  • The crowd that murdoch and limbaugh handed the orange parasite on a platter, does not care about pesky and boring little things like facts and figures. It is an irrational mob fed with bacteria-infested red meat for two decades. They can only be reached via the basest of impulses, ripe pickings only for the most ignorant and/or shameless of conmen. It doesn’t help society that the right-wing toxic propaganda machine operates at full blast 24 hours a day, seven days a week.




  • I’m afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:

    2001: A Space Odyssey.
    The Empire Strikes Back.
    Miller’s Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
    A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
    A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard’s seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
    From Russia With Love.
    The Spy Who Loved Me.





  • The Infallibility Myth baffles me. What’s that all about?

    It’s like they cranked up the marketing, cult-of-personality bullshit to see how high it could go… and it didn’t have a limit, they were able to brainwash a lot of people with the most preposterous stuff, and they couldn’t help themselves, they just HAD to make their head a demigod.

    “Me perfect in paradise, you utter dogshit capitalist.”
    What is this, a first grader having a schoolyard fight?

    Then there’s Mao. Not quite a demigod, but not quite human either. His myth covering a much larger area and population, so they had to make the myth a little bit subtler. But not by much.








  • Was it some sort of blind hookup Tinder-like, and the “password” was a real, actual piece of cheese?
    Like with spy craft, “I’ll be at the plaza at 10pm, sitting on the bench in front of the fountain. I will be wearing a Gary Coleman “OBEY” t-shirt and carrying a dark green backpack. You will ask me for a piece of cheese”.
