Regrettably enough it's - Terry Schiavo Part Deux

Now that the ol' girl has been put out to pasture and the media whores and the politicians will have to move on to other diversions, will the real issue here be discussed? Terry Schiavo was a victim of Cosmo, Vogue and all of the other various media that portray the proper female body image as one of a waifish, junky-esque, near dead skeleton. Here at Billy Blog Bob, we've touched on this issue before following Christina Applegate's appearance on the Leno show. I just wanted to throw that out there.
The answer to the question is, of course, no.

Holy Moly, Batman!!!

It seems that a fellow I know over at www.dannydoom.com has begun an interesting series regarding the national shift toward whacked-out extreme religious, uh... EXTREMISM. These are indeed pretty frightening times for those of us who believe in weird mystical shit like progress, education and, most SATANIC of all!, SCIENCE!
Here in Texas they have some pretty interesting state laws like the one that states that a human being is defined as being a living individual the moment conception takes place! I ain't a shittin' you! So consider this: a young lady is pregnant and she does not take all of her pre-natal vitamins and doesnt' follow the strict advice of her doctor. If she miscarries, will some whacked-out Christian nutfuck be able to bring murder charges against her?
There is also a law that says that if you are a pharmacist, and you object to using birth control, you can refuse to fill a prescription for someone you don't even fucking know!
Mr. Doom may be interested to know (since he made fun of TX, God how I was hurt) that in Illinois they have an even more whacked-out law, called a "conscience law" whereby a doctor can refuse to perform any procedure on any individual! What ever happened to the Hippocratic Oath?
It's kinda funny how you haven't heard so much from Mssrs. Frist, Exterminator Man and W about Terry Schiavo since the polls have come out. Hey, dipshits! Even a majority of Evangelical Christians disagree with your hypocritical BS!
Despite that, we've only seen the beginning. Teachers are afraid to teach the "Theory of Evolution" around these parts. Got news for you, psychos, the argument that it's only a theory based on a few facts is pretty funny, considering that Creationism ain't based on any facts at all!

FACTS, not DOGMA!

Dead

Dr. Tom Delay:

If I'ma fixin' to die, let me fucking die. Mr. Delay, sir, such as it is, if I can't feel my balls, let me fucking die. I don't care how many scandals you are embroiled in or what the opinion of the vast majority of Americans is or what Florida senate seat is at stake, just let me fucking die. I may wink, on accident, or my left toenail may reflect magenta, but still, I beg of you, just let me fucking die. Please, please, please, put your scumbag, bullshit, cockroach-eradicating-ass-politics aside for two seconds, and just let me fucking die.
God bless, and in Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Not Shit to Say Today

It's nice out. Went to SXSW last weekend. There is only one thing to say about SXSW:

THERE WERE A LOTTA FUCKING ROCKERS!!!!!

I think that the total value of tattoos in Austin from Wednesday through Sunday was probably somewheres in the neighborhood of 420 billion dollars. Oh, wait, that's another figure I got from somewhere else. Whatever. Here's what there is to do at SXSW:

1. Wander around in a drug and alcohol induced haze
2. Watch bands
3. Eat food
4. Look at girls
5. Wander around in a drug and alcohol induced haze
6. Avoid the camera crews
7. Watch bands
8. Wander around in a drug and alcohol induced haze

That was about it and it was a lotta fun.

Roids

I haven't been much of a baseball fan for many years. When I lived in Minnesota in 1991, I followed the Twins pretty closely. That was the year that the Twins met the Atlanta Braves in what many say was the best World Series in baseball history. Of course, the Twins won it amidst the homer hankies in the god-awful Metrodome. I used to get free Cubs tickets when I worked at the Chicago Board of Trade from the broker I held paper for. I could put my elbows on the first base dugout. What a fucking treat that was! One of the best ballparks in the country, with the best seats! Anyway, now there is a huge steroid controversy, complete with congressional hearings. In this, the age of a piece of shit, lying-out-his-ass president and Tom Delay, the taxpayers are paying for an investigation into steroid abuse by baseball players. Pretty pathetic and a godsend for Dick & W Inc. But god bless Mark McGwire, he says he ain't naming names. Jose Cuntseco should learn a lesson from Mr. McGwire. Then you got Sammy Sosa up there saying he never used roids. That's bullshit and everyone knows it. Quite fitting for a congressional hearing. Why can't we have some semblance of honesty and integrity? Not in baseball. Just another sign of the decline of the American colonial empire.

