Right Where It Belongs

NIN "Right Where It Belongs" Live (AT THE SHOW I SAW!) West Palm Beach, May 8, 2009
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnuMBncsCGg
(I added this link to my review post of the show, just so ya know.)
Easily one of the best songs Trent's done. Why the FUCK didn't it get released as a single?! It would have EASILY been as big as "Hurt". Aw you record company people are RETARDED!

Just a tip, for FREE shit!

Do a google search for NINE INCH NAILS LIVE and see what you get!
If you have the damn awesome luck I have, you'll have enough for 3 CDs!
And that's AFTER you eliminate songs that already are on the live album "AND ALL THAT COULD HAVE BEEN"!!!!!!!!!!!! I shit you not. So, ENJOY!
Oh and for goddamn sakes, PLAY IT LOUD AND PISS OFF YOUR DICKHEAD NEIGHBORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Line of the day goes to...ME!

I 100% wrote this, so don't jack it without proper credit to me, Lu Cifer http://Lu666Cifer.blogspot.com thank you:

And since it's 9/11 tomorrow...

...let us not forget ALL the innocent people, no matter if they died here in the USA, their national origin, in one of the BULLSHIT wars that followed 9/11, who died due to this GODDAMN LIE, or whatever, may you all truly rest in PEACE.
May I live to see the day when the truth is finally revealed WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
Until then, NO JUSTICE? NO PEACE!

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!

Didn't this "Joe Wilson" clown resign already?!

Fight Joe Wilson's "Lies" - Help out Rob Miller

by Jake McIntyre

Wed Sep 09, 2009 at 07:20:35 PM PDT

Up until today, Joe Wilson was just another anonymous Southern Republican troglodyte Congressman, unknown to all but the poor people of South Carolina and the most serious horse race junkies.

Today, he's the hyena who disgraced himself, his party, and the House chamber by screaming "you lie!" like an 8 year-old during the President's eloquent speech on the most critical challenge facing our nation.

There's something we can do to let Joe Wilson know what we think of his childish approach to a serious problem -- we can help out Rob Miller. Rob is an Iraq War vet -- a Marine who came back to South Carolina to try and restore dignity to South Carolina's Second CD, where Joe Wilson was selling out the district by voting for unfair trade deals and corporate giveaways. Despite being a relative unknown, being outspent by a substantial margin, and a general Republican lean to the district, Rob came within just 8 points of knocking Wilson off in 2008. And we're lucky to have him running again.

Rob's a fair trade Democrat who supports the Employee Free Choice Act. He's a breath of fresh air for a state that desperately needs new leadership. And we can help him tonight, as the nation sees what an immature loser his opponent is. Let's chip in to help Rob -- with early financial support, and with the notoriety Wilson has brought on himself, we've got a chance to help send Joe Wilson packing -- and to bring maturity and decency to South Carolina politics.

HAHAHAAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David Kurtz | September 10, 2009, 9:25AM

Rep. Joe Wilson's 2010 opponent has received more than $100,000 in contributions overnight.

STILL UNanswered 9/11 questions!

