perfidy

No middle-aged white guy should go there. Check out the screedly ignorance from WorldNetDaily about hip-hop moon units Outkast performing at a Democratic fundraiser.

This dude has no idea who the hell Outkast is. That much is clear, or he'd have understood that Andre 3000 brandishing a pink pistol in the liners to "The Love Below" was sort of the opposite thing of what he thinks it is.

Politicians should stay the hell away from hip-hop. It makes them look stupid at best, and like grade-a buttholes at worst.

[wik] At the very least, it should be recognized by all that Outkast's reliance on sex songs means that they don't do the drug-dealing and killing songs so much. And let's not forget that their biggest hit to date was about a gentleman apologizing to the mother of his baby-mama, promising to grow up, be a good father and make with the child payments already.

That's right... it's your old buddy #4... aw, c'mon... help an old friend out? Hey... you can't just walk away like that... I used to BE somebody, you ungrateful schmendrick! Remember Miranda? Remember no-knock rules? Remember when you usedta be able to drive from San Diego to Puerta Vallarta without getting your rectum probed? You got a lot to thank me for! I used to BE somebody, dammit! Don't you walk...

Hey... come back.

Please?

[wik] In response to Buckethead's reasonable observation that this decision isn't too much out of left field, I had actually meant to tie this post to this one that weakened search-and-seizure protections in Louisiana. Two isolated decisions don't make a convincing case that the IV Amendment is in imminent danger, but this is a weblog, I'm a little hysterical, so I'm calling it like I sees it.

Via Drudge, this gem:

"I'm fascinated by Rap and Hip-Hop" said Democratic presidential candidate, John Kerry during an MTV Choose or Loose forum. Offering up a heavy dose of street credibility, Kerry defended gangsta rap, freedom of speech and the realities of street life.

The Boston-born heir by marriage to the Heinz Ketchup fortune, offered his perspective on rap music as the voice of the streets.

"I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully, 'cause it's important."

Middle aged white candidates should just not go there. Ever.

Female genital piercings will soon be illegal in Georgia. Your schlong, fine. Go ahead, get a Prince Albert, a dumbbell, get your member split in two, staple your scrotum to your leg for all we care. No problem. That's all fine by us. Just don't pierce your clit.

Why? Because it's a crime, okay? It just is. It's... its, its sick, and wrong, and I've never seen anything like that. It's wrong, and sick, and that makes it a crime, okay?

...Democrats love bumpersticker slogans. It's their major contribution to modern political discourse, after all. A little while ago he Bush-Cheney campaign had a automagic poster creator. It allowed you to enter your own text and create a customized Bush campaign poster. Naturally, many people (apparently starting with Wonkette and The Politburo Diktat but also including all these people - that last one has the biggest list) started having a little fun at the administration's expense. 

Here's my favorite:

Sadly, the Bush-Cheney campaign decided to end all the fun, and now the campaign posterator only can create boring signs with state and coalition group names. It's so boring, I won't even link it. I wrote a letter to the campaign, complaining of their lame attitude. Do they think that conservatives are incapable of keeping up with the vitriolic moonbats of the left? Are we incapable of pithy remarks? I find their lack of faith disturbing.

More of my favs below the fold.

And lastly, my second favorite:

Dodgeblogium has one of the best linkfests I've seen in a while. Rather than poach his stuff, I'll just send you over there. Klingons for Christ! Best of Me!Islamic Country Songs! Damned!

Also from Andrew, but not in that post, is a link to the answer of whether guns cause violence, and the International Jewish Conspiracy's magical demormonizer.

He's on fire, he is.

Via blogcritics I see that in Virginia, oral sex is a felony; a crime against nature. Moreover, this law's being enforced.

This morning's Charlottesville Daily Progress brings news that a 21-year-old woman found receiving oral sex in her car at 3 a.m. on January 29, in the parking lot outside her apartment building in Newport News, Virginia, has been charged with a felony under the Crimes Against Nature statute.

Her boyfriend was arrested and charged as well.

Virginia's Crimes Against Nature law states that people can't have oral or anal sex, whether homosexual or heterosexual.

The law doesn't specify whether the sex is illegal in public or in private.

Under an agreement with prosecutors, the man pleaded guilty Monday to the lesser charge of indecent exposure. The woman was offered the same plea.

If she chooses to go to court and fight the original charge, she could face up to five years in prison.

Regardless of what you think about this couple's lack of discretion, this is utter looniness. I don't like a world where the paranoid dystopian fantasies of the likes of "The Handmaid's Tale" seem prescient rather than laughable.

Too often critics of the Bush administration try to conflate America's rising moral dunder with the President's administration, (of course, there's a case to be made, there), when such charges just makes them sound like rabid Bush-haters. No, regardless of who the damn President is, I have a right to make sweet love to whomever I want in whatever way I want! What the hell is going on in this country?

Yet another reason on the growing list titled "Why I Will Never Live In Virginia Again No Matter How Pretty It Is In The Spring."

Fecking Crimes Against Nature.

I (Ross) am editing this entry slightly, because the image it contains is very disturbing. Look beneath the fold for the image, but be warned.

AP reports that Sunni residents of Fallujah mutilated the corpse of an American citizen killed in an attack yesterday.

Later, they hung the bodies from a bridge over the Euphrates.

Residents cheered after the grisly assault on two four-wheel-drive civilian vehicles, which left both in flames. Others chanted, "We sacrifice our blood and souls for Islam." 

Yes, you do.

Especially the latter.

It occurred to me, reading Johno's recent post on the New Puritanism, that we have options.

We could:

• Use the Agreed Alternative Cursing Standard (AACS), where fork=fuck, spoon=shit and dog=god. Along with defending any use of "dick" as someone's name, and "ass" as referring to a donkey, this method covers the vast majority of American English cursing.
• Use the Johnny Dangerously System, where farging=fucking, ice=ass, and bastiches=bastards/bitches. And you can always throw in jokes about last names being adverbs.
• Or we can tell the FCC to fuck off, go to hell, and realize that most of the cretins in this soceity are not going to stop dropping the f-bomb every third word just because they levy thousands of dollars in fines on Janet Jackson and Howard Stern, or that we won't realize what is going on behind the filmy curtain of the "bleep."

The producer of the famous "girls gone wild" tapes has been accused of rape.
