Dear Mr. Kerry: You’re a dolt.

k thx

Without even a quick look to check numbers, here’s how it stacks up for some of us:

Hitler

  • 20,000,000 Russians;
  • 6,000,000 Jews;
  • Miscellaneous Poles, Slovacks and on and on.

Assad

  • we don’t really know, but perhaps it’s in the hundreds or a thousand.

Hussein

  • who really knows for sure, because America, as it is doing now, obfuscates. We all know how much damage Saddam Hussein did on 9/11 to endure Butcher Bush’s crowd and its indignities. For those ignorant of the facts, the answer is none.

And just for the hell of it, let’s throw in the United States of America and see what we come up with.

  • Vietnam, courtesy of Henry Kissinger’s favorite Domino Theory country at the time, wherein Indochine would go all communist, all the time;
  • Iraq, thanks to the monumental dumbassery of Butcher Bush and his ignorant cronies;
  • Oh, and let’s not forget to add Cambodia and Pol Pot/Henry Kissinger into the mix;
  • And on and on. If you want numbers, go look it up. They’re horrendous in America’s own right.

Or wrong.

Hitler? Really? You had to drag out Hitler, as many Americans do when comparing people in their own country to a favorite bogey-man? Why, I’ll never understand, but for the most part, it’s probably ignorance. Deliberate ignorance of fact is not unknown in America.

Why not some American bogey-man? Oh, that’s right. America is the good guy in all of this, just waiting to bomb the shit out of more innocent civilian men, women and children to show the world how righteous it is.

God bless America in its pursuit of even more enemies around the world.

 

Politics, Stupidity plain and simple

Please don’t tell anyone in Congress about this…

because we all some a few of us know it wouldn’t be long before it would be implemented on this side of the ocean. For all we know, perhaps it has already been implemented in, you know, some country on this side of the ocean. A simple executive order would do it, for the most part, and Congress wouldn’t ever have to be consulted. Nor would the electorate.

Sound familiar?

Quoting an outside news source is now illegal. Linking to a news site is illegal. Opposing the government on your personal blog, of course, was already illegal, and those who did so were routinely prosecuted. –the Daily Dot

How’s that War on Drugs been workin’ out for ya so far, Amerikuh?

The New York Times revealed Tuesday that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has access to the entirety of telecom giant AT&T’s phone records.

the Hemisphere program enables swifter and more reliable tracking of drug dealers. The program “simply streamlines the process of serving the subpoena to the phone company so law enforcement can quickly keep up with drug dealers… –salon.com

What dumbassery.

Of course the American government and the DEA can quickly keep up with drug dealers by using a vast and illegal database. That’s why the importation and use of drugs is way, way down and rapidly decreasing. Because, you know, the government is listening, and the drug dealers are so very afraid.

Unrelated, but I have to say it anyway:

Already the American Constitution lies in tatters. Judges and courts spout corporate and government propaganda in their judgements. The middle class has been raped, pillaged and destroyed by greedy corporations. Politicians of all stripes are bought, sold and traded by big business and the lobbying machines like nothing more than the cattle they are. Mainstream media, owned by giant corporations, ignores and abdicates their responsibilities, then lines up to see who can kiss more government ass, faster.

The biggest joke of all: Ignorant citizens, ad nauseum, hold high three-word signs, much photographed, proudly declaring, We the People.

Doesn’t anyone know the rest of it?

The next two presidential elections will seal the fate of America. If not one of them will begin to put an end to the abject stupidity, there will be no end to the road America has chosen to travel. Ever. Sadly, many nations will be drawn in to Amercia’s nightmare, as others have in the past during related excursions by other countries.

I really hope I’m wrong on this, but I don’t think I will be.

First came Pearson’s Thesis DIY, now 8bit is down the toilet

Leave a comment

As they say on their web site,  it’s all been swell – unless you’re a paid customer. They even had the temerity to post their picture.

I warned about subscribing to a paid theme, particularly Chris Pearson’s DIY Thesis series of blunders and owner/manager stupidity and pigheadedness. Now 8bit, another fly-by-night paid WordPress theme builder, has closed its doors. You can read about 8bit’s disgruntled paid subscribers and their money-down-the-drain woes here. Don’t take too long, though. They’ll soon be disappearing with all the marbles. And the cash.

