An Army of 1 in 10

This week’s BotW is one of my personal favorite blogs — BlameBush!

The man behind this site is Liberal Larry who writes to warn the world of the many evils of King George II. In fact, the site’s tag line is, “Because Bush is to Blame for Everything,” and he certainly does blame Bush for everything.

As you can read on his “about” page, he majored in Greco-Roman Sexual Positions and Interpretive Clog Dancing at UC Berkeley and obtained his Masters in Gender Studies at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington where he ganized the school’s first Free Mumia March to a nearby Starbuck’s. He’s been teaching Midget Studies and the Kama Sutra 101 since early last year, and he takes special care to ensure that his students are not ignorant of the dangers of the Vast Right-Wing conspiracy.

He’s recently spoken out in defense of John Kerry in this riveting and enlightening post:

“You know education,” Sen. John Kerry warned students at Pasadena City College, “if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”

In the blink of his stately eye, Kerry’s words were picked up by the digital pajama brigade and repeated ad nauseum by their stooges in the right-wing media, angering military families and veterans groups who are apparently too stupid to comprehend the subtle nuances of his brilliant oratory.

Thrice wounded on the battlefields of Vietnam, Sen. John Kerry would never dream of insulting the intelligence of our babykilling, genital-shocking, cattle razing, women-and-children-terrorizing troops. If they had any brains, they’d know that. Rather, he was simply mocking and ridiculing their Commander-in-Chief in a time of war. As someone who never obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree or played for the Yale Lacrosse team, Bush is completely incapable of leading troops into battle. The miserable quagmire that the illegal and immoral war has become is proof of that.

Of course, this blog is complete satire and hysterically funny. Liberal Larry doesn’t state what his true political beliefs are (are they even relevant for a humor site?), but he does a great job of acting like a left-wing lunatic who’s lost touch with reality. Regardless of whatever his personal beliefs may be, BlameBush! is a great read and is a frequent stop of mine.

BlameBush! wins this week’s Blog of the Week designation and my complete endorsement. Go forth and read this blog and laugh.

Back in 1990, I was watching a tv show called “Doogie Hauser, M.D.,” a show about a child prodigy who was a doctor. Remember that show? It starred Neil Patrick Harris, who I had a huge crush on at the time. I remember how disappointed I was when I watched a preview for an upcoming episode in which he was in the shower and knowing that I would not be able to watch it because we were in the process of moving to New Jersey. I certainly had more than a few fantasies about him back when I was a teenager.

Now, he’s announced that he is gay and quite proud of it too. Now if I could just go back in time and tell my younger self that Doogie is gay (as well as Danny Pintauro from Who’s The Boss), I’d do so in a heartbeat. I wonder how I’d react to that knowledge.

A few months ago, I noticed a free download on the iTunes Music Store for Dimension by Wolfmother. After listening to the preview, I thought about buying the album but didn’t make a decision until I found the CD at the PX a couple of weeks later.

Tonight, I’ve been listening to that CD again and I continue to be amazed at the talent of this band. My personal favorite from their self-titled album is Joker & the Thief. The music is great, has an awesome beat, and it doesn’t hurt that Andrew Stockdale (lead singer) is cute (even if his hair is reminiscent of Sideshow Bob).

Seriously though — Wolfmother is a great band, and I look forward to more albums from them. I’m very picky about what music I listen to, and their songs are all ones I can turn the volume up on and thoroughly enjoy. I just wish there was a video for Joker & the Thief on iTMS.
