Poor Mojo's Two Minute Hate

Both major party presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain point to high gasoline prices and say, "Let's punish oil companies by stealing some of their profits."

So much for common sense. Oil companies have to make a good percentage of profit in order to afford new drilling or new refining capacity so as to create more supply. Without increased supply, demand will drive prices higher than ever. But then nobody ever accused politicians of exhibiting common sense, wouldn't you say?...

Profits are a measure of efficiency and wise decisions. Since government does not use profit as a measure, governments have no way of gauging their own efficiency or the wisdom of their own decisions ... and of course most departments of most governments become notoriously inefficient. This reason alone is enough to justify extremely limited (libertarian) government.

Nonetheless politicians and bureaucrats, to live with themselves psychologically, have to justify in their minds what they are doing. Otherwise most of them would feel so much inner conflict they would quit politics or government service altogether. Therefore, government worshippers tend to develop a subconscious hatred for profits.

"Oh, don't get us wrong. We don't hate profits. We just hate obscene profits!"

Who are they kidding? There are no such things as obscene wise decisions or obscene efficiencies. They hate because they are afraid of efficiency and wise decisions ... two realms they are not accustomed to.

Huh?...

ollowing Hardaway's initial remarks on Wednesday ("I hate gay people. I let it be known, I don't like gay people. I don't like to be around gay people.") the NBA canceled an "NBA legend" appearance by the former point guard at the YMCA of Southern Nevada as well as his participation in events surrounding this weekend's All Star game in Las Vegas.

Hardaway has also been dumped as spokesman for Baldguyz, a company that makes grooming products for bald men, according to the Miami Herald.

From US:

Come on, Lindsay, you’re not Britney Spears. You shouldn’t be requesting McDonald’s and sex – or, as Britney would say, McDonald’s and making babies. You’re a single childless coke whore with a minor in alcoholism. Be proud of that and do whatever you need to do to feel special, especially if it means fulfilling my $1,000 prediction in this month’s dead pool.

My reply: "Yeah, but never in the ass. It's like, Thanks for nothing, bitch."

I hope they run it.

And of course, the two Republicunt Senators from my state, Thad Cochran and Trent Lott, of fucking course these douchebags of the highest order voted FOR this bill. I mean, it isn't like Mississippi isn't currently one of the poorest states in the nation.

For fuck's sake, the people who benefit from the minimum wage aren't criminals or deadbeats. These are people, young and old, married and single, with children and without, who are WORKING to feed themselves and their families. These are people who are actually employed, taking part in the economy and buying their small pieces of the American Dream. These are the same people who can't afford fucking health care, and you want to make sure that employers will now start paying them less? Do you really hate poor people that much? Are you really such a fan of feudalism and no-wage slavery that you want to remove such an important protection from the working poor?

Fuck you, you fat bag of asses. Get a real goddamn job.

Since the 'God Hates a Fag' video spread out across the 'Net this week, gays everywhere have been channeling their favorite Charlie's angel and sleuthing to get to the bottom of a Christian rock music video so anti-gay -- and yet so gay -- no one was sure if it was real or a hoax.

Now there are strong signs pointing to it being a slick parody of the ex-gay Christian movement. Joe.My.God has word that ex-gay minister/singer Donnie Davies featured in the video is really actor Todd Quillen. He's straight, according to his MySpace page -- where he also offers moustache rides for a dollar.

Blogger Simon Jones deconstructs several elements in the video, including fake guitar playing and Davies' "bands to watch out for" -- tagged as such because they turn kids gay. (My favorite: Cole Porter.) I especially appreciated Jones' point about YouTube's decision to remove the video from their service: "Ironic then that the video sharing site have never felt the same sense of urgency to remove any of the actual God Hates Fags spew that comes from the Westboro Baptist Church and the Reverend Fred Phelps."

"Donnie Davies" posted another video on YouTube yesterday which he describes as "a little chat with Donnie about what has been happening." Here, his gimmick already seems more transparent:

This part just leapt off the screen:

And he wonders why they hate us? No matter what Dinesh D'Souza thinks, they don't hate us because we allow women outside the house, or because of birth control or homosexuality or Michael Moore's weight. They hate us because we have this idea that everything in the world is ours by some kind of divine right -- this "What is our oil doing under their sand" mentality that has caused us to make one boneheaded decision in the Middle East after another for as long as I've been alive.

