bill kelly: How about this. Instead of proselytizing and politicizing, we all write a check for an amount of money we can afford and send it to a legitiimate organization equipped to offer some relief for those in need?

fatherflot: Bill,
I love you buddy. I'd take a bullet for you, if it would give you a chance to play one more Chesterfield Kings or Shadows of the Knight 45. And I back you up 100% in your call for people to donate. I did it this morning and I hope every American does the same.

But don't tell me not to "politicize" this. Everything is "political" when it affects the polity. If you have any opinion whatsoever about thousands---maybe tens of thousands---of your fellow citizens dying like pigs in the middle of a major American city while Nero, Jr. dithers and spins and poses for photo-ops and waxes eloquent about the redevelopment opportunities this temporarily difficult situation presents, that opinion is "political."

Did you complain about Republicans "politicizing" Bill Clinton's blowjobs?? Distracting the President from important business like fighting Al Qaeda with utter bullshit? I don't seem to remember that post.

Since 2000, we have been living with the most blatantly, brazenly, ruthlessly "political" ruling elite this nation has ever seen. They have "politicized" everything, from supposedly non-partisan government documents (like the budget, which contains more ruling-elite propaganda than a North Korean newscast) to the fucking phone messages at the Social Security Administration, to the FCC, to 9-11 (the bullhorn photo op, the "hugging the child" photo op, the entire 2004 RNC), to lies about how Jessica Lynch was captured and released, to lies about how Pat Tillman died, to the despicable "mission accomplished" photo-op, to lies about Kerry's war record, to the Terry Schiavo melodrama, to the "purple fingers in solidarity with the Iraqi people" photo op, etc. etc. fucking etc.

Face it: much of the policy of this one-party government has been directed by the "political" calculation of a vicious, soul-dead bastard named Karl Rove who would laugh in your face if you ever suggested there was any such thing as a "non-political" person, place, thing, or event.

No one who voted for or supports this filthy, incompetent batch of robber-baron scumbags can EVER, EVER cry "don't play politics." Nothing is sacred to them---not God, not country, not the flag, not the Constitution, not life, death, war, freedom, liberty, Nothing. It's all fair game for "political" calculation. And you goddamn well know it.

Karma's a bitch: Live by the sword, DIE by the fucking sword.

holy SHIT, that's good. at least it captures my rage at all this (i've been lurking at Little Green Footballs--not recommended--which drives me up the fucking wall). thanks sooo much for the post. i'd be curious what the followup was on the message board. did bill reply?

Here's the thread, page 3. Not necessarily recommended; a lot of hot air about whether "praying" is appropriate for us cool secular humanists.
- tom moody 9-03-2005 8:35 pm

he does reply as you see. dave metal also provides good links and rational personal knowledge on the army core of engineers in this thread. for some reason which is not completely transparent, station manager ken has seen fit to bury this frequently interesting and informative message board on an obscure pull down bar on the stations main page. it may have to do with promoting their pretty ok but sparsely commented on "be ware of the blog" feature. go figga'.

What does WFMU basically do?
They distill art, technology and politics into a second-rate audio
writhing that allows the status quo to proudly proclaim
“Look, we gave ‘Them’ a chance and ALL they could do was that.”

WFMU’s motives are NOT suspect; they did, do and will serve the
Frozen Space Shuttle Launch Controllers’ agenda.

Hey Zeus Speed *BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!*

You’re 100% correct, Billy. Moi’s mo hasn’t changed; or my larry or my curly.

Like moi’s latest parody (+ many others) to the tune of George Harrison's "Awaiting On You All" (a.k.a. "Chanting The Name Of The Lord And You'll Be Free").

Here's the song, with lyrics and everything!
Well, the animated song gif didn't upload, but, the single frame is ginchy and everything!
Well, everything other than animated.

{Lyrics}

You may have a smooth grin
Your lies come out deadpan
great communicator, mental masturbator
spent a decade vegetatin’
If you open up your heart
blood will gush right out
your emotions are in your brain
not in replaceable chest spout

By chantin’ the name of old TOR and you will see
it’s worthless as chanting the name of any ole deity
when earthquakes or giant storms come from the sea
it’s as helpful as if you spent your whole life chantin’ Gumby
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

You need to cut a fart
all life needs to make gas
if you’re an instigator or alligator
you’re gonna get recycled
If you open up your heart
blood will gush right out
charge gnomes in you chest rent
‘cause they’ll never help you out

By chantin’ the name of old TOR and you will see
it’s worthless as chanting the name of any ole deity
god speed or Lennon songs in space shuttles ain’t worth a pee
when they go boom you’re toast regardless of your theology
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

You do need some shelter
reporters love helter skelter
Invest in Mardi Gras beads, not flood wall needs
and churches go a floatin’
If you open up your heart
there’ll be a blood stream
don’t let the creeps con you
with their minds so freakin’ mean

George sang, “pope owns 51% of General Motors.”
Harrison was pissed, he only owned 49% of GM stores.
Chant Jehovah, Krishna, Allah, Satan or TOR
they’re equally worthless to help you, that’s for sure.
uuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre

tralalala lala lala la

At moi's link you may also listen to "Hey! Hey! We're The Humans," and no more so than at the WFMU board, Billy.
