Saturday Morning Cartoons

You know who sucked a lot? The Nazis.
Now that I've gone out on such a limb here is a propaganda cartoon by Walt Disney from 1943 called Education For Death: The Making of The Nazi

This film was released when Disney, fresh off the bomb that was Fantasia (at the time)needed more money and so, according to Wikipedia, "Nearing bankruptcy and faced with a strike that left less than half of his employees on the payroll, Walt Disney was forced to look for a solution to upturn the production of the studio. Because of the physical closeness to the military manufacturing giant, Lockheed Martin, it allowed for the U.S. government to offer Disney a contract for 32 short propaganda films at $4,500 each which would create work for his employees and in turn save the studio"

So we can thank this little gem for allowing us to have, Alice in Wonderland, Lady and The Tramp and Sleeping Beauty (I think after that point the ship would've righted itself) and it is kind of a gem. Even though the material and story are as grim as you can get (expectedly), the animation is superb and the Sleeping Beauty vignette is actually kind of funny. Though it always troubles me that in 1943, when everyone must've known about the concentration camps and atrocities and other cruelty that Hitler was portrayed as an object of farce and ridicule instead of an object of malevolence.
But from 1943 here's "Education for Death: The Making of the Nazi"




And I guess I'm just maybe a little naive or I'm of my time and place but it never made sense to me how a whole nation could hate so thoroughly and vitriolically...until I saw some of the propaganda the Nazis offered to the smallest and most impressionable of their citizens like this cartoon
or saw this 1940 film about Jewish Immigration

and read The Poisonous Mushroom

It still doesn't make sense to me, but I guess I understand if this is all you see and are raised on from the time you can think, well...there would be little hope.
Ugh; I feel sick and it is too early for this; I'm sorry.
So mommas don't let your kids grow up to hate

It Must Be Hard To Be A Racist

especially nowadays.


I do wish I could find the lyrics to that song by Kevy Nova though
Or I wish now that I’ve found them that they weren’t all in Caps

IT MUST BE HARD TO BE A RACIST, HARD TO BE A WHITE SUPREMIST
IT MUST BE HARD TO BE A BIGOT AND HAVE SUCH A TINY PENIS
YOU HAVE TO WORK A LOTSIE JUST TO BE A NEO-NAZI
AND IM SORRY THAT YOUR PENIS IS SO SMALL

YOU REALLY HAVE MY SYMPATHY, YOU LITTLE, SCARED NEO-NAZI
YOUVE LIVED IN FEAR FOR ALL THESE MANY YEARS
AND NOW THE ONE THING SMALLER THAN YOUR TINY, LITTLE FIREMAN
IS THAT THING THAT YOU KEEP BETWEEN YOUR EARS

IT MUST BE HARD TO BE A RACIST, HARD TO BE A WHITE SUPREMIST
IT MUST BE HARD TO BE A BIGOT AND HAVE SUCH A TINY PENIS
YOU HAVE TO WORK A LOTSIE JUST TO BE A NEO-NAZI
AND IM SORRY THAT YOUR PENIS IS SO SMALL

SO LETS BLAME THE BLACKS AND ASIANS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CAUCASIONS
AND DONT FORGET THE JEWS WHO OWN THEM ALL
WELL BLAME THE GAYS AND HISPANICS, THE MUSLIMS AND THE CATHOLICS
WELL BLAME THEM CAUSE YOUR WEE-WEE IS SO SMALL

IT MUST BE HARD TO BE A RACIST, HARD TO BE A WHITE SUPREMIST
IT MUST BE HARD TO BE A BIGOT AND HAVE SUCH A TINY PENIS
YOU HAVE TO WORK A LOTSIE JUST TO BE A NEO-NAZI
AND IM SORRY THAT YOUR PENIS IS SO SMALL
YES, IM SORRY THAT YOUR PENIS IS SO SMALL (NOT REALLY)
AND IM SORRY THAT YOUR PENIS IS SO SMALL, YOU LITTLE PRICK!

Ow, that hurts my eyes. Sigh, oh well.
All that being said of course spewing racist propaganda is incredibly easy. It practically writes itself:

All my life, I dreamed of writing racist propaganda, but I was always too scared to try. I came up with every excuse in the book: I lacked the necessary education, I wasn't a good enough writer, I didn't know enough racial slurs. But then, one day, I gave it a whirl, and you know what? It was easy! The hateful rants just poured out of me and onto the page. I'm telling you, this racist propaganda practically writes itself.

Sure, going off on the niggers, Jews, and towelheads is easy enough when you're knocking back a few Coors Lights with your buddies at the Triple Dice Bar. Me, Frank, and Curtis, we can jabber on for hours about how the spics are taking away all the construction jobs. But to actually organize your ill-informed opinions into a coherent, well-structured screed on the printed page, well, that's a whole different animal.

It all started last Friday night down at the Triple Dice. As we're knocking a few back, Frank goes on one of his tears about affirmative action, and how the blacks are these lazy fucks who don't value education and just want everything handed to them on a silver platter—and he knows what he's talking about, too, since he has a sister who lives by Detroit. Whenever Frank gets on a roll about the blacks, I always say we should write it all down, but we never do. This time, though, he was so on fire, I started scrawling down his rant on a cocktail napkin. Within a few minutes, I had about eight napkins worth of primo bigotry. If I hadn't been so trashed, I might've asked the bartender for one of those paper placemats to keep going.

The next day, after I got over my hangover, I thought I'd try writing sober. Wouldn't you know it, I had six pages on the so-called "American Indians" and how they're all drunks on welfare before I finished my cup of coffee. I even had a World Book encyclopedia sitting next to me, in case I needed to look things up, but I didn't have to crack it open once.

