Hello, Jamie Stephens.

Hi. My name is Ron Kroeker. I live in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. Now... that's in the Southwest of Canada. Right along the border to the big, bad, United States of American Bullshit.

I fucking hate living so near my declared enemy for life. Cause it is as the good man, James Hetfield of Metallic says: The U.S. of A for asshole; : "Hunt you down without Mercy, Hunt You Down All Night Mare LOng. "

'Cause that's what those motherfuckers in that motherfucking country do. They fuck with other people, in other countrys', mothers. By...

Killing their sons. By killing their son's wife, by "killing anything that moves, on anything that flies..." That's an actual quote by an American President by the name of Richard Nixon.

now, let's slow down, Jamie...

Please Read! carefully,

Go back and start from the beginning...





Good. Now think about what a good writer I am. You helped me out and your my friend and I don't even know you. Now, I think I recognize good qualities and good traits when I was a young man but a Man none the less you be.

I have to trust my instincts here and stop typing and explain what I would like to do for You.

My friend, if you embark on this journey with me...

You are now...


OFFICIALLY, a MEMBER of "THE" Best band in the world.

I don't care if I ever play my Bass Guitar again with any other musicians. I simply don't give a shit if there is a better guitarist than you.

Now, know this. I am deadly serious about my ability as a bass player. I am now currently playing on my Computer, Death Magnetic.

I am playing it over and over and over again until it locks in. And man...

It Is LOCKED!

So, the name of our band is "The Landed Gentry". I will brook no argument about the band name or any band decisons I make. Because this is MY BAnd that I'm telling you that you are automatically a part of based on the way you talk, the way you write and especially the way you talk about music.

What I do like is the confidence in your ability to be able to play, "The Day That Never Comes" Even an attempt at that heavy music that we both enjoy and I'm sure you find it just as cathartic as I do.

I fall asleep to heavy music all the time. It relaxes. And you know what else helps relax me is, Crystal Methamphetamine. For some reason, this drug that makes everything fast, makes me a very quiet and thoughtful person. I am always at my most quietest when I am alone.

And believe me, I am ALL Alone! I am so scared of being scared that I'm not scared being alone.

So, if you want to figure out a way for us to meet and play music together and see 'a brother from another mother', then by all means...

PM me back.

I'll get around to the forum whenever I feel good enough to talk to, My only friend...

in the world...

I'm really scared shitless this meeting of the minds won't ever happen. Please, get back to me as soon as possible. Just say hi.

Alive in the Unkown (or Known): Origins thereof,

Everything reminds me of me.

And that's why I hate everything,
that is around my world
on my little world
and in my little world address...

So, what then?
Where do we go?
How do we get there,
to the Alive in the Super Unkown?

Let's guess the outcome together, shall we?

When the World is Up!side down again

Flip the phase
phase the flip

reality to reality
a stark contrast of geographic locations

What I knew then
and what I knew now
is a waste of time to think about.

It's what the known
in the unknown
that excites the senses
and dulls the brain

Back to O'Really

Gots tireds of my names. Gotta get reals. Back to O'Really

An Instance of Clarity

or,

"How I learned to leave everything I once loved behind and be alright with that. But upon seeing the bleak future of such a life, came back and reclaimed all that I love with a fierceness protected by righteous hellfire. Well, until the next time the shining, flaming shit of the world seemingly goes up with smoke."

Another round of reformatting Ron K. 7.5X. - This time, in better shape and with an all-intact memory... haunting me right now.

This is also like a...

bizarre personal video game where I get to time travel into my past to unravel past mysteries, solve them, prove they actually happened by calling people from that past to see if they are actually real.

Turns out, so far, they are.

But here's the crux of my thinking. I have more to add, but I want it to sound as cool as possible to let you know what kind of cool thoughts I have been thinking.

History is just a name we give something that happened in the linear past. Yet, history is all around us. Everyday we base decisions on past experiences and so from personal experience on a one to one basis we can apply these small interactions to bigger ones in history.

The same concept can be applied to big events in history and are reflected in our leaders decisions today. Hitler would have never gone through with the extermination of the Jews the way he did, if the Armenians hadn't gone through the theirs. So the logic of the holocaust is reaffirmed because the world did not care about the genocide of the Armenians, then therefore, no one would care about the systematic extermination of Jewish people. G.C.E. Please Skip ahead for a cogent explanation of my clarity for an instance.


