WTF Happened to RepubliKKKans?
[Why for example do conservatives loudly claim to revere the Constitution, yet spend so much time discussing how they'd like to dismantle every aspect of the federal government that is the very expression of the principles embodied in that document?
Another thing that surprises me: instead of targeting the predatory bankers who almost destroyed our economy, why do conservative politicians instead target government programs that actually help people like Medicaid and Social Security?
Why do they fight tooth and nail to protect elite billionaires like the Koch brothers from paying a one tenth of one percent increase on their tax rates?
...And why has religious fundamentalism taken over the Republican party as obviously as it now has? Perry and Bachman openly admit they do not believe in evolution (making creationism mainstream for the first time) but they do believe in angels and demons, they say. They would have felt right at home in the 15 century.]

Sometimes, It Ain't Great to Be the King; Ritual sacrifice of Irish kings
Sometimes crops fail. Perhaps droughts strike the land, or the tribe loses resources in battle. The king ultimately, fatally, bore responsibility for the weather.
Thank God mankind has become slightly more civilized in the last 2,000 years.
Now, ex-president Cheny can write a selfish, self serving pile of false crap hoods, self pity disguised a self justification.
Freakin' soul-less bastard better thank his dark Lord, Satan, to have escaped ritual torture for hundreds of thousands of innocent lives sacrificed during his administrion.
[An expert has stated that the latest bog body found in Ireland has proven that belief that the Celts ritually sacrificed their kings to the Gods.
The body also proves they underwent horrible deaths, if the times turned bad under their reign.
The latest Iron Age bog body dating back to at least 2,000 BC was discovered near Portlaoise in the Irish midlands by an alert bog worker and it bears the same hallmarks of ritual torture that two other famous bodies have.]

Party Like a Bank Star
[The senior executive of the Anglo Irish Bank - which single-handedly almost brought down the Irish economy - embarked on a series of wild parties and giveaways to clients as the Irish economy tanked.
They spent heavily on American clients. The bank spent $120,000 on one party for staff at the Mansion House in Dublin as the crisis kicked in.
An e-mail from the bank’s then Chief Executive, David Drumm, announced the party stated: “Dear colleague, the stock markets are down. They say the economy is in recession. It rained most of the ‘summer’. The holidays are over. This is Anglo so there is only one thing to do – party!...”
In December 2008, as the economy began its free-fall Anglo spent $250,000 on a Christmas party for staff and $100,000 on wine and Christmas gifts that month alone.]

"{H}e cried because he knew he couldn't afford the health costs he'd be charged for his hospitalization."
For the cognitively impaired, read and weep if you have a shred of humanity in your soul.
Curb stomp my ass.
[Last Friday night a slightly built 20-year old Salt Lake City resident named Dane Hall was leaving a gay themed nightclub in Utah when he was followed by four men. They began to shout gay slurs at him.
Moments later one of them attacked the young man from behind, punching him on the back of the head and knocking him to the ground.
Another assailants then grabbed his shirt and began punching him repeatedly in the face. When Hall fell to the ground the attacker placed his open mouth over the street curb and stomped on the back of his head, knocking out six of Hall's teeth in a move commonly referred to as 'curb checking.'
It's an action which can result in death in many cases.
A piece of bone from Hall's jaw jammed into his brain. His mouth has been wired shut now. In the ambulance he cried because he knew he couldn't afford the health costs he'd be charged for his hospitalization. The young man who weighs 150 pounds won't be able to eat solid food for ten weeks.
It's the second serious hate crime attack outside the same club since April. So far no arrests have been made in either attack. Why isn't this all over the news? Have a guess.
Utah, by the way, is the home of former Republican Senator Chris Buttars who became famous for telling a documentary filmmaker in 2009 that gay people don't have any morals and for comparing gay activists to radical Muslims, saying they're one of America's greatest threats.]

