Miscellaneous Assholery

Is it me, or does the bullshit in our world just keep getting more moronic by the day? I'm beginning to think that there is just no intelligent life left on our planet. The world is so f'd up that if I were describe it to someone who has been living under a rock, I wouldn't know where to start. In fact, right about now, living under a rock sounds like paradise. Every day that I read the net, watch TV, and even chat with people on Facecrack or Twitter, it's a depressing assortment of events that makes your head spin. No wonder we Americans are over-weight and chemically dependent. We seek comfort in junk food, video games, and sedatives such as pills and alcohol.

Since I am of the Baby Boomer generation, I find that in my interaction with others of my age, we see the world as falling apart. The URBAN DICTIONARY  has labeled the baby boomers as the,"most self righteous and incredibly arrogant generation of all time." I kid you not. How the hell did that happen? When did that happen?
Even more incredibly startling is their definition of the 90's generation, known also as GENERATION Y  or the Echo Generation. Yes, these are the offspring of Baby Boomers. So, the little snot nose brats that wrote this Urban Dictionary bullshit are the perfect generation? The children of the 21st century are clueless. They have not experienced the real world. Remember the famous saying from our generation, "Reality Bites?"
It still does.

The constant bombarding of 24 hour news stations, social media outlets and that Baby Boomer invention called the television, has turned this generation in to electronic junkies who can't take their eyes off their devices long enough to see the world and interact with people face-to-face. The speed of their fingers on a keyboard as it clacks away at a frenzied pace has made this generation lazy and dependent. Hell, schools have stopped teaching cursive writing because this generation knows only the keyboard.

If we were self righteous and incredibly arrogant, then this generation is the "you owe me generation." That's right, we Baby Boomers are most likely your grandparents and we don't owe you shit!

The high profile people; politicians, movie stars, over paid athletes, ad nausem, influence the actions and thoughts of people every day. You don't know it, but it does.

If you're paying attention, and have not yet chosen to climb under a rock, these are just some of the things bombarding us every day:

• The George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin trial is underway and their star witness, who was allegedly that last person to talk to Martin before his death, is an uneducated, lying piece of shit. This whole trial is a joke. Zimmerman acted in self defense but the trial is happening because it would be 'racist' not to prosecute Zimmerman. If Zimmerman is convicted, it could have devastating effects to the Stand your Ground Rule. If he's found innocent, blacks everywhere threaten to riot in the streets. Ah, let's think about this... Violence, people? Seriously? Many threatened to do that during the 2012 election if Obama didn't win a second term. 
• Aaron Hernandez- an athlete so full of himself he thought he could get away with murder. He destroyed evidence and has hints of gang ties. Only a 4th round draft pick for a reason. He conveniently and maliciously destroyed his cell phone. He tried unsuccessfully to destroy the contents of his own home security system. Minutes after leaving the crime scene, he's shown on video brandishing a handgun. Idiot of the highest form. Too many steroids, no doubt.
• Paula Deen- Diva of southern cuisine is being ripped apart by the press and all her endorsements are having a domino effect on her livelihood. Why? Because she used the N word - ah, fuck it- she used the word 'Nigger' some 20 + years ago..and she said it out loud! Oh. My. God - stop everything people! A woman from the deep south used that word in a different era and in a different time. She was honest and she confessed. If there's any white person out there over the age of 30 who says they have never used that word, they're full of shit. Why is this a double standard? Michael Vick killed dogs for money and got his football contract back. Chris Brown was a domestic abuser and has his career back. Many high profile blacks are being forgiven for their indiscretions and yet, a middle aged white woman is being slaughtered over one indiscretion. Isn't that 'racism'?'
• Mayor Bloomberg- Wants to ban large bottles of soda because we're too fat. He's the world's dietitian and he knows what's best for us. We can't think for ourselves. I think all that money gets in the way of his rational thinking. His campaign for Mayors Against Illegal Guns initially gathered a following. The anti gun crowd saw this as a good idea - in theory. Now, some of the mayors are dropping out. Presumably because he himself is too radical and I suspect, he's related to Dianne Feinstein. His flock is slowly deteriorating and other Mayors say that what he stands for is not something they want to be associated with. The premise was of course, illegal guns. That's not where Bloomberg is taking this. He's offending people. The hypocrite travels with armed bodyguards because of death threats, yet he thinks taking guns away from everybody will solve the problem. I could go on, but he's just an asshole and not worth my time.
• The IRS- ah yes, the bane of every US citizen. Did they or didn't they? Did the White House have knowledge of their selective investigations? I'm betting they did but others are throwing themselves on their swords in an effort to deflect any negative impact on the President's administration. So many idiotic mistakes are being revealed. No one ever really trusted those incompetent bastards, so let's just reinforce that perception with this scandal. And they're entrusted with ensuring everyone gets health care or make you pay the penalty come tax refund time? When SCOTUS ruled this as constitutional, I about fell off my chair. How could it be? I don't have a choice in the matter? The implementation of Obamacare is right around the corner and big problems are arising.
• The NSA & Verizon- Oh gees, where do I start? Are we being spied upon by our own government and without probable cause or warrants? Oh hell, yeah! And it's been happening for a very long time. We just didn't know it or turned a blind eye. The far left leaning liberal news media, who consistently fawned over our worthless leader, is now awake and paying attention. How dare the government violate their 1st Amendment rights? Well, DUH! Apparently they didn't see any of the other Constitutional rights violations. They are just now seeing the big picture because it involves them directly. You've all been asleep for the last 5 years, haven't you?
• Edward Snowden- That poor bastard. He's a threat to national security because he became a whistle blower. Granted, he exposed government secrets involving the NSA and the CIA and no doubt violated an oath. But the problem lies now with finding the rights and wrongs of this guy's actions. This incident is labeled as the most significant leak in US history and our government wants to charge him with espionage. Snowden is running to countries that are 'safe havens' for people such as himself. Unfortunately, they know where he is all the time. I admire his tenacity and ideal, but I'm torn on what and how he did it. Then... when you're exposing government secrets, expect a backlash.
• POTUS- (don't you love all these new acronyms?) Yea, that guy. Oh my, he's on vacation again and wasting the taxpayers money more and more each day. There's a laundry list of things wrong with this presidency and even some of his fellow dems (jackasses) are turning their backs on him. He is indeed the worst president this country has ever had. He has far surpassed Carter. Obama is a racist. He has on many occasions opened his mouth and without knowing all the facts, accused people of showing racist tendencies. And he has a law degree? HA! He practically promotes divisiveness among our country when he should be trying to fix the problems of his own race. Does he ever wonder why the average black male is either getting killed or in jail? That they aspire to become drug dealers, rappers and thugs? That staying in school and getting an education, a real job, and becoming a productive member of society might actually be a goal to aspire to? Not likely. He promotes the welfare state. Yes, that's right....we've come full circle and we're at the "you owe me generation" once again.

I could go on and on, but you're probably clamoring for a refreshing alcoholic beverage and looking for a comfortable rock somewhere.
