A Brother From Another Mother
At one time I was filled with a fiery outrage at the all the incredibly stupid people in power running around determining the fate of humanity. Filled with a righteous anger I would post incredibly vicious rants attacking the idiots intent on sending us all to hell or extinction, which to me is the same thing. I was always aware that my tidbits of verbal offal were empty fits whose effects on the greater stage the human comedy was performed were sub-nanoscopic blips in a world where those with money play insane puppet-masters controlling what is said and heard.
Eventually my outrage played out leaving me to daydream of warp drive starships and extremely sudden evolutionary jumps where a new species of humans realize the games being played with our future and the planet and who send our shadowy masters to some cold and desolate asteroid. Even better a certain scene from the Batman movie "The Dark Knight" still comes to mind where the diabolical Joker breaks a pool stick in two and tells two defeated crime lords to fight it out with the winner allowed to live. For my own personal mental entertainment I often envision Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity playing the role of those defeated crime lords. Yeah, my mental state is not quite right but I have to ask the question "Why so serious?"
Be that as it may rational behavior, while being slightly boring, is my usual frame of mind no matter what my wife and certain other family members might say. Because of that and a certain exhaustion in dealing with idiots I have to search for others who still have that fire in the belly. Today as I was wasting valuable time surfing the internet I stopped to read the latest post published by my friend, Life As I Know it Now, and found a brother from another mother.
I've been watching more of his videos and I have to say I like what I am hearing to be sure! It's about time the stupid are called exactly what they are and taken to task and he does so admirably. Thanks for the linky love.
fascinating. my understanding of female biology is that dead tissue in the uterus leads to all sorts of nasty problems up to and including sepsis. hence the need for a d&c after a miscarriage or a delivery in which not all of the placenta was delivered....ya know....to make sure all the dead and dying tissue is removed....so all the nastiness does not occur.
in other words, the yahoo in colorado is about as informed as the bozo who thinks women's bodies have ways to shut that whole thing down and not get pregnant when they are raped.
it makes me sad that the nuts like this are so much louder and attract so much more attention than the sane members of communities of faith.
ok....so I watched the vid...and....I gotta ask...see he was saying something about it being 2013....and, like, when the hell did that happen? Gees....like I remember distinctlty it was somewhere 2003 and that gucking Bush was Pretzeldint...so what happened? Who do I blame? gees!
Hilarious video Bum, yet true ... there is a excuse for everything too. As far as these who dictate now, the neo corporate communist's, plastic capitalist's, etc ... all have their dayz numbered, rest assured ... that is why I call this time we are in ... "The Awakening" period. So dont lose faith dude ... thing's are on the way to enlightenment, it's just that we gotz to go through a lil Hell to, let's say ... see the light, if you will {: )
Nice rant by the Old Fart. South Carolina politics puzzle me. Remember the whisper campaign by the Bush cronies in 1980 that McCain had oh my gosh "colored" baby. Some talking heads give this as the reason he lost the primary to the thief and liar Geo W. Bush.

Sometimes, I wish there was a "like" or "two thumbs up" button, similar to Facebook. :-)
I watched the video clip and wasn't sure whether to laugh or applaud.
