George Fucking Carlin!
It's a sad day when such a funny man dies, but George Carlin was more than a funny man. He spoke truth to power and to people about the stupidity, the dumbing down and the bullshit that flies through our political correct, sterilized language and into Our two faced, "polite" society.
He was Absolutely One of the Greats!
Carlin at Carnegie Hall (complete with the 200 Dirty word list) is a must see and the only HBO show that has had any Real and lasting impact on my person.
"Rat shit, bat shit, dirty old twat! 69 assholes tied in a knot! Hooray! Lizard shit! Fuck!"
Mr. Carlin, You will be missed.

georgie and john
Representative Dennis Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment of george w. bush (co-sponsored by Representative Robert Wexler) has been sent to committee for the Democratic "leadership" to slow kill, though Kucinich vows to not let it die (you can help). Just to set the record straight, I do not support impeachment out of some sort of partisan, competitive, "You impeached 'us' we'll impeach you" bullshit. If President Barack Obama (yeah, I typed it) illegally spies on and/or detains American citizens indefinitely and without charge... if he invades a sovereign nation, breaking international law, based on cherry picked, false, and fabricated intelligence ignoring and shooing aside "doubters"... if he uses publicly funded Propaganda to mislead the Nation... if he derelicts his duty and lets Americans citizens drown from inaction against a foretold disaster, leaving the survivors to remain displaced, their homes and neighborhoods in ruin for YEARS... if he condones torture, of any type or name, in United States detention facilities or ships US prisoners to other nations to be tortured, I will call for his Impeachment and removal from office. Whether it is in his first year, his last year or his last week as president. It is Congress's Responsibility to keep a check on the president. Illegality, impropriety, and incompetence should and needs to be met with accountability. We do not have a king. No one is above the law. If anything it's because of partisanship that he has NOT been impeached. I know we're a Nation that gets more outraged by reports of referees fixing games than United States Senate reports of a president and his underlings fixing intelligence to rush Our Country into war. A war that has cost the lives of thousands of American soldiers and tens of thousands (a conservative estimate) of innocent Iraqi. Dick-tator saddam was hanged for killing under 200. Our Laws, their enforcement, and Our adherence to them, even when it comes to Our prisoners, are what keeps us from chaos and fascism.
But let's talk about the man who wants to continue georgie 24%'s policies, both foreign and domestic. That's right, ol' flip floppin' john has had another less than stellar week. Let's see... He taught us vladmir putin (the president of Russia) was the president of Germany. He told his supporters, who can now donate and receive non-elitist golf supplies, that he would "veto every beer". When asked if he would like to have vice president dick (currently at 18% approval) in his administration McSame responded "hell yeah". We found out that this 21st century candidate is computer "illiterate". And the biggest gaffe for "senior moment" johnny was when he said it's "not too important" when Our troops leave Iraq. That last one really pissed some people off. His supporters say johnny third term has never been for "timetables", despite him coming out and saying that if he becomes president (evolution forbid), Our troops would be home by 2013. His supporters say he can say what he wants, he was in the military. But finally some military personnel are beginning to speak out and say that being a Navy aviator, POW, and Senate liaison does not give you "carte blanche" on all things military. It's gotten so bad for the 72 year old candidate that he's having trouble with endorsements from elected officials in his own grand Old party. Oh, and since I mentioned the military, Obama's "short list" of Vice Presidential candidates sure is getting interesting.
With Our current president being protested in Rome and the Iraqi government rejecting the idea of 60 US bases on their soil, saying it would "lead to colonization", it's no wonder that the international community likes the idea of a change from the current "your either with us or your against us" American leadership that has dragged Our Country's reputation into the muck. Not that Our reputation problem is only international. With crap like faux news's "terrorist fist jab" and the ever classy reference to Michelle Obama as "Obama's baby mama" (yeah, they're a respectable news organization) it's no surprise most people are and will remain uber-cynical, pessimistic and/or apathetic, at least until something Changes?

The Presumptive Democratic Presidential Nominee
Once he earned 2,118 pledged delegates, Senator Barack Obama won the Democratic National Primaries. Below is his victory speech from last night. It was given at the site of this year's republican national convention in the "red" state of Minnesota. That's probably why only 20,000 enthusiastic supporters showed up.
