Grope the Pope!

Grope the Pope! (Don't get mad, get even.) Good riddance, Pope Bent-Dick. I hope it gave you a lot of pleasure presiding over a filthy criminal enterprise, that "Holy" Catholic CHURCH. May you burn for eternity in your imaginary Hell! Perhaps you've come to believe in your fanciful creation so passionately that it will come true for you after you expire, you Nazi bastard. Yeah, I know: a lot of ...well-meaning but hopelessly deluded, misguided Catholics are fine people working their fingernails off for a better world; this isn't directed against them, other than to suggest they should have QUIT, long ago the Vatican's filthy cesspool of repression, perversion, hypocrisy, cover-up and abuse. Really now, excommunication would seem like a BLESSING to me! I wouldn't be a registered Republican for largely similar reasons - I'm not about to lend my support to a clearly criminal enterprise, in the vain hope that it may some day reform it's evil nature. Hah! Not allowing your priests to marry is just your way of guaranteeing the continuation of a sordid cycle of sexual misconduct, Bent-Dick. Not allowing women to be priests is just a chauvinistic idiocy, which your stupid and archaic hierarchy needs to change. So a hearty Good riddance! to bad rubbish, and one can only hope the next pope is a somewhat less evil and monstrous individual.

I could care less!

Here's the stupid Americanism of the week. Hopefully it hasn't become a stupid Canadianism, though it almost certainly has crossed our northern border, since it's usually only a question of time before some dumb, widespread usage originating in the lower 48 infects that Dominion). I suppose it's also in use as a very annoying Anglicism, Australianism, and South Africanism too. Here it is: "I could care less!" Meaning, of course, it's exact opposite, "I couldn't care less." When did this dumb expression really take off? The either stupid or just heedless American speaker who utters this is actually saying something like: "I could care less about this matter than I do in fact care." Meaning, in other words, that the speaker DOES in fact care, at least to some extent. Of course, we're all familiar with other expressions that mean the opposite, or close to the opposite, of what the speaker intends: "I don't care no more." Which is actually to say: "I care about that, to some degree." It would be proper to say instead: "I care no more..." or "I don't care anymore..." But that's the basic double-negative syndrome. Of course, in certain other languages, like Spanish and Russian, employing a double negative construction is in fact acceptable usage. Not in English, and I think double negatives should be discouraged, for logic's sake. And it's not really a question of GRAMMAR, but rather, semantics. The sentence "I could care less" is in fact grammatically correct; the failure of this expression has to do with the fact that it conveys an unintended MEANING. Regardless, in terms of stupid usage, "I could care less!" is right up there with "Irregardless," which people say to mean "regardless," but isn't even a word, in the sense that it's not to be found in the official dictionaries. Please make a note of it, and for Gawd's sake, speak correctly, so as not to needlessly irritate your humble narrator:) Like · · Promote · Share

World, it's time to MOVE ON!

As far as the "Oscar Pisstorius" controversy, like I've said repeatedly, I don't care all that much. Professional sports, especially in America, has been elevated to the status of a quasi-religion, a patent absurdity when one considers that baseball, for example, is a child's game. Obviously, baseball is now played by expert, "gazzillionaire" men who chase little balls around the park like maniacs..., and treat the whole past-time as if it were the most important endeavor imaginable. Well, of course it it, for them. Major league sports is a multi-billion dollar enterprise, after all. And a way out of the ghetto or the Dominican Republic for a few fortunates who grew up desperately poor. But as much as I used to enjoy playing the game - and it rather sucks on TV - it is intrinsically trivial. As far as the Pisstorius case, I realized, as soon as the once-reputable BBC began leading its news broadcasts with this Entertainment Tonight-grade item, that this diversionary piece of psychological "jock itch" is being utilized in order to more or less marginalize real news, if not to squelch it altogether. With the Lance Armstrong case, it was "Time to move on, America!" Now it's: "Time to move on, World!"

Trilogy

I just commented at length on the subjects of SEX and DRUGS. This link completes the Trilogy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBLeVcP_JQg

DRUGS

(From my Facebook page) I have some pretty well-considered opinions about drug-taking that I'm going to share tonight. And let's be honest - Pot isn't just an herb, it's also a drug, though it's about the most benign I've ever experienced. I think much of the trepidation about self-medicating within hyper-brainwashed American society comes less from a well-reasoned consideration of the facts, and more from the standpoint of that almost reflexive Anglo-American suspicion of, even aversion to, anything pleasurable in life. I have had to confront this troubling attitude emanating from hundreds, if not thousands of people, during my lifetime. And especially, evaluate the impact of it withing my own psyche. So rather than give my "using friends" dire warnings about the risks of addiction, I much prefer saying: "Have a happy, even joyous trip!" I seriously wonder how many of the millions of Americans biting their frikking toenails tonight about the supposed grave perils of "drug use" are equally worried about the plutonium being emitted on a massive scale EVERY DAY from the Fukushima Dai'ichi reactor? And which substance, after all, poses the gravest threat to Humanity, heroin or Strontium-90? I believe the latter, by far. We need to put the issue of "substance abuse" in a more proper perspective, each and every one of us, I'm convinced. Moi? I LIKE drugs. Wish I had some better, and above all, LEGAL ones to do RIGHT NOW! I've restricted myself to coffee and tea for a long, long time. It's all about FREEDOM! Or, as the anti-prohibitionist 1928 presidential candidate Al Smith said all those decades ago: "The only cure for the ills of Democracy is... MORE Democracy." P.S: It you read "Marijuana; the Medical Papers," for example, you'll get a much more articulate exposure to the kinds of of sensible ideas I, within the scope of my inferior ability, have tried to promulgate just now. http://books.google.com/books/about/Marijuana.html?id=pgNgJgAACAAJ

