American Idiot

"Childrens"


If there is a God, he's abandoned us. Must be a race of sentient beetles on Arcturus that shows a better ability to evolve.


Fuck It. Mekons tonight. Post-apocalyptic Campfire Songs.

  1. Is there supposed to be a link in your post? 'Cause I don't get it. Am I missing something?

    Well, anyway-- I'm back to bloglife after an extended hiatus to finish hammering out my book on the history of Caledonia. So, pop over and read my scathing indictment of Ned Yost if you get time.

  2. Yes, but in the official White House transcripts, they removed the s. Can it be official if it's edited?? Seems to me they shouldn't be able to do that. Quote what the man said and the man said, "Childrens".

    Grrrrrr.

  3. If they can wiretap and Americans without a warrant, are we going to worry about a little editing to make a dolt look like he actually can handle the english language?

    Nick, I didn't put a link because I figured most people caught it, but our only President used the word in a photo op speech the other day at a school in New York.

    the full sentence was something like "Childrens can learn when there is testing and accountability" which made me want one of the teachers present to jump up and say "Then what the hell happened to YOU?" They would have then been tasered and thrown in Gitmo, of course.

    One of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Of COURSE children can learn, and it's not because of testing. Children LOVE to learn. It takes years of abuse to make them STOP learning.

    In fact, even adults love to keep learning, at least a fair amount of them do; although you couldn't tell it by Our Dear leader.

  4. Have a a few beers and a great time at the show. It'll help you forget we're living a bad dream.

  5. a FEW beers?

    I only HOPE I jkeep it to a few. My participation in productive society tomorrow hangs by a thread.

    and amusingly enough, on the "Retreat From Memphis" disc, the mekons did a pair of songs called "Our Bad Dream..." followed by "...His Bad Dream"

    If Only.

  6. Ok, good to know. Guess I'm out of the daily political grind these days. Catch the occasional Daily Show, but that's about it. Not missing it much-- I already know I'm supporting Ron Paul as long as he remains in the race and hoping against hope someone other than Rudy wins the Republican nomination and that someone other than Hillary wins the Democratic nomination.

  7. Have fun, BP!

    Can't wait to hear all about it tomorrow. That is if you don't drink too much beer tonight so that you're not all blurry eyes and shakey handed in the morning!

    :)
