Hardcore Hypotheticals

When I cast my vote for Barack Obama, I admit to a certain amount of bandwagoning, and not a little political masturbation. I imagined our fresh, young, muscly president mounting the podium in Congress on his first day and proceeding to rip assholes left and right, like a blind Incredible Hulk at an orgy. Against gay marriage? “You’re a curmudgeonly old bigot,” Barry would lay it out, street like, and fix the bullshit laws. Slave to lobbyists? “You’re a friggin’ traitor, and your votes won’t count until you shed the corporate weight.” Just firing off the shocker left and right with his other two arms. Are you drafting laws in the face of scientific fact like global warming and evolution? “Hey, from now on, asshole, we listen to experts, and not greedy dumbfucks with something to gain.” Spewing hyperbolic, partisan doomsday language on either side of the isle? “I order you to smoke two joints a day until you learn to calm the fuck down.” The big climax would come when he said, “Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean it deserves any credence.” Just splooging rationalism all over the front rows of the gallery like the sexiest Gallagher show ever. Money shot. Sometimes, if I had trouble getting to philosophical nirvana, I’d have him throw in something about how European Socialism is pretty neat, and that, no, in fact, he’s not a Muslim, he’s an atheist. “Can’t do nothin’ about it now, sucka. I already got the keys!” Since then, even though pundits love to call Obama a radical secular leftist with no concern for process, he’s been everything but what we elected him to be. If you seriously think Obama is radical, you should see the alternate universe where he actually did what we hired him to … Finish reading this sumbitch!

First They Came For the Schnauzers…

Scumbag Style takes to religion like a fetus takes to a rusty hanger, simultaneously in a constant, frantic, claustrophobic dodge and hurling wild, vitriolic, impotent missives like Michael J. Fox at a stoning. For the most part, though, we’ve stuck to Christianity, because we’re an American ‘zine, and Christianity is the greatest threat America has faced these few decades. We don’t fuck too much with Islam, not because in the grand scheme of things it is any better – in fact it may be worse than Christianity on a global scale. Like cholera, or Africanized bees, or Kylie Minogue; we’re not denying it sucks like whoa, it just isn’t really our problem. And anyway, the way our conservative leaders have dealt with the Muslim problem since 9/11 has been hyperbolic, racist, ignorant, jingoistic, intolerant – – I’m being redundant to make a point. There is just no reason to squat over an overflowing pool of festering horse shit. But if you’re going to be a clown, I’m not going to just leave it. Sometimes we forget, while we deal with our own Christian fuck heads, Europe’s mostly secular Western population is suffering from a massive Muslim problem. It has been happening for some time, with Muslims hitching up the early model Toyotas and heading west, swelling European populations with their own numbers, and loudly clambering for crazy laws to be passed. It’s like if a bunch of giraffes started squatting in your home and didn’t learn to eat at the table, but demanded all chicken dinners be put in the attic where they can reach it, because there are four of you and six of them. But most of us were made aware of the scope of the fucktardery by reports of the Jihad against a Danish newspaper cartoonist who … Finish reading this sumbitch!

Stop Making Good Points!

(Science never had a chance…) There are some in the right wing media suggesting the recent rash of Christian killings is a blatant attack on the United States itself (I saw it on like Megyn Kelly or something, and it looks like Geraldo will be filtering it through his mustache tonight). The idea here is that America is a Christian nation, and that killing Christians in the Middle East is some kind of retaliatory gesture for our sticking our fingers in their crazy cake for the past decade or so. That is so ridiculous, so maddeningly, infuriatingly bass-ackwards that… it has to be true. I just wish there were some way it could have been avoided… “Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law…”   Shut up Jefferson, you were a Christian because we say so. It’s the only story that fits our red pen marks on history, and we’ll not have you reaching your rotting, French manicured hand out from beyond the grave to fuck with that. Bitch. Seriously, though, that is a seriously salient argument. Coming from the same channel that skipped third grade science and doesn’t know how the tides work, that display of mental prowess is nothing short of Herculean. Now follow that line of logic through, you guys. You can do it, I believe in you. If killing Christians in the Middle East is an attack on the Christian U.S… and your pet politicians keep insisting that America is indeed a Christian nation… come on, you can do it… even though a founding principal of the nation involves a clear directive to keep separate Church and State… supported by supplemental documents from nearly all of the founding fathers… the way this issue could be completely avoided is – – wait wait, … Finish reading this sumbitch!
