I didn't believe him, but now we have proof...


I didn't believe Donald Trump when he said he'd suck the president's cock if he was actually born in Hawaii... but sure enough, here he is warming up. What an eager little beaver he is!!!

songs are really just very interesting things to be doing with the air...



"this has been very encouraging..."

it's easy to have mixed feelings about this. on the one hand, it's never a bad thing to be recognized by your peers. an honor is an honor. half of the audience has covered the man's work and made millions of dollars doing so... a point which segues nicely into: well, what took you so fucking long - and - why not just give him a coffin? at least that would have been useful at some point. in a world that celebrates britney spears and john boehner, maybe it would have been a greater honor not to bestow public gratitude upon a man who has spent a lifetime creating some of the finest work that has so rarely been heard outside of the edgiest independent film's final credits. the great tom waits speaks in code. so, just in case you couldn't translate for yourself, "this has been very encouraging..." = "go fuck yourselves with a toilet brush." but tom is entirely too gracious of a man to come right out and say it.

heh... tom waits gets a post and japan doesn't. see? it's a fucked up world, kids.

Holiday in Cambodia



a couple pals just returned from southeast asia... still choking on jet fumes, they mixed their videos to the dulcet tones of Jello Biafra and co. the result is a rage-inducing jealously that i'll have to live with for the rest of my life.

How to do something good AND tell republicans to fuck off... #NPR

Use congresses stunning show of stupidity as an opportunity to donate to your local NPR: http://www.npr.org/stations/donate/

It would be nice to think of all the free publicity that the GOP is stirring up for NPR in the form of donations... if it were in fact "free" publicity...

But, since it is the taxpayers that pay these buffoons to attack NPR, it's actually public funding... and since this bill will never pass the senate... it's nothing more than publicity.

THANK YOU REPUBLICANS FOR HELPING NPR!!!


...fucking morons

Houses republicans vote to defund educational programming... Republicans Against Thought: SHOCKING! #NPR

Watch Rep. Anthony Weiner mock GOP's bill to defund NPR.

Smell like a monster.

With the middle class gone, the wealthy go after the rich (Or Fuck the NFL)


The N.F.L. may lock out their players next month. According to today's Wall Street Journal, the league showed 9billion in revenues last year. There is no metric that indicates that they are going to show profits that are smaller than that next year.


The problem appears to be that they have run out of viable streams for new revenue. Financial expansion over the last decade was fueled by satellite contracts, expanded online merchandising, and taking tax payer money to build stadiums so they can exponentially raise the price of tickets. These means have all flat-lined. The owners don't think they can raise ticket prices any more than they already have and furthermore, they don't see any new streams of revenue on the horizon. Therefore, not being content with maintaining a profit of 9billion a year, they want to squeeze their workforce.

When Baseball and Hockey had labor disputes over the last several decades, they were leagues trapped in unsustainable and failing business models in which ownership, facing insane salary increases, was on a path to destruction. The NFL, with its salary cap has worked all of that out. Again, the owners made 9billion dollars last year, but that is not enough, and that is the problem.

The players have the weakest union of any the major sports. Is this a classic case of union busting?

Poor and middle class laborers in this United States have dealt with such mercantile practices for over a century. This situation is the first I know of whereby the super rich are about to eat the rich. What a perfect example of the systemic upward flow of capital (AKA Rick Scottonomics). If this lockout goes through, I urge everyone to forever boycott the NFL. Instead, watch college football, were you can see exploited young minorities making rich dudes tons of money while they get paid peanuts under the table.
