Someone in a group with which I'm affiliated did something horrible today! OMG! Now everyone will start oppressing me because of that thing that other person did and won't judge me on the content of my own deeds, goals, and ideals! I am simply a victim of the circumstance, and the media will only focus on that one thing and imply that everyone like me is capable of doing these horrible things! They will drag our poor, defenseless selves through the mud on this! How could I live with myself then! Oh, if only we had decided to not let in those yearning to carry their freak flags, maybe we wouldn't have attracted these psychos who don't care how they bad they make us look when they do these things. I wish I had more of a spine to defend the oddities that defined me as a person, fight for my rights no matter how controversial, and grant me the authority to inform others that what I do is far different from what the sensationalists who write the news tickers might say. But I'm too scared and it's too hard for me to be an individual!
Of course, I'm referring to the incident of an abortion doctor who was shot and killed in his house of worship yesterday. See here: http://www.kansas.com/946/story/834444.html Why, what did you think I was talking about?
My point about the recent furry pederasty thing in Pennsylvania ( http://www.fox43.com/news/wpmt-pmnews-furryperv-05-29-09,0,636921.story ) is that furry folks should simply roll with the punches and show some self-respect. Making yourself the victim in this thing is just plain idiotic and solipsistic, and blaming one sect of the fandom makes you no better than the folks who look down on all of us all the time. |

