Speaking of forgettable things I'd rather not face, AGAIN, Salon.com is back to the journalistically unimportant job of reminding me "Donald Trump's a total pig" - like that's something likely to slip my mind after 40 years of watching him.
Bill Clinton being a pedophile AND a long-confirmed rapist of Juanita Broderick bothers them not - even in an election year - nor does Hillary, covering for that, all these decades (the party sincerely believes she should be rewarded, with the keys to the White House, for that service).
Democrat donor, Ed Buck, being a drug-addicted murderer of black men, is also of little-to-no concern. A real vote-getter for the Black Lives Matter crowd.
Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Anthony Weiner, alone - what do their combined contributions to criminality compare to a man caught (in an act of betrayal by NBC) admitting women let rich guys "grab 'em by the pussy"?
And, are the Democrats even TRYING to be a better party, than Trump is a pig? Not on their life.
They just want to stand before me - covered in shit - swearing HE'S smelling up the joint.
How you feeling, Mike? Heard about the Earthquake? No? Oh.
Hey! Had a good shaker-upper last night, finding myself outside at 3 in the morning in my bare feet, holding a laptop and the hard drive with my album on it. I move in an Earthquake - fuck sitting indoors waiting to die - The Devil's gotta catch me running. Some say Michael Brown felt the same way. Like that's a bad thing. Niggas wanna live.
Somebody white made this. Somebody "educated," but still never imagining it could pertain to blacks?
But that's not easy when you're outnumbered six to one, and the culture of the six has a loooooong history of killing the one (I was going to use 400 'o's, like they use zeroes to show the stupidity of homeopathy, but decided to spare you. You're welcome,...). AND - what makes it even worse - they know this about themselves (it's a documented fact) but they still perform individually as though under some collective mass psychosis, denying observed white pathological behavior (right to black's faces as they always have) while continuing to insidiously support it in any way possible.
It's maddening, if you can live long enough to see the whole thing.
Should not have been standing where a white didn't want him - that is, in America.
If you don't, it's your own fault. Come on. You were raised here and should know the landscape by now. Whites took slaves, invented Jim Crow, practiced mass murder, segregation, and discrimination, for hundreds of years (so much so, they now need laws in place today, specifically to stop them) and you don't understand they'll destroy a black person's life - for sport? That HAS to be the black's fault.
Matt Drudge is helping the nation like a tooth ache aids a cold
So naturally Drudge tells his gullible followers it's Obama's fault when whites kill black kids. And it's Obama's fault for speaking when whites kill black kids. And it's Obama's fault for not speaking enough when whites kill black kids. It's all the black man's fault. Because whites brought us here. Of course it is.
Any fool can see that.
The NYT's columnist's look hasn't changed, but her powers have supposedly increased dramatically
Glenn Reynolds says "OBAMA HAS NOW REACHED THE STAGE IN HIS PRESIDENCY where he’s consistently mocked by Maureen Dowd." Apparently The Blogfather forgot, he's been saying Maureen Dowd's an idiot for years, so (if Instapundit honestly believes that) why should we care again?
Does Glenn seriously think President Obama cares what that comical NewAge white lady thinks - when she can't even intelligently indulge in pot?
Centuries of black labor - viciously stolen by our country and countrymen - and then a white American has the gall to write this.
I wonder if whites, like Glenn, considers what W.E. B. du Bois called the "twoness" of black existence? Where there's our normal, black, way of thinking and then, also, the modulated one whites demand - under threat of personal destruction. Where does Maureen Dowd fit into Obama's black consciousness? Or anybody else's? Stop laughing.
All he wants to know is if she's funny enough to keep him in stitches
I'm sure Suge Knight - who (as expected) got shot six times last night - is deeply concerned with Dowd's opinion right now, as well.
Maybe whites should shoot for "Balanced & Fair" - or not "shoot" for anything?
That WOULD be like caring about the opinion of a homeopath. Plus - if you're black in America - you get it from all sides anyway, so you might as well go for self, no? Why can't Obama be doing that? As a black man?
Because, whites don't say that's what he's doing, that's why.
As much as blacks appreciate style, are you kidding me?
It's like conservatives, firmly believing blacks are in the Democrat's pocket. It's bizarre. We used to be with the Republicans, now we're (mostly) with the Dems - doesn't that show freedom of movement? But white conservatives have convinced themselves they can never win black votes. And rightfully so - but that's only because whites refuse to change their policies and outlook - NOT because black votes are unattainable.
Cops don't get arrested for killing gays, in Iran, either.
So whites are even lying to themselves.
But how can they not? When Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei reminds Americans of their history, the very-white Gatewaypundit taunts him back with "Of course, the good Ayatollah forgot to mention that slavery is still alive and well in several Muslim countries," as though that fact - somehow - miraculously made white America correct, their crimes to go away, and turned Jim Hoft into something more than the medical miracle of an actual white asshole capable of having a heart attack.
