American Politics

July 30, 2009 By: houkah Category: Politics

demsThis is the first time i’ve ever seen something like this. The winning party has now spent the entire first seven months of their rule pandering to the losing party. Democrats…. you are pathetic. FUCKING GROW A PAIR. Who gives a shit if the republicans don’t like your ideas on healthcare. Ram it down their fucking throats. A filibuster proof majority in senate, a healthy majority in the house, a president in office, and you still defer to the republicans? Act like you have a sack goddamnit.  Don’t think this is just goint to be about me making fun of the Democrats either.

Bicycle Commuters

bicyclistOk, I have no problem with a person choosing to bicycle to work if they live close enough.  Nor do i have a problem with their ridiculous tights, or their holier than thou attitude towards being green.  That’s fantastic for you that you live within 5 miles of your workplace.  Many of us need to drive over 20 miles to get to work.  Bike that you fucker.  No, the thing i have the biggest problem with is when a biker does not follow the accepted rules of traffic.

Inspired by Mediocrity

Have you ever noticed that music sucks nowadays? Same with art. Why is this? I think it’s because every successive generation of music is inspired by the previous one (that goes for art too). However, not everyone takes the time to really learn the basics. For example 70s rock is inspired by the blues and early metal is inspired by a kind of mixture of classical and rock. Then the next generation is inspired by the previous and so on and so on, until you’re left with some bullshit like blink 182, or all american rejects.

Insuring a Warm Spot in Hell

insuranceLet us take a moment to consider the way the insurance industry works.  You and I pay a small (or sometimes large) sum monthly for some peace of mind.  This might be flood insurance, home owners insurance, auto insurance, or the mac-daddy of them all, health insurance.  Let us take a moment to look at the basics of how insurance operates shall we?
