Mike's Blog Round Up
I'm Manila Ryce from The Largest Minority, and anyone who says otherwise is trying to trick you.
It's Thanksgiving here in the states, so let's take a look at A Native American View with a post from 2000. It was written pre-9/11 which means it's probably very inaccurate. Read with caution. After showing our thanks by consuming copious amounts of food, we then consume more the following day. One Kucinich intern has a different idea for Americans on the largest shopping day of the year.
It's well known that Conservapedia was created to counter the left-wing bias of reality, but did you know that it's also the airport bathroom of the internet? A Capitol Idea (or two) informs us that 9 out of 10 of the most viewed pages on Conservapedia are about homosexuality! Now that's a whole lot of gay. Something must be done to cure these sinners of their conservatism.
With the unbiased reporting the Western media is known for, you no doubt know that Hugo Chavez is not just a leader with virtues and faults, but an insane dictator. His most recent acts of insanity? Protecting gay rights under the Venezuelan Constitution and breaking strict religious laws at the OPEC summit in Saudi Arabia. He's as threatening as all the other leftist leaders. What leftist leaders you ask? Nevermind.
Since we're on the topic of media coverage regarding the images of politicians, while completely disregarding their policies, let's journey over to The Daily Banter, where Ben Cohen looks at one of the miscellaneous "experts" in the corporate media and her hack opinion of the Democrat whose Neocon policy is most worthy of serious criticism.
Quaker Dave is back and it's worth mentioning. He hasn't been able to blog lately because he's been sick with leprosy and his fingers keep falling off. Even typing with his tongue, he's already informed me that Bjork and I share the same birthday, so we're pretty much meant to be. I hope she doesn't wear that swan dress to the wedding. That's what I'm wearing.

Say what you want about Hugo Chavez, but he hates Bush, and 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'.
I hope he pisses in Bush's shoes the next time they meet.
I'd give thanks for Indictments...

Wow. A Democrat with some guts:

Someone told me she was born in Canada. Figures. That means she can't run for President...
(Thanks for the mention, Manilla.) :)
Why would a Native American view on Thanksgiving be inaccurate because of 9/11 ? Or any American's view for that matter ?
Doubtful Americans will modify their "habits" anytime soon.
A condensed version of the Indian version of Thanksgiving is:
A bunch of pale convicts landed on Mother Shore, chopped up our birds, made us eat them, and told us to bow our heads and give thanks.
Then they stole Mother's lands, and rivers, and seas, and lakes, and mountains, and told us to live in deserts and swamps, and give thanks.
Then they slaughtered Mother's buffalo, and deer, and elk, and antelope, and even her rabbits, and told us to eat lizards, and give thanks.
Now, many years later, we have learned the ways of the pale felons, and we own many boxes that have handles and capture the pale faces' money, and tables on which they roll the bones, and we steal their money, and tables on which we shuffle the cards, and steal their money, and we call these things 'Shafts of Thanks', and we give them to the Pale Felons.
The ghost of Jerry Falwell was scheduled to appear at the ceremony celebrating the donation of the second book to Pat Robertson's Regent Law School library, but the ceremony had to be delayed until they widened the Law School Library door so Jerry could squeeze through it.
(It was the New Testament, in case you're curious)
Seems to me the country has reached the point to where it's nothing more than a colossal circle-jerk. Where little to no progress is made.
U.S. Ships Refused Entry to Hong Kong By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

'Experts' on MSM are like 'Meteorologists'.
'Meteorologists' are folks who got drunk, passed out on the ground or beach, came to with the sun blinding them, realized that they had seen the sky, went down to their local cable station, spelled 'sky' (on a multiple-choice test), thus qualified as 'Meteorologists', and began their storied careers.

I'm thankful for people like that!
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while riding in a motorcade in Dallas.
Suspected gunman Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the 36th president of the United States.
Look out, bloggers, the republicans have discovered the web, and are starting to make inroads, even, in fact, developing new applications.
Their first major accomplishment was to invent 'Virtual Toe-Tapping', which has become all the rage in the republican Senate caucus, to the point where many senators are missing roll calls, and developing carpal tunnel syndrome, although, strangely, only of their dominant wrist.