Please make Chris Christie the President so, at least, NewAgers will have to finallyshut up about their frustrations with Americans speaking and being American:
“I think folks around here know that I am willing to take as well as I give,” he said. “I didn’t wake up this morning worried and petrified about what Maureen Dowd on the op-ed page of The New York Times thinks about me.
“If you wake up as a Republican and worry about what the op-ed page of The New York Times thinks about you, you are going to be in a constant state of crisis.”
Christie defended his calling the New York Daily News reporter “a dope,” saying he is free in expressing his opinion. He added the newspaper was well within its right to express its opinion when it referred to the New Jersey governor as “fatso” in a recent headline.
“I don’t worry about this stuff. Whenever you express opinions in this world, other people have opinions about your opinions, and that’s OK,” he said. “So, you know, I thought a particular reporter was a dope, I said so, and I heard him on the radio today … and he seems like a very nice young man, a dope nonetheless, but a nice young man.”
Brilliant - just what I'm looking for:
Really, God, make this one happen and I'll make a note of it,....
Jesus, I am so pissed at the Evil Blogger Lady for getting me into this shit:
There's a whole gang of hilarious yoga/India/Hindu/NewAge videos I haven't seen before, and now I'm fucking hooked!
I don't need this right now, EBL!!!
Let me ask you guys again:
When you know an "astrologer" told The Washington Post's Sally Quinn about yoga, and she talked it over with The New York Times' Maureen Dowd, who then recommended Quinn to television news's David Gregory's (and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's) "teacher" - when this is the state of our nation's "leadership" - how does anyone expect anything to work in this country?
And you somehow think - instead of keeping the insanity going - a Mormon's going to fix this problem?
Folks, we've got A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JUST MONEY, and these videos are getting at the crux of it - because not only is this the crap our "movers and shakers" are indulging in, but a prime example of the very reason Americans are blowing so much money!!! If they can't even nonsense when they see it, or understand their motivations for throwing money down this "spiritual" black hole - even under the bogus disguise of "exercise" - then how is a Joseph Smith-following, Jesus-is-coming-back-to-Missouri-loving, Pat Robertson-looking, believer in cold fusion going to help us?
And the worst part is, some of you actually think there's a difference between Mormonism and this! Earth to America! Earth to America - listen up:
It's ALL madness!
Look, pray to your god - whether he's got an elephant head or not - but just be sure you're praying they can get you over whatever the effects of self-delusion are, and as fast as humanly possible:
Here's a quote from Tunku Varadarajan that jibes quite well with my current observation that, because of other shallow or pointless concerns, people with good ideas get short shrift these days:
"Once you go down the ‘identity’ route, your success as a politician tends to rest more on the weight of numbers—the size of your ethnic constituency, or your racial voting bloc—than on the weight of your ideas."
In other words, amongst idiots, ideas (good or otherwise) don't just speak for themselves. In today's climate, you can be brilliant - have all the answers - and nobody gives a shit, unless you're kissing the proper ass or already have a following.
Einstein would be a nobody today.
Another example is from a New York Times economics story, about a guy named Edward Hugh, that opens with this:
"For years, almost nobody paid attention to the sky-is-falling alarms of Edward Hugh, a gregarious British blogger and self-taught economist who repeatedly predicted that the euro zone could not survive.
Living a largely hand-to-mouth existence here on his part-time teacher’s salary, he sent one post after another into the Internet wilderness. It was the height of policy folly, he warned, to think that aging, penny-pinching Germans could successfully coexist under one currency umbrella with the more youthful, credit-card-wielding Irish, Greeks and Spaniards who shared the euro with them.
But now that the European sovereign debt crisis is rattling world markets, driving the euro lower almost every day and raising doubts about the future of the monetary union, his voluminous musings have become a must-read for an influential and growing global audience, including policy makers in the White House."
Get it? It's just like Jr. High:
Something has to start falling apart before the popular kids will ever entertain they could be wrong - and then, and only then, will they let someone else have a whack at it. We're surrounded by fools. And we wonder why the world, today, always seems to be teetering on the brink of disaster.
I'd like to also point out that Mr. Hugh is "gregarious" - not a sourpuss or angry - but nobody would pay him the time of day (or one thin dime) until they needed to, though he knew more than others did, all along. This man - the one with an accurate view of the world - was "living a largely hand-to-mouth existence" while the dumbshits (who probably made all the problems he's now being asked how to remedy) were feasting quite nicely, thank you.
This is our world.
This is why I call people stupid. There's no other word for it. People will say they're looking for answers - to any number of things - but, really, what they're looking for is their own self-aggrandizement. Problem-solving comes second.
So what kind of ideas do make the cut? Well, as I pointed out,The Washington Post's Sally Quinn talks to astrologers - while she writes a religion column for the paper. All perfectly acceptable in the year 2010.
So acceptable, she can mention it to The New York Times' Maureen Dowd and Dowd doesn't immediately run home and type out a column saying Sally Quinn is nuts for believing in a totally debunked idea (like they did when it was Nancy Reagan) but, instead, tells Quinn that NBC reporter David Gregory and President Obamas' Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, are involved in a stupid 5,000 year old Indian spiritual practice brought to America by a con man. Again:
All perfectly acceptable activities for the powerful opinion makers, and others in control of the United States, in the year 2010.
