Political Profanity

Great job, Gordon.

Wow, clearly he's done it. We thought it nigh impossible, but our great Premier, Gordon Campbell, has solved every social, political, and even moral quandary facing our great province of B.C. Well done!

At least, he must have since, according to him, there's really no need for a Fall session of BC legislature. No pressing issues, he says. I guess all those hard working politicians we elected can just go back to the golf courses, drink their scotch, and bang their hookers, without worrying about all the messy issues facing the Plebes. Worry not, Gordo has it all under control, folks.

Now I'm no political analyst or social sciences expert, but last time I checked, East Hastings still looked like a South African shantytown from the Apartheid days, social services funding was still in the toilet, the welfare system was a joke, our hospitals were overcrowded and underfunded, and we're hosting a world class sporting event in two years. Clearly, there's nothing to do.

Or maybe Gordon is just thinking that the world is going to be destroyed by CERN's particle accelerator in a few weeks anyways. If that's the case, he's neglecting to take into account that Star Trek has taught us everything we need to know to fix breaks in the Space Time Continuum.

In any case, you're a douchebag, Gordon Campbell (excellent -- that should improve my Google stats .. I'm sure a lot of people are going to be searching for 'douchebag' and 'Gordon Campbell'). I hope you get eaten by wild coyotes.


And while I'm talking about politics, the US continues to get creepier and creepier as they nudge themselves ever closer to being a theocracy. The Right Wing Fundamental Christians who are in position (in fact it may be more than a little naive to assume they they are not already holding all the reins of power) to control one of the world's most powerful nations. And now there's this Palin chick, yet another hypocritical fundie nutjob, who is so eager to dictate what other people should hear, say, or do, yet can't even control her own daughter.

Not that I think they her having a 17 year old pregnant teenager should be held against her. Hey, shit happens, no matter what religion you happen to ascribe to. I'm sure trying to reign in a teenage girl in this day and age is a lot like trying to herd cats. But when it's one of the Religious Right, who are pushing to impose their beliefs and moral values on everyone else, then you're damn right that it becomes an issue.

Not to mention it pisses me off that she has a retarded baby. Now before everyone loses their mind and calls me a monster, I'm talking about the fact that, clearly, she's a woman who holds her career above her children. First because she's given them all fucked up names, but also as any Mother can tell you, raising a normal child is a full time job -- raising a Special Needs child is that times two. So what does she do? Why, accept the nomination for VP, of course. Perfectly rational choice for someone with strong family values, huh? I guess the Nanny can deal with little Trig while she's off at Camp David.

Let's just hope our neighbors to the South decide to do what I suspect Jesus would do -- vote for Obama.