Now that I've finally done it, I've learned that the hardest part about writing racist propaganda is simply getting started. A friend of mine, who's written some eye-opening stuff about the Italians, once told me, "You just gotta get that pencil moving." You know what? He was right! It was so simple, I can't believe everyone with two brain cells to rub together isn't doing it.

To pen virulent, racist dogma, I always assumed you had to read a lot of history books and keep up with the news. Or at least read more than just Motor Trend and Hustler. But the reality is, you don't. My friends and I have been giving each other all the information we need through our beer-soaked speculating and finger-pointing. The morning after a long night of drinking, I may not remember half of what Curtis said about the Pakistanis taking over his neighborhood, but half a truth is better than the hundreds of lies you get from the Jew-run liberal media.

Fucking Pakistanis.

One of the best things about racist propaganda is that it only needs to seem to make sense. The barest threads can tie the Emancipation Proclamation to the Elders of Zion. I mean, look at them. They both start with "E," don't they? And that was just off the top of my head. And if someone starts to argue with you about facts, just call them a nigger-lovin' faggot-queer Jew, and that'll shut them up real quick.

Another great thing about writing racist propaganda is that you don't even need to know how to write all that good. There are computer programs that'll correct most of your grammar and spelling mistakes. And if I need to find another word for "gook," my handy slang dictionary gives me zip, gink, and slope. It's true: The only thing stopping you from realizing your dream of becoming a writer is your own fears.

The bottom line is, all you need to write racist propaganda is a pen, some paper, and a refusal to take responsibility for your own problems. Most folks probably don't write because they think it's only for people with reasonable arguments and an open mind. But it's just that kind of thinking that keeps a lot of decent, honest, God-fearing racists from sharing their crackpot theories.

Christ, if I can do this, anyone can. Believe me

The Downfalls

"My Faith is gone!" cried he, after one stupefied moment. "There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devil; for to thee is this world given."-Young Goodman Brown


Anyway I meant to do this a few days back but, I get side tracked. But I learned in this NY Times article that today was the day 75 years ago that the Nazis came to power so I thought it only appropriate and providential that now I share The Downfall

I first learned of this phenomenon when someone sent me this link about HD-DVD and Bluray

I actually thought that was a legitimate web video made by Blu Ray or one of its companies (or something) because it seemed like something that would be done but then a few days later after the Cowboys lost to, I think the Giant,s I saw this on a Sports Illustrated affliated site

And it was this that made me realize that this was some kind of internet fun toy and so I did a minimal amount of snooping and found all these other parodies
For like the Wii


Something about Microsoft

Hitler’s stolen car

some theatre in Perth (the Dream Theatre)

MySpace

AC Milan losing the Champion’s League final to Liverpool

And even in Chinese


And probably more and more popping up every day (I did not realize there were so many when I started this post)

But here is the actual scene from The Downfall, the movie about Hitler’s last days in the bunker and his death and…it really makes me want to see this movie (and apparently it’s absolutely amazing- I wish I had actually heard of it before)

And is it a coincidence that 75 years after Hitler and his great evil came to power that America’s last great hope had to step aside for others, including another “unifying” demagouge?

I’m not saying, just saying

(Sorry, I’m not pro-Hillary, necessarily, I’m just intensely anti-Barack)

Who Said It: Bush, Hitler or Barack?

I think I first had the idea about this when listening to some old interview with GweeB about being an outsider and of course being a uniter and it reminded me of Barack Obama (or maybe the other way around) …and in some way to Hitler (another "uniter who didn't turn out so awesome.)
SO I though this would be an interesting and fun enough experiment to have a few quotes from each demagogue and see if you can tell who the speaker(or writer) was; George Walker Bush, Adolf Evil Hitler or Barack Hussein Obama (and though I’ve removed some Proper nouns which would make this incredibly obvious the meaning in each statement is still there) I may do an answer key but the fact that one may actually be needed proves whatever (delusion/exaggeration) point I have.
And feel free to leave your thoughts/guesses in the comments.