[Digression - Hitler also used American Corporate slogans to gain a nationalistic foothold in Germany. Remember, before he was devil incarnate, he was a bureaucratically bent back fighter that 'won' his leadership through having a brute force that was too intimidating too a fragile post war World War 1 psyche, left criminally fragile by the victors of World War 1. But I regress...]


Back to the point - And, in this case, history broke this seemingly short cycle by being horrified by what the Nazis did. Thus breaking the cycle, albeit, once. Genocide has reappeared a few more times, especially in Africa. With half assed attempts by the world and way too late apologies. But at least, as well, they were acknowledged.

The world will get better little by little. Revolution, whether peaceful or violent or anything in between, is a violent action. And violent actions will always beget violent actions further down the road. Better for slow reform, heading in the right direction, then a rip through social fabric.

Having said that, Revolutions are absolutely necessary. People just have to do them right. Be prepared for the outcome, the outfall, and remember, to kill any dissidence early on in the revolution. Revolutions are not democratic. It's do or die. So, if you are not doing, then you should be dead or completely neutralized.

So basically, sometimes leaders do ugly things or out of character things for the greater goal of a slightly better world the next time around. Leaving many puzzled historians wondering why China conquered Tibet, while at the same time warning the Dali Lama to leave Tibet before they 'conquered' it.

Mountains, I guess. Good protection from invaders. What do you think?

Lets do a Hummers and Jizz Reunion Tour.

But first... an interlude.

When the master is sick, it is up to the student on whether or not he can withstand the pain he sees in the master.

But because the master is sick, there is no choice. No one will wither and die when they see pain. They are only saving themselves from growing.

And now...

I'm Caving in.

No more elections for this motherfucker. Sick of it. Sick of it all.

Obama/Biden will win. You'll see. In a hilarious fashion only known to me and a few others. eh he he he he ha ha ha ha ha!

People Who Have Actually Experienced a Drug, Know more than those who haven't

First, I would like to address this ongoing question of my sanity or mental well being. All work and no play make O'Really... ah shit, I got nothing.

I am going to be addressing a subject that will make people uncomfortable and you might blanche at the first sentence after the fold. It will shock everyone even the people involved with taboo subject.

Is everyone ready?

Crystal Methamphetamine is a useful drug. Though it is psychologically addicting like any drug.

How are you doing?

Take a deep breath.

There might be some anger or feelings of dismissal

I bet most of you do not believe because medical studies show...

Any medical study that says Crystal Methamphatemine is an addictive drug didn't even bother to properly and thoroughly test the effects of it.

Right now, I am going to let you walk through this. I am not going to bombard you with this information because this is a community service. Don't worrry that I'm using any trick or lie to tell you something I really believe in. But for that to happen, you have to read more.

Now, right, how do I beat this scientific study? How would one go about it? Well, in this case it is through one who takes crystal meth everyday of his life and has observed its effects on lives on peoples.

Me. Crystal meth is a drug of moderation.

Eeerrrrrch! Slam!!!

If I had continued, there is a good chance that anything I say is forfeit. So, I'm switching gears and showing you the basic crystal meth economy model. What better place to look at all I have said then the beginning. So lets start with the basic elements of what crystal meth and it's basic appendages.

Well, lets look at the crystal meth lab. A highly dangerous place, that needs supervision less it explode. Interesting? Wouldn't there have been developed a safer place? Especially because soooo much money is involved. Oh, never mind, crystal meth is the cheapest hard drug where users don't use that much because it is extremely powerful and because of that power people moderate its use so that they can get the most of their drug value. That's right, crystal meth is made the way it is to last the longest and give you the most value for your dollar. Hey crystal meth sounds like a discount store. And so obviously this is a scourge to be gotten rid of because any one who deals crystal meth is not going to see that same client for another week. I remember in some movie, some book, some newspaper, some mafia movie, that dealers always want to move on the up and up?

"Oh my fucking god, crystal meth dealers and the people who make it are the stupidest fucking dealers in the world. How are they ever going to make more money?"

- If anyone doesn't understand, for even an instance, that that above paragraph wasn't sarcastic, you now have to go back to the top of this bulletin and start from the beginning. Oh, don't think I don't know who winced because they didn't know that was sarcasm. Good, none of you tried to pull one over me.

