Next Stop…the Running Man

May 29th, 2007, by The Angry Drunk

This has to be a joke. Just when I thought that “real­ity” tele­vi­sion had reached its zenith (or is that its nadir) those ras­cally Dutch go and kick things up the prover­bial ‘nother notch. I will not rest until we have either a tele­vised live exe­cu­tion, or full on glad­i­a­to­r­ial com­bat to the death on prime-time net­work television.

Too Tired for Outrage

May 25th, 2007, by The Angry Drunk

So, here’s the deal. This week­end I’m going to a party for a spe­cial friend of mine. What kind of party, you ask. Is it a birth­day, an anniver­sary, a grad­u­a­tion? No, the party that I’m going to is so that we can col­lect sup­plies to send to her brother’s Army unit in Afghanistan. Read that last sen­tence again. We’re gath­er­ing sup­plies to send to an Army unit. Not the sort of care pack­ages that would have been sent in ear­lier con­flicts; you know, home baked treats, lux­ury items that aren’t avail­able there…porn. No, we’re gath­er­ing soap and toi­let paper.

Toilet!

Fucking!

Paper!

And yet the President can get on cam­era; and with a straight face claim that call­ing for the return of our brave men and women to their homes is some­how not sup­port­ing the troops. Let me ask you this Mr. Bush, how many rolls of that Whitehouse TP will you be donating.

I just ran across this via Violent Acres. While the tone is sar­cas­tic, the the­ory is actu­ally dead-on. This is what I was get­ting at in my post a while back.

Culture of Violence…Happy Fun Time Ediition

May 8th, 2007, by The Angry Drunk

Just read the arti­cle on the Huffington Post. I sup­pose I should make some com­ment on our cul­ture of vio­lence or some­thing; but hon­estly I can’t stop laughing.

Set My Genome Free!

May 7th, 2007, by The Angry Drunk

Well, thank the gods for this one. I know that of all the dystopian futures avail­able; Gattaca was the one that I was wor­ried about the most. Now, can we get crack­ing on the Global Climate Change ones…please.

Me Chinese, Me Make Joke, Me Put Random Industrial Chemical in Your Food

May 7th, 2007, by The Angry Drunk

And here we go again; another round of tainted con­sum­ables. Read the story here in the NYT. When the fuck are we, as a nation, going to wake up to the fact that ram­pant unreg­u­lated glob­al­iza­tion is, in fact, a bad thing. It’s not enough that we ship our jobs over­seas; it’s not enough that we can’t build the weapons we need to defend this coun­try with­out parts from China; it’s not enough that China owns the vast major­ity of our sky-rocketing national debt. Maybe peo­ple will wake up when we start drop­ping dead in the fuck­ing streets from food and med­i­cines that have been adul­ter­ated with ran­dom indus­trial chem­i­cals in the name of shav­ing a few cents off of the man­u­fac­tur­ing costs. But hey, it will all be fine; now the Libertopians can tell us how the “Market” will solve this one.