1. That's what I want to do. In the course of the campaign, it's the first thing I want to do. The second is to elevate the discourse. I'm not going to participate in the old Washington, D.C., game of gossip and slander.
2. Second, I showed the people of [my state] that I'm a uniter, not a divider. I refuse to play the politics of putting people into groups and pitting one group against another.
3. People are very hungry for something new. I think they are interested in being called to be a part of something larger than the sort of small, petty, slash-and-burn politics that we have been seeing over the last several years.
4. During the course of the campaign, I didn't talk about the past; I talked about the future.
5. The answer to anybody's anxiety about me is in my deeds and actions. I have a strong faith. I am a religious man. I believe in Christ, and therefore my actions hopefully reflect a heart that cares for others. I understand good people can disagree on issues.
6. It is essential that the next president be someone who understands America has an important role to play in promoting peace and to encourage others to understand the value of freedom, of free speech, free religion and the importance of the rule of law.
7. But most importantly, the question each candidate must answer is whether you are prepared to bring dignity and honor to the office to which you have been elected.
8. I think what's important is how much a person actually cares about other people. I got into politics because I do care about other people.
9. I believe in self-reliance and independence, but I also believe we ought to help those in need, people who can't help themselves.
10. It is either meant to be or not meant to be, that's how I view it. I feel pretty free. I'm a competitive person, but I feel free about it, because I'm a person who never grew up thinking, "Gosh, if only I'm my eighth-grade class president, I can parlay this into becoming the president of the United States."
11. I think we all agree, the past is over.
12. …Because he knows what many younger Americans know. We can do better in Washington D.C. We can have new leadership in Washington D.C., leadership that will lift this country's spirits and raise our sights. [He] knows what thousands of other youngsters know, that just because the White House has let us done in the past, that doesn't mean it's going to happen in the future
13. The people and their soldiers are working and fighting today, not only for the present, but for the coming, nay the most distant, generations. A historical revision on a unique scale has been imposed on us by the Creator. …
14. I didn't wake up when I was 15 years old saying, I really want to be president. I didn't feel that way at 21, 31, 41.
15. People shouldn't vote for me because of my religion.
16. If freedom is short of weapons, we must compensate with willpower
17. And my job -- my job -- is to convince the American people I've got the judgment, the decision-making capability, that I'll bring a good administration of smart, capable people to Washington, that I can change the culture to get something done.
18. My message is to the people. And my job is to convince them I've got the judgment and the decision-making capabilities and the wisdom to become their president
19. Well, I'm just saying, you can disagree on issues, we'll debate issues, but whatever you do, don't equate my integrity and trustworthiness to [the current president]. That's about as low a blow as you can give in a primary
20. [My wife’s] got a common sense about her that I obviously found appealing and still find appealing after all these years of marriage. I do trust her judgment. She's got -- she can read people well. And she's very much a part. She knows exactly what's on my mind.
21. Faith is not just something you have, it's something you do.
22. But the second thing was, can an administration change the tone in Washington? And I believe the answer is yes, I do. It's going to take a lot of hard work. But a president can help purge the system of this kind of "gotcha" politics and pile-on politics
23. I will set a tone that is different from Washington, that says we can unite rather than divide, that this kind of finger-pointing and tearing down -- you know exactly what I'm talking about. I mean, it's just a bitter atmosphere.
24. I begin with the young. We older ones are used up but my magnificent youngsters! Are there finer ones anywhere in the world? Look at all these men and boys! What material! With you and I, we can make a new world.
25. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit
26. And I gave a speech to the National Committee fund- raiser, and I said both folks are to blame. I mean, there's blame to go around. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be, you know, kind of mired in this type of environment forever.
27. And I think I'm going to win, I do. I can feel it out there amongst the people, because they want something different. They're looking for somebody who can unite our nation and set a different tone in Washington.
28. We want the people to be peace-loving, but also to be courageous.
29. I think there's a lot of kids who are disillusioned right now. I frankly think that what's taken place in Washington the last couple of years has tended to disillusion children and young voters.
30. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot just so long as I'm the dictator
31. I say: my feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Saviour as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and of adders. . As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice
32. If freedom is short of weapons, we must compensate with willpower
33. So we have come together on this day to prove symbolically that we are more than a collection of individuals striving one against another, that none of us is too proud, none of us too high, none is too rich, and none too poor, to stand together before the face of the Lord and of the world in this indissoluble, sworn community. And this united nation, we have need of it.
34. We too, have deep in our hearts our own faith.
35. If we pursue this way, if we are decent, industrious, and honest, if we so loyally and truly fulfill our duty, then it is my conviction that in the future as in the past the Lord God will always help us. In the long run He never leaves decent folk in the lurch. Often He may test them, He may send trials upon them, but in the long run He always lets His sun shine upon them once more and at the end He gives them His blessing.
36. God helps only those who are prepared and determined to help themselves.
37. In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it
38. If positive Christianity means love of one's neighbour, i.e. the tending of the sick, the clothing of the poor, the feeding of the hungry, the giving of drink to those who are thirsty, then it is we who are the more positive Christians.
39. The judgment whether a people is virtuous or not virtuous can hardly be passed by a human being. That should be left to God.
40. [I] never lost my belief, in the midst of setbacks which were not spared me during my period of struggle
41. If a nation forgets itself as completely as [we] did at that time, if it thinks that it can shake off all honor and all good faith, Providence can do nothing but teach it a hard and bitter lesson. But even at that time we were convinced that once our nation found itself again, once it again became industrious and honorable, once each individual … stood up for his nation first and not for himself, once he placed the interests of the community above his own personal interests, once the whole nation again pursued a great ideal, once it was prepared to stake everything for this ideal, the hour would come when the Lord would declare our trials at an end.
42. I may not be a light of the church, a pulpiteer, but deep down I am a pious man
43. I am now as before a [Christian] and will always remain so
44. Politics is history in the making.
45. One of our most important tasks will be to save future generations from a similar political fate
46. The [colonizers] have carried to these (colonial) people the worst that they could carry: the plagues of the world: materialism, fanaticism, alcoholism, and syphilis. Moreover, since what these people possessed on their own was superior to anything we could give them, they have remained themselves... The sole result of the activity of the colonizers is: they have everywhere aroused hatred
47. Parallel to the training of the body a struggle against the poisoning of the soul must begin. Our whole public life today is like a hothouse for sexual ideas and simulations. Just look at the bill of fare served up in our movies and you will hardly be able to deny that this is not the right kind of food, particularly for the youth … Theater, art, literature, cinema, press, posters, and window displays must be cleansed of all manifestations of our rotting world and placed in the service of a moral, political, and cultural idea
48. Faith is harder to shake than knowledge, love succumbs less to change than respect, hate is more enduring than aversion, and the impetus to the mightiest upheavals on this earth has at all times consisted less in a scientific knowledge dominating the masses than in a fanaticism which inspired them and sometimes in a hysteria which drove them forward
49. The desire for freedom resides in every human heart. And that desire cannot be contained forever by prison walls, or martial laws, or secret police. Over time, and across the Earth, freedom will find a way.
50. I do believe in the sanctity of marriage. ...But I don't see that as conflict with being a tolerant person or an understanding person.
51. Our economic dependence depended on individual initiative. It depended on a belief in the free market; but it has also depended on our sense of mutual regard for each other, the idea that everybody has a stake in the country, that we’re all in it together and everybody’s got a shot at opportunity. That’s what’s produced our unrivaled political stability.