I know I just joked to for you to take some time to absorb it. But that was just there to confuse your brain, so that your mind is taken off the subject matter. And because your mind is no longer engaged...

you will be truly relaxed. This is a lot to take in all at once. If you feel overwhelmed by the knowledge, take a break. Take a deep breath. If you need to think about what I just said, take your time. What I'm writing is very difficult to understand because society doesn't like things it doesn't understand fully so they make it illegal so that they do not have to think this unknown thing is out there and makes them feel ill at ease.

Society, in this case, reacts correctly. When something unknown enters society and you have no idea what it will do, you cordon it off block, make it punishable so that their is less of this unknown thing that may or may not cause scary things. The unknown is fear inducing. And do you know who enter the unknown, who face down scary things, and they face these scary things down, they get hurt, sick, lost, reckless, twisted, awful.

btw, I have given crystal meth to a 15 year old girl. I was 23. A full 8 years older. And later on that night, it was just me and her in our friends house in the living room. All alone. There would be nothing to stop me from taken advantage of her. And oh, she liked me and if we did have sex it would have been consensual. But compromising my moral integrity is never an answer. No matter what the temptation, or what is being offered freely. There is no way in hell I am going to have sex with a 15 year old girl. - a beat - though, at 23, I might have had sex with a seventeen year old girl but only if she was more mature than her age. But that would have been an unlikely scenario as well. I like my women assertive, straight forward, and feminine.

Oh noes! The drug has control over everything about meeeeeee!

let's us all take a break. stretch your neck. Or if you need to forget all this heady stuff just open up another tab, hit that porn bookmark, and forget this for awhile.

Done?


Of course, I don't give a shit if you believe me or not. It happens to be true due to my experience and many others and not some sermonizing, demonizing bullshit that was created out of a vacuum. And save your half truths for others who do not know what they are talking about.

Remember people, I'm delusional. And... who knows, maybe someone will tell me I'm wrong when I know I'm right and it won't make a lick of difference cause I found god.

No one believes my words until they hear me speak

or other some bullshit that people add emphasis and connotation to words that mean exactly what they mean. And if this applies to you, don't comment. I happen to no more about shit than you, simply based on my varied life experience. I experience emotional pain on a far deeper level than most people. And I'm not bragging. I wish I didn't. I'm probably delusional, mentally ill, crazy, addicted to something, on something. That must be the answer to what I write.

Anyway, I'll leave you with this.

The knowledge I impart,
with knowledge you depart.

You Can't Stop Progress

I've been doing a lot of thinking today and I came to a realization, a truth if you will, about society.

You can't have a society without the dregs of society. There will always be street prostitution, there will always be drugs, there will always be criminals doing crimes whether the media reports is or not. Crime is not dictated by the media, a politician, a demagogue, a police officer, or the elderly.

You also cannot eradicate terrorism or evil or inconvenient truths. There will always be a percentage of us that do not comply with society at all. "They fell through the cracks, they never belonged, they were lost nearly from the start."

Society's problem and solution is always trying to fill the cracks with some concrete crackdown toughness. The War on Drugs. The War on Terrorism. Zero Tolerance. Three Strikes Your Out. The War on Evil. The War on Crime. Instead of "tough new cracking skulls" policies, society needs to show compassion and understanding but with a firm but not too firm grip on limiting the always present ills of society.

For an example of society implementing bludgeons to fill the crack... In every fucking speech George Bush makes he mentions some inane shit about eradicating "Extreme Islamists" or eradicating "terror in our time" or "destroying evil, wherever evil is." You cannot possibly do this. Ever. All of society, in all its power, and if in one moment we could combine our goodwill and address all of society's ills, we would fail.

Society having its dregs is a feature of society that will never see its end.

What kind of Utopian hell would we create in its absence?

Movies that will Inevitably be made

Fuck Death Argh Kill - Self explanatory.

A Selection of George Bush's Speeches during his Presidency, 2001-2009 - An ill conceived conceptual comedy compromised of reactions from people groaning, shaking their head in wonder, and averting their gaze from the Television or computer monitor lest they have to watch a grown man embarrass himself so badly.