Urm, gee, we got 4 AIRPLANES hijacked and in the air FOR HOW LONG? And WHEN were the intercept jets scrambled to any of them?! Correct me if I am wrong, but, I always thought it is REQUIRED BY LAW that if ANY commercial airplane goes more than ONE MILE off course, military jets (plural!) are to intercept it. NOTE HOW THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. HELLO? Wouldn't THIS concept ALONE be enough for you to say "OH SHIT! 9/11 WAS A FUCKING INSIDE JOB!"? However, since most Americans have been anesthetized by near-lethal TV lobotomies (mainly Fux Nukes) and shit radio like oxyRU$Hitler and his 900 cocksucker clones, this is what us few dozen sane people are left to deal with!
Warning after warning after warning, FBI memo after FBI memo, CIA even goes to goddamn DUHbya, GEE, NO ONE HAS A FUCKING CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON ON THAT DAY?!?!?! Ok, 4 jets hijacked, all turn around, and...it's obvious to even my own shit that 2 of them are on their way to New York, the other 2 on their way to DC. Gee, we had NO IDEA they would hit the World Trade Center towers, cuz NO ONE would figure MANHATTAN, especially the WTC, as a TERRORIST TARGET? Urm, well, they am be is never been targeted BEFORE, right? Ok, AFTER the first 2 planes hit NY, then what?!
Take your time...no rush...
GEE, WHATCHALL THINK IS NEXT? Ya fucking think they am be gonna go hit a coal mine in West Virgina or a hay field in Indiana?! NO GODDAMMIT, DC IS NEXT, SCRAMBLE THE MOTHERFUCKING JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we all know how THAT went down on 9/11, as in, ok, the jets got in the air...5 days later.
WHY THE FUCK DID NOTHING SANE SEEM TO HAPPEN ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001?!
Asshat read to kids over in Sarasota, and DICKhead hit in his bunker playing with himself while 3,000 people WERE MURDERED BY OUR OWN FUCKING GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST PRODUCE THE REAL EVIDENCE OF THE PLANE HITTING THE PENTAGON, and people like me would shut up and say "Ok, it WAS a plane". What the hell is the big goddamn deal, do they think we cannot stand to watch it? How many millions of times have we all seen the planes hit the North and South towers? And how many times have *I* ever said "those weren't planes that hit the twin towers"? Take your time with this last question. No rush. Ok, ready...the correct answer to it is: NEVER!!! Because, after seeing the endless footage of the WTC attacks, EVEN MY OWN SHIT CAN SAY THOSE WERE AIRPLANES!!! Now, were the FUCK is the PENTAGON VIDEO???
Even if it was just LET happen on purpose, not MADE, IT IS STILL MURDER. That ALONE is enough for almost EVERYONE in the BU$Hitler Regime to be IN PRISON right this very second, not even on our way to Afghanistan and Iraq and what ever else in the name of greed and fascism these assholes are STILL not being held responsible for to this very second. SLEEP TIGHT EVERYBODY.

An email and a reply

Email:

Hello,

I just want to tell you I read your blog about hating republicans. I CANT AGREE MORE and I have rarely seen it put as well as you put it. I am going to send it out to all the right wing half wits who keep sending me their sheepish self defeatist republican chain letters whining about how we should fire congress and health care for everyone is a mistake. Fire congress? WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN FOR 8 YEARS? They let a giggling murderer lie his way into office and pretty much destroy the country for 8 years, Obama gets in, and tries to do something constructive for the PEASANTS, and they are suddenly up in arms. They boil my fucking blood. At any rate its a great rant and I commend you for it.

Best regards,

Budvido

Prophet 451's AWESOME rant!

STANDING OVATION!!!

Dear Republicans,

Fuck you. No, I'm not joking. I'm sick of this bullshit.

I'm sick of the way you've corrupted the public discourse. The way you've made it acceptable to hurl any insult you like at public officials. The way you blame us for the current atmosphere of hatred by accusing us of starting it with hating Bush. Like Bush didn't come on the heels of eight years of your tireless efforts to destroy Clinton by any means necessary, like Bush didn't give us good reason to complain. A couple of posters on a website compared Bush to Hitler and you've used it as free license to compare Obama to Hitler 24/7 and I'm sick of your hypocrisy, where it's acceptable to say shit about Obama that you would have had an apoplectic fit (and did) if anything remotely similar had been said about your guys. Keith Olbermann calls Cheney a fascist when he was actually using fascist tactics and you think that gives you the freedom to call Obama a fascist, socialist, Marxist constantly for no reason at all. Fuck you and your bullshit false equivalency.

I'm sick of the way you've made the populace stupid. Around a fifth of your populace thinks the sun orbits the earth, over half think evolution never happened. Your populace actually believe the media has a liberal bias. Not because it has, you have the most conservative media in the free world, but because you've shouted it so loud and so often that you've brainwashed the public into believing it, like the battered wife who parrots her husband's insults. You've got a whole segment of the populace shouting about socialism and fascism and none of them know what the fucking words mean. You've convinced them that fascism is a left-wing thing. You've got them so turned around that some of them actually believe global warming isn't happening. Fuck you.

