Mimzie beat me to the punch, that wench, but somehow I’ll find it in my cold heart to forgive her. Here are some of my favorite and original/creative Halloween costumes this year…

Very creative… but now she’s ruined
 Nuff said
Wow, just like Brokeback Mountain, but gay.
Jesus, I’m not sure if I can come up with a comment that gives this one justice. This is one sick motherfucker, hilarious, but sick.
This one is wrong on so many levels, and yet I just had to share…
Retired judge and US Attorney General nominee Michael Mukasey has refused to answer the question of whether the interrogation technique known as waterboarding violates US law. For those of you who don’t know, waterboarding is the interrogation technique where the suspect is strapped to a board and either immersed in water or water is poured on them to simulate drowning. Congress declared waterboarding illegal in 2006. So what I want to know is how the fuck can Mukasey NOT say this is against US law? Oh yeah, because our jit-bag government uses it and other “alternative” interrogation techniques as reported in this CNN.com article:
Bush has acknowledged authorizing the use of “alternative” interrogation techniques against suspected terrorists.
Though his administration insists that it does not torture prisoners, it refuses to reveal which interrogation techniques may be used.
I have an idea, let’s line up Bushy-poo, Cheney, Rice, Mr. Mukasey and all of the other neo-con war-birds who are for these methods and have them undergo “alternative” questioning. After they are interrogated, we’ll poll them to see if they felt they were tortured. I would have a hell of lot more respect for them if they just said “hell yes we torture them” than tap dancing around and lying.
 I will leave you with a good quote about torture from Reservoir Dogs, Nice Guy Eddie:
Would you stop it with that shit. You beat on this prick enough, he’ll tell ya he started the Chicago fire. That don’t necessarily make it so.
A recent study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press shows a distinct media bias that effectively narrows the field of front-runners as a result, full article reported here on CBSnews.com. First off, “Project for Excellence in Journalism”, this is a tall order in our country (read horseshit), where if it ain’t sensational it ain’t news. But the results are expected, the strong media bias has narrowed the field to the top two Democrat front-runners (Clinton and Obama) and 3 Republicans (Giuliani, McCain, and Romney, all toolbags). The biggest take-aways from this report are these facts:
They argue that this election could represent a generational struggle in both parties, but that early media coverage failed to capture that fundamental tension.
“If American politics is changing,” the report concluded, “the style and approach of the American press does not appear to be changing with it.”
The internet communities have been harping about this for years, the main-stream media in this country is out of touch, and surprise surprise the main-stream media in this country are large corporations who don’t want a politics shift. I don’t see a solution except to start watching BBCnews, hell Americans might actually start to hear news from other places.
As a parent of young children, I have been exposed to a number of children’s shows lately, most of which suck… they suck very much. The worst of the bunch however is The Wiggles. This show comes to us from Australia.  Now my frame of reference for all things Aussie comes from bad movies in the 80’s (I’m looking at you Paul Hogan) and my years of playing rugby (which typically revolves around a very physical sport, a lot of beer, and the nonsense that comes with those two things). None of these Australian influences have prepared me for the creepiness of The Wiggles. The first time I saw my daughter watching the show, I thought I was looking at 4 pederasts singing sugary songs behind evil fake smiles. Look at this picture, there is a lot of pain and anger behind those fake smiles:
 If I see The Wiggles on TV, I either distract my kids and change the channel or knock-them out with some form of ether or shot to the neck like they used to do to B.A. Baracus on the A-Team to get him on planes (”crazy fool!”).
The senator from Illinois added that unfortunately, the Kyl-Lieberman amendment made the case for President Bush that we need to use our military presence in Iraq to counter Iran — a case that has nothing to do with sanctioning the Revolutionary Guard.”
The Kyl-Lieberman amendment passed 76-22 in the Senate last month. It calls, in part, for the Revolutionary Guard to be designated a terrorist organization. While Obama opposes the legislation, he was campaigning when the full Senate took up the bill and missed the vote.
So let me get this straight Obama, this amendment which you oppose, brings us closer to action against Iran (essentially labeling it as a terrorist state) and makes a case for long-term military presence in Iraq to counter the Iranian “threat”. This seems like an important amendment, and yet you were too fucking busy campaigning to vote against it even though you oppose it. Obama is the same asshole who goes after the voting records of his opponents on the campaign trail while he has the luxury of not having a voting record. Obama = tool.
