Greetings, punks. Fuck you. And fuck me, too. And fuck the Westboro Baptist Church. Seems like they could use it. 7 years ago today Mikey posted a blog I wrote about the religiously justified pathos of these sad, terminally bored assholes and now, BOSTON, and the subsequent media orgy with the theme of spectacular violence, the Westboro Baptist Church is in the news again. They're still out on the road jumping in front of every news camera they can find... doing everything in their power to avoid returning to their formerly unpublicized lives in Topeka. I suspect the boredom and absurdity they carried with them when they left there is heavier than any cross, and no amount of attention will ever relieve the burden. They are sick. I'll pray for them. And that's all I have to say about that.
Killers in America work seven days a week, and neither Mikey and I have time to to mourn every victim of every senseless killing. Four were shot to death in Chicago over the weekend. Pretty low-key. Barack Obama, before he was President, referred to the parade of inner-city gun violence victims as "the forgotten children"---the Dems want to invent more rules to the game. Nevermind the existing rules against shooting people that are ignored, the existing gun laws, drug laws, etc. the prison-industrial complex that is overfed. They are amazed by their own usefulness. The GOP wants money to make up its own rules. I sometimes get indecisive about which political party should be destroyed first. Mostly I am pretty sure it should be the GOP, but I wonder if we can get rid of both at the same time? What are the odds that a new party can be any better? There's a lot more I can say about all that and I will, given the time and inspiration.
Furthermore, no respectable media outlet spends too much time covering the relentless carnage on the roads.
Just a small price to pay for the honor of feeding the oil companies and maintaining the status quo. Almost everyone is guilty of that and so the full depth of the horror is barely worth mentioning. We've had a few more oil spills here and there. I can hardly wait for another group--or the same group--of assholes to start spilling nuclear waste. And if it's true there's a fool-proof methodology for carting nuclear waste safely, would it be insane to suggest that somehow someway the mind-boggling profits of the oil industry should be used to adopt those? I suppose it is some kind unacceptable ism to suggest that. Well, I guess that's why we're still here. Even if it's only light entertainment for ourselves, our friends, or anyone out there who is still making an effort to make a positive difference while maintaining a sense of humor and the occasional impulse to jump up and down screaming.
Punk is dead. Long live punk.
