Get A Frickin Life, You Fools

"Post Election Selection Trauma is a real problem, Florida clinicians say"

The above is the secondary headline for an article, which I will link below.

I cannot adequately condemn this insanity, it is below contemptible.

“Psychologists blast Rush Limbaugh for mocking traumatized Kerry voters"

A Handiwipe, Please

I’ve visited the Wikipedia site maybe half-a-dozen times since it went online. I most recently visited the site to see what was posted for the word glaze, though I cannot remember why, but I was surprised to see that Wikipedia made no mention of window glazing, though it mentioned many other definitions for the word glaze.

Robert McHenry has penned a piece, posted at Tech Central Station, regarding Wikipedia which is titled “The Faith-Based Encyclopedia." Though McHenry may be biased regarding Wikipedia, he previously was the Editor in Chief of the Encyclopædia Britannica, personally, I think the title should have been more in line with McHenry’s parting paragraph.

"The user who visits Wikipedia to learn about some subject, to confirm some matter of fact, is rather in the position of a visitor to a public restroom. It may be obviously dirty, so that he knows to exercise great care, or it may seem fairly clean, so that he may be lulled into a false sense of security. What he certainly does not know is who has used the facilities before him.

Liberals on the Dark Side

The following “Dear Osama” letter was published in The Stranger, a Seattle alternative reality rag.

"DEAR OSAMA BIN LADEN

I’m sorry. You were right. We deserve to be blown up.

After last Tuesday, well… what can I say? You had us pegged dead-on the first time--although I was in denial and refused to believe it up until now. We as a nation obviously ARE a bunch of mindless sheep, grown fat with consumerism and easily led down the primrose path into corruption. After what happened November 2, there’s just no denying it anymore. I’m ashamed that I was so blind for so long.

After 60 percent of eligible voters turned out and 51 percent of those voted for Bush, I can’t do anything but concede your point: There are no innocents left in America. We’ve brought this on ourselves. Go ahead and do your worst. We’ve got it coming--in a big way. All I ask is this: Give New York a break, okay? And leave New England, California, and the rest of the West Coast out of it as well. We’re on your side already! Please, stay focused and plan your next attack against the real enemy: those “red states” in the middle of the map. Fly a Cessna into the stands of a NASCAR rally. Put a suicide bomber on the Arch in St. Louis. Drive a truck-bomb into the Grand Ole Opry. Release anthrax at an Astros game. It’s all good! They’ve got it coming. I’m just sorry it took me so long to figure out how very right you were. Can you ever forgive me?

--Anonymous”

It raises the term sore loser to a whole new level, not to mention other ramifications of a more pressing nature.

Nigger Rich

Do you see that term, above? It’s derogatory, it’s demeaning, and oh so politically incorrect. If I recall correctly, I first heard the term used when I was a teenage kid, say 1972, 1973. I recall needing to ask what the heck the term meant, and, if I must provide a meaning, I think the following headline provides a fairly adequate explanation.

“Fight breaks out during taping of Vibe awards; one person stabbed"