52. We have to put a stop to the idea that it is a part of everybody's civil rights to say whatever he pleases.
53. Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. ... Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
54. Throughout American history, there have been moments that call on us to meet the challenges of an uncertain world, and pay whatever price is required to secure our freedom. They are the soul-trying times our forbearers spoke of, when the ease of complacency and self-interest must give way to the more difficult task of rendering judgment on what is best for the nation and for posterity, and then acting on that judgment – making the hard choices and sacrifices necessary to uphold our most deeply held values and ideals.
55. But today, our leaders in Washington seem incapable of working together in a practical, commonsense way. Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can't tackle the big problems that demand solutions.
56. I know that I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington, but I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change. People who love their country can change it.
57. For a people, as for an individual, it is tragic to have ambitions and to lack both the means essential to their fulfillment and any hope of acquiring those means.
58. So what I have to do is just make sure that I'm delivering the message that we think the American people are ready for, that we want fundamental change, not just tinkering around the edges. I think the country wants to be brought together; they want to get past the petty partisan bickering. I think they want a politics that gets beyond sort of the special interest-driven politics that we've become accustomed to.
59. We are a people of different faiths, but we are one
60. Let us pray in this hour that nothing can divide us, and that God will help us
61. The Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.
62. We want honestly to earn the resurrection of our people through our industry, our perseverance, our will.
63. Whether it's Vietnam or the sexual revolution or civil rights, you know, we have been caught up in the same old arguments for decades now. And one of the strong beliefs I have about this campaign is that the country wants to get beyond some of those conventional, partisan battles and cultural wars, and start solving problems.
64. I just want all of you to pray that I can be an instrument of God. . . We’re going to keep on praising together. I am confident that we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth.
65. My faith plays a big part in my life. And when I was answering that question what I was really saying to the person was that I pray a lot. And I do. And my faith is a very, it's very personal. I pray for strength. I pray for wisdom. I pray for our troops in harm's way. I pray for my family. I pray for my little girls.
66. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.
67. I am a Christian.… So, I have a deep faith. I'm rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.
68. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there's an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived
69. After all, the problems of poverty and racism, the uninsured and the unemployed, are not simply technical problems in search of the perfect ten point plan. They are rooted in both societal indifference and individual callousness - in the imperfections of man.
70. What's relevant is that I have learned from any mistakes that I made. I do not want to send signals to anybody that what [I] did [some] years ago is cool to try.
71. Life is hard for many, but it is hardest if you are unhappy and have no faith. Have faith. Nothing can make me change my own belief.
72. Solving these problems will require changes in government policy, but it will also require changes in hearts and a change in minds.
73. Like no other illness, AIDS tests our ability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes -- to empathize with the plight of our fellow man. While most would agree that the AIDS orphan or the transfusion victim or the wronged wife contracted the disease through no fault of their own, it has too often been easy for some to point to the unfaithful husband or the promiscuous youth or the gay man and say "This is your fault. You have sinned." I don't think that's a satisfactory response. My faith reminds me that we all are sinners.
74. God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know He is on the side of justice. Our finest moments [as a nation] have come when we faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizens, and for the people of other lands.
75. History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy.
76. We have a stake in one another ... what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart, and ... if enough people believe in the truth of that proposition and act on it, then we might not solve every problem, but we can get something meaningful done for the people with whom we share this Earth
77. Human aspirations are universal-for dignity, for freedom, for the opportunity to improve the lives of our families.
78. Let us recognize what unites us across borders and build on the strength of this blessed country. Let us embrace our history and our legacy. Let us not only define our values in words and carry them out in deeds.
79. And it indicates that people are really ready for a message for change. What they want is somebody who has a positive message, who has a tone in their politics that says, "We can disagree with the other side without being disagreeable."
80. We have a long history of reform movements being grounded in that sense often religiously expressed that we have to extend beyond ourselves and our individual immediate self-interests to think about something larger.
81. Our values should express themselves not just through our churches or synagogues, temples or mosques; they should express themselves through our government. Because whether it's poverty or racism, the uninsured or the unemployed, war or peace, the challenges we face today are not simply technical problems in search of the perfect ten-point plan. They are moral problems, rooted in both societal indifference and individual callousness--in the imperfections of man. And so long as we're not doing everything in our personal and collective power to solve them, we know the conscience of our nation cannot rest.
82. As I travel around the country, people have an urgent desire for change in Washington. We are not going to fix anything unless we change how business is done in Washington. Part of that is bringing people together. But part of it is also overcoming special interests & lobbyists who are writing legislation that's critical to the American people. And one of the things I bring is a perspective that says: Washington has to change.
83. There's a way to accomplish the separation of church and state, and at the same time, accomplish the social objective of having America become a hopeful place, and a loving place.
84. My stepfather said, "Men take advantage of weakness in other men. They're just like countries in that way. The strong man takes the weak man's land. He makes the weak man work in his fields. If the weak man's woman is pretty, the strong man will take her. Which would you rather be? Better to be strong. If you can't be strong, be clever and make peace with someone who's strong. But always better to be strong yourself. Always."
85. What I'm talking about is ending the divisive politics that we have in this country. I think it is important for us ... to be clear about what we stand for. But I think we also have to invite [the other party] to join us in a progressive agenda for universal health care, to make sure that they are included in conversations about improving our education system and properly funding our public schools. I think turning the page means that we've got to get over the special interest-driven politics that we've become accustomed to. And most importantly it's important for us to make sure that we're telling the truth to the American people about the choices we face.
86. You know what's interesting about Washington? It's the kind of place where second-guessing has become second nature.
87. America has never been an empire. We may be the only great power in history that had the chance, and refused – preferring greatness to power and justice to glory.
88. …The God I know is one that promotes peace and freedom. But I get great sustenance from my personal relationship. That doesn't make me think I'm a better person than you are, by the way. Because one of the great admonitions in the Good Book is, don't try to take a speck out of your eye if I've got a log in my own
89. I believe that God wants me to be president.
90. I know that change is possible. I know where hope leads us. The only reason I'm standing here before you is because of hope. I know what's possible in America. When I talk about hope, it isn't just the rhetoric of a campaign; it's been the cause of my life, a cause I will work for and fight for every single day as your president.
91. I think it is a worthy goal in America to have every child protected by law and welcomed in life. I also think we ought to continue to have good adoption law as an alternative to abortion.
92. America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.
93. For too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability. Oppression became common, but stability never arrived. We must take a different approach. We must help the reformers of the Middle East as they work for freedom, and strive to build a community of peaceful, democratic nations.
94. American foreign policy must be more than the management of crisis. It must have a great and guiding goal: to turn this time of American influence into generations of democratic peace.
95. Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world; it is God's gift to humanity.

