Hello, Captain Obvious




I just could not resist posting about the two articles listed back-to-back this morning on CNN.com under "Most Popular on CNN".

The first...

AAAAAHHHHHH YEAHHHHH!!!
First African American U.S. President, Only 8 Months Into First Term Wins MotherF*ckin' Nobel Peace Prize, Bitches!

Ok, maybe that one wasn't so obvious. But theGOPisDEAD thinks it's fan-f*cking-tastic. It was making us a bit sick to hear these douche-head critics lambasting Obama's talk about being "a citizen of the world", as if there's an evil conspiracy to destroy the constitution and impose an Islamic rule of law worldwide. Really? F*ck off.

This is wonderful news, something ALL Americans should be deeply proud of. It demonstrates that in an age where isolationism is no longer a viable option, it pays to play nice with your neighbors. On the other hand, we're curious if this may have any consequences on future military options in Afghanistan. Probably not, but we're betting it's a bit of a douche move to accept the NPP (yeah, we did that) and then launch a bunch of hellfire missiles over yonder. Then again, nobody likes the Taliban so to Hell with them. Let's see how this one plays out...

And on the other side of the coin:

Gun-toting Soccer Mom, Husband Shot Dead

Ah, there's my brain... right inside my skull where I left it. In a ploy to use the word "douche" just a few more times in this post, let's go over the Stupid Checklist..

Public park or playground? check.
Small children under the age of 5? check.
No threats of any kind other than skinned knees? check.
Douchebag "patriots" poorly making a point? check.
"Accidental" gun violence at home leaving child parent-less? oh hell yes, check.

GUNS KILL PEOPLE. PERIOD!

It's not "people kill people"... it's a false argument, a sham, a fraud, a horrible, pathetic, inexcusable justification for what...? What is wrong with these people? Why are they so afraid of not being able to carry a lethal weapon around with them in public that they go to extremes under the guise of personal liberties? And while we're at it, hey Ted Nugent.. F*CK YOU TOO.

Ignorant *ssholes like that douche came out right after the Virgina Tech killings to exclaim that if more people had been armed, the tragedy would never have happened. But this kind of logic has too many holes in it, and ignores the most obvious point... the mere presence of such weapons can ONLY stand to increase the chances and opportunity for such violence. There is NO other acceptable way to view this. There is a reason the USA has an exponential lead in gun violence over other Western powers... guns are widely available and we have a society with some itchy trigger-fingers. Really, next time you need to bring a weapon to a kid's soccer match, make it a knife. It's so much more personal, watching the eyes of your victim slowly close as they bleed out. Shhhh... shhh..... it's almost over..... Sphere: Related Content