SEX

(From my Facebook page) Since tonight is one of those nights when I simply don't feel like allowing my own internalized repression - which is actually VERY severe - or the repression of others to further warp my personality, I have some pretty well-considered opinions about Sexuality that I'm going to share tonight. And let's be honest, "Sexual Politics" is an emotional and ideolgical mine-field that is, if anything, even more charged and potentially dangerous tham the "drug issue." But once again, I think much of the trepidation about the very idea of sexual freedom between consenting adults stems less from a well-reasoned consideration of the facts, and more from the standpoint of that almost reflexive Anglo-American suspicion of, even aversion to, anything pleasurable in life. The regrettable Puritanical origins of US Society have caused incalculable damage to tens of millions of once-innocent people. For that matter, Crusading Hypo-Christians, Jingoistic Jews, Maniac Muslims and Hysterical Hindus bend over backwards to adhere to outdated and harmful ideas about not only actual sex acts, but about the Human Body, in all its beauty, or even not-so-beautiful manifestations. But I happen to very much LIKE the images (from the admittedly idiotic but partially erotic 2000 film "The Dukes of Hazzard") that I'm going to post right now, and firmly believe there is absolutely NOTHING indecent about them. In the comment box below, however, I'm going to post some OTHER images and text that I firmly belive IS indecent, or even obscene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzg_XJwE678 The following IS obscene, and caution is advised for the faint-of-heart: http://www.bestgore.com/tag/war-crime/ The following is CERTAINLY indecent, and might justifiably be considered downright OBSCENE: New International Version (NIV) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+4%3A9-17&version=NIV Ezekiel 4:9-17 9 “Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side. 10 Weigh out twenty shekels[a] of food to eat each day and eat it at set times. 11 Also measure out a sixth of a hin[b] of water and drink it at set times. 12 Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel.” 13 The Lord said, “In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.”

Bite Me!

I've been considering this, weighing it in my mind for a while, and I've concluded that the ultimately idiotic "Americanism" is... "Bite me!," when uttered with the intention of expressing "Go to Hell!," or even "Go F____ yourself!" The reason why? At best it sounds dumb as soon as it's coming out of the mouth. Yes, "Bite me!" just has a stupid, self-defeating, perhaps even masochistic ring to it, in much the same way as "F____ ME!," - a saying apparently popularized widely by the 1994 Tarantino flick "Pulp Fiction" - sounds moronic. I mean, do you REALLY want someone to BITE you? Trust me, the outcome can't be good, for you in particular, if someone takes you at your word. Once, when I was about eight or nine years old, I was taking a serious wallop or six from a kid about five years older than I. In one of those few instances where I seriously physically retaliated against someone larger and meaner, I did just that, I bit him. Sunk my teeth right into his shoulder, hard as possible. Totally screwed him up, left him in real tears. I think it was the shock as much as the physical pain, which was also fairly severe. But Oh Man, was it ever effective! Changed his approach to me after that, oh yes he did. I think he realized he'd payed too hard and fast, risking a possible case of rabies in the bargain. Well, my four incisors are still quite sharp. But I digress: the moral of this story is: Be careful what you wish for - it may come true!

Re: The Chemical Muse

I found this book highly instructive as an examination of our "Puritanical" society's attitude toward drug use generally, an attitude that is fraught with contradiction, illogic, double standards, extremely harmful punitive stupidity and much worse besides: http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Chemical_Muse.html?id=csrRiHGzylIC I have more opinions about drug-taking that I'm going to share tonight.

ObamApologists

Thank Gourd it's Friday, and please don't be an ObamApologist. Obama had already shown himself to be quite willing to attack the mostly-shredded safety net, long before sequestration became the imminent reality it is now: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/09/obama-poor-energy-cuts-kerry-letter_n_821061.html

I'm really going to miss the Nazi Pope BeneDICKt

Now I don't know about you all, but I'm really going to MISS Pope Ratslinger, who as you know, announced his resignation today. He's just so cute in his little white dress and dunce cap! OK, so he has defended and agreed with various Catholic clerics who denied, even enabled the holocaust. Let's let bygones be bygones now, for HEAVEN'S sake, shan't we? So the preeminent Pedophile Priest from Pervert-land, Pope BeneDICKt, went above and beyond the call of duty to protect those thousands of "Fatherly" child molesters in black robes... get over it! We must all be good Christians about this. Forgive, forgive, and above all forget, even if the Nazi Pope is, well, a Nazi Pope! At least he wasn't an actual member of the Hitler Youth... or WAS he? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFIkeXQI8nI

Popcorn

Did you know that if you take an innocent word like "Popcorn" and switch it around a bit, you get "Cop Porn?" Happy Sunday, and I'm sure Jesus H. Christ would be greatly pleased. Here's another one: The big box store "Shopco" becomes "Cop Show!"

Vive La France no more.

Hmmmm... The very fact that the French militarists and imperialists have launched air strikes against "Islamists" suggests this is a crusade of sorts, in the worst possible sense that word implies. So much for Vive La France; I applauded the French resistance to the Iraq War ten years ago... I don't applaud France's present aggression. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/03/french-forces-airstrikes-mali
