Star Trek
Stolen from ClamBake 6′s site:
I’m a big fan of all things Star Trek. Yes great fun has been made of the bad special effects and the mostly bad acting, but Star Trek really was/is an important work. Generally, I equate TV or movies to photographs or paintings but some some television shows or movies equate more to the level of literature. I’m not saying Star Trek was great writing or acting, but taken as a whole work I will say that it is important to human culture as any piece of literature. I could mention the race/ethnicity/nationality of the crew as example of its importance as most people do. I could mention the importance of such a ‘positive’ science fiction television show aired as it was during the Space Race. But I won’t (although I sorta just did).
In Memoriam
High Flight, by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
- Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
- And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
- Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
- of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
- You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
- High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
- I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
- My eager craft through footless halls of air….
- Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
- I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
- Where never lark nor even eagle flew—
- And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
- The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
- Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
A Day at the Gun Range with Rick Perry
From UrbanGrounds:
10-12 other bloggers, to include Andrew Breitbart, Matt Lewis, Roger Simon, Kathleen McKinley (Right Wing Sparkle) and Dr. Melissa Clouthier at Red’s Indoor Range (South) in Austin this afternoon for one of the most unusual and completely awesome campaign events that I have ever heard of — shooting guns with the governor of Texas.
This thing had security nightmare written all over it — especially the day after a crazed man opened fire on the steps of the Texas Capital (Rick Perry’s office, effectively). As near as I can tell, there was only one Security man in the range with about 12-15 armed citizens and Gov. Perry. And his Security agent looked nervous as hell…but Gov. Perry insisted upon doing this event.
Boob Belt Unravels
Back in December, I posted an entry on a statue erected in honor of Barry Soetero, AKA Prez Obama, by the city of Jakarta. I also posted an update a few days later detailing the Facebook campaign launched in protest. Apparently, they have been effective:
Indonesian authorities said Monday they are considering a petition to tear down a statue of US President Barack Obama as a boy, only a month after the bronze was unveiled in Jakarta.
The Facebook group has been very critical of the statue, believing the site should have been used to honor an Indonesian instead of a foreigner who happened to have lived there for a short time.
Members of the “Take Down the Barack Obama Statue in Menteng Park” group on Facebook say Obama has done nothing for Indonesia.
“Barack Obama has yet to make a significant contribution to the Indonesian nation. We could say Obama only ate and s (expletive) in Menteng. He spent his subsequent days living as an American,” the web page says.
Yep….Prez Obama is just some dude who lived there for a few years, not an Indonesian hero or wunderkind. I wonder what will be the reaction when he and the Roya-- I mean, the First Family go for a visit?? Pure sugary goodness!!!!
Writing on the Wall?
In an interview held today by Diane Sawyer, Prez Obama had this gem to impart to the proles:
“I’d rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president,” he told ABC’s “World News” anchor Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview today.
Let’s review: he failed at passing ObamaChappaquiddickCare, failed delivering an accord in Hopenchangen, failed to bring the Summer Olympics to Chicago, failed to get Democratic governors and a senator elected, failed to get Tax & Chained off the ground…. However, it would be a mistake to underestimate this man’s ego. After all, he seems to think his personality will bail everyone out:
“I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” [retiring Congressman Marion] Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.”
Wow….just, wow….
Cracked: 6 Reasons Homemade Porn Is a Worse Idea Than You Think
While their asses look like sparkling puckers of sanitation and delight, fashioned from the finest alabaster and stank, mine looks like the Sarlacc that ate Boba Fett. It has no business on camera and chances are yours will be just as atrocious.
Have you ever been in a public restroom when an overweight man in a hurry comes in? And you’re forced to take the next stall and just sit in silent horror and listen as he tries to both get comfortable and stave off an aneurysm? Why is there is much heavy breathing? And squishing? And then wet plops. That’s what homemade porn sounds like.

People
I try to be a nice person, I really do. People make it awful hard sometimes.
People suck. Your average person is a decent enough fellow, but people … well, they suck.
The hardest part about getting along in society is trying to not treat a person like you’d treat people. As hard as it is sometimes, you have to treat every person as an individual. A completely new encounter.
…
I’m not explaining this right at all. No matter how many people blow right past you when you hold a door for them, never expect the next person to do the same. That 1 in 100 is maybe going to say ‘Thank You’ (rare these days, I know), but more importantly that 1 in 100 might think, just somewhere in the back of his mind, ‘Not everyone’s a dick.’ No matter how shitty a day you’ve had, no matter how pissed off you are that the guy in line ahead of you has 35 items in the fucking express lane you truly have to give your best effort to not lump everyone you meet in with the assholes.
In a way, this is very much the same phenomena as racism. I mean, racism is essentially expecting every member of a race to behave in a certain way. It is just as easy, or hell, even easier, to expect ever person to act the same as every other asshole you’ve ran across today.
I can’t honestly suggest that you treat every individual you encounter in the course of your day equally as if you’ve not encountered any number of assholes before but in the interest of civility I ask that you try. I try. I don’t always succeed and I often find myself being someone else’s asshole but I do try. I suggest you do the same.
You should not read this as a plea to everyone to be a doormat. I’m suggesting no such thing. If some asshole knocks into you in his hurry to get who-gives-a-shit-where and you feel the need to say, “Hey, fuckstick, watch where you’re walking.” by all means, let loose. All I’m suggesting is to not be the first asshole.
When I was in the police academy (yeah, there’s a bit of personal history) we were taught to always let the other guy dictate your behavior. Essentially, this means that you approach every encounter at a normal human polite level of behavior and you leave it to the other guy to decide whether or not you’ll get nicer or turn into a complete dick that just beat him senseless.
This really turned into a whole lot more of a ramble than I first intended.
