Polar Bear Plunge - Benefiting the Special Olympics

Kevin's Freezin' His Rear Off for the Special Olympics

Hello My Dear Readers (all 2 of you),
On January 27th of this year, I will be setting my sanity aside to jump into the freezing waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Not because I'm an idiot, but because the money I help raise will benefit the Special Olympics. Please take a moment to click on the link and drop a few dollars into the bucket. Hey, you couldn't put any money in the Salvation Army buckets this year because they're pretty much banned from every storefront in the state...so send some love my way. Plus, think of the joy you'll receive my knowing that the money you give me will contribute to the act of sending my family jewels in too my stomach for a few brief moments on an early Saturday morning, while you sleep soundly in your warm, comfortable bed.

Thanks for you time,
Kev

Support our troops...

Soldier's body flown with bags, no honor guard.

Is this what the Republicans and 101st Fighting Keyboarders mean by supporting our troops?

I've touched on the faux "support our troops" rhetoric from this bunch before. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of these kids, these heroes, being shit on constantly by our current administration. Let's REALLY support our troops. Bring them home now.

The war against fiction...

Via Crooks & Liars, the conservative right apparently has waged war on fictional animated movies for telling a story...or as they put it "Promoting a far left message". MediaMatters has some video of some of their tirads and battle cries. Sound absurd...well it is.

First off...Glenn Beck, you're an asshole. I don't promote name calling, but Glenn deserves this special attention. If you haven't watched the video yet, check it out now. I'll wait...

Done?

Good. Glenn, let me start off with some of the basics. First, IT'S A FUCKING CARTOON! To call Happy Feet anything less is utterly ridiculous. What exactly is the "far left" message here? He drops labels like "propoganda" and comparisons to An Inconvennient Truth. Glenn, maybe they didn't teach this in your journalism classes (or maybe they did, and you were to otherwise predisposed with admiring the size of your own ego), but fictional cartoons AREN'T propoganda. By that logic, EVERY movie is propoganda...animated or not. Glenn, it's a story...that's all. The "left wing" isn't out to brainwash your kids. We're to busy transforming the human race into homosexuals and making "GO TERRORISTS!" bumper stickers in our sparte time.

Next, Neil Cavuto and Holly McClure (you may remember her from such movies as...) engage in the most idiotic converstoin I have ever observed. Holly is quite distressed about the movie going overboard when they show a penguin with "plastic rings around the guys neck". First off Holly, I'll tell you what I told Glenn. It's a fucking movie telling a fictional story...THAT'S IT. Secondly, this crap about plastic rings around birds' necks happens to be true. It's real and it happens, a lot.
















Sometimes even intentionally.

So what is this "left wing propoganda" Holly? Glenn? Neil?

Is it to clean up after ourselves? How about thinking about what the results of our actions will be before we perform them? The left wing clearly has no concept of that one. Maybe it's that we only have one earth so we better take care of it? How about respect for other inhabitants of said planet, not to mention respect for each other? We DO share it with other creatures you know. So maybe teaching our kids to share is the "propoganda" the left wing is trying to teach children. Global warming isn't exactly propoganda either. It's happening as we speak. While you can debate the human role in the earths climate change, you cannot debate the the earth's temperature is increasing. As a result, the polar caps are melting:





















So maybe the "left wing propoganda" is simply...education?

November 8th, 2006

CNN: Dems take House; Senate hangs on 2 neck-to-neck races.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Fed up...

TBogg makes a great point about the Republican response to John Kerry's slip up, verus reality. Check it out here.

Here is my response to both the Air Forces' request for more funds, and confirmation of TBogg's point:

"Look, I vote Democrat (except in cases of Lie-berman and Zell Shriller) and I want these kids home from war now.

But, THEY are the ones who keep voting for these idiots who leave them over there like sitting ducks, with no plans to finish the war, no money, no armor, no way to transport the fallen soldiers home, extended tours, and sending soldiers with PTS Disorder back to the front lines. THEY (and by "they", I mean a large percentage...not all) vote for the same dumb fucks who are pro-war...as long as they don't have to go (See Colbert's "Better Know A District" from 11/1/06 episode). The same hypocrites who cut troop salaries and benefits after preaching "Support Our Troops", then give the difference to Halliburton and whoever else gives the Repubs a bent over lubed ass to fuck whenever they want.

And some how, John Kerry is the enemy because he slipped up on a joke about George Bush.

So if they want to stay there...let them. Let them vote Republican. I'm getting to the point where I could care less. I'm sick and fucking tired of being called a terrorist because I fear for our troops safety and well being. THAT'S PATRIOTISM...sticking up for your fellow Americans and questioning totalitarianism rule. I'll vote Democrat and continue to speak out against the atrocity we call "Bringing Democracy to Iraq", but if these people ultimately want to stay in Iraq as human target practice for the insurgents, with no help from their government...it's their choice. Have fun.
