Commercials are SO FUCKING STUPID.

I’m supposed to be cleaning now, but a commercial on the radio just set me off, and I gotta get this out of my brain before it dies of lonliness.

Commercial starts: “I was a good mother.  Then I tried meth and…”

Whoa.  Stop right there.

If the thought of using a highly-addictive recreational pharamceutical occurs to you, you are by definition not a “good mother”.  If you are so dim that you expected an illegal drug to not have serious ramifications on your ability to care for your child, you are by definition not a “good mother”.

So, let us dispense with the bull.  Forty-plus years of narcotic and drug regulation have done nothing to stop the terminally self-destructive from breaking.  Airing ads on the radio to pull at the heartstrings of addicts simply isn’t going to work.  And it’s not likely to stop anyone from taking meth, crack, heroin, or anything else.  Someone that will abuse meth would simply find something else to abuse themselves with anyhow.  At least with meth, they get it over with quick and die.

If these people don’t want to take control over their lives and their brains, and instead want to let some body-rotting chemical take their mind away, why are we bothering to stop them?  For my entire life (and far beyond it) unregulated intoxicants have been illegal.  We have jails overflowing with drug makers, drug traffickers, drug pushers, and drug users.  What makes anyone think that pissing me off with another ad that makes me stupider just for having heard it is going to help?

Assassination Porn

What is with all these lefties and their fantasies about Barack Obama being assassinated?  They seem convinced that “the rubes” just can’t stand the idea of a black president, and so will have to assassinate him.  Or that “the rubes” just won’t stand for a president that’s going to make them behave like better progressives.

Is it that they really think that this country is so fucked up that our only response to the election of an unpopular president is to kill him?  If that’s the case, why’s George Bush still on this side of the dirt?  With all the invective and hatred directed towards the man, one could reasonably assume that someone would have put him in the ground by now, but they haven’t.  Why would someone bother to take out a potential president Obama?

Which leads to one conclusion - the left is so enamored of nihilism that they cannot view anything except through the prism of self-destruction.

Punk Spam

Yeah, that’ll work.  Insult me, why don’t you.

Spam subject: “what a stupid face you have here brian

And all that’s in it is a link entitled “Watch” that goes God knows where.

Well, at least it’s a blatant attempt to pwn my machine, and it isn’t masquerading as something that will make my dick 57 feet long.

On the trials and tribulations of being a young slut.

Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be stupid.

The story, of course, is from Gloucseter, MA.  17 girls (many of them sophomores - which makes them under 16) pregnant.  ON FUCKING PURPOSE.  What do the assholes in charge of the school system have to say?  “We need to prescribe birth control over the objections of parents“.

So, I don’t know what’s worse.  The idiocy of a dozen and a half teenage girls getting pregnant on purpose (high-fives all around when they got the news from the school nurse), that they were doing so with men old enough to know better (many over 20, and one a 24 year old homeless man), or that the school officials are so stupid.

Sure, let’s make birth control mandatory.  What are you going to do, shove the pills down the little bitches’ throats every morning?  What part of “I want to get pregnant” leads you to believe that the whore is going to take the little red pill?  No amount of birth control or “safe sex” education would have derailed their plans.

We always hear from liberals about addressing “root causes” - typically with massive amounts of government money.  What we never see, however, is results.  Well, here’s your results.  30 years of sex education, and dammit if those kids don’t know exactly how to fuck.  They still don’t have any clue of the true costs of the consequences of it, but they know all the good positions to try.

How does something like this happen?  Simple.  First, the parents.   The parents don’t say to their little spawn “don’t make me a grandmother, I’m not old enough”.  Many parents don’t seem to set ANY expectations for the behavior or performance of their children.  And then they have the audacity to act surprised when Bad Things happen.

The media certainly share in this a little.  When Jamie-Lynn Spears gets knocked up, the media fawn all over her instead of condemning her for setting such a bad example for all the 12 year old girls who watch her on television every afternoon.  And then the parents (yes, them again), either miss the teaching moment, or find that they can’t compete with the apparent glamor of Spears-the-younger. That they can’t be bothered to put in the effort is alarming.

The entire liberal establishment gets the lion’s share of the fault, however.  The original “I don’t wanna grow up” kids from the 60s are now running everything.  And they’re doing a lousy job.  Since we have to do everything “to protect the children”, we now have a bunch of teenagers who have no critical thinking skills, no ability to consider consequences, no ability to be responsible.  And then these same liberals, who’ve extended adolescence all the way through college graduation, turn around and tell these monsters that they’ve created “go ahead, do anything that feels good.  We’ll bail you out when you fuck your life up.”

We won’t get in to the apparent glamor associated with fatherless parenting methodologies, but you know that’s certainly going to leave an impression as well.

Time to invest in a nice high-quality chaise lounge, put in a store of adult beverages, and get ready to watch the show.  We had a good run of it.  Maybe the next attempt at civilization will actually work.

It’s turtles all the way down!

Our universe, child of another universe?

That’s just crazy talk.

Grubs suck.

Normally, I’m pretty good at delaying my projects because I’m lazy and easily distracted.

So of course, when I get motivated to do something, the Universe has to intervene.

I thought I’d slaughtered the grubs what killed my lawn.  Not so.  I start digging up the front yard, and just below the surface, those disgusting white wigglers are waiting for me.  They seem to be mocking me with their curling and wiggling.

So, instead of putting in a flower garden, I’m watering more grubslaughter into the front yard.

Meh.

An apology.

Ok, so I was talking shit about the FBI, and I got called on it.  I haven’t exactly made a habit of following FBI investigative techniques.  Last I knew (circa 1995) was that they were still a bunch of techno-neophytes,  buffoons, and imbeciles.  I was politely instructed to brush up on my case law.  It has always been my opinion that one is safest assuming that any federal agency will only change for the worse over time, so I assumed that they would have continued their ways of disinterest and/or inability in the investigations of computer crime.

Well, it appears that I was quite wrong.  Not only are they interested, they move pretty quickly now.  Things have come along way since the Mitnick era.  It appears that one of the RIAA’s shills was using a company by the name of Revision 3’s BitTorrent tracker for their own purposes.  And when R3 noticed it and blocked them out, MediaDefender’s (the aforementioned shill) servers had a hissy fit and took R3 down with a DoS.

The FBI is already investigating potential violations of a great many criminal statutes.

I’ll have my crow well-done, if you please.

All the right people hate John McCain

There’s no love lost between me and McCain.  I don’t like the man.  I don’t trust him.  But I don’t hate him.

But there’s something to be said about a man that generates so much rabid hatred.  The idiots on the moral-minority right hate him because he won’t genuflect before them and kiss the ring.  The leftists hate him because they are still running against Bush, and McCain is (in their view) just like him.

You already know how I feel about the moral-minority types.  Keep your laws off my pecker.  And keep your paws off my XBox.

But watching the seething moonbats react is just delicious.  Just a few short years ago, the leftoids LOVED McCain because of his penchant for poking conservatives in the eye.  In fact, that’s precisely the tendency that bothers me the most about him - he’s entirely too willing to go along with the left for the purpose of transcending partisanship.  But now, these same moonbats are threatening to leave the country if Obama isn’t coronated.

I hope this isn’t an empty promise like we’ve heard so many times before.

Crimson, explorer.

Dog has figured out how to undo her cable.  Which means I need a new one.

At any rate, I’m keeping an eye on her to make sure she doesn’t graze.  Satisfied that she’s not chowing on the flora, I go wash some bottles.  I go back to check on her, and she’s at the back fence.  Luckily, I caught her before she went exploring the neighborhood again.

This dog is trying to drive me insane.