I'm sick of the way you try to destroy the whole concept of government. You've tricked the people into believing that government can't do anything right, always being careful to exclude the army because you love your bullets and bombs but you've so destroyed the public's ability to reason that they don't even think of interstate highways, the space program, the national parks program, etc. Government is always great when it's doing what you tell it and inevitably corrupt when it isn't. Fuck you.

I'm sick of your rewriting of history. You've bleated so loud and long that Reagan was a great president, that the New Deal didn't work, that cutting taxes increases revenues, that you actually have the people believing this bullshit. And these are the same people who will go on to become teachers and fill their student's heads with this self-same bullshit. Reagan was a mediocre president at best who had the good fortune to be in power when the USSR collapsed under it's own weight and you bastards have turned him into the Second Coming. You've rewritten history so that everything foul and hateful and wrong can be attributed to a Democrat while everything worthwhile is a Republican's glory. Fuck you.

I'm sick of your dragging the center ever further to the right. How many whackjob fringe ideas have you dragged into the mainstream? The aforementioned idea that tax cuts increase revenues, the Laffer Curve, the idea that Welfare harms the poor, the idea that there's rampant fraud in Welfare, the idea that whatever is good for corporations is good for the country. And you push these ideas through your corporate media and you do it so long and loud that they become part of the accepted political landscape and because it is easier to tell a lie than to debunk one, we never get away from this rancid shit. Fuck you.

I'm sick of your casual criminality. Teddy Kennedy, a man who's boots you were not worthy to lick, was just buried and all I've heard from my rightist friends for days is Chappaquiddick, Chappaquiddick, Chappaquiddick. Your fucking golden boy raped the Constitution, mainly because he wanted to; tortured random people (and waterboarding is torture, fuck you too) essentially because he wanted to; spent like a drunken sailor, essentially because he wanted to; invaded a sovereign nation, essentially for the loot and destroyed people's lives, essentially for the evilulz and you bastards are obsessed with a fucking accident a Democrat had decades ago? You don't go on about Laura Bush killing some guy decades ago. Fuck you.

I'm sick of you praising pure evil. You're letting Dick Cheney be the standard-bearer for Republicanism. Dick Cheney, a man so nakedly evil that even his friends call him "Darth"; a man so callous that Lex Luthor would recoil in terror; a man who probably has dismembered hitchhikers in those man-sized safes and kills plants by his mere proximity. Fuck you.

I'm sick of your attempts to tilt the playing field permanently in your favor. Democrats filibustered a few of Bush's most hateful judicial picks and you pricks started screaming about doing away with the filibuster but now you're in the minority, you're filibustering absolutely everything you can and whining when you don't get the chance. You ignored everything the Democrats had to say when you had power and now that you don't, you scream that everyone must be bipartisan. You don't budge a fucking inch on anything but you insist that everyone must compromise to meet you. That's your idea of politics: Don't move an inch, force the other guy to come to the right to meet you and call the result a "compromise". Fuck you.

I'm sick of your corporatism. You dress it up in false populism but anyone with half a brain can see that you're the brought and paid for subsidiary of big business. You keep pushing tax cuts as the answer for absolutely everything, you keep sabotaging every attempt to control the excesses of big business. You genuinely think the world would be a better place if it was a combination of Bill Gibson's dystopian vision of a corporate dominated world and Ayn Rand's bullshit Objectivism, yet another entry in mankind's endless attempts to find a moral justification for naked greed. You've taken the clinically insane spewings of a woman literally to the right of Hitler (pardon my Godwins) and the 1984-like vision of a dystopian author and convinced yourselves that would be a good place to live. Big business is the enemy of the people, always has been. The ideal for the corporate class is to have a small pool of people rich enough to buy their fucking crap and a much larger pool of people so poor and with so few options that they can be used and abused at the corporation's whim. A corporation's objective is not to look after you, it is to make ever-larger profits by any means necessary. You bastards want to reinstate fucking slavery to the corporate class and you've made the public so fucking stupid that they actually swallow the bullshit you're serving up, they actually want to enslave themselves to the corporations that abuse them at every turn. They actually care more about the corporations right to make obscene profits than they care about their child's right to live on a habitable planet. Fuck you.

