Obama says in Chicago.

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Right, so I think it’s important to note that no other candidate talks about political and government reform. Meanwhile, this one guy is tired of the same old shit. From here:

Barack may be inspiring, and we may like his ideas, but he hasn’t been in Washington long enough. He hasn’t been stewed and seasoned long enough. We haven’t boiled all the hope out of him.

There’s a lot of connections being made here. It’s seeming less like impractical idealism and more like urgent reality by the day.

Huckabee’s Fully Theocratic.

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

I no longer consider Huckabee a respectable candidate for president. I barely did before, but this is enough:

We’re not electing our pastors, priests, preachers, reverends, rabbis, shamans, mysticismists, or teachers here. We’re electing someone to manage a large part of the that godless heathen called the government. It cannot be tainted by one nor all religions.

Can we ever elect a speech giver again?

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

After the rhetorical nightmare that has been the last seven years of ill-delivered mushmouth lies, can we elect someone that can hire speech writers or even deliver the speeches they write?

Obama says yes.

This election is great. The internets has turned it into a goddamned jungle gym of interesting things where previously only stood boring cardboard cutouts made of recycled newspaper from the 1950s. They report shit like sports on tv, and there’s hell of pornographic levels of numbers for statistics fags like me that love to plow into a watershed of bubbly phantom bits of information.

p.s. Clinton read her speech.

“Buy the slaves and release them.”

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

Could such an oddball but somehow sensible concept have prevented the Civil War? Ron Paul thinks so. After all, every other country did it without a civil war…

Driving from Illinois to Georgia, we saw someone with a Ron Paul bumper sticker somewhere in Tennessee. I didn’t think those existed in real life irlstyles meatspace.

Today the only other place on the street that was open was that huge coffee chain. Dude that is always there was talking Ron Paul with a customer.

Could an internet subculture be much much huger than the mass media portrays it? Yes. Would this be one of those cases? That question is why this is interesting.

Ron Paul sky spam.

Friday, December 14th, 2007

The internet, unhappy with its futile Ron Paul spamming campaign, today launched a large flying object into the sky to spam the heavens themselves with Ron Paul mindshare.

This election is comedy gold.

The Internet Effect Supplemental: Ron Paul note.

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

“He misconstrued my beliefs.” – Ron Paul re: John McCain attacking him at the Republican YouTube debate.

I am amazed at his stickiness. He seems to attract the undercurrent need of prototypical-American freedom in people. He brings up fundamental American issues that effect everyone (and always have), has interesting and different things to say about the junk topics being portrayed as the platform, and can even handle serious modern issues. His statements are all theoretically solid. He interests people that aren’t interested in politics. The dude sounds like Thomas Jefferson.

I’m wondering what kind of insane explosion an internet movement can cause in a real live grassroots campaign.

It’s worth noting I still don’t consider anyone ready to receive votes. I could be convinced though.

Addendum: hahah caught this related thing right after I made this.

The Internet Effect: Re: Ron Paul.

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

You people out there; you know who you are. You are mentioning Ron Paul in every messageboard reply, in every dumb profile, and in every blogtastical entrifimication. Please stop it. He’s great. We know. That’s enough.

Repeatedly mentioning Ron Paul in everything on the internet is just going to make people react to Ron Paul in the same manner that they react to advertising. People will utter “ugh” and be reminded of the band The Eagles, and they will then proceed to dislike Ron Paul. It will backfire. Don’t overmention Ron Paul. You’re not even Republicans, and neither is he.

Please, internet. I implore you to hear my cries and stop mentioning Ron Paul like you’re some sort of motherfucking balls-deep, black-ops, brainwashing secret forces type of bullshit. You’re not brainwashing anyone or convincing them to vote for Ron Paul. You’re just being repetitive and annoying, and it will effect Ron Paul negatively. You are not tricking anyone.

Sadly, I offer no links to back up these statements about Ron Paul. Like it or not, he’s a serious motherfucker with crazy new old ideas.

Election ‘08 status: Still writing myself in.

Kittens, war, horror.

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

There’s a problem in our country today. That problem is war.

Kittenwar is a website where kittens fight to the death. Seriously. You can contribute to the slaughter right now. Vote on it. It’s appalling.

These cats are dying and people are just sitting there, ignoring it.
