Music for a Sunday: Won’t go living in the past…

…but I believe that love can last:

There’s a lot to love about this song, which is my favorite of theirs. They have a lot of ones that are more overtly raunchy, or more overtly rough-and-tumble. This one stands out for its sense of restraint. It’s sexy and badass in a sunny, laid-back, off-beat, absolutely note-perfect way. See if it doesn’t have you from hello, too.

Wankers of the Week: Spring wingnuts edition

Ah, spring…wingnuts in full bloom. I don’t know who those women in the video are, but the one in yellow (how fitting!) has obviously disguised herself. And no wonder: she’s uttering death threats. Crude, cowardly, nasty death threats. Death by torture, no less. See how sad it is when you stand for nothing and fall for anything? You have to disguise your identity so your embarrassing mistake doesn’t come back to haunt you…like, say, at a job interview.

Anyhow. On with the weekly wankapedia. Most of these wingnuts do have names, and I hope their shame haunts them for as long as they live.

1. and 2. Preston Fucking Manning and Allan Fucking Gregg. Whenever a conservative politician teams up with a conservative pollster, look for wankage to ensue. And in this case, it’s the founding fucker of the “Reform” party looking to social-engineer with a little help from his SupposiTory pollster pal. Won’t work; Canada is a LEFT-leaning country, and has been for decades. Go figure, we like what progress has given us, and we do not think the age of the US robber barons is anything worth calling “golden”!

3. Haley Fucking Barbour. Last week it was Bob Fucking McDonnell, denying the importance of slavery in a month devoted to the history of a confederacy whose sole reason for existence was, well, you guessed it. Don’t any of these proud southern governors know their own history? Or is there some kind of active obscurantist agenda going on? (I know which option I’m voting for.)

4. Carl Fucking Paladino. Surprise! Teabaggers who “agree 100% with conservative values” are bestial, porn-wanking racists. Well, all right, NOT a surprise in the slightest. And neither will this one’s political losses be. They just can’t come soon enough!

5. Giacomo Fucking Babini. Once more the ugly old “Christ-killer” meme rears its warty head. Yeah, smooth move…when it comes to pedophiles and other sexual abusers in the Catholic church, just blame the “Zionist conspiracy” of the Jews!

6. Felipe Fucking Arizmendi. Smoother move: Blame porn and the TV.

7. Bernardo Fucking Alvarez. Even smoother move: Blame the slutty kids.

8. Tarcisio Fucking Bertone. Smoothest move of all: Blame the fags!

9. The Fucking Vatican. Ringo Starr doesn’t give a piss for its “absolution”. And in light of all the sex scandals (and blame-gaming), who can fault him for that?

10. Don Fucking Blankenship. Yes, His Wankenship is back for the second week in a row. Why? Because he not only disdains safety regs, he also thinks environmental concerns around global warming are, and I quote, “silly”. Even funnier, he’s scared to death of little green people–get that man a straitjacket! Not that we expected anything different from a lunatic swinebag who made his ill-gotten bundle from coal, but still. Crazy people have no business running a business, don’t you agree?

11. Sonny Fucking Thomas. I do not think the words the Bee Gees used mean what he thinks they mean. Or what he later claimed was just a malign coincidence. Also, that White Pride shirt makes him look like…well, like he just made poopy in his pants. PS: Sorry, Sonny, but what has been seen cannot be unseen.

12. and 13. Mary Fucking Dawson and Gail Fucking Shea. Are they in bed together? If not, why so hush-hush?

14. Sarah Fucking Palin. So fucking stupid, even 60% of the teabags don’t want her for president. And these are people dumb enough to take Wankenship’s money for their rallies. That’s pretty damn pathetic, no?

15., 16. and 17. Gary Fucking Lunn, Judith Fucking Larocque and Ward Fucking Elcock. So, this is what the Tories did during their three-month vacation prorogation of Parliament. They spent our money like drunken sailors on luxurious Olympic perks, just as we knew they would. Hey people, you planning on paying any of that back? Because the rest of the country is certainly planning on getting it back.

18. Stephen Fucking Jaeger. Facebook stalkers aren’t just a joke anymore. Some, like this one, are all too real.

19. Rod Fucking Bruinooge. Yes, he’s back on the wank-list, and back for another black eye from me. Rod, unless you also include coerced childbirth (which is way more common than coerced abortion) in your bill, you can kiss that motherfucker GOODBYE! (And your ass, too, while you’re at it. Bend over, dude.)

20. Whoever the fuck joined this dumb-ass Facebook group. Or who would contemplate joining. Rape is NOT fun. And not funny, either.

21. Joe Fucking Lieberman. Someone please tell him that the Paliness is irrelevant. Even the teabags don’t think she’s qualified to be president of a pop stand, much less a country. Come to think of it, neither is he…and he’s irrelevant, too. Hey, how ’bout that coinkidink?

22. Andrew Fucking Breitbart. I have no idea what he’s trying to say. But it sure sounds ugly, and nasty, and like he’s calling for an uprising. Also like he’s trying hard not to hiccup or slur. If only he would try hard to think instead of drink, he might a
ctually find he has something real to say…and it would probably come out sounding something like, “Damn, was I really THAT stupid when I was drinking?” And all his AA buddies would say something like “Yes…yes, you were. And you’re damn lucky they didn’t arrest you for it.”

