More Bully Pulpit, Please.

I fucked up again. Lesson learned: political arguments placed in comment feeds on Facebook hurt my brain. Of all the construed bad things my kids are going to hear in their lifetime, a little bully pulpit from the president isn't a concern. I wonder what the kids would get out of it? Hopefully I'll remember to ask when some political memo goes out getting people to talk about nonsense when we've got bigger & better things to worry about. Like war, economic instability, religious pedophiles, narcissistic celebrities and teenage mirroring, narcissistic celebrities and lemming mirroring, or ... war.

For the record, here is the transcript of his speech. For the brain stems: you have scroll down before the transcript starts. Reading the page should help guide you to the transcript. A "transcript" is written words of what someone said. In this case, the president. Please go away if I've lost you.

After looking over the reports & quotes of people that didn't like what the tall, skinny black guy had to say I realized we're either operating out of fear, or not fear.

Fear (from cnn.com):

"Thinking about my kids in school having to listen to that just really upsets me," suburban Colorado mother Shanneen Barron told CNN Denver affiliate KMGH. "I'm an American. They are Americans, and I don't feel that's OK. I feel very scared to be in this country with our leadership right now."

Scared? In fear?

From Google.com:

"As far as I am concerned, this is not civics education — it gives the appearance of creating a cult of personality," said Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Steve Russell. "This is something you'd expect to see in North Korea or in Saddam Hussein's Iraq."

Fearful places, no?

From the Seattle Times:

Neal McCluskey, associate director of the Center for Educational Freedom at the conservative Cato Institute, said the lesson plans accompanying the speech are "troubling." "Reasonable people can disagree" about Obama's policies, he said. "But they don't want their kids to be indoctrinated. This is potentially a tool of indoctrination."

Fear the indoctrination!

The transcript is there. And black guys have huge dicks. If Obama keeps getting to speak, American women are going to want him, and guys that are just like him. Black guys. Then my wife is going to leave me for a black guy ... and then what?!? My little white dick doesn't stand a chance!

Tender feelings

Sometimes you just can’t win. I was completely capable of driving last night, I am even saying that now in the day light hours so it was not a poor judgment thing…anyway, my friend was pretty sauced up and was convinced that I was not good to drive. This is the point where I got repeatedly bludgeoned with one of those hammers that you use to tenderize meat with until I gave in and turned my car keys over. Well fuck, what’s a man to do at this point? That’s right; he kills the pain with several consecutive shots of whiskey. Now I have a wicked hang over and the sting is twice as bad because several areas of my body are covered with bruises all because I was trying NOT to drink too much. The moral of this story…don’t ever attempt to take it easy and be responsible so that you can drive home. It is a giant waste of time and you are going to wake up feeling twice as shitty anyway so you should never plan on being a pussy for a night. God will hate you and so will your friends.

OUCH - sorry ashole

Hamburger Face

No more trying to play cool on my bike after I've had a few. Went over the handle bars and broke the fall with my face. Knocked myself completely unconscious in the middle of the street. An ambulance came. I think my pride hurts the most.

it's the final countdown

i'm doing purge of authors on this blog.

so here's the deal: today is (almost) august 21st. if you haven't posted by september 13th, you will be removed as an author from this hatred revolution. and then i'm going to start signing your name to every homophobic, racist, sexist thing i can think of.
