I knew the Argentinian pipesman would come up again.

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

This dude has been found by the aggregation websites. The more retarded among them think this man makes fetish videos. This is not devotion to a fetish, but to serious comedy:


Suppose for one second that he was actually making these videos for fetish purposes; do you know of any porn stars that work that much? Know anyone that smokes that much? He hasn’t even been a youtube member for one year. That means he’s making 20 or more videos per day. To suffer the annoyances of youtube through even 100 videos shows dedication; to have created thousands of videos is on the level of something that happens only in William Gibson novels.

He subscribed to my youtube channel a few months ago. His videos are endless and hilarious and mysterious. I didn’t say anything until now because I thought it was a weird dream I had.

He’s one of today’s most viewed comedians on the site now.

Black President Fever Manifest: Inalienable.

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

We did it. We might have a second chance at being the future again. Actual (positive) history managed to happen right before our eyes. With el negro presidente, we actually qualify to be the United States depicted in comic books and science fiction. This is our legacy.

There’s much too much for mostly everyone to absorb. What a crazy year and then some. Tonight a crowd in Chicago amassed that was larger than the previous largest Chicago crowd I’ve ever witnessed. That previous crowd protested a wrongful war. Tonight’s crowd celebrated that very same war’s inevitable end, as the tip of an iceberg of progress.

New generations will never understand things we barely understood. They will be bewildered at our dark age of civil wrongs. The era will retire in history books, and be rarely read by future generations. Eventually, we will have completely moved on, and transformed once again into an ever more close-to-perfect union. We the people can continue our history of being the greatest experiment in rebellion the world has ever witnessed, with true freedom and equality as our standards of modern manifest destiny.

Or, if you believe the complete dipshits on television, the size of the government will double in the next six months, immediately after the minimum wage doubles. The politics of horseshit is dying. It has lost an information war of attrition. Modern young people see through old tricks, and armed with a level of apathy-turned-cynicism that could only be brought about by our last decade, they have no interest in a governing construct that serves nothing but itself. People understand that the government is theirs, and that they pay for it. They realize now that a political campaign can be honorable. We know the high road is virtuous.

As with every major political shift, there will be cultural changes. Rigid, stubborn ideas of old will fade and become even more obsolete than they were in the fucking 1990s. New waves of popular culture will happen as a result of today’s historic event. The internet will transmogrify old media by smashing it through the spaghetti factory. With a government that understands and embraces newer technology, we are on the verge of things we literally cannot imagine because they have never been experienced. This is our history, and this is our future.

We are overlooking a very bright horizon. It is blinding in one sense, and yet in another blindingly inspiring. All of the talk over the years of being unable to beat a broken system and being unable to overcome tightly held power is at an apparent impasse. We have shown ourselves and the world that we understand the condition our condition is in, and we’re ready to act upon it.

Imagine 60,000,000 Americans with elephant guns. Bill Hicks be avenged.

Yes we can. Yes, we did.

fiction is lying songs hour: Episode 00I

Monday, October 6th, 2008

I have a continuation of the old show now. It’s called the fiction is lying Liecast Music Hour, and it’s coming to you in v0 quality thanks to the lame internet. Put it on your mp3 player because you can because it’s the future.

in which is discussed what I’ve been doing since the last show, and focusing on what I’ve been listening to since the last show Also I talk about making videos; that seems a little recursive or regressive or something.

Slight format change warning: this show is more songs than the old show, but I definitely talk my face off as well. It is a damn music hour with me by the fireplace. And that one song is not really from anytime near when I was sick; I was just listening to it around then (obvious).

We don’t have a fireplace anymore. We have slugs, but haha no sales tax so fuck you slugs I have 7% more money now!

I have tagged or categorized it (I don’t even know how this shit works at this point) according to content.

You can make a difference this election!

Monday, October 6th, 2008

You can decide something this November. You will decide something this November. You will determine in a voting booth something that is more important than I could express in common internet folk-speak. This is a very crucial moment.