It's about keeping our motor vehicles running.
A great idea for Black Friday, is to gather everything you purchased from Wal-Mart during the past year, return it all for a refund, take the refund money and donate it to the charity (or candidate) of your choice.
Do you know how much better you'll feel, and how much less crap you'll have to clean or maintain or store?
You know those giant 20+ packs of toilet tissue they sell? Ever noticed that many of them read 'Made of 100% Recycled Paper'?
Well, if Wal-Mart balks at accepting the return of your used toilet paper, just tell them to recycle it.
L.A. Confidential @ 16:
Or it could be because the moon is almost full.
Preacher Boob @ 17:
That is a great idea. Convincing and motivating the it's all about me-me first crowd to participate is another matter.
Talk about discrimination, what's all this 'Protecting Gay Rights' crap.
What about 'Protecting Gay Lefts'?
Ever notice how everything that seemed utterly normal to us suddenly appears alien and threatening?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

L.A. Confidential @ 19:
I was not kidding. I have a big bag of stuff sitting next to the front door, ready to take to Wal-Mart when they open at 5AM tomorrow. And I'm not going to spend a penny there, it's all coming out with me. I'm going to donate to my party. (The Contrarians, in case you haven't guessed)
Preacher Boob @ 23:
I hear you recently I have been sitting around alot wondering what in the hell I'm going to do with all the "useless junk" and crap I have stored and laying around I was somehow convinced at one time had long term value. It's a freaking nightmare.
L.A. Confidential @ 21:
You mean how, for the past seven years, more so lately, you pause a nanosecond before using the phone, or turning on the PC, or watching the news, or deciding what's true, and real, and what's a figment? (Yours, or someone else's)
L.A. Confidential @ 24:
Don't know what to tell you except suggest you read George Carlin's diatribes on 'Stuff', it might put you on a different track, if you're ready.
Preacher Boob @ 26:
Here's a weird, illogical, irrational play on words I have found to be true: The less room you devote to 'stuff', the more room you have to expand your mind.
Damn that leprosy!

Doesn't surprise me at all...not considering the fact that at least one experimental study has been conducted suggesting that homophobia may indeed be a cover for bisexual and/or homosexual inclinations which someone is unable to consciously accept in himself or herself. A couple of years ago, researchers conducted a study in which homoerotic imagery was shown to an experimental group of men with homophobic views and also to a control group of men with no such prejudices. Guess which group's members were significantly more likely to evidence sexual arousal in response to the homoerotic imagery? Hint -- it wasn't the control group...
ZapPow @ 5:
Because 9/11 changed everything. Didn't you get the memo?
Bluestocking @ 29:
personally I'm surprised that conservapedia is still around, do they still have the entry about the tree-squid :D
Chaves?
dictator.
no thank you.
Too bad Bush didn't start out on Presidential training wheels, like running Venezuela.
He'd be a dessicated corpse hanging on a Caracas lamp post by now.
Nobody Asked Me, But...
I'm Banala Spacie from The Smallest Majority, and if anyone says different, they're trying to fool us. We are responsible for the two terms of G.W. Bush, and if you feel fear and loathing about us, we understand. The way things have turned out, we feel some regrets, and I'm here today to tell you how to avoid the recurrence of this debacle.
If you are sub-par in intelligence, mentally-challenged, have issues with rational cognition, or are just plain nuts, DO NOT VOTE! YOU are responsible for Bush, and by now you must realize that bashing your head against a rubber wall, 24/7/365 is preferable to the past seven years of 'Irreality' under The Dummy.
Now we're not trying to duck responsibility by pointing the finger at you, we share the disgrace. We should have had the foresight to exterminate all of those psychologically deformed enough to fall for the 'Aw Shucks' campaign approach of Bush as guided by his 'Brain', Karl Rove. ('Bush's Brain', what an oxymoron, that's what Rove is).
Anyway, not only would such an extermination have brought 'Peace on Earth', but after all the bodies finished decomposing, it would have helped our global warming disaster and been great for the 'Green Movement'. With almost 50% of the population 'disappeared', life in the US could have become bearable, even enjoyable, again.
Opportunity lost, that's the story of our existence. But we here at The Smallest Majority wanted to apologize, and announce the we are disbanding, shout 'Mea Culpa', and promise to do our best to avoid recurrence of the Bush abomination.
(Excuse me a moment, our lawyers are waving at me..........)
OK, we have to make this disclaimer: If you vote for Giuliani or Clinton, all bets are off, and we take NO responsibility for the future .
Just when I thought Chavez was loosing it he goes and restores my faith in him...
