When Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity Speak, A Third Person Cries

Yesterday, IWS’ beloved Jayman wrote about his sadness.  He waxed poetically, about how social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook break Jayman’s heart.

Well folks, let me tell ya.  Matt-Man too, has suffered some of the same virtual slings and arrows that have pierced the pride, self-esteem, and psyche of Matt-Man’s friend, the Jayman.

And, much like Jayman…when Matt-Man gets annoyed and/or on rare occasions, angered, he too, begins to speak and write in the overly annoying third person style.

Matt-Man hates it, but he can do nothing about it.  The third person takes over the Matt-Man, and Matt-Man simply has to allow it to run its course.

And to underscore this theme…Matt-Man, much like his buddy Jayman is pissed about some of your actions on Twitter and Facebook.

That’s right, Matt-Man has problems with some people.

Take for instance, one Allison Dickson…Oh my Lordy!!

Matt-Man and her have been friends for years, until?

Matt-Man asked on Facebook…

“Why do networks like NBC have Rachel Maddow on to talk about birth control?  It’s like asking Oscar Wilde about the benefits of vasectomies.”

Holy Cow, instead of responding with a good reason for NBC putting on a non-sperm loving lesbian like Maddow to spout why contraceptives should remain legal and accessible, the Dickson chick, shouted down the Matt-Man by saying something insignificant and defriending him AND, IWS on Facebook.

Hell NBC would have been more on target by bringing on the only man on Cable TV who has a vagina to discuss birth control, one, Cavorter of Catholicism, Sean Hannity

Matt-Man says virtually, and posthumously, (not because he died, but because it sounds good), “Grow Up.”

Matt-Man can’t help it…He loathes the agenda rich Maddow, and hates far left loons and much as far right loons.  Matt-Man wants to find an acceptable center…

A center where the personal privacy of peoples is respected.  Where people can do what ever the hell they feel like, if it doesn’t affect anyone else.  A center where…

Lifestyles, social mores, and tenets of faith or no faith, are kept out of government, and confined to one’s heart and soul where they belong.

Folks…Yesterday, we had an official Congressional Committee hearing on contraception…The entire panel of people being questioned were, clergyMEN.

Hell…While Matt-Man is a Liberal, yet a registered Independent, Matt-Man is pissed off by MSNBC firing Pat Buchanan.  In his newest book, Pat derided the guilt of whites and says that we as a nation are sucked in by Israel, so MSNBC defrocked Pat from being a continuing contributor.

That's Bullshit.

Y’know what Matt-Man thinks about all this hoy-paloy?

Matt-Man thinks that 24/7 news people who rail against politics on Capitol Hill never being more divided along partisan lines, fail to realize that people in America have never been more divided…and perhaps, while not more stupid than the media…just as intellectually lazy.

And…Matt-Man thinks often, especially these days, about the quote once uttered long ago by H.L. Mencken (among others in various forms)…

“People deserve the government they get, and they deserve to get it good and hard.”

If you look at social outlets like Facebook and Twitter today…Americans are as much angry as they are sensitive, and yet…

They refuse to listen to the opinions of others with whom they disagree, and will block them, defriend them, or unfollow them…Matt-Man finds that funny.  However…

That also makes Matt-Man very sad, because…

Matt-Man knows that the people in Congress are there because voters of like-mind put them there, and that Matt-Man’s friends are why we are in our current fuck-up-ness as a nation.

Too many are too far Left.  Too many are too far Right.  Yet…

In between the fringes of moronic thought...lie you, Matt-Man, and common sense.

Don’t allow idiots like Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity to squeeze us out of the nation’s dialogue.

Cheers!!

State of the Union Address 2012: Why Bother?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States…

And the joint Congress and American public go, “Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.”

Sad.

But the sadness…disinterest…malaise…or just plain, “What the fuck ever”, feeling is not without an understandable reason.

Tonight, during the State of the Union Address President Obama will say in some form or fashion as all President’s before him have said…

“The State of the Union is strong.”

Well, in my opinion, the State of the Union is far from strong, in fact, it sucks. And, I’m not talking about our economy, or our stature in the eyes of the world. I’m talking about us.

I’m talking about us as a nation of people who over the years have defeated an empire, have come together like none other, and now, after nearly 236 years of this great nation’s existence…

We argue over whether a woman has private and personal control over her own body, if a spouse has the right to let his spouse die in a dignified way, or if we should attack a country such as Iran whose military prowess is along the lines of the paper tiger that was Hussein’s Iraq.

Our nation has so many problems…from our debt, to reliance on foreign oil, to unemployment, to trying to find our markets and international place in the 21st Century.

And yet, when looking for a President and leader in our 2012 election cycle, what do many Americans look toward to guide their choice?