And this nimrod has the nerve to ask the Iraqis to be GRATEFUL?

With the Litvinenko saga continuing to dominate the weekend papers (tons of coverage in Saturday’s Guardian, for example, trying to satisfy a vacuous need for dime store mystery and suspense) it’s possible to forget that nothing very much can be said conclusively. But it’s interesting that in the absence of fact there’s plenty that is known being ignored or sidelined.

According to sources, the hopped-up comedian hopped onstage Saturday at L.A.'s Improv comedy club and dropped the n-bomb on a room full of stunned clubgoers....

As Dick exited the stage, he suddenly grabbed the mic and shouted at the crowd, "You're all a bunch of niggers!"

The stunned crowd gasped and stared at each other.

Dennis Rogers, a columnist for the News & Observer... stated that the U.S. military was responsible for his college diploma. Rogers reinforced what a retired colonel once told me, “The military is the best social welfare program ever created.” The military provides low-income blacks and whites a ticket to higher education and the upper-middle class.

What these protestors fail to realize is that the disproportionate ratio of low-income enlistees stem from the failure of liberal social policy. The public schools and welfare programs have failed to provide for those in poverty and those with limited access to social mobility. The military always has and always will provide young men and women who would otherwise make no progress on the social ladder a chance to do so.

Meanwhile, we have white, liberal trust-fund babies screaming at military recruiters while still claiming support for the troops. I defy anyone to find a protestor who does not believe every word John Kerry said when testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971. “We think they’re a bunch of racist, mutilating rapists, but we support the troops.” Bull.

"One-legged bitch! How dare you do this to Paul! Die ugly dog!"...

"His kids were right about you. You will never be a lady! Linda was a real wife. You are a nobody. Now clear off and disappear!"

Richards on Wednesday contacted the Rev. Al Sharpton and offered an apology, which Sharpton did not accept, according to CNN. "I [told Richards] you need to sit down and deal with this," said Sharpton, per the article. "This is not about accepting an apology, this is about starting a process to really deal with the continual problem of racism in this country."...

Mediastar at "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" writes, "I am so unimpressed with his sorry excuse for an apology. I get so sick and damn tired of celebrities and politicians making ugly, racist, ignorant remarks then coming back with a scripted 'I'm sorry.' What exactly are they sorry about? Sorry they have to apologize? Sorry they're ignorant? Sorry they're stupid?"

UK media correspondent Andrew Gumbel, in an entry at "The Huffington Post," had this to say, from a British point of view:

People who write and think about our intense attraction to the famous often say that when we worship celebrities, we are following a Darwinian urge to revere beauty or preeminence. Paris Hilton attracts our interest much the way Arnold Schwarzenegger does, according to this view: they are alphas, creatures that have made it to the top of the pack, and we can’t help but gaze at them with fascination....

But the evolutionary theory of celebrity does not begin to explain Paris Hilton mania for one reason: people hate the woman. She must be the most powerful snark magnet in history....

Still, to check out the megabytes of commentary that follow Paris’s every embarrassing move is to be struck by a loathing that confutes the Darwinian explanation. Cries of “nonentity,” “rich white trash,” “no-talent,” “brainless hussy,” and “hotel heirhead” echo throughout cyberspace. Politically incorrect slurs like “tramp,” “tart,” “slut,” “skank,” and “skanktron” have suddenly become acceptable again, as long as Paris is their target. But that’s just the everyday bile. Hilton hatred has been muse to striking bouts of creativity from the popular press. In the 1930s, Walter Winchell coined the term “celebutante” to describe Brenda Frazier, a socialite famous enough to make the cover of Life and Paris Hilton’s closest sociological ancestor; well, in the spirit of Winchell, the New York Post’s “Page Six” has anointed Paris “celebutard.” Not to be outdone, the online gossip ’zine Defamer ventured “celebutante vaginalist.”