Lenny Bruce: "Blah, Blah, Blah"
"Have you ever blahed a blah?"
Lest you think this a dead issue, Florida law stills forbids cohabitation by heterosexual couples.
[TALLAHASSEE – Unmarried couples who want to take the plunge and move in together, take heart. A Florida legislator is seeking to make you legal.
"Cohabitation" of unmarried people is currently a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by $500 or up to 60 days in jail. The same penalty applies to cheating husbands and wives — though only to opposite-sex couples.
The laws have been on the books since the late 1800s, but are rarely enforced. In 2006, though, a Jacksonville woman did take advantage of the law and have her husband arrested for cheating, according to a news report. (It's not clear how the case came out.)]
You think this a dead issue in 2011 in FL?
Really?
Consider the words of a serving sitting FL legislator: "Consider the response of State Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, who previously headed the Florida chapter of the Christian Coalition: "I'm not ready to give up on monogamy and a cultural statement that marriage still matters," he said." http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/fl-adultery-repeal-bill-20110829,0,5790289.story
Sodomy?
you can find that at Florida Criminal Statutes http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=View%20Statutes&SubMenu=1&App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=sodomy&URL=0800-0899/0847/Sections/0847.001.html, (5) ““Deviate sexual intercourse” means sexual conduct between persons not married to each other consisting of contact between the penis and the anus, the mouth and the penis, or the mouth and the vulva.” (emphasis added)
Sodomy my well washed ass, latent homosexual KKKristians like Mr. Baxley quoted above notwithstanding.
If you search enough old testament translations, you can find a reference for sodomy in Song of Solomon, with the male characacter saing to the female:
"The curve of your thighs
is like the work of an artist.
2 A bowl is there,
that never runs out of spiced wine."
Seriously men, do I need to make it clearer?
RepubliKKKans?
Alleged FL state representative Dennis Baxley?
Have you, Representative Baxley, ever blahed your wife's blah?

"It can cost a lot of money to eat rght"
[n six area counties — Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Brevard and Volusia — from 25 percent to 31 percent of kids are what the government calls "food insecure." That means more than 190,000 children live in families that sometimes go hungry, don't know where their next meal is coming from or have to rely on cheap, nutritionally sparse food to fill their stomachs — something that, ironically, can lead to childhood obesity.
"It can cost a lot of money to eat healthy," said Dave Krepcho, president and CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. "Put yourself in the place of a single mom, working full time at a minimum-wage job, and you get to the third or fourth week of the month and maybe you have 20 or 30 bucks left. Are you going to buy fresh strawberries at $4.99 a basket or three boxes of mac and cheese mix? You want to keep your children's bellies from rumbling."]

If you have nightmares about zombies...
dream yourself a 12 gauge pistol grip pump shotgun.
Seriously, yours truly used to have terrible nightmares in childhood: monsters, falling, flying and then getting scared of going too high into the sky, with panic in all.
Until, somehow, something taught me to regulate my breathing to regulate altitude.
Later when chased by zombies and other existential fears, my self told my dreaming self that this getting too scary and panic inducing, and so acquired myself a 12 gauge and began blasting pursuing creatures.
Many have scoffed at this notion over the decades, that the "conscious" mind can influence the dreaming mind; "That is impossible!" mocks Rusty, a current neighbor.
Nevertheless if Freud explored the sub-conscious through exploring dreams related to him to analyze the conscious mind, humans can sometimes affect their dreams consciously.
Put another way, when the brain turns any situation over and over in the head--say the SAT exams, a job interview, a relationship--these things can show up in dreams.
Needless to say, this remains an unproven theory.
Imagine my surprise as an adult when reading Herman Hesse's Demian
to find the same description of controlling dream flight by breathing, a discovery which allowed me much sleep n childhood, adolescence, and my so-called adulthood, now preserving whichever wisps of slumbered dreams remain with my insomnia.
So now after never watching scary movies as a child--once had to hide behind the black and white telly in Milwaukee during a terrifying episode of the Twilight Zone with fearsome aliens--movies like Zombieland don't terrify me any more nor haunt my dreams.
If zombies do show up during the small hours of darker mornings, I just get me a shotgun.
What a great way to work out frustrations for surely God forgives blasting zombies--and vampires.
Rage Against the Machine: "Pistol Grip Pump," possibly greatest bass riff of all time, "Bowm wa wa BWOMP!"

[LAKE COUNTY, Fla. -- Clermont police used a Taser on a man who they say followed a 10-year-old girl from her bus stop while he was naked.
Eyewitnesses told police 21-year-old Marcus Perkins was wandering through the Sierra Vista subdivision in Clermont on Thursday when he started following the young girl.
Authorities said Perkins fought off officers as they tried to detain him.
They had to use a stun gun to subdue him.] emphasis added
