A National Plan to Fight Cankles

“Like you and many Americans, I have cankles- unsightly calves that go straight into my ankles…Yet, you are proof that a woman horribly afflicted with cankles can be sexy even outside the fetish fringes. What is your secret? Are you some mysterious enchantress? What spell have you cast on us? and what is your national plan to combat the growing threat of cankles in America?” […]

Another Rigged Poll. Guess Who Wins?

The poll had a captcha system to block spambots (you had to type in an auto-generated password to enter) but ultimately, like Stalin always said, elections aren’t won by who gets the most votes, but by who gets to count them. […]

If FOX News Existed Throughout History

To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, the most honest part of a newspaper is its advertisements. He also said “I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.” And who can blame him, if Rupert Murdoch, the owner of FOX News, was printing his first pro-Tory tabloid rags way back in 1776. Don’t laugh. Look at the ancient bastard. […]

CIA Polling Companies

The CIA memo specifically refers to these propaganda initiatives as “psychological operations” (PSYOPS), that include contracting polling companies to create fraudulent polls that show the NO vote with an advantage over the SI vote, which is false. […]

Why Planted Questions Matter

Why it matters: planted questions deny your right to question candidates asking for your vote. It’s like trying to buy a car, and the dealer telling you only certain questions may be asked of him if you wish to make a purchase. You can’t ask the final price, you can’t ask about fuel economy, you can’t ask about reliability, or about any particulars of the car’s engine or maker because the dealer has arrogantly assumed you have no choice.

Stroke of Insight — Jill Bolte Taylor

Neuro- anatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story of recovery and awareness — of how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another. (Recorded February 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 18:44.)

John Stossel Bitch Slapped – Literally

In a pinnacle of investigative journalism rivaling Woodward and Bernstein’s work in Watergate, John Stossel makes the startling allegation that wrestling is fake. In rebuttal, he is bitch slapped like the steaming pile of dog shit he really is. Note how he runs like a girl after the second slap. Also, read the letter below to see why I have actually risked defaming dog shit by association. […]

Bush, Kerry and the Skull and Bones

It was not the GOP defense of the Andrew Meyer tasering that angered me, it was the "liberals" defense of it and Kerry's tacit approval of it, when, in the irony of ironies, they were on the same page as the "fascist pigs" they blog about constantly. What did the far right have to say? did they condemn it? of course not, they were on the same page. Bill O'Reilly called Meyer a wimp and offered free "Don't tase me bro!" bumper stickers. CNN's Glenn "I-Should-Have-Drank-Myself-to Death-While-I-Had-the-Chance" Beck, ever the good and Christian Mormon sadistic corn-pone apron-boy and Marquis DeSade incarnate, said "Watching taser videos is a little like potato chips, you can't watch just one."

Margaret Sanger’s “The Pivot of Civilization” Reviewed

“Authorities tell us that 75 % of the school-children are defective. This means that no less than fifteen million schoolchildren, out of 22,000,000 in the United States, are physically or mentally below par.”The Pivot of Civilization, by Margaret Sanger. Margaret Sanger would deeply influence America’s infamous sterilization laws. Adolf Hitler, while in prison, was so influenced by the eugenics movement it would literally form the foundation for the Holocaust: the Final Solution as to the question of “race hygiene.” […]

Diogenes

An interesting story is the one where the young Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) met Diogenes, then a very old man. The powerful young conqueror, being solicitous of the old philosopher, asked what, if anything he could do for him. Diogenes replied, "I have nothing to ask but that you would remove to the other side, that you may not, by intercepting the sunshine, take from me what you cannot give". As Alexander took his leave, he said "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes." […]