[T]here’s this big bird (bigger than me) sitting in the fridge instead of the oven. I asked Momma what the deal was and she said it was for Thanksgiving and that we would be eating him in 2 days. 2 days! I don’t know 2 days from 2 minutes or 2 years. All I know is that means more WAITING!

And if all of that isn’t bad enough she came home this morning with my Christmas cards to send out, but said I would have to WAIT to get any in the mail from my friends!

I’m headed for a breakdown and fast! Oh, and I forgot the biggest waiting of all…Present Day, which you hoomans call Christmas! I can’t take it I tell you!

Insiders from the Clinton camp winced at Carville's untimely remarks last week calling for Dean's ouster in favor of unsuccessful Senate candidate Harold Ford of Tennessee.

"It was not coming from [Sen. Hillary Clinton] and they made a real effort to distance themselves from James' comments," said a source close to the Clintons.

The Clintonistas don't want an undeserved backlash from the activist wing of the party that overwhelmingly supports Dean, especially because some anti-Clinton Democrats have blamed Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) for the attack by Carville, a longtime Clinton insider. Those forces claimed Carville's motive was to topple Dean in favor of a chairman more favorable to Sen. Clinton's bid for President....

“I am absolutely convinced that the main source of hatred in the world is religion,” Hitch told a crowd of receptive undergraduates gathered to hear him explain why freedom of speech should include the freedom to hate.

The launch allotment is looking to be more like 150k - 200k instead of the 400k which is down from the original world wide 2,000,000, but there may be as many as 750k systems shipped by the end of the year (yeah right). IGN Link: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/746/746181p1.html

Further more, it has even more problems (then we thought). Here's another IGN link: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/746/746492p2.html
Retail store units are over heating. The system can't scale images (the 360 upscales your old games and can upscale 720p games to 1080i). Etc, etc, etc.

And the new Mantra has begun: “It’s the Democrat’s fault!”.

The democrat win has emboldened the enemy because they see the Democrat Party as weak, venerable, and willing to retreat in the face of the enemy. While the terrorist are losing on the battlefield and are in their last strains of life, they are empowered by Democrat control of the US Government and what they lost on the battlefield, they will gain in the political realm and will in turn win the war on terror.

This is all the Democrats fault. For 12 years, they blamed the republicans for everything including hangnails and hurricanes.. Now that they are in charge, they must take the blame for the up tick in terrorism and the loss of the war on terror due to their anti-American stances, policies, insurrection, and Treasonous acts.

Hard-partying Lohan yelled the obscenity towards Hilton on Wednesday night in front of a throng of paparazzi as she was leaving a club in Hollywood.

And, it was all caught on tape!

"In my faith, that's what it says, and I'm a believer of that," the governor said.

Throughout much of the 90-minute service at Cornerstone Church, Mr. Perry sat on the red-carpeted stage next to the Rev. John Hagee. Mr. Perry was among about 60 mostly Republican candidates who accepted the invitation to be introduced to the megachurch's congregation of about 1,500, plus a radio and TV audience.

He later fell thru the ceiling into another room, where he was arrested.

Lt. Chris Bertram of the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s office says he’s a very dangerous person and that’s why he was public enemy number one.

“It was some of the things he was engaged in,” says Bertram. “He was a member of a white supremacist gang. He had made statements that he wasn’t willing to go back to prison. There was information gathered that he had armed himself. Anytime you have a felon armed with a parole warrant that’s a dangerous combination.

The Sunday Times newspaper said the proposal was in reaction to the number of such children who were surviving because of medical advances.

The college argued "active euthanasia" should be considered for the good of families, to spare parents the emotional burden and financial hardship of bringing up the sickest babies.

Named by Time Magazine as among the "25 most influential evangelicals in America", Mr Haggard reportedly talks regularly with President George Bush or his advisors. He was credited with encouraging Christians to vote for Mr Bush in his 2004 re-election.

The pastor supported a proposed amendment to the Colorado constitution, that will be on next week's ballot, defining marriage as between a man and a woman, a "wedge issue" with which the Republicans hope to galvanise their supporters.