Fuck you, you scumridden shitehawks, you make me sick. Just fuck off and die.

Question

Is "The Legend Of The Sleeping Beaver" by Patty Sanchez which was featured in the movie TWILIGHT (the book Bella Swan got to look up Quileute legends) a REAL book?!
And if so, WHERE can yours truly get a copy?!

If you’re judging Ted Kennedy, you’re judging Laura Bush too. Remember that.

by Steve Marmel | August 26th, 2009

There’s been no shortage of reminders that Ted Kennedy lived a flawed life. Fair enough. He did. Did his good out balance his bad? As someone who did more than his share of Ted Kennedy jokes while he was alive (and regrets none of them) I think it’s safe to say “yes.”

But for the select few in this highly partisan time that couldn’t wait for the body to be cold to start trying to dance on the grave, here’s a little clip from Family Guy for you.

That’s right. Laura Bush did the same thing. Not as famous, not as known, but just as horrible.

SNOPES BACKS UP THE CLAIM

From the Daily news when the Family Guy clip ran:

Rumors have swirled since the crash was first reported that Mrs. Bush may have been criminally negligent (i.e. that she may have been drinking) at the time of the crash, but no chargers were filed and no evidence of wrong-doing was recorded.

Laura Bush is certainly not the first political figure to be skewered by the show – recent plots linked Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin to Nazis. It has mocked slavery, the disabled, the women’s movement, obesity and pretty much any other sensitive or controversial issue you could possibly think of.

Will it show President-elect Barack Obama the same (dis)respect? We’ll see.

That’s the Daily News’ question.

Here’s mine - to the Twitterati jumping all over this, to the bitter right bringing it up in their facebook statuses… Does it wash backwards? If you can say you have the same bitterness to Laura Bush as you do for Ted Kennedy, then fine - have at it. Add your hash tags and comments. I will accept, at face value, that you look at everyone with this on their record equally, and you have the same venom regardless of political identity.

But if you can’t see it on both sides, then let the man have a little peace in his death, and let his story be told as a tapestry of decades, not one single, horrifying incident.

Steve Vai hails 'genius' of Brian May!

Posted on 26th Aug 2009 18:30 to category Band / Celebrity News

Brian May has been hailed as one of the world's most identifiable electric guitar players by a fellow music legend.

According to Steve Vai, the Queen star is a genius who has a more distinctive sound than many other notable guitarists, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.

Speaking to Classic Rock magazine, he revealed that he once had the opportunity to play May's famous homemade electric guitar.

This, he stated, made him realise just how much of May's sound is down to the man himself rather than his gear.

"It was very apparent to me that his tone is in his fingers and his head," Vai commented.

"He's a class act from head to toe."

Vai gave particular praise to May's ability to orchestrate electric guitars, as this was an "unprecedented" sound that had never been heard before.

The technique was heavily used in the 1975 track Good Company, in which an electric guitar was used to simulate an entire jazz band through intricate arrangements and multi-tracking.

AARP Poll: 8 in 10 Back Public Option

by Jonathan Singer, Wed Aug 26, 2009 at 02:49:10 PM EST

A new survey commissioned by the AARP asks respondents to what degree they support or oppose "starting a new federal health insurance plan that individuals could purchase if they can't afford private plans offered to them" -- a public option, in other words. The results are interesting, though not necessarily surprising to those who have been closely following the debate.

All: 79 percent favor/18 percent oppose
Democrats: 89 percent favor/8 percent oppose
Republicans: 61 percent favor/33 percent oppose
Independents: 80 percent favor/16 percent oppose

Not only does a public option enjoy strong support (AARP finds 37 percent strongly supporting such a choice), it enjoys broad support -- a finding based not only in this new survey but also in SurveyUSA polling released last week. Indeed, a supermajority of even Republicans supports a federal program to provide individuals with a choice for their health insurance coverage, with just a third of the party membership opposing such a plan.