Now, I'm not saying that Barack is like GWeeB or Hitler but I'm just saying.
I would like to point out in 2000 I called Bush leading us into a war (something about presidents from Texas) and that he was the AntiChrist so...just consider me a Erich Ludendorff

oh and Barack hates old people…not really related but I’m trying to cut back on negativity in the new Year so I had to put that out there now in this dying polluted one.
Now, talk amongst yourselves.

Boyz II Men are Jewish?

well that was random; who knew? where did that come from? when did that happen?and almost as shockingly, Boyz II Men have something to promote? In 2007?
Anyway Tyra Banks is actually breaking news and investigating something other than how to spot a weave or a fake Gucci bag. From Best Week Ever

Ok that Jews II Men joke* wasn't actually funny- I feel that Tyra may have used her crazy eyes to control the audience into laughing so wildly. And I actually wanted to know the answer as to when they converted because I am now, for the first time in like 10 years interested about Boyz II Men. But does anyone actually know?

*and to think about it in ways that I'm positive Tyra didn't think of at the time but let's not think of Jews becoming men, implying that they are not men, less than men, or subhuman (untermenschen) or are perhaps imperfect. That's just what I thought like two seconds after she said it.

{RELATED 12/26: And this is even stranger- Gladys Knight's a Mormon?! WTF?!)

Speaking of Jews and Black people and BWE (so I don't have to make a separate post)here is Craig Robinson (Darrell from the Office) getting a little steamed about being a part of "the future of entertainment" and attacking Judd Apatow, as the backlash begins

Damn, Judd Apatow has run comedy over the past like 5 years; I guess I never thought about it. But more importantly Paul Rudd is so beyond gorgeous it's distracting; totally my ultimate celebrity crush

Great. Now I'll never be able to listen to "It's The End of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" without getting nauseous and thinking about images of war and destruction,Hitler, GweeB and other unpleasantness. Now I know how Alex felt.

Oh how I did used to enjoy a bit of the old ultraviolence. not surprisingly Georgie feels fine.

Midnight Movie Transmission

This is Leni Riefenstahl's infamous masterpiece of Nazi propaganda and film making, Triumph of The Will. I thought of it today because I guess someone mentioned a similar phrase and so I googled to make sure I knew where it was from, and voila (plus I really like that title and the Nietzschaen feel to it.) The film is rightfully controversial and the speeches and ideology behind those cheering white faces are vile, horrible and disgusting but... it is art in its way and incredibly well made. And now historical and famous.
From 1935 a film praising "the return of Germany as a great power, with Hitler as the True German" Triumph of The Will

If that is/was too hard to watch just remember that the good guys won in the end and that most everyone in the film is dead.

Barack's A Nazi

in case you didn't know.


But when you think about it the signs were there all along:

The Nazis and certain Muslims in the 1940s had an alliance.
Those same Muslims eventually became the leaders and propagators of the Baath Party and its ideology.
Who was the last leader of the Iraqi Baath Party? Saddam Hussein.
What is Barack Obama's middle name? Hussein.

I'm just saying.


Good enough to Seig Heil but too good to put his hand on his heart during the National Anthem (as required by law.) For shame.

Things I Thought

i kind of wished I had written this out last night when I was more groggy and delusional because now in the light of day they just seem kind of strange.

• "I think I'm racist- all asians look the same to me"
• "I make a very bizarre looking boy."
• "God I hope I never get a Blackberry. I do not want to be one of 'those' people"
• "I still think the coolest name ever is Chase Perfect. It's not only a name, it's a way of life and plus he's actually 'Mr. Perfect,' which is awesome. Too bad he was one of those guys, one of those fratastic arrogant athlete types. But I still do love that name. I understand where the last names like 'Miller' or 'Johnson'(john's son) come from but what did his ancestors have to do to get labeled perfect? I'm intrigued"
  
• "My hatred of Barack is irrational but intense. I'm not voting for him under any circumstance. That includes against Hitler. I mean at least Hitler lead his party before the Reichstag fire and organized germany and wasn't an unpatriotic muslim plant."
• " Y'know what I miss? Overt wars of conquest. I mean back in the day people used to do it all the time but England hasn't been invaded for almost a thousand years. Now everyone just kind of cloaks their motives behind ideology, even Saddam when invading Kuwait said he was 'reclaiming it.' If we were just to say we want war with Iran so we can take it over I'd be more accepting. That way everyone can gang up against us if they want and it'll be fairer. Honesty is very important to me.
• "Tyler Hansbrough looks a lot better with a face mask. Where's G-Love when you need him?"
  
• "Where am I?" numerous times in numerous places
• "Sinbad's still alive?!"
  
• "There sure are a lot of asians around here"- upon passing through Chinatown.
• "I heart duty free shopping. I didn't even know there were Johnnie Walker Green or Gold"
• "Why is the bread so thick on this sandwich? I can't fit my mouth around it."
• " Current TV is awesome. Each documentary lasts like 5 minutes which is perfect for my attention span. Too bad I can only watch it while flying on Virgin."
• "Grandmothers against PETA-awesome. I want a monkey"
• "I want a baby. A little asian baby. I think they're so cute because they remind me of baby pandas when they smile. Soo cute."
• White kids between the age of like 6-11 are all really very creepy and evil.
  
