Rush Limbaugh's a dick

It really, really is cynicism, paranoia and crassness built into some horrible marketing and advertising mechanism that works way better than I wish it would. I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say. Words are filling in my head faster than I can type them in a way that makes any sense at all.

It's just a dark, ugly, nasty and shameless way to make a living; spewing a message that is in no way altruistic, principled or based upon anything than taking advantage of the most naive and gullible amongst us. As has been pointed out before, it's a lot like what televangilists and infomercials do. It burns my rear end like loving napalm to listen to these opportunistic creeps advocate the suspension of habeas corpus, wrap themselves in the American flag and claim to love the constitution and the bible while willfully ignoring at least half of both of them because it's sticky, inconvenient and bad for business.

Also, what McDowell said. The conservative persecution complex has no loving limits. They openly advocated for fascism for 8 loving years under Bush and the second a democrat was elected they suddenly decided to worry about their freedom. I'm sorry about the word salad. I feel like I'm posting like Sarah Palin. It's just that the anger I experience listening to these assholes, and realizing how many people take them seriously, leaves me wondering where to start with it all.

We don't even know who did this bombing, or why and we're just beginning to figure out how. It sickens me to the core of my stomach to know that that fat loving jackass is actually deep down happy about it while claiming to be a patriot. Rush Limbaugh gives a rats rear end who bombed Boston or why.

If it makes you feel any better (no reason why it should, I know), I feel this way pretty much all the time now. And to make matters worse, the right isn't even skewering Obama for the things they should be, like this:

Obama Signs Partial Repeal of STOCK Act
Tweet
Email email

By Steven T. Dennis
Roll Call Staff
April 15, 2013, 4:44 p.m.

President Barack Obama signed a partial repeal of the STOCK Act on Monday, with the White House citing national security concerns in canceling a planned online database of investment information of top congressional staffers and administration employees.

“Both houses of Congress passed this bill unanimously and it was not done in a vacuum,” Press Secretary Jay Carney said. “Congress changed the online posting provision only after a panel of experts from the National Academy of Public Administration studied this issue and issued a report recommending indefinite suspension,” raising national security, law enforcement and personal security concerns.

However, advocates of the legislation — notably Public Citizen and the Sunlight Foundation — had ripped both the repeal of the online database as a blow to accountability and the way it was passed without debate in either the House or the Senate.

While some of the information will still be available to the public, people will have a much more difficult time accessing it without a searchable online database.

Public Citizen had urged a veto, but on April 12 the Justice Department said in a related court filing that the president would sign the bill.

Their reasoning for the repeal is "cyber criminals might cause problems" what problems could a cyber criminal cause? As long as they are obeying the law and not insider trading I fail to see how there would be problems with them publicly disclosing their financials. What could a cyber criminal do by knowing you're paying 3% on your mortgage?

I see that there.

I'm so loving sick of media assholes saying that 'this is the story the media doesn't want you to hear.' Fox News is the loving media, Rush Limbaugh is the loving media.

I think everyone should check out 'Hobo with a Shotgun'; I think it started when the horror of Sandy Hook got mucked up with MY GUNS, but the past couple days there have shown there is no limit now - it's like the Drake and his 'quality entertainment'.

I love when anchors on Fox News spout some of that "LIBERAL MEDIA" crap and then not ten seconds later they play one of their clips that says something to the tune of "Fox News: The biggest name in cable news". Really, guys? Honestly and for real?

Glenn Beck's gold line shilling has taken an interesting turn since the bubble started crashing. Now it's all about how speculating isn't the point and he's storing up physical gold to hand down to his children just in case. He basically sounds like bitcoin enthusiasts sounded when their bubble crashed. It's pretty amusing.

One of my favorite explanations for why you should buy gold is as an investment for if/when poo poo hit the fan. Apparently those holding gold would be the backbone of a post-apocalyptic nuclear holocaust America. Those with food, water, and fuel would gladly trade said limited resources for some shiny lumps of metal.
