Norway, July 22nd 2011:  A self-described “Knights Templar” and “Freemason”, Anders Behring Breivik murdered 68 people in a combination explosion and shooting spree in Utoya and Oslo respectively.

More important (for the purpose of this blog) than the crimes themselves, is the motive.  Breivik posted over 1500 pages of his “manifesto” in which he describes the ”deconstruction of Norwegian culture and mass-import of Muslims“, encourages Christians to “embrace martyrdom” and calls for others to see him as “the savior of Christianity“.

In my years of study, I can’t remember a single time I’ve seen Christian crusaders cast as heroes.  Even in the oldest, most fundamental sects of Christianity, do you rarely even hear a mention of the crusades as they are almost universally an embarrassment to the church.  But that certainly didn’t stop Breivik from idolizing them.  In a twisted propaganda video he posted to YouTube just before the attack you can begin to see the depth of his devotion and eventual madness.

There can be absolutely no doubt that religious fundamentalism, weather Christian, Islamic or otherwise leads to murder, torture, and the continued suffering of the entire human race.

Thousands of years have passed in which we spend countless time, monies, and effort in effectively eradicating each other based on which “God” we believe in.  Haven’t we, as a human society had enough of pointless murder?  Isn’t it clear yet that genocide doesn’t “solve” any problems?  Why can’t we see that RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM is the cause of all of this pain and loss?

This is awesome.  It’s about time we started taking the “driver’s test” training seriously.

Make sure you read the actual recommendations too.

I spent a week (actually, we’re still here if you count some unexpected car trouble, but that’s another post…) in Georgia’s smallest, deepest, bible-belt-i-est towns.  We stayed in Cleveland, Helen, and Demorest to name a few.

Small towns are often subject to inbreeding and redneck jokes, but for good reason: Often, as they say, reality is stranger than fiction.  And this vacation proved to be no exception.

But beyond the quite literal “living cliche” representation of the locals we met, you couldn’t help but notice the constant repetition of “American owned” and “Christian owned” signs attached to the hotels, restaurants, and gas stations.  At first, this just seems like a joke;  maybe it would make for a funny photo posted to your Facebook page.

But with more thought, it opens a pandora’s box of questions and commentary.  Try to imagine what the outrage would be like if a Miami Publix mounted an “American owned” sign on their building.  Maybe a Shell gas station with a great big Christian fish on the sign, imagine the photo on the front page of the Sentinel that weekend.  Imagine the picketing, the calls for boycott, and the news commentary.

Yet, here we have hundreds, if not thousands of that exact occurrence and no one bats an eye.  It’s amazing to consider the complete lack of religious and racial tolerance in a country literally founded on it;  especially when you consider the average southerner’s claim to American life and patriotism.

Another day, another congressman uses his political office for corruption and criminal behavior.  The only real surprise is that justice might actually occur this time!  Rod Blagojevich was found guilty of 17 counts of graft charges.

We’ll see if he actually gets any real prison sentence, or if we have another example of the king’s pardon.

So, this douchebag-congressman Anthony Weiner get’s caught last week tweeting a photo of his weiner.  I’m sure you’ve read about it at least 11 times by now.

I’ve posted about government official’s sex scandals for years now, literally years.  Haven’t we had enough?  Has politics become so ennuie that these fucktards need to start “sexting” their Twitter followers?

How much longer will America put up with the rich elitist behavior of these asshats?  How much more bullshit will we be forced to swallow as the rest of the world points and laughs at us?

Here’s a thought:  Every time one of these jackholes does something like this and embarrasses the country, we fire his ass; NO EXCEPTIONS.  No voting, no media fluff, we just fire them on the spot.

6/8/11 update: In addition to twittering his tweeter, “sext” messages have been released that date back to Sept of last year with Vegas black jack dealer Lisa Weiss.  You can bet there’s more of this coming…

First, we saw members of congress being protected, now even the lowly cops get off with a wrist-slapping.

The corruption is rampant and obvious.  How much are Americans willing to take?  Apparently more than I thought.