• "A-Rod re-signed with the Yankees? Damn damn, I really wanted him on the Dodgers. Oh well, this way I can still super hate him and this means the Yankees won't win a World Series for ten years"

Google Takes The Pulse of Nations

Google has released a study showing which countries are the world's leading searchers of certain terms in a pretty fun and fascinating view of the zeitgeist. Here are some of the terms and the countries which search for them the most (as long as my totally uninformed reasons for their popularity which are the first things that comes to mind.)

"Hitler"- Germany, Mexico, Austria
(the Anschluss is still full of nazi sympathies. plus everyone loves to be rebellious)
"Nazi"- Chile, Austria, United Kingdom
(same as above but also Harry's costume may be sparking a trend, or maybe historical research because the Nazis did play a part in the British history of last century)
"Gay"- Chile, Mexico, Colombia
(either people in Latin American countries are so macho they don't know what gay is and are doing research or they're all gay and looking to hook up)
"Jihad" - Morocco, Indonesia, Pakistan
( muslims are planning a righteous war. obvi)
"Terrorism" - Pakistan, Philippines, Australia
(see above)
"Hangover" - Ireland, United Kingdom, United States
(ah- all these countries like to drink and so suffer the morning after consequences and are looking for a remedy. Notice that the Irish are the number one country in this category, not to perpetuate any stereotypes)
"Burrito" - United States, Argentina, Canada
(burritos are amazing and a perfect slacker stoner food, hence the US and Canada connection.)
"Iraq" - United States, Australia, Canada
(ummmm...Hot Shots!Part Deux?)
"Taliban" - Pakistan, Australia, Canada
(I'm sure there are a few Taliban sympathizers in Pakistan. And Canadians...like beards and are often mistaken for Talibani.)
"Tom Cruise" - Canada, United States, Australia
(we enjoy making fun of his craziness, but that was more of a year ago which is why Canada has searched him more than America; the jumping on the couch fiasco has just made it's way up north)
"Britney Spears" - Mexico, Venezuela, Canada
(crazy needs no translation.)
"Homosexual" - Philippines, Chile, Venezuela
(people in Chile are really interested in the "gay question"-see above- but it could also be a Roman Catholic disapproval like thing with the more clinical "homosexual" being searched instead of "gay")
"Love" - Philippines, Australia, United States
(the Phillipines google this to see if homosexuals are capable of love. The U.S. is finding out what the Beatles Show is about and the Australians are just lovely people)
"Botox" - Australia, United States, United Kingdom
(we're the "western world" and we have disposable income along with an obsession with beauty and youth)
"Viagra" - Italy, United Kingdom, Germany
(can't get it up. I mean have you seen their Heads of State's? Prodi, Brown, Merkel. J/K I actually love Angela)
"David Beckham" - Venezuela, United Kingdom, Mexico
(he's f*cking hot. Oh and those countries love football.)
"Kate Moss" - Ireland, United Kingdom, Sweden
(she's f*cking hot and everyone loves train wrecks.)
"Dolly Buster" - Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia
(I have no idea what this term means, but judging from it's popularity in Eastern Europe it's probably weird. And having to do with Russia or communism)[UPDATE: She's a porn star with huge boobs. That explains it.]
"Car bomb" - Australia, United States, Canada
(we all watch too much television and are paranoid. Or we're trying to figure out how to get rid of enemies.)
"Marijuana" - Canada, United States, Australia
(we all love weed)
"IAEA" - Austria, Pakistan, Iran
(Pakistan and Iran have a lot of experience with that agency and are trying to figure out ways to either start or stop impending nuclear war. Or maybe no one knows what that acronym stands for and are trying to figure that out.)
"sex"-Egypt, India, Turkey
(perhaps their countries are so sexually repressed that they search the internet for any kind of titilation or information. I'm not surprised the term searched was just plain "sex" and it was in more repressed countires. Anywhere in the west the search terms would be a lot more specific and crude. God bless freedom.)

and today I'm sure Larry Craig was one of the big things googled because of his interview last night, which I watched of course. But I realized something about how they were advertising the interview with Matt Lauer asking him if he was gay and I knew he wouldn't come out then and say he was because we already would have found out that news. Nothing that big can stay a secret from all of the editors and producers and local affliates; somewhere along the way it would have leaked. But I still watched trying to pick up a clue from his body language, his verbal language offered no clue because he is a life long politician and thus adept at lying. My favorite part was the repeated use of " the bathroom for bathroom sake" or some phrase like that.What I came away from it with was simply that it's really sad that he just can't come out. I kind of felt sorry for him. That he decided he had to live that straight life long ago and now can't escape it. That he came of age at such a time where people couldn't just be, but had to conform and get a wife who you may end up hurting. And I feel kind of bad for his wife who being the partner of a senator especially in a state such as Idaho must have built her life around him and for him to be gay would be devastating; to live with someone and think you know them so well but to find out that it was all a lie is tragic. But it's also sad that Larry is so delusional and so boxed in that he reiterated his disapproval for that lifestyle,which I think he mentioned could be seen in his voting record, there really is no way out. Though it is his grave is his own closet and he can lay in there. And I really hope he keeps fighting, for purely political reasons. If he were to resign then the appointee, if they chose to run for reelection could then point to this year of interim experience as a qualification and asset. But if Larry held onto his seat (and chooses not to seek another term as he may have said once, though his word means very little) then, though it would still be unlikely because it is such a red state, a Democrat could still have a chance to pick up that seat. I'd just repeat "republican," "bathroom," "scandal" over and over again (along with George Bush and Iraq for good measure)

(there. have I offended every country yet?)