Brad Pitt is pretty big on telling the rest of us how to live as well. And why shouldn't he, when he's only the adulterous fan of the cult leader, Ken Wilber - along with the adulterous Bill Clinton - and Pitt also consults a psychic? Say it with me:
All perfectly acceptable in the year 2010.
What's not acceptable in 2010 is to point out this is all crazy. That the rich and powerful of this country have taken leave of their senses, and their decisions - which are affecting (infecting?) the rest of us, negatively, in all sorts of ways - reflect it.
Take San Francisco Mayor, Gavin Newsom - please! - he cheated with his campaign manager/best friend's wife, dated a Scientologist, was married by a psychic, and has destroyed the economy of The City, and what is the result? People want him to run for Lieutenant Governor! And don't you dare, in the year 2010, say anything against it. You'll be laughed out of the room.
And, by the way, Mayor Newsom is a big Lady Gaga fan (even after she admitted her music sucks) and Lady Gaga is,...oh, never mind.
If you're living within the old paradigm, then you're missing it: I'm part of the new paradigm. Maybe even it's leader: educated atheist minority artists, probably conservative, who could give a shit about your obsession with racism - we care about other things.
"Today politics appears a shrivelled and flaccid affair,...there are no political principles at stake, no political leaders or parties worthy of the name. All is small and narrow and petty."
O.K. - here we go:
I'm losing interest in the Instapundit for being so out-of-step. ("Woman Says Citibank Fired Her Because She Was Too Hot." Who cares?) Reynolds once dissed Hip-Hop on his blog and that's just how I see him: one of those non-racist people who still said it's not music as it took over the world anyway.
I know he doesn't link to me, because he doesn't like my style, but fuck him - I won't kiss his ass: he's a gatekeeper, not anybody's judge. What he does with his power is unfair and wrong; his "community" myopic. I'm not spreading look-at-it-this-way-or-that opinion - I'm right as Rush - and, until he recognizes it, he's what we in South Central, Los Angeles, call an educated fool.
End sermon.
Actually, no, here's an example of the very-real phenomena (NewAge) Reynolds isn't addressing - that drives a lot of our world and makes the news daily - within our politics, and elsewhere:
"Move over Chris Matthews, here comes Sir Paul McCartney.
Matthews has been unceremoniously knocked off the Fawning Obama Perch by a more high profile fawn.
Before 'The Won' lets the message go to his Messianic head, McCartney has followed one cult or another his entire life.
First came the Beatles’ adulation of the late Guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the 'Giggling Guru', so named for his high-pitched laughter during television interviews.
About the levitating guru of Transcendental Meditation fame, McCartney once said: 'We made a mistake. We thought there was more to him than there was. He’s human. We thought at first that he wasn’t.'
The same could be said about Guru Obama.
In later years, McCartney, like his friend Prince Charles, went organic and vegetarian and was once appalled when a buckshot-touting farmer in response to being reminded who McCartney was, blurted out: 'I don’t give a damn who you are, get off my land.'"
And there it is: baby boomer cultism, as the gateway to our society's obsessions with environmentalism, organics, vegetarianism, multiculturalism (AKA "race") meditation, yoga, and a whole lot more. Most importantly, our politics.
From Al Qaeda and Hamas to various figures in this Vanity Fair piece - including people like Rahm Emanuel:
"After an astrologer told Sally that Quinn would benefit from yoga, she had lunch with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who recommended her own teacher, Pary, whose students included David Gregory and Rahm Emanuel."
That's right:
An astrologer told the Washington Post's Sally Quinn about yoga, who talked it over with The New York Times' Maureen Dowd, and she recommended television's David Gregory and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's "teacher".
All these "movers and shakers" (who move and shake our lives with their, regularly idiotic and simply wrong-headed, take on things) all involved in one form or another of cultism. And not a word from the Instapundit on what kind of effect that has on our information stream.
Cultism is the unspoken lubricant that's greasing our society's fucked-up workings. And, until Reynolds starts addressing cultism, in American society and the Western World, his blog reads clueless.
From a review of Sex and the City2 - tell me this ain't weird, and the result of cultism:
"Samantha's vagina is doing fine. She rubs yams on it, okay? She takes 48 vagina vitamins a day."
Where'd she learn that from? Who told her that was smart? Why is it in a feminist movie? Who's directing our thinking out there? Especially if astrologers and yogis are instructing the likes of Sally Quinn, Maureen Dowd, David Gregory and Rahm Emanuel?
Look at this:
"Most of the people who graduated in the 60's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can't get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.
The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years,...Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards,...exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe it.... That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization."
Professor Reynolds, seriously, in light of the Vanity Fair quote, isn't cultism a better explanation for the weirdness that's happening, than what you're guessing at, daily?
With Oprah Winfrey - purveyor of The Secret and wackjob "spiritual" online Eckhart Tolle seminars - choosing our president. Are you, or are you not, missing a huge cultural/social/political story?
