how fragile is the flame that burns within us all to light each passing day? ~ bad religion

fair & balanced

how right you are, sir.

"Walk into any bar, hair salon, gym or motel lobby in the country; if the TV is tuned to Fox rather than CNN, you know that the owner or clientele or both are Republican. It's a secret - although not actually secret any more - sign of fraternity among conservatives"

oh, and the remainder of the article is the fair & balanced part.

bettypage wars: attack of the clones

is yet another betty page look-a-like siphoning a personality she has no imagination to create for herself.  you know, you've seen them at the mall, in the dive bars, online w their profiles and glamor shots.. sadly wherever you look :/

try to follow me here.
jango fett much like betty page both responsible for kicking supreme ass.
i concur.
storm troopers (clones of jango) much like aging rockabilly hipsters (clones of betty) both responsible for being supremely o so dull.
yet, at least the stormtroopers have no control over their own destiny, they're bred to suck at life.  however you bettyhipster, choose to lift someone else's identity on your own free will, in hopes of what? a faint glimmer of attention-by-recognition?
how you miss the oozing lack of originality seeping down your tired & hanky bettypage-bangs and into your hipster 'sleave of ink' is beyond me.

find me one stormtrooper who did anything other than die, and i'll find you a betty clone who deserves the same fate.

you know who you are bettypage

i've wanted this o so very badly since i was five.

my very own "IN YOUR FACE five year old kid who can't buy all this heavenly goodness but since i'm an adult now i can" cabinet of nothing but candy awesomeness (aka cnca).

it's like halloween died inside my cabinet. and the best part? i don't even eat it. i just like to open it sometimes and look at it. and know it's mine, all mine    ....and not yours.

are those now & laters you see in there?
why yes. yes they are. however you, only being a five year old with no cnca of your own, will not be eating them now, nor later. mine.

three months of your weekly allowance money worth of reese's pieces buttercups?
believe it.

enough fun-dip to beach sand my entire kitchen floor with?
easily. fun-dip-sand-castles included.

why you ask?
because i can. and more importantly, you cannot.

so heed my advice, stay in school, get an education, and one day you may be able to afford a cabinet of nothing but candy awesomeness of your very own. until then, i point and laugh at you.

oh, anyone have any ideas on how to rig up a music box to the cabinet door so i get to hear ice cream truck music when i open and close?

good riddance, you phony

This Day In History
April 5
1994 Kurt Cobain commits suicide

youth. health. talent.
life at your fingertips, nothing but everything in the world waiting to be summoned, at your disposal. ask, you shall receive. anything you want.

meanwhile, in a hospital far far away, someone lies in a bed-on-wheels, hooked up to more medical devices than they can count. the devices are there to assist in their struggle to stay alive. they didn't ask for this disease that is slowly killing them. they're doing everything in their power to fight it. to stay alive one more day.

you're a big fucking coward, kurt.  i celebrate today, not for your life, but for your death. 
good riddance, you goddamn phony.

you ask what 4 more years will bring us?

everybody knows.

everybody knows that the dice are loaded
everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
everybody knows that the war is over
everybody knows that the good guys lost
everybody knows the fight was fixed
the poor stay poor, the rich get rich
that's how it goes
everybody knows

lead by example

not to be outdone in spirit, allawi, the interim iraqi prime minister takes a page from the bush admin in shady kickbacks 101.

worst toll on US to date

22 americans died today in the worst single day death toll since the war started

in other news, bush is still unqualified to speak on 'vital missions for peace':

President Bush said the explosion should not derail the elections and that he hoped relatives of those killed know that their loved ones died in "a vital mission for peace."

 

and so who's next you wonder?

iran

north korea

france

britain

none of us really matter to them

bush on election behavior

he doesn't even have the courtesy to have one of his aids recite the hypocrisy.  kettle.. pot here.. you're black, sir.

"There's just a lot of allegations of vote fraud that placed their election, the validity of their elections, in doubt," Bush said. "The international community is watching very carefully. People are paying very close attention to this, and hopefully it will be resolved in a way that brings credit and confidence to the Ukrainian government."
