to fuck too much shit up. stay tuned.

Holy Roman Crap!

Pope Benedict Arnold XVI was a Nazi youth and wanted a Pope even more conervative than JPII. Ayiyiyiyiyi.

Good shit

"In front of me stand the high mountains of craving and anger. Far, far beyond them is the infinite."

- Vinoba, quoting a Marathi abhang psalm, from Talks on the Gita

Sore

I joined a basketball (real, not fantasy) league, and we had our first game yesterday. I thought I was in pretty good shape, but nevertheless, I almost puked and am sore as fuck today.

Mother In-Law MD

I've been diagnosed by my mother in-law with ADD... Aren't in-laws great?

Between Nothingness and Eternity

by Sri Chinmoy

Barren of events,
Rich in pretensions
My earthly life.

Obscurity
My real name.

Wholly unto myself
I exist.

I wrap no soul
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.

Injustice of Injustices

I just found out I was fucked out of a first round playoff win in my fantasy basketball league because the fucking commissioner forget how to fucking add since he moved to fucking Costa Rica. The shit Bush pulls is sneaky and underhanded, but it doesn't really effect my day to day. This shit hits home. I am in contact with legal counsel to explore all avenues of recourse, and have not ruled out litigation.

Coming Soon to a Democracy Near You...

When those damn liberals get too popular, just throw 'em in jail.

Mexico Presidential Leftist Hopeful Faces Jail Time

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.

Discipline

It's not just doing something you need to do. It's doing something you need to do, but don't want to.

John Paul...Jones?

I don't have a TV so, much like waingroh, I miss out on all of the really important news. Today I got into work and read that apparently the bass player for Led Zeppelin died over the weekend. At least he didn't O.D. when he was 25. Too sad.

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

FORT WORTH, Texas (Reuters) - A former high-ranking Boy Scouts of America official who led a task force to prevent child sex abuse pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a federal charge of receiving and distributing child pornography.

Bitchslap!

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."