So why, again, are supporters of a public option finding such difficulty in Congress? (I'll give you a hint: BRIBERY FROM LOBBYISTS!)

Rude Pundit on Teddy

8/26/2009

A Message on Ted Kennedy to Conservatives Who Hated Him (Mostly Profanity-Free for the Kiddies):
Let's just get this right:

Do you like your state and not the federal government controlling the curriculum of your kids' schools? Thank Ted Kennedy.

Do you like being able to vote starting at age 18? Thank Ted Kennedy.

Do you think low-income people should get help with heating their homes in the winter? Thank the man.

Do you think the federal government should fund cancer research? Yep.

Do you believe that Meals on Wheels is a good thing? Ditto.

Does your daughter (or you, if you're female) like playing soccer or basketball or softball at school? That'd be because of Ted Kennedy.

Do you think that disabled people should be able to go to school? Have access to buildings? Not be discriminated against for housing and loads of other things? Kennedy, big time.

You like your cheap airfares? You know the answer.

You think people on welfare oughta get jobs? So did Kennedy.

You think mental institutions should treat people humanely? Yeah, so did your new friend, Ted Kennedy.

You believe that the Defense Department should provide child care for the kids of soldiers? Kennedy did.

You think a woman shouldn't lose her job if she gets pregnant? You think 100,000 more cops on the street's a good idea? You think poor kids should have health care? You think soldiers in Iraq should have the proper armor? Just tick those things off the list. Some of them would have been accomplished without him; many would not have been.

You agreed with Ted Kennedy far, far more than you want to think you did, dear conservatives. Still, go ahead and dance your mad jigs on his still-warm corpse. Why not? We on the left certainly did when Jerry Falwell, Strom Thurmond, and Jesse Helms kicked. Hell, one asshole blogger even celebrated the death of Ann Coulter's father. But know that you dance in ignorance. Ask Orrin Hatch.

But, of course, you want to address the far more pressing issue of whether or not Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne back at Chappaquiddick all those decades ago, no matter what the investigations said. There's only a couple of things to say about that: The glib response is, "Yeah, and Thomas Jefferson nailed his slaves. What's your point?" More directly, Kennedy asked the people of Massachusetts if they wanted him to quit. They did not. The rest of the nation may have not wanted him as president, but for Massachusetts, Chappaquiddick quickly became a settled issue and distant history. That's all that mattered to keep him in the Senate, just like Louisiana will have to judge whether or not a prostitute-lovin' David Vitter should go back. That's democracy, gang, like it or not.

And Ted Kennedy did more for real, actual democracy than almost anyone else in our entire history as a nation.

More on that tomorrow in a real tribute.

(By the way, perhaps we now know why Barack Obama was trying to get health care reform done quickly.)

Get this, now this toadlicker is saying there's NO REASON to deal with the uninsured until after the recession is over. Jesus shit dildo he is SUCH a sack of shit! I mean even repukelicans wouldn't fucking be THAT insenstive, you PRICK. I hate this bastard. He really needs to go move to Israel since he's more loyal to them than he is to the USA. LIKE IT OR LEAVE IT JOE. Ya know, he's such a "professional Jew" (there's no other nicer way to put it) that it is just beyond sickening. He kisses ass to the xian wingtards who want all Jews DEAD, which makes a LOT OF SENSE. Then he sells out the Democratic Party because HE is the most important thing to ever live and HAD to get fucking reelected to the Senate. (Thanks Connecticut!) What is wrong with people? Why can't they get over their goddamn religion and stop thinking their made up bullshit fairy tales are FACTS???

No new Neil Rogers tale to tell! Sadly.

Well this royally sucks donkey scrotums!

From Baron Von Bunghole:

A Sun Sentinel reader seeks info on Neil Rogers and doesn't really get any........