Jack Smithing: Representative of Congress - About an uber rich member of the US congress, just like nearly all of them, stays uber rich all during his conflict of interest free years as a congressperson. Roger Ebert described this movie as the type of movie you "want to throw shit at the screen," and "wonder aloud that the country you live in is a corrupt, fucking disgrace."

Cocaine is Awesome - A propaganda piece by Cocaine Lobbyists. It extols the virtues of Cocaine use while downplaying the negative side effects or tries to make the lesser negative side effects as the only problem with Cocaine addiction. Like: "... and the worst thing about the aftermath of a 3 day Cocaine Fiesta is... nose bleeds!" Then the hollow laughter of the soulless.

Braying Donkeys - All about the stupid people who do stupid things underneath my second story apartment window. All they do is talk loud and about nothing. They never say anything interesting ever! And when I try to follow what they are talking about, I get lost in the banality of it all. They speak a dialect of English whose intricacies I have not fully explored. The inane dialect of the English language. Ya hear that, space fillers!!!

Requited Love - A (sigh) heartwarming movie that interweaves the lives of couples who have found the right person in the form of their best friend. Fuck this movie! Sorry, by all accounts, it's lovely.

Movies I Would Like to Make: More...

Bloodless Coup - Political comedy-drama where everyone gets fed up with the sitting President and takes over the 'White House." Could be any country. ahem.

Cactus in Your Armpit - this is mostly from a hallucination I wrote down. Something to do with not putting a cactus under your armpit and teaching one's sister German from a five inch German to English bible. But by doing so, you are making her retarded. Pathos will inevitably ensue.

This last one is more serious: I call it Slow Hole to China. Here is an excerpt:

... The company could afford only 34 days off a year for any employee. Though, Cassie went missing for more than a month, she was actually doing company business. That particular bit of business was for her to set up a "hole to China" office in the federal government super structure. What she actually built, did something else entirely. It would periodically, through its scan resistant programming, plant false information. That false information, always starting at infinitesimal, slowly over 4 to 4.3 years to disintegrate the system. After that, all the work that had been done with the system it will amount to absolutely nothing. So even the accurate information inputted into the system is now wrong. Because Cassie and the company would be obviously implicated, they made sure Cassie only supervised the physical construction of it, not its software or how or when and why it got its information. What the Federal Government will never find out is that the physical construction has the built in 'infinitesimal' wrong information. So the structure itself provides the 'hidden' built in 'software.' Which is actually hardwired and not software at all but a feature of the structure, "the Slow Hole to China."

As soon as other software gets uploaded and the system implemented, the problem* will be there. Right at the same time the first button is pressed to implement the government sanctioned software. So, even if they discover it, right away, they will think its the software. So, they will try new software and again the problem recognizes the difference and now, will 'find' a blind spot to start its unraveling of the system.

So, what do you think? The last one is a work in progress and looks to be either short story material or even novel or novella material. Who knows?

Campaign for Prez!

It's going great out here! The tight knit group of campaigners and volunteers I have working for me are the cream of the crop. The best of the best and also, well, the easiest people in the world to convince they are doing something great for humankind.

The suckers.

But that's another story. I'm just going to come right out and say it. I need campaign funds. Neeeeed! The top runners, McCain/Palin, and Obama/Biden, are raising hundreds of millions. Now, I'm not asking for that kind of money. It would be nice to say, "we have hundreds of dollars in the campaign coffers," but we can't because it would be a lie.

And I think that's a sad reflection on you, my supposed supporters. So get up there and pony up the cash. Have fundraisers and tell people it's for sick, dying kids in Africa. 'Cause in a way, it is. I plan, if I get elected, to help out the African nations who are suffering the worst with a AIDS Knowledge program and getting other rich people to fund that program so that the government is not the only entity picking up this enormous bill. So, in other words, technically, you are not lying when you say and do this. Please do this!

I know a lot of you have been clamoring for me to explain my Fuck IT policy. Well, in case you haven't looked at the other contenders, they're not telling you about their policies either. Ok, some, but not too much. Fuck IT will be implemented in all government agencies where applicable. It will also go by the code name: Why Not? There, you happy? Damnable nitpickers!

One more thing, before I go. Man, this election season is long. If this were any other democracy, the campaign wouldn't last more than three months and more likely, two. Fuck this forever campaigning shit.