American History? The Constitution? Or perhaps, Common Sense? Noooooooo…

Many Americans find their safe harbors via the lighthouse of the media beacons that are MSNBC, FOX News, and some whacked out manchicks named Rachel Maddow and/or Sean Hannity among others.

Unfortunately, they seem to be the catalytic minority, and…they are what fuel the misfiring engine that is the do nothing government that we seem to have these days. Politicians want one thing, and that one thing is not to help America, it is to get reelected.

And in order to secure that end game, legislators agree with tiny minded folks, and no matter what, feed the electorate with what they want to hear in order to accomplish their unending, monetarily satisfying tenure within the once great halls of Congress.

Seriously, Mr. and/or Mrs. American Voter…you suck.

Choosing a President, taking the ten minutes it takes to vote, and actually researching who and why you want to vote for him or her has become such a chore. Because? Thinking takes time.

Millions of Americans listen to Limbaugh, Hannity, Maddow, and Olbermann because they would rather not think for themselves. They are too busy ordering pizza , texting a friend about how their spouse hates them, or playing Farmville on Facebook as they experience the virtual birth of a calf…

Gimme a break. It’s because of the laziness of the American voter that we in 2012, are left with a field of Presidential candidates of Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Paul, and Obama.

In 1800 and 1804, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson went head to head in the Presidential election, and in 2012..?

We will have either Romney or Gingrich up against Obama.

Adams and Jefferson debated over the future course this country would take in order to make our then nascent nation more successful, and 200 and some years later?

No matter who the GOP picks to represent their party, the General Election debate will center on not who will make this country greater, but rather who will make this nation less than it already has become.

Ironically, it is our forefathers who set us upon this path with the birth of herd mentality political parties. However...

While they saw political parties merely as schools of thought, Americans today see them as political Cliff Notes, and comfortable, totalitarian schools of non-thought.

Americans today don’t have time to read the entire virtual biography that a candidate may put forth; they merely want to gaze, and listen to it briefly upon 24/7 cable news, and then like Pavlov’s dogs, obediently nod their heads, and wag their tails to what they know, and agree…or bark at the screen when they don’t.

After all, thinking takes time, and there are X-Box games to be played, spouses to cheat upon, and other who are unlike you and I to mock.

I wonder about our country, and when I do , I wonder about Ben Franklin.

He drank…He loooved the ladies…He smoked…He, like an idiot, stood out in the lightning…He hung out with pigeons as he trained them, and today?

Because of all of that, he couldn’t get elected as a City Commissioner of Bagwine, Ohio.

Americans today do not like thinkers…they do not like great people…Americans like a world that is homogenous…that thinks as they do…that is uncomplicated.

And that is exactly why America, the former bastion of innovation and great ideas, is becoming second-rate as a nation, and a nation whose State of the Union is not strong.

America: It was Nice While it Lasted

Hola Bitches!

Well, America? It was fun ride. Too bad it all has to come to such a sad and disappointing end. We made so much progress for so long there too. I mean, we really did almost make it.

But, our time has passed now. Our chance to be the country we could have been, and should have been, is over. Our only hope now, and it’s a slim one, is to be able to manage our decline and avoid falling all the way to becoming a third world authoritarian shit hole.

We have a government that is fully owned and controled by corporate interests. Our elected officials are so corrupt that we wouldn’t even know where to begin if we were going to prosecute them. Hell, most the outrageous shit they do, including take outright bribes, isn’t even illegal anymore.

Our electorate is, by design, uneducated, uninformed and focused almost exclusively on process and worried that someone, somewhere might be getting something they don’t deserve to notice how fucked we all are. And we’re far more concerned about Kim Kardashian’s marriage, gays getting married, Tim Tebow and whether someone is saying “Merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Holidays” to us when we’re buying cheap crap made by slave labor in third world countries on credit than just about anything else.

We celebrate and encourage the absolute worst of our culture by putting them on TV and making them rich while reveling in their disgusting immorality and crudeness. Then, we give them a higher status in society and tell our kids to look up to them. Hell, we tell our kids to look up to anyone we can. We’d much prefer to have our entertainers keep our kids preoccupied than to raise them ourselves. Just don’t let them see any gays. Rape, murder, war and the glorification of drugs and alcohol is perfectly okay though.

We’ve made virtually anything we do from just hanging out on a street corner to daring to question our government in the form of an organized protest illegal. To enforce those laws local, poorly trained police have the freedom to essentially make up their own laws on the spot and harass citizens with impunity. Not to mention giving police the freedom to lie under oath as much as needed to keep prosecutor’s conviction rates high and judges the “tough on crime” image needed to get reelected and appointed to higher positions.

