I wandered over to Yahoo.com today, and I see this headline:
BRAIN-DEAD WOMAN IN VA. GIVES BIRTHAh, fuck me. This shit again.
Yes, folks, we (once again) run into a conundrum. THE BITCH IS BRAINDEAD! WHAT WE GOAN DO?! Uh... do we give her an abortion? How the fuck should I know? Wait, wait, who's gonna take care of the kid?
Man 1: I think we should give the baby to the wolves.
Man 2: *bleep* is you crazy?!
Man 1: Worked wonders for Romulus and Remus.
Man 2: Didn't Remus kill Romulus?
Man 1: Hey, man, I ain't no expert in Star Trek, don't be askin' me that shit.
Man 2: ... *BANG*
In any case, this brain-dead lady has given teh birth. I know the shit's gonna hit the fan-- the only thing in the news is shit hitting the fan! Even the things they show on slow newsdays eventually hit the fan!
Remember the kitten with two faces?
Remember how it died?
Remember?
Nothing good happening in the news. The news is basically a giant, choreographed clusterfuck in which the entire human race in a particular sector of Earth gathers aroudn what they perceive to be a problem (and which is actually none of their business) and meddle. Oh, not in the good, Scooby Doo, breaking-and-entering-and-stealing-shit sort of way, either. No, that bad type of meddle, that makes us hate our in-laws. And Satan. But I digress!
Remember Terri Schiavo? Remember how many times you mispronounced her last goddamn name? Remember? Well, as you may well remember, it was just a giant custody battle between a husband and his wife's parents / family. It was, at best, a troubling legal conundrum that was quickly (though ineffectively and unsatisfactorially) solved by saying, "She don't got no livin' will, she up shit creek."
How is and ever, my good friends, a giant political war, though brief, was waged over a single woman. Does this not sound like Helen of Troy, save for sex appeal? And lack of any sex at all? Unless you're weird, in which case I'd prefer not to travel down that road.
The war was this: "Hey, we're big and powerful! We create the laws which govern our people yet do not govern ourselves. So, while we're creating outlandish laws to reduce the liberty and freedom of our people, why don't we start reducing their freedom of, say, living?" And so, the politicians took it upon themselves to legislate life and death.
I can see that a lot of bad things are about to happen. With the appointment of Bolton (I have this odd sense that his first name is Michael. Is it?) to the UN, and the nomination of that Supreme Justice dude, I see two things happening:
1.) Bolton pisses off everybody around the world. He travels about the globe not unlike Russel Crowe in South Park, and ends up punching Chirac in the face. Chirac then rips his heart out Indiana-Jones-Shaman-style, and World War Five: Electric Boogaloo begins.
2.) Supreme Justice Dude casts the tie-breaking votes to make illegal abortion. Also, perhaps pornography, free speech, (what little there is left of it,) suffrage (raar!), and condoms. Also, perhaps a mandatory Government-decided religion?
That reminds me. Did anybody else see George W. Bush on TV after the first set of London Bombings? Chirac, President of France, stood there with his hands clasped in front of him, perfectly still, staring off camera at a fixed point. Occasionally, he smiled, and appeared to be enjoying himself quite thoroughly in his head.
Dubya, on the other hand, stood like a G.I. Joe action figure, looking from side to side every five seconds as though he was paranoid from all that coke he's been snorting.
Here's a secret: Chirac... has served in the army. The army teaches you many things, one of them being how to stand on parade. Simply stand still, get into a comfortable, yet professional, looking position, stare into space, and think about something that makes you happy.
By the way Chirac was smiling, I have a feeling he was thinking about sex. Why do I get that feeling?
Hey, I know I get a big sile when I think about it, too, and it hits me just like it hit him... :P
Oh! News for you. Japan rocks. Though I've always been a bit anti-Japan, (TENTACLE RAPE, RAPE, ETC, RAPE, ETC) they are really very advanced technologically. For one thing, they've figured out how to determine what card you're using without you telling them. All they need is the number. I visited a few download sites, (such as moecon.com, and digiket.com, dlsite.com, doujin-club.com) and the two I actually bought from (Moecon.com and Digiket.com) were very, very simple to use, even though I can read only a very limited amount of Japanese. I know the word for Name, I know the word for Credit Card (but not number,) and I know the word for Telephone, (but not very well,) so I had to use babelfish.altavista.com for translations of the fields I had to fill in, (just to make sure,) but, after I did that, I got my download, and I was off on my little merry way.
They ask you, usually, for four things. Name, Credit Card Number, Telephone Number, and Email Address. (Mail Address.) Go on, order now! It's fun and easy. And Yen to Dollar conversion is so ridiculously cheap, I paid $8.52 for two DVDs. (CG Set DVDs.)
Um, what else? Oh, yes-- Dizzy-chan rocks. Go to
http://www.geocities.jp/racco_rk9,
and go scope out the products. I bought both. They rule. Buy 'em buy 'em buy 'em buy 'em!
I think that's about it. I might have a background in here later. Oyasumi, this little Gear's going to bed.
