one of the reasons I still like to read a blog that has either jumped the shark or become unbearably successful, overrun by trolls or actors:
This is yet another occasion which puzzles me as to whether or not this truly happened or was some nonsensical moment from a dream or a Mexican Univision comedy show or whatever, but it just seems that it could not be reality.
An extremely mean and cranky Republican riding on a fictional reputation of political honor and moderation chooses in his Presidential campaign an idiot governor about whom he knows next to nothing, and she proves to be among the most catty, uninformed, corrupt nincompoops who ever came close to high office, and yet gains countless fans who believe she put all the libruls in their place.
The idiot lady mocks all the ‘socialism’ of the Democrats from a state which earns the most federal subsidies of any in the Union, handing out checks to its citizens who then rage against the oppressive federales.
The idiot lady bears a child with a mental disability and instantly any comment vaguely directed in her personal direction becomes a vile attempt to mock retarded kids.
Her daughter bears a child out of wedlock and then both she and her mother become holy icons of family values. This goes on to yield an entire circus of family revelations and mini-scandals, including the unmarried father of the now sainted daughter’s child appearing naked in a national magazine.
The idiot corrupt governor lady then quits her governorship and claims that she’s doing so because she can do more good for the people of Alaska out of office than within, something which amazingly enough is true in the sense that Alaska will be better off without her in the governor’s office.
The sainted daughter who bore a child out of wedlock then appears on a TV show promoting abstinence, and then is invited to a TV show in which celebrities dance. She is reportedly terrible, and most recently actually dressed up with her partner in gorilla costumes, and the sainted daughter (who bore a child out of wedlock) of the idiot governor who quit halfway in after ruining the Old Man’s run for office actually danced on national TV in a gorilla costume.
This is fucking hallucinogenic.
I fucking hate people who are more clever than me. And so, I hate all of you. Especially YOU , El Cid.
If you only knew the power of the Dark Side.

Yo, Billy (yes, I'm stuck in the past-- somewhat ironic, no?)! How's things? I see your mood has not improved. Unsurprising, under the national circumstances. Maybe this'll cheer you up-- I now mostly agree with you viewpoint of Republicans as well as your opinions on music. Or perhaps it won't make a pant load of difference to you.
ReplyDeleteEither way, so it goes.
If you have not already, I recommend reading Christopher Hitchens fascinating memoir, Hitch 22. Superbly written, it is a very fun ride through his life trajectory of leftist/marxist agitator to journalist/hack to reconsidering some of his leftist viewpoints, to settling down as an "old fart" in his semi-retirement years and trying to balance the whole of it. It is an extremely perceptive, though obviously biased, view of the last 40-50 years, with a lot of very funny and fascinating stories thrown in to boot. For extra special delectitude, listening to the audiobook, read by Hitchens himself. Quintessentially British.
Oh-- and maybe this will also cheer you up (and is actually the reason I popped in this afternoon): I really, really like Calling All Stations, and I probably wouldn't have ever listened to it if not for your ongoing Quixotic defense of it. Thanks Mr. Pilgrim!

Listen: Billy Pilgrim wasn't always a zombie.
ReplyDeleteI really, really like Calling All Stations,
Well, now I hate it.
Huh.
ReplyDeleteOkay, guess I won't bother coming around any more. Good luck with that nearly terminal case of "Piss Off" cynicism. Seems like a lousy way to go through life.
Cheers,
Nick
IT WAS A JOKE, NICK.
