I will be guest blogging for the next two weeks over at Feministe, and will not be posting additional original content here during that interval. I will, however, post teaser excerpts and links to my Feministe posts here. So come on over to Feministe and join the fucking fun! w00t!!!!!

What’s the fucking dealio with Obama? He has been selling himself as a different kind of politician, as someone who stands on principle. Well, he has recently been careening sharply to the right on a number of issues that are really fucking important to me: the motherfucking United States Constitution and women’s right to control their own motherfucking bodies, inter alia. Is Obama getting the usual bullshit advice from despicable Village “political consultants” in the vein of the truly heinous Lanny Davis? Does he really believe in the wackaloon authoritarian theocratic fuckwittery he is espousing?

Field Negro tipped me off to the latest fake-ass hullabaloo over some dumb-fuck “patriotism” bullshit that Obama has “taken a position on”. Apparently a black singer who was selected to sing the national anthem at some cheesy fucking mayor’s event in Colorado switched the words to something known as the black national anthem. And just like night follows day, sick-fuck slimeball right-wing sleazebags were all over it like flies on shit, as evidence that all black people totally hate America and are subversive internal fifth columnists. But that is as expected, nothing remarkable, and not why we’re here.

Friend, colleague, and all-around motherfucking cool dude DrugMonkey has the following to say about an expected leftward shift in the ranks of the sycophantic wackaloon douchecornet pundit class:

now that we are exiting the era of idiot milquetoast pseudo left punching bags as “balance” on the right wing wackaloon punditard teevee shows, the question arises. who shall become the idiot milquetoast pseudo right punching bag for the soon-to-come left wing wackaloon punditard shows?

candidates?

I’m not really seeing any evidence of a genuine leftward shift in the character of our morally depraved intellectually decrepit mainstream pundit-laden media. What the fuck is DrugMonkey talking about?

Commenter Terry had the following to say about news reports that Barack Obama is sucking religious wackaloon dick:

You know, it would really be great if a true liberal presidential candidate were available, one that would say, “Fuck You!” to the press, to the republicans, to the believers in some daddy sky fairy that will save them all by destroying the world.

I am out of pocket for a couple weeks attending to academic/scientific responsibilities that will interfere with fucking blogging. Consider this an open thread to rant and rave among yourselves. As incentive for awesome ranting, I will select some comments for elevation to posts of their own!

Peace, motherfuckers!

I have had it up to here with Democrats falling for fake-ass “former Clinton supporters” talking about how Obama is a terrorist or some such batshit fucking wackaloonery, and concluding that the Democratic Party is “fracturing”, or some such bullshit. Hello, people!!!!!! This is textbook right-wing ratfuckery!!!! Try not to be such motherfucking rubes!

HTH. HAND.

Mike the Mad Biologist unfortunately directed my attention to Maureen Dowd’s column today, which includes this passage:

Conservatives love playing this little game, acting as if the “elite” Democratic candidates are not in touch with people like themselves, even though the guys doing the attacking — like Rove, Limbaugh, O’Reilly and Hannity — are wealthy and cosseted. Haven’t we had enough of this hypocritical comedy of people in the elite disowning their social status for political purposes?

George Carlin Is Dead

June 23, 2008

It is sad news that George Carlin has died. His mordant wit, disdain for bullshit, and penetrating insight into social and political wackaloonery have been an inspiration to many. Of course, he would have mocked the shit out of anyone who melodramatically mourned his passing.

Some of his best work pierced the conceits and deflated the overweening self-centeredness of those who mourn the deaths of public figures they never even met. He would be disgusted if his own death were subject to the kind of arrogant starfucking me! me! me! fake-ass public self-aggrandizing “mourning” garbaggio that Tim Russert’s death inspired.

Adios motherfucker!!
