Random Questions: Rants, Rants, and More Rants Edition

It's the first of May, and here we are with another edition of Random Questions. To paraphrase the great Gary Shandling, and let me say that i'm an 18 year-old, but in my spare time, things bother me. Like how a vapid, idiotic reality drama made the cover of one of my favorite magazines, or how a conservative group will sink to new sleazy lows to discredit climate change in order to please Exxon Mobile, or how America is so shocked about the Miley Cyrus topless photos, or how the Democratic race can't seem to come to a conclusion. Enjoy, and feel free to answer my questions.

- Why the fuck has Rolling Stone Magazine, the bible of all things rock-and-roll, letting the cast of MTV's The Hills grace it's front cover?!It's bad enough that a.) this show exists and b.) it's become a pop-culture phenomenon (watching a bunch of girls backstab one another for revenge, for love, or for the hell of it, isn't television, it's a reminder of why high school sucks) but for RS to give Lauren Conrad and her co-stars the front-fucking-page is almost unforgivable. If they're giving these reality TV stars the cover, then I want to see of RS's many talented contributing editors write up an obituary for MTV, becasue it's shows like The Hills, My Super Sweet Sixteen, and Laguna Beach that have destroyed the reason why we used to watch MTV to begin with.

- Ok, this is kind of redundant question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway: why must conservatives continue to try and discredit global warming? This week, Think Progress reported how the right-wing news outlet World Net Daily.com held a contest for kids who could repeat the talking point that global warming was bullshit. Here's part of an essay that won 1st place, and it's from Russell Young of Minnesota.

"Here are just a few other films schools might use for their teaching curriculums. 'The Polar Express' could be used for instruction on transportation systems. 'Borat' is a perfect teaching tool for understanding how the Democratic Party uses focus groups. 'Alien,' could be used to teach students about anatomy and homeland security, all at the same time," he wrote.

"'Far fetched,' you say. Maybe, but 'Moby Dick' taught me all I ever needed to know about whales, and I'm a marine biologist," he said.

Geez. I'm beginning to wonder if this was the grand scheme in Bush's "No Child Left Behind" policy....At any rate, the GOP knows it can't discredit the threat of climate change, so for them, there's only one viable option: keep the little ones ignorant by repeating the same lies again and again until it becomes, in their heads, an irrefutable fact.

- When are Obama supporters and Hillary supporters going to grow the fuck up? I am a proud supporter of Barack Obama's run for president, but if Hillary Clinton somehow won the Democratic nomination, I wouldn't have a problem with it. This country is too much in a fucked-up state to be left in the hands of the GOP for another four years of the same failed policies that got us into trouble. Apparently, even this fact can't bring the bitch-fighting to a halt, as demonstrated by an article found in the Huffington Post.

Go to google and put in Obama and Donald Young! It will be out next week.
Go Hillary!!!!

Also if Obama has time to go on Letterman why can't he have time to
debate Clinton?? He isn't man enough to take on Hillary.

Yeah "Obama and Donald Young" good call - why don't you also ask Hillary about the Vince Foster murder. I suppose the next claim will be that Obama was involved in the Hindenburg tragedy, that he knew Sacco and Vanzetti, and he has been suspiciously quite about where Jimmy Hoffa is, too.

Everyone! Google Paul vs Clinton and hold on to your shirt with what you read!! I can not believe this is being hidden so well by the media and Clinton supporters claim she has a chance of winning once she is convicted in this case that she is apparently guilty of along with Gov Ed Randell and Former Pres Clinton. This will all be over soon! I know the superdelegates are watching this!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can!!!!

P.S. If you want to see a video of one of Clinton's top aide in her campaign office called the people of Indiana SHI_! Then check out the video that is what her people really think snakes all of them liers and snakes!!

I'm so sick of this shit. How 'bout a truce? Us Obama backers shall cease the get out of the campaign, Hillary! rhetoric, and Hillary supporters can quit defending her attempts of scarring the shit out of white voters to side with Hillary! Sound fair?

- Why do I keep getting these MySpace invites of women trying to plug themselves for AdultFinder.com? Yes, i'm 18; yes, I do get depressed about being single and wondering if i'll fall madly in love, but i'm not desperate to start searching for a fuck buddy, OK? There's a reason why I watch porn, I don't need a pity fuck.

- Why must Miley Cyrus act like she's so shocked about those risque photos she took? The new celebrity scandal of the week is Hanna Montanan going nude for Vanity Fair Magazine....sort of. Well, she was showing her back in a very proactive way, and now she's trying her damned hardest to do damage control.

"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed...I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."

Can anyone say, bullshit? Please, Miley, you're not embarrassed, and you're sure as heck not sorry, becasue if you were, you wouldn't have taken the damn pictures to begin with.
