Latest Humorous T-shirt Slogan: From my cold, dead hand. This was made humorous by showing an american soldier being looted by a troop in the middle-east. Yes, I know that it is not humorous at all, but we have four more years of dealing with it, lighten up.
It's fun to hate:
Music lost to history: Alice Cooper: Roses on White Lace
Alice Cooper is basically what Marilyn Manson has become. He sang about really taboo subjects at a time
when taboo actually was taboo. This particular tune is one that I began listening to after being dumped by the girl that I was supposed to marry
back in the early nineties. It is actually one of three songs that play back to back on most albums. Those three songs are, if memory serves,
"chop, chop, chop", "Gail" and "Roses on White Lace". I never really appreciated the other two quite as much as this one, but then I have
never hacked anyone to death, so check back later... This song stands alone as being pretty cool just because it states the anger that I was having at the time (back in the '90s). At the same time, it illustrates that Marilyn Manson is following the course of another very successful rocker. While Cooper's songs were not earth-shaking, they were provocative. That single fact is what has led to Manson's success. I have never heard or read Marilyn Manson say that Alice Cooper was an actual influence on his music, but here is an example of it from twenty years ago. Is It Porn? The last entry, Was.com was not porn. Now for a tough one. Breast.com. What do you think, is it porn? No, it is not porn.

My erratic posting schedule continues, and for no damn reason I might add. Consider it a respite from the mundane garbage that I throw up here, or not, it is all up to you.
• The Presidential election went horribly to shit, as we all know, and now we are starting to see a bit of the aftermath. This first item is just a bit depressing, but at the same time it is someone with the cajones to do what so many of us want to: Ground Zero Suicide Driven by ElectionNow that is just the type of 'take action' attitude we are looking for in this country, right? Of course it is difficult to try to blame an action as extreme as suicide on a political election, but haven't most liberal people at least thought about it? Especially considering that: Bush to Seek Gay-Marriage Ban in New Term -AideThere is a lot more to that article than the little part that I slapped up here. The only reason that I chose that particular quote to slap up here is that it just seems so humorous to me, well it would be were it not an actual view that someone has...Especially when that someone is in charge of the country and likely capable of buying enough people off to suit his own agenda.
Honestly, aren't the 'activist judges' trying to protect the rights of every man or woman when they make a ruling stating that same sex marriage is not against the law? I know that it really pisses off a lot of really
homophobic people from the south, but that should not be the point. This country was (supposedly) built from the 'melting pot' of the entire world, yet, as little as twenty years ago marrying someone outside of your own race was still considered
taboo (likely still is in some of the more
Allowing homosexuals to marry is not going to hurt anyone. It is not going to make the 'sanctity of marriage' any less valuable. It is only going to allow a couple of people to have a piece of paper to prove their love for each other. It seems so simple a point that I get really irritated about it. How is it possible that the most powerful nation in the entire
world can have such closed-minded beliefs? Oh, wait, that's right, it is all about the bible (which, I assure you I have read cover to cover more than once. It is possibly the best pulp fiction of all time. Rife with incest, rape and murder just to name a few of its best qualities. If you have never read it, why not? Best novel ever!).
I don't really know why I really start to rant when homosexuality is the issue, I think it might be because of the horrible hypocrisy of the church/state issue, i.e. Why is it that Priests can rape six year old boys and get little more than a slap on the wrist, while sex between two consenting adults, of the same sex, is considered a crime against God? What of the Priests
who are not only gay, but gay pedophiles? They don't love, or want to marry, any of the little six-year-olds that they molest and rape. Why aren't there more of these priests being put on the stand to answer for their sins? Did the state and the church meld again?
Of course Bush was reelected based on his 'war on terror' schtick, and there is some pretty solid evidence of his sincerity right here: Terror Financing Fines Fall After 9/11Now that is the type of thing you would expect to see from a country dedicated to stopping the funding of terrorists, right? Hmm. I think there might have been at least a bit of misleading information being thrown about in the last election.
I have said it before and I will say it again, "Hell in a handbasket".
• I am left to wonder one thing. Does the entire world only see the same headlines that I see? Being totally honest, I really hate the USA based on the headlines that I am seeing. Perhaps not as much as the rest of the world hates us, as I don't have plans to kill innocent people based on it, but enough that I really wish that I was
a citizen of some country that is not going to be the site of jihad for the forseeable future. And that is why I am a bad American, I like to look at things objectively and form my own opinion. Maybe I should just go watch Springer, intelligence and objectivity don't seem to be as usefull as I thought they'd be.
