The Day Ariel Sharon Was A Fruit & A Vegetable

The self-indulgent ramblings of a maudlin wank-a-day.

Memorandum to Mr. Helms

You just had to go and die on the Fourth of July.

After all that time you spent making America a shittier place, it’s only fitting you’d go and ruin its founding holiday; to clog our papers with obituaries - like the arteries the tobacco lobby (which, hand firmly in ass, darkened North Carolina with your rotting frame for generations) helps to clog all over this green Earth; that you would find some way to make your death as disgusting as your life. That anyone ever mistook you for a human being is a damning indictment on our species; that you were white makes me wish the Irish weren’t these days, or at least that black-face were socially acceptable. I would that Hell existed if only to place you in it, and would more strongly than I do now that Heaven did not just to keep you out of it.

You shat up my country for just shy of eighty-seven years, and if there is any justice in this universe your corpse will just keep on expanding until it bursts, and no coffin ever made will keep the smell of rancid shit from the human waste who come to mourn you.

I’d call you a son of a bitch, Jesse Helms, but Josef Mengele wouldn’t have deserved to give birth to you and Pol Pot wouldn’t deserve to have called you a son. If your mother had the dignity evolution bequeathed to the scarab, she’d have spent every year from 1921 to her all-too-late death suppressing the urge to tear out her own ovaries. God willing, some day we’ll figure out what we can excise to atone ourselves of you.

Via Sadly, No - and, inexplicably, the fucking White House.

George D.P. Carlin, 1937-2008

When the sun rises again today, it’s certain to shine a little bit less brightly - for we have lost not just its worthiest follower but a man who pierced the darkness of vanity and self-righteousness like no other. A world without him to balance out the evil, self-important assholes - the ones who took ‘politically incorrect’ from him, back when it meant something noble, and twisted it into a badge to crown their shameful, petty tribal hate - is going to be just a little bit darker for it.

Parker and Stone and every other dour fascist who TV execs who still don’t get you signed to ride on your coattails are still around, metastasizing, bound for the Medal of Freedom and old-age home that eluded you, punishing us all for our horrible taste while you rot. I like to think you’d find it funny. You always were a motherfucker.

Rest in peace - and here’s to hoping if there’s anything after this life you’ll figure out how to freak ‘em out there, too.

Terror Against Terror, Take Two

Let’s save our great culture from we-all-know-who
CAIR the Nation and the ACLU
If a child should emerge that is less than pristine -
Among all the bastards of the Mussulman gene -
Post the police in the OB room and
Put it on record that he is subhuman
Pin him down in red tape and call ‘im a Moslam
Throw him in prison and strip ‘im and beat ‘im
Throw them all in a pile and point at their dicks
And laugh as they shake as we jerk at our pricks
Six thousand a row a hundred feet high
Gastarber bodies scraping the sky
This is the face of terror ‘gainst terror
The lampshades and gloves were a tactical error
And white phosphorous puts those crude ovens to shame
But all names and faces and phrases the same
Lock ‘em in camps and spurt on their face
Make elbow room for the American race