What is the real story with Neil Rogers? Where is he going? Hopefully satellite. Neil and Hank would be a great six-hour block for somebody. — S.S., e-mail

There is no real story. The management of WQAM made life miserable for Neil until he was willing to take a buyout. It was a huge payoff, which gives him the luxury of never having to work again. He and Hank Goldberg would make a great six-hour block. Everyone but the brass at WQAM knows that. But Neil says he is retired and Hank is busy working for ESPN on horse racing and making football picks.

Liberals Have Guns Too, Ya Know...

by Stephen Pizzo | August 22, 2009 - 6:10p Guns

So, the latest way the wing-nut right has found to get everyone's attention is to show up heavy at healthcare town hall meetings. I don't know what loaded guns have to do with healthcare reform, but there they are, AR15's hanging on the shoulders of men in baseball caps, 9mm semi-automatic pistolas strapped, Bruce Willis-style, on their upper thighs. All loaded for ... what? Bear? Deer? Muskrats? Dingos?

Dunno. But there they are, loaded for something - prancing around with their hardware fully exposed with a, "mine is bigger than yours," swagger. And "I got a honkin' bad, uncircumsized assault rifle." (With flash supressor.)

Right wingers are always fretting about how liberals are on the verge of taking their guns away. Which makes me wonder if they realized how many liberals out here are just as well armed as they are? Because we are. And, take it from me as a life-long liberal, I know liberals far better than right wingers do and taking your guns away is not on the mainstream progessive agenda.

So, we liberal gun owners don't lay awake nights, stroking our guns, waiting for black helicopters to sweep in with storm troopers there to wrench our guns from our "cold dead fingers." We know that's not about to happen, at least as long as we don't abuse our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. (Civics Lesson: Every right in the constitution can only exist as long as those granted those rights don't abuse them... like yelling "fire" in a crowded theater --- or shooting up town hall meetings... just saying.)

Right wingers seem to think that only their kind appreciate the heft of a well-made gun. Wrong. As I already noted, many liberals own guns, often more than one. And, if I could dare to speak for fellow liberal gun-owners, here's how we view our firearm(s):

We view our gun the very same way we view the fire extinguisher we keep in case there's a fire. I'd feel pretty foolish, even irresponsible, if a fire broke out in our kitchen and I didn't have an extinguisher right at hand before it spread and burned our house down. Likewise, I'd feel pretty foolish if someone broke into my house in the middle of the night and I didn't have a way to protect myself and my family. (Knock wood, I've never had a fire or break-in, but both can and do happen, and I'm ready for either.)

That's one difference between liberal gun owners and those guys packing loaded guns at town hall meetings. We don't have their obsessive relationship with firearms, just as we don't don't have obsessive feelings toward our washing machines, or our lawn mowers or our fire extinguishers. Guns are just another household appliance, nothing more. (Imagine how crazy it would it be if I showed up at a healthcare town hall meeting packing a fully-loaded toaster oven? Pretty crazy, dudes.)

Furthermore, liberals tend to be more polite than right wingers, especialing when it comes the handling of firearms. We understand that flashing guns in public places makes other folks nervous. So we keep our guns where they belong, at home, in a secure place. I wouldn't show up with a gun at town hall meeting any more than I'd show up with a chainsaw. Sure, it's perfectly legal to walk around in crowd with a fueled up and ready to go chainsaw, as long as you don't assault anyone with it. But it's also something only a truly stupid, or insane, person would do... or for that matter, even consider doing.

One more thing. Imagine for a moment we libs started showing at these town hall meetings packing heat as well? Just how many nanoseconds do you figure would pass before some armed dimwit decided this was time to live out his personal "showdown at the OK corral" fantasy? Duh.

So, if those on the right are really worried politicians might pass restrictive gun laws, just keep tempting fate like you've been doing the past couple of weeks. Because when you purposely inject loaded guns into an already emotionally-loaded political/social debate, it's only a matter of time before the inevitable happens. Then there will be new gun laws. Because that's how it works in this country. We wait until something terrible happens, or nearly happens, then we pass a law against it.

Which is precisely why we now must take our shoes off at airports, even though everyone knows "shoes don't kill people, people kill people."

Think about it, Rambo.
