I read this funny rant about rainforests on Right Wing News today, and it reminded me of the very first political rant I ever wrote. It was written a number of years back during my Freshman year of college when I was young, naive, and not as hard-hearted as I am now. Luckily, I found it’s still floating around the internet and found a link to it. It’s entitled “What the Hell is a Rainforest?”

China has blocked Google, because… well… because they’re evil, stupid commie bastards. Can’t have people searching for things that aren’t government approved, you know? Google took a hit in my mind when I found out from Geeks With Guns (last item of 29th of August entry) that they wussed out like Ebay and won’t accept any ads dealing with weapons, but getting banned by China helps my opinion. Hopefully Google will stand strong like a true American company should.

The link some loyalist terrorist supporter using the pseudonym G.G. was hassling Emily Jones over is The Portadown News. Definitely an interesting read; I just need to figure out what some of that Irish slang means.

Emily has a great site, and hopefully she’ll get back to posting soon.

If failure took human form and then penned an op-ed piece on the war on terror, this is what it would look like.

Mo Mowlam has found out that this whole war on terror and war against Iraq are just covers for our actual plan to secure oil for ourselves. We were supposed to keep this secret from foreigners, guys! If more people find this out, our sinister plans will be foiled. Now I have to get a “cleaning crew” together and take care of everyone who reads The Guardian.

For a good article in the Guardian that requires no killing, read Timothy Garton Ash’s introspective column about communism and how it is viewed today versus Nazism.

I found this article by Mark Goldblatt through Joanna Jacobs (who found it through Number 2 Pencil; such is the blogosphere) and I found its assertion that “ignorance is no longer tempered with humility” in students particularly enlightening. So many people today assert opinions without even knowing basic facts, and the reason why was some teachers were foolish enough to give them self-esteem that was unwarranted. Stupid people shouldn’t have self-esteem; it’s like giving a chimp a gun but much more annoying. When people have self-esteem, they think they have relevant things to say when too often that is far from the truth. Teachers should be extremely frugal with self-esteem, only giving it to the highest achievers, i.e., those deserving. Everyone else should be constantly berated for their ignorance until they are too scared to ever open their fool mouths. If this is followed, most of the idiotic opinions out there will cease to have people willing to assert them, and the world will be a more tranquil and peaceful place.

UPDATE: Response on brand new blog IMFO. Hmm.

Eugue Volokh blogged a while back about when it is appropriate for an armed revolution. My answer originally was when a country tries to take away your guns that’s the time for a armed revolution because, hell, its your last chance. I found another time for revolt when I heard about this law they passed in Greece. The bastards banned video games! If I can’t help Super Mario collect the Shines, then it would a mockey of the principles of liberty to continue on as if nothing had happened. If I no longer can frag people online with a virtual M-16 and spout about how gay campers are, then it’s time to get a real M-16, load it up with a 90rd drum magazine, and have myself a coup. Don’t worry, as long as ole Frank is around, I’ll make sure everyone is free to ride the bus while fighting a Venomoth with a Pikachu (though please wear earphones).

Best of the Web found this article in Asia Times detailing the Sauds extravagant visit to Spain. This is why I could never be a politician, because I could not be paid enough to take jackasses like them seriously as world leaders. They got their people living in misery and ignorance while feeding off of radical Islam and anti-Americanism while at the same time they’re living it up with prostitutes. And if I met those scumbags and they wouldn’t acknowledge a woman in my party, they would have to quickly determine what’s more important to Allah: them beings dicks or not getting a major ass whup’n.
