Say it isn’t so, our bullshit government has engaged in propaganda activity directly on US soil? The New York Times had a very interesting article yesterday titled: “Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon’s Hidden Hand“. No, the hidden hand wasn’t up Bush’s mostly retarded ass as I had originally guessed, it is actually in your pocket and mine, as well as up the skirts of school girls (the Pentagon is a dirty dirty place full of creepy pederasts). The article is a great read and goes into detail how the Bush Administration uses former military officials, who are now mostly tied up with the private sector defense industry, as embedded puppets at the major TV news outlets. Big surprise, FoxNews had the highest number of these ass-clowns followed by NBC, CNN, CBS and ABC. One warning, the article is fucking 11 pages long, most of us don’t have the attention span or time to dedicate to an article that long, but it was worth the extra minutes for me.
We all know suspect that the information flowing from the Bush Administration is bullshit, but now there is solid evidence of an information tampering program initiated by the assholes in charge of the country. They brought these “independent” analysts in and held private briefings with them with the exact message points the administration wanted to get out and then deployed them to the networks. And this shit works.
Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found.
The effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, has sought to exploit ideological and military allegiances, and also a powerful financial dynamic: Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air.
I really fucking hate this administration. And, I’m not sure if our government is realistically fixable.
Or at least heading in that direction. I’m referring of course to our civilization. The answer to the question of “What caused the fall of Rome” has no real answer, however it had some dominant factors like population in decline, incompetent and corrupt political system, and economic crisis… we are fitting the bill fairly nicely. For me it is those factors plus the unbelievable shit that we as a population get into. For example, check out this disturbing motherfucking shit out:
So I was in Best Buy the other day salivating over a bunch of shit that I wanted to buy when I noticed an entire DVD section dedicated to HBO shows and movies. When I was browsing the titles, I came across the first four seasons of The Wire. I remembered reading somewhere that the show wasn’t just good, it was fucking good, and I decided to check it out. So I bought season 1, jerked-off on the clerk, and walked to car… ok I didn’t jerk-off on the clerk, that would be ridiculous, I just shat on her stomach. On my way home from Best Buy, I remembered where I read about the show, it was on Sadcox’s site. I think the word for his view on the show is evangelical. Check out his take on the show in the previous link, he has a much purtier mouth than I do… I just swear a lot. Anyway, I just finished up season 1 last night and bought season 2 during my lunch hour today, it has been exactly 6 days since I picked up the first season. Hello, my name is billymac, and I’m addicted to The Wire. Thanks Sadcox.
An upset customer shot at a Hooters restaurant in Knoxville, Tennessee yesterday after there was contention with his bill. Unfortunately, this waste of skin killed a patron and seriously injured a manager. Click here for full story on CNN.com. What I don’t get is how this dude can be so upset to commit murder over a bar tab? Especially after staring at orange and white cleavage and tight buns? Sure, be an asshole and start a fight, but to be chicken-shit enough to fire your gun into the place from the outside? I hope this ass-clown gets his in jail, and bubba literally breaks him in.
Folks, the next time you are pulled over for drunk driving, make sure you scratch your nuts before you get out of the car. You don’t want to end up like this poor soul.
Score one for Simpson? O.J. gets his Rolex back after an appraiser determined that the watch was only worth a hundred bucks. The watch was seized recently by the Goldman’s lawyers but was ordered to be returned after the appraisal came back. Goldman lawyer David Cook was quoted in an ABCnews.com article:
“While we are clearly disappointed with the outcome, this tells us that collecting on this judgment, against this guy, is really tough,” Cook said.
At least now O.J. won’t be late to his next felony….
