Here is my statement to Michael Richards: STFU.

That fake ass non-apology (6th one down): STFU.

The meeting with black leaders: STFU.

The whole “I’m Jewish” thing: STFU.

Dude, you career is now officially over. It has been unofficially over for a few years now, this just seals the deal. No matter what you do, what you say, or who you say it to, you will always and forever be that racist dude.

And let’s not pretend that you aren’t actually racist. You are. Period. Don’t give me the whole “I was just angry” crap. I’ve been in a position to be really, really angry at a lot of different black people in my life. I’ve been so mad I’ve put my fist through walls. I’ve never gone there, though. Why not? Because I don’t have that in me. You, Mr. Richards, do.

So take your little ruined career and just plain unfunny behind and STFU.

Jonathan David Slusher just up and started walking today. I had been telling him for a month now that he was plenty strong, he just needed to get motivated.

Well, today he found it.

I’m so proud.

I’m not much of a TV watcher. Especially TV series. When you work rotating 12 hour shifts and don’t own a DVR of any sort, it’s just hard to maintain an interest in one and miss half of all the shows.

That being said, the ABC series, Daybreak, has caught my attention.

First of all, I like Taye Diggs. I can’t think of anything he has been in that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy.

Second, I like the premise. He keeps reliving the same day over and over, but when he alters his actions, things turn out different. And sometimes they don’t. It’s very cool and they don’t even attempt (at least in the series premier) to try and explain why it’s happening. Other than the same day thing, it’s pretty much a cop/action show.

Third (and perhaps most importantly), you don’t have to watch it on TV! On the ABC website you can watch the show in it’s entirety for free the next day. That’s very cool. The only thing that would be cooler is if they released it as a video podcast. I wouldn’t mind getting the thing automatically. But that’s just lazy old me. For now I can live with streaming it off their site.

You can watch several of their popular shows like that (Grey’s Anatomy, etc). If you are like me and can’t find the time to be shackled to the archaic teevee, you should check it out.

I hope all you non-turkeys out there have a great day with friends, family and other assorted loved ones. Eat, drink and be merry.

If you do happen to be a Turkey-American, well, um… my condolences to you and your family. In fact, let’s extend those condolences to all Stuffing-Americans, Cranberry-Americans, Potato-Americans and Pumpkin Pie-Americans, too. Your sacrifices are acknowledged and appreciated.

God bless America and pass the gravy.

I share my idea on how to become history’s most popular president.

This is a video to the song “Makeshift Patriot” by Sage Francis:

Put this one into the books, we will call it the First Rule Of Online Names:

Any online name that ends in the number “69″ indicates that you are dealing with a complete jerkoff

Though there are still votes to be (re)counted in MT and VA, the Democrats seem on the verge of taking both houses of Congress.

Thank God. Maybe now we can start taping our Constitution back together.

I’ve hit upon the surefire way to make a million bucks. I’m gonna sell golf balls.

I got the idea from this quote (via billmon):

Dubois put an exclamation point on their sentiments when he said the group, after seeing McCaskill, planned to memorialize the president during their golf game that morning. “We’re going to call every golf ball George Bush” and hit it, said Dubois, a retired contractor.

I’m gonna start a George Bush line of golf balls. I mean the ad campaign writes itself:

Get George Bush Balls,
because it’s all about improving your lies.

For the first time in my life I am going to go to the polls today and vote a straight Democratic ticket. I’ve never done it before because I’ve always thought myself non-partisan. I like to weigh the pros and cons of each candidate and decide from there.

That doesn’t work here. And when I say “here”, I mean America.

In the two-party system we have, too often the majority gets to decide who does what task. They appoint the committee heads and whatnot. So even if a Republican Senator seems more level-headed than his thorazine needing Democratic opponent, your vote for him is a vote for having Bill “Schiavo intervention” Frist as the Senate Majority leader. Which is a bad, bad idea.

Yes, there is something broken in a system that makes voting for a syphylitic maniac a better idea than a smart and respectable leader. Because your junior maniac might keep someone else’s senior maniac from ruining the economy, eroding our civil liberties and shredding our constitution. It’s a horrible, but necessary, trade-off. Maybe someday we will develop a system that efficiently promotes the competent and hard-working to these positions and not just filling these spots with the latest member of the twisted aristocracy who gets a megalomaniacal bug.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that “they are all bad”. That is definitely not true. There seem to be a fair number of competent and hard-working politicians these days. The trouble is, they are fighting to be elected, not retaining their incumbency. And the ones that have been elected have to fight to be heard over the clamor of idiocy that the media promotes these days.

So, to wrap up, go vote today. But as you vote, think of the overall picture of what you are getting if your guy wins. Will it help you? Will it help your loved ones? Keep these in mind as you cast your ballot.
