Bite-Sized Hate
Irradiated by LabRat
Still got nothing. Still too hot. Still probably more to do with mental lockup.
- Obama administration vs. General McChrystal: indifferent, uninterested, and thin-skinned administration meets self-centered, insubordinate, and egomanical CO meets really, really stupid military handling of the press. A pox on all their houses.
- Arizona vs. Obama administration: as to the law itself, I view it as a restatement of supposed federal law. As a former resident of Arizona, I think Joe Arpaio and his bloc of supporters are psychotic and it will be one more tool they will abuse to carry out their campaign against targets of political opportunity. As to the Obama administration’s response, I wonder if they have gotten around to reading it yet and think this course of action in a time when the electorate overwhelmingly agrees with the law is great news in the midterms. As to the actual problem of illegal immigration and the official approaches taken I want to drink whiskey until my liver rots.
- Gulf disaster: may not be readily solvable by engineering. May end up the greatest environmental disaster of my generation, as if the Gulf didn’t have enough problems. Meanwhle, the ongoing economic crisis is deepened and felt most critically in local economies dependent on overfishing the Gulf. Energy crisis deepened by additional number of things we cannot do to obtain energy and must outsource to the environmental destruction of other nations that care less. But we should not worry, because those in leadership are going to use this political opportunity to shift the nation to energy sources that do not yet exist and punish targets of political opportunity that have already committed financial seppuku. Where’s the whiskey?
- Israel: only stable democracy in the region that’s squatting on all the oil, and the only technologically productive one. Only armed and assertive power between us and Iran, which has stepped into the power vacuum left by Iraq and is just fucking thrilled about resumed Persian control of the Middle East. So, obviously, fuck them and their fascistic and feeble attempts to enforce blockades against people bringing in more rocket parts to aim into playgrounds.
- World Cup: world’s most boring sport being totally ruined by world’s most irritating local tradition. World’s tallest midget protests.
- Apple does stuff: iFuckit

LabRat, if I hadn’t recently sworn of liquor, I’d be right with you on pickling my liver after reading your post.

OFF, dammit. Sworn OFF liquor. *sigh* Stupid typos.

What? You don’t like vuvuzelas? Guess what, neither do we.

Yep, it’s NOT pretty out there…

Look, the vuvuzela’s great! If I’m flipping through channels, and I come to one that sounds like there’s a beehive being recorded, I know that it’s soccer and can flip right on to the next one without trying to figure out what’s going on from the picture.
It’s efficient!

What was wrong with the former communication-method-turned-soccer-tradition of lighting signal fires in the bleachers?

What she said.
I am going to study those exercise PDFs you sent, lift weights, THEN pickle liver to tune of old Warren Zevon CDs.

The good news is that most of the soccer fever will go away after the World Cup. A lot of the people currently going into rages over the sport’s bad calls, or babbling on and on about how freakin’ awesome the whole thing is, will go right back to ignoring it soon enough.
Other than that, yeah, I’m close to taking up drinking because the world has gone completely and utterly mad.

Well, there is at least a consistency:
Give your military commanders no clear mission and then criticize their non-accomplishment of it.
Allow/create an immigration CRISIS and then sue your own affected parties when they address it.
Hold meetings to find out “whose ass to kick” with regard to the oil rig blowout rather than telling the OIL INDUSTRY ITSELF “This is your business and profit and future here, coupled with the financial and environmental interests of our states and nation. Get together and get in there and find out what you need to fix it and let me know what support gov can offer.”
Take the one capable entity in an unstable powder keg region that unapologetically protects its own interests and ours, and criticize and demean it rather than watching, learning, and supporting it, and taking it as the microcosm of ourselves, our problems, and the methods we should be employing, that it is.

FIFA doesn’t allow matches in the stadi[ums|a].
Shit, I took the wrong turn * coming from our Arms & Ammo collectors society and almost ended up close enough to Green Point to be in violation of their gunfree zone. Assholes.
* Actually, I was in the wrong lane. Half the streets** are closed. Assholes.
** And the other half were blocked by Dutch tourists. Assholes.