So, while we’re all busy watching the Real Housewives of WhereTheFuckEver and whatever other mindless lowbrow crap we’re being fed by the corporate entertainment industry and those same corporations direct their “news” divisions to focus on personalities and pop culture, old white men are meeting behind closed doors to discuss how they can fuck us all even harder. And, people in our government are meeting behind closed doors discussing how to protect the corporations even more than they already are. And our government is busy passing laws that censor in the internet in a way that will limit the free flow of information and to allow authorities to detain American citizens indefinitely on any charges they can dream up at the moment of arrest.

Sleep well America. Don’t worry your pretty little heads one bit.

Life Lessons with Billy Ray Chambers

Hi all you morons. Billy Ray Chambers here for I’m With Stupid and those two morons who run this freak show.

I don’t like where this country is headed, and I got a few things to say about it. You don’t have to listen, but you will, because you think I am old enough to die any second and you’re being polite. Well…

As polite as your young, punk ass face can be…Anyways…

Where is the respect for your country and yourselves? Why are there so many assholes like you pitty-pattying, here and there, with no direction in life, bums.

When I was growing up, I had direction. Every morning at five, my Pa would wake my ass up and send me to the barn to milk the goats.

Sure, the rich kids in the township would make fun of uzzins because we had goats and they had cows, but let me tell ya…Goat milk is sweeter, because they beat the shit out of ya when you milk ‘em. Makes it that much more worthwhile.

You didn’t even know that goats made milk did ya? That’s my point here…on top of being lazy, you’re stupid.

If I was to ask ya where corn comes from, you’d probably say, “A can.” Idiots.

Y’all think you’re so smart cuz you have your J-Pods and your Googles, or whatever the hell you call them, but you’re not.

You are nothing but a bunch of modern day wannabe hippies without the sex, drugs, and rock n roll those crazy bastards had at Woodstock in the 60’s.

You’re boring. In fact…You’re so boring you talk on your fancy, portable phones in public so people will think you are important.

Let me tell you…telling your baby daddy to bring home bread from the store along with his 40 of King Cobra does not make you important. The only thing it makes you is pregnant yet again the next day.

Where was I? Hell, I don’t know. I’m so stirred up about these end times that I can’t think straight, and speaking of straight, I have a question to all of you lesbanese women out there.

If you’re a woman who likes women, why the hell do you pick one that looks like a goddamn guy? Don’t make no sense atall.

And you “men” out there…

When did it become unacceptable to have a pitcher throw a baseball at your head? What? You make 80 thousand million dollars a year and you can’t take a little imprint of rawhide and catgut to the head?

Pussies. Hell if Ty Cobb were alive today, he’d beat the shit out of you sissies even if you were white. I dunno…makes no sense to me.

Anyways…I have to get on outta here for now. I buy and remodel houses and rent them out to dips shits like you, and I got a few fixer uppers I need to attend to.

I just hope half of the young, meth heads I rent to, pay me this month.

Bye…

Liberty Is In the Eye of the Beholder

It’s almost the Fourth of July, kids.

The day on which we Americans celebrate our greatness as a nation with cookouts, parades, and fireworks.

 

And look how far we have evolved in these past 235 years after rolling back the oppression initially placed upon by British rule...

In 1773, the British felt our wrath after they taxed our tea. Today? Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and others of their obesity inducing ilk feel our wrath as we tax the hell out of sugary drinks.

Years after slavery had been abolished in other western nations including Britain, founding father John Quincy Adams lay down the law and a mere thirty years later, his echoes helped to abolish slavery in this nation.

While European countries were violently and greedily colonizing Africa and Asia, America stood firm in her dedication to individualism and liberty by helping ill-informed and less knowledgeable Native American groups find their footing in our great society.

In the 1900’s we helped to defeat the Kaiser and his Jerrys. We built skyscrapers, railroads, and automobiles. We were not only defining the future…we were shaping it, and making it.

During World War II, while Hitler was busy gassing Jews, we as Americans, treated our Japanese citizens with respectful silence, as we fed them three squares a day in well-apportioned and well-secured housing.

During the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s while the Soviet Union and China were attempting to spread their vile form of godless authority, we were defending freedom by bombing Cambodia, propping up well-meaning dictators in Latin America, the Middle East, and southwest Asia.

Democracy is a hard road to hoe, but it comes with distinct definitions which only we as Americans can understand and navigate.

Today in America our government is no less bold nor courageous than when Patrick Henry thunderously pounded upon an old oak table and demanded his liberty, or when Nathan Hale regretted that he had but one live to give to this country.

No indeed…

America is guided by individuals who continue her greatness by debating such issues as, can rape victims have an abortion…can two guys or two women marry…is it legal to burn Chinese made American flags?

Heady stuff my friends, and this 4^th of July, after I watch the explosions of celebratory colors in the skies, I will rest assured that our greatness and liberties are in good hands…

As I navigate my way home through the DUI Checkpoints that the government has set up.

Cheers!!