Oh, well. I've let you know what's inside my mind. Sorry for the great distance from the last campaigning post to this one. I was... busy.

Remember, to vote. Oh, yeah, Canada is gearing up for an election of the Federal kind. It ends before the American one. That's a gas.

Corporate Welfare

700 billion dollars for banks that ceased to function. Here is a link you can use to tell you why the government intervention isn't the problem but how it is being done.

http://www.thenation.com/doc/20081006/greider

An excerpt:

Let me be clear. The scandal is not that government is acting. The scandal is that government is not acting forcefully enough--using its ultimate emergency powers to take full control of the financial system and impose order on banks, firms and markets. Stop the music, so to speak, instead of allowing individual financiers and traders to take opportunistic moves to save themselves at the expense of the system. The step-by-step rescues that the Federal Reserve and Treasury have executed to date have failed utterly to reverse the flight of investors and banks worldwide from lending or buying in doubtful times. There is no obvious reason to assume this bailout proposal will change their minds, though it will certainly feel good to the financial houses that get to dump their bad paper on the government. (emphasis added)

Exactly what the US institutions need. Bailouts are one thing. Bailouts with just money thrown behind are stupidly criminal. Read the whole damn thing. It won't make you feel better and there is an off-chance you might vomit.

I nearly did.

Moses is a Warlord Part 2

This one will be quick. It has mostly to do with the 'Golden Calf' incident.

Now, Moses is up on Mount Sinai, and the people down below are wondering what's going on. They ask Aaron to make them something they can worship because who knows when god-boy Moses is coming down or if he's even alive.

So Aaron gets all their gold jewelry, smelts it and melts it, and voila! a handcrafted golden calf by Aaron, speaker to Moses' thinker. Which the people ask if they can worship and Aaron says they can. And everything is a-ok!

Oh ohs! God tells Moses to better hurry down as the people are acting like heathens. Moses gets there and is understandably outraged. He asks Aaron for an explanation and to Aaron's credit, he tells the truth.

Now, instead of punishing Aaron, Moses deems the unruly rabble as guilty and asks "who serves the lord?" Of course, the Levites bring up their swords and slay 3000 of the Israelites. (who knew priests had swords? Explains the nifty Ephods, though)

Who would you punish? The leader that said it was ok to worship a golden calf he himself helped make or the people who's only crime was to ask and then to follow this 'false' leader?

Or was Moses never going to find one of the people he deigned worthy guilty of anything?

Oh, you all know my guess.

Moses was a Warlord: Part One

Let's start with the tribe Moses and Aaron came from; The Levites. In Genesis(NIV) 49:5-7, Jacob, also named Israel, condemns both Simeon, and Levi. He states in verse six: "Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed men in their anger..."

So, why is it then in the next four chapters in the bible, that the Levites are seen as the great priests and dispensers of justice? Simply due to nepotism. Why do you think they got all those cool priestly vestments? Ephods unlike you've ever seen! And great care is taken to describe how good and damage absorbing these are. Of course, the rest of the tribes of Israel can pretty much just fend for themselves as far as armour goes in battle. And of course, Moses probably never went to battle as he never deems battle to be worthy of description in his precious four book ode to himself and a few asides to his brother Aaron and the holy rocking priesthood that is the Levi tribe of Israel, ironically cursed by Israel himself. I think ole Jacob/Israel had something there.

Among the many things described in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy is about the ark, the priests garments, strange rituals the priests have to perform (Exodus 30: the whole chapter and I'm sure repeated ad-nauseaum in the other three books as well), in minutiae details of animal sacrifices, the tabernacle, etc.

I'm getting more general now.

You can tell Moses wrote the four books after Genesis because he cannot shut up about how great he is and how much the Israelites he 'lead' or 'caused to leave' Egypt complain. "Oh, we don't have water, oh, we don't have anything to eat." Whiners! No food and water, pah! God will smite all our enemies. All of them! And you dare to complain about lacking the basic needs of humanity?! I daresay, you lot should be grateful, for the Lord (or really, Moses) has lead you out of Egypt. Into the desert. To schlep across the desert, smiting cities and peoples that were never your enemy and that never did anything to you.

This truly is an awesome God. I mean Moses is awesome.

