Hello?
Hello? Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
I haven't even looked at this website in god knows how long. I probably won't again for another really, really long time. If you are curious as to my whereabouts and or goings-on, then look me up on the Facebook (That would be here: http://www.facebook.com/argyleroxmysox)
Maybe I'll be back to check on this again sometime.
Maybe not.
10-4, good buddies.
F*ck You!
Upcoming release from Cee-Lo Green (a.k.a. half of Gnarls Barkley)... Clever, cathartic and CATCHY! (Oh, btw, pretty much NSFW.)
Heh heh heh
Three statisticians go duck hunting.
After flushing out a duck, the first statistician fires and misses, his shot passing a foot above the bird.
The second statistician fires, missing by a foot beneath.
The third one jumps up and down, shouting "We hit it! We hit it!"
The only thing we have to fear...
"What seemed to me most deplorable was not the fact that so many people feared the strength of the Roman Catholic Church; it was that they had no faith in the strength of their own way of life and their own Constitution."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt (John Kennedy, and the Election of 1960: A Project of The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers)
(Historical context, even though I'm entirely sure that you all know it: Opponents of J.F.K. claimed that as a Catholic, he would allow his supposed allegiance to the Pope and the Vatican to trump his presidential oaths of office. At least, that's a saner and sanitized version of their accusations.)
I stumbled across the above quote in an article on Huffington Post. Strategically replace the words "Roman Catholic Church" and it rings truer still for today.
What seemed to me most deplorable was not the fact that so many people feared the strength of gay rights activists...
What seemed to me most deplorable was not the fact that so many people feared the strength of Islam...
What seemed to me most deplorable was not the fact that so many people feared the strength of European Socialism...
What seemed to me most deplorable was not the fact that so many people feared the strength of the Tea Party...
What seemed to me most deplorable was not the fact that so many people feared the strength of Sarah Palin...
That's all. No preachiness. Just something to think about.
my contribution to the vuvuzela meme:
my solution
Here's a new solution for you, BP: Send a cyborg Arnold Schwarzenegger back in time to off Dick Cheney before his Energy "Task Force" rewrote all the rules on drilling offshore. While he's back there, maybe he could take the time to stuff Sarah Palin's mouth full of golf balls and shredded tires, too.
It's time the oil industry did something about their irresponsible unleashing on the American public of a gaping hole gushing seemingly endless amounts of toxic sludge...
And after they've shut Sarah Palin up, maybe they can finally plug that oil leak thing.
Why self-proclaimed Libertarians, Tea Partiers and "modern conservatives" are all evil hypocrites
This is a comment I wrote that's now buried somewhere in a thread on my facebook profile, posting it here for the 2.5 people who actually read this journal of mine anymore or something.

Not to resort to the arguments of a 1st grader, but "they started it". I honestly don't have problems with ad hominem attacks against the Tea Party movement (lower-case, lest I legitimize their pathologically insane rhetoric,) since they HAVE no credible leadership, even fewer credible arguments, and the people who set themselves up claiming to BE leaders of this movement are nonsensical, fantastical liars at best (Sarah Palin) and at worst are vile, bigoted a*****es who, lacking the ability to form coherent sentences, resort to sound effects, animal noises, and comparing people to Adolph Hitler. (That's Glenn Beck I'm referring to, lest that description not be enough to guess.) Don't even get me started on Ron & Rand Paul.... They'll go the way of Ross Perot once they start taking their anti-psychotics again, hopefully. You can't argue with people who don't have a credible argument to begin with, except that for some reason, they think they deserve to be in America more than other people.
This movement is, with very few exceptions, composed of lower-to-middle class white people, who woke up one day after a 50 year sea-change where the country was dragged IMMENSELY to the right of center, and for some bizarre reason all of a sudden felt disenfranchised because they still don't have MORE rights than their neighbors. They have blatantly ripped off tactics from Joe McCarthy, claiming that anybody who opposes them is an un-Amurrrrkin Namby Pamby Pinko Gay-Married Liberal Soft-on-Terror Totalitarian Dictator Socialist who wants to abort your 3rd trimester babies forcibly after they Kevorkian your grandparents. They have no plans to better things, and are just acting out of a reactionary impulse to destroy anything threatening their views of guns, gays and god.
They think that the government should stay out of the way of business, so that our economy remains competitive, yet they don't think that businesses should be regulated or held liable when they produce major, major f**kups, the government shouldn't force them to bear the consequences.... That some unnamed, magical reserve of money and technical wizardry exists somewhere to swoop in and save the day. Failing that, they'll scream and yell that the federal government which they have crippled (and which now isn't protected by the Americans With Disabilities Act, since they want that repealed, too,) has to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW BEFORE WE GET OUT OUR PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES!1!!1!!!1
On top of all that, the most BAFFLING thing of all is that for some reason, most of them still idolize Bush II and Reagan, despite their immensely out-of-control federal spending and curtailing of individual rights, and their inability to pronounce key words of the English language (despite their demands for English to be the official language, since they're incapable of learning a second one in addition to the first one, upon which they have a tenuous grasp at very best.)
In conclusion: It is impossible to engage in true argument and debate with ignorant bigots who do not HAVE any arguments themselves, beyond playground-level name-calling and a 400 year old tradition of good old-fashioned Amurrrrrkin witch-hunting. If they want their island, and on the off-handed chance that there is a speck of sand of wisdom washing around in their ocean of ridiculous and mean-spirited rhetoric, then maybe they can all go live on Brave New World's archipelago, and stop wildly accusing decent people of being evil Nazis, welfare queens, evil child-molesting pervert homos, or worst of all (inexplicably, since they're "not racist at all," and "have lots of black and latino friends,") in their book: brown-skinned.
Do it. I dare you.
PS: I'm starting a new meme. Help me make it go viral. Describe something in blatantly unflattering terms and tag it with the comparison "you know, just like Sarah Palin does sometimes." I'll go first:
I just went outside to feed the horse, who was whinnying loudly and obnoxiously, you know, just like Sarah Palin does sometimes.
Palin takes on Maddow.... but why?
Of all the available targets in the public sphere today, why exactly do you think Palin decided to make fun of Rachel Maddow?
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Maddow has a clear point of view, without being an ideologue (like Keith Olbermann) or a paranoid-schizophrenic (like Glenn Beck,) so Palin takes a cheap shot at her appearance since Maddow is very obviously nothing more to her and her base (and I do mean BASE,) audience than a raging veiny-necked bulldyke.
Brava, Rachel, for always comporting yourself with good humor, great dignity and grace, and good common sense. You are an admirable role model not only to the LGBTQ community, but to American society as a whole. Oh, and f**k you, Sarah Palin. With a chainsaw.
AMAZING!!!

RED CUP ACTIVATED!
Beer: WIN... Spellcheck: FAIL
I spotted my first Cake Wreck @ the grocery...
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be The Grinch, or if it's Oscar The Grouch with a plastic Santa hat glued to his forehead.
There will be an answer, let it be...