Tom Delay

He don't represent me, Pete Sessions does, but he's got a lotta power there in Washington. Have you ever seen the guy. Ickie, ickie, yuckie-yoo! He'll make your skin crawl. The former pesticide salesman just looks like a slimy, scummy person. You could just see him, battling roaches in the dankest, darkest basements. You go after what you know, I guess. There was an episode of Nightline the other night that had Angelina Jolie on describing the good works that she is doing for the people in the world that Tom Delay, Dick & W Inc. and most Americans couldn't give a shit about seeing that they don't have any oil. Anyway, there was a scene in which Ms. Jolie was meeting with "The Hammer". She visibly recoiled at the sight of the man! It was quite a TV moment that I wish I had on tape. So I wrote a little letter to the editor about him, and since they never publish my letters, I decided I'll start doing it here, on my own, for the benefit of ALL my loyal readers:

I felt that it was necessary to direct Dallas Morning News readers' attention to a report released by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. CREW has found that Rep. Tom Delay has accepted a total of $24,000 dollars in campaign contributions from corporations and executives who sell pornography. Interesting, given the pronouncement by the thrice-rebuked Mr. Delay that pornography is a destructive force in society.

Plastic Mask-Wearing Distubing Freak

Well, I finally gave in today and read my first story about Raggedy Andy's trial on that wonderful purveyor of racist articles and bullshit, Yahoo! News. Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that this guy is a predator, a sex offender, a fucking raper of children? With the limited access that we all have to the goings-on in this trial, I can, with a certain amount of personal experience in these matters, pinpoint the exact behaviors that attest to this black "man" who would be white's guilt. No, I was never the victim of such abuse. I had the pleasure of working in an institution that provided long-term residential "treatment" for juvenile sex offenders for about two years. There are several things that strike me about Mr. Andy's behavior. His obvious need to control the proceedings by delaying the trial for a week and then today he comes into court in pajamas stating that he has "back problems". The judge ordered that Raggedy show up in an hour lest his bail be forfeited. Raggedy Andy still shows up after that deadline passed and the judge lets him get away with it! Mr. Andy is also fond of doing dance moves during the proceedings and talking to his son, Prince, who is present, yes he is!, in court. Then you get to the Jesus Juice. Jesus drank wine, and so can you little boy. But, Raggedy Andy, I only have one kidney. Shut up Child!, drink that shit, Mr. Andy needs to get his groove on!!! Raggedy plied the child with liquor, then told him not to tell anyone about it. What else did the living doll do? He groomed the victim. That's "treatment" parlance for manipulated and tricked the victim by pretending to like him. He also gave the victim a watch and a black jacket. I know that Raggedy Ann's brother is innocent until proven guilty, but damn it's awful hard to ignore some of this guy's behaviors.
I guess we'll find out in, oh, another four months or so.

Here is a photo of the exhibition on the plaza in front of Dallas City Hall. A lot of the right-wing, whacked-out nutjobs here in Texas had a huge problem with this exhibit.

THEY ARE DYING FOR THE OIL THAT YOU CONSUME IN YOUR MASSIVE BIG DUMB YELLOW RIBBON BEARING TRUCKS YOU STUPID FUCKERS!!!!

Monkey Update

Oh, yeah, and Buddy and Ollie fucked up the guys balls, too. Vicious, but well deserved.

AND THE PRIMATES SHALL TAKE THEIR REVENGE ON ALL OF HUMANITY!!

CALIENTE, Calif. - Two chimpanzees broke from their cage at an animal sanctuary Thursday and attacked a couple who were visiting another chimp that had been removed from their home years earlier for his own aggressive behavior, authorities said.

Seems that the chimps, Buddy and Ollie, took exception to the fact that this dipshit who was keeping one of their own as a pet was there at the zoo with birthday cake and didn't bring any for them! Buddy and Ollie then tore the guy's face off.
The moral of the story: wild animals don't belong in cages, don't feed 'em birthday cake and they certainly shouldn't be kept as pets.

Eyes Wide Open

Went and saw an exhibit entitled the above "on yesterday". (that's Ebonics, don't you know) A pair of boots representing every single American soldier killed in Iraq was placed in the plaza in front of Dallas City Hall. Quite a beautiful place with a killer view of the downtown and Reunion Tower. There were 1499 pairs of boots. There was also a memorial to the anywhere from 14,000 to 100,000 depending-on-who-you-talk-to Iraqi citizens who have died as a result of Dick & W Inc.'s desire to bring democracy to the Middle East. And if you believe that one, I got some land in Florida that would be perfect for tract home development for sale. There was a similar exhibit that Billy Blog Bob saw last year in Chicago, with one huge difference - there are a helluva lot more boots out there now. I took some pictures, and if I ever figure out how to do it, I'll post 'em.
