Heads or tails, America!So much has happened in America since the last time anyone around here could be bothered to update IRREVERENT.  America had a series of rancorous political debates, starring John McCain -- in effect, the absolutely whitest white man ever to showcase the color -- and Barack Obama, who in comparison was considerably less white but far more articulate.  A nation continued to be divided over a crippling foreign war.  Then, for the first time in history, a non-white-white-white guy was elected to the highest office ever in a major Western democracy.  Michael Moore, I'm sure, made a movie about it within minutes.  Then the entire economy collapsed like Hulu-ized cranium.  Mushy, mush.

Why You Personally Irritate the Hell Out of Me Print E-mail

I can take four years of an socialist administration squandering my hard-earned dough on stupidities like health care and payouts for old and sick people.  I can take a massive bailout of businesses too stupid and lazy to run their businesses efficiently.  I can even take a morally bankrupt culture that prides itself on its rampant pornography and psychopathic video games.  But the one thing I refuse to choke down is how you, personally go out of your way to piss me off each and every day. You're a real pain in the ass, you know that?

Damn. Why don't Paris have oil.
Damn. Why don't Paris have oil.
You know what bothers me, apart from the ethics, who’s right and who’s wrong? (America is always right, right or wrong).

America only attacks small, poor countries. Look at the list of our opponents over the past thirty years or so, Vietnam, Granada, Iraq, Afghanistan, The Balkans, Lebanon, and Cuba (oops, we didn’t attack Cuba, we almost did).

Always in the name of freedom.

It makes me yearn for World War Two, the good war, where we fought competent powerful enemies worthy of the name. Now, I know because we’re America we’re always right no matter what. I know we have right on our side in every case. That we’re infallible, incapable of error.

But do we always have to fight countries much smaller than ourselves?

I can't say that I've heard much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the time I've been away from my duties here at this justification for keeping broadband penetration low, and, while that would dismay a lesser man, I'm happy to finally be back behind the keyboard.  Not because you've missed me, you clearly haven't, but because it might just make your little, sad, life a tiny bit brighter.  I know, I'm a hell of a humanitarian.

WTF
Guns and Homicide?! Print E-mail

WTF??"Boston, MA -- Firearms are used to kill two out of every three homicide victims in America. In the first nationally representative study to examine the relationship between survey measures of household firearm ownership and state level rates of homicide, researchers at the Harvard Injury Control Research Center found that homicide rates among children, and among women and men of all ages, are higher in states where more households have guns. The study appears in the February 2007 issue of Social Science and Medicine."  (more)

Also in the March 2007 issue of the Journal of the Completely Obvious, a subsidiary of Duh Publishing.  The scientists next are going to study the suspected correlation between blindness and staring directly at the sun.

Bravo! has done it again!  Yes, they have come up with another great, pointless reality show called Project Runway, hosted by the gorgeous, deal-with-the-devil beauty, Heidi Klum.  The last time I saw Heidi, she did a cameo for the hit show Sex & The City, and her one line was, "How do I look?"  She then flowed over Carrie Bradshaw on, you guessed it, the runway.  Stunning as ever and very pregnant (although I was relieved to see that her legs looked thick, at least she's retaining something), she arrives for a second season on the Bravo channel to say the now famous words of, "Are you in, or are you out?"  "They sew, she cuts" is how they advertise this great fun of judging people who clearly have little talent and need to keep their current jobs.