Old Testament God, that Moses seems to know, doesn't jibe with New Testament God that Jesus describes. Though, after the Torah, (the first five) you will eventually come across Psalms mostly written, supposedly, by David. For David, unlike Moses, truly believed in God. He didn't want to be the war monger for a war mongering God, he wanted a peaceful, a merciful God. You know, one that didn't want to wipe out civilizations because they annoyed him. But all David got from anybody as far as advice goes was "go make war, do stupid shit because our teachings say we are chosen and special and the rest of the world can fuck off and die at our hands."

Jesus, on the other hand, was a man of peace when all around him was violence and death and conquering. He truly was a revolutionary leader unlike Moses who seemed to like ordering death and destruction to those who happen to be in the vicinity.

I'll get back to more Moses, the Warlord in Part Two of this indeterminate amount of Parts Series.

People Suck

I don't ask for much in the way of niceties when I meet someone new. But saying thanks to someone who gives you something you have asked for is one of them.

Tonight, this bare assumption that I would receive thanks for anything I do for this particular person, someone who I just met, was laid to waste. I made a mental note of it and tried not to act like a dick about it.

That is all.

Upcoming Canadian Election

That's right, the federales are pushing this one. In October. Of this year. Eat your heart out, America. It only takes us a few months to get the democratic ball of justice rolling. You guys take freakin' years.

That said, I don't know which way I'm voting. My politics says NDP but the constituent in me says Conservative. Living in Abbotsford, B.C., Ed Fast has done nothing but good. In case you're wondering why I would ever vote Conservative. He's the damn reason, not Harper. Whom I don't particularly think is a good PM even though he has done a few things worthy of admiration.

One being that he saw the Dalai Lama in his office instead of a hotel room. Unlike so many other world leaders afraid to piss off China.

Movies I Would Like to Make: A Synopsis

Shitty Thoughts About You - A light hearted, yet mean spirited romantic comedy.

Killed by White People - six day long documentary about people throughout history that have been killed by white folk.

Viruses - About a sick man. A very, very sick man.

Post Modern Gun Owners - movie that depicts gun owners killing people in a recklessly but they are aware that they are behaving in a stereotypical redneck fashion and make fun of themselves in a dry, witty, urbane way.

Dead Doctor's Delivery - about an un-dead doctor going into stand-up comedy with terrible delivery. The drama is about his struggles. His painful, in minutiae struggle to perfect his delivery of jokes. Painful, in minutiae, delivery of un-dead observation styled jokes.

Citizen Krap - like Citizen Kane only the guy's name is changed to Krap. And then document the inherent downfall of someone with a lousy last name.

Hugo Chavez Overdrive - Hugo Chavez in a never seen before side of him. Driving Ferraris, drinking, snorting coke, snorting oil, solving crimes, and all the while governing Venezuela above reproach. He obviously now as acceded to US demands and sold out the poor people of his country. Mostly this movie is him driving and shooting disenfranchised poor people.

Ditch Livin' - independent style movie with bittersweet denouements about people talking, laughing, crying, and pathos; but everyone lives in the ditch.

Imagining Mohamed - a movie for infidels that imagine Mohamed. What he would have worn and looked like even though Islam strictly forbids images sculpted or drawn of the Prophet, they cannot take away the infidels powerful imagining of him.

PussyAssSex - porno with a wimpy guy having sex with various people; anal and vaginal. But done in a milquetoast style by the protagonist.

Deadly Till Dawn - Nocturnal lemurs run amok in this heady thriller about lemurs who are big and stuff and do things to people who are sleeping. Perhaps there be a scene where the head lemur is raping a hot chick.

First Lady

Technically I am single. Though, my relationship(s) would be controversial if I told anyone. Basically I am married to my hands. ahem.

So, now that we got that out of the way, I am having trouble with all the positive news coming out of the Democratic National Convention. Speech after speech. Hit after hit. I cannot abide by this, this... wonderfulness. So Fuck It.

I am looking for a 1st lady. If you look like this:


or are named Jill Hennessey then we'll get along just fine.

Alive in the (un)known

Taking a break from stupidities from the faux campaign. I mean, seriously, even for faux campaigns I'm not serious. My dog for running mate? Fuck it.

Being alive is a state of life. A rite of passage for the poverty stricken. The next meal, the next drink of clean water, shelter, health. Alive is a way of life.