The past couple of weeks have been very trying for me; it feels as if the world has undergone a fundamental change and all that I know has been rendered invalid by this disturbing period of economic liminality. It started, I would suppose, on September 15th, when XM Radio decided to temporarily eliminate their punk radio station with a 24 hour AC/DC station. For me, the possibility that I might hear “Killing For Jesus” or “Hinkley Had a Vision” on the way to work was a great sustaining force, and the station itself with its mix of emotionally raw music was the perfect outlet for my anger. I could, I suppose, have purchased some portable music player for my car and loaded it with podcasts that might appeal to me, but it still isn't quite the same as having a radio station that never disappointed, had an amazingly eclectic song set, and if you hated a song chances are it was over in a minute. Supposedly the station will be back on January 15th, 2009; incidentally the inauguration of the newly elected President or possibly John McCain is just five days later... meaning I have to survive the remainder of the political season with much of my anger left intact and festering.
So in my particularly vulnerable state I've gotten to know quite a bit about Sarah Palin. When she was first selected to be McCain's running mate I immediately thought the Republicans had taken the cynical approach-- trying to steal away some of the disenfranchised Clinton supporters with Palin's natural virtue of being female. I soon realized, however, that this view of mine was prejudiced and colored by my own political bias, so I decided that I would reserve judgment until I had a better idea as to what Sarah Palin really is about. After all, she was governor of Alaska; surely she must have some sense, I thought. Then some information on her political views began to trickle in to the news cycle. There was mention of something called "Troopergate" which progressively became more and more insidious as details were made known and her husband's refused to testify. There is of course the fact that her daughter is pregnant, which chides with Palin's tyrannical views on sex in a sickening hypocrisy that those on the other side of the political aisle ignore, preferring to call Palin a hero for not, say, committing a murder-suicide. Oh, but I forgot about how this story evokes shades of the prodigal son, except that it isn't; it just seems that way on the surface, and anyone who understands the parable can tell that the marriage of the daughter and her partner is no slaughtering of a fatted calf.
Of course, the issue with Palin's daughter is barely even an issue, and only made so by the poetic justice that makes this best exemplify the problems with pushing only abstinence (i.e. more teen pregnancy). The deal-breaker for me was when I learned of her untenable views on rape and abortion. Namely, she didn't want Alaska to pay for rape kits, which are used to collect evidence of sexual assaults. There is no possible justification for this. Her political life, the very moment this view became known, should have been over for her. Cutting this kind of funding is tantamount in my eyes to standing on a soapbox and announcing to the world that you think rape isn't a crime, and is merely just slightly coercive sex, since golly-gosh-darn y'know, women are all such whores. I find the whole thing disgusting and I wonder why anyone could possibly share that view or even tolerate it.
[Note: It seems Palin did not necessarily oppose the rape kits, but the police chief she hired did, possibly because they could cover emergency contraception. Check comments for more info and links, and feel free to investigate more on your own.]
It doesn't even end there. Recently there has been the tour de force that is the interview with Katie Couric. I don't have to mention it here; surely everyone has seen the clips by now. Even staunch Republicans couldn't save the sinking ship this time. I don't even feel good writing about it; it's like I'm kicking a wounded puppy. Couric's expressions during the train wreck spoke volumes, exuding what I believe was not only a fear that this woman could actually be our next Vice President, but an anger that this woman might set the feminist movement behind another thirty years with her reactionary insanity. I only felt an ephemeral glee when I watched those clips. I soon began to wonder where exactly the world went wrong that would allow this to happen. Here I was thinking I was being overly cynical when I thought that the whole of humanity amounts to excrement, and then I see Katie Couric, who is not exactly known for her journalistic skill and throws softballs that even an untrained seal could hit, clearly unimpressed with and possibly even scared of the off-the-rails Palin. My divestment of the human race became, at that moment, justified.
There is no reason Sarah Palin should be John McCain's running mate, other than the possibility of reenergizing the "base" (i.e. religious crazies); she has no appeal beyond that which I can fathom. Last night while watching Real Time With Bill Maher I saw Christiane Amanpour feeling the need to defend Palin for being such a lousy candidate, which confounded me. Palin, like Amanpour, is a woman, yes, but why should that even matter? Why can't people just call Palin what she is: unqualified. She just happens to be female is all. Frankly, if I were a woman I'd want her to give up and step down, lest she do my gender harm. You know, because in America who you appear to be means more than who you really are. Palin is, of course, a woman first, and a crazy person second. If I were on television I'd be called a "liberal" and that would be who I am, nevermind the fact I am much further left than Obama or Biden. It's because of this there was the venom-laced comment from Palin during Thursday's debate that her political rivals are the two most liberal people in the Senate. It was delivered so cheerily and with such an acerbic fashion that she reminded me of women who are in hate groups. If you've never seen one, they can deliver the most foul rhetoric imaginable with a bubby demeanor. Of course I know what she means by "liberal." To the right it's basically a code word for "fag." Oh, but Palin said she was "tolerant" during the debate. I must be wrong.
Speaking of the debate, I noticed something wrong with Palin's voice at times. It seemed to waver occasionally, which makes me suspect she was extremely nervous; I notice I tend to do the same thing when speaking to a crowd. Analysts have also said that she said nothing really of substance; most of her answers ignored the questions in favor of parroting tired Republican Party lines, and I agree. By my standards she clearly lost, and Biden clearly won. (Some critics said Biden was boring; I humbly request those critics go fuck themselves.) Palin did what she had to do, though, and in my opinion it wasn't half bad; she clearly made Pat Buchanan happy, and really, that's all that was expected from her. Of course, many people said the debate was a tie. I'm assuming either those people didn't watch the debate, or were pleasantly surprised Palin didn't bust out crying. The soft bigotry of low expectations indeed.
I don't know the real Sarah Palin, and to be quite honest I don't think I want to. She scares me. I am saddened by how she managed to rise to the level she did and invite the kind of scrutiny that entails. I am inconsolable because there are plenty of people out there who share her views. I'm sure if I were to watch other congressmen and women more closely I would find some who are even worse, and have the same capacity for coming up with a single, original thought (i.e. none). It is intensely disheartening to continually see the values which you hold so dear ignored in favor of a sexy façade, and Palin now stands as the best example of this. She is the Paris Hilton of politics. I hope the Republicans lose and lose hard this November; I don't know how much more discouragement I can withstand. Maybe by the time the election rolls around I'll have lost my mind and decide to vote McCain in the sadistic hope that his winning would bring about an apocalypse, and that while my flesh melts I can have the perverse satisfaction that all people are experiencing the same misery.
On the plus side many polls do show Obama in the lead and fivethirtyeight.com says that he has an 87.4% chance of winning. Hell, one of my coworkers decided to register to vote, even though until about a week earlier said that voting changed nothing. I do not expect miracles out of Obama, but I sure could breathe a bit more easily if he were President.
In short, I fucking hate Sarah Palin and everything she stands for. And McCain is a liar. And Republicans are doody heads. And Democrats are like 700 billion, durr! Apologies for the terse closing, but right now I need to look at terrifying pornography of Pokémon shitting on each other. At least that makes some goddamn sense. |