Best Band Ever*

*according to me, at this moment, subject to change

This has been one of my favorite bands for awhile but I was kind of shying away from doing them here because they're a little depressing (and also I'm sure there are millions of people who know more about them than I and I hate being wrong) but with the post punk/new wave vibe of Gang of Four from last night (though the sounds are so different) and the fact I'm still not feeling "not dead" while the sky is still a sad shade of gray, I feel this is as good a time as any. And so Joy Division is the Best Band Ever.*

I think I first heard about Joy Division because of their connection to New Order, a band which I really enjoy, and so when I learned that New Order came from Joy Division I did my whole music research thing. But here's where my chronology gets fuzzy in my mind, whether I learned about Ian Curtis and his suicide (and mystique of dying young and alone) or whether I first heard the title of their song "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and thought it was the most brilliant thing ever. Let's go with the latter path. So this was around I think when I was going through a break up, which wasn't a break up because we didn't care about each other anymore, but that we were young and living across the country and felt it wouldn't be fair to either of us. And so I enjoyed the melancholy notion of love being the thing that can ruin a great friendship and cause irrepairbable divide. But also the fact that, as I felt at the time,relationships can induce boredom and that familiarity breeds contempt, which you can totally read in the lyrics

When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow,
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.

Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry.
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed.
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good
Just can't function no more
But love, love will tear us apart again...

Once I listened to the song though I didn't think of such philosophy rather just how different the lightness of the melody,and the acoustic sound of the first guitar strut was from what I expected out of a band led by an eventual suicide and named after those who were forced to be prostitutes in the Nazi death camps.

Love Will Tear Us Apart (download)

Once I had this introduction I was sort of drawn to their other stuff, which was how I discovered what is, according to my iTunes play count, my most played (and thus favorite) song, Warsaw, which kind of surprised me when I learned that fact but then on second sight it made sense because it has that punk feel, it's short and fast and has a nice element of singability especially for a song inspired by Rudolf Hess

3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5, Go!

I was there in the back stage,
When first light came around.
I grew up like a changeling,
To win the first time around.
I can see all the weakness.
I can pick all the faults.
Well I concede all the faith tests,
Just to stick in your throats.

31G, 31G, 31G

I hung around in your soundtrack,
To mirror all that you've done,
To find the right side of reason,
To kill the three lies for one,
I can see all the cold facts.
I can see through your eyes.
All this talk made no contact.
No matter how hard we tried.

31G, 31G, 31G

I can still hear the footsteps.
I can see only walls.
I slid into your man-traps,
With no hearing at all.
I just see contradiction,
Had to give up the fight,
Just to live in the past tense,
To make believe you were right.

31G, 31G, 31G

3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5

Warsaw (download)
which lead me to deciding they were like the greatest band ever. And as I mentioned before in this post and on this site the notion of the doomed and tragic lead singer committing suicide had a kind of morbid fascination (as did the mystery surrounding Ian Curtis' death and what in Iggy Pop's The Idiot or Werner Herzog's Stroszek made him take that final step. I couldn't find it-thank heaven.) And though one obituary said" Now no one will remember what his work with Joy Division was like when he was alive; it will be perceived as tragic rather than courageous" if you just read their lyrics it is not quite a happy picture. Here's Atmosphere (and its gray lyrics and gray video)

Atmosphere (download)
I also loved New Dawn Fades, not only for the awesomeness of the title, though that was the reason at first, or that it fit my image of them but also that guitar crunching strumming is reminiscent of a song I can't place, but one that you can hear in a lot of places.

A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.
Different colours, different shades,
Over each mistakes were made.
I took the blame.
Directionless so plain to see,
A loaded gun won't set you free.
So you say.

We'll share a drink and step outside,
An angry voice and one who cried,
'We'll give you everything and more,
The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else.

Shadow Play

Shadow Play (download)
And two other favorite songs, Transmission and She's Lost Control (which I kind of like as an epithet for myself, or at least as an excuse)

Transmission (download)
She's Lost Control (download)
And so for all those reasons, plus the fact I really am intrigued by Control (and love Samantha Morton) and the fact that to deflect criticism of his band Paul Banks said that he had never heard of them(which is a ludicrous statement for a band so steeped in that tradition) even though they're one of the most influential bands of the last 30 years, Joy Division is the Best Band Ever*

**Two ways to choose,
On a razor's edge,
Remain behind,
Go straight ahead.
Room full of people, room for just one,
If I can't break out now, the time just won't come.
Two ways to choose,
Which way to go,
Decide for me,
Please let me know.
Looked in the mirror, saw I was wrong,
If I could get back to where I belong, where I belong.
Two ways to choose,
Which way to go,
Had thoughts for one
Designs for both.
But we were immortal, we were not there,
Washed up on the beaches, struggling for air.
I see your face still in my window,
Torments yet calms, won't set me free,
Something must break now,
This life isn't mine,
Something must break now,
Wait for the time,
Something must break.

(and now I'm not actually depressed.)

Can Chris Crocker Please Go Away Now?

How long ago was the Britney VMA performance and his subsequent rant/appeal? It really seems like months ago, months that have been filled, everywhere one looks with Chris Crocker, on cable news channels, on gossip websites, on videos watched now on You Tube, everywhere in everything. It's "Chris Crocker" overkill, at least to me.
Have we reached the Chris Crocker saturation point yet? My limit is perhaps less than others (and that was reached awhile ago) and maybe it's like when a really indie band you love gets popular you kind of resent the secret being out, but I don't think that's the case. TMZ has video of him looking like a low-rent Edie Sedgwick, playing celebrity on the first trip to the city from the sticks. And now that Chris is so notorious that appeal of being a trapped lil queer ranting and acting as an escape, if he still continues it, will be false and inauthentic stripping away the very appeal of how he was. The question is can he do something else to parlay his appeal past "what are your thoughts on Britney?" (and has there been a chris crocker backlash or has that been hushed by fears that people may be accused of being homo (or trans) phobic? or maybe I'm the only one that feels this way) I don't hate the kid- I just wish he would go away and do something- maybe go to school, for when 6 months from now you're back in Tennessee (twink appeal doesn't last long)

The only thing that gives me comfort is that somewhere a clock is ticking (what minute are we on? 13?)and who, after all, speaks much today of Cory Kennedy or flavors of months past?