Rarely do Americans really get a chance to make a difference. Rarely do we have a time in history when Rome is so on fire that even the firemen can’t go in to save it because they don’t have health insurance. You can help save a fireman and change the world. This year you have a voice, and an important choice.

Previously, people didn’t listen to me. Look what has happened. Our financial markets are in ruin while a profiteer’s war rages on. Millions go without the basic tenets intended to make life in the United States fair and balanced. This is serious. It is up to you to save the world, country, and more. Don’t let me down again. We can do it together.

This November, if Barack Obama is elected to be president, I will redesign this website.

Seriously. Save that fireman.

(It should be noted that the last presidential election killed this website.)

Next Chapter.

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

And this is where people of sound mind who understand the importance of raw, unrelenting, offensively sexist data and move on to the next chapter in what will be the greatest thing on television in 2008:

If you’ve always not cared about politics, this is the time to be reminded why about half the time and completely confused at what you’re hearing the other half. If you’ve been cynical about politics the past ten years or just have some suspicious fondness for Reagan you can’t explain, this is time to watch the best reality tv since the 80s.

If you’re a fan of information, history, debate, civics, economics, war, skepticism, technology, nuclear power, or generational culture pattern shifting, you might be less disappointed than you’d expect this year.

The most important attack ad of the year.

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

This election is about serious issues. Seriously, it’s so fucking serious that I am letting myself put videos of two different sizes here at the same time. This is atrociously serious.

It’s time to get serious.

Oh, and we can’t forget Bill Clinton’s endorsement of Barack Obama:

Liberal still isn’t a bad word.

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

In case you haven’t been reminded the past few years (or specifically, since you gave up on everything on November 2, 2004), this little blurb from the kos (by Dan Kurtzman, from his book) is a nice refresher. If you’re like me, you completely shut off the sound or even mention of bullshit lib/con wars years ago when those assholes stole the country again, effectively destroying what I hoped would be the best decade of my life. Anyway:

Liberals believe in clean air, diplomacy, stem cells, living wages, body armor for our troops, government accountability, and that exercising the right to dissent is the highest form of patriotism.

Liberals believe in reading actual books, going to war as a last resort, separating church and hate, and doing what Jesus would actually do, instead of lobbying for upper-class tax cuts and fantasizing about the apocalypse.

Liberals believe in civil rights, the right to privacy, and that evolution and global warming aren’t just theories but incontrovertible scientific facts.

Liberals believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment that (1) prohibits another Bush from ever occupying the White House, and (2) prevents George W. Bush from ever becoming baseball commissioner before he does to our national pastime what he did for America.

Liberals believe in rescuing people from flooded streets and rooftops, even if they’re too poor to vote Republican.

Liberals believe that supporting our troops means treating our wounded vets like the heroes they are, and not leaving them to languish in rat-infested military hospitals under the outsourced management of incompetent cronies who think they’re running a Taco Bell franchise.

Liberals believe in pheromones, sex ed, solar panels, voting paper trails, the common good, and that, no matter how fascinating a story it may be, a president should never sit around in a state of total paralysis reading “My Pet Goat” while America is under attack.

And above all, liberals believe that it’s time to come together as a country and put a collective boot in the ass of shameless conservative fearmongers, hate merchants, and scapegoaters who are sucking the freedom out of all our souls.

I felt that was a nice reminder as to why we’re involved so much right now. You are still licensed by law to be enraged at the state of your country. Just as I am licensed by virtue to be enraged at the state of American health care and samaritanism. Like I’ve been saying for a while, this year’s fight is a complete downhill battle. Let’s just be sure to do our fair share and win it, and win it clean to rub it in. Then maybe we can pawn off this cynicism for some idealism and maybe progress.

Most important is that we always keep Fox News on the air to prove our dedication to reason and the First Amendment, in reverse order. Also for comedy.

Ok. we now return to the anti-Hillary stuff.

The Wisconsin Obama Reality Check.

Monday, February 18th, 2008

The ass-end of this speech makes up for not being able to keep up for a few days.