I present to you a public discussion on a forum I frequent. Please read to the end as the last post by Coach is Internet gold. Notice how I (KMK) try to be as inoffensive as possible, state my opinions, and back them up in a way that even folks opposed to me might see things my way. Both sane persons take issue with my opposition to flat taxes, but Sane Person #1 said how government subsidy of business should stop, and Sane Person #2 may well feel the same way, and I can't argue with that.
I love arguing politics, by the way. Though I make that really obvious, huh?
----------
From: Kristofer Kurtis
I dunno [about abolishing income tax]. It behooves me to pay for certain things the government provides, like education for future doctors who I might rely on for my health; the roads I drive on, protection from crime and property by the police and fire departments; social programs such as unemployment and single-payer health care which help to eliminate indigence which in turn helps curb crime; regulations that prevent the water I drink, the food I eat, and the air I breathe from giving me diseases; I could go on.
Dropping bombs on folks with which I have no quarrel, not so much.
Flat taxes are unfair. If I make more than someone else, I should pay more taxes because I generally benefit more from what the government provides.
KMK

From: Coach
Interesting that you have no quarrel with certain people... What if they have a quarrel with you? What if they support, organize, train, pay for, provide PR for, etc. a group of people who have attacked a bunch of folks in New York, Washington D.C., and Boston?
Oh wait, I guess we don't need to worry about helping out a bunch of Damn Yankees... What was I thinkin?
----------
From: Sane Person #1
There is a reason they have a quarrel with us. Maybe we are doing something to provoke them. The biggest problem we have with current “leadership” (I use the term loosely) is that they refuse to talk to them and ask why they are so pissed?
----------
From: Sane Person #2
Wait, are we talking about Iraq? They had a quarrel with us? I don’t remember that…
----------
From: Coach
They were funding multiple terror organizations who had killed hundreds of _AMERICAN_ citizens (Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc.) Moreover, they were training and providing staging areas to al Qaida (they even had a training facility just outside of Bagdad with an airliner fuselage for training terrorists how to commandeer an aircraft – there is evidence that some of the 19 hijackers from 9/11 spent several weeks there about a year before 9/11, but there is no "concrete" evidence that they were actually at the camp... Hmmm, I wonder why they didn't document that?)
They had an entire arm of al Qaida in northern Iraq, fighting against the Kurds (on behalf of Saddam, but not "directly" allied with him... Hmmm, I wonder if there was actually a "link" between the two...)
It's funny that people buy into the media hype that we had no quarrel with Iraq. Even if you forget that they were supporting terrorists, it is impossible to argue that they weren't violating the cease-fire treaty from the first war (for something like 11 years), constantly shooting at US (and allied) aircraft in the proscribed ("no-fly") zones – planes that by their own agreement were allowed to patrol in those areas – and that they were denying weapons inspectors access to sensitive areas inside of Iraq (again, contrary to their own agreement). You'd also be very hard-pressed to deny that Saddam and his boys (and sundry other Iraqi officials) were anything less than murderers and thugs, and a horrible danger to all that _you_ hold dear (human rights, quality of life, etc.). Do you _really_ feel like arguing that the world is worse off for his departure? Do you really (honestly?) believe that the _current_ situation in Iraq is worse than it was under a brutal dictatorship? I wonder how many Iraqis would agree with you.
The Iraq war has been nothing short of a miraculous military and political victory – in every way you can measure it. From the lens of history, it will go down as one of the most one-sided, humanitarian, hopeful things ever accomplished in human history. We eliminated a threat to the country, region, and entire world. We brought democratic process and individual freedom to an area that had never know it. And we did it without losing millions of lives (unless you count the millions Saddam killed before we acted). Sure there were plenty of errors and failures. And certainly our understandings of what would happen and what did happen were pretty wildly different... But I _DEFY_ you to show me another instance in history where _better_ predictions were made with less loss and a greater outcome.