23. and 24. Charles and David Fucking Koch. Their money finances teabaggers and “libertarian” (note the quotes) stink tanks so they can claim that Obama is the next Castro, Stalin and Mao all wadded up into one. Yup, that’s wingnut welfare; wealth redistribution at its “finest” (again, note quotes). But wait, it gets better. Know how the Fucking Koch Brothers came by the inherited fortune that finances all this crapitalist claptrap? Their grandpa sold oil to good ol’ Joe Stalin himself. Guess it’s not communism when crapitalists do it!

25. Faytene Fucking Kryskow. Until today, I had never heard of her. Wish I still hadn’t. She’s an awful, sticky-sweet God-botherer who has ambitions of “controlling the media”, and expects us all (especially us women) to stick our necks in the noose in Jeezus’ name. Yuppers, she’s a yucko. But damn, doesn’t her name just so lend itself to jokes about hair-care products made from hydrogenated cottonseed oil?

26. Nathanael Mark Fucking Plourde. Bad enough that he plotted to kill a woman (by beating) he didn’t know how to break up with. Worse still, he got said woman pregnant first. Hey asshole, if you didn’t want a relationship with her, why’d you fuck her? Is the word “no”, or the phrase “no, thanks”, not in your vocabulary? Or does the little head always have the last word with you feckless morons? Anyway, thanks to you and your dick (and your dickishness), the Fetus Fetishists now have their knicks in a knot, and are trying to sneak a back-door anti-abortion bill through the House of Commons–under the pretext of “protecting women”, which it wouldn’t do worth a dime. But damn, it’s great red meat for the woman-haters, isn’t it? Thanks a pantload, you gormless murdering fucker.

27. Andrea Fucking Lafferty. Only in the sick, deviant mind of a right-wing “family values” pervert would a bill forbidding gender- and sexual-orientation-based discrimination at work be construable as carte blanche for sexual molestation (and various other ooky practices.) Given how much these “family values” types harp on the subject, and with what energy, I have no choice but to conclude that they are all fantasizing about all those things, all the time. And it makes me want to protect my nearest and dearest…from THEM.

And finally, The Fucking Teabaggers. Yes, all of you. Have you checked your taxes lately? Don’t come back here, or kvetch about your president, until you do. Better still, don’t kvetch at all. You have nothing to be angry about, yet you’re angry all the time! You plainly don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Maybe you should just stop talking. As the old saying goes, better to keep your mouth shut and have people wonder if you’re an idiot, than to open it and remove all doubt.

Goodnight, and get fucked.

PS: Didn’t see this until after I published the entry. What say we toss Rush Fucking Limbaugh down a volcano, as a sacrifice to Pele? Or would She reject him onaccounta he’s too old, fat, blemished and stupid?

Pardon me, I just HAD to share this.

planes-vs-volcanoes.jpg

Crunchy nugget for thought: That erupting volcano in Iceland may represent a headache for travellers, a hardship for flight crews, and a profit loss for airlines. But it’s also an unexpected, if temporary, boon as far as global warming goes.

If we want to become less dependent on fossil fuels, I’d say spending less time up in the air is a good place to start.

Teh Heterostoopid: Well, at least he’s creative with the excuses.

amputee-girlfriend.jpg

Srsly, dude…you expect us to believe that a woman with no arms and legs was going out on you? And could choke you to death with her stumps?

I’ll give you full marks for imagination, but damn, you have to learn to strain credibility a bit less if you’re gonna make shit up and be believed.

Teh Heterostoopid: Unfit Fathers: We haz them.

Exhibit A:

fatherhood-fail.jpg

Um, yeah, he’s the awesome guy with assholes for kids? Riiiiiight. If those kids are assholes, they learned it from someone. Monkey see, monkey do…

And let’s just pray that this book cover doesn’t describe the real situation, because it sure smells like that to me:

He says the kids are a drain on his resources, but I suspect it’s really that stuff in his glass.

Quotable: John Steinbeck on capitalism

“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange.”

–John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

The CIA and the Nazis

A 45-minute documentary on the CIA’s practice of hiring old Nazi war criminals, both as spies and rocket scientists for what was to become NASA. This was in direct contravention of then-US president Harry Truman’s orders to capture and imprison all Nazi officers and bring them to trial. In short, the CIA was a rogue organization from the beginning, willing to break the law for its own ends.

Quotable: Patrick Stewart on violence against women

When a well-spoken actor who is known for his smooth delivery has difficulty breaking into a subject and talking about it, you know it’s close to home. In the case of “Captain Picard”, it’s not only close, it is IN the home. Not to be missed!

Learn from a 12-year-old

Meet Frankie Hughes and her mother, Renée Espeland, as they talk with Amy and Juan on Democracy Now. And then ask yourself: How could two unarmed persons–one, a tiny little minor–possibly be so threatening to an Iowa senator that they were charged with trespassing, and in the mother’s case, “contributing to the delinquency of a minor”? And how on Earth is being pro-peace, and using one’s right to free speech for a good cause, a “delinquency”?
