A Chicken Is Not Pillage

'He Made Sure We're Screwed'

Forrest Gump:  "Stupid is as stupid does."

Forrest Gimp: 

I don’t care about the outcome of the Obamacare bill. Without it we’re screwed, but he (Obama) made sure that with it we’re screwed as well.

~sigh~  Obama didn't put Scalia or Thomas on the SCOTUS.  He didn't even have a chance to vote for or against them.  But it's somehow his fault that these two ethically challenged assholes are on the court ruling against the people.

Yes, stupid is as stupid does.  Blaming a person in whatever position for screwing you over when they had no say in the screwing is doing the stupid.  Thanks, Mark.

Moronic

If there is something that I cannot stand it's an idiot who thinks he can use logic as a cudgel, and doesn't understand what he's saying/writing.  Posting two alternatives, and requesting more, is not in anyway a fallacy as Mark Tokarski would present it.

First, he proclaims that I engaged in the fallacy of the Excluded Middle.  He obviously doesn't understand that since I didn't present violence as the negation of voting, I did no such thing.   The law of the excluded middle assumes that two things negate each other.  Apparently recognizing his error, he now claims that I and others have presented a False Dilemma.   The false dilemma assumes that there are only two choices possible.   To any who actually think, please notice that these are not the same.  ~sigh~  No.  It's a simple fricking question.  If we aren't to engage in violence or voting, exactly what will "organizing" accomplish?  It's a question.   Mark will provide no answer of the sort required.   If he responds at all, it will only be to continue positing failure on the part of others such that he not see the failure on his own part.

 

Yeah.  I really hate that.

The Farmer v. The Snake.

Eli Sanders, at Esquire magazine, paints a realistic picture of the struggle between a Montana farmer and a Montana developer which could decide the sway of the Senate next year.  Read This.

Occupy Reality

I've been informed that police violence is making the 'occupy' movement stronger, in the face of remarkable evidence to the contrary.  The Occupy Movement is a worthy effort, but let's be real.  So far, it has accomplished next to nothing.  Just so that we're clear.

I'm going out on limb here, but I suggest that camp outs are not a mechanism of change.

Whatever happened to Occupy Missoula anyway?

 

UPDATE:  To the Drama Queen:  I'd say it's working out pretty fricking well.  Beyond personal whine, what do you have?
