We saw V for Vendetta last night. While I enjoyed the heck out of it, I gotta say some of the minor character subplots held more interest. Not that that's a bad thing, but it's odd to find a movie anymore where you flesh out your main characters with the experiences of others anymore. Guess we're just used to the crap Hollywood spews out normally. In any case, as you might imagine, the movie has many similarities with the rise of a certain band of pseudo-Christo-fascists you may have heard me ranting about.
Oh, let's see what our real-life villians are up to. Barbara Bush, after insulting Katrina victims to their faces, is now giving some aid to them. Oh wait, she's not. She's donating money to a software company run by her boy (and former savings and loan bandit) Neil.
Meanwhile, someone needs to help these folks get some more crawfish.
Another of her boys, The Moron Known As George, is in the works of giving the Chinese the job of inspecting our incoming shipping cargo for nuclear weapons. This after trying to give our port security away to a country with terrorist ties. Seriously, what the hell do these people think they're doing?
Newly on the radar racist hatemonger Vernon Robinson, running for Senate in North Carolina (I linked his psycho ad awhile back), has decided to not just decline a Planned Parenthood endorsement (seriously, what the hell were they thinking?), he decided to viciously insult them as well.
I missed this somehow, but apparently Bush's arbitrary ability to blow things up in Jesus' name is now called "The Long War." I defer you to the Colbert Report (video) for further information.
Hey, remember when duct tape and plastic sheeting could stop a biological attack? Now, the Department of Health and Human Services has proposed that buying large quantities of canned tuna will stop an avian flu outbreak. Hell, don't take my word for it, read the link.
Bush is in desperate need of someone to follow his lead. Too bad the only world leader to do so is Kim Jong Il, whose government recently said that they too would like to institute the idea of pre-emptive war, namely with us, and preferably with nukes. Thanks again George.
Speaking of other Axil of Evil finalists, FAUXNews is already reporting that we are at war with Iran. Geez, you guys and the Bushites just cut the State and Defense departments out of all the planning anymore, don't ya?
Conservatives in the wild. Cheney has an anal-retentive list of demands every time he has to stay in a hotel. Texas is pro-actively arresting drunk people while they are still in the bar. Exxon is goading and cheerleading the IRS to audit groups like Greenpeace. The worst part? The coercion works and audits do happen. Conservatives are putting the pedal to the metal to buy up lands recently released for sale by Bushites in the US Forest Service, obstensibly to clear-cut the land and plop monster homes on them. Hug a tree folks, because if these folks don't get run out of office, you'll have to show your kids pictures of what one looked like.
Meanwhile in Illinois, Gov. Blagojevich is pushing for universal preschool for every child in the state. So, as Republicans rape the land, destroy civil rights, endorse racism, and generally sell our country's legacy to our enemies, Democrats are trying to educate small children, amongst other things. Why the hell are the hatemongers in charge?
