Man, I love Lewis Black!  So insightful…

Our government wants us fixated on grade school dribble.  Who is allowed to marry, somebody burned a flag, put prayer back in the schools, keep prayer out of the schoools, who took steroids to win the “Tour de France”, what senator can clean up baseball.  With all the life changing, world shaping crap that’s hitting the fan, these are the issues that are thrown out to confuse the idle minds of the masses.

Somebody tell John McCain we don’t give a flying “f” if Barry Bonds cheated in baseball.  It’s entertainment you moron!  What are you doing about the middle east other than sending your kid to be cannon fodder?  Where are we getting energy from after they irradiate the entire Arabian Peninsula?  Why are we continuing to bury garbage in our midwest states?  What the f*** is happening in “Old Mexico” and most of Central America that has everybody there moving here?  Why do we continue to create a sh*tholes around the globe while not fixing the one in New Orleans?  But heaven help us the home run record is in jeopardy!  It’s the old shell game.  “Pay no attention to that man with the anal probe behind the curtain”!

McCain’s no worse than any of our electeds, I just picked on him because he’s easy.  He’s surely justified with his service to the country to be a “little out there”.  But let’s everyone get off the Bob married Steve crap.  Thank goodness Bob married Steve because I don’t want to take care of Steve when he’s old and gray!  I’ve seen Steve and he’s gay and I’m not.  And I’m sure Steve doesn’t want to live with me either.  And that’s just fine for both me and Steve.  Bob and Steve, you have the right to grow old and miserable together just like everyone on this corrupt, polluted rock we call home.

Give ‘em hell Louis!

Take ‘em down Lou…

As the commenter above me points out:  Why is it that people like John Stewart and Lewis Black are the only ones calling our leaders out for plain, simple lies and falsehoods??

How come when Rumsfeld said, “I never knew where the WMD’s were…”, the only person to call him out on that was John Stewart.

He went and replayed Rummy going, “We know exactly where they are, East, West, South and North in the area arount Tikrit.”

Why?  What the hell is wrong with us?

We’ve certainly come a long way in our cultural confines when the only seemingly sane self-perspective of our mores comes to us via comedy schtick.  Our bodypolitik these days seems so listless that I often find myself infront of Comedy Central and Doonesbury just to get any kind of substantive polemic in these days of the milquetoast MSM and the antidemocratic antics of the Bush White House.

In a Votairean way, I say keep the truth to power thread going, and maybe, just maybe we as a culture can learn to laugh again.  -Kevo
