To all of the ignorant, backward-ass, gullible, dumb as-a-bag-of-hammers, 'Obama's a communist', red-neck, toothless cousin-fuckers that voted for the republican party this past election, may I offer my first piece of evidence proving that you just got royally fucked?
They aren't even in office yet as the majority, but the party of rich white men is already signalling that the poor might as well take a flying fuck at the moon if they think they are going to get anything remotely close to help or compassion whilst the gop have the reins. They even had the nerve to suggest that they couldn't in good conscience (like any of them actually possess one) vote to extend the benefits without cutting from somewhere else in the budget, conveniently forgetting that they are the same bunch of arrogant assholes that are demanding that the bush tax-gifts to the rich be extended whatever the cost ($700 billion).
I'd laugh if it wasn't so goddamned sad.

Obama gives Medal of Freedom to Bush Sr...or why any 'hope' of 'change' has now been terminated..
In what for many will be the final insult to those that supported him, Barack 'Bipartisan' Obama has decided that George H.W. Bush, the architect of the 'October Surprise', the lynch pin in Iran-Contra and the architect behind the first gulf war, should be awarded the highest civilian honour in the land, the Medal of Freedom.
Look, I know that this comes at a bad time attention-span-wise for the average Yank, after all there is all sorts of outrage over the fact that ThunderThighs Palin is through to the final on Dancing with the (Z-list) Stars because the slavish, Teahadists followers of her mother have figured out how to game ABC's voting system. Plus everyone is all a-twitter over a couple of rich twenty-something Brits finally planning to say 'I do' next year in a bloody great big church, but when Barack Obama, a man widely thought to not only possess a brain, but also know how to use it, says that it's a good idea to honour someone like this, I have to say that for me, it is time to get off the 'Hope and Change' Express.
I knew from the start that Obama was only going to be a 'liberal' when viewed from the angle of where we had just come from. He always was a centrist, a mediator not an idealist, but I had hoped that, if for no other reason than his upbringing, we would have had at least the semblance of an effort to right the wrongs of the previous administration. The first indication that things weren't going to go that way was his choice of Rick Warren, a known gay-basher, to lead the inaugural invocation. Whilst the gathered crowd cheered, along with tens of millions of others at homes across the nation, as Bush the Lessor was escorted out of national governance and back to the pig farm from whence he came, the wheels of capitulation had already started to turn.
Hopes for a quick end to the disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were quickly dashed when troop numbers actually increased in the 'Stan. When knowledge of yet more torture and abuse by the previous administration came to light, the President and his Attorney General refused to even consider investigations, never mind prosecutions of the offenders. As the news that the FBI had knowingly violated the privacy of thousands and thousands of American citizens during the bush years via illegal wire-taps came to the fore, the constitutional law-scholar from Harvard didn't raise a finger to bring those responsible to account, or even bother to gather assurances that the practice had ceased. Even now, when you have to subject yourself to being publicly groped by a stranger in order to get on an airplane, a blatant violation of civil rights, the President won't so much as raise an eyebrow.
I knew he wasn't a liberal, but come on, enough is enough. Maybe Bill Hicks was right, but all I know is this: this ain't the "Change" I asked for.

Teabaggers are hypocritical assholes*
Look, we all know what happened in the most recent mid-term elections, republicans took back the seats they had lost two years ago to the phenomenon of 'change' sweeping the country at the time. The M$M of course did their bit to paint it as a massive disaster for the Democrats. The presstitutes were barely able to suppress their ear-to-ear grins as they described the elections as a wholehearted repudiation of the Obama doctrine (which is weird, because if he actually does have a doctrine it appears to consist entirely of asking to be kicked in the balls repeatedly by the republicans whilst simultaneously apologizing to the American people for being too partisan). But what went totally unmentioned was the fact that the republican politicians that were elected this cycle are some of the least-qualified and heavily IQ-deficient bunch seen in D.C. since Newt Gingrich's 'contract on America' crowd showed up in the 1990's. This should be seen as very bad omen.
The fact that they are a bunch of hypocrites is a given (they are after all republican politicians, so naturally there's not a lobbyist's check they won't be eager to cash), but the fact that we find out so quickly is somewhat amazing. A case in point is Dr Andy Harris (R-Teabag) who was elected this past november in no small part due to his vehement and passionate opposition of the "government take-over of health-care" and a solemn promise to "repeal Obamacare". The fact that a doctor opposes a plan that gives people access to hospitals, doctors and medicine for the first time seems a little strange to me, but in Tea-bag world it obviously makes perfect sense. Anyway, as it turns out Dr Harris is a big fan of government run health plans after all. Specifically his. So much so in fact, he got a little pissy when he found out he'd actually have to wait before his benefits kicked in. Imagine that, after all of his anti-government rhetoric, after all of his railing against the 'socialist healthcare plan' this guy can't even wait 'til he's been sworn in before he wants his piece of the pie.
This is yet another reason why Teabaggers are fucking morons. They have been played like violins and they are too fucking stupid to know it. Sadly the joke is on the rest of us as we have to put up with at least two years of these assholes in office before we get a chance to throw them back out on the street where they belong.
*this phrase is redundant I know, but it is a service message for the thinking-impaired.

This is why we're doomed as a species...
...we just can't stop killing things...and now I read this story... it makes me want to rip my hair out...
After everything that dog went through, some low-level fucktard county worker "accidentally" kills the family pet when it gets out and acts like a regular dog...
Unreal...just unreal...

...and now over to the sportsdesk...
Cross-posted from a motor racing forum I frequent regarding todays F-1 race...
"Dear Mr. Buttmacher,
As I am sure you are totally unaware, I have never liked you, your driving style or your chin, however in light of today's accident I would like to suggest that you change your current vocation. You have won more WDC's than anyone else, some of them without being a dirty, chopping cheating bastard all the time, you have taken more money from Phillip Morris than a million ciggy-starved test beagles could spend on a nicotine bender, and you have two beautiful children courtesy of HHF's ex-girlfriend. In other words you have nothing left to prove.
Look, I would have liked to have seen you had your nads used as a speed-bag for the crap you pulled on Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve and Mika Hakkinen, during your career, but I would hate to see you make HHF's-ex a widow, and your kids fatherless simply because you were bored with retirement.
So, do them a favour and hang them up whilst you still can. You always were, and always will be, a pointy-chinned dirty chopping, cheating bastard, but I beg of you, don't make me say nice things about you publicly as would be the case if you were to die when you had your head removed by a stray Force India.
Sincerely,
Not A Fan of Yours
P.S. If you mention this to anyone I will claim that I was drunk or had my account hacked, but I'm serious. Retire. Spend your money. Hug your kids. Shag HHF's ex. I would if I were you.."