These points are all solid and the idea of real hope in a cynical nightmare government is refreshing unhorrible. What is anyone doing right now but talking anyway? It’s goddamn talking season; we have to hear about these things.

Incidentally, he stole a huge part of this speech from a friend that steals large parts of his speeches. Oh nos plagerism!

/update .sig “CHECK US OUT ONLINE”

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

I have updated my sig to increase heavy webs traffic. Tubes be slightly lubed and warmed and damned. Click it to see the not-crushed-by-wordpress sized image.

check us out online

This will increase immediate revenue streams, which should offset the recent effects on the household of the current mortgage crisis and stumpfucking recession.

Not really. This is not-for-profit. Also, the website just got vandalized back to normal. Graphs were taking nosedives.

Super Tuesday. Unifying for progress…what is this hippie shit?

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

I’m biased.

Barack Obama, Old State Capitol, Springfield, Illinois

Tomorrow could be one of the biggest days in what will be our generation’s history. I talk about it too much already, so I promised I would keep this one brief (I lied). Also please don’t assume I’m jumping on some sort of endorsement bandwagon here, as I totally don’t care about endorsements outside of entertainment and I think it’s important for everyone to talk about this crap with everyone.

It is important that everyone makes time and goes to their polling place and sticks four fingers into the system that has been fucking up their lives for the past few years. The only way to beat this system is to use it; this is a basic fact of American civics.

I want to also note that it is particularly important for anyone under 25 to get the hell off of their lazy asses and just go to their polling places tomorrow and vote. Look up where it is, stop whining about it, and go do it. If you are an older person that cares about the horrors of government and interact with the 18-25s regularly, inspire them. Make it happen.

As for me, I will be representing my home state and the man whose birthday I stole next week (who understood the concept of inspiration as catalyst) by voting for the guy that announced his candidacy in the same place as some of the most eloquently backhanded speeches ever have been delivered.

I have been talking about this quite a lot over there on the twitter, but it’s not about buzzword bingo or hot shit trends or bandwagon bumblefuck. This is about reform that will relieve the poor of the rich’s burden (without empty leftist rhetoric promises). It is about technology not scaring off the elderly Washington geriatrics. It is about SERIOUSLY TECHNOLOGY IT’S THE FUTURE. It is about taking our country back from companies and stockholders by using it against itself. It is about diversity and proving to Negative Nancies™ that our country really has come this far.

I am a skeptic leaning far into the realm of cynicism. That cynicism is a result of the past seven years, and I don’t consider it permanent. I looked into this guy and the whole behind the scenes mess, and I said fuck libertarianism for a couple years if this will actually improve life. I genuinely think it will, and that is after excessive cynical review. I am much more surprised than I am proud to report that the state of Georgia agrees.

It is time to move on and up. This rutwalking can finally end with thinking positive, and I say that with the most respectably desperate tone possible. I already voted for this guy in Illinois, watched what he did after that, and now I’m going to vote for him again. Thank you for listening.

Supplemental: Here is a very detailed, objective assessment of Obama that I admire.

YouBama.

Ok, I know the name is weird and stupid, but this is a grassroots political support campaign on crystal meth. A site that strictly entertains videos of the Obama supporting persuasion, with no other rules. A truly democratic (hackable!) voting structure pushes popular shit to the top. The introduction:

It may seem obvious that years of experience in national politics would be the best preparation for the White House, but it’s not the case.

Look at two presidents who had the most political experience when they took office: Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon. They had great experience, but they weren’t the greatest presidents. On the other hand, look at two presidents who had the least amount of experience: Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Now, decide if you want to vote just for experience or for the better candidate.

Weird defense to the experience thing, but an interesting statement of support. The consists of videos of all walks of Obama-supporting life. It combines YouTube with a sort of digg-like voting structure to support the candidate said to be most tech-savvy (he’s not scared of technology?! what!?).

Here’s hoping internet people understand that it’s up to them to get outside and make the magic spread from internet to their jobs and schools and prisons and churches and bars and all that. Talk about this shit in public; it is a public affair.
