Totally. Fucking. Insane. -- A Rant in 3 Parts
It's really amazing to me that the world can be as crazy as it is today. People have totally gone off their collective rockers. Cases in point:
Kim Jong-Il goes from amusing puppet to nuclear threat, and empowers Iran to continue its course. Hey, China! I appreciate all you've done for talking Pyongyang down with your softball diplomacy, while feeding them oil and food to undermine Japanese and American sanctions. That totally worked! Now it's out there that the emperor has no clothes - America certainly can't do anything, even if it wanted to (thanks to Iraq and Afghanistan) and further sanctions could risk an attack on Japan or even more likely, Soeul. So what's likely to happen then? The baby gets his bottle, and to move back to the big kid's table. Of course, the REAL solution would be to not change a damn thing, not give into the Jong-Il tantrums, wait for him to die, then reunify North and South. The end. But that would mean the U.S. loses another war, and by no means do we want that.
Republican'ts switch from revolutionaries to oppressors in just a decade. Foley's not the only problem in the party, but it's pretty evident at this time that the buzzards are circling. Will the GOP purge all gays from their party, since as illuminary Pat Robertson pointed out "[Foley] was just doing what all gay people do"? Oh, well all the gay people I know must have missed the contract stipulation (cause, you know, being gay is a choice) that they have to try and play grabass with minors. I can't wait for a Democratic congress - at least Dem leaders will be playing grabass with interns and office assistants instead.
Fundamentalist Christians make amazing leaps of logic to interpret a 2000-year-old hallucination as saying Pope John Paul II is an agent of Satan and will lead us into Hell. Seriously, the worst thing to have ever have happened to Christianity is the fucking Book of Revelations - a guy gets food poisoning and suddenly he's the foremost expert on the end of the world. It's the only thing left for the Christian fundamentalist movement to claim as its own, since every snaggletoothed backwoods preacher can liberally interpret this nonsense however the hell he wants and people will eat it up - who cares if the world didn't end in 2000? The lunatic who wrote this page has some interesting "facts" but when you're interpreting the word "days" as years, and the word "kings" as popes, ands seem to presuppose that there have been no popes before Pious XI, you're stretching just a hair. Hey, guys? Jesus ain't coming back, and if he was, you think he'd tell us? You think you can know the mind of God? Who's pumping up their divinity now?
