Next Thing You Know, Those Jews Will Be Saying Gandalf is Gay

From today's gossip page in NY Post:

UPPER West Side parents who take their tots to see "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" might be disturbed by its clear-cut delineation between right and wrong. "There is no moral relativism in Middle Earth," said one fan after the premiere Monday night. "It's Good vs. Evil." The other message that might disturb the liberal neighborhood's many Howard Dean supporters is the need to go to war to defeat the evil-doers. Appeasement does not work with orcs. "The movie shows clearly that the only way to save the world from evil is to risk everything and fight to the death," one spectator said. If only the villain Sauron were found at the end hiding in a hole.

For the Sake of Peace...

Instead of watching Bush on TV last night, I made a valiant effort to be the only person drunker than our President. Anyway, here is what I missed.

Jack White Kicked My Ass

Off the Meds

I think I might be in love, too.

Incoherent Thoughts

It’s a good thing, blah blah blah, that Saddam Hussein was captured. It’s a good thing he was captured alive, blah blah blah, no martyrdom. Even though none of this makes any difference to Americans in America, perhaps it will mean something to Iraqis, or anyone dim-witted enough to think Saddam could somehow rise to power again. He was captured in a way that showed him to be a pin-dicked pussy; then again, maybe he figures he’s worth more trouble to the administration alive (all his dealings with Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush I, etal., are well-established). Or maybe he was tired.
Does this ensure Bush II will be re-elected? I doubt it, since almost no one in America will give a shit about this in a week. I don’t think non-political/news junkie types give a shit now. (I haven’t heard anyone outside a circle of friends discuss Saddam since Sunday; of course, I live in Manhattan, where people love terrorists.) Plus, to me, this capture of Saddam seventeen years after the war started just kind of goes to show how good this administration is at lowering expectations—any time something good happens (something that would’ve been taken for granted six months ago), it’s the second coming.
The crowing (none of which, surprisingly, is coming from the White House) of right-ish pundits—their admonishing of Dean, left-wing pundits—only proves to me that they have no interest in what happens in the Middle East beyond how it can strengthen their political capital. There is no doubt in my mind that this is all they really care about. The Republicans are to them what the Minnesota Vikings are to me. No more, no less; it’s just easier for them to pretend they have a higher stake in it.
Hearing David Frum and Joe Lieberman-types evoke “God” when discussing this capture makes their rhetoric practically sound no different than Osama bin Laden’s. How stupid to you have to be to drag “God,” “G-d,” “Jehovah,” whatever, into discussions of events surrounding the War on Terra? Then again, I am an atheist, neither too stupid and/or pandering to talk about faith/spirituality the way these twats do.

5:30 AM Hallucination

Is it just me, or does Nathan look like the next Vice President of the United States?

Super Furry Animals return to NYC February 9th at Webster Hall.

Breaking People Into Smaller People

A silly quiz for you Indie mofos.


You're a Britpopper. The UK is your thing. The
Smiths really were 'terrif' and Blur are indie
no matter how much money they made. You could
drink all the other indie kids under the table.
You plan on moving to London someday and dream
of one day owning every Beatles release on
vinyl.


You Know Yer Indie. Let's Sub-Categorize.

God Damn Jew-run Mother Nature

I didn't realize God had bothered to make his presence known on the set of Mad Max's The Passion of Christ. Poor Private Witt.

Dark times ahead

Truest definition of capitalism at work?

Endorsement

Well, Al has left me with no choice. No more bullshitery, Dodgy Goodtimes officially endorses Howard Dean for the Democratic Presidential nomination.

Aside: Joe may be the same person person he was 3 years ago, but I am not, and neither, it appears, is Al. Sure, I'd love Che Guevera to rise from the dead and win the nom, but I am a realist of sorts.

Reagan on the Dime

It is almost reasonable to believe that House Republicans want to put Reagan on the dime as a way to further erase all history of Liberalism in our nation's history. But, it seems, they're too stupid to even know who is actually on it. Perhaps I give them too much credit.

A PSA from DG

I found this very informative.