Scroll down their page to read some of the comments from disgruntled customers who paid for the theme and “lifetime” support, only to learn that the outfit would be going out of business only a few months later. The joke is on you, sucker.

Here are a few prime reasons for not subscribing to a paid WordPress theme:

this is the final goodbye and the Support Forums will continue to be open for another 30 days – after that we will no longer support our products, including our core product Standard Theme.

The losers can’t even afford to keep the support forums online for the fools that paid for a service. Obviously, the complete incompetence of the outfit extends to “better ideas” too. Adding insult to injury, the hapless losers recommend that their customers could move on to two other paid themes. Yeah, right. I’m sure they’ll be doing that real soon now.

Whatever you do, folks, do not, ever, subscribe to Chris Pearson’s Thesis DIY themes. Consider yourself warned.

If  8bit was capable of paying a few bucks out of the cash they fleeced from recent subscriptions, you’d think they could at least afford to lay out a little of their customers’ money to keep a web site open for a year. Yuk yuk yuk it up, customers. You lose too.

There will be a lot more of this, I’m sure, in the paid theme business. Fortunately, I had nothing invested in 8bit.

Thesis DIY is another matter entirely, and I’m happy that I now have moved away from the loser of a theme and owner/manager/tech support “guru” Chris Pearson who could care less about my investment in a promised product that was never, ever! delivered in a timely manner.

It’s all been swell if you’re pocketing the cash.

Why can’t America just STFU?

The Americans are still at it.

the Obama administration bluntly accused the Syrian government of Bashar Assad on Friday of launching a chemical weapons attack that killed at least 1,429 people — far more than previous estimates — including 426 children. –National Post

  • How many innocent civilians has America’s Black Butcher murdered without benefit of trial because of America’s ridiculous drone strike program that is used to murder innocent men, women and children around the world?
  • How many innocent children, women and men has the Black Butcher murdered while huffing and puffing and making claims that they were terrorists? Who is America to be judge, jury and executioner? What goes around, usually comes around, sooner or later, you murdering butchers.
  • How stupid does America think the rest of the world is, exactly?

Not even Great Britain, a nation with its boots stuck so far up America’s ass that only the heels are visible from the outside, chooses to polish American jackboots this time – thanks to a Parliament that decided not to be duped again.

the international community cannot allow a “thug and a murderer” to use weapons of mass destruction with impunity.

Thanks for that little nugget of insanity, John Kerry. Now then, when will you American thugs and murderers stop butchering men, women and children around the world with impunity? Your drone strikes put you and yours in the same thug and murderer category, n’est-ce pas?

Really, guys? Four times a year?

Given that many of these guys probably still live with mummy and daddy, I’d go so far as to question the training they receive. As far as the couples at every 2.3 weeks, I’d say the English countryside is no better than a pig pen.

* shrug *

Now you all know why I don’t like to shake hands – not that there aren’t other reasons for that aversion.

In another lifetime, from what I could tell and see, they didn’t do a lot of washing and scrubbing, either. Thankfully, I have no reason to return.

Inshallah, he will handle it

I never in my entire life thought for one soul-searching minute that I would ever agree with something that Sarah Palin spouted, but in this case, I’m all for it.

Let Allah handle it.

Once again, America will insert its jackboots into the Middle East. And to what benefit? Syria has never known a democracy that actually worked.

So then, America, get over your view of yourself as a world policeman. Nobody really gives a shit, other than a few 24-hour news programs that sell commercials on the backs of gas attacks and people butchering each other, and the warhawks that support the military-industrial complex that runs your puppet government.

Leave the foreign devils to sort it out on their own. And, while I’m on the subject of America’s interventionist foreign policy, take your jackboots out of every other country in the world while you’re at it. No one wants you in their country. No one. Bring your rust-bucket navy home, along with those blood-thirsty marines that strut about and generally screw things up, whether they’re in combat or just sitting around on their fat American asses.

To use a phrase that became quite common in the ’60s and ’70s, ignorant, vicious, blood-sucking, murdering, crude and cruel, Yankee go home*.

Where’s the SDS when you really need it?

*Well, all right, I added ignorant, vicious, blood-sucking, murdering, crude and cruel, but I don’t think it’s out of context.