This is one of the reasons I'm not particularly fond of the democratic party... I knew something like it would happen, but y'know:
http://senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00181
Only 13 senators voted to stop the insanity... way to go, Senate. Interestingly, military recruiters are also now accepting 42-year-olds... I'm sorry, but anyone who still believes Iraq is helping us with this nebulous "war on terror" Our Beloved Cokehead keeps mumbling about needs a serious reality check. Thom Hartmann said that this thing in Iraq should be called an occupation, not a war. After all, the war was won when Sock Job put on his fancy suit and declared "Mission Accomplished," plus Americans don't like to lose or draw wars, even if they're complete bullshit.
If anything this vote tells us, however, is which democrats need to get their asses kicked the next primary/election that proves viable. If there will ever be such a thing. |

Turns out the NSA is looking at online social networks-- MySpace is mentioned explicitly-- to find terrorists! You know, because of 9/11. And liberty. Then they take your Myspace info and cross-reference it to your phone call list, visits to hot-military-studs.com, the TV shows you watch, the stuff you buy at the store, your property transactions, et cetera, and then they'll use all this information they found about you and build a massive database containing all trackable information they can get their mitts on, linked together in such a way that they can glean from it any information they want. Small government? Bullshit.

| Low unemployment? |
[May. 10th, 2006|04:56 pm] |
There was an interesting discussion on Electronic Arts and their treatment of employees, and the topic of unemployment came up. Someone said unemployment in America was only 4.5%, which-- good citizen that I am-- I don't believe in the least. So I went to the heart of the beast ( http://www.bls.gov ) and crunched their own numbers. Turns out America has more like 8.3% unemployment, and I'm sure that statistic is way conservative (I've heard things like 10.5% a few years back). So here we go:
(As of April 2006)
143,688,000 employed +
7,123,000 unemployed =
150,811,000 labor force
= 4.7% unemployment rate (which agrees with their statistical data)
For December 2000, this number was 3.9%.
Okay, that's fine and dandy. But... there are some other groups that aren't counted, or are counted but shouldn't be, like:
3,978,000 who work part time (1-34 hours/week) for "economic reasons."
Note you only need to work ONE HOUR A WEEK to fit in this category. Also, these people (as I understand it) would prefer having a full-time job. They are counted as employed when they realistically shouldn't be.
381,000 "discouraged workers"
These are persons who want a job and believe no job is available and thus have given up looking for work. Why the hell aren't these people counted as part of the labor force?
1,310,000 "marginally attached to labor force."
These are people who are searching for work and there are jobs available for them. Again, they are not counted as part of the labor force for some reason.
So let's crunch these new numbers...
143,688,000 employed +
7,123,000 unemployed +
381,000 "discouraged workers" +
1,310,000 "marginally attached" =
152,502,000 true labor force
143,688,000 employed -
3,978,000 unwilling part-time workers =
139,710,000 fully employed
= 8.3% unemployment rate
In December 2000, this number was 6.2%.
And keep in mind I used official statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and only the information from one table. There may very well be many more people not counted in the labor force when they should be or people counted as employed when they shouldn't be, etc. Whether or not you believe their own official statistics is up to you. |