(you're still pretty though and your hair looks better- if that makes you feel better)

Best Band Ever*

*according to me at this moment, subject to change with notice

(I'm so tired...that post will be later on today.)
This morning the Best Band Ever* is The Raveonettes, not Rasinets those disgusting chocolate covered raisin movie candy, (I think I used to like raisins, but that was when they were claymated and reminiscent of the Four Tops, now I prefer my raisins to be grapes) but Raveonettes, a danish duo ( I think they're still a duo) who I first heard about in late 2002 early 2003. If you haven't heard of them before good ( I can try to win conversion points) anyway their music is a weird mix of like 60's girl group harmonics, film noir concepts and atmosphere and the distortion and noise of a group like the Jesus and Mary Chain. It was back in the day, when I was first learning to be a poser indie hipster that I read an amazingly solid review of them and so I decided to go to their show at the Troubadour. Well that and I was intrigued by the "gimmick" or concept/theme of every song on the album being played in the key of B flat minor. So I went and I stood on my own and I remember before they started to play there was a tall icy nordic blonde type walking around with a drink in her hand, but I didn't think much of it because this was in L.A. and the number of blondes here would be like a Nazi's white dream. Only when they got on stage, with a backing drummer and another guitarist did I realize she was actually in the band. I remember the show blowing me away, especially the songs being stretched out into masterworks of and noise, the melody slowing losing being consumed by controlled distortion (they closed the show with My Tornado and the song lasted like at least 3 times as long as the album version. Here's a shorter live version) Anyway their vocals blended and harmonized together so well (and I've decided that Sharin has the perfect image and perfect cool/droll and slightly disaffected voice and personality to be an ideal rock star at least in the alternative/noise/post punk game); it was a really great show, one where I couldn't actually hear for the next 3 or so days ( the Troub is teeny) I was so impressed by the show that I think I actually bought Whip It On at the show, not caring about the exorbitant price.
Whatever I paid it was well worth it. The songs on that album really put me in the mindset of a black and white film, wearing leather, and being in one of those scenes in a car where it is obvious the outside world is stock footage of a cityscape (Vegas or New York,) surrounded and led astray and manipulated by dames and femme fatales (Veronica Fever,) of being slightly drunk, nervous on the run but still with that cool veneer ( fully epitomized in the lyrics to Cops on Our Tails) and getting locked up in a small dusty jail(the melody of Bowels of the Beast especially, menacing lyrics notwithstanding). You may be able to get a taste of that by reading the lyrics. I think the single from this album was Attack of The Ghost Riders and you can see a lot of their ethos in this video, a homage to 50's B-movie crime dramas-those ones that would either end with an overt message or beat you ever the head with the idea that "criminals are depraved and this is the price of such a life" or something similar (which I don't think I had ever seen before this morning):

And I'm pretty certain that that is the best motorcyclist with a flaming skull clip I will ever see. But I think my favorite song on the album (which is my favorite of their albums; I guess I'm a sucker for a minor key) and the one that actually has been in and around my head for the past few days and inspired this is Beat City. The lyrics are so about the fantasy of living fast in the big city, of being a noir gangster:
Wanna die in beat city and run, run, run
Wanna hang with girls and shoot my gun
Wanna catch the rays off the sun
Wanna drink and drive and have some fun
it just really is a cool (Sin City/tarantinoesque) song one that I could see myself go-go dancing to (if I was wearing a go go outfit and suitably drunk, which would be the only reason I would be caught out in such an outfit.)

I really really like that song. I kind of wanna die in Beat City, or at least live there for a few years.
Their second album, Chain Gang of Love was recorded in B flat major (and I think I like the concept of an album being played in one key; it adds to the feel of unity, theme and connection betwixt the songs.) I remember when their song That Great Love Sound was used in a K-mart commercial and how incongruent that felt to me I can't find the exact commercial but I believe it was very sunshiny with teens in cars and being happy, which seems really far away from the lyrics and their unrequited or unequal love vibe (the way I interpreted them, though of course I could always be wrong) Not to mention the obsessiveness, anger, jealousy,and good ol' fashioned murder, satirical as it is, as seen in the video. (Beautifully shot though)

I didn't get into this album as much as I did with Whip It On (damn major keys) I guess the lyrics and their emphasis on love didn't really entrance me as much as the romanticized feel of 50's criminal cool or maybe because it's for the most part softer and more poppy but here are a few links to videos of other songs I liked on the album (though I don't know why this dude requested embedding be disabled; the visuals are not really good and it seems far from official, but the audio gives you a taste of the song) here's New York Was Great, Little Animals (mp3) Noisy Summer (mp3) and another favorite Let's Rave on (mp3) Ah, I like noise.

Finally their newest album is Pretty In Black (great name) and though at first it seemed way too girl groupy and 60's popish, it is an album that really keeps growing on me. Maybe because it feels more L.A.centric (which is always a good thing) or maybe it's because they began to use varied musical keys. Or more likely they wrote an Ode to L.A. (as well as a writing a paen or song of yearning to us Evil L.A. Girls :p ) but no matter. The video for Love in a Trash Can, which is one of my favorite videos, fits the song so well. The video seems like something from Tarantino, or that he would use as well as the song,with that surf rock feel it totally reminds me of Misirlou. But this is Love in a Trash Can

So for all these reasons, The Raveonettes are the Best Band Ever*
