Hannity and the Scary Clowns

Watched a few minutes of Sean Hannity's Fox "News" interviews of the Iowa Republican candidates last night. Caught some comments of two of the scariest loser clowns, Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann. Santorum should be in a sanatorium for proposing thoughtlessly an unprovoked attack against Iran. This pro-death asswipe is supposed to be a Catholic? Sick! He was asked what he thought about Ron Paul calling him a liberal. His response (and I paraphrase) was that Ron Paul was from the "Dennis Kucinich foreign policy left-wing" of the Democratic Party, so how can Ron Paul call him a liberal? Well, maybe we should just quote Ron Paul to find out what he meant:

"He voted to double the size of the Department of Education. He voted to expand Medicare and add free drugs for senior citizens and he has voted for foreign aid. Those are not conservative principles. Seventy-seven percent of the American people are opposed to foreign aid and Rick Santorum has voted for it every time it's come down."-Ron Paul: Santorum is 'very liberal'


Sean Hannity the neocon fool just continued on after that without pursuing what exactly Ron Paul was talking about. As a militarist scumbag, Hannity really only considers someone "conservative" if they support a massive and bloated military budget and aggression all over the world. He seems not to care about much else, and doesn't seem to mind a candidate who is otherwise a big spender of your tax dollars. The irony is, even on defense and war and foreign policy, Ron Paul IS MORE conservative than anyone else running. You have to go back to before the conservative movement was taken over by neocon loons, but still...


And speaking of loons, Bachmann said Ron Paul would do nothing about Iran until Iran launched a nuclear weapon at the U.S. In other words, until Iran decided to commit suicide, for why else would they launch one warhead at America, the strongest military power on earth with a nuclear arsenal large enough to destroy Iran completely? Again, however, Hannity didn’t challenge this nonsense at all.


But Ron Paul, of course, is the one with loony, “fringe” ideas.

So Maybe Troy Holm Will See Those Comments After All

I just posted about this but here's another take by Andrew J. Hicks:

Troy Holm is a balding fireman who used to write a blog called Examining My Dance Pattern. Troy’s favorite topics of discussion — picking up beautiful ladies, lying to beautiful ladies so he can have sex with them, getting drunk and working as a fireman. It was a pedestrian little Tucker Max-lite blog.

Every now and then, Troy Holm would spice things up by posting entire Stanhope routines, transcribed word for word, while never acknowledging Stanhope as the source. Don’t you remember the rules? High school English? It’s okay to use someone’s words if you tell us you used them. Pretend those words are yours, and all lit geek/indie comic hell can break loose.

It’s semi-fascinating to look at the comments section for Troy Holm’s “Working Hard/Prison/Drug War” post, which has been up since July 15, 2010. On July 16, one woman commented on the blog post. On July 18, Troy Holm left a single reply comment, acting as if the words in the post were all his. Then the post sat idle for 18 months. Suddenly, commenters (825 so far) began to explode with scarlet-letter rage and indignation. Troy, they’ve said, is a “plagiarizing shitstain,” “unoriginal twat” and “talentless turd.” (One of my favorites: “I bet you say shit in ‘Borat voice’ at parties too.”)

Troy Holm’s Facebook profile pics have also suddenly become riddled with venomous words from Stanhope fans. Troy has a receding hairline, so read the comments and you’ll see 100 bald insults that are damn near the same joke. (Guys writing unoriginal, hacky bald jokes to insult a dude who got caught stealing words from a famous person? It’s an Inception-level mindfuck!)

Best of all, Stanhope’s army of followers was tipped off to Troy Holm’s existence by Stanhope himself. Stanhope left at least one comment on Troy’s Facebook profile (“I Know What You Did Last Summer”) and shared a link to Occupy Troy Holm, a Facebook fan page that picked up 850 likes its first hour. Spend 10 minutes hitting Pg Dn every four seconds, and you’ll find some good roast-type jokes — mostly in the C- to B+ range — at Troy Holm’s expense.

Whether Troy’s blog or Facebook profile will still be active by the time you read this, it’ll be interesting to see how much more cyberabuse this man takes and how far up the media ladder this story will get before it quickly fades. But remember, kids, no one likes a plagiarist. But if you must plagiarize, please plagiarize someone more obscure than Doug Stanhope.-Stanhope Gets Troy Holmed

US has imposed sanctions against Iran because Tehran opposes American hegemony.

Iran has successfully test-fired two long-range missiles on the last day of major naval exercises in the international waters of the Persian Gulf. This comes amid mounting Western pressure on the country over its nuclear ambitions. Tehran says it's ready to counter any attack by enemies like Israel or the United States. Iran has also angrily reacted to new U.S. sanctions targeting its central bank and financial sector. It has been threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz - the world's most important oil export route linking the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile the EU is mulling an embargo on the purchase of Iranian oil, and a decision on that is expected before the end of the month.-http://youtu.be/3m5HRO9VfX4

Doug Stanhope on War, Troops and the Military





Doug Stanhope and the Plagiarist

To know why I love Doug Stanhope, you only have to listen to one of his routines:






So, on his Facebook page he links to a blog post from some idiot passing off a Stanhope bit as his own material and states:

This fuck stealing my stuff verbatim and passing it off as his own writing. Please ruin his day.


Here's the post: EXAMINING MY DANCE PATTERN: Working Hard/Prison/Drug War

That post is from July 2010. Stanhope's comments are from yesterday. If you go to the main page of that jerk's blog, you'll further notice that he hasn't posted anything new since November 2010. He apparently just abandoned his blog (and with good reason). Perhaps Stanhope finally discovering the plagiarism should serve notice to all you worthless "bloggers" out there to either delete your blog when you get tired of it, or at least enable comment moderation so no one can leave comments in your absence pointing out what a douche you are.

As for "ruining his day", however, it probably wouldn't phase him if he did read the comments (original post comments: 2, current number of comments after Stanhope's link: 851 and growing) and he may never see them at all as he appears to be completely inactive on the blog.

Stanhope's approach is the right one, however, and it's too bad he didn't find out about the fraud at the time. The best way to handle some loser's real plagiarism, where they use someone's words verbatim and don't acknowledge the true author, is to shame and ostracize them. We don't need copyright laws to do that. Plagiarism is an ethical issue and speaks to one's character, but it shouldn't be a legal issue. There is also a big difference between copying someone's work and republishing it, and presenting it as if you wrote it yourself.

There is a lesson here for anyone not bright enough to write their own stuff. At least if you're going to "steal" from someone, hide it a little better by rewriting it and adding your own take. I mean, come on, even a loser like Troy Holm (the blog "author" who Doug Stanhope is having a field day with - see Occupy Troy Holm-) could manage a minimal amount of hidden theft. His problem was he was just too lazy to bother.

Your Heroes At Work

Support the troops? No, fuck them all! Murderous filthy bastards! The sickest thing is the support they get from American "Christians", who wouldn't truly understand the teachings of Jesus if every red letter in the New Testament bit them on the ass.

Here are some of of your "heroes" having fun with a sheep:




Sheep not enough to move you, you troop supporting asshole? How about a dog.

Killing things is such fun and a barrel of laughs! Support the troops!