Alive till the next light and then a state of life is fought for. Never expecting more than the next meal, clean water, shelter, clothes, and maybe good health; if you're lucky.

People at Daily Kos are acting like asshats

Yup. Joe Biden's Obama's running mate. You should see all the crap that is being flung there, right now. Click on DKos blog link that I have. Go there now! If you read this to late, they have an awesome search engine. Search for Biden on the site, and it will take to some of the most moronic posts ever. I cannot express my opinion on there right now, without getting piled on. I'll wait till the stupidity dies.

And it's rife with stupidity. Lots of people concerned worried happy, overjoyed, laughing, crying, yawning, vomiting, diarrhea-verbal, crap, blah, blah, blah.

I would have picked Hillary Clinton. That's a one-two combination that couldn't be beat. Turns out though, they probably wouldn't work well together. Also, she didn't want the job. So...

Anyway, had to vent. Normally that site is not so caca coo coo. But this election year...

My Running Mate

You guys, all three of you, will be the first to find out who my running mate will be. (drum roll) My dog Harley! He's a Shih Tzu, mostly black with a bit of white on his chest. A 'tuxedo' kind of Shih Tzu. So, we match up a little bit with Obama. My dog has foreign policy experience based on the ancient instincts of his ancestors passed onto him from the Tibetan and Chinese mountains.

I have beaten the others except Nader I think, on choosing my running mate. I don't even want to speculate on the other candidates choice for VP because all of them make me want to wretch! Except Obama, for him I will swallow my vomit and not spew it all over my floor.

Simple, short, concise, condensed for your reading pleasure. And once again, feast your eyes on gorgeousness and incredible cuteness of my running mate, Harley.

Note: I have yet to clear this with the 'other' caretaker. I'm sure she won't mind. ahem

Trashing my Opponents Because as I Understand it, This is One of Those Things to do as a Candidate

First on my list to shred is the Republican Monarch nominee, John McCain('s Super-fries). He is 71 turning 72. His health, as proven by the 1200 page health document dump (2000-2008), is questionable. Sure he sees his doctor on a regular basis but it seems that they are always finding something wrong with him. On to more important differences...

The Iraq war. Why does he support this and want to see it come to a ringing 'victory' (whatever a victory in Iraq would look like) for the US. At this point, there is no possible victory unless it means that the Oil Companies will have secured their piece of the Iraq bubbly oil pie and then the American soldiers can leave.

Torture. This article by Andrew Sullivan is illuminating. Under the current US laws regarding torture, John McCain was never tortured. But we all know he was tortured. He keeps bringing it up. So why the hell does he support Bush and company's version of torture? Fuck him. He panders more than Panda bear handlers. (note: lame, really lame joke. Might work with American audience though) http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/was-mccain-tort.html

Ralph Nader. Old. Past his prime. He really should not have alienated the Green Party. It drags both political camps down and puts the Green Party even more behind the eight ball to become a viable third party.

Bob Barr: Don't know much about him. He's keeping a tight lid. But I like the fact that he's siphoning of disgruntled Republican voters. Keep it up! I guess no reason to trash him. Well, his name sounds dumb.

Barack Obama, who's name should not be underlined red in my Firefox spell check anymore. If I don't win, he's going to. On to the thrashing of his good name. Obama hasn't said enough about the economy, which is on most people's minds now. Practically all the time. What with all the high and getting higher prices on commodities like food and energy. His foreign policy sounds a lot like other US presidents in this last century. Which is to say "US uber alles." American exceptional-ism is no longer a viable world policy. Stop talking about US interests. Start talking about World interests. The interests of your neighbours. Say a word or two about how you are going to listen to International Courts instead of Bush's plan to cover his ears and sing loudly.

Also, Obama's reluctance to fight Telecom immunity during the FISA bill (which was about giving communications businesses immunity from prosecution from violating the law because the government said that they should help out by violating US law. This is in regards to domestic spying. i.e. wire taps.) Filibuster that shit, Obama! Too late, too late, is mine and others cry to the void of hedging your political bets you son of a b...

I shouldn't bring your mother into this. I'm sure she wasn't a bitch and therefore calling you a son of a bitch is not fair to her. How's about, bastard? No, again with the mother thing. Hmmm... well, I'll come up with a word to describe your pandering to the lowest common denominator. To be fair, you don't pander to the lowest common denominator most of the time. Kudos, milquetoast.