If you know what this term mean, you probably think you’re cool or you are in fact a major geek. I probably fit both of those descriptions. Wikipedia describes “owned” (or own3d, 0wn3d, or pwned) in part as:
Owned has now spread beyond computer and gaming contexts and become part of standard slang, where it usually entails defeat or humiliation, often in an amusing way or through the dominance of another party.
I have some examples of being “Owned!” below, someday I may have the balls to post some pics of personal friends that have been owned, but not until they piss me off enough.

Don’t ever let your friends see you pass out…
Snakes rule… that guy probably deserved it…
Soccer sucks… this pic doesn’t…
I said, don’t EVER let your friends see you pass out…. Nancy…
This one hits close to home… I can see it happening in my house…
I have what is known commonly as a “potty mouth” and it has been mentioned to me on occasion that I have a “mouth like a sailor”. First off, as a father of young children, I hope to god that I don’t have a potty mouth, because then it would be full of shit and piss filled diapers, that would suck more than anything has ever sucked before. And the whole mouth like a sailor thing doesn’t sound right either (no sea-men jokes please).  Why don’t we just say that I have a colorful vocabulary and shut the fuck up about it?
 On occasion, people feel they need to correct vulgarity in speech or writing, this really pisses me off. Ok, one caveat, I try to limit it to adults, I give the kids the opportunity to learn profane language on their own, but when they turn 18, all bets are off. As an example, just recently I was testing out my new social bookmarking plug-in and I submitted one of my posts to reddit.com, it was The Simpson’s Movie gets teacher fired. One of the comments on reddit was:
Another effective point spoiled by the use of the word fucktard.
I didn’t get it, “fucktard” was my favorite part of that post. What an uppity asshole, did the use of my colorful language diminish my point? Well, evidently yes in his book. Well I always say, you have to break a few eggs if you want to make an omelet, but it sounds better if you say “You have to break a few motherfucking eggs if you want to make a donkey-raping omelet”.
My favorite diatribe on the word fuck is in the clip below, somebody added some animation to it… but be careful, it may include some obscene words, enjoy.
Blogger extraordinaire Stealth of No Middle Ground Here fame has tagged me with a meme for “3 things you haven’t let go”. For those of you that are uninformed (such as myself a couple of hours ago) a meme is defined by Webster as:
an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture
So I guess it’s kinda like a virus or super strain of the chain-letter (minus the “your arms will melt off and your cat will be raped if you don’t pass this on to 100 of your friends in 3 days” shit). I wracked my brain for some time to come up with the magical three… could it be my heightened sense of self-aware awesomeness? Probably not. Or maybe my ability to sniff out bull-shit without sensing my own? Nah. Oh I know, my ability to piss off people in stellar moods? Nope. Possibly my ability to imbibe 78 beers without taking a piss? Not a chance. I guess I will have to settle for these three:
My Family. Ok, I know this is pretty fucking lame but I tried to figure out a way to not include them, but it wasn’t happening. When I talk about my family, I don’t just mean in the traditional nuclear sense of my immediate family or the family I grew up with. Although they’re the most important of course, and I would walk through fire, a gauntlet of smelly unwashed euro-types, and watch ice-skating for them (ok maybe not ice-skating). I also mean my family of close friends I’ve collected over the years, even if they do look a bit like a Howard Stern “wack-pack” group photo sometimes.
Movies. I can build a cathedral with all of the DVD’s we own. In our blood-lust for all things movie and DVD’s I’ve even found a couple of the fuckers that are still shrink-wrapped in the bottom of a box of hundreds of em. Sometimes I think the old copies of Navy Seals and Porky’s Revengeare gettin it on in our storage closet and make all sorts of DVD babies (like when I find Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Sound of Music, I say “did I buy this shit?, and what’s with the goo?”). The obsession doesn’t end with DVD’s, it extends to all the cable movie channels and movies in the theater. Nearly all of our “Date-nights” have a movie involved.
My stubborn streak. I’m too stubborn to be stubborn, Stubborn is billymac. I don’t give a shit if you’re right or not, I’m not budging unless its my idea. I CAN be manipulated, just ask my wife or kids or mom or neighbors or small squirrels or vagrants, but I will sure as shit not move until they convince me that I came up with the bright idea. I’m also too stubborn to admit I’m stubborn, so this isn’t really me typing, it’s some sort of good-looking impostor.
Now in the tradition of the virus… er meme, I will now tag 3 unsuspecting and I’m sure ungrateful folks. Let’s see, how about these three, because I know it will probably piss them off the most:
