I’ve got nothing of my own to contribute today, so I’ll just point you to two things that caught my attention.
- If you can’t win, roll out the FUD. Griftdrift, who’s been doing an even more kick-ass job than usual of covering local issues lately, calls out state Senator Eric Johnson (again) and Erick Erickson for continuing to perpetuate urban legends about the Genarlow Wilson case. (Aside: I am abstaining from commenting on Peach Pundit for a while. It gets my blood pressure up and accomplishes nothing. The only thing some of them understand is to treat them with the same lack of basic human decency they demonstrate. I’d prefer not to roll that way.)
- This is how you rant. Inspired work from Trackboy in the Peachtree Screed comments:
GA Dem’s are HUGE pussies. You expect LEADERSHIP from these effete clowns? Calvin Smyre? Longtime ineffective pussy, who struck out in DC for PeachCare. DuBose Poter? Ineffective pussy with a old school drawl who really has never accomplished anything of note. David Adelman? Smart & likeable pussy. Mark Taylor? Campaign was only on dissing Sonny Do and not bring any original idea of note while on his daddy’s payroll for eyars and is the poster child on why grown men need to exercise and eat salads pussy. Terry Coleman? Thanks god you’re no longer in office pussy. Roy Barnes? Gave up running for office again like a f-ing coawrd because he screwed up supporting the Northern Arc pussy? Bobby Kahn? Loser pussy who enabled Queen of Cluless Denise Majette to actually believe she should run for any office. Thurbert Baker? A pussy with alien hair. Michael Thurmond? Too coward to run for US Senate and would rather be wasting time as No. 2 with the DPG pussy. What’s the one thing GA Dem’s have been able to do best? Allow rural GA Dem’s from blocking common sense stuff in metro Atlanta, like stationing state troopers on the busiest highways and not in the middle of nowhere, rail and state dough for MARTA, no seatbelts for pickup trucks, etc. Hmmm…as Macon and Savannah grow, more troopers there would be smart, rail would be a godsend for Macon & Savannah and a better MARTA would bring in more sales tax $ from tourists, seatbelts as law for pickups would save lives all over the state, etc. GA Dems: Pussies R Us!
Oh, and tomorrow you’ll get to hear my impression of Steve Davis in a podcast of my most recent Georgia Political and Policy Digest column.
Thanks dude. I can only hope the sorry SOB continues to roll around in his own fecal matter tomorrow. He’s gold! Blogger gold! I thought when Katy Harris was defeated I would just dry up and waste away. But there’s just so much crazy right here at home!
Upon reading this article, especially the mention of state troopers, a recently discovered fact about my own state came to mind. There is no open container law in TN. Passengers in any vehicle are allowed to have open beverage containers. When I think of all the wasted time and energy I have spent trying to hide that shit over the year…I get pissed. Especially since I only discovered this fact on a little blurb on the news about how they may be making it illegal.
BTW, I’ve been to Pussies R Us before. It smelled funny there. Believe it or not, I like Toys R Us much better.
If I lived in Georgia, I think I’d stop voting Eric(k)s into office.
You know, I’ve gotta say, I’m getting pretty goddamn fed up with “pussy” being used as an insult. I can let it slide here and there, once or twice, no big deal. But Trackboy is pushing his luck. WE GET IT.
Yeah! Trackboy you’re a dick! Umm, I mean your an asshole! Damn that’s just more personification of body parts.
I’m glad someone has finally brought up an issue as important as this. You see I happen to be left-handed. Being what I would call left-footed comes along with that. When someone is uncoordinated they are commonly referred to as having “two left feet.” What’s the fucking problem with that? I find that the assumption that having two left feet would be a negative thing very offensive. As a matter of fact, I personally would love it. My left foot is much stronger and more agile. Having two would only mean twice the fun.
It’s time people start appreciating the unique personality of the left foot. No two are the same. They are beautiful and special. I think it’s been far too long without someone paying a Georgia O’Keefe-esq tribute to the left foot.
All in all, maybe we should just ban any use of the words we label body parts with from being used otherwise. I happen to have some of these body parts. Your use of words can be offensive, hurtful, and demeaning. There’s nothing worse than indirectly offending your fellow man or woman. Words are not just a collection of consonants and vowels you know. They are not just arbitrary tools man has developed in order to communicate. They hold true power. Choose not to harness that power for evil.