“Mata and Moreno were called to help the woman get home after a drunken night out. She says she passed out and awoke to being raped… they were convicted only of a misdemeanor for official misconduct.”

They call it “abuse of authority“.  The rest of the world calls it a felony.

You read the title correctly.  The CDC said today:

“Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency.”

Now, combine this with the “fact” that the world is supposed to come to an end this weekend!

I’ve been saying it for years.  You read it here first, folks.  The world is coming to an end, by way of ZOMBIES.

A while back I blogged about zombie ants, and they’re back in the news today.  Check out some of these zombie ant FACTS.

New gruesome details have emerged explaining how a parasitic fungus manipulates an unfortunate ant, filling its head with fungal cells and changing its muscles so the ant can grab a leaf in a death grip just when and where the fungus wants it.

The bizarre sequence that leads up to the ant’s death is completely out of step with its normal behavior and appears to be a way for the fungus to get itself to the perfect spot to spread its spores, according to the researchers.

Take a look at some of these photos, specifically #3 whose description is “In a scene worthy of a horror movie, one zombie ant bites the neck of another, already dead, zombie ant.”

Currently, there is a bill in discussion in Florida’s house pertaining to the open carry of firearms.  Unsurprisingly, this bill has caused a great deal of debate.  The NRA and pro-gun committees have been trying to sell the necessity of the bill “to prevent the arrest of CWP holders who may inadvertently, or accidentally, expose their firearms”.  This is all fine and good, but I think this “reason” has missed the point.

Essentially what we have here is a “solution” to a problem by passing more legislation instead of fixing the original law.  I’m certainly not pro gun legislation, those of you who know me know that I am an avid gun owner, competitive shooter, and overall fan of firearms.  But the open carry legislation passed as a “fix” for the concealed carry law is a misdirection.

Also, it seems to me that some scenarios where an open carrying citizen might inadvertently cause an escalation.  Before the hate mail starts, let me play out a scenario for you.

You are in a gas station, looking through the candy bar isle when an shotgun carrying bad guy comes through the front door and demands the clerk turn over the register’s cash.  Normally you’d be carrying concealed, but since this law passed, you figure “what the hell” and suit up with a waistband holster.  Now the robber turns his attention to you, as he never even noticed you back there on his way in, and you have a gun on your hip.  Had you been carrying concealed, you might have decided to do nothing to stop the robbery, assuming the bad guy would take his money and run.  But now we have a good old-fashioned wild-west showdown taking place, as the criminal is convinced you’ll draw the minute you get the chance.

This is how people get shot.

I’m not saying the law will cause people to end up in a Hollywood style shootout, but it’s certainly worth entertaining the thought.  I do believe that an armed society is a polite society, and I think firearms have a lasting place in America, as this was a major factor in our history.  I’m only suggesting that the open carry / cowboy lifestyle might be a bit outdated.

Maybe we should spend less effort pleasing the NRA, by passing more laws and more time fixing the laws that are already broken.  Say, by adding a clause to the concealed law that allows for accidental display of the hidden firearm.

Unemployment is still hovering at over 9% (actually more like 11%, but we don’t count under-employed or people who have just plain given up).  We are currently waging 3 wars… At the same time.  As if this wasn’t enough, we’re still buried in the middle of the worst recession in American history, home prices continue to plummet, and a class war is looming as the rich continue to tax the middle class into poverty.  Oh yeah, and there’s a world class nuclear disaster hanging on by a thread in Japan… Almost forgot that one.

But you fucktards are wrapped around some “noble” rich asshat in the UK getting married to some other rich asshat, and a reality TV show douchebag who is running for president as some kind of bullshit publicity stunt.

So, what’s on the front page of the news this morning?  Obama releases birth form, decries ‘silliness’.

Are you fucking kidding me?

GET a GRIP, America!

The most depressing part is, what can we do?  Congress is completely out of control, the President and his cabinet seem to have their own agenda which doesn’t include protecting or providing for any constituent who doesn’t own a corporation, and our government has decided to war us into permanent poverty.  This is really beginning to sound a LOT like the Bush administration.
