Our government is debating "Corporate responsibility"?
Are they fucking kidding me? We're in a fucking war. What the hell is our government doing?
- Who gives a shit how many people get screwed by Enron this year when they could be exterminated from the planet next year?
- How strong an act of self deception is required to pretend that we have the luxury of time to talk about "corporate responsibility" and "capitalism with conscience" while multiple terrorist groups are plotting to destroy us?
But wait, there's more. The idiots that brought you Smokey Bear and The Crash Test Dummies are now reminding us that people with brown skin are equally capable of saying "I am an American" as John Q. Albino. And that we can go screw ourselves if we look twice at the guy in the turban who sits behind us on the airplane and has a particularly strong fondness for his Nikes.
I want someone to turn one of these "I am an American" commercials into an interactive video game. I don't even play video games. But I'll invest in the game system that lets me shoot every one of these Iranian and Indian motherfuckers who tell me that they're "Americans" with an air of moral self-righteousness that smells worse than the 2-month old squid-laced kimchi sitting in my refrigerator. Is there anything worse than liberals saying "fuck you" - preemptively? Bush should drop those Ad Council America-haters on Afghanistan. I know, the war there is over. But fuck 'em, let's drop 'em there anyway.
Did I say I was feeling good? Yes. And this is the sewage that spews from my mind when I actually take ten minutes to think about the state of the world. Because at this minute, the priorities of this country include:
- the meanness of CEOs
- the hypothetical prejudices of American citizens who watched businessmen and women jump out of skyscraper windows
- whether it's 100% safe for airplane pilots to shoot at terrorists before they slit their throats and fly their planes into buildings
And yeah, we're going to invade Iraq...