I know Lush. It must be so hard for you. I’m totally imposing on your personal freedom. Don’t make me get out my tiny violin. I’m going to have to replace the strings soon, and I’d like to give it a rest for a while.
The whole tiny violin thing should be used when someone is whining and wallowing in self-pity. I was just illustrating a point in my own smartass/asshole (I like to call it smartasshole) way. It was just a point about the absurdity of someone actually caring about something so trivial and hypocritical (like you’ve never called someone a dick).
I expected more. I expected something better. I expected orginality. It’s not your fault. I set the bar too high. Next time I’ll lower it to “average.”
Well, c’mon. I mean, her GDBF is a guy who goes to comic book conventions dressed as a postal worker when he CLEARLY should be going to these things dressed up as Al Bundy. Appropriateness? Good choices? Here?
ALTHOUGH. I do agree with her about the pussy thing. Not so much from the gynocentric angle, mind you - I just find the repetitiveness of the rant itself retarded. Fucktarded. Retardo Montalbon. All of these things.
Rusty, come up here this weekend and get wasted for my birthday.
Hypocritical? Jesus fuck dude! Where did THAT come from?!
Re: “dick” - yes, I def. have called someone (many someones, in fact) a dick in my short lifetime. I’ve also called someone (many someones) a pussy. But I try not to do it anymore, because I think it’s wrong and BORING to use names of body parts associated w/ sex as insults. It’s part of that whole crazy “sex positive” thing I’m on about. I could write a mini-thesis here but it’s LATE and I don’t feel like it.
On the other hand, “gynocentric” is a good word and I’ll try to use it in casual conversation asap.
Amber is right and I will retire the p-word forever from my lexicon. Furious D, “Retardo Montalbon” is brilliant if you yourself made it up (unless you borrowed it from Mike Myers).
Maybe I am “retarded”, but am so only because I was raised in a family of diehard Dem’s in another state where Dem’s actually looked out for the average guy & gal, made a stand once in a while, and didn’t fold like a house a cards the first time they faced a real challenge. Dem’s ran the show here for 130 years, and can’t blame Repub’s for everything wrong in the state (no f-ing seatbelt law for pickups???).
I respect GA Repub’s for being clear where they stand. They may blatantly pimp for road building interests, the pay day loan industry, developers ready to take over every single inch of the state coastline, etc., but at least you know where they stand. Guvna Sonny Do tells the whole state he’s not going to do much for the next four years, and that’s truly f-ing CRAZY when you think about it, but he freely admits it.
When grade school bullies like Steve Davis and Earl Ehrhart do what they do time and time again without one single Dem standing up to them face to face, yeah, a guy can go off on a repetitive, “retarded” rant. I can and will do better.
Here’s another example: The state has $100 mil of FED money to spend on the Lovejoy train (and if you don’t know the area, the Southside is BOOMING out of control). The Lovejoy train to Macon and then Savannah would constitute forward planning. But whore/pimps like Steve Davis, David Doss, Mike Evans, Jim Wooten, etc. fight it tooth and nail.
But when the idea of spending billions upon billions for a tunnel under the ATL appears, which their best buds would all get filthy rich from, they become cheerleaders real quick:

Does one Dem stand up and say fellas, 1) you’re rabies-infected racoon crazy, 2) you’re filty STD infected pimps for road builders, 3) it’s the dumbest idea ever, 4) real metro areas in the US and worldwide have rail, and 5) again, you’re Pacal Perez endlessly loopoing 285 f-ing crazy??? No, not one Dem stands up. If just one had a spine, I’d keep my big stupid “retarded” self quiet.
Amber:
Sometimes you have to stretch to try to keep these little things I do to entertain myself rolling. This one was more of a half-assed attempt that just sputtered out.
Trackboy:
My cousin was born without a spine, and I take offense to that.
Furious D.:
I talk to you more about this whole gynocentric angle thing you were talking about on Saturday. I think I need one of those.
I have changed the header quote on my blog to be, “A blog from the gynocentric angle.”
You think I could use one of those to help me cut the ends of some crown molding I need to put up?