| | The Mike Malloy Show, duh! | ] |
I was listening to Air America, particularly some discussion over immigration, and something hit me like a brick in the face. People-- liberals-- were rationalizing racism. Granted these people are struggling just to make ends meet, but they decided that immigrants are a threat to their well-being... which... no. It just isn't. Anyhow, the issue of immigration is such a handy one for Republicans and other shitheads-- it's dividing rational people's attention and bringing out the worst in us. So this is what I wrote to Mike Malloy in response:
Mike, I hate to flog a dead horse, but I completely agree with you on this immigration subject, and I too am going insane listening to people who miss the larger issue and frankly should know better. Isn’t it true that at one point in American history poor whites were paranoid, thinking brown people took their jobs, raped their daughters, and committed whatever made up offense a person could conceive? Weren’t there laws that prevented poor, brown people from voting? Wasn’t there a time where it was allowable to be openly racist and hateful? We are living in the Southern Reconstruction, Mike. I wonder how long it will be until we will see Arabs and Mexicans hanging from trees… oh wait, this time we have Guantanamo. Apparently we haven’t learned our lesson… we’re still blaming the victims. Continuing our assault on those who are simply struggling to make a living just makes victims of us all. Just look at what this fear and hatred of terrorists, gays, and immigrants has got us these past five years…
Sincerely and worriedly,

You'll want to check this out if you think nuking Iran is a bad idea:
http://political.moveon.org/dontnukeiran/
Here's what I wrote for my personal message, feel free to steal it or parts if you wish:
"Any attack made against Iran is terrible, short-sighted policy, but a nuclear attack would be the beginning of the end. There is no way to win a nuclear war-- this was made clear during the Bay of Pigs. Dropping nukes is not courageous as George Bush might say... It is a sign of desperation and weakness, and opens the window for reciprocation. The United States already has other nations on edge-- the last thing we should do is to commit such an atrocity and have others perceive us as a rogue nation. Diplomacy is the best way-- the only way-- to handle Iran, and I urge you to stand against any nuclear option."
I think I might send them some actual hand-written mail to show I am not fucking around on this subject. I think I might phone them up when they're back in session too. |

This is bad. This is so very bad. The government is actually considering dropping nuclear bombs in Iran. The scariest thing in there is that Bush is thinking he's "messianic" for doing so. People are resigning or considering resigning over this madness. What the fuck are these people thinking? "Hey, let's make America the rogue nation by committing a monster atrocity, and then everyone will join together in a war against us!"

What They Don't Want You to Know
In order to understand Higg's Laws of Convergence you need to realize that everything is controlled by a Morris County Book Club cabal made up of gay blacks with help from emigrant ninjas.
The conspiracy first started during '67 World's Fair in Max's Kansas City. They have been responsible for many events throughout history, including the last episode of "Blossom".
Today, members of the conspiracy are everywhere. They can be identified by falling asleep on park benches.
They want to furiously backhand Pro Life People For Death and imprison resisters in New Jersey using telekenesis.
In order to prepare for this, we all must take off one's pants. Since the media is controlled by ecoterrorists we should get our information from the guy at the zoo who likes animals too much.

Looks like John Kerry is looking for Americans to support a filibuster against Alito's confirmation, and right when I heard of it I went to http://www.johnkerry.com and signed the petition right away. Alito is scum and shouldn't be town dogcatcher, much less Chief Justice of the United States. In one of his rulings he said it was okay for police to stripsearch a ten year old girl without a warrant. He was either part of a racist, misogynist organization or lied that he was to get a job. The American Bar Association said the guy was crap. Oh, but he looks like a boy scout and his wife cried, so I guess he's right for the job. My mistake. Anyhow, here's what I wrote for the little response box on Kerry's site:
Alito is a dangerous choice for our democracy with his idea of a "unitary executive" and his willingness to say anything to get a job and be close to powerful people. We as Americans must resist his confirmation.
This guy is bad news. |