I'm out of here. My campaign team and I are now manufacturing bumper stickers with our motto, Fuck It.

Faux Presidential Campaigns by some Smart-ass Blogger

In light of my recent announcement that I am running for President of the United States, I would like to separate myself from other such declarations made by others throughout the internet.

I am not scandal ridden like so many other bloggers before me. There are no skeletons in my closet that I am not willing to divulge for a campaign contribution or some free press. I have never cheated on my past girlfriends, though on the other hand, I don't mind helping them cheat on their partners.

Another difference is that I have a political policy (Fuck It) that will dictate all my other governmental policies. If I may try to better define Fuck It for you the reader and possible vote.
It is a "counter-punch" reaction to shit that a) is going on now, b) happened in the past, c) will inevitably happen, or d) is always happening. I hope that helps a little. I haven't hammered out all the little details, the what ifs, and the what-have-yous but it will soon be clear.

I also think I differentiate from the rest of the faux field by my virtue of being from another country. You will hear more from me, that I assure.

In peace, love, and drug-induced euphoria,
forever yours,
O'Really, the one real, actual choice for President of the United States of America

Fuck it, I'm running for President of the USA

Fuck it will be my campaign slogan. It will be my motto, my mantra, to impart on the millions of potential electors that I am the only one with a totally honest reason for wanting to become the President of the United States.

So, I guess I'll start by outlining some of my policies. First, my total honesty policy. I admit I was not born in your country. Technically, neither was John McCain. He was born in Panama. Though, Panama was under US control, it's still another fucking country. Because Iraq was under US control, would we consider someone born there an American? No. I was born in Vancouver, B.C. which is only an hour's drive from the Canadian-American border. I guess I could qualify by proxy.

Fuck it will be incorporated to every policy measure. Like, the American penchant for meddling in sovereign nations. Fuck it, I'm going to put a total stop on it. I will make sure that the US is on a level playing field that the rest of the United Nation nations is playing on.

Get rid of the loophole that allows short selling. This is how hedge funders make most of their doughy dough. This kind of 'borrowing', normally called stealing elsewhere in the free world, is a big cause of the inflated prices everyone else who are not them see every time they shop for groceries or pump fuel.

This is just a start. I will, in further posts, outline a brighter future for Americans. Why, you might ask, would a Canadian be so interested in running for office of it's neighbour downstairs? Well, I'm sick of them infecting the world with their particular brand of imperialism.

Fuck it.

First Blog, First Post, Big Deal

I have never, ever blogged for myself. I have blogged on other people's sites. Ostensibly that was for myself but I always had to keep in mind, the audience. What a drag. Like on DKos, where one would state something as innocuous as "Iraqis fighting the American army are just freedom fighters fighting for their nation." You would expect at least one person backing you up.

Oh, yes, this happened about a year ago where the sentiment I just espoused was poo-pooed into the nether regions of one's 'progressive liberal' mind. Now, this sentiment is more than ok and the progressive liberal mind of the American can handle such a thought. Yes, it is small and petty of me to bring this up but it brings me to the larger point; expressing unpopular ideas even though you are most assuredly are right.

This approach takes equal measure arrogance, but balanced out nicely that you will in fact be called all sorts of names. "Asshole," "delusional," "Troll (what, troll for common sense, yeesh)," and the nicest one being, "not a troll just very confused."

So, from my little lesson, I think we can gather that expressing unpopular views will get you negative reactions. And when those unpopular views become mainstream thought, don't brag about it. The smug satisfaction I feel does not have a topper to being this right. Besides, it's so called unpopular opinions that are right (has to be right, you can't just say things willy nilly now) that will get people into actually thinking, "yeah, maybe that asshole was right about it."

Or most likely, they will have forgotten what you said, post your thought as their thought and collect all the kudos you think you ought to have. But that's not important. Your idea, your thought, your thesis, is or was out there for everyone to read. To reject, to deny, or to perhaps one day seep into their subconscious and let them tell a bigger, wider, audience than you could have at the time.

Didn't know where I was going with this but I liked where it ended up. Next up: How to know you're right. Maybe down the road, for that one.
