[kj] [KJ] OT: Replace one bunch of cretins.. with another !!!

[pssyche23]

I've gotta say Ade that despite the minimum wage, tax credits, winter fuel 
allowance for pensioners (i'm beginning to sound a bit like Life Of Brian 
here), I'm finally tiring of a government that I craved for after all those 
nasty years of Thatcher (and the bland yet sleazy Major term) ... I wonder 
what things would have been had John Smith not had the fatal heart attack in 
1994 and the Labour Party would have stormed to power in 1997, not this New 
Labour ... probably not with such a resounding majority in the first 2 terms 
but possibly something closer to the spirit of a worker's party ... despite 
all the good things, any transparency seems further away than ever ... 
inflatation at 3.3% ??? Bollocks, we all know the staple weekly items have 
gone up 10-15% ... living standards dropping severely whilst the boardrooms 
are still as bloated as ever ... after Tory stealth taxes (cutting tax 
allowances etc), I was hoping for some honesty about how much everything 
costs ... not a fucking chance ... and whilst the housing market exploded, 
what intervention by government to cool things down ? NOTHING. Probably cos 
they were all making a mint too. Sorry if anyone out there has been burnt by 
the current housing market "readjustment" but that's something well overdue 
... the only ones benefitting were estate agents (by comission), buy-to-let 
Rigsby's and of course the government (via stamp duty) ... anyway, nobody 
can deny it's exciting times !!!

Killing Joke on the horizon ... and much global uncertainty ... i'm with 
those who aren't getting too excited about Obama ...  ultimately big 
corporations will call the tune, they always do ... better get some trips in 
before crude oil hits $200 a barrel and air travel is out of reach again ... 
currently toying with idea of doing an earlier european date (like Madrid, 
Barcelona or the recently announced Zurich) ... got a severe "brownie 
points" deficit here, especially with the Moscow trip, but tonight's 
babysitting whilst her indoors is off to see Radiohead in Victoria Park 
(London) is a step in the right direction (and I bought the tickets !) ... 
interested to know if anyone is thinking of doing one of those ... would be 
great to have a travelling companion ... oh yeah, and whilst i'm talking of 
flying, loved that recent story where that young woman from anti-air travel 
pressure group "Plane Stupid" FLEW over to New York on a fact finding 
mission ... you just couldn't write it ...

Regards, Antoni

Pardon my apathy, but we replaced the conservatives in the UK with the only 
party that said it was "the peoples' party" & had any sort of majority. Yet 
we're in Iraq.

Revolution? Yeah, just look what happened in France...

Frankly, I don't know WHAT the answer is, these days.

Clinton:  Left office with a smile on his face and a surplus.
Bush:  Fucked the entire economy up by giving tax cuts to the top 1% and 
starting an invasion, with a trillion dollar deficit.

Maybe we should make sure that our Presidents have outlets to, er, release 
themselves instead of channeling that energy into destruction.

If you wanted to make a comment about Post Industrial Capitalism, let's hear 
it, not just the tired mantra of "they're all the same".  No shit.  However, 
some are a tad worse than others.

I have always hated Underdone Chicken Cutlet McCain.....especially after 
reading about his wife.

Bette:

Yeah, she's a beam of light, all right ...
But I think you're on to something with McCain (who I honestly don't think 
is such a bad guy -- but it's just sad to see how desperate he is when it 
comes to this election, and his flip-flopping makes John Kerry look like 
Ronald Reagan).

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.....the only reason Obama will be 
our next President is because we don't want a slab of tired, overdone 
chicken cutlet who praises to the high heavens Lil' Bush.  I read that said 
chicken cutlet is considering Condoleeza Rice as his running mate.....she is 
such a beam of light!

Yeah, funnier, but I think the original does a great job of showing just how 
divisive Demo-twat supporters can be. What a message to spread, eh! Let's 
take sides, everyone!

Politics swings like a pendulum because the left & the right attempt to 
exclude each other. Then the group of people who's opinions have been 
excluded eventuallty rise-up again & so on in this pathetic cycle. You're in 
MY club or you're not - they BOTH say this!

Myspace? Yeah, I'm wearing an advertising board on my back as I speak! It 
says 'KILLING JOKE'. Oh, that's an acceptable form of advertising? Right! I 
don't ever expect to make a living from music, but it's nice if someone pops 
by one of the numerous urls & listens for a minute or two - is that so EVIL? 
;)

Everyone who's supporting the 'force for change' that is Obummer - you 
probably feel like I did when Labour where about to take over in 1996. I was 
a naive (to say the least) 23 year old & thought to myself "thank fuck for 
that, the Tories are out & everything is going to be fine from now on..."

OOPS!

I prefer the errr... Edited version.... :)

"Some of the dire consequences of political inbreeding in Blue States.

This is a parody of TruthThroughAction.org's short film, Blue Balled. The 
original film, horribly edited, has a message so badly cobbled together that 
to parody it is like whacking a pinata with a boat oar, sans blindfold. But 
we couldn't resist. The film is so self-satisfyingly smug it has a virtual 
"kick me" sign on it.

What we can't help thinking is that when you ask Obama supporters why they 
are voting for him they say, "because he has the ability to bring the 
country together." Oh, really? These knuckleheads have made an entire film 
about the complete polar opposite of Barack's supposed appeal.

Enjoy!"

BTW, Ade. Are you a walking myspace commercial? :)

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social 
Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers 
contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is unethical, 
while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the spirit of 
diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team 
player.
